My Fear Of Water
Add this post to your list of favorites!I’ve always had a terrible fear of being submerged completely in water. Not that I can’t swim or anything. My dad made me learn; he said I almost drowned when I was really young.
I was afraid of it because, for as long as I can remember, whenever I am under water and look up at the surface I see a woman reaching down to me with a warm smile, with glowing golden hair and dark blue eyes. Even if its just in a bathtub. It always happened, it was just normal for me, but i never got used to it.
It was unnerving, but also soothing at the same time. She always made me feel like it was okay. I still avoided it, though, because I was just a kid and it was really freaky.
I never told my dad about it as a kid, but I did ask him about my mom. He never wanted to talk about her. Sometimes he even got mad at me for trying too hard to bring it up.
It was only recently that I described this apparition to him. He nearly drove into a telephone pole; obviously he knew something. I asked him, again, about my mom. He still would say much, except that she died when I was very young, and that she loved me very much. He also admitted that her hair and eyes were those colors, just like mine.
So I did some research on my own, looking up her name for myself on my birth certificate and trying to find any references I could, any news clips about a boy nearly drowning, any thing. I mostly wanted a picture, something I could match to my guardian angel.
Today, buried in our town library, I found it.
WINCHESTER: Marie Withie, 28, drowned to death yesterday evening after climbing a razerwire fence and fleeing to a nearby resevoir. A funeral is scheduled by her family for the 25th. Marie was institutionalized just six months ago, after being found “not guilty” of attempted murder on grounds of insanity. Her husband Daniel Withie had acted quickly enough to rescue their infant child when she was found trying to drown him in a bathtub.

Technically you just did… XD
But yeah, I understand what you mean pastalover; this was definitely… “different” in the simplest of terms.
It’s amazing how stories like this haven’t been published yet in some kind of book.
You know what would be a good idea, to sell the official “Creepypasta Storytime” book, now that would be a best seller nonetheless.
I bet, if the owner of this site had enough money and tried to sell the “Book of Creepypasta” with all the most loved stories on here; I’m sure at least 500+ copies would be sold in a matter of days.

I think I’ve heard of this actually happening before. That adds doublepluscreepy to it.

Yeah, I think this did happen. Or at least I’ve heard of some chick trying to drown her kid but the dad saved the kid.
Yes, Skwirral, that does add doublepluscreepy to this pasta.

I suspect that our friend Unknowndumdum did not recognize your comment as a 1984 reference. I appreciated it, at least.

Good read…I really didn’t expect the ending. And it’s written in a good style!

This is totally reminiscent of pilot episode of Supernatural. Where the main characters have the last name Winchester.

You know, this may be one of the best delivered creepypastas I’ve read.
Importantly, it’s believeable. We’ve all heard stories like this, but the part that really makes it work is the subtle twist at the very end. It lets all the creepiness happen in your mind, which is capable of more terrifying imagery than any amount of writing could ever produce.

I indeed expected along the lines of “She was drowned”, and was a guardian angel, but not trying to fucking kill him.
