Angels in Disguise

Throughout the ages people have reported strange encounters with strangers that were so strange and unsettling that they become convinced that they have been in the company of an angel.
Although there have been some reports of people seeing the traditional version of an angel, with the white robe, wings etc, far more often these angelic beings tend to appear in times of need in the form of a stranger who shows up out of nowhere to help you, disappearing just as fast.
Angels tend to appear during times of stress, danger, as well as during a near death experience. Approximately 50% of children who have a near death experience mention an angel encounter during their experience. This percentage is far lower with adults, though it does happen.
Angels have appeared as normal looking people, with long white robes and wings, as they are depicted in Christian art. Some people believe that their loved ones can become their guardian angels after they have passed on.
No matter what your personal belief about angels is, it’s difficult to completely dismiss the millions of stories people from all over the world tell about their encounters with angels.

"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." - Hebrews 13:2 of the Bible

Young Girl Sees Deceased Grandmother

My grandmother passed away when I was 11 years old. I was very close to my grandmother and she always told me that she wanted to me to be a good girl, and stay away from drinking and smoking etc.
A few years after my grandmother passed away I had started hanging out with a bad bunch of kids that were into partying. On this particular evening my parents were gone and I was home with my older sister; I was about 15 and she was 17. Well my sister decided to take a walk down the street with some of her friends and she told me she would be right back.
It was just about dusk, I stayed behind and turned on the stereo in the living room so that I could listen to music while my sister and her friends were gone. Only a few minutes after she’d left I saw my grandmother float from the hall into the living room. I stood there, dumbfounded, and yes I was scared to death. She didn’t walk; she just floated, stopping not far from where I stood by the stereo. She simply looked at me at shook her head in disapproval; after that she vanished.
I was so terrified that I ran out of the house and into the front yard. I was screaming and crying; I could see my sister and her friends down the street. As soon as my sister noticed me, she came running back; she was a little over half a block away. When she returned I was too traumatized to tell her what had happened, but after a while I did.
She did not really believe me, but thought maybe someone had gotten into the house, so her and her friends went to check out the house. They found nobody, as I knew they wouldn’t.
