This is the kind of true story we need to read for Hallowe’en. It just proves to me that the spirit lives on after death.
I posted this in 2014, and reblog it most years around the time of Halloween. I don’t celebrate the festival myself, but I know almost everyone else does. This is a true story, and I have reposted it again for the benefit of the new followers who will not have seen it previously.

I had a similar experience with the sense of smell after my mother passed away. After she died I decided to take a blue rocking type chair that she would often sit in at her home. I placed it in a sitting room just off my bedroom.

We both looked at each other with wide eyes. I somehow believe this was her spirit letting us know she was okay.
