Hubby's grandmother used to "haunt" us for the longest time. I was convinced she was watching my kids.
These are hard to share because I don't believe in this stuff!!!!
Her first visit was moments after we got the call that she passed. DS was 2 years old and her only great grand child. I went in to check on him. He's a very sound sleeper and NOTHING would ever wake him up. He had already been in bed for two hours. When I walked into his room his lights were on. He was sitting in the center of the bed staring into the corner with a big smile on his face. I said, "Alex, what are you doing?" He replied with "Goodbye gramma." He then laid down and was asleep in moments. It was the weirdest thing.
The next one was with my DD whom Great Grandma never met. One afternoon I had laid Annika on my bed for a nap. She must have been about 2 months. Much too young to be rolling over. I set some pillows around her and ran downstairs to check something. A few minutes later I heard a big THUMP and just knew Annika had fallen off the bed, but I didn't hear her cry. As I was running up the stairs I saw a vision (I swear I'm not a freak). I saw hands picking her up and putting her down safely. I finally got to my room and Annika was sound asleep on the floor next to the cradle. There is NO way she could have fallen there.
The cradle has been in my DH's family since before his dad was born. His grandma (the one that haunts us) used it with all 11 of her kids. It was a really big deal that we use it for our kids. Since we've moved and I've returned the cradle back to my MIL we haven't had any visits from Grandma.
I never felt threatened by her, just that she was watching my kiddos. It's a totally weird feeling and again, I don't believe in this crap!!!
