speaking of funerals, a couple of incidents happened while we had my dad's. I'm not sure if i posted it up yet or not but will repeat anyway! lol oh! and it's not scary. hehehe
ever since the rumor started about the hmong vampires, a lot of hmong people, when they did funerals, they would cover up half of the coffin with a plastic or glass sheet. well, for the my dad's funeral, that's what we did. the first day of my dad's funeral, one of my SIL was "watching" the coffin. well, out of no where, she started seeing this little bug fly all over her face. it wouldn't roam anywhere else but her face. she looked into the coffin and there was a fly inside the coffin. she got some elders and they removed the fly and made sure nothing would get inside the coffin or pass the plastic sheet. a couple of hours later, started feeling these little small needle like stabs on her right lower leg. she didn't think much of anything until she remembered how she was lectured about "watching" the coffin since she was a DIL. she got some elders and they checked all over my dad's coffin and found a tissue paper that was inside the coffin and it was by his right lower leg.
Those happened on the first day. Nothing really happened the 2nd or 3rd day but a couple of incidents did happen the last day. As we were laying my dad onto the ground, it kind of got stuck. They had to pull him back up and when they looked inside, there was a big rock on the side. They had to call those cemetery people and they had to take it out. Well, they tried it a second time and still, it wouldn’t go down. The elders started to discuss what the heck was going on until my SIL realized that maybe he wanted his dentures to take to the after life. Our pastor, who was a major impact in my dad’s life, told my dad that my SIL already went and grab his dentures and for him to wait another time for it so for him to go peacefully. They tried it again and he fit right into the ground. While all this was happening, the sun was burning high in the sky and there was this black shadow that was flying all over us. A couple of us looked up and saw nothing. Just the sun and the open blue sky but you could still see that bird or shadow flying around.
