The recent thread, "Strong Smell of Roses", reminds me of a strange story I heard in my family while growing up. I got the facts today from my older sister who was acquainted at the time with the woman in the following story.
In the 1950s, a young woman in our hometown got married. Within a short period of time after her wedding, she began to have episodes of deep sadness where she would just sit and cry for no reason. Then at times, she would feel extremely frightened, again without a cause. As time progressed, her mental anguish continued and it seemed that nothing could be done to help her feel well again.
In desperation for answers, she decided to visit a medium. She told the medium how sad and hopeless she felt. The medium told her to go home and cut open her bed pillows and there she would find what was giving her so much trouble. The medium also told her to discard the pillows after she found out.
She thought it was a very bizarre thing that the medium advised her to do, but went home and followed the instructions nonetheless. As she cut open her bed pillows, she found dried rosebuds buried deep within the stuffing.
The bed pillows had been a gift from her mother in law, who had never liked her. She discarded the pillows as the medium had instructed. And in no time at all, her mental anguish vanished.
As far as if the woman confronted the mother in law, or any further details, I'm sorry but my sister doesn't remember any more of this strange story than what I have recounted here.
