One of the stories that gave my family goosebumps

Tweet

I have spoken about my cousin before and how we look alike. He is older than me by 9 years. I was about 7 when the (extended) family were talking about one day they went to the park. My cousin was playing with his imaginary friend on the slide at the top of the hill. And my grandmother and my female cousins were down by the creek playing. And my grandmother fell in. I remember at this point piping up and saying "I remember that. It was funny" I also remember becoming very distressed when my family denied I was there because I couldn't have been because I hadn't been born yet. Everyone figured I was just being imaginative... ... Until...I turned to my cousin. I was bawling at this point and he cuddled me to his chest. Between heaving sobs. I choked out "you remember don't you? We were playing together on the slide together." The look on my cousins face was one of pure shock. I continued to say that she was wearing her favourite sundress that had little blue flowers on it. Everyone was in a shocked silence... My grandmother had indeed been wearing the same dress when she had fallen into the creek.
