Ghost stories

Stop the killing in America....

Seeing a man hung from an old Oak Tree brought back memories as tears streamed from my eyes. LC was a young Black child brought up in the 50's. He recalled such discrimination and hatred against people of color, as he used his handkerchief to wipe away tears. He said ''When is this going to stop?''

Let's listen to LC views in the video below.

"I pray that we can stop the violence amongst our own race by showing love and respect for each other and build up our communities not destroying them."

 LC said, "Today I'm still reminded of the horrific treatment on people of color as I watch a Black man's life taken from him in plain view and many others gunned down by those that are supposed to be protecting us. The saddest thing I know right here, right now. People of color are killing each other everyday. Wake up my young brothers and sisters, this is exactly what they want."

Untold Secret....

 Regina was walking holding her fiance's hand on this cloudy day when suddenly hailstones as big as a golf ball started pounding their bodies, damaging  roofs, cars, and houses. Joseph insisted they find shelter quickly. He said  " This is dangerous, multiple car alarms triggered and people are scrambling for safety and we have no phone service ".

Hiding underneath a highway overpass, Regina discovered that Joseph was bleeding from a cut above his eyebrow. Clinching to her hand tight, she knew he was afraid.He stated " I have never seen anything  like this before, hailstones  as big as a golf ball''. As Joseph was speaking Regina flashed  back to a horrific incident that happened to her two years ago but didn't feel comfortable talking about it."

Joseph  motioned to Regina to tell her story as they were waiting for the storm to pass over. Regina  suddenly turned  her  back to him recalling the horrific nightmare she encountered on her twenty first birthday as she walked home alone from a late night of work. She started....

''Debbie and I normally work the night shift at Brewsters Bar and Grill. We were best friends and lived in a small apartment with shared expenses but on this particular night Debbie was sick and stayed home. The night was great with old time customers that lavished out nice tips. I had made enough money that night compared to a week salary. Elated with my good fortune, I had two drinks before I left early that morning. Strolling down New Amsterdam  Lane  at 5:00 am, playing a sweet melody in my mind I felt I was on top of the world. Then out of nowhere a shadow was upon me.

''A masked man suddenly appeared out from nowhere and pulled me in a alley. I began to struggle , begging and screaming for my life . He struck my right cheek with all his might and wrestled me to the ground. He launch on top of me , I continued to struggle with the masked man as he was tearing my clothing from my body. Daring me to cry out for help . He held a knife to my throat . Stop!Stop!!  I insisted but no response. As his hands glided up and down my middle thighs, I felt his forefingers in my private area . Pleading and crying to the masked man , he struck me again and said " I know you want this . I see you come to this bar every night teasing with all the men, now you are  mine.

''I screamed out for help as he continued to punch me in the face, knocked me nearly unconscious and robbed me of my good fortune.  Lying naked on this cold ground . He then fondled my nipples with his tongue as he penetrated my womanhood, Laying there daze and confused. I couldn't continue to fight any longer and must have passed out. When I woke and looked around wondering whether it was a bad dream. I saw my clothes torn from my body.

''Traumatized by this unholy act running out into the streets half naked looking for anyone for  help. A police officer came to assist me and took me to the hospital. They later got a report after I had settled down . 
''I told Joseph 'I really thought I had put this behind me , but I still see it so vividly as though it just happened'.

Joseph pulled me close and kissed my forehead . He said " We both will go through therapy together and I'm so proud of you that you were able to share this with me. I will always be there for you and protect you always."  Regina gave a sigh of relief , she has never told anyone about what had happened to her that night , not even her best friend. She said " I never wanted to shame my family or friends if this were to be broadcast in the news. I felt that people would look at me differently and whisper . 'Isn't that the girl who was raped?'.

Both Regina and Joseph had weathered the storm and went on to get Therapy. They got  married and had three children. The only thing Regina said to Joseph is " She knew there were other women who are victims out here and hope that they will come forward and seek help. It's not easy keeping a traumatic secret in one's life", as Joseph wiped tears from her eyes.

To all my family and friends > visit Ronnie Art of Living and look forward to new materials this coming week. Please be safe and practice social distancing, always wear your face mask for protection and wash your hands constantly. See you soon

The unborn....

Jim went home and searched the house frantically, looking for any signs of forced entry or foul play involved when he stumbled on  a pentagon symbol underneath their bed. "What is the meaning of this ?".He dialed up an old friend Dedra who is a psychic to come over. When she alighted from her car, she noticed someone peeping out from  the second floor window , while Jim was beckoning her to come inside from the front porch.

Dedra knew that something evil was in the house and hesitated going in. She never felt an unholy presence like she felt that night.  She  asked " Are you here alone ? I saw someone upstair looking down at me ",Jim responded  " I'm alone, I thought I had informed you that Jamie was in the hospital".  She said," I'm so sorry to hear that. ''How is she ?''. Jim's mouth was porched as he mumbled the words" our baby may be in jeopardy."

Falling down a flight of steps, Jamie hit her head against the wall.  She laid unconscious until her fiance arrived later that evening. When Jim entered the front room he was shocked to see his soon -to -be wife laying at the end of the stairway,he called 911  for help,  then rushed over to hold her as he thought whether their unborn child was still alive in her womb.

The two lovebirds -Jim and Jamie had planned to marry before the baby arrived. They had just moved into a brand new house in the suburbs. Jim wondered how this tragedy happened . The sound of the ambulance pulling up at the  front door made him screamed out . "Please help her , she is pregnant" as the paramedics took vital signs and prepared to escort Jamie to the hospital. 

Jim rode along in the back of the ambulance trying to hold back his tears, this will be his first child and he didn't want to lose either of them. He asked one of the paramedics " Is she going to be okay ?." 
He replied " Her vital signs are stable and no signs of bleeding. We must have her thoroughly checked out at the hospital." Still unresponsive Dr. Micheal ordered a series of test to be performed on her along with and ultra sound of the fetus.

Dr. Micheal informed him that Jamie will have to be admitted for  a few days and advised him  to  go home  and get some rest. Being exhausted from work and mentally drained from constant thought about what could have happened, he decided to go home to relax  before returning in the morning.

As Jim and Dedra walked upstairs to show his master bedroom, a door slammed downstairs, immediately Jim ran to the first floor as Dedra followed. Lights where flicking on and off and suddenly the room became as cold as ice. Dedra shivering said " there is an evil presence in this house . We must leave this house at once ."

Jim refused but stated " I don't believe in ghost or any evil spirit, it's someone that's trying to scare us, but Dedra knew better. As she wanted to leave the house, something grabbed her from behind and slammed her  to the wall, she  screamed  to Jim for help. 

She saw a child in the doorway whose feet were slightly elevated from the floor with a butcher's knife in her hand  with the  teeth like a gator and  fiery eyes  like the devil. ''Run Jim'', Dedra cried, as he  pulled her up from the floor. The two of them ran back upstairs to the master bedroom and locked the door."How do we get out of here?'', Dedra asked. 

Jim tried to break the window in order to escape but was unable to. It was like someone had  played a trick on him by using shatter proof glass. Dedra had never been afraid of anything like this in her life until this night. As she saw the walls etched in blood that reads You will die here, she knew it was their last day in this haunted house.


  Suddenly the bed slid across the room as they watched the Pentagon turn slowly in alignment with it's inscribed markings. 
 Jim held Dedra's  hand tight looking at the horrific figure of the little girl drawing near with the knife.  "What do you want from us?", Jim asked. While dragging the knife over the walls in the room.


   Two more clicks and the gates of Hell would have opened. 
Still standing outside looking up at the second story window Dedra called out to Jim . She said , "Step down off the porch and walk slowly towards me. We need to leave right now from this place. Cut all ties from everyone and never look back'' .
She had never had a vision of this type of evil that Jamie possessed.

How I met my father after 20 years- Lora

Dr.  Williams asked his student Jerome "how is your  science project progressing after teaming up with Lora one of the brightest students in his class?'',  he replied " this project is a very difficult one Sir, Lora and I are having concern finding financial help and volunteers for our research but we are doing our best". Dr. Williams stated  " continue your work, I have faith in both of you ". as he turned to leave the classroom.

 Once class had ended, Lora and Jerome rushed to grab a bite to eat before they started to work on their school project  hidden in the lower part of the school basement. The multitude of tests being done had drained all their financial resources. They had no one else to turn to until Jerome said " Please ask your mother Lora , she has millions , maybe she will loan you at least one hundred thousands dollars." Lora stood in the doorway looking at Jerome . She knew her mother wasn't going to lend her the money. She had bailed her out of so many unfortunate circumstances.

But on this particular night Lora got  the courage to ask her mom Mary to support her with her project and by surprise she said yes , and Lora ran  over to hug her mom. Lora had the biggest smile on her face. She said " Mom I love you , I never thought you would lend me one hundred thousand dollars."
Mary's throat tightened up as she swallowed hard before she spoke…. "One Hundred thousand dollars?.I thought  you only needed a few hundred dollars'', as her mom throat felt parched , ''I need to pour myself a drink" Mary said.


   Lora was the only child Mary had and was willing to do anything for her , but she didn't know how to bring herself to tell her daughter that they were broke and she had been selling off  some of her jewelries to keep things afloat. Looking into her daughter's tearful  eyes she promised  Lora that she would give her the money.

Being ecstatic Lora couldn't wait to inform Jerome of the good news, They met at a coffee shop to discuss their next plan of action which included surgical instruments, Laptops , Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and Volunteers for their project. It was 3:00 am when they left the coffee shop and stumbled on an  old homeless man named Larry. Jerome asked the man to be  part of his study group and he would pay for his services. Larry agreed but only on one condition " I want my money first young man'',as he turned his alcoholic beverage up to his mouth to drink." Lora was stunned and  told Jerome that Larry wasn't the right man for there experiment.


After sneaking into the Lab after hours. The place brought back memories for Larry. He too was a Professor at this University of Medicine but became homeless after losing his son and wife in a car accident. Lora and Jerome  informed him that they are "working on creating a rapid skin growth for second to third degree burn victims with escalating healing and non detectable skin grafts. and they needed some tissue samples from his upper back and inner thigh areas"


When Jerome was preparing the room for Larry he was still thanking Lora for her mother's contribution. When Larry heard her name , he looked at Lora and wondered  she could  be his daughter. He then called Lora over to assist him with shaving his legs . He asked  " what is your mother's full name and how old are you ?''. Not giving it a thought she told him, grabbing her hand and pulled  her up to his eye level he called " my baby girl Lora " Her heart started beating rapidly and she broke out into a deep sweat. She said slowly ''D-a-d-d-y''... Larry had left  Lora's mom and her when she was only seven years' old and never heard from him again.

Jerome rushed over from preparing his laptop to show charts and graphs of the data needed to support their project when Lora sobbed... She stated " I thought you were dead , all of those days I stood in the doorway looking for you to come back and you never did". He said " I was a married man when me and your mom conceived you. I couldn't stay ,and after I lost my wife and son . I had no reason to live any longer  I'm so sorry for not trying to contact you ."



Larry realized that if they succeed in their project , they will save millions of people for being scared for life over their body from second to third degree burns. He decided to assist them in their project .After two years of supported data along with Volunteers they  became World renowned  scientists with great respect and wealth all over the world. Lora's father advised  his daughter and now son-in -law   "Never Give Up On Your Dream!".

A Leap of Faith....

Julia jumped off the side off a cliff, this was her first time hand gliding alone. She had been on so many trips with her husband Kevin trying to help her get the hang of it , when one of her best friends Donna video the whole thing to show to her family and friends. Soaring high in the sky she remember this special moment looking out beyond the horizon.

Donna her best friend narrated on when Julia first started hand gliding by capturing her saying this in a video.

Panic and fear set in when Julia first started, watching others falling suddenly at taking -off or  crashing when landing. What was the enjoyment of this sport she thought, but Kevin would gently ease her fears by saying " You can do this , I'm right by your side, I won't let anything happen to you."

Happily in love both Kevin and Julia remembered when they first met and how he proposed to her in Las Vegas where they had the time of their lives. She was there with some of her friends gambling , drinking and just having fun when Kevin spotted her leant over throwing dice on the table calling for seven or eleven. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He knew she was his life and the woman of his dream.

As he approached the crap table, Julia blew on the dice and her eyes locked with Kevin. A long pause took place as they starred at each other , when suddenly a man yelled out, throw the dice and broke her spell. Kevin had taken out one hundred dollars to place a bet . He bet everything on Julia's roll as the dice rolled across the table. His heart pounded everytime she looked over at him. Seven was announced and they won.

He collected his winnings and gave her while Julia took it without hesitation. This was his time to ask for her name and could he have her phone number. Before she could speak her friend Joyce said " The party bus is here it's time to go ", Joyce grabbed  her hand and pulled  her away from the gambling table. Kevin had collected all her winning and ran after them.That was when Julia invited him to join them.

Music was blasting as girls were  half -naked and  sliding up and down on a stripers' pole. Kevin didn't know what to do with himself.  His only concern was Julia and how he could  know her better. Seeing men throwing money around and smoking marijuana as he tried to approach the woman who captivated his heart. Where was she, he wondered in the smoke filled bus, but standing behind him she whispered in his ear, " Are you having fun yet ?" as she handed him a drink.

Dancing around him and teasing with him, Julia was interested in getting to know him as well, with long beautiful brown hair standing six feet tall and high cheek bone , she could have been a model. The bus pulled up to their hotel after driving around town for hours. While exiting the bus they both  took a stroll down the Las Vegas Strip to talk and came  across a little boutique where   Kevin purchased a ring without her knowledge as she went to try on a dress in the store. 

 He waited patiently and as Julia came out from the dressing room  he lifted her up and twirled her around and asked " Will you marry me " She  too replied  "why not! Let's get married right now." Often she would tell her family and friends that she was tired of  loneliness . Now she met her perfect man, this young handsome man that she adored asked her hand in marriage.


 Looking for the right dress for the occasion. Kevin couldn't believe she said ''.... Yes!''. Pacing up and down the store, he was in disbelief.  He uttered  "She said yes", he clasped his hands together and went on his knees, he prayed first and said, "God please don't let her change her mind, I love her and want to marry her with all my heart. "

Coming out of the dressing room , Kevin raised his head up and looked at  her angelic face. ''Will you marry me?'',  as he held her hand. Julia looked  down at Kevin, spewed vomit all over him and laughed aloud and still said ''Yes''. This was one awkward moment for Kevin and needless to say he didn't care about what just happen. He was elated with the beauty of his future bride to- be even in her drunken state. 

After purchasing a new suit and cleaning up the terrible mess Julia made , they found a lovely little Chapel and got married.
 It was love at first sight. They went on to have two beautiful children and enjoyed traveling with family and friends, as she flew high amongst the clouds.
