My story took place several weeks after witnessing a fatal car vs bike accident. I was in second grade. The year would have been 1969. Location, right in front of my house in Pembroke Pines, FL.
Howard was a neighbor kid, he had been hit by a car. His handlebars impaled his abdomen. The police were called numerous times by numerous neighbors. In 1969 there was not an emergency number like 911 to call. What happened that day was truly a tragedy. An ambulance finally arrived more than an hour after the accident, it was too late for Howard. He bled out long before the ambulance came.
Several weeks, maybe months, had passed. I was sleeping with my little brother. Sometime after midnight I suddenly awoke. There were two people standing at the foot of my bed. I thought it was my older sisters but when I called out to them they didn't answer.
I ran across the room and woke my little brother. I was trying to show him the two people at the foot of my bed, but he said he could not see them.
For whatever reason I walked up to them, one was small like me, the other was much taller. That is when I realized they had no feet nor faces. They were wearing white robes. The robes were hooded, appeared to be linen and had pleats that were crisp and perfect.
When I finally realized they weren't family I became frightened. I didn't know what to do, I was standing inches from them. Suddenly I started spouting, "In the name and power of Jesus Christ I demand you to leave". I repeated it twice, they floated out of my room through a wall.
I went back to my brother who by this point must have thought that I was nuts. I convinced him that I must have been having a bad dream and we should just go back to sleep.
A short time later I woke once again to the same two beings at the foot of my bed. I woke my brother again, then chased them away again. Exactly the same way as the first time. I really wish that I wasn't so frightened. I wish I knew why they came to me.
Several years later I found out that the woman that hit Howard with the car committed suicide shortly after the accident. I wonder if she and Howard were the ones that came to visit? Really weird.
