I am unsure of why I have not seen them, but I sleep with the hall light on just to make sure I do not see them at night in the dark!!!!!!!! I would love to see them in the daytime though!!!!! [/B]

Why would you be afraid of seeing your grandparents in the dark? All of mine are still alive but I remember my great grand parents and would really like to be able to see them again under any circumstances. (They were seriously cool!)
When I was very small we were visiting my paternal Great-Grandparents in New Orleans and their house (circa 1833) used to spook me a bit. I asked my GGM what were those things I kept seeing out of the corner of my eye but could never get a clear view of? She saw I was concerned and chuckled as she explained, "But why does this trouble you, at best it is my grandfather, and at worst it is a close cousin." So I replied (much relieved) "Ah, then that's allright, they are all family!" After that I was never troubled by things half seen and sounds half heard at that great old house. As an OBTW, I hope it came through the storm OK. I'd hate to think the family ghosts would get turfed out by bad weather. And no, this is not a joke but one of my favorite memories of times and places quickly slipping away.
