8. Haunted House
My grandmother was diagnosed as terminally ill with cancer during my first college semester. To help her, I moved into her home with my grandfather. She was only given two months to live, but she lived for nine.
Soon after her death I would be alone at home and see her walking down the halls or sense her sitting behind me on a bed in the computer room. I was not scared, but it caught me off guard.
A girl I was seeing stopped by the house and I went into the garage to grab something that she had waiting for me next to the laundry room. I hugged my girlfriend for a few moments when a dog ran through the house. We could hear the feet/nails of the dog hitting the tile. The sounds got closer until the dog ran directly between us and through the closed garage door.
Both of us looked at eachother in disbelief, and then we left. The dog that I remembered was a pet that my grandparents had owned for many years and died when I was only two. I remember it only from photos.
