Unusual events began occurring at home after 16-year-old Almira signed up for courses on the supernatural in the Russian republic of Bashkortostan.

The year of 1992. The Soviet Union had collapsed the previous year, and public interest was high in once-banned religion. Two Russians from Moscow showed up at Almira’s school in the city of Sibay and offered extracurricular courses on extrasensory perception.

Almira’s parents forbade Almira from going to the courses.

The Russian teachers, however, promised to reveal amazing secrets, including how to heal illnesses. Mother had suffered headaches for some time, and Almira wanted to help her. So, she secretly attended the courses. She was taught that she was surrounded by invisible good and evil forces and, if she mastered them, could perform wonders.

Alone at home, she attempted to put into practice what she was learning. She carried out a one-sided conversation with unseen forces in her home, saying that she wanted to control them.

That night, when she turned off the light to go to bed, she sensed a presence in the room.

After a while, the presence manifested itself during the day when she was at home alone. Sometimes she noticed a shadow running past a window.

She was not afraid. She thought that she was strong and was on her way to controlling an invisible force.

As time passed, she realized to her chagrin that the force was stronger than her.

She could not control it.

Frightened, she stopped turning off the lights when she went to bed at night. She was afraid to sleep. When she finally slept, she had terrifying nightmares.

In desperation, Almira asked Mother to sleep with her. But Mother refused after a few days. She said she was having nightmares.

Over the next six months, Almira’s life turned was upside down. Her grades suffered, and she seemed to be in constant conflict with teachers, friends, and her parents. She grew terrified. She didn’t know where to turn.

In life sometimes we are choosing things that are good, or obtain our satisfaction in life. We don’t listen to the voice or advice of other people, we continue to do the things that is right in our own perception but we dont know what will be the result if we engage in this kind of situation. Sometimes things that seems right in our eyes gives an innumerable danger on us, it makes us to feel that it was good but there is a dark course afterward. And this kind of situation or happenings is not just about the choice that Almira made but also such the different scenarios of our life that we yield in our own will. No one is excuse in making a mistakes choosing the things that we’ve seen that is maybe best and satisfy ourself and we can do what we want or attain what we need.

As human as we are we tend to fall like Almira not kind or the same of what she entered but the pain and struggling that she repented at last and trying to fix on her own but she cant. And we experiece also like this (right). Placing ourselve in a situation that we cant escape and asking for help to anyone to make us free and we find none. But the question is, is there someone that could help us and set us free in times of trouble?

I believe each of us undergone a lot of tribulation each moment of our life and I hope and pray that before we chose we think, ask guidance or advice so it will not be repeated and done again. May the life of Almira give us such a great lesson in life.
