This moving true ghost story comes from an experienced caregiver in the Netherlands — a first-hand, deeply human account of witnessing what felt like a gentle escort into the afterlife. Fans of haunted house tales and paranormal testimony may expect terror and spectacle, but this episode delivers something else: a quiet, luminous visitation that reads like grace itself.

While working in elderly care during the corona period, the narrator tended to a woman in advanced dementia who spent her days folded in a special wheelchair. One evening, while clearing the dining area, the caregiver glimpsed a bright white light embracing the woman from behind — not cold or frightening, but warm, like a hug. When she looked back the light had vanished. Later that night, after careful bedside tending — lotion, a brushed hair, and soft words — she left the woman sleeping. The next morning, colleagues confirmed the resident had passed. The caregiver believes she witnessed the moment the woman was taken.

This episode explores the softer side of hauntings and afterlife encounters: how a “real haunting” can feel like consolation rather than terror, how presence and peace can arrive where fear once lived, and why caregivers who stand vigil sometimes become the closest eyewitnesses to the final crossing. It also touches on patterns the narrator has observed in eldercare — clustered passings, symbolic timing, and those uncanny overlaps of life and death.
