Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I had a story about dogs and a ghost that recently has just cross my mind. It is not my own experience. It’s my mother and grandmother from my father side that experience it.

My grandfather from my father side loved dogs and had quite a lot of dogs throughout his life. Almost all his relative loves dogs. There was one unusual thing that happened around his death. One of his dogs was suddenly upset as if it knew that my grandfather had just died and it let out a long, long sad howl. It loved my grandfather a lot and it felt so lonely and sad that it kept waiting next to the gate to my grandfather house for days after days. Maybe it wished that my grandfather would come home through the gate like usual. One afternoon suddenly the dogs became very excited and hoping around the gate as if they were greeting somebody included the upset one. It was suddenly very happy, but no one there. My grandmother saw this and confused, because she saw no one near there, yet the dog suddenly was so playful toward an empty air as if somebody there.

Around the time my older sister was just born and brought home, the dogs would often suddenly become happy in the afternoon around 6 pm. They would hop around and wag their tails although no one around and no one coming. Well, the dogs were happy, but not my older sister who was just a baby. She made a noise as if she were angry at something, although no one bothered her nor did she need anything. It was the same noise as if she was angry for being teased. My sister hadn’t received a baptism yet by that time.

Here is the important point. My grandfather only had sons and he wished he had a daughter. He loved little girls. My grandmother said to my mom to call someone to get rid of whatever bothered my sister, since the house was old and there were spirits residing there before, she said it might be another spirit that had come. However, my mother said “It is okay. Just let it go. It is most probably Dad who came to play with her. It’s poor of him if you drive him away. Since he has longed for a daughter he must be happy to finally have a granddaughter.” Actually, my grandmother had the same thought that it must be grandfather so that’s why the dogs were so excited when it happened. They were happy to see my grandfather coming.

After my sister received baptism it never happened again. She was always calm in the afternoon. Probably he couldn’t tease my sister again because of the baptism, poor him though. He also couldn’t come to tease his second granddaughter, me, before I got my baptism since my house already got a blessing.
