My mom became a shaman last year...Right after that, she would dream of my cousin who had deceased for about 5 years now... she would cry to my mom and say she's being punished by the "sue ka" (That thing that shamans hang on their wall with the chicken feathers and paper.) She warned my uncle them that their daughter wasn't happy, but they didn't listen. Around that same time, my uncle's kids would experience strange phenomenons around their house. Once, my cousin See was in bed talking on the phone, when all of a sudden she saw a dark figure run by her bed and underneath. She got really scared and ran outside. Her younger brother, Chameng keeps hearing heavy breathing near him when he sleeps. The oldest brother who has a wife and two kids, keeps having bad dreams. The brother's oldest two year old daughter, would get up in the middle of the night and run outside of the bedroom, giggling and playing with someone. FInally, my Uncle got worried and decided to ua neeg for the family.
They decided to invite my mom's sifu to perform the ritual. My mom's sifu asked her to go watch and learn. The thing about my mom is, her dag neeg not only allows her to do the ua neeg stuff, but also allows her to talk to the dead, and sometimes the dead can even talk through her. Well, while her sifu was performing, all of a sudden my mom just closes her eyes, and groans. My sisters and I were there, so we became afraid, and didn't understand what was happening. I asked my mom what was wrong, and she just shook her head, and said she wanted some rest.
Thus, we took her to sleep in See's room. I was worried about my mom, so me and my sister sat on the ground at the foot of the bed where my mom was laying down, and played cards. We were laughing and talking, when all of a sudden my mom wakes up, with eyes closed shut, but tearns streaming down her face. I could feel the atmosphere change... the room was very cold now. Then my mom spoke and said, "Go tell my mom to come here."
At that moment, I knew my mom was no longer here, and whoever was here was most likely my decease cousin. I ran quickly out the room, gathered her family into the room with my mom... My mom (deceased cousin) cried and cried and told my aunty how much she loved her, and how she would always go with her to work, and make sure she comes home safely. She also said that she didn't mean to scare her siblings, but only wanted them to know she love and miss them. Then she turned to her dad and yelled at him, saying its his fault she died, and he better love her mom and siblings... She kept crying, and everyone was becoming afriad, so my mom's sifu stopped her ceremony to try to get my deceased cousin out of my mom.... The sifu finally sent her spirit away... after that, my mom slumped down and passed out for about a good two hours or so...
Ever since then, my mom tries really hard to not let anyone take control of her body anymore... because they say its not good to let the dead do that to the living...
About three weeks ago, my grandfather passed... At the funeral home, my mom's face became pale and she was groaning the way she did at my cousin's house. She walked out of the funeral home... later on she told us that grandpa wanted to speak to us, but she didn't want to let him because everyone would be afraid.
