Hello and welcome to many episode 116 of Real Life Goal Stories, and I have

seven spooky stories for you today and the last story comes from April 11th 2021 and story

number one comes from Scarlett. When my mom was eight years old her mom, my nan, used to work

part-time as a sewing machinist. On the day she had to work she used to leave my mom and her brother

with one of the neighbors called Mrs. Rice. Mrs. Rice was an elderly lady who looked after them for

years. My mom loved her and they always had so much fun when she used to babysit both of them.

My uncle was only three at the time so he can't re-remember much. My nan and granddad decided to

move from the street that they live on to the next village across into a bigger house, which meant

leaving all the old neighbors and Mrs. Rice behind. My mom was upset by this but knew that they'd

be able to keep in touch and visit as their new house really wasn't far away at all. A few weeks

after moving into the new house my mom woke up in the middle of the night and saw Mrs. Rice at the

end of her bed smiling at her. She said she didn't feel scared because she knew she was but at the

same time it made her jump. Being only eight years old she couldn't understand why Mrs. Rice was

there. She ran into my nan and granddad's room distressed and explained what happened. My nan

calmed her down and told her she was just dreaming and took her back to bed. Obviously Mrs. Rice was

nowhere to be seen. Three days later they went back to their old house to collect the rest of their

belongings. My nan got chatty with their old neighbors and asked how Mrs. Rice was. The neighbor

looked at my nan and said Mrs. Rice died three days ago. To this day mom was always believed on the

night that she saw her Mrs. Rice came to say goodbye. The story has always given me chills but I

think it's quite comforting because of how close they were and she didn't want to leave this world

without saying goodbye. I love the stories of loved ones coming back to say goodbye and you can

never underestimate the impact that you have on somebody's life while for the kids like Mrs. Rice
