Ghosts and Hauntings---

[WVU alpha phi]

My last post was pretty long, so a quick separate one about one last ghost-related story with my aunt.

My grandfather passed away last spring, and he and my aunt were extremely close. Since she was a single mom for awhile, he was the father figure in my cousin's life. My aunt had a very hard time with his death. Shortly after he died, she and my mom were cleaning out his apartment. My aunt found a piece of paper in his drawer with "when angels take you home" written in my grandfather's handwriting. My aunt had said something to him during his passing along the lines of "let the angels guide you home."

Several months ago, my aunt was in the store looking at cards. She'd been feeling upset about my grandfather since the anniversary of his death was coming up. A man approached her that looked exactly like my grandfather's dead brother. He introduced himself in an Italian accent as Theodore (my grandmother's father, who had come to America from Italy and never spoke great English.) My aunt didn't say anything, but got emotional at the connection to my grandfather's brother and my grandmother's father. She said the man looked directly at her and said "your dad wants you to know he's alright." She looked down because she was very upset, and when she looked up, he was gone. She looked through the entire store and didn't find him, and even asked other people around her if they saw her talking to a man, but no one saw him.
