UNBELIEVABLE!
This was most people say when they heard some stories about ghost or a soul who appear and revealing their selves to us in an unexpected ways.
Actually, when our teacher told us to write a blog about this topic, frankly, I have no idea and I’ve got a hard time to write about this because literally, I haven’t experienced such a thing about this kind of feeling. Later on, I remembered a movie where I thought suited for this topic. The movie was Charlie St. Cloud.
Charlie St. Cloud (age 15) and Sam (12) are two brothers with a love so strong, no force can separate them. When their mom leaves Charlie to babysit Sam, they decide to go to watch a 1991Red Sox baseball game in Boston against the New York Yankees with their pet beagle, Oscar. They "borrow" their neighbor Mrs. Pung's Ford Country Squire. On the way there they cannot decide which CD to listen to. As they cross theGeneral Edwards bridge on the Saugus River, on the way home, Charlie decides to take a look at the moon to see if Sam was right about the moon being larger that night. Charlie does not see an 18-wheeler truck come and they end up tumbling twice crushing Sam along the way. When they are dead, they find themselves close to the cemetery in Marblehead, the town where they live. Sam is scared and Charlie makes a promise that they will never abandon each other. However, Charlie gets resuscitated in an ambulance by a religious paramedic, Florio Ferrente and carries on living.
Five years later, Charlie has grown up and is working at the Marblehead cemetery. Every evening at dusk he goes to a nearby forest where he plays with Sam. Charlie has the gift of seeing ghosts. This serves him well as an undertaker, as he can talk with ghosts.
In the town lives Tess Carroll, a yachtswoman who wants to make a round the world trip. A week prior to her departure, she directs her yacht in to a storm to test it, not listening to her shipsman Tink Weatherbee, who told her not to go into the storm. The storm sucks Tess into its grasp and the ship flips, leaving Tess hanging on upside down. Tess appears at the cemetery where her dad is buried. While regarding her father's memorial, she hears a loud clanging noise, which is Charlie scaring away the geese with his methods of banging trash can covers togeher. She remembers Charlie from high school and wonders if he remembers her. They both talk and Charlie ends up asking Tess to come over for dinner that night. Both are not entirely sure of this arrangement for different reasons. Tess is concerned with the fact that she never really was a true believer in love, and Charlie is worried that this could come in between his promise to him and Sam. The next while taking a walk with her dog, Bobo, Tess realizes that people ignore her when Bobo comes off his leash and nobody hears her saying to stop him. She then looks into the water and realizes that her reflection is not there. What is more, she can see Sam St. Cloud, the boy who died 13 years ago.
While at lunch the next day after their date, an officer comes in and states that Tess's boat, the Querencia, has gone missing and parts of the ship have been found. Charlie is shocked at the thought that Tess could be dead. He had heard of "middle ground" where spirits would stay until they were ready to pass over to the next level. He had seen many come and go quickly and others who liked to stay like his brother. In the meantime everyone in the town in possession of a boat, including Charlie, explores the harbor in order to look for Tess's body. Charlie questions his sanity because the night they shared together was so real and Tess was full of life. There was no way she could possibly be gone.
Everyone gives up the search, but then Charlie feels that there is one place he has to go. With Sam's help he finds Tess's body. Tess is transported to a hospital where the doctors stabilize her in a deep coma.
A few months later, Charlie decides to quit his job and move on, bidding a final farewell to Sam, now 25 years old from crossing over. He is now a paramedic at Engine 2 on Franklin Street. During his last visit at the hospital Tess wakes up. Charlie remembers how they met, and Charlie tells her the story of how they met and fell in love at Marblehead Cemetery.
It was a fictional fable movie and a mere love story but it has something sense like talking to a spirit, and I know some people have experienced like that or in other way. Charlie has the capability to see spirits or souls like he used to see the spirit of his brother that was died five years ago, and the soul of a girl which to believe already died. Charlie can communicate on the dead souls.
Based on the movie and from what I have heard, I BELIEVE that dead communicate with the living. I may not sure if it is true or not, but some says it’s true because they already experienced it and some says it’s not. It’s UNBELIEVABLE right??.. but its TRUE!!.. There are many reasons why I believe that dead communicate in the living. One reason is that maybe that person is not ready to die yet and he/she has no choice because it’s already his/her time. The spirit of the person will appear by any means of how he/she sends a feeling of his/her existence on his/her someone she loves or to her family like; appearing in a dream on one of her family and talking to him/her to finish her mission that hasn’t been completed. Another reason is that when the soul haven’t put in a peaceful manner. The most reason that convinced me a lot to believe it, when there was a program in the television discussing, arguing regarding this issue. They eventually invited professional personnel to justify it. And I found out that this is true for those who can see souls or spirits and for those who can feel and experienced. It may sound ridiculous but it is TRUE.
At first, I don’t want to believe that the soul or spirit of a person who died exists here in this world, and there’s such a word spirit exists. During the time of my adolescence, I heard many views, stories or opinions about this topic. Honestly, it’s hard for me to accept the truth that it exists because I haven’t yet experienced it. Later on, due to some reasons I believe that it exists and dead could really communicate people who are still alive. I started to believe it when my dear friend told me that she experienced and felt that her grandma was talking to her who happened to die many years ago. And I have seen many movies and read many books related to these one.
In this existing world there are many mysterious happenings that are hard to accept and believe in unless you can see it for yourself and experienced it. We don’t know why this thing happened but maybe it was the call of nature and part of our evolution of life. It’s up to you whether to believe or not. All of us has own opinions and no one can judge it.
