Yes that is very interesting. How long have you lived in this house, if you don't mind my asking? What kind of haunting is it? Thanks for sharing!

Well it seems there is more than one. Even one of our grandsons have seen them. They seem to "live" at the end of the hallway by the back bedrooms. Just visions of them. My g-son who was about 2 or 3 at the time would look down the hallway and tell his mom, "they are looking at me again". When my Mom passed away he had not been born yet and he id'd one of them as my Mom, also the same with my father-in-law. We would ask him who it was and he would walk over and pick up their picture and point them out. There is also one small child we can't figure out.............

Default Here's another Cool/HOT story!

I find that VERY interesting! A couple years ago, I met a man, here, who asked me "Who is that little lady with you?" As I was with my DH, I kinda looked around and said "Huh?" He proceeded to describe what "she" looked like and it was an exact description of my maternal Grandmother!! To a "T"!!! And he told me that she had taken on the role of my "Guardian Angel"!!
I had "felt" and suspected that "Granny" was with me, at several times in my life, but I didn't know anyone could actually see her!

Here's some more news of the weird....
Last Tuesday, I was at work when I had an overwhelming feeling that I should go home. I had burned a stump out in my backyard, the day before and it was weighing on my mind. I did go home, didn't see anything out of the ordinary.... I went out and walked around the stump, and it "seemed" to be OUT! No smoke at all. I went in and about 10 minutes later, my neighbor came to the door and said that MY BACKYARD WAS ON FIRE!!!!!! I ran out and it had already burned all the way from the stump to my back door and caught a plant table on fire, as well!! Probably a patch approximately 50' wide and 75' long, of dry grass was burning!!! I burned the hair off my hand and arm turning on the waterhose! But, it only took a minute to put out! Had I not been home, NO ONE would have come in my backyard to put out the fire, because of my BIG dogs! No telling what might have happened!

There have actually been a couple other incidents where I had a "feeling" that turned out to warranted! (We were going to spend the night at a friends house one night, but after we layed down, I sat up and said, we have to go home! We did, and when we walked in the house, my bedroom window was open and the curtain was blowing in the breeze, but no one was in the house! We surprized them and nothing was taken! do do do do...do do do do...Twilite Zone stuff!

I could be psychic, or maybe psychotic! Or BOTH!!

They say that us girls should listen harder to our intuition. We don't get these "feelings" for nothing!
