Hi everyone! his was one of my most recent paranormal experiences and it occurred to me yesterday and it sure made my day!
It was late evening yesterday (11/15) and my mum had to go to the hospital to fill in for an absent doctor and she told me to stay and take care of my baby brother whom is 3. My mum is a single mother and a wonderful, gorgeous resilient person whom always tries her best to balance work and taking care of my brother and I. I’m very proud of her!
Anyway it’s been a month since the anniversary of my father’s death whom died 3 years and 6 months ago when my mum was pregnant with my brother. My dad was 26 when he died because of a heroin overdose. (My mum and dad had me when they were in their early teens) It’s been rough lately for my mum since they were always very close and loved one and another dearly and we had no idea he was depressed and decided to take his life by consuming excess heroin.
His death was rough on all of us but perhaps more so for my brother whom has to grow up without knowing the infinite love of a father. My dad always seemed a cheery, suave handsome man and I truly miss him. Sometimes I regret his death but he’s in a place where the harshness of the world can no longer perturb him and this provides my mum and I with comfort.
Anyway I digress… My apologies. When my mum left to work I took my brother to my room where I studied and finished off some extra work I had for school (Most of my friends were out so this was as good as it was going to get….). My brother sat happily on my lap playing with his toy airplane. Things went by smoothly for half an hour or so with my brother still enveloped in fascination with the toy plane. He exclaimed he was hungry so I carried him with me to the kitchen so I could get him some milk when I noticed a sudden drop in temperature. My brother started to shiver so I held him tighter and a sense of apprehension began to mount within me. I quickly grabbed the glass of milk and ran upstairs to my room. I fed him and when I returned downstairs to clean the glass I noticed a faint white light in my peripheral vision and turned and looked but nothing was there. I went upstairs to check on my brother and he was sleeping calmly on my bed.
I continued to work for a couple of hours and I received a call from my mum telling me that her shift was going to be an all-nighter. It was getting quite late (about early morning) and I decided to call it a night and went to brush my teeth. Once again I noticed the strange light in my peripheral vision but this time it was stronger and I no longer felt fearful. It was rather peaceful and soothing. It disappeared when I turned to look at it. As I ascended the length of the hallway to my bedroom I noticed the white light and when I turned and looked into my room, I saw my dad sitting on my bed looking down on my brother whom slept with a smile on his face. My dad turned and looked at me and said ‘Don’t worry…He’s safe and sound’ and he smiled and said ‘I love you too both and don’t you ever forget it’… I was speechless for a while because this was the 1st time I ever saw my dad in his ethereal form since he died. I’ve felt his comforting presence on numerous occasions though. After a while he got up and walked out of the room and the white light dissipated into nothingness. His presence brought forth such a strong powerful energy that provided peace and tranquility for my brother and I for the duration of the night as we slept together.
It was only this morning when I was able to properly contemplate the events and even as I was writing this I got teary. I miss him heaps and will always love him!! I’m no stranger to paranormal experiences and have had my fair share of the bad ones and good ones but this by far was probably my best. I’m glad that my dad is still well and truly alive in my life and my brother’s life and I guess this goes to show that a parent and a loved one is always there for you even after death.
Thank you so much for reading this! With sincerity Alpha.

Alpha, your father did NOT kill himself, not on Purpose anyway, because people that commit suicide for selfish reasons go to Hell, And this just isnt the case with your Father. Also, WHY and HOW did he get addicted to such an Evil thing? And WHY didnt he get help? Why didnt any of you try to get him some help? Theres a lot of things i dont understand, dont get me wrong, i DO beleive your story. Theres just a lot of unanswered questions. And WHERE did he get the Heroin? Was there an investigation into any of this at all? It might have been foul play.
WOW! what a great Story I am much older than You But when I was 17, My Mom Commited Suicide, and I was really shocked I did not expect that to happen at all. I really grew up fast and became painfully aware of the cruelties of life like You have. But what kept Me on track was the love of family members and close friends. I once woke from a nap on My birthday ,and felt Her presence years later I sort of saw an outline of Her and two others I could not tell who. I do not think that that we were put here to take our own lives, but were intended to ride out the hard times which make us stronger. But I also think that we can be forgiven too, I have forgiven Her. Good Luck, I think You are doing well.
that was a great experience alpha although i can feel sorrow and sadness because it was too early for your father to leave you and your little brother, but then im happy for you that despite of not having a father physically you tend to be a good person just be happy that even if he passed away you know your self that he will always be there because he loves you, your mom and your little brother i wish you all the happiness and love….. you will do fine GOD bless you
i believe in ur story maybe ur dad luves u very much
this is a gr8 experience.. though it feels sad to knw tht u lost ur father at a young age .. but u should also be happy ht he loves u and ur borther so much …
may god bless you … byee tc
That was a great story alpha although why did your dad take heroin? was it because he did not like living or something. dont get me wrong. i truely beleive that this story is real. did you have the same experience again meaning did you see your dad again? anyways this was realy emotional story and i feel sad for you to lose your dad,i know how you feel one can know what kind of sorrow you must have felt when you think of it please reply
First off, thx u everyone for your kind comments and i’m truly ecstatic that you enjoyed reading this experience. It’s always a pleasure to share stories to such a kind, loving community of avid readers!!
To warrior priestess:
Firstly, i’d like to say it’s great to have you back again and i’m glad to hear that you are well and sound!! Your intelligent comments are a fountain of paranormal and ethical wisdom.
As for my dad…they conducted an autopsy on his corpse and they found traces of heroin and also found stress hormones shared by men suffering from depression. The investigation could have been done further but my mum was crestfallen and just couldn’t take it any more so she decided to close it… It did seem suspicious but we moved on…
They came to the conclusion that he took heroin in order to kill himself because of his depression. The investigators said that they’ve conducted cases similar to these all the time and they’ve all occurred in similar circumstances.
To Aditya:
Thx u so much for ur kind comment! I appreciate it!
I never saw him again since that day in his spiritual form and i also haven’t felt his presence. I guess he came over to show me that he was there and still was the same loving caring man he always was…. I miss him alot… and i do feel kinda sad when i think about it but he’s in a place where the world can’t hurt him =)
Alpha, i would have to say that there was foul-play involved with this. Visit the Forgotten Jungle when you get the time and click on Monsters and Strange Creatures… you’ll see why i havent replied to your latest question…
Also, Where was your father’s body found? And in what position/condition? Was the Herion Ingested Orally, or was it Shot into him Interveinally? (Through a needle in the veins) Someone may have poisoned him, or tricked him into taking Heroin. I Sincerely doubt he committed intentional Suicide. Also, what year did this happen in?
Warrior Priestess
Thx you so much for ur concern! U r a wonderful person and i will take it into consideration.
As for the heroin my dad smoked it…
but with all respect i’d prefer your queries about my dad to be left aside…
no offence to you of course!!!
With much respect
Alpha!
Oh, Just in case you are wondering how i know he smoked it Warrior Priestess… The investigators found a pipe in which the heroin was placed and lit….
It was a funny wiggly shape… The pipe contained residues collected from the heroin when it was lit.
The investigators told my mum that this was the most probable outcome…
I hope this satisfies any further queries you may have about the death of my father.
Once again, i’d like to say that your concern touches my heart =)
This story is brilliant! It was actually quite moving! I’m so glad your dad got to see your little brother and got to tell you he loves you!
hey Alpha im sorry about the loss of your father
i know how it feels, i watched my dad die and held his hand til the paramedics arrived it will be 4 years on 19th dec.
your story was so touching that i started wanting my dad back (my eyes are leaking now) but just like you he came to visit 24hours later i was sleeping next to my mum on his side of the bed when i woke up to a tight tight tight squeeze and tingly feeling i looked to my mums side thinking it was her (which is imposible she isnt that strong at all) and her back was towards me. i realized it was my dad and said goodbye and i love you then i heard footsteps leaving the room.
i too have had my own paranormal experiences they have seemed to move in with us lol
OMG, i’ve only just read this and talk about touching, you almost had me in tears. What a great ending to a really sad story. You must feel so privaleged to have witnessed your dad like this, it would so help to get you over your loss i imagine. That part i am glad about for you.
I also like how you write, it is a joy to read, almost with a touch of the poetic. I’d love to read other experiences you have had, if you could point me in the right direction if you have already posted, it would be appreciated.
I hope you don’t mind Alpha, but I’d like to give you my opinion on your fathers death. Well, i sincerely and absolutely get the strongest of feelings that he didn’t commit suicide. I think it was by accidental overdose. Not one inch of my fibres feel that he died intentionally. I’m not just saying this to try and make you feel better, i just get a sense that it was accidental. Why the heck would he want to leave such a lovely sounding family anyway, just doesn’t make sense, AT ALL.
Take care x
I have read this story and have got so much respect for you guys…I have had the same experience…my dad dad 7 years ago..and i miss him so dearly…My heart still has a part missing..because he meant the world to me..But now i know he is in a better place..and before he passed he told my mom to tell us that he loved us and for us to never forget it and all that he wanted was for us to be happy. I just want to send my thoughts out to you because i know how it feels to go through the terrible loss of a loved one… I have had my own experiences..but dad will always be in my heart..He will never be gone to me..He may not be to where I can touch him..But I will always be able to talk to him when I need someone to talk to and I know he will be there to listen…once again..Thanks for the story..and Thanks to you for sharing it with us..It was such an amazing story…:)
~*~ Take Care ~*~
I am really sorry about ur father,i no he loves u,but how did he kill himself and come back? I know that when u commit suicide u go to hell!? i dont think thats ur father,sorry to say this but i really dont believe its ur father,l8r
Thx u Jackie!! That was very sweet of you!! =)
Here’s a link to another ghost story i posted on this site. I’ve had plenty of experiences but when i first found this site i felt reluctant to post on it since most other sites i tried posting on had alot of rude skeptics in it!!!
http://www.trueghosttales.com/paranormal/my-best-friends-difficult-time-with-boyfriends-suicide/
and i appreciate what you said about my dad alot!! I hope it was only an accidental overdose…but the doctors said there were hormones in his blood synonymous to those commonly found in overstressed/depressed males. My dad had a rough childhood… I won’t go into it but…. i hope you understand. =)
With alot of respect Alpha =)
I’m touched with your story Alpha. You take good care of yourself and your family. Be safe.
Alpha, thanks for the link which i have actually read, but thanks anyway.
Just one more point on your dads death, i think the doctors are wrong to state that he committed suicide just because of depression and stress hormones. If i were to die now, then they would probably also find high levels because i’m always highly stressed at the moment. So if they didn’t know how i died, would they automatically jump to the conclusion it was suicide. I think that because your dad was taking heroin, people just somehow link the two together don’t they ? I don’t think the doctors would ever know 100% what really happened. Your dad seemed to have alot to live for with the love of his family, it just doesn’t ring true that he died intentionally.
I’m also thinking that it’s not at all nice for some to say that suicides go to hell, especially to you in these circumstances. No one knows for sure that this happens, i personally don’t think that suicides go to hell.
Wow..Jackie
Ur concern is incredibly touching. You are a wonderful person, bless you!
I never thought of it that way… It’s so uncanny how the most obvious of possibilities can escape people’s minds.
What you said made alot of sense and it could explain why my dad died. The presence of stress hormones doesn’t necessarily imply a suicide, even if it was through drug intake which people often stereotypically link together but could alternatively suggest an accidental overdose. The authorities probably chose to say it was suicide because of the numerous other cases they conducted occurring in similar circumstances.
It also explains why my dad came back, otherwise he would have been condemned to eternity in hell as suggested by others…
This just completely escaped my mind… i guess i was blinded by fear for my dad…
Thx alot Jackie. That meant alot to me…
Take care!! =)
To Ksking: Even in the spiritual world, it would be rather bizarre having a stranger ghost come up to you and your sibling, saying ‘i love you and don’t you ever forget it’!!!!!!
That is so cool
Alpha,
you don’t need to thank me, I only said what i felt and that’s all. x
girl..ur dad loves you very much..and im sure he came and visited you just to show you that he was still there and that he is always watching over you and ur brother. i hope he comes back soon and makes ur day again..
Warior Priestess,
take care everyone
I know that you are very curious about this story, but (from having my 5 month old sister die when i was 7) this doesn’t help. I have experienced this first hand. Because when I returned back to my class after about a week after my sisters death My teacher sat me in the middle of a circle(of my young classmate) and let them drill me on my sisters death for about 35 minutes. It was basically torture…and because of this i don’t remember 1-2 and half about 3rd grade. I try to remember but I can’t. And i’m sorry if i come off as rude, but this story really touched me…and I know that some of the comments are probably hard for Jesse(Alpha) to read and reply. Anyways sorry about your father (Alpha) and he loves you no matter what
Why do people keep calling me ‘girl’? …
I’m a guy…
anyway, thanks for your comment Carly. I appreciate it nonetheless
and i’m so sorry about the loss of your 5 month old sister!! I wouldn’t know what to do if i lost my brother…
It’s awful to lose loved ones.
Stay strong Cierra..
I have not seen a ghost of my father but true signs of him. My Father and I were very close and he had died from alcoholism when I was 8. When I was 11, I was separating small heart shaped candies with comments on them for Valentine’s Day. Within the candies reading Love, Nice, Best Friend, one of the candies said, “Walking In The Rain” which is my Father’s Indian name Nau’shmanee meaning walking in the rain.
