Spirited Visit from a Loved One - Massachusetts, 2007

This week’s story was sent in to us by a listener who had an interesting experience after their grandfather’s death.

I'll give a little background. I was 10 years old living in Massachusetts the year was 2006 when my grandfather died of a heart attack. I remember thinking that it was not real. Mostly because I never experienced death before that. But we ended up going to his wake and the funeral. It was an open casket wake. I saw his face, but it still did not feel real.

Fast forward one year from the day my grandfather died in April 2006. I was sleeping in my bed, when out of nowhere my hot wheels car shot through the room from my dresser. No one else was in the room, but me. To make matters worse, simultaneously I heard a commotion in my parents room. I ran over there scared. When I got to their room they were both standing over my grandfather's hat. They had hung it up on the wall after he died as a memorial for him. Apparently it had fallen despite it being hung on the wall for almost a whole year without it falling.

At that moment I knew in my heart that it was my grandfather sending a sign to us that he was there with us. Despite the fact that I loved my grandfather it did not make me feel at ease thinking he was roaming around our house moving things. After that I did not know if I should tell anyone this story because I was not sure if anyone would believe me. I have no evidence of it happening. Other than my parents possibly remembering it happening. And the idea of it happening terrified me. So I did not tell much of anyone. But now I do not care if any one believes and it has been so long to terrify anymore.

In three days it will be 17 years since he died. May he rest in peace.

Big thank you to the listener who sent us this story. I really enjoyed it! It gives the same kind of good vibes that story we did a few weeks back Tucked in By a Spirit. The spirit in both of these didn’t seem to want to do anything malicious. Just peaceful and kind of sweet sounding.
