Even better. Then we take a look. The story of a young boy who loves it when his parents come to see him at school. So when he looks out across the playground and sees his dad waving towards him, the boy has no idea he's about to be running into the arms.

Doesn't even get to use one of our vehicles. Come out here to Mia's in Argentina. We're headed to Argentina specifically. We're going to be in Laguna del Pescado, which is in the Entre Rios province in Argentina.
Now, if you're Argentinian and actually got an email from someone from Argentina recently. I'm trying to remember. I read it. I'm just trying to remember what it said.
I appreciate all your guys. You can totally even remember it. He just announced on the podcast, oh, yeah, send me mail. I'll read it.
I won't remember what they said. They sent me a. Oh, dude, no, now I remember it. They sent me this crazy ghost story.
We're going to cover that next week. Because I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, this would be good. But if you're from Argentina, it's most likely the second I said Laguna del Pescado, you go, oh, I know what this story is. Because apparently this is a super well known UFO story in Argentina.
Some say it's the most well known story in the country. I've never heard of it. And in fact, this, when I came across this, I was like rubbing my hands together and licking my lips. I was like, I would love this to happen to me.
I would love this to happen to me. I've always wanted this to happen to me. So let's delve into this. We're headed to Laguna del Pescado.
Laguna del Pescado is a very, very small town. Has a population between like 40 and 100 people. According to Wikipedia, we're at Laguna del Pescado, this really small town. It's October 16, 1992.
It's 10:30 at night. We're about to meet a man. His name is Modesto Coleman. Modesto Coleman.
He's 60 years old and he's working at this mill in the area. And he's the only one there. Small town, right? It's probably like a two man mill.
And the other guy already left. He's like, up. Time to shut down the mill. Modesto says.
So he's like shutting off all the buzz saws. Vanessa Coleman. Shutting down this mill for the Night. And he has to descend this ladder.
He's, like, on the top area. He descends this ladder. He gets to the bottom, and then that's when all of a sudden, he begins to feel cold chills down the back of his neck. Modesto says.
And then all of a sudden, the whole area is lit up. It's illuminated with a bright light that Modesto said was about as bright as the sun. He goes, it was literally the entire area, like it was daylight. He begins walking out, and he sees this large sphere nearby.
It's about 100ft away. I don't know if it's hovering off the ground, I'm assuming, because once Modesto starts walking away, the sphere begins to float towards him, but never closer than 100ft. They're just kind of following him. But, you know, just.
Just to be spooky, right? There's an old grandma. Oh, he better run. Coleman.
Two twin girls. He's walking away. This orb is following him. You're like, great.
Last thing that I wanted. I really want to go home and watch some television. I got this giant orb from beyond the stars following me. Coleman turns around, and he sees three short beings.
Three short entities descend from the sphere. This is kind of a what would you do? Situation. You're the only one in not the most remote area, but there's a lot of people in the area, 100 people, tops.
You're the only one at your work site for sure. Who knows how far away his car is, how far away his home is. You see a ufo, it's following you. It's not way up in the sky.
It's hovering towards you. No matter how far you walk away, it's 100ft away, and they see three people get out of it. What would you do? I know a lot of you would go, well, maybe I would try to shake the alien's hand.
Maybe I want to say we come in peace, or you hopefully come to peace. I'm already here, so I'm here in peace. Do you come in peace? Some of you guys would do that.
Most people, I think, would run, try to hide. And then there's a subset. There's a subset of people who would do what Modesto did. He reaches down to his belt, pulls out a knife, and rushes the aliens.
This is a bold move, especially because he doesn't really want. Right. They could be lost where Mars is. He's rushing these three short guys.
I mean, in his defense, they haven't following him in a vehicle beyond all known science. But he pulls out his Knife. And he begins rushing them. He pulls out his knife and begins rushing them, when all of a sudden, a bright beam shoots out of the sphere and hits Modesto right in and just blasts Modesto right in the face.
Probably just being heck of it, right? I know a lot of you be like, oh, I pull my gun out and I shoot all three of them, or I shoot two of them and make the third one beg for his life. But charging him with a knife, probably not the most practical way. I mean, considering some of the things we've covered.
Stories where people have stabbed aliens in the night. Just bins. But doesn't charge with a knife. Gets blasted by a laser beam, which anyone who.
This is 1996, right? This is 1906. Aliens and laser beams kind of go hand in hand. He can't see now.
He's blinded for a moment, and he falls to the ground. He's blasted in the face. I can't see. And he starts to notice something as he's screaming that he can't see, that he's blinded.
He's like, all I want to do is stab you multiple times. You didn't have to blind me. Ah. He begins to notice something.
He's like, no. What? Hey. Oh.
Oh, no. What's like. What's that? He turned into Mr.
Bill. What is that? He shrank. He shrank.
I've always wanted to shrink, dude. That's like my. That'd be one of my favorite things to do if someone could shrink me down to, like, an inch or two tall. The adventures I could have.
I'm kind of jealous of this guy. I have to start charging more mysterious figures with knives. He shrank. No, no.
Look at me. I'm a tiny guy. He said he shrank down to about a couple centimeters in height. He realizes he's completely outmanned, outmatched, and outsized.
So he turns and he starts running. And he gets behind the tree. And the giant UFO is massive. Now with the Death Star, shoots another beam at him.
Even though he's hiding behind a tree, this beam comes out of the UFO and not only sears the tree. Not only burns the bark of the tree, it also hits him again. He's hiding behind the tree. He's tiny.
And it hits him again. Now, unfortunately, he doesn't drink. Again, right up the extra tiny. What, like a scouting man?
Little microscopic Jason. He doesn't shrink any further. He's still. Well, here's the thing.
You're like, wait, wait, hold down. You tell me that a human being shrank and then took off running through the grass. Well, I will admit there might be a bit of translation error with this story for sure, but let's just keep saying that shrink for now, because that's what I want to happen. We'll get into the specifics in a bit.
But the beam hits the tree. It still blasts him. He takes off running again. He's in hysterics.
Who wouldn't be right? Being chased by a ufo. But it'd be cool to be tiny, right? A little bit of the good, a little bit of the bad.
He's running, and when the second beam hit him, it almost put him in this weird slow motion warp thing where he's running slow. Doesn't seem like he can catch his footing. His eyesight, which had returned from being blinded earlier, is now hazy. What?
He's barely able to make out what's in front of him. A swirl to his left, a worm to his right, A rabbit hole the size of the Grand Cannon. He's dodging all of this stuff. He sees a wire fence ahead and he knows he needs to get over that to get away from this alien UFO.
First off, we know that alien UFOs cannot hover over wires. Secondly, it might just been a piece of dental floss laying on the ground. But whatever the case, Modesto climbs over the fence, rips his shirt. Which, I mean, if he tells me UFO report, but that's probably the most harmless thing in this whole story.
He's been blinded, he's been shrunken, and then he was thrown into a slow motion stasis run. Now his shirt is ripped. He is eventually able to get home. And they said when he came home he was crying uncontrollably.
My shirt's on. My shirt. I just got his shirt off. I'm sure that he was traumatized.
But was he tiny when he came through the front door? Was he the tiny guy? The biggest proof of UFOs ever. There's all these photographs of this man.
He's like 2 inches tall. And they're like, here's the best of Coleman. He used to be, but full size. He's still wearing his ripped shirt.
They can't find any clothes small enough for him. Here's a Nestle Coleman. This is proof of alien life. This is a tiny man.
Michelle nibbling on a grape. He's on. Was he tiny? Well, no, fortunately not.
He was normal sized. He came through the door crying. He's probably crying because he wasn't short anymore because shrinking's dope. He's like, oh.
He opens the door knob. He's like, I'm human sized. He comes through the door, oh, I'm human sized. Why am I so big?
My childhood dream has been crashed. Look at my shirt. What the world is going on, dude? It's like 10:30 at night.
Why are you screaming? He was completely traumatized for this. And for the next 10 days, he suffered from normal sizeness because nobody wants to be normal size. Also loss of hearing, impaired vision, comedy expected.
Ready? Got blasted in the face twice. And facial burns. He's just hanging out at a house with these burns on his face going, what?
Huh? I can't hear you, honey. Can you turn up the television set out? What's the point?
He can't see you anyways. Investigators apparently went back to the sites where all this happened, the mill, and they found, quote, ground traces at the site. We don't have any real specifics of what that could be. As well as the tree where he hid behind had a burn mark on it.
This was reported. I got this From Think about docs.com they got it from a UFO investigator named Sylvia Perez. Simon Denny. She's a UFO investigator from Victoria, Argentina.
She's written books on the subject. She's done multiple television appearances. Apparently Netflix is working on a documentary about her life. When I was doing research into her, this was the case they talked about.
They're like, this is one of the most well known cases in Argentina. This is a case that she investigated. And there is a UFO museum in the area, I believe, in Victoria, that has Modesto's shirt in it. His shirt's hanging up.
And what's interesting is I look more in the story. The original version I have is that his shirt got ripped climbing over the fence. It's also stated that his shirt got burned at one point. So it's not just.
It's not just a rich shirt. You're like, oh, and here is the shirt of a man who jumped over a fence and ripped his shirt. Like, what? The shirt in the museum has burns on it from where the beams are hitting them.
But I didn't know where that happened in the narrative, so I wanted to save that. So after the fact, I don't know if it was the first beam or the second beam or the shrinking beam. Also, a dog died was another point. But I was like, what?
That was in the narrative. I. I don't know if the dog was just walking by or if it was his dog or the mill owner's dog or anything like that, but so there are other aspects of this that wasn't in the initial report I found. But because we're running into language barriers that all of these articles except for the thing about a docs.com one everything else I looked at because this is obscure case outside of Argentina.
In Argentina it's well known I was having to run through language translators and things like that. So I'm sure that someone from Argentina would be able to say whose dog it was. Fascinating if not run of the mill UFO story. Basically an encounter with a human versus aliens.
A lot of times humans don't react violently, but it's not a rare incident when they do because you do have that fight or flight instinct. I'll put a couple episodes in the show. Notes. Sometimes we have military engaging aliens and that's pretty like pretty on brand because you have military trying to maintain control over certain area.
They're so often we'll come across a story with someone trying to shoot an alien and the gun generally jams and a bullet is useless. Sometimes we'll have stories like this where people charge them with knives or melee weapons. There was one story. I'll see if I can find it.
I know I can think of all these episodes. I think a dude did clap an alien like just shot him right in the brain. And the other aliens had to grab their fallen comrade and track on the UFOs. The guy was continuing to fire on them.
I'll see if I can find an episode. It's interesting people's encounters with these things. And some of them are immune, some of them are protected by their technology and some of them just get shot in the head. Charging them with a knife, he gets shot with his beam.
I. I would really caught my attention on this one though. As much as I love humans attacking aliens. Shrinking, shrinking.
The narrative says when you look at thinking about a ducks.com he gets blinded. And then he was feeling like he was shrinking. He began to feel like he was shrinking. He felt like he was just a few centimeters tall.
So it's possible because I would think I remember that right. I would have described it. I just felt like I was smaller. I was like, oh shit, I'm with a beam.
And next thing I know I was writing a mouse as a mount trying to get home. Could have been that he was blinded and felt like he was shrinking and couldn't really see what was actually happening. Or it could have actually shrank. He could have shrank, which would be the best I think more people.
I don't think I'm the only person who wants to shrink. When I was a kid, I always thought how cool it would be to be like an inch or too tall. Maybe because I watched the Littles a lot. I watched all sorts of stuff.
I watched Garfield and I never wanted to be a cat. You know, be a little tiny guy, go on adventures. You can have adventures in your boring old house if you're just an inch tall. You grab a sewing needle, start poking people in the toes and then you could.
That might be it, that might be it. I'm like oh, my words then hope I return to normal size soon. I'm just this tiny guy as the rats are gnawing their ways through the drywall to get me. I think it'd be cool to be tiny.
I wouldn't want to be any taller than I am, but I think it'd be cool to be like an inch tall. I wouldn't want to be like a giant man. Tiny guy is what I want to be. So that kind of caught my eye.
If more aliens were shrinking people, that'd be. I'd be. I would finally support the alien cause. I'd be inviting them to invade them.
Like, shrink me, shrink me. It's like a Twilight Zone. Everyone gets shrunk but me. I'm like, no aliens, you bastards.
They're flying away. I'm a giant on the planet. But yeah, when you go toe to toe an alien, you don't know what you're going to get. Not only do you not know what type of technology they might throw at you, you don't even know if your weapons will work.
And while occurrences of humans attacking aliens are not particularly rare in the world of ufology, the idea of a human killing or harming an alien is. Which shows that it almost never works out for the humans. Whenever they try to put up any sort of resistance with weaponry or even just fists, they almost always end up losing. Resnet, let's go ahead and touch you the keys to the world of famous carbon copter we're leaving behind Argentina.
Everyone check your size. Yeah, we're normal. Resnet take us up, up and away out of Argentina. Once you fly us all the way out to school, we're headed out to an elementary school.
We don't have exact location or the name of the participant in the story. He posted this online anonymously. We're going to call him Larry. Larry is at school.
He's a six year old boy who in just a few days is going to be seven years old. Now. Larry was a shy Kid. And he knew he was a shy kid.
He knew that he didn't have a lot of friends. He knew he didn't really like being around a lot of people. He made a decision to be a loner. He said that whenever he was around too many people, he felt cloudy is the word he used, cloudy.
So he made a decision to not really hang out with a bunch of people. Some people are loners, not by choice. But Larry's like, you know, I kind of want to be left by myself. However, he did have this little tradition that him and his family did and he really enjoyed it.
He loved it so much. On his birthday, his mom and his dad would come to his school and they would eat lunch with him. And that made it just so special. He didn't have to eat lunch by himself.
He could sit there at school with his mom and his dad celebrating his birthday, eating, laughing, talking, being together. But this particular time, as his birthday is approaching, he asked his mom and dad about it. And they say, we can't do it. We just can't do it this time.
And that's breaking little Larry's heart. He loves this so much. So he's begging, mom, dad, come on now. Really, like, this is so important to me.
I really want to have you guys at school. I really want to have just some time with you at school. And both of them are like, we can't do it, Larry. Like, it's just not going to work.
You can beg all you want, but we're not going to be able to do the lunch thing. I'm sorry, honey, but we can't. Looking back on it now as an adult, Larry says, you know, like, there's certain things you don't really process as a kid. Because looking back on it, my parents were fighting at the time.
My parents were fighting and they were really stressed out. Like as a kid I knew they were fighting, but the idea of like stress and all that stuff, I didn't really, couldn't really like verbalize it. He said his father had recently lost his job and that was a big source of their stress. And they'd been fighting, mom and dad had been fighting.
And that's adult Larry able to process that information and those emotions. But six year old Larry, he's heartbroken. All he wanted on that day was for mom and dad to show up and he could have lunch with them, be with them, not be alone on his birthday. Well, his birthday does eventually come around and Larry is at school.
He doesn't even want to go to school. That day, he doesn't want to go to school because doesn't want to be alone on his birthday. So they really have to make sure that he gets to school that day. It's almost like a struggle just to get him there and while he's there, because they do officially get him there while he's there.
Larry is walking around the playground during recess. And he looks. And his dad showed up. His dad's there.
It's almost like a surprise. It was a surprise. It's almost like it was a planned surprise. Like, you thought I wasn't gonna be with you.
You thought we were gonna make you eat alone. But, nope, here I am. Larry looks up, and he sees his dad across the field. And he goes.
My dad completely stood out in a crowd. My dad was a big guy. He was 6 foot 7. He had thick glasses.
Even his glasses were big. And also had a big red mustache. So you could spot him in a crowd. You could spot across the field.
Larry looks, and he sees his dad walking along this part of the field where the playground ends and the basketball courts begin. And Larry's farther away than that, where he's playing. And he can tell his dad's looking for him. He can tell his dad's kind of, like, looking around, looking for his son.
Larry runs over there, runs across the field, runs across the playground, runs the basketball courts. Dad. Oh, my God. What are you doing here?
What are you doing here, dad? And dad says, larry, I. I just didn't want you to be upset on your birthday. I didn't want you to be upset.
Larry grabs his dad's hand, and they begin walking along the fence line that borders the school from the outside world. And they're just walking and they're just talking about stuff. Nothing in particular. Larry says, you're just talking about, like, random stuff.
What do little boys and their dads talk about? Just fun stuff. Larry's holding his dad's hand as they continue to walk. They're walking farther and farther off.
They're almost near this forest that signifies the complete edge of school property. He's far past the play area where the kids should be. But he's just having so much fun talking to his dad. And his dad, he can tell, is having fun talking to him.
A beautiful moment on a little boy's birthday. Larry said that. Something in my head. I had this thought for an instant that.
And he didn't really know why he knew this, but he knew that recess was almost over. Even without a watch or a bell to signify Anything. He knew recess was almost over. And in that same instant, when Larry goes, recess is almost over.
His dad stops, kneels down in front of Larry, and looks at him with a very serious expression on his face. Larry is looking at his dad, his dad is looking at him. And his father says something. Larry's dad then grabbed his son by the shoulder, gently turned him around and nudged him back towards the play area.
Larry looks across the field, and he sees Ms. Rosa, one of the teachers, standing pretty far off, waving Larry over, waving Larry back to class. Recess was over. And not only was it over, Larry was late.
He didn't hear the bell. He didn't come in. He was the only kid out there. Larry turns around to say goodbye to his father, but his father's gone.
He's nowhere to be seen. He doesn't think much of it, right. You know, adults leave. Adults have other stuff to do.
He's grateful that his father came on his birthday. What a great surprise. He just goes back to class the same day, but a different class period. Larry is called into the school office.
When he shows up there, he sees his sister, who we will call Mallory, waiting there. And she looks upset. She looks upset. She looks like something has happened.
And it's weird for Mallory to pick up Larry from school, but he has to leave with her. And he asked Mallory, what's wrong? What's going on? She goes, mom will tell you everything.
Wait till we get home. Mom will tell you everything. They get home, and Larry walks in, and there he sees his mother, and she's just weeping openly, sobbing. Earlier that morning, Larry's dad was sitting in bed on his crappy, cheap laptop, applying for jobs, trying to find work, trying to find a way to provide for his family, when he suffered a massive heart attack.
And his wife was in another part of the house doing laundry. So she doesn't hear anything, she doesn't know anything that's happened until later when she walked into the bedroom and saw him slumped over in bed. By the time she called paramedics, he had been dead for too long. He had a heart attack in his bed and died.
And Larry starts going, wait, what? No. Huh? That's not.
Back into school. I just saw, like an hour ago, less than that. Mallory is really upset by this. You think that your little brother is maybe joking or something like that.
You think that he's not taking it seriously. I think a lot in this moment, the last thing you'd be thinking is, oh, dad was a ghost, and he wants to say goodbye to his son. One last. Mallory might get a little jealous.
She's like, what? I didn't see the faith of her dead father on the day he passed away. They start arguing. She's like, quit making up stories.
Quit making up stories. And Larry is thinking, well, maybe he's not dead. Maybe he's not dead. Maybe he's still just making his way back home from the school, because I just saw him a little bit ago, so maybe we should all just calm down.
He's not dead. He didn't die in the bedroom and he didn't go to the hospital. Maybe he's just, like, stopping by the local Wendy's or something like that. And despite eventually escalates to the point that Mallory forces Larry into his bedroom and locks him in it.
Locks him in his bedroom using some sort of coat hanger technique. Larry said, I don't remember much of that day after that. After getting locked in my room, I don't remember much. Jump ahead.
Ten years later, Larry and Mallory are at a local Waffle House. They've both grown up at this point, they're much older. They're eating breakfast, just catching up on their lives, just talking. And Mallory says, hey, Larry, remember that time?
It was weird, but remember that time when you were a kid, we were kids, and dad died. Larry's like, do you remember dad dying? That's what you're talking about. She goes, well, yeah, kind of, but that's part of it.
Do you remember the day that he died? Do you remember saying that you saw him that day, that he came to the playground and you talked to him? Do you remember saying all that stuff? And Larry did not remember.
Larry didn't remember any of that story, but she said it to him, and in the Waffle House. He starts to freak out. He's starting to become overwhelmed with all of these emotions, all of these things and thoughts that he had buried. Not because he chose to, they just buried themselves.
And for 10 years, he'd completely forgot about this stuff, and now it's just hitting him. So, yeah, we've been about 607. It just slams into him. And he goes, I can barely contain myself.
He goes, I'm trying to explain to my sister the story. I'm trying to retell the story, but I can't even get the words out. It's such a struggle. That happened five years ago.
He wrote this recently. He says, now to this day, I do remember all of that. I'd forgotten it. I'd buried it for 10 years.
But now I do remember. And he Says if I think about it, I don't want to think about it. It's this intrusive thought, an intrusive memory he can't get out of his head. He tries to avoid remembering it, but every so often something will trigger it and he will remember his father standing at the edge of the playground looking for him, looking for Larry.
It's not the fact of seeing a loved one shortly after they died. This is a very common type of ghost story. That's not the issue. We come across these.
We don't cover them quite often on the show because they're so numerous, but we do the more unusual ones, and that's where this one fits. Because it's not the fact that he saw his loved one. It's not that he saw his father alive after his dad was actually dead at a different part of town. It's not that.
It's what did my dad say to me when he knelt down and looked right into my eyes? He said something, he told me something. And I cannot remember what he said. I can't remember the message that my father felt was so important that he appeared to me after he died.
Not to his wife, not to his daughter, not to his own parents, but to Larry. Out of all of the people in this dad's life, he appeared to Larry. And while, yes, he did appear on the day of his son's birthday to show up at school, which is what his son always wanted. And they walked and they talked about fun things, which is what his son always wanted.
What was the final message, the last words that this father spoke to his son? Larry cannot remember what that message was. He can't even hazard a guess. His father transcended the duality of life and death to become something outside of that, to spend some time with his son and to deliver a message.
And Larry doesn't know what his dad said. He said, that's what is part of this turmoil in me. Like when I think about this moment. One he goes, let me read it.
How he ends this post he posted on the export, he says, quote, I've never been a believer in the paranormal, more of an avid hoper of it. But this memory caused me some inner turmoil with my beliefs. Whether my father had visited me post mortem or I just made it up that day, I can never remember. However, I really wish I could recall what he told me that day.
The making it up thing is an interesting thing because he would have to make it up in the moment. I can honestly see somebody undergoing trauma and then five Years later, misremembering that trauma. So it's his birthday. It's Larry's birthday.
He finds out his dad had a heart attack on his birthday, and then years later, makes up a memory, maybe part of its fragments of dreams, a little bit of wish, a little bit of wishing what had been different, a little bit this, a little bit of that. So years later, he actually thinks that this really happened when it hadn't. Human memory can be like that, but that's not the case here, because he told his sister that day. He told his sister.
Two hours after it had happened, he told his sister, hey, I don't think that's actually dead. He was just at school. So it's not like his brain was dealing with the trauma of what was going on. And you could go, jason.
Well, maybe it was. Maybe it was an instant memory, because, again, memory is weird. We did that episode about retroactive. What was it?
Retroactive psychosis. But the episode of Show Notes where people have actually made up conspiracy theories in the past and say, this man's been stalking me my entire life. And in fact, she just met him two days ago, but she's. She's retroactively hallucinated him in her past.
She never saw him until two days ago, but when she saw him, she began to remember him as a PE Teacher in middle school, he. And as an elementary hockey coach when she was in elementary school. And then he worked at a preschool. None of that ever happened.
And her memory filled in blanks. Terrifying. That's absolutely. That's probably one of the scariest forms of insanity I've ever heard of that.
It can rewrite the hard drive of your brain backwards. But what's interesting about this is we have him being late for class. We have the teacher, Ms. Rosa, waving him in.
So that would be if it was a fake memory created on the fly. That's a weird detail to add, Ms. Rosa, trying to get his attention to bring him in is because he really was across school, because he really was late for recess being over. And people post on the line, go one address, Ms.
Rosa. Because if your dad stood out from a crowd, maybe she could say that, yeah, she did see you walking with a tall man. Maybe she even knew it was your father. He said, you know, at this point, it was 15 years ago.
He could. And she may not remember any of the details, but you never know, right? You never know. That was the day that a student at their school found out that his father had died.
You'd be surprised what teachers can Retain what things really stand out to them. That'd be an interesting thing for Larry to investigate. And I'm sure Ms. Rosa still works there.
She would be interested in helping you out. And it would be a yes or no or, I guess, a maybe answer, right? Hey, remember that day my father died? I swear that he came to the school and I was walking along the fence line to talk to him.
Do you remember me? Do you remember 15 years ago, on the day my father died? Because he had the news around the school. When something like that happens, all the teachers and all the staff would know about it.
They would know that this had happened, Especially if it happened during a school day. So Ms. Rosa could go, no, I don't remember that at all. Ms.
Rosa could say, I do remember the day your father died. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I remember you being late for recess. It's weird that I even remember that.
It was just such a crazy day with the news and everything. But I don't remember anything. I don't remember specifically you talking to anybody. Or it's possible that Ms.
Rosa says, yeah, actually, I do remember that. I'm sorry for your losses. Absolutely terrible you had to go through that. I do remember, though, you were late for recess that day.
I remember kind of thing. It was weird because one, you were talking to someone, you're generally alone, or two, you're with an adult. Way off of the way off where you should be. You guys are like, near the forest.
I was a little concerned when you didn't come back for recess. I came out and I saw you standing there with an adult, and then you turned around and I waved you over, and then you came. I mean, see? So then you would have that confirmation.
It's interesting because probably it would be the second scenario. It would be interesting if a ghost appeared to someone personally to deliver a message, and yet other people witnessed that spirit. It's not out of the question. But it wouldn't be what we see in the lore.
It wouldn't see what we see in general. Paranormal lore. Fascinating ghost story. They do happen a lot.
It's interesting that he forgot about it for so long. His sister remembered that day, and she probably thought it was weird. She probably brought it up because it was weird. She's like, why did he think so?
Why was he so argumentative, believing that dad was there? I'll ask him about it sometime. But the idea that someone could come back from the dead to deliver you a message and you don't remember it that would really, I think, mess with a lot of our heads because you would wonder, you would have to not think about it at a certain point because you'd be racking your head trying to figure out what was it. It's kind of like sometimes you have a song in your head, you're trying to remember what the name of it is.
Or there's a scene in a movie that you can't remember what movie it's from. But in those cases, they're just minor stuff, right? Maybe you find out, maybe you don't. Maybe the sign eventually gets out of your head or whatever.
It's not a big deal. But this is a message your father came back from the dead to deliver to you and you don't remember it. It could have been an important message about Larry's future. Could have been a warning.
It could have been words of encouragement. A father telling his son that he'll be keeping an eye on him. He's very proud of Larry. He knows that his son is going to grow up to be a fine man.
Could have been all sorts of things. And you would wonder, why would someone forget such words of encouragement? Or why would someone forget a warning from the world of the dead? We don't know.
Could have been a good message, could have been a bad message. But it's possible it was simply the best message of all. The one message that the father could deliver just one more time to his son. The message that he wanted to deliver face to face.
The message that he defied the laws of death to return. To look at Larry and say the words that he would only get to utter one final time. The words Larry needed to hear the most. Happy birthday, son.
