My story is from about 5 years ago, we were at the funeral home arranging for my grandmother's services, sitting in one of the rooms were my family my mother's 6 siblings and myself, when the undertaker ask us about her clothing that she would be burried in he said that we should bring her undergarments also. My aunt spoke up and said "What undergarments Mom hasn't worn a bra in years." This broke the mood for a second and we all had a good giggle, but it didn't last long because in the middle of an April day without anything else in the building on but one light fixture in the room we were in the lights went out for about two seconds and came back on. The next time the family was there for the services, a few of my aunts and myself had gone to the back room before the regular visitation had begun to get a drink, I don't remember what was said but we were laughing at something my grandmother had done in the past. The lights in the room we were in flashed on and off as they had before, no where else in the building did they flash. To this day we have a standing joke that if we start to talk about Mamaw and start laughing we're gonna get in trouble and she'll flash the lights again. It's happened several times at family gatherings and such, never in the entire house and always when a group of us are giggling about something she used to do.

I have more stories but i'll have to post them later.
