About Death and the Supernatural
I saw a picture on Facebook some days ago. Better a series of pictures. A bride who had wished so much that her sadly deceased father would live to see her wedding suddenly had a butterfly on her hand during the ceremony, which stayed with her until the end.
I read books, watched videos, researched on the internet. It is said that the dead can manipulate electricity and light. And: they can influence animals.
This has a lot to do with faith. And my faith has been very shaken in the last 2-3 years. But this story of the bride reminded me of something.
One evening I was at my father's grave. It was very dark and it was winter. It was really cold and uncomfortable. I had the light of my smartphone on to see anything at all. Suddenly, a white butterfly landed on my hand. I was startled and shooed it away. It came back and sat on my jacket. Or rather my dad's yellow winter jacket, which I've been wearing ever since. It didn't move from my spot.
What exactly did I experience?
One thing above all is inexplicable: I don't think there would have been any butterflies in that cold. The fact that they were attracted to the light – yes, that's explainable. But that they were there at all?
But maybe you just make supernatural things out of coincidences because you need them.
