What great stories! As a science-minded skeptic, I have no explanations for ghost sightings, the weight on the bed, the Pontianak of Singapore (i.e., a LOT of natives have spotted the same white vampire/ghost). My sister has experienced the "ghost child" crawling into her bed at night to sleep beside her, but in the morning, her own child never left her own bed, and there is no trace of the ghost. This, from my sister - who said a previous owner of the home later told her she'd experienced it too.

If ever anyone was open to signs from The Other Side, it would be me. Never do I experience the paranormal. An algorithm, a fumble of the cell phone, may account for the apparent message from my sister during the week after she died. I may never get to "know."

On the bright side, no harm seems to have resulted (aside from your daughter feeling sick for a day).
Which reminds me: I felt sick for a WEEK at age 7 or 8, after a vivid nightmare that came with a sword fight and a box of heads rolling into the shrubberies where I hid with my little sister, and the heads of our two oldest sister rolled into our hiding space. Half a century later, both those sisters were dead....

I've written about the nightmare starring our middle sister. She is now battling Stage 4 Stomach Cancer, and the prognosis looks very dire, very hopeless, though we have not abandoned hope. Miracles still happen, right? (And no, I don't see the dreams as prophetic - mercifully, many many other nightmares NEVER CAME TO PASS, or my mom and middle sister would have perished in a bonfire, and our son would have drowned or died a dozen other ways).

I guess if you are one to see it as ghostly it would be

Talking about algorithms - when Mum passed, and a couple of nights later, the family was sitting around reminiscing and talking about her. And suddenly, my Siri goes _ "I'm listening".
So random, and we were like huh? I am sure some word must have triggered it, a word that had never triggered it before or after since ...

Please, if you ever encounter something that makes sense (to a skeptic) you have to share and tag me

LOVE the story of that unexpected, random "I'm listening" from Siri at that time! How I'd love to believe your mom's spirit was able to access tech to let you know she's still with you.

My cell phone did something that has never happened before or since, even though I finally learned HOW to call up that special text and a canned reply, but to have accidentally called it up myself while reading a text message in a parking lot is just too improbable.

I blogged about it here Angels "simply use what's available" - even our cell phones, or landscape rocks and here:

Our youngest sister sees the rare white squirrel and countless little signs that Lori is still near us. I sooo want to believe in life after death and our lost loved ones reuniting with us one day!
