My grandfather died in December of 1990, and he and I were very close. On his birthday (2 months after he died) My mom was cleaning out his room. He had a large water jug filled with money and at 12:00 am, it came crashing down! My mom thought maybe a window blew in and streamed down the steps, ran all over the house, and when she passed his bedroom, she saw the money jar knocked down. She knew his spirit was not ready to leave us and he got VERY angry.

Another time when we "sensed" his presence was a very critical time in both of our lives. My father who I had not seen in six years came back into my life, and my mom found a lump in her breast that might have been cancerous. We were both praying to got for answers to our problems, and a miracle happened. My grandfather fixed a light in our home so that it would never go on again. When my mom turned on the set of lights hooked up to this light, the "forbidden" one went on. We both then knew that everything would be okay.

Just recently I was doing a report for school on ghosts. I had many situations of famous ghosts, and one in my own family! My uncle had a house built and during this time he was having trouble with his mother-in-law. While building the home, he saw a light blue hue encircle him and remain for a few seconds, and then diminish. He knew it was his dad checking up on him. The same thing happened to me while writing the report. I live in his room now and have changed it a great deal. I was looking in my mirror, and saw this bright white irridescent light hover over my shoulder. When I turned around, it was gone. I knew it was my pop-pop, because for three hours afterward I smelled "his smell." Some scientists may say there was an explanation for all of these examples I have given, but I know that my grandfather is watching over me, and there is no doubt in my mind that ghosts exist. I KNOW!
