This is real ghost stories online.

A ghost story of hope involving animals, birds specifically.

Birds can be very symbolic to many of us, Cardinals specifically.

We've talked about that on many episodes of the show in recent times. This next story is a story of

someone watching over, watching over small children when maybe parents are busy doing their things,

but just trying to help out. Is the same bird that shows up all the time to watch over the

children simply a bird? Or could it be the spirit of a loved one, still watching over their

family, just in a different form. Take a listen.

Hi, Bruce.

This is Ashley from Nashville, Tennessee.

And I was just listening to your episode on January 18th, I believe today is 2021.

And there was a story about Charles, I believe, the bird, who unfortunately passed away.

And that reminded me of my own little story that I have that took

place over this past weekend, actually. So to start this off about a couple months ago,

my daughters and my husband and I were playing, um, kind of seek on our property. We have an acre

of land.

Our house takes up a little bit of it, and then the rest of it is to play and all that

sort of fun stuff.

And so we were playing hide and go seek, and my daughter, my oldest, she's eight, decided

to hide at the back of the house.

And we really don't go towards the back of the house.

It's where the church meets our land.
