Hello Friends! 👋 Forgive me for such a long absence. There’s a simple explanation: I’ve taken on too much in the last couple of months. I’ve been working toward earning an editing certificate, applying that knowledge to Book 4 in The Book of Eve Series
I was there in August 2023, my husband and I were attending his cousins wedding that week. We were staying with his other cousin, who lives on Ridgewood so we walked over. We are from Winnipeg so we thought the place was super cool.
First we visited the smaller chapel, I had an intense feeling like I wasn't safe and I felt like someone was watching me. It was eerie and I didn't want to stay long. We left almost immediately...
Then we visited the Oratory, I initally didn't feel a whole lot, I think i was still distracted by the eerieness of the smaller chapel. It took us a while to get to the main area. But when we walked into the large chapel part of the oratory. I felt a huge wave of joy and happiness it was so overwhelming. It was like the exact opposite feeling of what I felt in the small chapel.
I am not religious but my Babcia (Polish grandmother) was extremely religious and I am pretty sure I could feel her presence. I have never felt like that before. I almost felt like i was in a dream state.
Then we visited the garden area behind the oratory ... I also felt uneasy. Like someone was watching me and I actually felt sick to my stomach.
I didn't see anything weird but the feelings were so overwhelming.
Karleigh! What an experience! Thank you for sharing.
I understand entirely, especially that dream state feeling (although it didn't happen at the oratory). Although you didn't see anything weird, I firmly believe that how a place makes you feel is equally as valid an experience.
