Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Throughout my childhood I remembered experiencing various paranormal encounters. But there is one that really stands out in my mind. I must have been 6 or 7 years old when this encounter happened. My grandmother died about 4 years before this happened. I was in Costa Rica in my grandmother’s house which was now my aunt’s house. My brother and my aunt were in the kitchen and I was playing with some toy cars that I had left in the house before my mom, my brother, and me moved to New York.We came to Costa Rica to visit for the summer.

My brother told me that it was time for me to go to sleep,so I brushed my teeth and went upstairs to the room me and my brother shared. I got in my bed and slowly dazed off. When I started to feel that there was a presence watching me. I suddenly open my eyes to see who was there. What I saw next really changed me forever. I saw a white figure in the hallway that led to my aunt’s room. It looked human like but with a strong white light behind it. It looked like an angel because I made out some sort of wing detail in my memory. But I couldn’t see it’s face. Due to my tender age I didn’t know what it was. I stared at it for a moment then I got scared. I saw that it was moving toward me and so I got even more scared.

I started screaming for my brother. I heard as he came up the stairs and a second before he got to the room,the angel figure vanished into thin air in a sort of dust. I didn’t make anything of it and the next day I didn’t remember the incident. But a few years later my mom told me how when my grandmother died she was calling out my name. This came as a shock to me as I suddenly figured  out that my grandmother’s heavenly spirit came to visit me. Then I remembered how I could make out my grandmother’s face on the figure. I also remembered how it called out my name. This is the strangest thing that has happened to me. I have never seen her again. Ever since I have always believed in ghosts and spirits.
