The Dead Niece

Our young niece died unexpectedly. We rushed over and stayed the night at the home to support family. I couldn’t sleep. My wife woke up a bit after midnight because she heard “footsteps.”

Some time after calming her down a talking toy activated on it’s own in one of the boxes across the room. and she began to cry again. I found it in the pile of boxes with other toys, and brought it to the bed with us. It had batteries, but the switch was in the OFF position.

We asked the deceased to answer yes by making it talk, and no with nothing. We spent almost an hour asking questions. It was very peaceful, and reassuring. At a point, it got to be too much, and my wife asked it to stop. It never activated again.

That was a few years back. There have been a few times since when we are having a deep conversation about her, and a random item will fall off the bar or a shelf on the other side of the room. Like someone bumped into to.

We stopped talking deeply about her almost a year ago
