Ok, so here I was at work ...suddenly the phone rang and it was the home #.  I thought to myself, no one's home so who could be calling me?  I picked up and said, "Hello...."...all was quiet...no sound......I said, "Helloo..again. .." and a family member said, "Did you know where I left my cell phone..."

Whew...all these ghost stories...can really stir the imaginations heeheh....

Last night I didn't get any ZZZZZZZZZZ because of the ghost stories in here.  In the dark, my eyes kept looking for shawdows and lord knows what....and yes, finally crept under the blanket and surrender to exhaustion. 

Today, i'm a little restless, cranky...thank goodness for coffee.

Hmm, I'm still a skeptic about that theory.  However, I will say this:  Sometimes in dreams, I dreamt of places, people that I know very well but than when I wake up, I have no clue who those people are, never seen them in real life.

There are many good rituals but there is also one good ritual that is bad for others and good for the people doing the ritual.
In hmong i forgot what we called it, but in english we call it "retracing soul calling"

When my grandma was 9 months prenagnt and was about to have her kid, she felt something was wrong.  Everyone was out of the house and my grandma was the only one so she gave birth to her son.  What she saw would change her life.  When her son came out it was dead and his face was white and skin was puff and it was like he got a hot water burn.  My grandma immediately knew that someone somewhere did the ritual "Trace and bring back the soul" and took her son's soul back to the sick living person.  My grandma was very upset. So she learned the ritual herself and used it through out her life.  This Ritual is forbbiden by the heavens.  My grandma told me this ritual is rather defined as calling your soul back to you and will eventually kill the other person with your soul living in it.
She said who ever does this, only Yawg Sau will judge them when they get to heaven.
..
let me explain how this works.

You are sick and not feeling well and your face is pale like you have no soul.  Just like Bart simpson when he had no soul, but usually that person is sick and has yellow ear.  So someone calls an elder who knows hmong rituals or shaman to perform a small ritual to see what really happen.  If the shaman tells you that your soul has move on and recarnated to another baby or an already born person then they will perform this ritual. This ritual goes like this.
If your  soul have recarnated into an unborn baby boy that is still in the mom's pouch then the baby will be born dead because the soul is being call to go back into the originator's body, the living sick person.  The baby will have no soul and die when comes out but face and body will look like a boil burn.  This will cure the sick person because his wandered soul came back to him.

If the sick person's soul have been reborn then it is too late, the sick person will have no soul and will eventually die.  My grandma told me that sometimes,
people get sick because their soul is hurt or had a broken heart and wandered off to start a new life.  She said sometimes people's soul will leave at an early age and start a new life and the person would not know it until 5-20 yrs later.  By then his soul had already grown up and had kids, so the ritual won't work anymore.

 

OK, so this also supports the theory of reincarnation.  Hmmm, i don't know if such exist.

Last night I couldn't sleep a wink thanks to some of you guys wonderful storytellings!  I kept imagining someone standing at the foot of the bed, crawling up on me, touching my hair in the middle of the night...my wondering mind at work in the dark!  Finally after some intense praying to calm my nerves...sleep came.


YES, I didn't have a good rest..BUT keep'em coming

I don't know how I would react, probably not as brave as some of you, and so i'm glad to be reading and not experiencing them.

I don't have any personal encounters and I hope to keep it this way
