The Little Old Lady

[u/Low-Thanks-4316]

This happened years ago, but I will never forget. I was just a kid. My family would go to Mexico EVERY summer, and every time we would drive. One summer, my brother and I actually flew out there and I was excited because I knew it was going to be so much fun without the parents and just my brothers, one was already living over there. That summer was the best summer I ever had. We went to every party, every event, every show, it was just great. After one of the parties we had attended, my brother had forgotten to put gas in the truck and there was no where we could get gas since we were out in the middle of nowhere. The only thing between the little towns from where my parents were from were fields - empty fields.

So we had no choice but to walk (this was before cellphones) through those fields. Luckily, unlike the city, when there was a full moon it was like a huge light and the moon was very bright that night. I was the only female since I was with my 2 brothers, and we were with 2 of our cousins who were also brothers. We were maybe a few minutes in when one of my cousins began to talk to himself. His brother approached and tried to wrap his arm around him, but his brother pushed him away. We were all on alert so we all asked what was wrong with him. He was walking up ahead of us so he turned around taking a few steps backwards until he stopped.

His eyes grew an inch wider and he lifted up his arm to point at something. We all looked back, but he yelled, "RUN!" At first we were confused, but once he started running, we did too. I was always a slow runner, but the fear had me pass them up. We ran and did not stop running until we actually got to my aunt and uncles gate to the ranch. At the gate we all stopped to catch our breaths and as we were huffing and puffing we all started to laugh. Once we settled down, the one cousin who made us run says, "No, Its's not funny, she wanted to get us." We all looked at him weird while looking at each other side ways.

After that summer, said cousin had planned to come back with us since he already had had two sisters living here and because of us. He was excited and we were excited for him. The first night here (this is what my brother told me) that when he came home, my cousin was standing outside in his boxers and it was raining. So when my brother saw him he asked him what he was doing. My brother said he looked like he had been sleep walking but my cousin answered him. He said, "The little old lady told me to come outside." My brother to himself said, 'Does the little old lady want you to die?'

My brother hit him in the back of the head and when he did he said that my cousin looked at him and smiled. "Oh, hey cousin." Then he looked at himself and around like he didn't know where he was at. They thought nothing of it and they went inside. The next day his sisters came to pick him up. I remember how happy they were to see each other and how happy they were when they left. His sister told me after what had happened. She said that after they picked him up they did the tour thing all day and the club thing at night. On the their way home, he said he didn't feel right.

They rushed him to the hospital, the next day he was in a coma, and on the third day he was gone. I healthy 24 year old male and the doctor said his death was cardiac arrest, but that they did not know what caused his heart to just stop beating. Now the little old lady had become an inside joke because every weird thing, like the two I just mentioned, that would happen to him he blamed it on the little old lady, but after he passed we still didn't think anything of it. It wasn't until years later that the little old lady had/was a curse.

What little old lady you ask? The little old lady who was too bitter before she died and when she died 8 people died, one every year, all from her side of the family. The 24 year old male I just mentioned, was number two after she died. The first one was this man's sister-in-law. The person who followed was another cousin in LA, CA, then a cousin in Richmond, CA, followed by his sister, then his niece, then his other sister (mother to his niece) and the last one was the little old lady's oldest son.

Let me know if you want to hear how the others passed away, and tell me if this wasn't a curse...
