I’ve been reading but not posted before. I feel like I want to tell my situation with my family and our experiences. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe there is something to it or maybe I am just hopeful. Figured maybe I could get insight. I am not a new believer in the paranormal. Several bad Oija board experiences in my teens made that clear. I’m just not versed in specifics of the paranormal.
Some back story- my Great Grandmother was always said to be born with a “veil” over her (something with amniotic sac). She lived with my Grandparents in an old house that had tunnels and said to be part of the Underground Railroad (most have collapsed over the years). It’s been written about in a local historians haunted house book. My Great-Grandmother used to see men carrying bodies to the basement. She would always talk about the little boy and girl causing trouble on her side of the house or them looking at her jewelry. One time it was the boy asking for water. Frankly, many of my family acted as if she was crazy (non-Believer portion). I was of the believer side of our family and she passed one year the day before Halloween. I fully expected her to appear on Halloween and be like “see and you all called me crazy.” ????
Another incident at the house was with my Grandfather who was working outside in the heat and felt someone put their hand on his shoulder and tell him he should go inside. No one was there. Another time, while home alone, he was not feeling well while down in the basement doing some work. My Grandmother got home and he was on the sofa and wasn’t sure how he got from the basement.
Many (20 years later). I took my Grandmother to a medium a few times after her mom and my Grandfather had passed . My Grandfather passed young and she spent til she passed just as committed to him as when he was here and she enjoyed it. Every time, the medium would see a curly hair little girl by me. Would ask if we knew her and say she is really interested in you and we’d all be stumped and move on. After three boys, I had my daughter. Unlike all my other kids she had a head full of curls. We ran into the medium when she was about one and she said “that was her!” My daughter was born completely in her amniotic sac. The most amazing sight. Too bad we always forgot the camera! She had to be cut free from it. Her and my Grandmother had this amazing bond. From the instant they saw eachother and til my Grandmothers passing there was just this automatic comfort they found in oneanother. Not the way my daughter was with others at all.
Til she was 6, my daughter has had several moments that would make me stop and pause and wonder. Not just being born like my great grandmother. When she was 3, she told me how I was so tiny as a baby and how she used to rock me all the time. I tried to correct her that I rocked her and she insisted she rocked me and I was so tiny and cute. I was preemie. All I could think was is she like my Great Grandma reborn?!? Crazy, I know.
At one point I got into geneology and did Ancestry DNA on like every grandparent, parent and kid to see who had what percent of each. My Grandmother matched all my boys just as you would expect for a Great Grandmother. My daughter shared more DNA with her than her Grandmother. They came up as closer than Great Grandmother. I found it interesting because the bond they immediately had.
A few years later, in April 2020, my Grandmother passed. For two years, til just the past 6 months, my daughter would always say Great Grandma is here. One time she was playing alone in her playroom and I could see her talking and having a blast by herself and asked what she was playing. She told me Great Grandma is laying dolls with me. My Grandmother LOVED dolls. Growing up she was poor and had one doll that was it her while childhood. As an adult, she collected everything from baby dolls to porcelain dolls. Her upstairs was a little creepy with all the dolls (not to mention the haunted house she lived in). Anyway, I said to my daughter you are that’s great. You look like you are both having lots of fun. She said we are take our picture! So I humored her and did. It was a “Live Photo” on my phone and when I looked at it there was a white shadow all around one side and around my daughters head. She is laughing looking up at it. On the side there is a white shadow shape of a closed hand. I was like okay maybe she was. ????
Maybe I am thinking too much and seeing things there that aren’t out of grief and finding comfort there.
The last thing my Grandmother said to me when I was crying beside her was “I’ll be seeing you” over and over and saying my daughters name. She wasn't with me. It was in a tone like thus is no big deal I am gonna be here. The next day she could no longer speak and passed soon after.
I have a few pics of what appear to be faces in my grandmothers basement. We took them when my son was remote learning with Covid and learning about the Underground railroad. I also have the pic of my Daughter playing. I would be happy to share them I just don’t know how to post pics. They are on my phone so I don’t know how to post them.
Thanks for reading and in advance for any insight.
