One of my dogs, Bonnie, was on the sofa looking like she did in life. She’d died with most of her fur gone and when I saw her on the sofa, she had all her fur back. We’d just gotten a puppy and the puppy barked. (It’s said that animals can sense when a spirit is present.) Our previous dog, I believe, was giving her blessing to our new family member. The indention of where she’d been remained for a good half hour after she left. And it was warm. (This was during an ice storm when no power was on in the house. No explanation for the warmth on that spot of sofa.)
A one time occurrence with her.
Then there was the time that I was at Church on Sunday and my mother was at home. She opened my bedroom door and said, “Oh, hello, Marie” and closed the door. It suddenly hit her that our beloved kitty had been deceased for 3 weeks. She opened the door again and Marie was gone.
When I came home, she told me about this. I reminded her that I’d told her 3 weeks earlier that we weren’t going to get another kitty until we’d both seen Marie’s apparition. That would mean that it was okay to get another kitty. I’d seen Marie’s apparition previously and now my mother had.
So this kitty appeared twice, once to each of us.
The most recent apparition was Mimi, who’d been deceased for over 10 years. I walked into my mother’s room and she was curled up on the floor. I remember stepping over her so I wouldn’t step on her and disturb her nap. Mama thought I’d tripped over something. I said, “No, can’t you see her?” She said, “See who?” I said, “Mimi, of course.” I turned and Mimi was gone.
One time with her.
And I’ve felt a fur baby next to me when all of the fur babies were staying with a friend. That one felt like Brigadier. Since it was nighttime, I didn’t see her. Just felt her. She was kitten size all her life. My sweet baby.
Apparitions are normal occurrences with us. We’ve had so many fur babies that we’re happy when one chooses to return even if only for a moment. Always a comforting experience. And yes, I see them when they appear. Just as solid as if they were still alive. I’ve never been afraid when I’ve seen them.
