			I have seen my dead Grandfather.  True story.  He had been gone for maybe 4 months or so.  I had just moved into his house and I was sitting in the den watching t.v.  Well I happened to look up and to my right and low and behold I see Granddaddy watching me.  He had just "stepped" in from the kitchen and was looking at me.  He was wearing his "normal" work clothes for the farm.  I saw straight through him and could see the front of the kitchen door.  But when I looked down, I didn't see the lower half of his torso, just his upper half, like he was leaning in on the door frame as if he were going to speak to me.  I was half shocked, half calmed.  I just said, "I'm o.k. Granddaddy, everything is fine.  Go on back" and resumed to look at the t.v.  When I looked back, about 5 seconds later, he was gone. But this isn't something strange to me.  Usually when my deceased relatives pass that I am close too, I have dreams about them.
 But this isn't the first time he has come to "check up" on me.  There were a few other times when I walked into the house after coming home from work and smelled his cologne or his shaving cream.  I have also smelled my Grandmother as well.  I have smelled liliac perfume coming from down the hallway.  I live alone in the house and I don't wear liliac perfume and no one has used his cologne or shaving cream since I last put it on him the day that he died.  He knew that I loved to put his aftershave on him because it smelled so good on him.  I keep the bottle on the dresser and don't ever open it.
 So while some people would be creeped out, it doesn't seem to bother me.  There are times when I hear someone calling my nickname as well in the house and no one is in there with me except the dogs.  My mom's at her home.  It's happened about  6 times that I can recall, but I guess that I am used to it at this point.
