Grandfather's Ghost....

[Suzy-Anne]

Okay, here's the story, my grandfather died several years ago. In '96 I think, it could have been '97 though (I'll check, I have a copy of the obituary). Anywho, its been along time since he died. Well not very long. But I've been getting weird feelings. Like the other night I woke up in the middle of the night and just felt like there was a weird presence in the room. I didn't see or feel anythng in slightest though. My granfather was in the navy and he had a little plaque-thingy with his name on it, you know the kind that are triangular and what not? So, when I woke up I was just staring at it, like there was smething about it. There's probably nothing weird or paranormal about that but it was creepy.

Then I was going down to Southern California to see my Aunt for thanksgiving and stuff. And she now lives in my grandmother and grandfather's house (he didn't pass away there, he died in a hospital due to cancer that spred to his brain). My aunt had told me that a few weeks before I came, she was on a buisness call and the doorbell started ringing. so she went to see who was there, it was no one. She though it was a bunch of kids at first. My grandfather was quite the trickster, so she got bakc to her buisness call and it started ringing nonstop. She got up very quietly, not even to make a footstep to see woh was there. Noone. A few minutes later the doorell shorted out and was broken without even a ring. Bakc to -my- story, I was sleeping in the living room and I heard footsteps up and down the hall, I got up and no one was there. I went back to sleep and I started crying, becuase I was sad that my grandfather wasn't at rest. Then I woke up again llike I did the other night and it just felt like he was in the room. And I could practically smell his calonge. It was very very weird.

Anywho, I just felt like sharing this and getting a few opinions on the matter. And like the feeling I got both nights, I get that same feeling whenever I talk(post) about the matter of my grandfather.

He was prolly trying to let you know that he'll always be with you. Sounds to me like he's trying to get your attention.
I've felt my grandmother in the room with me,even in my bed like she's holding me,and she'd never even been to my house.....ever. I've also felt my grandfathers presence. But my aunt.....she actually came to me and told me that she was alright. I did actually see her.
Don't be freaked out by your grandfather. Try talking to him,he may still think he's alive. Tell him that he's no longer on our plane and that he needs to move on,if he's freakin' you out.

Yep, if you think it's him then it probably is. My sister and I get the same thing with my Grandma all the time. I live in their house now, caring for my Grandfather. Sometimes, I just get the 'feeling' she is here and watching. Once, I felt her, then got a distinctive knock at my bedroom door, but nobody was there. I knew she wanted to talk to me, so I got out my Spirit Board and we had a nice visit.

My sister once drove all the way from out of state just to come kiss my Grandpa for Grandma, she felt that strongly. Once she got here to hold Grandpa's hand and kiss him and tell him 'I love you', all was then well. She tried to put it off, but the nagging feeling of needing to deliver that message stayed with her until she came back home to see Grandpa.

So, just go with it and when you feel he's near, talk to him aloud. I think that will proably satisfy him, he just wants to let you know he is around.

I'm not exactly afraid of him, I'm just emotional. Actually, as for getting my attention, I think I may know the reason. I never got to say good-bye. When he was in the hospital I didn't have all of my shots at the time and I had a cold so I wasn't permitted in the room with him.And I couldn't see him for months before becuase he was away on a reunion or something.

Yeah, it sounds like he's trying to tell you something. He may have been watching over you this whole time, but now he sees that perhaps his presence is needed more loudly than before for whatever reason. One time my mom and I were having a terrible fight and I was really upset. I locked myself in my room and was crying and freaking out. My grandfathers picture suddenly lept off of my wall and the frame shattered. I stopped crying and took care of the frame. My mom helped me and we got over our fight that night. I think he was there trying to settle the argument between us. We raised the both of us together (even though she's my mom, she was young when she had me) and when he died our relationship took a turn for the worse. I guess he decided to interject right there.

Right now my guardian angel has been making her (I feel feminine energy coming from it) presence known a lot. I've been going through a transition period. I just moved up to college and out of my house. Now that I'm back home for the holidays I'm living at my uncles instead of my moms. Things are hard and I think she feels her presence is needed.

There was one day that I can remember, where I was sitting in my room and I was very sad, or I was thinking a lot.

And then one of my music boxes came on. The one that was given to me by my grandmother in her will (which my parents kept until christmas so they could save money <.<;; ). Which it's only able to come on with a switch in the back.

I know my grandmother loved me a lot. She had some alzheimers when she got older and was kind of weird acting. I guess she just wanted me to know that I was loved.
