The elderly Lady.

Her first warning was very early in life. No one took any notice of an eight-year-old girl. Every so often her eyes would close and she spoke these words. Always the same words, “Be aware they are hidden behind the Moon. Soon the time will come and they will invade the Earth.” Her eyes would then open and she would carry on doing what ever it was before she went into her trancelike warning.

One hospital after another with many different psychiatrists had examined the girl each had more or less given up with any kind of treatment the few tablets that she had been given had not helped. Marriage and the birth of a son did nothing to stop her trancelike warnings. The message was always the same. They are hiding behind the Moon and will soon invade the Earth. At the age of seventy she started her trance like warnings in public. This caused many people to write to their members of parliament, scientists were told to find out if any evidence was to be found that fleets of space ships were hiding behind the Moon waiting to invade Earth. This warning went all around the World every country took precautions. Huge reserves of war weapons were to be found in every country. No one wanted Aliens to invade the Earth.

Then after her interment in a mental hospital a film appeared made in America. The film showed about a thousand space ships the like of which had never been seen on Earth before. The space ships invaded the earth. What the elderly lady had been warning about for many years had at last become true. One of the Nurses actually took her to see the film. She could have written the script as she told the nurse all that was going to happen as scene after scene appeared on the huge screen. The elderly lady is now living with one of her Grand Daughters and no one ever heard her trance like warnings again. This is a true story, not just one of my imaginary stories. And no I will not divulge the ladies name or her Grand Daughter’s address she deserves to be left in peace till she passes away into a better life span. Bern
