Ghost Story #3
This event occurred more recently and was not met with appreciation. My 16 year old daughter and I recently joined a new gym for the amenities it has. A steam room is one of those amenities and who knew a steamroom would have dead people in it?? (There was another dead person in the steam room the next day, but that is another story).
I am the type of person who tends to embarrass herself. Sometimes, I trip over nothing, sometimes I fall or trip going up the stairs, and sometimes I walk into the wrong gender bathroom and/or locker room. It was a day that was filled with energy and a few things occurred that day that caught me off guard. Walking into the men's locker room caught me a bit off guard, however it made for some laughs from the men who saw me turn red and bolt out.
After, I made my way back to the women's locker room and I changed into a bathing suit for the steamroom, I was again caught off guard by a deceased man standing in the corner of the female steamroom. Quite honestly, it startled me...why is a man in the female locker room? Geesh.
As I sat there sweating in the steam, I looked over at the woman next to me and determined he was there for her. Again, resistance emerged, but I knew I needed to approach her. The energy was very strong. He was quiet and not talking, but I still needed to say something. A few minutes later, Bethany and I left the steamroom (after the lady did) to change. The woman happened to be in the same area as me. Right before she left I knew I needed to take the opportunity. I said, "excuse me, there is a deceased man with you. I don't know what he wants or who he is, but he is with you and knows you. He is tall." She said, "oh, I don't know anyone by that description." I said, "that is OK" and she left.
I asked why is it important for me to approach people who don't know who or what I am talking about? The answer was: who says they don't know what you are talking about? So, I asked, then why not just say so? The answer was: they don't want to deal with it. Which makes sense. How many of us have tried to tell someone something we think they may need to hear, and they deny it out of not wanting to deal with it?
I rarely see these people again. Rarely. But, three days later, I did. That morning, I had asked my guides, "please hit me upside the head when I need to listen and pay attention for this (talking to ghosts and people) purpose." A couple of hours later, I walked into the gym locker room (the correct one) and I saw the same lady in the same area I was going to put my stuff. I almost bolted to another area, and I told myself no, I won't hide. She recognized me, but did not say anything, just left the area quickly.
I went upstairs to the cardio room and was told to go look on the other side of the floor to see her at the treadmills. So, I did. She was there. I went to my usual spot opposite of her and way out of her viewing range. I was exercising on the elliptical and wondering if I should go over there. As in, be available to talk if she decides to. All of the sudden I feel a slap on my face. I was rubbing it wondering what happened, and remembered what I had asked my guides to do for me. So, I get off the elliptical and walk over. I get on the treadmill next to her. It is not working. She looks over at me and I can feel her energy of fear and some anger. I restart the treadmill and it works. I begin walking and within three minutes she gets off her treadmill and leaves. I finish for a few more minutes and leave as well. I hear....go over to the stretching area. So, I do. She is there as well. I begin to do some strength training and she leaves within seconds of my arrival. I finish my workout and change for the steam room.
I walk in and she is in the steamroom. She leaves within 30 seconds of my arrival. She carried so much fear and I knew she did not want to hear anymore than what I had already said the few days before. I left it alone. I may see her again, I may not. But I do know more opportunities will be presented for me to confront confront confront until it makes no difference to me in how the person responds to my approach.
