Transported supernaturally?
There is not enough words for me to prove the truth of this story. I can only wish you had been there with me. This occurrence will give an idea of the fastest way to travel from point A to point B. I drove out to work one day. It was one of those usual clear, sunny mornings and everything was normal except traffic. Within minutes, I ran into a hardly moving, bumper to bumper jam. Losing patience and in attempt to outsmart this queue, I turned left, thinking I could loop back ahead somewhere. A few turns and I knew I was beginning to get lost. The river to my left was the only landmark I had and I was sure it was the North side, so I knew I was headed East. A few more turns and not a thing was familiar anymore. I was completely lost. I drove past a fenced power transformer station and that was the last landmark that had registered in my memory. Tense, looking from side to side, looking just like a lost driver, I continued driving on this straight stretch of road through t!
his entirely unfamiliar place, not knowing which direction I was headed. Houses of modern design, some new, hinted that I had entered a subdivision. Then, all of a sudden, there was a traffic light at the intersection up ahead about one block. It was at this point that the inexplicable occurred.
A brief description is in order at this point to help visualize the map of the area. An old highway runs north-south between two residential areas. It has three lanes on each side, divided at the middle throughout its length by a concrete-curbed grassy island. Both the West and East sides of this highway are fenced with heavy concrete walls in some parts and rock bolders on others all the way South beginning from the embankments by the river in the North. As far as I can recall there is no link between the two residential areas East and West of the highway except at the intersection I just mentioned above. Needless to say, to go from the residential area on one side of the highway to the residential area on the other side one must cross the highway and the only crossing is that intersection.
As I approached the intersection, I realized I was about to cross the highway. I had occasionally passed by this intersection while driving down the highway, so this was a familiar site. On the other side of the traffic light was the well known hotel. From this I got a positive bearing: I was on the East side of the highway headed West towards the intersection. But something very bizarre happened. As I slowed down towards the traffic light, I noticed that the North side of the hotel with its great big name was facing East. It should have been facing North! Then, as I stepped on the brake and just as the car stopped, the hotel switched to its normal position (turned 90 degrees) in the wink of an eye! that is, its East side facing east, its North side facing North - right in front of my very eyes, just like one would see on television! It was while waiting for the go signal at this inter-section when things became clear to me: I got lost on the WEST side of the highway, near
the river, past a power transformer station ..... what was I doing waiting for the green light here at the intersection EAST of the highway? How did I get here? My hair began to rise at this point, not from fear but probably from the realization of this impossibility!
Whatever it was that occurred, I found my bewildered self on this spot at the exit gate of a private property just at the intersection under the traffic light EAST of the highway. From somewhere in the subdivision WEST of the highway where I got lost I had to travel east, ram through those concrete walls or fly off rock
boulders then cross the highway, fight traffic, hop over the concrete-curbed island or cross this intersection in one piece then turn around and face the traffic light to get on this spot. I did none of the above and yet as sure as the sun brings light I landed here from the WEST. Later on I found out the fenced power transformer station - the last land mark stored in my memory - West of the highway where I got lost was approximately 7 miles Northwest from this exact spot.
May be some human being can explain at least in theory how an occurrence such as this happens. I've heard some of those theories. However, how far those theories are from what this really and actually is ..... in other words the truth behind the occurrence ..... is beyond human knowledge; a fact that we just have to accept. I have only some physics and chemistry to lay down as guestimates for this occurrence. Nevertheless, I can calculate how much time this occurrence saved me from that traffic queue to reach my office - at least 70 minutes.
This occurrence is still hair-raising for me 32 years later (now is year 2002). I still see the details like it happened only yesterday. I have no questions to ask, only the wish that the purpose for the occurrence would be at least made known.
