Experience description:
As
a small boy with two sisters one older and one younger, I shared a bedroom with
my younger sister. The two single beds were almost next to each with aa small
gap where two bedside tables sat. I was approximately 8 at the time which would
make my sister 3.
I
recall waking up and 'drifting' to the end of the bed where I stopped, turned
and looked at myself asleep in bed. I looked towards my sister who was storing
and beginning to wake. I called her softly to show her this amazing experience.
She opened her eyes, looked at me at the end of the bed, then looked towards my
pillows and saw me asleep too. She screamed! At the moment I opened my eyes and
I was back in bed, sister screaming, parents now shouting her but I remembered
looking at myself.
I do not
believe in ghosts but this is something which I cannot explain. I would love to
hear of similar stories. We regularly talk about when we see each other and we
will never understand how or what we saw.
