Her grandmother passed in 2011. A year later, Candace and her husband bought their first home. For a while, it was quiet—until he moved in. Then came the disturbances: footsteps in empty rooms, objects vanishing and reappearing, tools gone missing only to resurface later.
The strangest moment was the washing machine incident. For her twenty-first birthday, her husband had secretly hidden a bottle of wine high on a basement shelf. Candace didn’t even know it existed. Yet one day, she opened the washer—and found the bottle inside, intact and waiting. Neither of them had touched it.
Other moments followed. Around a backyard bonfire, the garage motion-sensor light flickered wildly until Candace snapped, “Grandma, knock it off!” Instantly, the light shut off—and never worked again. Even her skeptical mother was shaken after hearing heavy footsteps upstairs while Candace’s son slept peacefully on the couch below.
Candace believes the spirit may be her grandmother: protective, playful, never malicious. But as the hosts note, sometimes we assign familiar names to the unknown to ease our fears. Is it really Grandma watching over them—or something else entirely, hiding behind a comforting mask?
This story is a reminder that in the paranormal, the line between love and intrusion is razor thin. What we call protection may be something stranger. What we call Grandma… may not be Grandma at all.
