Safe Ride Home

I had been living in Santa Barbara back in 1993 when I found myself suddenly unemployed. After several months without luck finding a job, I started going to the local Temp Agencies for work. One by one they turned me down, telling me that, with my Engineering degree, they weren't going to be able to place me because I was "overqualified" for anything they had to offer. So, out of the 7 Temp Agencies in town, the first 6 had turned me away, without even taking my resume! However, the 7th place not only took me in, they actually gave me a job and I found out later that this last place was run by two ladies who both had strong psychic abilities and many of their workers also had psychic abilities.

So, anyway, at the job they got me, I became friends with this one girl (who also worked with them) who was a strong psychic. She would tell me what I had for breakfast that day or what I would find in my mail when I got home, stuff like that - it was kinda freaky! I was really into using a Ouija board at that time (and have since learned why one should never do that...) and that was this girl's main practice, so we would get together all the time and use her Ouija board, which she had had specially made...it was round and made of wood and elaborately decorated. It was actually very nice, as a piece of art.

Well, this girl's background story was that - in every incarnation she had been through - she had always ended up being killed by this evil spirit who was jealous of her relationship with her "soul mate". Apparently, also, she had always been killed with the same jeweled dagger. So, in this incarnation, she said she had identified her "soulmate" and the "evil spirit" (whom happened to be married to each other this time around) and she had a photograph of them, with this woman having a jeweled dagger stuck in her belt, as some kind of "decoration" perhaps. Anyway - so take this part of the story as you will...

So, we were doing the board one night and were talking with her "Guardian Angel". Suddenly, an evil spirit took over the board and started swearing at us and threatening us, so we decided to send it away and call it a night. At this point, it was about 2 in the morning. We were discussing what had just happened, and, I mentioned to my friend that I would try to help her in anyway I could spiritually, to save her from her repeating "fate". She thanked me and I gathered my things and left.

I was about 10 steps outside her door when suddenly, someone screamed in my ear! It was almost like someone ran past me, screaming at me, because the volume was very low then very loud then very low again. I spun around, but, of course, no one was there. My friend lived in an apartment complex, but, being 2 in the morning, all was quiet around. I was scared and went back to my friend's place. I thought I knew what I had heard, but we brought out the board again and called for her Guardian Angel to confirm it.

What I had heard was...."Don't help her, you jerk!"

So now, I am scared out of my wits thinking her evil spirit is now after me! It took awhile to calm me down and my friend said that she would ask her Guardian Angel to accompany me home, to make sure I was safe. I kinda "poo-pooed" that in my mind, thinking that wasn't possible, but agreed. So, I get in my car and start driving home.

Several minutes later, when I was on the freeway of all places... what should happen but... suddenly a man (her Guardian Angel I assume) appeared sitting in the passenger seat of my car! Solid as you or I! He was about 35, blonde hair, wearing a red plaid shirt and blue jeans. His body was turned towards mine and he smiled at me and waved and then disappeared! I thought to myself, "Huh! Waddaya know! He *did* follow me home! That's cool!".

Then, when I got back to my apartment and parked my car, this man appeared again, solid as before, sitting crosslegged on the hood of my car, again smiling and waving at me. Then, the next morning, as I was taking a shower, suddenly two eyeballs appeared in the wall of my shower and looked around, then disappeared. That freaked me out the most, but only because I was naked at the time in the shower! I assumed the eyeballs belonged to this Guardian Angel.

So, nothing bad happened to me in regards to the "evil spirit" and I never saw the Red Plaid man again. Many people ask me, "Weren't you scared when he showed up in your car, when you were going 70 mph?" and I say, no, actually, a sense of peace and calm came over me each time he appeared and I knew that I was safe with him. It was a very interesting experience.
