I put this under Mythology and Folklore because I don't know what Catergory to put this in... And everything I am about say true.
Now read my question it's about me and my dead grandmother who died excatly 12 years and one day before I was born. She was born Nov. 1 1937 and Died Nov. 1 1976 of Diabetes I was Born Nov. 2 1988. (And I don't have Diabetes thank god)
I've seen pictures of her and it's like looking in a mirror I swear! Everytime around My dad's side of the family.. they always
mention it! And I get sick and tried of it at times.
And you might want to note that Nov. 1 is all Saints day and Nov. 2 Is the day of dead. And according to my dad and Uncle
she *claimed* she was a wicth.
Now is all this a freaky conicedence? Serious answers only please... When I saw her grave 5 year ago it scared the hell out
of me, I had very werid feelings from it.

Sounds like good ol' fashioned genetics! My son is the spitting image of my father, they have the same facial expressions for every emotion, it is quite odd, but it is the miracle of science, not magic... I have heard stories about witches who were "body thieves." Meaning that the soul of a very powerful witch would be passed into another living person, but the person has be born already, and usually already matured into adulthood. But by the details of your story this does not seem to be the case. Why would a soul of a very powerful witch want to go go through the hassle of adolescence again? I know I wouldn't!

I have a very big family, and more than once, a child has been born the day after (once it was hours after) another family member died. Each time, the new parents gave the baby the deceased's name as a way of carrying on that person's "spirit."
I don't know if that happens often, but it's happened multiple times in my family.
On a related note, I was partially named for my aunt Sally (Sally is the Anglicized version of Sarah), and everyone always said that we were alike. At her funeral, people kept calling me Sally. It was a bit strange.

I've heard a similar story; Sylvia Browne the psychic says that her grandmother died and several years later Sylvia's grand-daughter Angelia was born. When Angelia was old enough to start talking she started talking as if she was the dead grandmother. Like, "remember when I was Aida and you were a little girl...?" type stuff. Or knowing things that she shouldn't know at that young age about the family history.
So, if you're thinking that you might be your grandmother incarnate and that you were her - maybe. Ask your relatives if they remember you saying odd things when you were very young. Memories of past lives tend to fade at around age 6. For instance one day out of the blue my 5 year old was putting on his shoes for school, and got a confused frown on his face and didn't say anything for a long minute. Than suddenly said that he used to make wooden shoes. And as soon as I asked him if to repeat it he wouldn't and 'snapped' out of it and hasn't said anything like it since.

There is no such thing as coincidence so it has no relevance that you were born the day after your Grandmother died.
Does it matter anyway?
What are you scared of? Sure is eggs is eggs your going to die someday so stop worrying.
Strong family resemblences happen.
Enjoy your life and stop freaking yourself out.

Lots of people are spitting images of other family members from present or past generations. Why do you find this odd? My dad and brother look exactly alike, everyone says I look just like my grandmother when she was my age, and I constantly have people tell me my daughter looks exactly like me (in fact she is a carbon copy of my niece at the same age). It's all genetics.

There are billions of people in the world. There are 365 days in the year. I think that if you did the math you'd find that there are a lot of other people with similar things to speak of. I don't think it's weird. It's just a coincidence.

Chances are that she (in the spirit realm) hangs around you a lot, or you ARE her reincarnated. Go to a hypnotherapist and have a past-life regression done to see what's up.
