She found the grandma was still standing close by the bed. Kate jumped out of the bed. Grandma was there so close to her. No sound was coming out of her mouth and could not move hands and legs. Seconds passed and grandma turned into thin air. Kate narrated the tncidents to many people. Some took those as they were. Some said this and that. K V Geo
