Ghost of my Grandfather
I will share with you readers another paranormal experience I had only recently. It gave me an insight into the idea that there must be an afterlife or at least some form of incarnation of humans after they have passed on. Surprisingly, I was not frightened in the least while this was happening.
It was a Thursday night. I had gotten home from school a few hours before. I had to write two papers for my English class. Afterward, I spent some time on the computer looking for more paranormal phenomena to post on this site. I went to bed around 11:00 to read for a bit. After about a few minutes of reading, I decided to turn off the lights and go to sleep. Here is where my story gets interesting.
Only a few minutes after closing my eyes, I could hear whispering somewhere in my room. I tried to listen hard, making sure it was either my parents or the television downstairs. Yet when I left my room the whispering could no longer be heard. I went back into my room, closed the door and listened. Suddenly the whispering stopped and I saw a vaguely bright outline of a figure standing next to my bed. Now I first reaction was to run away as fast as I could. Yet, I was transfixed and walked towards it.
I was around five feet away from it when I could see the face was that of my grandfather who had passed on about three years ago from cancer. He didn’t say anything and it seemed as though time had stood still. I made sure to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming. It hurt so I realized I was awake. After a few moments the figure faded away into the darkness. At first I thought maybe I had imagined it, but then I realized that the light coming into the window got brighter after the figure disappeared. So, he must have been here since it was much darker and he was blocking the window.
