0:00 The lights were off and I felt something like a presence in the room and I heard audibly in my ear like it said my name audibly and I said what the hell was that and I jumped and I jumped up and I turned on my light. There's nothing in the room but I knew what I heard. Like I was awake. It was I wasn't in a dream state. I was looking around my room and I heard something say my name in a in the most eerie way. I could still hear it. I didn't tell anybody that. Then what happened was I started dating this this one woman. I overheard her like shouting to something like, "Stop it." And I was like, "What happened?" So she finally like admitted that she's been hearing voices since she was a young girl. But after she said that to me, she said, "Before you go to bed, you need to pray because they know you're not a Christian and you're easier to attack." Now, I had never told her what happened. and she felt the need to tell me that and I I had already moved somewhere else at that point. I was renting a room somewhere. I felt uneasy at night. Like I felt like I it's hard to explain.

And I did that for like 2 weeks and I felt so much at more at peace like I wasn't being like watched or something like that. And I was like something's here. And then my grand aunt was like my grandmother. She meant a lot to me. I found out she was coming out of hospice and she was going home and they were like, "She's going to go any any minute." So I drove all the way to Massachusetts. She was sedated all day and then she finally woke up and she was just screaming. She was just in pain.

The day of her funeral, I drive up to Massachusetts, trying not to cry in front of everybody. I'm telling myself, you know, as soon as this is over, I'm just going to go home. Like, I'm just going to mourn by myself, like just be all depressed.
2:02 And we drive to the grave site and now it's time. And I'm like, "Oh man, I'm about to it's going to all come out now." And I walk over, I put my hand on the casket, and I immediately felt a sense of peace and I knew that she was fine. Like, it was just boom. And I said, "What was that?" What I believe now and have an understanding is that that was the Holy Spirit blessing me and giving me truth. And he let me know that um she was fine. It's so difficult to talk about.
