This story is kinda long but we didn’t want to leave
anything that might mean something out. Most of it has to
do with lights. Some may be co-incidental but there is way
too much for it all to be co-incidence.
Here are the people involved:
(S) – My brother-in-law who passed away Feb 8th 2003
(M) – My other brother-in-law
(S2) – My nephew (D&S)’s son
(D) – My sister (S)’s wife
(C) – My niece (D&S)’s daughter
(P) – My sister (M)’s wife
(N) – My nephew (P&M)’s son
(R) - Me
(D2) – (S)’s sister in Georgia
February 8th 2003 at around 3:30 pm, my brother-in-law (S)
passed away from a massive heart attack. He was a
commissioner for the Pony League and was at the high school
for baseball tryouts. He was loading baseballs into the
pitching machine when he collapsed. The man who was paired
up with him said that he was acting normal all day and
showed no signs that he was having trouble of any kind.

Saturday morning, my nephew (S2) was bad at CCD so my
sister (D) grounded him and wouldn't let him go to the
baseball tryouts with(S). Normally (S2) would have gone to
any baseball related things with (S). (D) told (S) that
she was tired of (S2)n acting up so he was going to have to
learn his lesson. If (S2)n would have gone with (S), he
would have been there to watch his dad collapse.
(P) worked at the hospital that day. If it would have been
2 hours earlier that (S) had his heart attack, she would
have been in the emergency room when they brought him in.
She said that recently whenever they have called a code
blue in route, she has been calling (M) to make sure
everyone was all right.
Saturday night, (M) was in the bathroom and all of a sudden
the lights went off. He figured it was just a breaker that
had tripped so he decided to check it out. As he was
leaving the bathroom, he noticed that the light switch was
in the off position. He went back by the sink to see if he
may have bumped it with his elbow to turn it off but there
was no way that he could have done that from where he was
and there was no one in the house close enough to turn it
off.

Dad changed a light bulb at (D)’s house. The newspaper
started showing up at (P) and (M)s house and has been
showing up ever since. They don't subscribe to the
newspaper.
02-10-03
(M), and (D) were gathering up some stuff for (S)’s
funeral, (a baseball hat, baseball, fishing lures, pictures
etc.). As they were going around the house, (D) wasn't sure
were to find the fishing lures so she went downstairs into
(S)’s work room. She opened one of the cabinets above the
workbench, and sitting right in front was a picture of (S)
and the baseball team from the first time they won the
baseball championship. The team was sponsored by the same
funeral home that took care of (S)’s funeral. (D) said she
had no idea that the picture was there or what it would be
doing inside of the cabinet in the workroom. It is more
something that would be in a scrapbook.
(M) went to the funeral home to drop off the stuff. When he
got there he gave the bag to them and said, “(S) needs his
stuff” then left. When he was walking out he was wondering
to himself why he said it in that way. He got in the van
and ended up driving the wrong direction (away from (D)’s)
for a few miles till (P) called him and asked where he was.
He said he would be there in a few minutes then turned
around.
(M) was at (D)’s and noticed that the motion light wasn't
working. He figured out that the switch was turned off for
some reason. (D) asked him to change the light going down
the stairs so he did that too.
A few months earlier, (P) bought a couple of table lamps
for the living room. When they put the 3-way light bulbs in
them, both of them would only work in 1 position the middle
position. They tried changing bulbs a few times and nothing
changed. They liked the lamps so decided to keep them
anyway. Two days after (S) died, (M) went to turn one of
the lamps on and it worked in all 3 positions. He tried the
other lamp and it worked in all 3 positions too.
(P) was at (D)’s and turned on the light switch for the
lamp in the living room. (P) said, “The light is working
now”. When they tried to turn it on earlier that day it
didn't work. (C) said that Grandpa changed a light earlier
that day but wasn't sure if it was the same one.
(P) was in the bathroom and (M) was lying on the couch
thinking about all of the problems with the lights. He was
saying to himself “The lights are working” over and over
again. All of a sudden, it was as if he was looking down a
tunnel of light with a bright ring of light around the
outside edge. It looked like a tornado turned sideways and
he was looking right down the center of it. He sat up, the
whole time looking down this tunnel of light. He took a
deep breath and it was like an adrenaline rush times 100 or
the goose bumps times a billion. He took 2 more deep
breaths and each time, the power kept getting stronger and
stronger. He doesn't remember exhaling he just remembers
inhaling. He called to (P) and said, “I've got it, I've got
the lights.” (P) came rushing into the room and (M)s face
was all flushed. She was ready to call 911 but (M) stopped
her and told her what he saw. He said he felt total
calmness come over him and that this was (S)’s way of
telling us that the tunnel of light was for real and he had
made his way into heaven. (P) and (M) called (D) to tell
her about it and she said that right about that time she
was talking to (S) asking him if she was doing everything
ok.
02-11-03
The bathroom light in (S)’s parents bathroom started
flickering on and off. The bathroom was just re-modeled by
(S) last fall and the light was new. (S)’s dad replaced the
bulb and it seems to be working ok.
After the funeral, (M) told the priest about what had been
happening and what he saw. The priest said that he had
heard similar stories and that he believed that (M) had
witnessed a miracle.
(P) and (D) were going outside of (P)'s house the night
after the funeral. There is a motion light outside of the
house. When they went out, it didn't come on. They could
see the little red indicator light coming on but the lights
themselves wouldn't come on. They were waving their arms
around in front of it to try to make it come on but it
wasn't working. (P) called (M) to tell him that the lights
wouldn't come on and as soon as she mentioned the light, it
came on.
Later, (M) went home, all of the leftover cookies from the
funeral were on the counter at (P) and (M)s. They were all
sealed up in the containers. Someone made the comment that
if (S) were there right now that he would be hanging
around the cookies grazing. Later on, (M) was walking down
the hall towards the kitchen and heard a container open.
Their dog heard it too and looked towards the kitchen. When
(M) got to the kitchen, one of the containers was open. The
containers take a little bit of effort to open and couldn't
have just popped open by themselves.
02-12-03
(M) went to the gas station to fill up the van. He got the
gas started then decided to get back in the van out of the
cold. As soon as he got back in the van, the pump shut off.
He got back out and got the pump started again. He waited a
couple of seconds to make sure it would keep going then got
back in the van. As soon as he closed the door, the pump
shut off again. He got back out, got the pump started
again, waited a few more seconds, and then went to get back
in the van. As soon as he touched the door handle the pump
shut off again. He said, “Damn it (S). You're gonna make me
stand out here in the cold the whole time.” He got the pump
running and stood there and the pump didn't shut off again
till it was done.
02-13-03
(N) was sleeping in (P) and (M)’s room. (M) went in to wake
him up so they could go over to (D)’s. (N) half woke up and
looked at (M) and asked, “Where’s my friend?” (M) asked him
who his friend was. (N) said he didn’t know. (M) asked
where his friend was and (N) pointed towards the doorway
the closed his eyes again. (M) woke him up again and asked
him if his friend was a little boy but (N) said no. (M)
asked if the friend was big like mommy and (N) said no. (M)
asked if he was big like daddy and (N) said no that he was
bigger. (N) fell asleep again so (M) woke him up again and
asked what he was doing with his friend. (N) said that they
were playing Candyland in his room. After (M) got (N)
dressed and in the car, they stopped at the gas station to
get (N) some juice. When they were back on the road, (N)
told (M) that he had a dream. (M) asked what the dream was
about and (N) said he couldn’t tell him. (M) asked why and
(N) said that it was a secret. (M) asked why it was a
secret and (N) said that the man in the dream said it was a
secret.

(P) was alone in the house. She was taking a shower and had
the dimmer switch for the lights turned all the way up.
While she was in the shower, the lights dimmed almost all
the way down then went back up to full brightness. She
opened the shower curtain to see if anyone was there and
the door to the bathroom was still closed.
02-23-03
(P) was at work. She went into the lounge on the 5th floor
at the hospital. The cleaning lady was in there having a
cup of coffee. (P) poured her coffee, put in the cream and
started looking for Sweet & Low. There was a Styrofoam cup
on the table full of sugar packets. (P) looked in the
cabinet under the table but couldn't find any. She went
back to the cup of sugar packets. The cleaning lady asked
her what she was looking for. (P) told her she was looking
for Sweet & Low. The cleaning lady said she just filled the
cup with sugar packets and that there wasn't any Sweet &
Low in there. (P) continued looking through the cup and
when she got to the bottom she pulled out a packet of Sweet
& Low. The cleaning lady’s mouth dropped open and she
said, “I swear to God that I just got that cup and filled
it with sugar from the box in the other room and there was
NO Sweet & Low in there. (P) never met this lady before.
The cleaning lady had tears in her eyes. (P) told her about
a few of the things that have happened. (P) went to the
phone in the hallway to call (M). While she was telling (M)
what happened, half of the hallway lights went off. She
didn't think anything about it and finished tell (M) what
happened. Later that day, she went back to the 5th floor
and the cleaning lady was standing in the hall with tears
in her eyes again. She wanted to know how all of this
started. (P) told her about the day (S) died and how the
lights went off while (M) was in the bathroom. The cleaning
lady said that after they left each other that morning,
half the lights in the hallway went off. Two nurses and
herself went to the light switches and the middle one was
shut off. They couldn't figure out why. There was no one
near the switch. (P) told he that she saw the lights go off
at the same time while she was telling (M) what happened
with the Sweet & low.
At (S)’s funeral, the building manager of a professional
building in town told (R) that there was a bunch of burnt
out light bulbs at the professional building and asked if
he would have time to change them. (R) went to the
professional building the 23rd and was changing the light
bulbs, when he got paged by (P). She wanted to tell him the
story about the Sweet & Low. While she was telling him the
story he realized that now all of a sudden he was spending
a lot of time with lights too. He had just changed out all
of the bad bulbs about 6 months before and now there were
over 20 more burnt out. He had just finished changing the
bulbs in three of the suites when (P) paged so while he was
talking to her, he walked through the suite and turned on
all of the lights so he could see which ones were burnt
out. He went back to the reception area where he left the
bulbs and changed the bad ones there and in the little
kitchen area while he was on the phone with (P). When he
walked into the hallway leading to the examination rooms he
noticed that all of the switches for the lights in the
hallway were off and all of the switches in the examination
rooms and bathrooms were off. He turned them back on and
changed the rest of the lights. When he was all done, he
had used 2 full boxes of light bulbs and 3 bulbs from the
3rd box for a total of 23 bulbs. He filled the empty boxes
with 20 of the bulbs and had 5 more loose ones, 2 more than
he had changed. He went back through all of the suites to
see if he had forgotten to put bulbs back in one of the
lights and all of the lights worked. There were no missing
bulbs.

(D2) walked past the spare bedroom in her house. The pillow
and comforter were bunched up like someone had slept there.
She asked her husband and kids if they had slept there that
night and they all said no.
(D2) was doing laundry. The dryer vents into their attached
garage so they have to open the garage door when they do
the laundry so all of the humid air has somewhere to go.
She realized that she didn't open the garage door and was
walking through the house to do it when she heard the dryer
stop. When she got to the dryer the door was wide open. She
opened the door leading to the garage and couldn't believe
how much condensation was on everything.
