This is my first time sharing my experience in here so I apologize if my writing skills aren't as good as others, bear with me! I just want to give you a bit of background history to make this story easier to understand.
At the age of 6 my disabled sibling was born and my grandparents brought me up so my parents could focus on my sibling, although, my parents lived down the road and I was free to visit whenever so I didn't have a sad childhood-just a very lucky one.
Anyway, at the age of 16 I wanted to move back in with my mother, who had by now divorced my father. The council had given her a 3 bedroom house which, to be fair, my mother did to a good standard (it had only had one occupant previously from it being built, and they had died of natural causes in the bathtub so I hope this gives you a clue to how old the previous occupant was, which isn't too old for an age of a house.) My mother had given me the large rear bedroom and I absolutely loved it!
Around 3 months after moving in, I was lying in bed around 11pm when I felt a light weight on the end of my bed, nothing too alarming but enough to feel. I looked and saw nothing. This event repeated itself on and off for weeks but never actually scared me.
The whole house would do strange things, but besides my mother, nobody else actually was bothered by it. However, I arrived back from college one afternoon to see my mum surprised at seeing my face.
"When did you get dressed?" She asked.
"Mam I've been in college all day so I've been dressed all day!"
It was 4pm now, and I had been out of the house since 9am. She then said, "No, you were definitely in bed when I got home an hour ago, I saw you in bed, and you even said 'no thank you' when I asked you if you wanted a coffee?". Well, I definitely wasn't!
A separate event that happened in my bedroom was whilst it was just me and a friend staying there. We had both got into bed and around 3 am she woke me saying there was a man stood next to me (I always sleep on the outside if the bed or the side closer the door as I have always had a weird feeling about being able to escape or knowing that I am confined somewhere does not sit well with me). I woke up and I saw nothing. She carried on getting more and more upset and describing him in perfect detail until I put my glasses on. There, to my right hand side, was a hooded man, but if I am honest I didn't really think I was awake until my friend point blank refused to sleep in my room and insisted on going downstairs.
Fast track 3 years later, I went to see a psychic and medium (a couple) after then my best friend and beautiful, brave and courageous Grandmother took her life. Before I even mentioned my grandmother or anything associated, the lady (I'm not sure what her job was but she made me pick out a few cards with pictures on) told me a man was with me, but I refused for her to say any more as I told her she must be confused- I had never lost any males in my life so she must be mistaken. The psychic told me it was my grandmother who sat on the end of my bed (which made me feel somewhat relieved).
This has stuck with me, as I know live with my partner in our own home, and I think about my Grandmother every day and hope whoever this male was will keep away, but would like to hear any other users who have lost family members in this way and if you those types of deaths leads to a different afterlife? Might not make sense, but the vicar told the family that people who take their own life are different beings. Is this what this man is?
Thank you for reading, I am sorry if events are jumbled I just wanted to write it so it might make chronological sense.
Lostghostgal, I couldn't imagine why's ghost would want to copy me, I'd choose someone worth copying haha! Although things like this are a regular thing in my Mams house so I think she's less scared now. Thank you for your help!
Aishling, I'm sorry I knew my story wouldn't make much sense! The sitting at the end of my bed happened before my Nana died and afterwards but since I've been in my new home it's not happened. I agree with your comment, nobody has died and come back to tell us if they go to hell or not so therefore I have come to my own conclusion that my Nana is where she wants to be. I must accept this.
Mamachong the psychic couple came to my cousins home to see us, beforehand she said for me to get something of the person I wanted to hear from (I got a picture My nana gave me of herself that is my purse) and put it face down On the table. I agree they are after the money as some of the stuff she said was way off and most defiantly wrong! The only thing she was correct on was the circumstance in which my Nana died, how she did it and some private things I do in my own time that she said my Nana didn't like me doing. So it's hard to know what t believe.
Vallkricry thank you for your comment, I am sorry to hear about your Son. I always believe that inevitably I couldn't have prevented her death, I tried. Yet it is hard not to blame myself as there are so many unanswered questions. Is Val your name? I am not religious but do believe my Nana was very brave, and so are all those others however they may die, that she fought for what she truly wanted.
