Mom: What are you looking at?
Grandma: Mama (who passed away years ago)
Mom: What do you mean? Is she in this room?
Grandma: Yes
Mom: (thinking oh man, they are coming to take her away)
Why do you look scared? Are you afraid of dying?
Grandma: Yes
Mom: Don't worry mom...there are people on the otherside who love you and will take care of you.
Interestingly, my mom and her siblings as well as my Grandma Munro have always had a gift to see those who have passed on. My mom is not sure why this is....but perhaps for some of her family members, she thinks this is the only way they will listen to important messages (messages that would have little effect coming from the living)or be comforted from the loss of loved ones. My whole life I have been terrified of seeing something (Especially since my older sister saw my grandpa who had passed on, when we were little girls. We had shared a room when she saw him) , so I am really silly, but as soon as I get into bed and its all dark, I quickly shut my eyes. I have done this for as long as I can remember. I always wonder why I have never seen anything, but perhaps I am not meant to. Have you or any of your family had experiences like this?
On another lighter, non-Halloweeny note :) ....David and his brother went fishing really late last night and just before they were going to leave, David caught this gigantic fish. Yay for him! (I'm just glad he didn't bring it home for me to cook-I can't stand the smell of or eating fish)

Hmmm. I used to work as a hospice nurse, and there were a lot of people who said they had odd experiences. I never did, but then again my brain isn't really all that open to things like that, so I can't say.
I've never had a ghost experience either. It's spooky, but also kind of reassuring when people have them.
That is nice fish!
