[00:17.48]MORROW ROAD
[00:22.17]茂林路
[00:38.05]Although it was almost midnight,
[00:40.83]the snow seemed to illuminate¹ the ground fairly well,
[00:45.36]so we began our walk down a path and through the woods.
[00:50.06]I knew we were in the right area,
[00:53.31]and getting closer to where the house used to stand
[00:56.83]because I could feel a "tingling² sensation"
[00:59.79]throughout my body--which is typical for me
[01:03.58]when I communicate with spiritual entities³.
[01:07.48]We walked for a few moments,
[01:09.68]until my mother decided⁴ that she was too cold to go on.
[01:14.04]So, we turned around and headed back toward the road.
[01:18.16]About ten feet from where the bridge used to be,
[01:21.80]I lunged forward, startled.
[01:25.27]My mother jumped around to look at me
[01:27.54]and had a nervous look on her face.
[01:30.61]"What?!" she said, anxiously.
[01:34.08]I was hesitant to tell her why I bolted towards her,
[01:38.19]but new that she was not going to believe me
[01:42.11]if I tried to brush my sudden movements off.
[01:45.49]"Um, someone just tugged⁵ on the back of my hair."
[01:49.77]That was it... she was off and running.
[01:53.73]She hurdled⁶ herself as quickly as she could
[01:57.16]over the mound⁷ of snow that was piled up
[01:59.95]from the plow⁸ and jumped onto the pavement.
[02:03.50]"Wait a minute!" I said,
[02:05.20]as I stepped next to her
[02:07.13]and turned back around to look at the land.
[02:10.21]"Just give me one minute."
[02:12.49]I could feel a "presence" very strongly at that point,
[02:16.33]but by the expression on my mom's face
[02:18.89]I knew she wouldn't want to stand near area.
