The night my ex mother in law died I had taken my daughter to the store to get her some candy to make her feel better. She was very close to her grandma and had taken the news of her death very badly. We bought the candy and came out of the store and got into our Blazer. I was just getting ready to start it when all of the sudden we heard music playing. It was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I looked at my daughter and she looked at me. I asked her if some of the candy I had bought for her was musical and she said no. She started to feel around on the floor and finally from under the seat she pulled out a plastic canvas bunny doorknob hanger that her grandma had made for her. It was playing the song. I said oh ok thats what it was and she looked at me and said mommy this has been broken for a long time. It played the song completely through 1 time then quit. We pressed it again and it wouldnt play anymore, and still hasn't to this day...
Grandma's Late Night Visit
After just coming out of the hospital from having my second daughter, my family(the new baby, my other daughter, my husband, and I) was staying at my mom's house. We were all sleeping in the living room. My older daughter was sleeping on the love seat and my husband and I were sleeping on the fold out couch. I woke up the one morning and everyone else was still sleeping except my husband. He looked at me and said that in the middle of the night he had awakened to see a woman sitting in the chair that was facing the foot of the bed. He said she was just sitting there staring at him. When he seen her he told me he just threw the blankets up over his head and went back to sleep. About an hour after he had told me this my older daughter woke up and said "mommy I woke up in the middle of the night and seen an old woman standing by the fireplace(which was right next to where she was sleeping)watching me". My daughter did'nt seem to be frightened by this experience. Now you might be thinking that she had heard us talking, but I dont think she did. My daughter sleeps like a log and I know she was asleep while we talked about this. I just thought it was pretty cool that they had both seen my grandma the same night. At least I figure it was one of my grandma's anyway. Both my grandmother and my great-grandmother died in that house.
