Okay, so my mom passed away June 1st of this year. It's been pretty rough but I've been dealing with it. My wife is my rock and I wouldn't be able to do it without her.
My mom wanted to be buried, she didn't want to be cremated, but we honestly didn't have enough for a burial. The quote we had was almost $25k and we just didn't have it. So we had her cremated. I have some of her ashes for an urn that I am making. The rest of her ashes we buried in a family plot that was already paid for from the 1940s that my grandpa was supposed to be buried in, but he was buried in the veteran's section instead. My mom always believed that she should be complete when buried, not broken up like I did.
So about a month after her death and 2 weeks after her memorial service, I had my first dream. I have her wardrobe chest and it has a mirror in the door. In my dream I saw her in the mirror as she looked when she was about 40, she looked happy and healthy again, she was smiling and I felt a sense of calm. My sister had a dream that same night about my mom too. I felt some closure because we weren't in the hospital when she passed because when they called us it went to voicemail for all of us (3 kids) and I didn't get the message until hours later. I didn't get to see her the day before because we were at my nephew's wedding. She saw our pictures and the family all together dressed nicely and having a good time. She passed the next morning after being in the hospital for several weeks.
Anyway a few days after the dream, there is a picture from her house that is leaning against the wall next to my bed. It was thrown off the wall and would have hit me if my nightstand hadn't been in the way. The same night my son's pillow that is a smiley face was moved to a chair so that it was facing him and smiling. He got the pillow from her house, it was her favorite pillow.
Last week I was going to sleep in my bed and someone patted me on the head. Nothing else happened but I couldn't get to sleep the rest of that night.
Last night I was in my office, and we have a baby swing in there behind my desk. I got real cold and then when I was getting up to go to bed, I saw the swing moving. It would swing, stop for a second, then swing again. I got my wife and it was still doing it. My wife noticed that it was turned on to the lowest setting. But it had been off the entire day before that. My daughter kept waking up and crying last night like she was having bad dreams, but she is only 9 months old.
I know that my house is haunted by the past resident. I've seen his spirit out by the pond in the moonlight before. He shot himself out by the pond about 12 years ago, I bought our house from his widow. I've seen his shadow from time to time in the kitchen too.
I'm not really asking for advice, but I know that I'm not crazy. These things have been happening and I've witnessed it with my own eyes. I've felt the touches and the cold. I just wanted to write it out somewhere.
