My grandmother played a key role in my only ghost experience it's because my grandmother was the ghost who made an apparition to me when I was still a 14 year old girl. Suffice to say I was scared when I saw her but days gone by and I realized that maybe she just misses me. And now I know that she appeared to me to say goodbye for the last time. I appreciate that, anyway it still makes up for a real ghost story so I will narrate what happened that time.
A week after my grandma's funeral we stayed at my uncle's house in Detroit for the week before we flew back home to LA. I was eating my breakfast downstairs when I heard noises in the bedroom on the second floor I thought it was my cousins playing then I heard my name being called like "Amelia, Amelia" so I went upstairs and said "Why, is that you mama?"
I got no response, and then when I opened the door to my cousin's room I saw my grandma just as she was when I saw her on the coffin a few days earlier before her funeral. She was wearing her favorite dress, a blue dress that is. She held out her hand and I was scared to death thinking whether I should run or stay but I realized how my grandma has been kind to me, I figured she meant no harm.
I reached out my hand as well to hold her hand, it was cold and smooth and then she smiled at me and told me to be good at all times, I asked her "Grandma are you in heaven now?", she just smiled at me and said "things will be okay for me, don't worry Amelia".
A cold breeze of air went through the window and the curtains moved and I closed my eyes and when I opened them again she was gone. I felt all the hairs on my body stand up, my heart was beating fast needless to say I was scared at that time. And I wonder why my grandma would scare me that way.
I told everyone that night at the dinner table about grandma appearing to me, I think most of them never believed me but my mom took my word for it and told me afterwards that maybe I was grandma's favorite grandchild. Since then I have learned to accept the fact that my grandma never meant to scare me rather just to make sure that I see her for one last time and remember the moments I've spent with her when she was still alive.
Ghosts are scary, I know that but I have learned that they are not here to scare us, most of the time they just appear to us just to relate a message that even in death love abounds as well and a ghost apparition is just one way of conveying that message to all of us, the living.
