This true tale happened in 2002 in Miami, Florida over the coarse of two months. I always was doubtful when it came to paranormal or weird creature sightings. Never had I come across a strange thing in my life -- until June and July of 2002.

My grandfather, Jeremy Sook, had recently passed away. It was very hard for me because I was very close to my grandpa. I was also very blue because my daughter Josiè was never going to meet grandpa.


Josiè would have loved Jeremy so much.

But the weird ghostly things started slowly after his death. Grandpa loved hiding our shoes and clothes in odd places when we were young. Getting ready for school, we would find our bags in the basement, cereal in the closet, and coats in the cupboards. He was funny like that that.

Early one morning after his death, I found my favorite pair of shoes in the freezer. Another time while getting Josiè ready for day care, I found my leather purse inside my pillow. But I still wasn't convinced.

It wasn't until three weeks later that I got this weird feeling of someone watching me. My husband John had left for two years at his work. Josiè would not stop crying in her crib. My mother said she would put me on my tummy whenever I started cring, but that could kill a child. Finally, I had enough. I layed Josiè down on her tummy. But as I was walking out the door, I felt someone go in the room. But it was only me and Josiè inside the house. The warm air had swept past my shoulder and into the room were a sound asleep Josiè slept in her crib.

Three hours later, as I was going to check on Josiè and give her supper, as I walked into the room, I felt someone leave, like their work here was done. I believe grandpa was looking over Josiè all that time. Even though my strange sightings only happened in two months, I think he is still here and always will be.
