Strange, Weird but True!

A strange encounter!

By Alexander HowardPublished 5 years ago 5 min read

It was early spring in the year of our lord 1999. LOL sorry I just love that intro! This experience happened some time ago. I was on assignment for the military in South Korea. It was a Friday like all other Fridays. PT in the morning or "physical training" for you civilians. A quick 3 mile run some calisthenics and hit the showers to make it to chow before heading out to the worksite.

After chow, I met up with a buddy so we can walk to the worksite together and go over our plans for the Friday night ahead. I noticed right off the bat that my psychic mind was super active this day. I have had days like this before and they can be both exciting, as well as, demanding at the same time.

So before going on, allow me to explain my psychic mind and clear up some things. This is not something I do for the military rather something I have always grown up with. This comes from my mother and her mother's side. My mother had known that both of her brothers were going to die, as well as her second husband. She also knew when a deceased relative was around or visiting us from the other side. She knew this by the smell of flowers. And yes, I am talking about ghosts!

However, when it comes to what I can do, it is not anything like my moms. First and my simpliste ability, I can see patterns and “psychically know” what will happen. Not what will come, like as a prophecy. No not like that at all. It's very simple, imagine a deck of cards, you draw one. I can see beforehand if the card will be a number card, face card and usually the color. I am not professionally trained to be able to tell you which number or face card. Or as in the Star Wars Movie where little Anakin Skywalker was telling the Jedi Council what the Hologram was to determine if he had Jedi abilities. That would be an advanced level for me. So as I said, I can see patterns and what is going to happen.

For the patterns it's even more simple. Let's say you have a question that has been stuck in your mind or you are trying to make a decision on something very important. I would see the patterns of the day and signs. From this I would be able to tell you this is the direction for you to explore but it will be your choice to make it, kinda like a Gypsy fortune teller, LOL.

Where do I excel in my ability? I would say or most would call them a Psychic Medium. I can hear the dead, can't see them but I can hear them. Hear when they are near or around us living. This does include the spirit guides, and if you prefer, Angels and Demons too. Here a question, what's worse? Seeing a Demon or only being able to hear one?

The best way to describe this is to imagine you hear your parents in the next room but with the door closed. Still even with the door closed you can make out most of what they are saying and doing but not as clearly as if the door was open and not yelling at each other. If they, meaning spirits, want to speak to me. I will hear them with clarity.

Moving on, we finished the day and were secured for the weekend or released. I was one of the last to leave work as I was a hire rank and in charge of my squad. All my buddies had already headed to the Barracks and had gotten ready for the night and were heading out into town. I told them to not wait for me. I would meet them later at the bar called "Whiskey A Go Go's."

I made my way out into town and decided to take a short cut to the bar. I headed down this alley way. I immediately saw this child. He looked like he was going through the garbage for something to eat. I have always had a soft spot for the hungry and I would usually give money to the poor kids. So I walked towards where the kids was and called to him "eolin sonyeon!" Which translates as "little boy!" I reached into my pocket and pulled out some coins and the noise of my pocket change had got the attention of the little boy, or what I thought was a little boy.

It was dark already and the only light was from the light poll. Part of the light was shining down on only half of the trash cans. So part of this little boy, well I can't call him a little boy any longer, the creature was visible and the other half no. I drew closer to the creature and could see that he did resemble a boy from it's head but had fur on its upper back from the neck down to mid back. Kind of like a dog but as you continue to look lower. His bottom half was with no fur or hair and looked human.

Then, I looked at it's legs and they too were shaped as an animal's hind legs. With feet like ours but longer to accommodate the bend of the hind legs. The creature's eyes just stared at me, and I can sense fear in him and that it wants to run away. I changed my approach to a more careful way like approaching a stray dog. It's eyes were black like an animal. I'm now literally standing like 5 feet away from it. Then I sensed that it thought I was going to feed it. Like if the locals do it all the time.

It turned and ran off. Not on four legs but rather two like a werewolf. I stayed in place for several minutes just thinking about what it was that I had seen. Could this have been a youngling werewolf? Could this have been an experiment gone wrong or simply a deformed child? My ego started to come up with logical explanations but my psychic mind knew this was a creature from a different realm. A creature from the Underworld that can move in between worlds.

Many people swear they see Vampires, werewolves and many other mythical creatures. I know many of them are real. Since then I've seen many creatures and beings. I am eager to write about them so others know that they are not alone in what they experience. They are here, they are real and it is a strange world. Don't be afraid of them because many of them feed on fear but always be cautious and ready to either run or defend yourself. Most of all be open minded cause not all are bad some are friendly and just want to say hello.
