Between My Aunt and My Mom

(Truly Experienced By: Paige From Florida)


My name is Paige, and just like my mum, I have the gift to see spirits, but only when they want me to. One of these incidents happened about four years ago when my favorite aunt, Aunty Lori, passed away from cancer.

In late 2008, I signed up for this camp called Flinders Rangers for two weeks. We left for the campsite a week late, and it took six hours to get to the hills, but when we got there, it was cool; there was a man called Barty whom I bonded with as a father role model, and Ron, a real jerk who acted like he was running a boot camp. I had to have a lot of help from my friends and Barty because it was my fist time camping out in the open, and that first night I started to cry and feel sorry for my mum because she has this thing called IBS that could turn into cancer. Everyone told me she would be fine, but each night the fears got worse as I wondered who would help her if she fainted, or what would happen if she died, because the only other person at home was my 11-year-old sister.

The fifth to last night there I was dreaming of my mum when my Aunty Lori came to me and said, “Paige, your mum is in great pain.” I woke up thinking it was only a dream, but when I got back to my tent from the bathroom, my aunty was standing next to it.

I was scared, because this was the most I had ever seen a spirit in one night, I asked her what she wanted and she told me that my mum was in great pain from a huge IBS attack; at that moment, I got a sharp pain all down my left side.

When I went home, Mum said I looked like death warmed up, and even after a nice, hot shower, I just looked at her and asked if I could go to bed. A week later, I asked Mum If she’d had an IBS attack while I was gone, and she said yes, all down her left side. I was nearly in tears. I told mum that I felt it too at camp. I also told her about Aunty Lori. From that day on, every time I get a sharp pain down my side, I know it's my Aunty Lori trying to warn me to be with my mum.
