Let me tell you about one of my favorite medium experiences. I have sleep apnea and often see ghosts while I am falling asleep or waking up – in that in-between state where your eyes are open but you can still see visions.
I was 37 and working at an auto repair shop as an estimator. My boss asked me to drive a car over to the Progressive insurance estimate hub so they could write their estimate and compare it with ours. As I drove into the parking lot, I saw a tow truck flatbed with a mangled motorcycle strapped to it. I thought to myself “Oh no. Someone definitely died in that accident. I hope they don’t follow me home.” I shivered involuntarily. This was out of character for me. I’d seen lots of totalled vehicles in my career, and didn’t think much of it.
The next morning it was a beautiful Saturday, and sunlight was streaming through my bedroom window. As I awoke and opened my eyes, I saw a redheaded, bearded man leaning over my face. I jolted awake and froze, and saw his blue eyes crinkle at the corners with amusement. He wore a bandanna over his longish hair, and his cheeks were ruddy as if he had just come in from the cold. I immediately felt at ease. He smiled at me as if we’d just shared a joke and said “My name is Bill.” Then he disappeared.
I remember thinking – that was the motorcyclist, and he DID follow me home. I think he just wanted to be seen. He seemed at ease and happy. He never showed himself to me again.
I just wanted to share this so you know that not all ghosts are scary. Sometimes they are just people/spirits who have a playful spirit and want to be acknowledged one more time before they leave this world. I know I would have really liked this man had I met him in life. He seemed like he had a wonderful sense of humor. He sure thought it was funny that I looked as I would wet myself when I first saw him peering down at me.
