My mother and I believe in ghosts and the supernatural and we quite
often discussed it.
One day when we were talking, my mother said, "When I die I will let
you know for sure if there is an afterlife." I agreed at first then I
told her that I changed my mind because it would totally freak me out.
In November, 1994 she passed away unexpectedly after a massive
stroke. After her funeral I decided to pack away her belongings. She
lived in a granny flat which was connected to our house. During that
time I didn't sense anything strange, only that the flat was always very
cold, and being November in Australia it is summer.
One night around 2 AM, I think, about a week after her death my
husband woke up in a cold sweat. He opened his eyes and saw an image of
my mother. She was smiling at him, dressed in white, and her image
looked misty. Well, he totally freaked and then she disappeared. The
next morning he told me. I was so shocked because my husband has to the
world's biggest skeptic about ghosts and believes that when you die that
is it. And for him to say something like that threw both of us. Since
then he has mixed feelings about it.
Over the years I have thought what might have been going through my
mother's mind and I think she stuck to her word, but instead of visiting
me, she had visited my husband. And maybe when she was smiling at him
she might have been saying that she is happy and there is an afterlife
after all. Also I think she purposely visited my husband because she
knew of all people to visit he would have been the perfect one to let me
know because of his disbelief.
