This story happened a few years ago but it is just as clear to me as if it had happened today.

In the middle of a summer night I was awakened by some force which once I opened my eyes looked like four to five hovering dark, black hovering figures of energy that were directly above my body and putting extreme pressure on my chest as if it were crushing me, which made me gasp for air and squirm in the bed.

The first thought that came to me was that for some reason these figures represented the Angels of Death or the Spirit of Death, neither of which had I any clue of what was happening or what this meant. Since I was extremely frightened by this and could not breathe due to the pressure being exerted on my chest by this hovering dark figures, I started to squirm like a fish on the bed and my girlfriend who had been sleeping was awakened by my movements and the instance that she awoke the hovering ghostly figures disappeared immediately.

My girlfriend touched me and said that my body felt quit cold and I was shivering. She asked me what had happened to me as I looked shaken to her and I told her that the only thing I could say was that I had just seen the Angels or Spirits of Death and it seemed like they were trying to hurt me in some way. I was glad she woke up.

The next day I got a call from by best friend's brother in law and he told me some bad news, that Greg, my best friend had died last night in a fiery Naval plane crash that he was piloting for the Navy in a training session. It dawned on me that Greg must have been thinking of me at the time of his death and somehow the spirits around him linked up with me somehow. We were very close as friend.

The next night as I was sleeping alone, I was awakened by something and I looked over at the door entrance to my bedroom and I saw a hazy figure walking through the entrance and stand next to my bedside and all I could do was respond like a wild animal and actually growl at the figure in absolute terror. I had never experienced the animal part of me and I growled at the figure like a tiger with my hands extended like paws and tried to claw at the figure and growled like a frightened tiger. As I growled at the figure in the night the figure immediately disappeared and as it disappeared and as I calmed a little seeing it disappear I noticed the face of my friend Greg, and at that moment the terror at left me and I asked for my friend to come back that I thought I could handle his form now.

My friend did not return. At his funeral however as I sat in the back of the church his spirit showed up in the front of the church and I saw his face fill the entire front of the church where the closed casket was sitting and there was a huge smile on his face and he spoke to me inside and said not to worry about him, that he was extremely happy where he was now. I felt a lot better and I am glad my friend as an angel or spirit visited there in that church that day.

My view of death was changed and I do not fear it as I once did. Thank you Greg wherever you are. I miss our friendship. Hope to see you someday.

By the way, an interesting note that I found out later from a Chinese friend of mine. He told me that my animal associated with me on the Chinese zodiac for my birthday of April 1, 1950 is the Tiger.

Interesting huh?
