Great Grandmother's Ghost

I was about 13 years-old when this happened. I had spent the
night over at my grandmother's house and was sleeping in the same room
with my 2 smaller cousins (ages 9 and 5). Because I was not used to
sleeping with all of the lights off, I had asked my Grandma to leave the
hall light on. In the past, a section of the back patio was roofed and
turned into a laundry, so my cousins' room had a window that led into
this small laundry room. At about 3-4 A.M. that night I felt rather cold
(it was summer at that time), and sat up on the bed to pull my blankets
up. To my surprise, I noticed the clear image of an old woman looking at
me through the window. I can not explain why, but I felt this
overwhelming peace and calmness. She had a faint glow around her white
hair and had a calm expression on her face. I pulled my blankets up and
went back to sleep. The next morning I had a lot of troubles trying to
figure out if it had been a dream or if it did really happened. So I
told my Grandma all that happened and asked her if she knew this old
lady. She told me never to tell anything to my younger cousins and told
me the old lady was my Great Grandmother and she died when I was about 3
years old in the same room I had slept the night before. I am still
amazed by the fact that I possibly watched a ghost with my own eyes and
still I felt extremely calm. I guess she meant me no harm.
