I looked back and could still see a bit of the lady’s white dress. There was complete quiet as I explained what I was seeing, and I asked Mammy why wouldn’t the lady come out from behind the door and play with me. No one answered. Quickly Aunt Daisy drew me close to the window and pointed out the goings-on in the street below. I never gave the lady another thought!

Dancing with the Dead No. 4: Antigua No. 1 (1948 – 1951)

Then a feeling came over me that I was not alone in the room. I looked up and saw a lady standing behind the bedstead, her hands holding onto the metal rail above my pillow. She was dressed in long flowing robes of pale blue, and there was a white veil on her head. She looked down at me and smiled, but said nothing. I smiled back at her, and from that moment I felt peaceful and happy and sure that I would get well.
