Albuquerque, New Mexico Ghost Tales | |
|
About four summers ago a friend and I were in Albuquerque in Old Town. We had stopped at the tiny and beautiful Guadalupe Chapel there. When the photos were developed after we got home, the pictures were filled with orbs everywhere! The energy there was ''spirited'' but very pleasant. A group of us are going there next month and will be sure to stop in Old Town and the lovely little chapel. And, about 10 years ago on my first trip to Old Town in one of the restaurants I had the spirit of a Spanish Colonial lady walk out of the wall and through me as I was waiting for my table. Once seated, a ghostly little boy was tugging my long hair, which I kept feeling. My friend across the table could see him sneak up on me time and again! It's good that spirits don't frighten me as long as they're not negative. These were happy spirits. I think the woman was the mother of the little boy. 400 years later and she's still trying to make him behave.

When I was 5 years old, my Grandpa passed away. Me and my mom were on our way back from a visit to him and my Grandma in Mexico, my dad stayed back because my Grandpa didn't feel well. The last memory I had from him is him sitting on the bed wrapped in a blanket, and my dad patting him on the back. About 3 years later, I was in bed

and could barely sleep, I was reading a small chapter book and looked up for a second, there standing in the corner of my room was my Grandpa. He looked slick, and laid back and then he vanished into thin air. Since then, some of my other family members, like my cousins mostly, have seen Grandpa in there room. The most recent was my cousin, who is 4 years old, has seen the same thing in his room. I feel happy to know that he has checked up on us, but I really think he is waiting for my Grandma, so they can always be together. He loved her a lot. And I know they will always be together. I know he is out there and he cares. That makes me feel like I can trust him.

My grandfather passed away leaving when my grandmother was bedridden after a stroke. They had never slept apart since after WW2 until grandpa fell ill. Following grandpa?s admission to hospital within 24 hours grandma had a debilitating stroke. Grandpa and my mom had a great relationship as did my daughter and I with him. After his death, he would appear

to play checkers or ?Go Fish? with my then 7 year old daughter. My daughter was not making too much sense in those days but she was adamant about Grandpa D. coming to her room.
One night about 02:30 hrs, I heard a male voice coming from my daughter?s room at the opposite end of the house. That voice was familiar with rasping and sharp intake of grandpa?s emphysema Loaded with my pistol, I walked in to find my daughter seemingly talking to air but the rocking chair that was my grandpa?s favorite when he was alive was moving slowly back and forth. Meanwhile, Cathy, our German Shepherd dog, was focused on that chair. Within seconds, my daughter turned to me and said, ?Grandpa has to go now.? I said, ?Goodnight, grandpa. I miss you.? The chair stopped rocking and you could tell that his presence had gone. My daughter wasn?t scared so I told her that it was time to ?hit the rack?, I turned out the light and headed back to my room. It was a sleepless night but I now had proof (to me) that he was watching over my little girl.
It gets better: Grandpa would appear to me on various occasions. His comment would be ?Check on Milly (grandma)? then he would turn a shuffle off from my bedroom door and disappear within seconds. I would call the nursing home where she resided and ask the staff to check on Grandma.
Each time it was weird but here goes:
1.)She had fallen out of bed on her way to the bathroom.
2.)She had been given an inadequate dose of insulin and was having a reaction.
3.)She had accidentally pulled her IV.
4.)She was dying and since I had called, she did not die alone. The charge nurse was with her after I called in her last 3 minutes. She had signed a DNR.
Once grandma had passed on, my grandfather focused his attentions on my mother and daughter. My mom developed lung cancer in 1997. While she was undergoing Chemotherapy, she was pretty much bedridden herself. Twice grandpa came to tell me up to check on her. Once my mom had stopped breathing but I managed to revive her. The second time, grandpa let me know that mom needed me. I was 30 miles away walking into a restroom at a restaurant when he appeared at about 1:00 PM. I called my now 13 YO daughter?s school and had her sent home. She found my mom on the floor of her bathroom, she had broken her ankle. Now mom admits that she has seen and talked to grandpa, when she had another close call with cancer and later when my dad was in the hospital for heart surgery.
As for my daughter, now aged 22 YO. Grandpa still appears to her mostly when she is just beside herself because of my ex-wife or her family. When she was visiting my Ex for visitation, she said that she could feel him around JIC.
Physical location means nothing to him. To date, Grandpa has appeared in Albuquerque (NM), South Central Indiana, Grand Prairie (TX) and Wickenburg (AZ).
