Do you believe in ghosts? No, not the floating kind with sheets draped over them dragging chains, but I mean if I told you I saw my Uncle sitting in a wicker chair beside my bed the night after he passed away, would you believe me?
If you answered no, then please leave this contest because this is for those who truly have seen a loved one after they died. I want to know how you felt, what they looked like, full feature or just a blur but you knew they were there, why do you think they were there, what did you say, and was it something that helped you deal with their loss, or did it make you uncomfortable or even angry?
Please put Uncle Bud in your author notes, failure will result in DQ. ( I hate doing that)
Rules rules and rules....

Ok
1. For everybody's sake NO EROTIC crap, that would be sick and twisted!
2. Commenting is fine, but if you don't have nothing nice to say, keep your fat mouth shut!
3. If this is about Hell or satan, well, I just dont want to imagine these types of encounters k.
4. rhyme, or free style
5. I really do not know why cussing would be an issue, but just in case some idiot thinks its ok to cuss like standing around a construction site, NO CUSSING!
6. Don`t be dumb and think that faking an experience with a ghost will get you anywhere, if it sounds to fake or far fetched I will ask you about somethings, and if you are lying I will DQ.
7. Poem must be at least 20 lines or more, and no spacing any lines ok.

fascinating contest...
I would enter, but I suck horribly at Rhyming poetry.
I can tell you one thing, though. I have had an experience. I didn't see my mother or anything, but it involved the frost on my window. I used to write messages to my mom in the frost when i was little. My mother died in August, but she was born in january, and there was frost on the window. She wrote me a little message, thanking me for the birthday gift. (I had gotten some flowers at the store, and put them in her favorite vase, on her birthday.) It scared me at first, but a calm came over me.
Since then, I've believe in the paranormal and other such things, as I've had other experiences, including a nasty one of being pushed down the stairs.
beautiful idea for a contest, and I wish I could enter.

Answer to your question
I felt a bit more at ease with his death, I felt this was our way of saying goodbye, I wasnt scared, and my uncle had polio all his life and was in a wheelchair, but that night that I seen him, he was able to move freely and in no pain, without his wheelchair.
It was awesome.
