Great Aunt Mary Jane

First story on here so here goes!

This took place when I was around 9 or 10 years old. My mother and I were over at her first cousin's house because there was a bad hurricane in our region and it had gotten pretty rough out. My mother's first cousin has a daughter who was a few years younger than I am which made her my second cousin. Well a few months earlier her grandmother had passed away which in relation to me was my great Aunt Mary Jane. (I hope this doesn't sound confusing...) Either way, after the effects of the storm wore away it was late at night and everyone started to go to bed. My cousin and I went into one of the back rooms to sleep where we had to share a bed.

As we were lying in the bed trying to go to sleep I kept sensing there was something above me. I had my eyes close and thinking it was my mom or someone coming in to check on us. I opened them and saw an arm floating above my face. I didn't see the rest of the arm just from the elbow to the hand. I knew instantly whose arm it was. It was my great Aunt Mary Jane. I knew this because I always remembered she wore this certain watch on her wrist. Her hand and arm were reaching over the top of me towards my cousin. My cousin who was Great Aunt Mary Jane's granddaughter was well known by the family as her favorite. Well the instant that I saw this I jumped out of bed and ran to the front of the house. My cousin was in tow behind me. I don't know whether she really did ever see what I saw or she just got freaked out by me when I jumped out of bed.

Some people that I have told said that I was just probably dreaming but I know that I was not.
