A Helpful Ghost
When I was young and had my daughter and I found my first apartment, my daughter had a crib that was like a swing but at night it laid out into a bed. I kept it on the side of my bed so I could reach over and touch her if she woke up. One night I went to bed put her in her crib and turned on my clock, which I turned on every night and left on. Well I was sleeping, and every time I went off into a deep sleep the bed started shaking real hard and I would wake up to see that the radio was off. I figured it was because it was a clock radio and it just went off by itself. So I turned it back on and looked over at my daughter, and she was sleeping. At least that’s what I thought. I was a young girl and had no experience with a baby; I was just learning. So I turned over and went back to sleep, when the bed started shaking real hard again and it felt as if something was on me. I jumped up and the radio was off again! I was getting kind of scared. I kept the light on the next time and looked to see if the radio was set to keep going off, but it wasn't so I lay down again. This time when the bed started shaking real hard I jumped and my daughter’s bed was rocking and the radio was off. I picked her up because I thought I better get ready to run. It was about 2 or 3 in the morning so I couldn't go out in the dark, but as I picked her up I felt she was burning up and was sweating. I called my sister on the phone and she sent her husband over to get us. I took my daughter to the hospital; she had the double pneumonia. I thanked god for that ghost, or what ever it was, because they knew I wasn't aware of what was happening.
