Lights...

[Nat]

Hi guys..I have feel i have to post this because I still cannot get it out of my head after all these years...ive always been interested in the paranormal but never befor have I have a solid concrete experience in my life up until this point.9 years ago I lost my brother in afghansitan he was due to be promoted to sgt upon his return however he and a collegue unfortunatly were killed in a rpg attack on the 1st of july. We went to see him re-entering the country at brize norton on the 7th of july just befor this also we stayed in a hotel close by ready to greet him back i fumbled for a while trying to touch a lamp i thought was a touch light 5 minutes no luck i tapped again it went out the light...I woke up next morning and switched the light on at the wall all the lights and what i thought were touch lights came on so i went over tapped it did not go off tried again but the only way to turn on and off was at the wall. We made our way back to our hometown I went to see his body in a morgue for the last time a scary prospect at 17.... His partner lived in my hometown and shared a house with my brother understadably she was scared and uneasy staying in the house on her own so I offered to sleep over for a week or too. I stayed in a spare bedroom where his sgt uniform was in the corner in a box which he never got the chance to see yet he had ordered it cheaper off ebay sometime befor his death. One night I went to bed had a pull cord for the light above my head and one on the far wall. I switched the pull cord light off and just lay there thinking mulling things over when the lights the bulb kept slowly coming on and then fading to dark again I thought how is this possible when it takes me to pull the cord to switch the light on or manually do it at the wall I have never been more awake in my life....I tried to close my eyes but could not get it out of my head so opened them and again the lights slowly for a second or two came on them darkness again. At this point I got scared...so i called in his partner and told her what had just happened sure enough when I went to show her and she cane in the room it didnt happen. Do you think that could of been my brother trying to communicate with me it was very soon after his death possibly befor the funeral or just after...its been that long my memory is a little hazy. Thanks in advance for replies. Nat x

Welcome to Paranormalis, Nat!

Let me first say how terribly sorry I am to hear about your brother's passing...

I definitely think what you experienced could have been your brother trying to come through to you... Did you feel afraid when it happened, or did you instantly get that feeling that it was him causing the lightbulb to illuminate and dim?

Hi thank you, Yes i instantly thought it could be him but it did creep me out a little and i think i made that know..not much happened after that to myself but my brothers have continued having experiences up until about 4 years ago one brother in particular who was around his age. Ive had other family members pass away but maybe because his was ended so abrubtly and have everything to live for maybe he was trying to contact. The night befor he was killed he was on the phone to his partner and said that he sounded a little scared as if he knew as if he was saying goodbye incase...the strange thing is they were moved from their position to the one they were killed in not long befor the rocket hit which is know for its innacuracy but spooky enough it killed him and a first muslim soldier his friend also....which according to sources put the taliban on a high after that ...on a photograph took at camp befor they flew usually they take the pic with shortest at front etc my brother was pretty small and his collegue very tall both were opposite ends of the picture maybe it was already set in stone...
