July 24, 2025 — No, This Isn’t Shakespeare.
Forget the Shakespearean comedy. What follows is no tale of staged mischief or clever banter. Instead, this is an unfiltered descent into the shadows of memory—a labyrinth of childhood trauma, paranormal fascination, and lingering questions that have haunted me for a lifetime.

For some, the paranormal is simply a curiosity. For others, it becomes a mirror—reflecting back unresolved pain, physical scars, and moments too strange to dismiss. My story falls somewhere in between.

Fragments of Childhood

The memories come like broken glass—sharp in some places, hazy in others. Nothing is solid, nothing certain. Yet patterns emerge. I have long wondered if entities—call them ghosts, spirits, or something darker—attempt to manifest through points of trauma, perhaps even living in the regions of the body where pain resides.

One night, years ago, while lingering in a hospital during a late or overnight visit, I witnessed something I’ve never been able to explain. In the dim light of those antiseptic corridors, figures appeared—long-limbed, green, and unearthly. They seemed to materialize and dematerialize as if the fabric of reality itself was glitching. It was the kind of sight you’d expect from a badly-rendered sci-fi scene, not real life.

But was it real? At that age, I can’t say for certain. Trauma clouds memory. Pain edits the truth.

The Fall That Never Healed

There is, however, one event etched in absolute clarity. I must have been in kindergarten or the first years of grade school. I remember racing out of our apartment complex, eager to make it to class. My shortcut took me over some grass and a small green chain-linked fence—but as I leapt, my feet caught at the top. The world flipped.

I landed face-first on the unforgiving concrete.

A family member had been walking me to school, but the fall was more than a stumble. It was a jolt that felt as if my soul had cracked along with my body. The pain lingered far beyond that morning, embedding itself deep, like a foreign object.

In the months and years that followed, my behavior grew erratic. I want to apologize—truly—to my classmates and teachers. I was just a child who couldn’t explain what was happening inside. I thought I could brush it off. But the trauma stayed, a silent passenger that influenced everything.

Paranormal Fascination or Psychological Wound?

Looking back now, I wonder: Did this fall open something? Did the concussion or the shock put me into a kind of altered state—one that blurred the line between the real and the imagined?

The fascination I developed with the paranormal wasn’t just curiosity—it was compulsion. The green entities in the hospital, the shadows that lingered at the corner of my vision, all seemed connected to that early trauma.

Was it just my mind’s attempt to make sense of pain? Or do certain events—physical or emotional—attract something beyond the human? Some researchers believe trauma leaves a “rift” in the psyche, a point where other energies can slip through. It’s only a theory, but the idea resonates.

A Beginning, Not an Ending

This is not a conclusion. It’s the start of peeling back decades of suppressed fear and half-remembered visions. “Kiss Me Kate” isn’t about romance or laughter. It’s about reclaiming the narrative—examining the scars, both physical and mental, to see if the paranormal shadows I’ve lived with were ever truly “otherworldly,” or just reflections of a childhood wound that never healed.

In facing these memories, I may uncover the truth—or perhaps something I’m not yet prepared to confront. This is only the beginning, a first scratch at the surface of my journey into the unknown. It is a path I feel compelled to share, a reason why I have chosen to delve deeper into this field. There is more to explore, and with it, the hope of understanding both the shadows of the past and the mysteries that still linger.
