I am a firm believer in spirits and angels and ghosts. Good and bad.

When we moved into the apt in Tampa while getting settled my son (3 at the time) kept going into his closet and talking to someone. and not like he was talking to someone that was just imagination. he was answering questions, and using words we never used with him because he would not be able to pronounce them. When asked who he was talking to, he said there was a man in his closet like papa (his grandfather) who sings him christmas songs. He even started singing christmas songs (middle of april) that we never played.

We got a kitten about 18 months ago, but it was sickly, and ended up passing away one day when we were all out. we found him laying on our bed, on my pillow. he liked sleeping right next to my head when he was alive. our other cat, elwood, hated him because he was new. even after he passed we would see a kitten run down the hallway to the master bedroom. And at night I would feel a purring breath next to my face, wake up and have elwood asleep by my feet, not my head.

When my grandmother passed my DH and I were living together but not married. We were having sex one evening (i know...shocking!) and heard "Oh my!" clear as a bell. We both were very startled and looked around. We thought someone had actually come into the house and into our room, but Elwood (faithfull and trusty) was asleep right in front of the shut door. No one would have come in and left him undisturbed. I thought the TV might have made the noise, but it was off completely. It wasn't like a whisper, it was very clear and in the room with us. I got a call about an hour later from my mother that my grandmother had died. my mother told me her last words were "Oh My!" I still have not told my mom. Kind of embarassing that your grandma's ghost comes to say good bye and you are getting busy with your man.

When my daughter was born her umbilical cord was attached to the water bag and tore during delivery. Both my daughter and I were losing lots and lots of blood. The doctor carved me up down there, reached in, and grabbed her. I was not even fully dialated. Emily's heart had stopped. It was a scary situation. They rushed her to the table and started working to revive her. She began breathing and her heart started after less than a minute. I am still not even sure what they did with her, as I was not allowed to have her til the next day, but they gave me a transfusion for the lost blood. We found out a few days later that Dh's grandmother, who had been in an almost coma from a stroke for the last 3 years, woke up completely cognisent and with full motor skills and told dh's mom that she was right. We had a girl. Then she died.

When I was a kid I used to ride with my mom to work in hawaii before having a friend's mom take me to school. Every morning we would drive along this stretch of road near a sugar cane field. One morning there was terrible traffic, and we found out a teenage boy had been hit by a car and died. A few times after that occasionally we would see a teenage boy walking along the road minding his own business and a few blocks after passing him we would see him walking in the other direction coming towards us. We would pass him without event. He never looked up or strayed from his path. it was quite spooky for me.

there are more but i will share at a later date. :)
