Sam (not his real name, but this IS a true story) was a neighbor. He lived with his wife and their son. Sam had been in remission from a cancer but the cancer came back. The doctors said there was nothing they could do so hospice got him back into his own home to await the end.
Sam started saying that he could sometimes see “people” on the “other side”. He said he could hear them and even talk to them. Naturally this kind of talk made everyone worry about him, but we didn’t actually believe him.
That is we didn’t believe until he proved it to us! Sam would tell a spirit to knock on the wall or the ceiling. His request would be answered by distinct knocking wherever he had asked! I know this is really hard to believe unless you were there and had seen it numerous times.
As the end grew nearer Sam did a lot of unusual things like this while claiming to be communicating with the dead. Is it possible that some of us might be able to interact with the “other side” when we are that close to those doors ourselves?

In my belief being Native American this is common when a loved one is dying ( we call death bed) they will see either loved ones that passed on years ago. They are waiting to guide the loved one.
My grandmother did this before she died. She was in a hospital when we go for a visit, we enter the room she would look puzzle and she’d ask my dad “oh, where did your dad go?” Her husband had passed on over 50 years ago. Or she’d say ” My mom and dad were here, they left because you guys showed up” It made us sad that she was leaving us but glad that her loved ones were waiting for her on the other side.
