This forum has been too long without a ghost story, so I thought I'd throw one in:
About three years ago a dear friend of my brother's was under some degree of stress because one of her children was diagnosed as being terminally ill. There was a chance that the cancer would go into remission, but it was a slim chance at best. The stress on her wasn't doing her health any good and she needed a rest badly.
One day she had left her kids with her sister and came over to our house just to relax among friends. We were having a barbecue. As she walked up the driveway with the snacks she had brought, she told us about a dream she had where a woman had entered her home while she was watching over her sick son. The woman picked up her son's hand, then looked at her and said "Everything's going to be fine. You can relax now." She had awoken with a strange feeling of calmness about her. When she checked in on her son, he relayed a similar dream where a lady came into his room, held him and sang him a song that made him feel better inside.
We took the snacks into the kitchen and headed back outside to introduce her to the rest of the family. (She had only ever met my brother before this day.) As we cut through the front room she stopped right in her tracks. With her jaw on the floor, she pointed at a picture on the piano.
"That's her!" she exclaimed. "That's the woman I dreamed about!" She was visibly shaken, so I got her some water and we walked her outside so she could sit down in the fresh air. My brother explained to her about the picture.
The picture was my mother's graduation photo from high school. She had died about one month before. The child's cancer soon went into remission and he now lives a healthy normal life.
This is a true story.
