Well my grandpa died and since im chinese you have this thing that whenever a family member dies you put a small shrine in your house and pray and feed them (leave snacks by their picture) for a few weeks.
Well my story is that i heard my grandpa in my living room with his friends!
Sounded like some guy washing dishes, 5 or 6 people talking to eachother and footsteps all over my living room! They ate the oranges i fed them! 4laugh
Lol xd

I didn't know about that tradition, though I've read about feasts for the dead. I've always thought it would be purely symbolic to set a place and lay out a meal for a deceased relative. How novel, to hear that they actually eat the food.
That certainly beats out any, 'omg Santa ate the cookies' moments. xd

Oh hun! I am really sorry that I didn't reply to this sooner! I had one summer where I lost both of my great grandpas, two aunts, and an uncle. That was the worst summer that I've ever had...but when I dream about them, I still see their faces clear as day. It's comforting to know that I haven't forgotten them yet.

I'm sorry to hear that he died, hun. sad
I think he misses you, that's why he makes his presence felt. He's telling you that he loves you.

I know what you mean (i'm chinese too XD) but what my family do is that twice a year, we all go out to their graves and place a couple of oranges just at the tombstone for them to eat.
