Summary

When Kim brought home her late grandfather’s favorite sweater, she thought it would be just a keepsake of a man she loved dearly. What followed were moments that defied logic: unseen footsteps on carpet, a sudden warmth settling at the edge of her bed, and the unmistakable smell of her grandfather’s old cigarette brand drifting through a house where no one smoked.

Even stranger were the dreams — vivid encounters where her grandfather appeared just out of reach, speaking in cryptic fragments that seemed to carry messages for the family he’d left behind.

Was it grief stirring her imagination, or something far more extraordinary — a lingering presence determined to watch over her?
Kim’s story weaves together subtle hauntings, signs from beyond, and a bond between grandparent and grandchild that refused to fade with death.

Step into this hauntingly intimate true ghost story and decide for yourself: when a loved one passes, can their warmth still linger in the room long after they’re gone?
