The Wailing Woman

When i was a young girl of perhaps 9 or 10 I had a strange experience that ive never figured out.

We lived in a nice middle-class hood. Suburban. Tree lined streets. We had a huge swimming pool. Ya know, typical safe environment. I remember being home alone sitting in the rec room that had a sliding glass door to our backyard that was partially open. Thats where the sound came from. It was mid-afternoon. Summer. This noise started out kinda faint. It was a woman crying. Obviously i found this very odd. I thought it may have been coming from the porch of our neighbor. It increased in intensity until it sounded the the most sorrow-filled wailing. As this woman sounded as she was in deep emotional pain. Finally i had to investigate. I opened the door, went outside and slowly walked toward the sound. I looked right at the area it seemed to be coming from and no one was there. No lady. No nothing. I went back inside and it eventually stopped. Well thats mysterious, no? Lol. Actually, ive suffered much, much in my life and i often wonder if that wailing woman was me in the future? Ive certainly cryed many bitter tears. Perhaps more than most. Regardless,it was weird! Have a great day, Usm! - chicksongwriter
