Excerpt from Dark Creepy Places 

The following excerpt is from Chapter One of my soon to be released third book, Dark Creepy Places! The books I write are based on the true life encounters that I have had while investigating the supernatural. 

Several years after I became involved in paranormal investigating, I met a lady who I can best describe as being a very remarkable psychic medium.  At the time, I had never met a psychic before, so I wasn't sure if legitimate clairvoyants existed. My uncertainty regarding the validity of psychics and their abilities changed the very first time that I met this lady. It was also during that meeting that she told me something that I have never forgot. She told me that by delving into the supernatural, I would open a door to the other side, and that by doing this, I would see and experience things so bizarre that I would not understand them. As it has turned out, the statement she made that day has been accurate many times over. The incident that you are about to read, is one such example of what I am referring to.

TIME SLIP...ASTRAL PROJECTION...DOPPELGÄNGERS...

Chapter One

Why I continue to investigate the Supernatural

There are so many strange and unexplained mysteries that are reported around the globe on a daily basis. Things so bizarre, that even if we read about them in a Stephen King novel, we would all shake our heads in disbelief and laugh. I had one such experience, in the spring of  2009, while in Arizona. I’m not sure if it was a timeslip , the doppelganger of another person, or what it was, that I witnessed that day!

If you remember the old TV series, The Twilight Zone, you'll remember host Rod Serling's great opening monologue, which is so fitting to what I am about to share with you. So much so, that I believe that I may of had my own experience with the  real "Twilight Zone!"

The opening monologue began; "You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension, a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone."- ROD SERLING

The story I am refering to began when my wife and I were in Arizona, to watch our son Cory, play baseball for his college team. We were in Chandler Arizona, and the incident I am about to describe, occurred on the morning that we were leaving to return home to Illinois. It was early, around 5:30 a.m.. I had just pulled into a very large gas station, with many kiosk and fuel pumps to fill up with gas. 

Pulling up to the island closest to the convenience store on the premisses, I parked on the right hand side of the kiosk. Stepping out of our vehicle, I pulled opened the door to the fuel compartment which was located on the rear drivers side of our SUV. I opened the door, and removed the gas cap, then placed the nozzle from the pump into the fuel tank. 

After doing this, I turned and pressed the appropriate buttons on the keypad for the fuel pump and started fueling my vehicle.  I noticed an older Cadillac pull up on the opposite side of the kiosk, and stop one pump ahead of the pump I was using.

So the Cadillac, was on the left side of the kiosk that I was parked by, but one pump further up.

I watched as the drivers door of the Cadillac swung open. I saw a very young,  attractive lady, who I estimate to be in her late twenties, step out of the car. She was thin, and very tall. Her hair was long, and beautiful. It was a shinny black in color. She had a golden complection and I surmised that she might be Native American. The girl now out of her car, swung the drivers side door closed. 

She caught my attention for two very good reasons. First, it was a very cool or what I would call cold morning for Arizona. I know the temperature was fifty-nine degrees, because I had checked the temperature on the dashboard of our vehicle just before I had exited it.

The lady was wearing a very skimpy denim two-piece bathing suit, which didn’t seem appropriate for the cool morning temperature.

The second and most obvious reason that I noticed the young lady, was that she was totally  gorgeous! 

After she slammed the door of the Cadillac shut, she hopped up on the kiosk, took one step, hopped down off of the kiosk, then jogged approximately fifteen yards into the convenience store. I watched the door of the convenience store close behind her. I distinctly remember watching her exit the vehicle, and the door of the vehicle slam shut, immediately after she exited it. That I am one-hundred percent sure of!

At this point, I turned around to checked the nozzle that I had placed in the fuel tank, to make sure that it was securely in the tank. This took maybe three or four seconds at the most. I turned back around, and as I did this, I noticed the drivers side door of the Cadillac swing open again, just like it had done moments before! I watched and saw the same young lady,  wearing the same skimpy denim two piece bathing suit, with a beautiful dark completion, long shinny black hair, step out of the car, swing the door closed again, hop up on the kiosk, take a step, hop down off the kiosk, then jog the fifteen yards into the convenience store. I again watched as the door to the convenience store close behind her. 

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Witnessing this, caused me to shake my head in disbelief. So I quickly finished pumping the gas, and hurried into the convenience store, to see if possibly the lady had a twin sister, who for some reason, may have exited the vehicle from the drivers side. 

I walked into the convenience store to pay for my fuel, but more importantly, to see if I could spot the lady and see if maybe she had a twin.  Wearing the skimpy outfit, she was easy to spot. I spotted her selecting some food items from the pastry isle, and she was alone. I made a point to walk around the store, looking for her possible identical twin, but there was no one else in the store that even remotely resembled the girl. I paid for my fuel, then returned to my vehicle.

When I got back in our vehicle,  I asked my wife if she had seen the girl that was in the Cadillac go into the store? Kathy immediately said that she did, and mentioned how she must be freezing in the outfit that she was wearing! I agreed, then asked her, how many times, she had seen the lady get out of the car and enter the store. “Once” she exclaimed! Then Kathy asked me why. I explained what I had seen, and Kathy again reiterated that she had only seen the lady go in once. 

We waited and watched as the lady walked out of the store, and when she did, she came out alone. As she pulled away from the station, I could see that she was the only person in the car!

So, what did I see, and was I suppose to see it?  Were the stranger and I some how spiritually or supernaturally connected to the point, that I knew what she was going to do, before she did it? Was there a time slip, that I somehow, became entangled in? Was it her spirit, her doppelganger, or somehting else that I saw?

The incident, didn’t seem to be the classic case of Deja vu in which, a person, has the strong sensation that an event or experience taking place,  has been experienced before. No matter, if it has actually happened or not. But the event I had just witnessed, took place, two times in a matter of moments!

Did I possibly catch the proverbial fork in the road of this ladies free will and perhaps see her alternate life manifest into the physical? If that was the case, did I see, or actually not see, the alternative choice, turn into a parallel reality. 

Did one of the dark haired ladies, vanish into another reality, or rejoin, her original self undetected by me? Those are the biggest questions that I have had, since I witnessed the event in 2009!

If this was a case of witnessing a doppelganger, where did either the first, or second person that I witnessed go? When I went inside the convenience store, which lady did I see, the first one, or the second one?

So after thirteen years of investigating the strangeness that the supernatural has to offer, my journey to uncover and explain these mysteries continues!  Exploring the unexplained, leaves me feeling like Christopher Columbus, who set out to explore and find a new territory, but wasn’t sure where he would end up!
