Anyone know about the supernatural!?

[Fentylipgloss]

Little bit of backstory...

So when I was 12 I was at home alone with my granny (mum had gone to a function that evening) when she sadly passed away from an aortic aneurysm, I found her on the floor in the utility room as I had to walk past it to open the door to let my mum in.

(Spooky side note, that evening she stood in mums hallway after using the toilet, looked at me and said 'I wouldn't be surprised if I die tonight.) Words that'll never leave me. She was my best friend :-(

Anyway, we had a few unexplainable things happen post here passing, the most strange one was about 2 weeks after she'd passed we (as a family) were all out one weekend, no one home and at the time my step dad was a rep. On the Monday there was a phone call from one of my step dads customers saying he'd left a message at the weekend because he needed urgently needed to place an order. We all knew that when a customer called we had to take down a name, their company and phone number otherwise there'd be trouble. We could hear the convo happening this particular Monday and my step dad asked who took the message and the customer said a female and something else was said which we didn't hear. When he got off the phone my sister and I knew we'd get the blame but the customer told my step dad 'an elderly lady took the call'. My mum at the time was only in her early 40s. To this day we still can't work it out.

Okay, so I'll get to my actual reason for writing this... Currently I'm staying at my mums to help her (she's unwell and her 85 year old husband has dementia). This is the same place my gran passed away. I have never 'felt' anything weird here until recently. EVERY time I walk near or through the utility room where she died I get the weirdest feeling up the back of my head, almost like pins and needles. This doesn't happen anywhere else (and I sleep in granny's old bedroom), only where she died. To be honest it's beginning to freak me out a little bit.

Any ideas? Or am I just losing my mind?

Maybe your picking up on residual energy left behind as that’s the place she past away. I think sometimes strong emotions or events like someone dying can leave an energy imprint on the place it took place. This is different to an intelligent haunting.

Im no expert but watch a lot of paranormal programs lol. If the energy feels unpleasant, heavy or negative you could always try burning some sage in that area and saying a prayer to cleanse the space.

I think it's simply that seeing her dead as a child left a profound impression on you and taking care of elderly parents may bring back the fear of finding one of them gone one morning. The memory of what happened and the sense of history repeating itself is what's making you feel weird, not any ghost.

As to the phone call, voices can sound weird on the phone. One of you probably took the call then forgot and their voice sounded (to the customer) like an old lady's voice.

This.

And, regarding the phone call - I have a 'young' voice (not childish, just young) and people are always disappointed surpised to meet me having spoken on the phone.

Lol, nobody knows about the ‘supernatural’.

This.

You have to prefer the simple explanation and this is it.

I things go Ok with your mum. It’s exhausting being a carer.

I cant answer your specific question but I have a battery operated doorbell with no batteries that has gone off every night for the last 4 years since my mum passed and plays music that isn't even on the list, like song of the south or dogs barking, i can't even locate it, I got cross with it tonight when it went off so it repeated itself

Sorry about what happened to your granny how awful for you to have found her!

But sorry there’s nothing untoward here.

Her saying she might die is a coincidence.

Your stepdad sounds like a dick and the customer probably heard your nervous mum (worried about the trouble there’d be) on the phone and got the age wrong .

you probably have subconscious trauma going to the place you found your beloved nan dead hence the tingling feeling.

You can’t locate your doorbell?

I wonder if your Granny was experiencing an "impending sense of doom" in the hours prior to her passing away. This can happen when someone is going to have a cardiac arrest type event, must be a reaction when something is going drastically wrong physically. If she felt this then she very likely voiced that feeling, without knowing herself that something really serious was happening/ about to happen.

Have you monitored visitors to your neighbour's house, just to see if there is any correlation between 'your' battery-less door bell going off and people arriving at their home? 😑

@SabiRiver

She literally died like an hour later.

its always in the early hours though, I did consider this, and how does it ring with no batteries. My DD said to it one night, "if there is someone here please ring again" and it did we have all got used to it now.

@Trez1510

We were actually away that weekend when the phone call happened. No one was there to answer. Plus we had an answering machine that should've picked up.

I removed it, took out the batteries and now have an old fashioned door knocker. so when i say cant locate it. the sound comes from my bedroom but despite looking everywhere i cant find the original transmitter

@Fentylipgloss Ah. Mea culpa. I misread your post. 😊

Ooohhh…this has properly put chills down my spine in the wee hours.

I, too, think it likely that caring for your elderly mum/her husband in the same place as finding your granny, is making you think about her and therefore you’re spooking yourself.

Saying that, I used to work in a pub where the glasses used to fly off the shelves behind the bar and smash (probably built up air pressure inside wet glasses upside down on polished wood) and the hand dryer used to go off when I was alone in the girls’ loos (faulty fuse?). I left the day I was in the cellar and turned round to find a barrel had moved to the other side though when I was alone, setting up. I just couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation!

@LaughingCat

This is weird. I too worked in a spooky pub for many years. We use to come in and the optics would be on the bar, glasses would be over, chairs would be pulled out from under the tables (which we always had to push in at the end of the night). Only once did I feel something and that was when I had to go out into the kitchen after hours, I got very shivery.

'Bob the spirit' apparently wasn't a nice entity (according to lots of other employees) .... There was a story that he was a landlord that passed away in the building many many years ago, the pub dates back to the 15th century.

If someone tells you that they know anything about the supernatural they will be wrong.

I think all your examples have very simple explanations and none of them are spooky.

@Fentylipgloss - I quite like that you called him Bob, though! I heard that in Rowan Atkinson’s voice 😁

@knittingaddict - I’m dying to know how you think a 30kg keg stacked on one side of a cellar could have moved to the other side while I was cleaning the lines, when I was the only person in a locked pub. That has haunted me for years. If you’ll pardon the pun. 😂
