deb...i loved your letter! and i dont think you are strange at all! let me tell you an experience i had in my back yard in Pa...i worked 2nd shift, so never went to bed before 1 am or so...i had a habit in the summer of sitting outside in my back yard on my swing....me and the dog...just to look at the stars and relax...i had just gotten the info about my gg-grandfather marrying an "indian woman..." but no name...i was frustrated and sad...thought i would never find her, and why was i even trying? you know..the "about to give up mode"....i was just sitting there and the hair on the back of my neck stood up...my dog perked up her ears and turned around...didnt growl or anything...but was on alert...i turned around and saw three human figures standing there...one was an old man, another a young woman, and another younger man...they were dressed in plain buckskin..no feathers, drums etc. just standing there...i thought maybe i was dreaming...but the dog...she kept looking at them...the old man smiled at me...the woman took one step forward and held out her hand to me...then...they just disappeared...i was ready to run screaming to the house! then a real calm came over me...somehow i knew i didnt have to be afraid...the dog turned around and layed her head in my lap and went to sleep! so if she wasnt alarmed, i thought i didnt have to be either...i started to think about things...that very day, and elder had told me that my ancestors were looking out for me, and to keep on trying to find them...in my heart i knew something wonderful and special had just happened...i feel these were my long ago relatives telling me not to give up...that they were there...and my decision to move to Colorado was the right one...i have never forgotten that...so if you think you are nuts sis, then so am i! lol! i have also seen indian people dancing in the field across f! rom our building...just faded images...i learned that the cheyenne and other tribes used to camp around this area before denver was even built! i dont ever discount what other people hear and see...there are many many things we dont understand...but we must keep an open mind...good for you deb! at least your guests are welcome in your house...they will never harm you!
