I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this..if not, please move it.
Anyway, my father had been ill with cancer for a few months and my brother and I were taking it in turns to care for him at his house (apart from when he fell, broke his hip and was hospitalised for a while until he was able to come home, where he died after a few days).
My dad died overnight and , having phoned members of my family, my daughter in law, who is a nurse, came down to give me a hand with things. I was upstairs and she was in the kitchen doing a bit of tidying up. She suddenly saw outside in the garden by the couple of steps leading up to the kitchen door, a white figure (she though for a moment it was me and that I'd come down quietly without her noticing.) She only told me this after I'd told her about my slightly odd experience. I asked her if it was an angel or male or female...she said she didn't know, it was just a white figure. She does not believe in God or anything supernatural, is very practical and not given to fanciful imaginations.
The slightly odd experience that I had was a couple of weeks after my dad's death. I was in his bedroom (his and my mum's ashes were both in there on the mantelpiece) whilst my brother, who'd been down for a week or so had been sorting stuff out (he is executor) was showing stuff he'd done. I suddenly felt a bit weird and like there was a bit oif pressure in my head (not sure if this was before or after I knew the ashes were there.) After I left the room, this feeling disappeared. I meant to go in there later to see if this feeling came back, but forgot.
I just wondered if anyone might have any idea about what all this could have been. I find it rather unsettling..and am glad I don't have to sleep in the house uness my brother's there! The house was built abpout 1898 and there were only two previous owners to my parents.
My younger sister actually, had recounted to me ages ago, that when she was a child, she had looked up the stairs to the half landing and seen a hunched over man (with a hat on, I think) sitting at the top of the stairs. Whether this was dream or imagination, I don't know.
Anyhow, prior to my dad's death, I had never experienced anything 'weird' in the house before, and I'd lived there from the age of four until I left home (my dad bought the house about 63 years ago and lived there ever since).
