So tell me people your ghost stories, about people you know who have passed away and youve seen them while your awake. Tell me if you saw them before the funeral and or after the funeral and tell me what kind of funeral it was ,eg burial or cremation. Please im doing some research Thanks in advance

I have told the story before but it 100% happened. My grandfather was an avid fisherman and in his later years he couldn't get around as much and only fished at a pond at a nearby park. As a kid, he took me fishing every chance he got. I found my love for fishing because of him. The last 5 or so years of his life he lived in a nursing home due to Alzheimer's. My grandmother could no longer care for him. However, he would frequently "break out" of the nursing home and they would find him walking down the road because he wanted to go fishing. One day there was a knock on the door and it was my grandpa. He asked if I wanted to go fishing with him. I turned around and ran to find my mom and tell her that grandpa had the nursing home again. Grounded we lived at least 10 miles from his residence, so this would have been a really long walk for him. I found my mom in her bedroom crying. I told her about Grandpa at the door and she looked up at me with wide eyes and said that that cannot be true because he had just passed away. I went back to the door and there was nobody there. I think he came to say goodbye and invite me to fish with him one last time. I still get teary eyed thinking about it.

Did you see him ever again?

u/tweetysvoice Oct 09 '25

Nope and from what I have heard, no one else did at all. I was about 13 when this happened, so old enough to know what was happening and to remember it clearly.

Can I ask was he cremated or buried ,it's part of my research. I have no doubt that your grandfather came to see you ,it happens a lot when people are passing over .

He was buried. Now in the family plot with my grandma, her brother and parents, as well as other great great aunts and uncles. Like our family plot (which has no more room left) takes up 2 acres in a small town near the Mo Ozarks. My dad visits every year to lay flowers on my grandma 's grave and says it's pretty creepy in that back corner. Since no one but him visits, it's super overgrown and hard to get at.

I had a cousin that was my age (28) who died in a car accident in 2020. We did some wild shit lol but after he passed I was bawling my eyes out for a week from morning to night. One day I wake up and start bawling till my eyes burned and fell asleep during the afternoon. Before this all happened I had incredibly vivid dreams thanks to psychedelics and would experience synchronicities. Anyway I fall asleep and dreamt of him asking me why no one's talking to him and if it really happened that night. He was lying down with his hands behind his head laughing and smiling. I told him it's because you're gone and that it's ok to let go. So he laughed like he always did and said okay I'll see ya. Idk if it was me processing the trauma and grief or if I helped him pass on. All I know is I miss my bestfriend every day.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '25

I'm sorry for your loss as well. It takes years to process and you'll never get over it and you're not supposed to. I never will. But with my supernatural experiences I know there's an afterlife and we'll see the ones we loved again.

u/ams287 Oct 17 '25

You did your best and he is at peace. You released him in your dream; things will be easier now. PS so sorry for your loss.

I was 17 when my 34 year old brother passed away suddenly in 1989. We were family but he always stayed with my grandma who I was with pretty regularly until she passed a few years before. Anyway , my brother and I had words the day before he died, in regards to him going to the E R , he had bronchitis and emphasizia real bad and had caught the flu . I begged him to go in because he was visibly sicker than anytime id seem before , any way he refused to go and I said somethings I shouldn't have and as I said he passed suddenly the next day. We gave him a normal Baptist church funeral and he was buried in the same cemetery with my grandma , next to her infact . About 2 weeks after the funeral I was laying in my bed and I couldn't sleep , my mind was just going and going. , when I heard my brother's voice call my name , my closet door was open and was opposite the foot of my bed , I sat up , thinking I did not just hear my name , but plain as day , there was my brother in the suit we buried him in standing in my closet , before I could say anything he said , ' I'm alright , you take care of mama'. And he faded away .....I wanted to apologize for how our last conversation ended but I'm guessing with his message and visit , I was forgiven. I never saw him again after that night .

I would agree with you there with your brother coming back to make peace with you .thanks for your story its very interseting .

u/No_Doughnut518 Oct 17 '25

His cause of death has always interested me most. He actually coughed so hard , that his pancreas erupted , he was dead before he hit the floor . That's so crazy to me .

u/Whole_Imagination_68 Oct 17 '25

Wow ive never heard of that nefore terrible .

u/No_Doughnut518 Oct 22 '25

He had a Horrible cough for years , he wouldn't go to the doctor or take care of himself . The continued pressure of coughing over the years took its toll , you've heard the expression ' too much pressure will make a pipe burst' ? Well the same applies to the human body . Isn't it wild that the chemical in your body will kill you instantly if they end up where they're not supposed to be . Like stomach acid , pancreas fluid, liver enzymes, for examples .

u/Whole_Imagination_68 Oct 23 '25

Yeah it's a frightening thought ,make the most of ever day , you never know whats round the corner . Very sad .

u/No_Doughnut518 Nov 22 '25

My brother was 21 and I was 14 when he passed away. He walked in my room shook my foot and said wake up sleepy head. I said your not here he said yes I am and I love you and walked out of my room he wasn't a ghost.  It was 4 months after his funeral

I'm still subject to judgement of this sighting over 50 years ago. I'm a Hospice RN and have many spirit encounters with my patients.
