have seen and heard someone walking around in my house, and I'm pretty sure it's my grandma watching over me making sure everything is all right.
Father watching over me
Royse City, Texas
My father and I have had a rocky relationship throughout my childhood, up to adulthood. But, when I turned 25 he came back into my life.
To make a long story short, he came home to Texas to live with my grandma in a hospice to pretty much die at home. They had tried everything, but told us he just needed to be in a comatose state.
The first ghost sighting I had with him was when I left him on the day he passed away. I was at home and was all alone in my room watching TV. I was under the covers and I could feel someone sitting on my blanket. I looked up to see a white mist. I wasn't sure who it was at first. I sat up and put my glasses on and it was my father.
At first I was like, you can't be here. You are supposed to be at grandmas in bed! He just looked at me and leaned down, and it was like he was hugging me. It got cold for like three second and then he disappeared!
Then around midnight my grandma called me to tell me that he had passed away. I said, "I know grams -- I saw him!" She was blown away because she had told me the same story of what happened to her and our stories matched!
Now other things have happened since then, because it's only been a year and I'm still grieving. But, things happen that I can't explain.
I had a friend named Tim who died in combat over in Iraq and I was tore up about that. So, between him and my father, I think they are both watching Over me.
There will be nights when I'll have the remote on my bed far away from me and my TV will turn off and then on again. And I'll have fun -- Ill say, "dad or Tim, if that is you, can you turn on the TV again?" -- and the TV will turn on!
One night I was taking a bath and the lights flickered. There was no bad weather, but the lights flickered and then went off. Now, that freaked me out because I'm afraid of the dark!
Another incident was when I was driving in my car to go shopping and the song I played at my father's funeral was on the radio. On certain occasions it would come on, but only when by myself.
Also, it would be late at night and I would get up to get something to drink and I would see a bright ball of light just zoom past me. One night after the bright ball zoomed past I saw a black figure standing by my pantry door and just casually walk around the corner down the hall and disappear. Now we have a new home only 5 years old, but I heard spirits can follow you and find you wherever u go. But, I don't know.
I have other stories but that is usually what happens on a normal basis. Oh, and one last thing... I'll be laying in bed -- and this is every night -- I will get the feeling that I'm being watched over! But, I don't get scared because I think and hope it's my dad. I saved his ashes in a little sealed wooden box on my nightstand with the angel that points straight to me and watches over me! That angel has moved from on top of his ashes box to the night stand besides my bed and it would face toward me!
Lower Lake Lane
Magnolia, Texas
This all occurs in a house in Magnolia, Texas. I believe the house had two ghosts; there was a child ghost, and an older male ghost.
My younger sister and I shared a room that had a vanity and mirrored backsplash with which you could see down the hallway into another bedroom. (This used to be the master bedroom before my parents built onto the house.) We both had seen at separate times the light being turned off and on in the bedroom at the end of the hall. We also would play with our toys and be looking for a particular part of a set and could not find it. Moments later the item we were looking for would simply be sitting in the middle of our toys with all other toys moved in a circle around it.
Both things my sister and I did not discuss until we were older. When we were younger, we tried
