• Grandfather's Angel

    From Arlan Levitan@RICKSBBS to All on Fri Jul 11 21:16:57 2025
    "Around the age of 15 I moved in with my grandmother after my grandfather had passed. My room was in the basement and hers upstairs, we had a German shepherd as well named Lottie.

    One night while sleeping I suddenly became very cold and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I woke up facing the wall of my room since my bed was pushed against it. I turned around out of instinct and saw a figure standing behind my bedroom door. The only way for me to describe what I saw is to imagine the multi colored light of a prism being projected through a fog that was shaped like a man. This is the only time in my life where I could not speak, I was frozen with fear for what felt like an eternity. My door was opening and shutting as he just stood there, I finally was able to scream " go away " and I burst into tears and screamed for my grandma. Her and Lottie came into my room and Lottie whimpered well going in circles, never seen her do that before. My grandmother said she has seen angels as well and i should not be scared.

    Nothing out of the ordinary ever happened again but I always had that feeling of being watched. My grandfather died in that house and my only explanation is that it was him watching over me. I thought I would feel joy though and not such an intense fear from a loved one on the other side... It still haunts me."

    If the spirit you saw scared you so badly odds are it was not your grandfather or a loved one, I think the OPs grandmother didn't want to frighten them and said it was probably an angel to comfort them.

    In my opinion the paranormal can always seem frightening until we begin to understand a small part of it. If you experience it enough for long enough it becomes part of the status quo.
