Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

When I was younger my sister passed away. Of course like anyone else I was beyond sad. I had just turned 12 like a month before and about 2 month before she died my dad passed away also. I can’t think of any word to describe how I felt, and sometimes still feel. Anyway to my story.

My sister and I shared a room forever and after she died it was never the same.  Our room was really big with a oddly placed closet behind the door. My bed was on the far end across from the closet. It was about 2 weeks after my sister had died (I don’t think I said how, she was hit by a car) and I couldn’t sleep. I had a necklace that had a book like charm on it hanging on the door of the closet. I thought I heard it move but was so tired I just brushed it off as nothing. I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep when I saw the light coming from the closet.

I was a little freaked out because there was no light in the closet. I must have stared at it for half an hour. Finally I got so scared I began to cry. I couldn’t stop looking at the light something was telling me to watch it. Then the door opened. The light was really bright for 3 seconds or so until my sister came walking out like nothing. My heart sniped a beat!

I had a million things to say and ask, but I couldn’t talk. She sat down on the edge of my bed and told me, “It’s ok Kim, I’m ok and everyone will be ok.” I was in shock I think for a while. With everything I could have said I said nothing as she sat on the end of my bed.

After what felt like hours of us staring at each other she got up and walked towards the closet and before she faded away told me she loved me. My whole life I heard her say that maybe twice. After I realized what happened I got up and ran down the hall to my moms room and told her what happened, what I had just saw.

She told me I was dreaming and to go back to bed. I started to get mad at her that she didn’t believe me. I had woke up my grandma and she came in and told me to get my blanket and pillow and come in her room. After I got all my stuff in there she told me that she believed me. She told me that earlier that week she saw my sister with the same light walking down the hall peaking in her door.

My grandma, who is now passed, told me something that I will never forget, she told me sometimes when people die suddenly they choose to walk with the living. Since she died young she had unfinished business. Since she said that I have been interested in ghosts and the paranormal.

I am now grown with a baby girl of my own and a few weeks after she was born I had a couple of visitors that I believe to be my sister and grandma. Both times in the baby’s room both the same light. One of them moved the shades, I’m sure it was my sister being funny. I am glad that I got to see things that people spend a lifetime trying to see. What better way to know that these type of things do happen then to be visited by you passed relatives.
