I grew up in this area of Reedley and Dinuba, California and have many things happen to me that were of the paranormal. For example, I will relate a true occurrence that took place in 1975, when I was 5 years old, before my cousin Randy was born. We lived out in the country side surrounded by alfalfa and grape fields. On a summer day in that year, I went out for walk by myself to the canal that was 1/3 of a mile away. I always enjoyed being out there alone and seeing the water flowing. On that day, I began throwing rocks into the water. I walked over the bridge and threw a very large rock into the water below. The only problem was that I had failed release the heavy stone from my grip. So I plummeted to the cool water beneath me. I struggled in the murky water. I was face up under the surface of the water. I saw the algae floating around my head. The rays of the sunlight danced above my face. I could see the blue sky through the water, but could not breath because of the water. Then suddenly I felt a hand grab my wrists and pull me up, out of the water and onto dry ground, about 6 feet (2 metres) away from the canal. As I stood their on dry land, I looked around me and saw only fields of alfalfa. "Where is the person who lifted me up out of the water?" I thought as I continued looking around. I then looked down and saw the drops of water that lead from the canal, but no footfalls! I then realized that an angel had pulled me up out of the water and carried me to safety.
