A pleasant haunting

[andyhilt27]

My Grandfather passed a few months ago. He would have been 85 or 86 this month. I was very close to him as he was one of my heroes. He was a man of integrity. He served in WWII as a tech sergeant in New Guinea in the Air Force. After his tour he attended Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and obtained a degree in mechanical engineering. Rose Hulman is an elite school for engineering. The tuition is that of ivy league schools. He was a plant superintendant for Chambers Aircraft for 20 years then for Bohn Aluminum and Brass for another 25.

He died of old age.....His heart, kidneys, etc. simply gave up. His mind never went though. He was sharp as a tack up to his last breath inspite of the morphine. A few months before he passed I asked him to haunt me when he died. I believe he has been doing just that.

My wife is scarily observant in terms of the placement of objects in the house. She approached me a couple of months ago asking if I had moved an angel in our daughters room. Around this time there was an earthquake a few days prior so that was my explanation. A month after that the angel moved again and I was blamed for it. "Erin what angel are you talking about!!!!!???" I knew nothing of the angel and had not even seen it. So I placed the angel looking directly at my daughters crib. I also placed this little tea cup trinket thing next to it. This was a few weeks ago.

My daughter woke up today about an hour ago crying. So I went to rock her in her room. I looked at the angel and it was turned 45 degrees looking out the window. Strange.....

I do not for one moment doubt that there is more to life than what we see, feel, hear and taste. We may indeed by surrounded by the presence of those who have gone on. Many people have had some connection to loved ones who have passed. I was engaged to a man who died of leukemia in the mid 1970’s. I still feel his presence in my life from time to time... maybe my thinking of him energizes his soul in heaven, and that in turn energizes me... whatever is true, feeling Doug’s presence over the years has been a comfort.

About your grandfather, he sounds like a wonderful man... you were each blessed to share a life together. Maybe he wants you to be sure to pass his memory, his love and his values on to your daughter. :)

He was a great man. The best virtue behind any great person is honesty. He was above all honest.

I think too many people ignore intuition whether the source is coincidence or an unknown power. I was in an auto accident 5 years ago. I had a rare day off of work and had planned on doing some christmas shopping. I was drinking a few beers, just relaxing before going to do that horrible act of Christmas shopping. I had the temptation to have a few more beers before heading out. As I opened the fridge to grab another cold one something told to me to stop at 2 beers. So I left. My truck was low on fuel so I pulled into the station. I proceeded to fill it up. The pump stopped at $28.00 even. I had an extreme feeling to turn around and go home at that point. I ignored it. About a half hour later I pulled into a trecherous intersection and was nailed by a Lincoln going about 60 mph. Everyone was ok. A week or so later I get a letter from the insurance company stating that my policy had lapsed and a $12,000 bill was attached. You can imagine the new words I invented at that moment. I paid for the whole year on my Harley but not my vehicles. I had it mixed up. I thought I was current on my vehicles and lasped on the Harley. Nope!!! $12,000 and a 90 license suspension beacause I didn't listen to intutition. At least I didn't drink any more beer that day. That was a very expensive Christmas that year.

Some people would have claimed bankruptcy for a bill like that. I paid it. It was the honest thing to do. Damn, that was a crappy period of financial distress. I had bills from 3 knee surgeries, tuition for college and the bill for accident. Think of the prettty dobies I could have bought!!!!:D

I'm sure your grandfather is watching over your daughter also. Children are not grounded to this earth when they are a young age. They have imaginary friends, talk to people who aren't there or are. There is a reason for that. I would say your daugher is in very good hands. That must be a wonderful feeling. You are a very lucky man.!

Jules,

Andy's story reminded me a bit of Dennis... from what, 20 years ago... and that after he left he came back to see Marleen...

funny how one brief moment can color our whole life.

Elaine, sorry to hear about Dennis. I lost a friend to Leukemia when I was 9 or 10. He went through hell. He told the doctor he wanted to die rather than go through another spinal tap. I remember feeling relieved for him when he did pass....very sad.

I spoke with my father last night and told him about the angel movement. He thinks that I am off of my rocker. Although this is true, all I know is that I am not moving the angel. My daughter is only nine months old, our dogs do not go into her room, and my wife wouldn't joke about that sort of thing. I am going to do an EMF sweep of the room, and maybe get some EVPs. :D

I haven’t been very clear... Doug had leukemia... died in 1977. I was with him every day, often 24 hours a day, from the moment he was told of his diagnosis till the end. I vividly remember the spinal taps, the courses of Chemo, the TBI, the LAF rooms at Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center in Seattle... not something you ever ever forget. Sorry for what your friend went through.


Dennis was a friend of Jules (jkf ) and I... and of other mutual friends... he died of a heart attack back in about 1985 as I recall... and came back to at least one person ( an ex-wife) right after he passed. I think Dennis' passing brought home to us that there is more to our lives than what we experience on the most obvious levels. And, I think that children are more open than adults to the presence of angles or guides.

I would bet that each of us have a story of some connection to someone special who has passed.

Sorry I got confused with the d's. It happens easily (me getting confused). Justin has been my only chilhood friend to pass of natural causes to date. I lost three good friends in high school to car accidents. rumor has it my bodyguard in high school died in an ATV accident in Kentucky. Life is short.

I was thinking today while playing with my daughter and Eva, which one has the better life. I asked myself, "Would I rather be a baby or a puppy?" Both have equally fun lives. They both have their downfalls. Cribs and crates. But neither has any worries except food and running out of fun. Play Play Play. Eva and Amelia both have a crap load of toys, but no they want to play with my stuff. Amelia loves cells phones. We bought her a toy cell phone, not good enough. Eva loves...well she will play with anything sitting around. This must be payback for the torture I put my dad through when I was little. I spent a lot of time losing his tools.:D He actually had to put the chainsaw up on a very high shelf when I was 3. No joke. I would have started that thing if I could have reached it. I finally got to play with it when I was 13. Ah, the little things in life are so important.

Ok, I am really freaked out now. It has moved 3 times I think since my first posting. It is possible that Joy could be moving it when she is around the window. But I would think that she would have knocked it over at least once by now. The Angel really isn't that heavy. And why would she be having contact with it now and not at any point in the last year since Amelia's nursery was set up? My only choice is to set up surveilance. I will solve this great mystery once and for all. I will now search Ebay for equipment.

I can't wait to see this video?? Or hear of what you find out!
Don't let it freak you out! Someone is just watching over your daughter. It might be a good thing!

surveillance with a laptop is VERY simple and cheap. CREATIVE Webcam has software just FOR surveillance. Not that I've ever used mine in that capacity...:"Tungsten, Bah, and Moose? Stay out of the Fridge!!!":mad::p
