I wondered if anyone could throw any light on this.
Quite a few years ago Dh was leaving our flat for work and I was still in bed. I was awake, but had my eyes closed. Dh shouted goodbye & I heard the door shut. Then seconds later I heard footsteps in the bedroom and felt a presence. I thought it was dh coming back having forgotton something. I opened my eyes, no one there. I put my head back on the pillow and then I felt 'someone' sit on the bed. At this point I shut my eyes, terrified of what it could be. I felt the person lie down next to me and pull themself into me, as if snuggling up to me and then all feeling of them having been there disappeared. This happened several times. Then we moved to our house and after a while the same thing started to happen. Always getting into bed with me, moving upto me and disappearing. (feels like they are sinking into me) It felt like a small child. Always when I was on my own. I also heard some one call mum, (before I was a mum) when I was alone in the house (no children in house either side) and saw 'hi y'all' in the steam in the shower door.
The 'visits' continued for quite a while, but only about 5/6 times a year. Until, that was, that I decided I wanted a baby, and dd didn't. Then it was more like 1 a month.
Once I became pg it stopped. It only happened 3/4 times after dd was born and leaving that house (dd was 2.10 at this point). I haven't had anything since.
There has only been 1 time I have seen anything, totally unrelated,(and pre dd) but I saw dh's grandfather in the early hours of the morning. He was standing by dh's side of the bed. We got a call fairly early that morning to say he had passed away. I think he was coming to see dh (we were in UK, he lived in Oz) before he could pass. Sad to say I hid under the quilt!
Any thoughts?
