For Those Who Are Home Alone.. Please Take Note

Something for you to know and be aware of. I'm pretty sure you've received chains of e-mails stating that so-and-so was stopped by strangers, or so-and-so was 'hypnotized' into giving in their valuable stuffs to unsuspecting strangers. It actually happened to Mum. Well.. Almost, actually. Thank God!

It happened this morning. Mum was home alone as usual, when the doorbell rang. She walked upstairs towards the main door. As we have a grilled door right after that, she opened the main door to take a peek at who was by the wooden gate. She couldn't see anyone, so she opened the grilled door. Then she saw a Punjabi guy, very smartly dressed. He didn't speak, but she could clearly see his fingers were moving, like how monks move their fingers when they pray. Mum sensed a very strong headache, and she instantly locked the grilled door and the main door. As she tried to walk downstairs to the living room, she felt a 'pull', like, telling her to go back up and open the doors. Thank God that she listened to her inner voice, that told her to keep walking downstairs, and tried to get herself distracted by doing some washing. The headache was still there, but she kept washing until it stopped, which was almost an hour later.

Now, it's not often that headaches would appear just like that, and it's not that she was being overly sensitive about it. But, it's just so suspicious about that guy. What was he doing? Why wasn't he speaking? If he was doing door-to-door sales or doing surveys, he would have instantly said something when Mum opened the door. But why was he silent, and moving his fingers? Recalling all those e-mails about people 'hypnotizing' someone else, and unconsciously they open the doors, then gave them their money, jewellery and stuffs like that, it's really scary. I mean, Mum's alone at home. What if she didn't listen to her inner voice? It's really frightening. I really thank God for keeping Mum safe. There's been too many people ringing our doorbells, especially when Mum's home alone. I told her not to open any doors to anyone at all, not even the postman. Even if it's someone we know, they'll surely call us first, right.

It's really scary. People have resorted to these methods to lure innocent people. I just hope that you take this things seriously, take precautions, especially if your family members are home alone.
