Several years ago I had a paranormal experience. It took place at 6:20 am one Sunday morning. I felt a strange feeling in my bedroom. It was not as if someone was there, but more a feeling like I should get up and look at the clock and record the time. I did so. As I then sat there with my eyes closed, I became aware of my aunt's presence in my head. My Aunt Rosemarie lived in California.
I was not close with this aunt and I had not been thinking about her although I knew she was sick with cancer. I only met this aunt two times, once when I was very young at my grandfather's funeral, and once again a couple of years ago at my mom's home, where we met and talked about her crystals.
As I sat in my room, I was all of sudden not in my room, I was just in my head and in space. I had no connection to sitting on the bed, or being anywhere for that matter. I was then seeing a picture of my aunt in front of me, in my mind's eye. I recognized that she was confused and did not know where to go. Despite that, I felt wonderful. I felt peaceful, calm, tranquil; it was lovely. I felt energy touch my check. (This was the only time during the whole event that I was aware of my body.)
She talked to me but not in words. I just sensed her love, and what she was projecting to me. I believe she visited because she was confused and did not know where to go. Behind her I saw a light, a very tiny light that was somehow attached to a black tunnel that somewhat resembled a tornado lying down. I said to her "Go to the light, go to the light." She asked me if I wanted to come, and I said no. I saw the tunnel coming at her, and she went to it. It was then over.
I then became aware of the bedroom again and myself. My immediate action was to look at the clock again. It was 6:45am. I had been in that state for 25 minutes. It had felt like two minutes. I was left with a wonderful feeling of calm and peacefulness, which at the time was very unusual for me. I did not know what I had just experienced, but I felt very relaxed and went to sleep. (I had been awake the entire night, due to insomnia.)
The next morning when I awoke, my husband told me that my dad had called earlier, and he was sorry to inform me that my Aunt Rosemarie had passed away the night before. I knew right then and there what I had experienced. During the experience, I was not aware of any death issues, and I did not make the connection of the tunnel. I didn't know what I was experiencing. Uncomfortable with this, I became very frightened, I started to hyperventilate very hard and I cried. My husband could not understand what was going on. I have never checked the death certificate to see the exact time of her death. It would be nice to know for sure of the time.
There is a tunnel of light when we pass; I've seen someone else's.
