The Last Mimzy Trailer High Quality

Spooked in Ja.

We were trying to be a real family again---it was 1991--and my life had returned to "almost normal" after having had to cross the globe to enact some special help..and there I was, in Jamaica--again--with my own children and their Dad.

We were staying in a villa in 'Bay and one night, when I was sitting down to eat my late dinner, I felt a presence standing right behind me. Remaining calm, I chose to ignore "him" and kept eating. That is when "it" stuck its bony finger right into my spine!

That was it! I jumped up and ran out of the house! But had to return as my children were inside, sleeping.

Needless to say, we kept the lights on all night!

Jamaica is literally teeming wiht ghosts and the supernatural. It is where I saw my first ghost and most importantly, where I first discovered I had a way of deflecting them away; a talent that has only grown with time.

I love you and my wonderful Michael soo soo soo soo MUCH!!!
