Alexandrea’s Tale My little sister is a miracle baby, so when she finally arrived, it was a magical moment for my family. My stepmother had been trying to conceive through IVF for many years with disappointing results. Unfortunately, her father passed away at the same time my stepmother had decided that if she didn’t fall pregnant she was going to give up the whole idea. She felt that her father had passed over in order for the soul of my little sister to come into this world. One soul departs, one enters. Alexandrea is nearly three now and about six months my stepmother asked her when she was going to give a name to one of her dolls. “Connie” my little sister replies and my stepmother went a bit white. Connie is the name of our nana who died about ten years ago. My stepmother had never mentioned the name of our nana to my little sister, yet Alex wouldn’t have any other name. Our nana had died from a heart attack in the very room that my little sister occupies, so it doesn’t seem so strange that she has connected with our nana. It is nice to know that she is watching over her. Marie and her Friend Marie was a five year old and would ask her mother who the dark haired lady with red on her shirt was. The mother didn’t know who she was talking about as there was no one in the neighbourhood who matched the description the child was giving her. Strange things happened in the house that Marie and her family lived in. Things would go missing, doors would rattle and beds would shake in the middle of the night. Objects went missing, strange objects would appear mysteriously and then disappear just as quickly. Marie spent many mornings talking to her “invisible friend” and the mother would always find her daughter out the back yard pointing to a house in the distance. The mother decided to investigate the history of the house. What she discovered from the local council records was quite a shock. The mother had found out that the area their house was built, used to be a farmhouse for a local farmer and his daughter. The area Marie would point to was where on old barn was located and was primarily used for slaughtering cattle and pigs. The farmer’s daughter had been murdered in this barn and it was the daughter who Marie had been talking to. |
