Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind

[lady_windermere]

Just read about Amber Benson's encounter with a ghost, and was wondering if anyone else had any such stories. If you wanted you could reply to my post, or post your spooky encounters at your lj.

My encounters.

1) After my grandmother died we moved into her home to look after my Uncle who didn't keep in the best of health. The first night we were there, I woke up to see my gran at my bedside, looking sadly down at me, then she disappeared.

2) After my father died, on the day of his funeral, the car smelt of whiskey (his favourite drink), despite the fact that onone in the car had drank any.

3) At Michael's funeral the smoke alarm went on and off for no reason (he was a fireman)

4) The day I was going into Uni to study for my first year exams my fathers voice said to me "We have to go, your mother needs us", I got a phone call later that day to say she died at my sisters.

5) I was woken one night by my mothers scent, and her voice told me "Don't worry, it is nothing to do with you", my nieghbours garden had been vandelised during the night.

Yes there is a theme to mine. Anyone else?

One time, during a particularly stressful time in my life in which my mother had almost died during heart surgery, I felt someone in the room with me while I was sleeping. I sat up and saw my grandmother, my mother's mother who had died 10 years earlier, standing at the bedroom door watching me. Nothing spooky like, but it was just as if she were checking in on a sleeping child. I waved at her and she nodded and walked away.

I think she was checking on me when I was scared that I would be without my mother soon.

Yes your experience seems more like mine, kinda comforting in a way, like someone on the other side cared.
