It all began when I was a kid; I lived in a small house in an estate with my mother, father and my baby sister. I'm not sure what age I was but it would have been when I was in school in junior infants. My mother used to always say to my father that she thought I was possessed jokingly mainly because of the stuff I would say to her each morning when I got up for school. I would say things like Mother that man was in my room last night again to Oh that man wanted to know how you were keeping. She never really took notice of this mainly because I was a kid and she just had the frame of mind that a kid would probably have an imaginary friend.
On this one night I went to bed and again the man came in to my room and sat on the chair opposite my bed, I don't really remember what he looked like only the silhouette of him sitting there. The man told me something this time.
My Mother collected me from school the next day and once again I told her that the man was in my room again and he wanted me to tell you that she had a photo of him and she was to show me him. He said that it was at the back of her wardrobe.
She still passed it off, but when I got home I ran in to her room and began searching through her wardrobe whilst my mother looked in shock. I climbed up in to the top of the wardrobe and pulled out a bag and began searching through it, I finally pulled out a remembrance photo of my Granddad who had died went I was born and who had never got to see me. I showed it to her and she just went pale white in the face and began shaking. She had to ring my father to come home from work, she was frightened.
My mother then told me that evening that the man who had been in my room was my great Granddad and that he died a week or two after I was born. My mom went on to explain that she had been speaking to him when she had first given birth to me and he kept saying to her that she was to visit him but he had died and had never got to see me.
My Granddad never ever came back again in to my room because now I think he was finally at peace. Up to this day both of us are interested with everything to do with the paranormal because we now know there is so much more to it.
I know this probably sounds far fetched but these two incidents stand out in my memory.
