Jacqueline from Oklahoma says that while her memories have faded over the years, she recalls having an imaginary friend when she was young.
Her grandparents, “Granny Junie” and “Pa Hank,” lived in a small home with a quiet backyard. Jacqueline recalls visiting them as a child.
"I have very good memories of my Pa Hank," Jacqueline recalls.
"He would sit under the tree with me and tell me stories." The stories were often about his life and memories of prohibition, she says. “He was actually a very interesting character.”
The only problem? Her grandfather died in 1981 — and Jacqueline was born in 1982.
“I don't think I ever realized that I was getting stories from a ghost," she says, adding that the rest of her family knew of his presence in the house. "My Granny Junie would never stay in the house on the anniversary of his death,” she says. "He did die in the house."
Jacqueline also recalls hearing Pa Hank get up in the middle of the night when she was staying at the house. “It never occurred to me that these were memories of an entity,” she said.
In hindsight, Jacqueline says that even though her childhood “imaginary friend” was actually her dead grandfather, it casts a different light because it was a relative and not a stranger.
“It never felt like ghosts, it felt like talking to my Pa Hank.”
