My ‘Out-of-this-World’ Experience No. 18

Have you ever had experience a phenomenon that cannot be explained no matter how you tried to understand it?  Are you familiar with the phrase ‘beyond one’s imagination or understanding’?  If you have this some sort of experience that makes you feel that hair-raising/eerie or déjà vu feeling, please share through email message to merlinagp@gmail.com.  It is my pleasure to post your experience in this Blog.  Let the circle of sharing begins.

Experience No. 18: 
“The Old Man”
(Shared by Mark Ray De Vera <deveramarkray@gmail.com>)

From the neighboring house, I can hear voices.  Laughing of some adults and teenagers, and screaming of children attracted attention to those who live nearby.  Oh, I almost forgot! It was Sunday afternoon --- just another ordinary weekend in that house.  From being a peaceful place then, the house turned into a center for amusement among these people in the neighborhood.  From just a pastime, playing of cards has been a habit among them every weekend.  If my memory serves me right, this kind of happenings started when the head of the family of that house died back then. 
It’s laid-back time, I’m free, and so I joined them.  As I entered the house I saw three groups of crowd.  Some adults and teenagers playing cards on the side, a group of children playing, cluttering, and running around, and another group of some teenagers at the balcony having conversation.  I joined the third group. 
From my vantage point, I saw one of the card players who gave his cellphone to his son.  He told his boy to just stay aside, play the phone, and don’t interrupt him so that he can focus on the game.  The boy returned to his friends and took photos using the phone.  The children took photos in almost every corner of the house.   As they review the photos, there was that one photo that caught their attention.  
While wondering, the boy returned to his father and showed the picture up. As everyone looking at the phone, I came closer to the group so I can see the picture too.  Oh, aside from the image of the boy, another image of an old man appeared at the background, peeping on the window, and looking at us.  Even though it is filtered by a negative effect, the image behind the boy is transpicuous.  As the father stares at the picture, only one image was created on his mind and it’s the old man who owns the house (as he uttered).  He was bit scared after seeing the picture.  The other players including us (as audience or “meron”) were horrified on what we saw on the picture.  Do you know why?  It’s because the man he was referring to has been already dead for 3 months.
To lighten up the situation, someone said that maybe it was just the reflection of the light or something, which is outside of the window.  To make sure of what we thought, we showed the picture to the son of the person on the picture.  He confirmed that the image on the picture was his father who had just died for about 3 months already that time. 
While still frightened, we assumed that the image on the picture is reminding or asking us to stop the kind of stuff that are happening on his house and bring it back to what it was before.  Somewhat unusual, right? .... Impossible but it happened to me!
