Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

About 11 years ago, I moved into a nice condo in San Diego. The day I moved in, I was instructed to see the resident manager to sign a copy of the condo association rules and regulations. She was an elderly, very nice lady named Helen.

I am prone to hear sounds/words in my half awake/half asleep state (HAHA state) in the mornings. About three mornings after meeting Helen, I heard a woman’s voice in my ear say “Helen.”  Hmmm, I wondered, is my spirit referring to Helen, whom I just met?  About three mornings later, I heard the same woman’s voice say “murder.” Oh no!  Since it was the same voice and came so soon after I heard the name Helen, I connected the two and thought I was being warned that Helen was going to be murdered!

Three mornings later came the word “Ramon.” Well, in San Diego 34% of the population is Hispanic, and every gardener is Hispanic. I wondered where Helen would run into Ramon since she was retired and stayed mostly in her residence, and putting clues together, decided that she was going to be murdered by one of the condo gardeners! I didn’t know what to do! Should I warn Helen not to open her door to any of the gardeners?  Don’t offer them a glass of iced tea? Avoid walking anywhere near them when they are cutting the grass or tending to any other gardening chores? I remained silent but worried about this even years after I moved from there, always reading the paper to see if her name appeared in a news story. If she has since met her demise, I hope it was from natural causes.

I hate it when I receive words (which I sometimes interpret as clues)  and don’t know how to put them together to make any sense, or solve what I perceive as a puzzle. I thought more recently that the spirit’s name night have been Helen, and she was prompted to tell me that after I met my neighbor Helen, and perhaps it was she who had been murdered by Ramon.

Last week in my HAHA state, I heard the word “telephone” spoken by a lady, then she repeated it a couple of minutes later. What did that mean? Was I supposed to call someone? Who? Another clue which I cannot interpret.
