I say " I want my Mom" Jumping up and down with excitement, before she ever got a chance to say anything.. She looked over at my mother and said "your wanted at the door my dear".

My mother approached the door with an unpleasant look on her face, and said "What do you want?" I said in a hurried voice with as much excitement an 11 year old could muster up and blurted out " Mom Bonnie found a bat on Carmen's lawn she has it in the house. I was out of breath and panting, when my mother said, Sorry Nancy but I guess I better go see what the hell is going on over there..

I think the reason why my mother always sided with Bonnie when it came to her strange obsession with creatures is because she was once like how Bonnie is now.. She seemed to be just as excited as Bonnie was. On our walk down the street, my mother said something that sort of scared me and made my mind start thinking.. She said "Finding a bat just before Halloween ,this must be an omen"..

What's an Omen? Why did she look funny when she said it? I remembered that word from scary movies like Rosemary's baby and others, all I knew is it wasn't a good term used everyday

My mother was always saying things that scare me, she wasn't like other mothers I knew, she had certain physic powers of sort, she would always have dreams that came true and not to mention all the times I tried to lie to her and she would wake up the next day telling me what her dreams told her and how she knew I lied because of her dreams..
She had always been in the occults, her mother was likewise and raised all her children to believe in them too. My grandmother used to conduct seances with my mother and her twin sister present.. She used to scare me with her stories..

The most scariest story she ever told me was when she was sleeping one night after she was married and woke up all of the sudden and saw woman standing at the foot of her bed. The woman was dressed like someone from the Victorian era with a long empire dress on and her dark brown hair in a Gibson style bun on top of her head.. It scared my mother so bad that it went away.. The next morning she called her mother and told what happened and described the woman to (my grandmother) and she said "From the way you described her, I think you saw my Mother!" "She was probably trying to tell you something, so next time she comes to you don't be afraid, just listen to her and what she has to say, it must have been important!"..
This is something I never wanted to experience, never,
