For the last 2 nights, Mema has seen ghosts in her room. Yesterday morning she told me she had a nightmare the night before (good that she recognized it as such, because most times she doesn't). She said there was a ghost sitting on top of her bookshelf. "It sat there silently," she said, "but if it's going to be in my room, at least it should talk to me!"
She also woke up at one time, and thought there were snakes in her room. Turns out her fan was on oscillate, and when it blew towards her chair, it was flapping the coverlet she had on the chair, which was undulating very snake-like!!!
Last night Mema came into our room at 1:15 a.m. (I had JUST gotten into a deep sleep). She had left her walker in her room and held onto the walls to get to our room. She said there was something outside and a ghost was looking in the window. "Not the whole ghost, but just the head," she said. I turned on the light on the deck and opened the curtain to show her there was nothing outside. However, it was raining and there was heavy thunder & lightning. I told her that must be what she saw.
She then said that there was a car in the yard with it's lights shining in her window. Again I told her, "It's just the lightning, Mema. There is nowhere for a car in the backyard... it's just woods."
She sat on the bed and told me she was scared, "I need a hug." I hugged her and reassured her there was nothing outside, just the rainstorm, thunder & lightning, and that she was just having a nightmare again. I told her that she could come sleep in our bed or on the sofa in my room, if she would like, but she asked me to leave her door open instead (she NEVER sleeps with the door open!). I kissed her & hugged her goodnight again, and left the door wide open.
