Psychic phenomena, Bigfoot, ghosts and spooklights

In 1984, Sharon of Oklahoma wrote me:

“I do indeed believe I am psychic. I have seen several ghosts, and always see auras of both people and inanimate objects. Mother and I had the usual agreement of contacting the other one after death. I think she tried to do that, and then just washed her hands of me. The morning after she died, I walked through her livingroom. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an elfin figure sitting high on a piece of furniture, waving its arms. I could not see it square on. My dad also saw this for days, and it frightened him.

Twice after that, I saw what looked like a still photograph of mother standing in one of her doorways. It didn’t move, and dispersed just like the Northern Lights do after a few seconds. The last vision wasn’t as clear as the first. Someone said that perhaps she wasn’t ‘strong enough’ to do anything else. I never felt her presence, though I have been in danger a few times. She was one of the many who felt that ‘Sharon could take care of herself.’

Mother was a Cherokee. She sensed something funny about the backyard one night. I think she arose without turning on any lights. There in the back yard was a man-like figure covered with long white hair. He knelt, and reached deep into the outside fish pond. Then he sensed mother looking. He was joined by another. Then they just disappeared. The next day the algae at bottom of the pond had deep scratches in it. Mother thought they took water lily samples. ...when I was 17, there was a local ‘spook light’. Most of the kids used that area for a lover’s lane. But I went down there every night, and tormented that light. It grew to know me. Finally I saw it as it really was. I started up an incline to a one lane bridge. Something as tall as my car (on end), with scaly wet skin (?) was ‘looking’ at me. It was as if it had 25 light bulbs hanging at random, and blinking at me. I thought it was time to leave. I was executing a turn about when my trusty car quit momentarily. An ordinary light followed me aways. Then faded out. Since mother had never seen me so frightened she suggested we take her car back down there after hearing what I’d seen. We did. We sat in the darkness awhile. Suddenly the world was illuminated in a large circle around us. We could feel the heat.

The heat generated by the light over mother’s car did not cause us to sweat, but we no longer needed our sweaters. It was pleasant warmth. Maybe that’s one way people are coerced into UFO abductions. I guess this lasted about three minutes.

It was 1965...I had a terrible car wreck. A girl died in an accident I had. She was the only one I could take with me and have the spooklight do its little dance, etc. It didn’t like the other kids. It liked people like myself who were loners. One night I had (her) with me, and the spooklight came up to the car, rested on one fender, and then the other front fender. At that time we could see it was three lights in one. ...She was slow-witted to a degree and terrified of it. A month later she was dead.”

The disturbing bridge incident, she added, happened only a few weeks after her friend’s passing.
