One night shortly after my father died, my mother woke up during the night to see him by the bed smiling at her.
My brother and sister-in-law had a house in up state Vermont that they swear is haunted. My brother says he was going thru the livingroom to go outside when he saw a woman sitting on the couch. He said he could see the pattern of the couch thru her. Their pets would be laying on the floor and move their heads as if watching something or someone walking by.
One of my nieces had her bedroom in the basement. One night she went to bed and heard someone telling her she had to do something. Thinking it was her sister she said she would do it in the morning. Then she realized her sister hadn't returned home from work yet and went upstairs to sleep on the couch. From the couch, she could see the basement door and saw a light coming up the stairs. Before getting to the top, it disappeared. My brother and his wife had gone to the family camp for the weekend when this happened. That same night, my brother saw a light going around the outside of the camp.
Another niece, the sister of the one mentioned above had a picture taken on the school bus of her and a friend. In the picture, it showed her, her friend and a little boy in the seat behind them. When the picture was taken, the seat behind them was empty. Another time, she was babysitting at someones house. The little girl walked into the room and pointed at a spot next to my niece on the couch. On the couch next to her was the little boy from the picture.
One time after my father died, my son was home by himself at the apartment we were living in. He was in the bedroom when he heard the front door open and close. Thinking it was me he walked out of the bedroom to ask why I was home from work early. When he walked out of the bedroom, my father was standing at the front door.
I will swear that I have seen my father at the family camp since his death. I haven't seen him straight on, it was more like a glimpse from the corner of my eye.
There are things that are hard to explain
