A friend called me one night in late November to talk. Her boyfriend wasn’t at home and she was a little scared of some noises. They had lived in that little house out in the countryside for years and strange noises had never bothered her before. The sounds from the woods surrounding the house and the animals in it were something that she was used to, but the noise she was hearing was different. She told me that it sounded as if a man walked up the steps to their front door, stomped his feet to get the snow of his boots and then opened the door. The first time she thought is was a friend that came to visit and went to the hallway to greet him, but there was no one there. The second time she went to the hallway she thought someone was playing a prank on her and she opened the front door to yell at him. It had been snowing and there were no tracks in the snow. That’s when she called me.

We talked for a while and tried to find explanations, the cold making the old house move and so on. Then it happened again, that time she didn’t go into the hallway and the steps continued into the house and up the stairs to the bedroom where they stopped. My friend was more than a little scared at they time. She was convinced that it had to be a ghost or spirit of some kind. Personally I think there is a logical explanation to everything, but I humoured her by talking more about it. First question was of course “do you know if anyone has died in the house?” She told me that the former owner had died from heart failure in his own bed and that the widow had moved away from the house after that. I had seen a TV show where they sent ghosts away by telling them that they didn’t belong in the house anymore.

Thinking it could do no harm to follow her idea, and I told her to greet him the next time and tell him that he didn’t live there anymore, that is was their house now and that he should go somewhere else. Said and done, the next time she heard the noises she spoke to him and nothing more happened. We talked for a couple of more hours and there were no more noises. She laughed it all off as her being “silly” and I agreed.
Why tell the story then? Because a month later, right before Christmas her boyfriend died at home, in bed, from heart failure. He was 35 years old and in good health. He had been born with the problem in his heart and had never felt it or known about it, the coroner said that he could had died at anytime. My friend has never talked about the noises that she heard again. I have never reminded her, but every now and then I find myself wondering if there was a connection …

So what do you think? Was all of it just “silly” and there is no connection between the two at all? Her subconscious mind warned her that something wasn’t right? Was it a message/warning? Something else?

I'm sorry to see the thumbs down that all of you got. I wish I could make up for it by giving you all thumbs up, but I'm not allowed to rate answers yet.
I personally don't think what to think about it all, that's why I asked for opinions. I don't think that a ghost/spirit killed her boyfriend. I also know that the human mind is pattern seeking and always look for connections. Still, I can't help wondering if she did have some sort of "premonition" about something being wrong. I do know that I can feel when something isn't right with my husband. I guess being close for so many years does that to one.
I need to go and think all your answers over before I pick the best answer since many of your answers are equally good.

The death is more likely an astral groove rather than a spirit. These phenomenons are often confused with eachother.
Every event imprints itself on the astral plane. These imprints, such as a tense atmosphere in a room after a fight, usually fade quite quickly. If stronger emotions have been involved these grooves can become semipermanent. The astral influences the material so they can become self reinforcing by happening again and again.
Astral grooves can be removed just as spirits can, there are several methods such a visualisations and such as well as direct manipulation of the astral plane.

First of all, you're reaching pretty far here. You are assuming a lot of things too. You are in essence saying your friend could have heard into the future and that what she heard was the stomping feet of her b/f? If that's the case, then what did her living in the house formerly owned by someone who died of heart failure have to do with anything? Are you saying her b/f died of heart failure (from a congenital condition) because she lived in a house formerly occupied by someone who died of heart failure?
You have two separate issues here.
1.) Stomping noises
2.) B/f dying of heart failure.
I don't see how these two issues can be related except that she lives in a house in which the former owner's death was similar to what caused her b/f to die. The b/f issue is a congenital heart problem, so the only real issue here is the noise she heard.
It sounds to me like she spooked herself out. There are many possible causes of the noises she heard, none of which are paranormal. Since she didn't investigate very thoroughly I'm afraid she may never know what caused the noises, unless they have happened again.

A spirit can't kill someone, let alone cause them to die the same way they did. So the only other explanation (if it was related at all) is that she could have been having some sort of premonition. I know I dreamed about my Great Grandpa being with some of our family who had already moved on a few months before he actually died.
It's not all that uncommon for someone to not know they have a problem like that. My uncle didn't know that he was born with a heart condition until just a few months ago when the symptoms started.
All in all, I wouldn't worry about it. Either way nothing will change what happened. Just be there for your friend, she most definitely needs people watching out for her right now.

Maybe the house still held the sounds/vibrations of the man that had died there. Maybe he always stomped his feet (to get the dirt or snow off) and always walked up the steps to his bedroom. Maybe he did it so many times that the house kept these sounds. (I know nothing about houses holding vibrations or sounds etc) I've heard if God sends you a warning about a death...He'll tell you a way to avoid it. I really don't know. I don't see how this had anything to do with her boyfriend dieing.
EDIT..Did you notice that EVERYBODY got a thumbs down?? What's that about???

Oh my God, that's very scary!!!
It is not a coincidence. It is connected!!!
Your friend have sensed spirits before her boyfriend's death and that was a message. Don't let things turn worse now.
Bad spirits are true because I myslef have experienced having one to show up and laugh at me.
I don't believe that those spirits were the spirits of the people who lived before in the house. They are just following the image of the dead people and seem to act the same as well. They are another kind of spirits.
You better try to get an expert for this. Christians can help and please ask in the Name of God to protect you from harm and evil.

The most common ghost/paranormal event is the foot step sounds. Hard to say any of it was related to the death. There is a theory about pre-death visitation's, that someone who is about to die will have a spirit contact them before death. There are lots of books on this ---
