88. My dad visited me the night he died
Sat Jun 6, 2026, 01:24 AM
Yesterday

but I didn't know he was dead until the next day. Since I have insomnia I was awake and watching TV at 12:40 AM and I heard a man's hard soled shoes walking in the bathroom in the apt over mine. My dad was the only person that wore that type of shoe and I recognized the sound. I saw my neighbor was going outside to smoke a cig and I went out and I told him someone was walking around upstairs. That apt had been empty for 4 months. I told him to go up there and see what's up since it was dark and I'd wait and call the police. He refused to go up there since he was spooked.

The specific sounds my dogs made and my dad's shoes were clues meant for my ears.

I'm so glad you are open to experiencing stuff like this. If you are visited you must let me know about it!
