My mother and grandmother have told me about this situation/event many
times.

When I was around six-months-old, my godfather was in a gruesome
accident, where he was crushed by some heavy equipment alone on the job
(construction worker). His back was broken, and he laid there for a few
hours before his father found him, dying.

The night before his accident, he drove two hours from his hometown in
the middle of the night, just to come visit my parents and I, and
started saying his "good-bye" to all of us, as if he knew something bad
would happen to him. Obviously, my mother thought this was creepy and
eery, so she was worried.

When my family got news of the accident, it took a toll on them. My
godfather grew up with my mother since they were kids, and it was
extremely painful to see someone so young and important go.

Anyway, my mother took me to my godfather's funeral, and I touched my
godfather's corpse (it was an open-casket funeral). In the weeks that
followed, I became depressed, stopped eating and sleeping, and I'd
mumble (as I was too young to talk) and laugh in the middle of the
night, as I had whenever my godfather would play with me.

My grandmother believed in spirits, so she inspected the house and
decided to cleanse me of my godfather's spirit, whom had latched onto
me, according to her. She did some sPoOkY things to my room and my bed,
and left for the night.

That same night, my parents were asleep, and the door slammed open,
books started to fall off the shelves, and my godfather was standing
next to their door, *sans* feet (i.e. a ghostly figure). My mother
yelled at him, begging to let me go and leave me alone, as I was only a
baby and my health was deteriorating, so he nodded and vanished.
