it is an actual story that truly happened to me .
In 1973 I was in Erlanger Kentucky I was 23 years old. A friend of mine several years younger
asked me if I wanted to go fishing so we got in the car & drove to an out of the way place.

I remember it well for it was the time of the year when leaves change their colors from brown to
golden brown and red leaves appear so beautifully. I remember walking through the woods and the smell
of the seasonal change made me feel like I wanted to run and dive into the leaves and inhale their scent forever.

The no trespassing sign was ignored as we crept through an opening of a fence . I noticed that the covered
ground had once been a road of many days gone by. As we walked my friend hurried to a creek bed that was almost completely dry except for a deep hole that had contained trapped fish. I myself was interested in looking at the remains of what appeared to be an old plantation. I stood there looking all around .I noticed a house that reminded me of what might had been slaves quarters. yet refused to believe such a thought for it was
unexpected.
It was a house that to me was enchanting as it sat back by itself and all the paint had long been gone
I dont even think it had ever been painted it looked kind of like non painted wood yet it was a house.

I approached the house & opened the screen door, since that was the only door that was there & went inside
I saw an old wooden table & crates & differnt things that were of no value. I also saw a newspaper that read 1959 . I was amazed it was in tact. as I looked around it hit me all at once. I was in what used to be at one time slaves quarters I immediately had chills go through me . I walked to the steps & sat down & cried . My spirit knew what was happening before I even got my senses together. I kept feeling the feeling of someone watching me like ghost. It was a feeling i just couldn't shake.

The house was covered in many rows of thorn trees which led to a narrow path that seemed to be a back entrance for people. It appeared to be right out of a story book. The thorns were at least 3 inches in length I have never seen thorns like that & I kept thinking of Christ & the crown of thorns. I just stared in amazement.

Thinking to myself well there must big a big old house someplace. what I found were the remains of an old
big once upon a time big fine house . I was thinking about the people who must had lived there at one time & how the Ohio River ran so close to the property.

As I ventured on a narrow path I stumbled onto a remarkable discovery. It was a slave cave. that revealed itself due to leaves which had fallen off trees. The tunnel led to the river and it had been constructed with a careful plan as the flat rocks which were used, were embedded as one might do a grotto.

Then it all came tumbling down on me, and as if in prayer and deep benediction I fell to my knees and I began to cry for I had realized the place where I had come . I was so moved and so overwelmed and i had no one to share my story , for who would be able to comprehend this moment of great grace which was given. No one but you,
the reader of this very moment which I am now sharing . and if it were not for this place of sanctuary for Biafrians
I may have never told this story. But suddenly I feel I am among family.
Thanks for reading my story

Truly there was the remains of a cave that once provided a means of escape

I appreciate you comments on the things that I write about.
My writings to me are like an
unnoticed book, yet when you open that book the luxury of the mind is exposed. Not just me but many unopened books from other story tellers.
I have tremendous stories to tell.
I am in the process of interviewing a priest who throughout his lifetime
has seen many miracles. I never get tired of his stories. I hope ot someday publish his wonderful stories.
Did you ever hear the story about how 16 priest survived the blast from the bomb that was dropped at Hiroshima ? It is how, just blocks away from the blast the building where the priest
lived, stayed in tact not a window broken & no radiation was found among any of those priest. It was truly amazing. Well the priest I am interviewing Fr Paul knew the priest. I found this to be amazing.
He said that the only thing they could think of as why they survived was the
Praying of The Rosary all the time.
So I said well The Rosary must be a Powerful Weapon.
Any way The stories are truly amazing.
They are based on true life miracles which I myself can relate to.
Especially the ones where angels who come so many times in our lives.
I have plenty myself & would love to hear other stories from individuals on how they escaped danger or was led to safety due to a snowstorm or burning building.
So tell me about an amazing story which you yourself have experienced. Everybody has a story to tell.

Hollywood 4 real know what I mean. True life stories, on the edge of life.
