Thanks for the comments guys and taking intrest in my story.
vickifigueroa mum said that my nan was never actually happy even at weddings she would stand there with her arms crossed and mad looks. Very rarely she smiled. Thanks for the question...
Curious this is for you:
So I covered my head with my blanket because I always thought from a young age if I can't see you then you can't see me. I had no oher way out of my room so at the age of 11 with a unknown person at me door what was I meant to do go ask them to leave me alone? I think not I was to scared. I was extra scared because of the way she looked at me with her body language (arms crossed). I automaticly thought shes angry at me what have I done... Oh no I'm in trouble.
When I say it was obvius she wasn't alive its because you could tell. It's really hard to explain but she was so pale and everything was white. Not like an alive person.
I didn't think mum would believe me because I was 11 years old and if I told her I saw what I thought was a ghost she might have laughed at me, turns out shes had a similar experience. How could I ignore it, easy I closed my eyes with tears running down my cheek because I was soo scared. I laid there thinking of who she might be nothing came to mind. I thought for a while about it before I went to sleep but I was to scared to talk to her being my first "ghostly" incounter and not sure what to expect. Believe me if she came back one my time now being 15 and not easily scared I'd talk to her. Thankyou for your curiosity

Dear Miss_Codi_47,

In my opinion, the lady at your door calling your name may well have been your grandmother as confirmed by your description to your mother. As Shane said she may not have wanted to scare you anymore than she already had, and chose to stay at a distance. Whether a person is alive or dead they will still want to check in on their loved ones, even if they know they might scare them, not be accepted or even when there were strained relations. It is a human thing to do alive or dead. Many want to know what is going on with loved ones and people they have known in their life, as well as extended families and connections.

I appreciate your story. Thanks, --Abby

Why she would have stood at your door and why she didn't come closer to you are good questions. Better questions are: why would you just cover your head with a blanket if a strange woman you'd never met was standing in your house in the hallway at night? Either you're incredibly brave or something doesn't add-up here. Why would your mother not believe you that someone was in the house one night. That seems like the kind of thing a parent would want to know: "Hey, Ma, by the way, there was a lady standing in my doorway last night..." Um, yeah, I think that warrants an alert. And finally, how was it "obvious she wasn't alive," and, if so, how could you simply ignore it and try to go to sleep?

Curious.

Perhaps she wanted just another peek at you as you were only a few months old when she passed. Speaking as a grand mother of a beautiful boy, I know the instinct to see and love your grand children can be just as strong as it is with your children.

Feel blessed and honored, not frightened. She may now be able to rest since she has seen you.

God Bless!

Thats awesome your gram came by to check up on you... I just wonder why she was standing like that with her arms crossed like she was mad or something...

As she was unknown to you she probably didn't want to cause you anymore fright than she already had. Loved ones often return to check on their families, even those they have never meet. She came to you in a form that you didn't know but that your mother recognized easily. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you.
