What's your favorite ghost story?

Answer 1

This is told by my mother who swears it is true. The story is corroborated by her sisters.

She was a little girl living in Pennsylvania back in the 1920s. Her parents had emigrated from eastern Europe so much of her family still resided there, including her grandfather who she had never met.

One night, she awoke to see a figure in her bedroom. It was a man who was smiling at her. She was scared to death. The man told her not to be afraid and that he wanted to see her before he went. My mother screamed and her parents and siblings rushed into the room asking what had frightened her. She pointed to the man, but nobody else could see him. Then he was gone. The incident was naturally shrugged off as a nightmare.

Back in the 1920s communications across the Atlantic were by written letter and it took weeks for those to arrive. Several weeks after the event, my mother's parents got a letter from Europe informing them that my mother's grandfather had died on such and such a date at such and such a time. Looking at the calender and working the time difference, it was exactly the moment when a little girl in Pennsylvania saw the vision of a kind, smiling man just wanting to see her before he went.
