Life After Death

Are ghosts real? I believe they are. I never really believed the stories and always giggled inside when someone told me they believed until my experience with the supernatural. But before you giggle at me let me explain my story. When I was about 22 years old, my girlfriend at the time and I were having an argument about something late one night. We were sitting in my car at her grandmothers driveway facing the house. The garage was directly in front of us with the front door off to the left, both were very visible in the light from the street lights and the moon. There was a tree with a thick trunk blocking just a small section of the view in between the garage and front door. While staring at the front of the house listening to her I saw a figure standing in front of the garage. The figure then walked towards the front door and vanished behind the tree. While watching this figure I thought to myself that it was very late for her grandmother to be up. But when it vanished my jaw dropped when I realized what I had to have seen. I watched this figure for over 5 seconds, it was real, my eyes were not playing tricks on me. After talking to my girlfriend and her family about the sighting I learned that I was not the first to have seen it. Her grandmother, mother, aunt and cousin have all seen the same figure, an older lady wearing a white night gown. It turns out that her great grandmother had been beaten by her grandfather nightly and had eventually died in that exact house. I saw this ghost with my own two eyes. This was no illusion. The fact that all five of us saw the exact same figure, the exact same night gown, at the same place, around the same time of night, this cant just be an illusion.

How can this be real? I have asked myself that very question a thousand times. Talking with people and doing a little research shows that I am not alone in this belief. You would be surprised at the amount of people that have had supernatural encounters, even people who you know and trust. But what does this mean? How has this changed me? I am a full on believer now. I do take other peoples stories with a grain of salt but if I saw a ghost couldn’t they have? This opens a whole new box of questions about life, religion, faith and everything else. But it also gives me peace of mind. Believing in ghosts proves life after death. While I have no idea what this life after death is, it shows me there is something. This feeling has a calming effect. Death isn’t as scary anymore.

I do not expect my story will change your beliefs. But I do hope that one day you will have a story of your own. Seeing is believing, and I am a believer.
