You’re Being Watched!
Do you ever feel like someone is watching you?

Have you ever felt the presence of someone reading over your shoulder while you were texting, only to turn around and find nothing but a strange feeling waiting for you?

If you are a rational person, the kind that believes in science, always takes their vitamins, and laughs at haunted houses — you probably dismiss these feelings as tricks of the brain.

You would also be wrong.

Even if you don’t believe in ghosts or spirits, you need to hear three things.

There will come a day when you will experience something beyond the small curiosities and oddities you have thus far encountered. When that day comes, all three of these things will come roaring back into your consciousness.

Ready?

Here they are:

1. We have learned that ghosts are either bound to a particular piece of space-time or that they are free-roaming. Through mechanisms we don’t yet understand, a spirit may be forced to haunt a house, or a mailbox, or even a passing comet. Their ethereal existence is tethered to a time and place until certain conditions are met. 2. Ghosts that are free to roam are untethered to place or time. You might think of them as itinerant spirits. They come and go as they please, and through the application of complex quantum mechanics, they can travel to any time that they once existed in. 3. The thing these itinerant spirits most want to do is to alter their past.

If you understand these three things, then it must be clear to you what is happening when you hear a whisper with no source or a strange compulsion enters your mind to change your plans.

You are being haunted by your future self — hoping to help you avoid the terrible fate that your future self has already suffered.

The horrible dilemma is that you cannot know if listening to your future self will avoid the terrible fate you have yet to suffer, or if following the ghostly advice is what precipitates your doom.

Pleasant dreams.
