SLA Junior Seminar 6: Tales of te supernatural

But he hadn't forgotten the feeling that he was out of his body. (p.58)

     When you hear the word 'supernatural,' what comes to your mind? Something thrilling or terrible? In my case, I am afraid of another me like doppelganger because I maybe lose myself and get fainted... In this book, supernatural means being beyond scientific understanding related to ghost. As you have seen it on TV program, it has also the feelings and intention like we do, therefore it plays a trick to us in a mean way, sometimes in a good way. Today, I will talk about a man who have experienced that he is almost dying on a operation table in a hospital.

     He sees that he is lying on a operation table and a doctor and nurses being busy recovering his heart. He is aware of being in danger of the death... Yes. He is seeing another him who are taking heart operation. Hopefully, it goes well and he opens his eyes on his bedroom, and sees a nurse smiling to him like his mother. He dislikes her maternal smile terribly because his mother tries to kill when she is alive, which gives him trauma for good. He talks about his experience that he have done in a operation room to the nurse. Then, she tells that such a strange experience is not unusual for people trying to come back from death. As she expounds longer and longer, her face is changing to other thing like a monster... What does she want to do to him?

     

      This book has more six stories. Each character has various backgrounds and connections with the ghost. Not all the same with your experience, but if you have a supernatural story, tell me how you encounter hair-raising thing in the comment box.
