Here's a good one. My grandfather had just passed away. Shortly thereafter my grandma was constantly calling my dad wanting him to stop by. Finally she told him she was mad because pop was haunting her. Things were falling off of shelves and out of cabinets. The spookiest thing was one of those holiday teddy bears on a shelf. It had one of those electronic music boxes in it. When you squeezed the switch in the paw, holiday music would play. Well, the thing would play by itself constantly! Only in that house though. Once removed from the premises by a great-grandchild it quit doing it. My uncle and grandma were the only ones that saw things falling. Everyone but me heard the bear at one time or another. I just figured it was just a faulty switch or something. It doesn't surprise me. Supernatural stuff doesn't seem to like me. Whenever I'm at a place that supposedly has haunting activity, nothing happens. Ouiga boards never worked, etc. I had a freind who used to do card readings on me because she thought I got the weirdest readings. I almost always had readings that didn't make any sense to her. The only thing she ever pulled from them is that they were "Cards that represent strength of some type". But I digress! Back to the story!

Anyway, we couldn't figure out why grandpa would want to stick around and cause trouble. He had lived a long fulfilling life and said so on many occasions. He passed peacefully and seemed happy to do so. Then we started remembering some funny things grandpa said that now made sense. For years he was always talking about an "Angel" who would visit and talk to him at night. He said the "Angel would tell him that his time was near, and that they would be together" The stories always seemed to be along these lines with minor differences. We figure the ghost thought that once grandpa passed, he would be there with him/her and be a buddy. But Grandpa had no reason to stick around, he was happy and ready to find peace. I guess once the ghost figured out grandpa wasn't coming back, it threw a temper tantrum. At any rate the incidents quit and grandma moved out.
