Hello and welcome to Mini Episode 152 of Real Life Course Stories, and I have six

spooky stories for you today and the last story comes from the 4th of November 2021,

and story number one comes from Belinda. My younger brother is one of the least spiritual

people I've ever met. A yawi could chase him out of the bush and he'd be googling to see

what sort of monkey it was. Definitely 100% not psychic. However, when he was a small child he had

an imaginary friend called Red Haired Harry the Third. My parents thought this was a funny name and

laughed it off. My brother was adamant that he was Red Haired Harry the Third. He would get angry

if we didn't say his full name. He was tall, had a red beard and had blue eyes. It was oddly

specific but kids are weird like that. After a while he stopped playing with his imaginary friend

and everybody moved on. Fast forward 20 years. I was in an abusive relationship and was deeply

unhappy. That all changed when I got into my honors year and had to do an intensive unit,

which was run on a different university campus to the one that I usually went to.

I was just settling in for the first lecture when this tall, gorgeous, red-headed,

bearded blue-eyed man walked in. I texted my friend and joked that my future husband was in the room.

We chatted and hung out on our lunch break, which is when I found out that his name was Harry.

After the intensive was over we didn't contact each other, but meeting Harry was the

jolt that I needed to help me escape from the abusive ex. I had no intention of getting into

another relationship. I just wanted to enjoy my freedom, my work and study. At the next intensive

unit six months later, I met Prince Harry again. Only now we were both single. Spacks, flu,

and we began dating. It all felt so comfortable and supportive, it was amazing and so precious.

It felt like it was meant to be. The first time I told my mum about him, she gasped and started

freaking out. I couldn't understand what the matter was until she managed to get out.
