To be really freaked out about seeing someone that wasn’t there??

My partners mum, step-dad, brother and 2 nieces are on holiday at the seaside so to we took our little one for the a day trip to have a beach day with his cousins today.

As we were driving into where they are staying and my partner was packing I said to him ‘I didn’t know your whole family was here’ when I saw his grandma standing next to his mum. He must have assumed that I was talking about his stepdad as he didn’t respond to it in a weird way/ask what I meant.

Then when we were inside I asked where his grandma had gone and where she was sleeping as they only have 2 bedrooms. Well it turns out that she isn’t there and is at home and I couldn’t have seen her because she’s not there??

What on earth happened?? What/who did I see?? Am I crazy now? 🙈

When I was 9 I thought I saw my nan in the kitchen with my mum.
I said to my mum "I thought I saw Nanny."
My mum said it must be a trick of the light plus my imagination. No one phoned to check she was okay.
She died 27 years later.

Just another story- my mum (very sceptical) saw my Dad in their flat years ago, thought he was home early from work, but he wasn't there. He was completely fine, arriving home later that evening, she used to say she thought maybe it was because they were really in love? I've no idea.

I won't be able to sleep now until I know if Grandma is ok

LoveRosesClimbing · 30/07/2024 23:33

I’ve had this kind of hallucination of seeing people I know out and about and my mums has had this about me! Just human brains doing their crazy stuff. Though I had a terrible anxiety feeling the day that someone close passed away unexpectedly so I also hope that the granny in this situation is OK.

Are you suggesting the OP may be ill?

Surely it’s far more reasonable to presume that Granny died earlier in the day and her ghost fancied a quick trip to the seaside before heading up to the pearly gates

This 😂😂😂 👏

MrsSkylerWhite · 30/07/2024 23:30

Have you called her?

Foxlover46 · 30/07/2024 23:29

I too am wondering about granny

Lwrenn · 30/07/2024 23:28

Another one invested in how granny is doing.

And despite being the least spiritual human I know, also irrationally spooked by this thread 😂

Keep a note of any similar things happening or anything else odd, with a view to seeing your GP if it continues.

When I was little I 'saw' Santa run fast past our kitchen window when it was dark! I was so excited... we were in the arsehole of nowhere, but that was no Santa but a trick of the imagination!!

Boring answer in simple terms... it uses too much valuable energy to pay attention, so our brain constantly makes things up based on learned norms.

I'm commenting just so I can see how Granny is!

OiFatArse · 30/07/2024 22:53

Has anyone cancelled the cheque yet ?

FloofPaws · 30/07/2024 22:45

Granny needs a check in for sure!

Sinderalla · 30/07/2024 22:39

Check in on grandma x

NotSoHotMess24 · 30/07/2024 22:31

Maybe your brain went a bit smooshy in the heat!

Check on Granny for sure, but if she's fine, drink plenty of water tonight, and stay in the shade tomorrow.

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 30/07/2024 22:21

My nan saw her brother when she was on holiday, except he was at home. They later found out he’d died at the time she saw him.

Hopefully Granny’s fine, but doesn’t hurt to check.
