A woman who does not believe in ghosts or the afterlife has told how she thinks her late dad who died nine years ago may have cuddled her for comfort in bed.
She was left completely mystified by the spooky event on Monday morning, which has left her “questioning everything” she believes.
The woman, who insists she is an atheist and works in a scientific field, said her father died suddenly in her childhood home in 2009, where she is currently living again temporarily.
Sharing the experience on online forum Mumsnet, she said she felt “arms wrap around her” while drowsing but “definitely awake”.
She assumed her partner, who was downstairs getting ready for work, had returned to give her a hug, but then heard him close the front door.
“My mum has mentioned a few times over the years that she’s felt my dad’s presence here and I’ve always been openly kind to her about it,” she wrote.
