Edith Hendrickson couldn’t believe her ears when she heard the voice of her 5-year-old grandson Jeremy, who had died in a terrible car accident. She initially assumed she was hallucinating because of her advanced age, but the reality was quite different from what she’d thought.

However, as she closed her eyes and dozed off for a minute, she heard the voice again, “Grandma. Why are you not letting me in? It’s me, Jeremy! Have you forgotten about me?” This time, Edith got out of bed and looked around the room. She also went to the window, but there was no...
