My mom died quite suddenly. She was ailing for a few weeks and as suddenly as her terminal disease came on, she was gone. Another death to add to the list of deaths in that house. I knew she fought death and she was not ready to die when she did so I expected some paranormal activity from her.
If you've read my earlier stories you will know I lived in a haunted house for 33 years of my life. I had the worst years there. I was always ill. I felt like my life was being sucked out of me. I felt as though I was going to die in that house and a few times I almost did.
Now as a rule I do not leave my room after I go there for the night. I did not like the long corridors and how spooked they made me feel. One night my now-husband was over. We were watching movies. We decided to have a midnight snack. So I went down to the kitchen to make a few sandwiches. All was okay. I got out the bread and the stuff I required. Suddenly I heard humming behind me. I froze. I thought I was imagining. It was distinct. It was exactly how my mom would hum when she would cook in the kitchen. I quickly made the sandwiches and ran up. I was really scared.
A few days later I heard some sound outside my door. I went to open the door. I looked down the dimly lit corridor. I saw my mom walk up the stairs. She reached out to switch off the light (the lights were already off), she looked towards me and she "floated" into her room. I shut my door, I smoothed down the goosebumps and just sat there, my heartbeat racing wildly.
The next morning I told my dad what I had seen. He said he had felt her presence in the house that night. I knew then that I had not imagined any of it. I have had this gift from young where I could sense and sometimes see dead people. It made growing up and everything else so tough. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

[at] Sds - no matter how many experiences I've had I always get freaked out. I did forget to mention that she would keep telling me that she would come back after she died and she would haunt the place. Now whether that was said in jest or she meant it I have no idea. We were not particularly close.
[at] Aman - she did die peacefully. She didn't want to die but then she just gave in and passed on quite peacefully. I think it was a one off incident. I don't know if the house is still haunted. I want to go meet the family who's currently staying there and ask them if there are any weird goings on in the house.
[at] Triskaideka - I think she passed on. We moved out of the house almost six years ago. When it was torn down and rebuilt some of the workers had bad experiences there. They kept leaving and new ones kept coming back. My mom said she would come back after death and I think that was her visit to me.
[at] Badjuujuu - I was scared because no matter how many times I experience stuff like this I always get freaked out. It's always just me who can see and feel this stuff. It makes me feel like I've gone mad or something. It was the fear of the moment. Reflex action.
[at] Shhh_i'm_sleeping - yes it is always nice to know our dearly departed are fine.
[at] Ghostglider - I have had so many experiences I am always scared. I always get freaked out. Yes, I know what you are saying. I know how demons pose as people we know. I can sense evil. This apparition was not evil. I have been attacked by evil spirits. I will write about that when I have time. I know how crazy it is to try and fight stuff you cannot see. I lived in a haunted house for 33 years. Some nights were worse than others. I never had a proper sleep in that house. Not one night. I was always ill there. I almost died a couple of times out of sicknesses. It was terrible.
Thank you all for reading this and for your replies.:) I really appreciate it.
