Your body is an incredibly bizarre machine.

Righto. So a couple years ago I took a Myths and Legends class for uni. The lecturer was this really incredible guy. Loved history. Dressed, everyday, to the nines. Top hat, waistcoat, leather shoes etc. In one of the introductory classes he had us share stories we had heard, local myths and legends from the towns we grew up in. I was studying in Ballarat, an Australian town with a rich ghost history and so it made sense that a lot of people had answers. This one girl, however, grew up in a small rural town a couple hours away and talked about the ghost she knew of from when she was in high school. Every night, at the same time of night (about 3am), people recounted seeing a Victorian man walk across the golf field. This one was particularly interesting because she had seen herself. That is, where other people had just heard these stories, she knew that what had been talked about was real.

This was when he turned red. It had turned out that when he was studying for his undergrad he was living in this particular town. Not many people knew him because he didn’t grow up there. He would spend countless nights up late working and so to wind would go on long late night walks. At 3am, every night. In the full garb he wore everyday.

hi, i’m sorry, i know posts like this are ugly and i reallY REALLY hate asking for help… like this makes me SO incredibly uncomfortable, but my mom got diagnosed with stomach cancer in January 2019 and we cannot afford the treatments in any way, shape or form… she already has medical bills over 50k and hasn’t even had any procedures done… that is all from diagnostic testing and one (1) hospital stay for three nights…

so someone in our community forced her to make a gofundme and take pictures for it because she hates asking for help too, but we don’t know what else to do… this whole thing has been so draining and emotional for her, but also for all of us…

anyways… if anyone has even a couple of dollars to throw in, it would really mean everything to us, but if not i totally get it. having money issues is my whole life lol… but please share if you can!! PLEASE! this really means everything to me and my mom!! thank you all so much!! 😭

here is the story from the local paper published today (5/3/19) covering a story on her as well, if you wanted more info/updates/verification/etc!!!!
