Ghost Story: “A goat in the room…”

You ask me tonight if I believe in ghosts. It sounds silly to me to say this, but yes, I believe in ghosts because I’ve seen a ghost. I want to make this clear because the last person didn’t believe me. I’m telling you this in all honesty. There are shades and shadows of souls, and they are around us all the time, but everyone cannot see them. As with my family many can see. My grandfather could, my dad, my auntie and occasionally me also, but my mom and grandma and uncle couldn’t even by looking at them directly, by me pointing out and speaking out loud about them. This caused some hilarious moments with my grandma as she became very hard of hearing. One night we were in our living room, I was sitting by the fire and she was near the bird cage, reading a book. I felt a cold draft, and felt a presence in the room. I told gram that there was a ghost. She kept thinking I said “a goat in the room.” It kind of made me laugh, and took the fear and dread from the experience.

Odysseus to the Nurse

For the old nurse, the sight of Odyseus’s scar triggers the memory of his naming. For Odysseus himself, the scar evokes powerful memories of the events of the boar hunt during which he sustained the wound. Each remembers as a story what the other remembers as a powerful moment of lived experience. Each narrative is bounded by and bonded to the other, linked through the visual mark of the scar. Their memories overlap, over the boundaries of time, space and
absence.
