A netizen shared how he was “warned” about his grandfather’s impending death when he was a kid.

Here is the story

When I was 11, I live with two sisters and my grandpa. My mother just gave us zero fucks and kinda moved elsewhere with her ex.

It was around 3a.m., and I got up to get some water. Just for picture, one of my living room walls was almost completely taken by the window, which let some street lights to get in.

When I was going back to my room, I went through the living room and saw someone very tall and very thin, as my grandpa, standing in front of the window.

The thing is: it had no features. It was like a silhouette cut from the background, just black. I ran to my room in panic.

A week later, when I got up in the morning, I found my grandpa laying on the bathroom floor. He had a stroke.

The doctors said he had it around 3a.m. Exactly a week after I saw the shadow. My grandpa never woke up. He died about two weeks later.

Just for additional facts, maybe just coincidences: it was August 17, 2003. It was my sister’s birthday. And exact nine years later I had my son.

Netizens’ comments

That’s both creepy and sad at the same time. I’m sorry for you and your family for losing someone like that. The date thing is really spooky though

Sounds like you saw his spirit! Or something like it since time doesn’t really exist after you cross over, at least not how the human mind comprehends time. I really believe that important dates in families are so significant that is so interesting that your son was born on that same exact day out of 365 others. My grandmother died on my first birthday.
