Today, I'd like to add my own. In my house, we have the garage in front and bellow the house (the garage is the first floor) and there is a small space at the bottom and top, and because of the placing of the house, the wind tends to blow in the direction of the street in front of my house. Whenever the wind picks up speed, the wind gets into the garage and it makes a uuuUUUuuu sound, and my friends think it was a ghost, I have so much fun creeping them out :P<br />Britneyhttp://ghostsstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-69441037193378633192012-12-10T13:11:21.792-06:002012-12-10T13:11:21.792-06:00I am thoroughly enjoying all the stories I'm r...I am thoroughly enjoying all the stories I'm reading here!

What I remember most fondly about the story is reading it with our toddlers and the gorgeous illustrations of the young girl feeding the reindeer lush green dinner in their gorgeous stalls. The greens looked so luscious, I came to call our dinner kale <br />'Reindeer Hay' after that, and when we'd have it for dinner, our kids would fly around the house, like the reindeer in the story, flying after eating that nutritious reindeer hay. Only young kids in our town that ADORED kale :)! Favorite memory.

Some of my best memories of childhood are of my father reading to us with his wonderful rich voice; I'm smiling and feeling a wee bit sleepy just thinking about it. I'm not sure the boys are old enough for ghost stories, yet.

She is long gone now, but I still have the books, and sometimes take one down and read it as an escape from relentless holiday cheer.

We tried to get her to go "to the light" as they say, but she would rather stay here with us. She never does anything mean, just mischievous. We are all so used to her now that she is just like one of our children, except my children are in their 40's and 30's and she never grows old. Christmas if fun with "her" around because she does hide items which we eventually find, but not always easy.

She will leaf through books for hours each day! There is nothing better than when I read her Christmas stories cuddled up next to the tree with a plateful of snacks nearby.

I had already been snuggled in bed & for some reason looked up at the top of the wall.. and there was this white hazy area that was kind of swirling around. I was frozen, staring at it.. and I first sensed and then saw my great grandmothers face who had passed on 2 or 3 years previously. I pulled the covers over my head and started screaming bloody murder and my mother came running. I was crying & freaking out & she comforted me till I stopped crying and asked me if I wanted her to sit with me until I went to sleep again.. I said yes. She sat down in a chair that was next to my bed & we talked for a minute then I settled in to go to sleep. The next thing I knew, I saw my mom get up, bend over me, pull the cover up a bit & walk out of the room. I remember that I thought to myself "Hey!! She said she was gonna stay with me till I went to sleep! Im not asleep cuz I saw her walk out!!" Then it dawned on me that I was seeing her from the vantage point of the ceiling.. and I saw myself laying face up on my bed & I was floating above it, face down, and that is how I saw her leave the room. I wasnt frightened at all and I thought it was quite cool.. and I remember realizing that gravity was having no effect on the me that was floating.. and I wondered what else I could do.. I wiggled my hands, feet, legs & arms and then I wanted to see if I could go up or down.. I started going down towards my body and when I was about 2.5 feet or so from my body, I knew nothing else. I woke up the next morning and that entire memory was clear as a bell.. so clear that some 40 years later, its just as clear of a memory now as it was them.. It started me on a journey of metaphysics & a spiritual path I love today.. True story. :) kkaye76 at aol dot com.KimHnoreply@blogger.com
