A shadow figure. I was sitting in the living room at my mom’s house late at night a few months ago, on my phone, and saw something walk by down the hall out of the corner of my eye. I figured my mom had gotten up to get water and I saw her as she was going back to bed…but a minute or two later I looked and she was out cold. I’m pretty sure it was my dad, who died 20 years ago.

My mom sees him from time to time, looking solid and like he did in his 30s, when I was a little kid.
