Never seen a ghost...except on Ghost Adventures..that show really draws me in
I do have some really strange and hard to explain stories...skip these if you're looking for ghosts.
My mom/dad used to own a shrimp boat here in FL. I'm the youngest kid and so my brothers/sisters had moved out and basically nobody to take care of baby besides mom/dad....so they used to keep me on the shrimp boat while I was really young.
My dad used to let me fish from the docks and do whatever around the docks while he worked on repairing the boat, nets, etc.
Remember those little arm-floaties that kids use for the pool? Those were my parent's way of keeping me safe around the docks...
One day I was walking around the docks and I slipped in the water. I stayed floating thanks to my arm-floaties--but I was floating upside down. I remember seeing everything clearly and being able to breathe under water. I wasn't panicing at all. It felt like I was under there forever and I saw a wrecked ship which I have no memory of ever seeing before that incident. I'm not sure how long I was like that, but my dad finally realized that I wasn't on the dock and pulled me out of the water--he was paniced. He said he heard me thrashing but I don't remember the need to thrash.

There was another time when I remember climbing this huge tree in the yard. It was a really large evergreen and the branches were perfect for climbing.
I remember playing in the yard and then going to that tree and climbing to the top. I got to one branch which snapped under my weight and I remember falling straight down. I remember that as I was falling I was spinning and when I hit the bottom I woke up....I woke up in my mom/dads bed and my dad was laying there and looked at me..he said "are you alright?" I was confused because I never slept in my mom/dads bed.

Recently my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. I went to the hospital during one visit and the doctor came in and talked to me, my mom, and my wife. He asked my mom if she would mind if he spoke to all of us. He told us that my mom had about 2 to 4 months to live. My mom was really broken up because that was the first she had heard of that news. She kept getting worse and they had to drain fluid from her lungs about every week and it was more and more each time.
One of my customers got into a conversation with me about cancer. I told her that my mom had cancer and that they don't give her much longer to live. She told me she'd pray for my mom and to let her know that she would pray for her.
I told my mom that a customer of mine was going to pray for her. I also prayed.
They recently came out with some new cancer treatment and my mom received it. She doesn't tell me exactly how much is left, but she tells me that it's much better and they think they've got it in recession(is that the word?) It's been a while since her "4 months to live" so we're all continuing to pray for the best.
