Haunted Pictou

I would like to share the first experience I have had with a spirit, The thing about this experience that you need to know is it was told to me by my mother and I only remember bits of it but I'll get to that in a moment so here goes....
When I was about 2yrs old my grandfather was in the hospital and was very sick and they had called the family in to visit with him because they felt it was going to be the last time they would be able to, so as my mother told me that day I wasnt my usual happy self I in fact was very clingy and whiny at one point in time during the day one of my cousins came to our house to see if my mother would like them to look after me so she could go and see her father at the hospital, but my mother refused because of the way I was acting, later that evening my mother took me outside on our porch to see if she could settle me down to go to bed, when all of the sudden I stopped crying and told my mother to look at the bright light, which at the moment a bright blue ball of light shot into the sky from my grandparents house which was next doors to ours and disappeared into the sky. I at that moment looked at my mother and said its all better now and stopped fussing. My mother thought it was a car lights reflecting but one never past and a couple minutes pasted and the phone rang and my mother was told her father had past at the same time as we saw the light. My mother decided to tell the minister of what went on that day with me and the light and he told her that I could have been so close to my grandfather that I was feeling his pain the whole time and the light was the spirit being set free and the pain at that time would have stopped. The weird thing is this was about 20 yrs ago but still to this day when people talk about my grandfather I feel pain and cant help crying even though they are not saying anything that should cause me to
