Many times, we have heard stories... maybe real, maybe fake, about people who died and travelled to the underworld, whether heaven or hell, and then somehow returned to earth. Different parts of the world have different beliefs about what happens to a man when he dies. While some people believe that when a man dies, that is the end of his life and nothing matters again, others believe that when a man dies, he immediately travels to the underworld to be judged, either to enter hellfire or heaven.
Furthermore, witchcraft and supernatural activities give me a lot to think about. Are the supernatural facts about witchcraft real? I learned that witches and wizards can travel at night for meetings while their physical bodies remain lifeless at that moment. This is not a mere dream while sleeping. How true is this?
What about ghosts that roam around in a world that is not known to humans? I mean they live in areas they're not known. Is that really real? How do they come about having a physical appearance when ghosts (spirits) are believed not to have the ability to feel anything physically or touch any physical object? You know, a lot of movies and stories have said many things about this ghostly lifestyle, but sometimes I feel they are all made-up stories.
This is why I have been longing to meet a real ghost. I want to travel to the underworld, both heaven and hell, while still alive (not dead, please 🥺). I am just too curious to know the answers to my questions.
I have written about this many times, and I have friends who get jittery and confused by my level of curiosity about these things.
There was a mysterious occurrence in our compound many years ago when we were still living in the village. A lady in her 20s was kÃllèd by her boyfriend. The family of the lady lived in the next compound, and they usually came to our house every night to watch TV. On that sad night, we were watching TV as usual, with the girl seated among us. Just a few seconds before the alarm or cry was raised in their compound, the lady stood up and left the parlour as if she wanted to ease herself.
So when it was announced that the lady was dead, we all looked around the parlour, expecting to see her seated with us because she had been watching TV with us. But she was nowhere to be found.
"You mean someone that just left to urinate in the backyard?" my mom asked in doubt.
We went to the backyard to check if she was there, but no, she was not. According to her parents, the lady had been kīlléd some hours earlier, before they discovered it and raised the alarm.
Did you understand the mystery? She was kïllëd, yet her spirit stayed with us and left only when it noticed that her death was about to be announced. Isn’t that crazy to comprehend?
For me, it was believable, though I still have a little doubt. I want to know how these supernatural things work. No, I do not want to die to find out. I want to meet a supernatural being, a ghost, a harmless one. 😆
Thanks for reading.
