When I was about 5 years old, I went with my father to visit my Grandmother for the first time. She lived in Quincy, CA. For those who are not familiar with Quincy, it’s past the Sierras in northern California. My Grandfather built a cabin there in the woods in the 80s. After he retired from the rail road company in south San Francisco, they sold their home in Redwood city and lived up there permanently. It was very remote, the nearest neighbor was about 5 to 6 miles away. According to my father his parents were only there for about 6 years until my Grandfather died due to complications from diabetes. At this time I only heard stories of my grandfather from my dad. I never saw a picture of him and had no idea what he looked like. As my father arrived at the house, he parked by the garage which was a little distance away from the house. My grandma was waving at us from the door way of the house. At that point I also saw a tall thin man, with white hair, wearing a V neck undershirt, black suspenders and khaki pants and he had a cod pipe in his mouth. His arm was around my grandma and he was also waving. As we got closer to the house he formed in to a ball of light and shot up in the sky. It really hard to explain because it happened so fast. I was not afraid but more confused at what I saw. I told my dad what happened. He didn’t 100% believed me but he did get a little shaken when I described what the man looked like. My grandmother later sold the cabin and moved to Orville due to her age. Years later when my father and I was visiting my grandma for Thanksgiving, my attention went to a cabinet she had. There was a picture of the same man I saw all those years ago and next to the frame was a cod pipe. I asked my dad who that man was and he said, that’s your grandfather. That’s when I knew what I saw that day. My dad still doesn’t believe me nor do other people I have told but I know what I saw and I know it is true.
