When I was a little girl, an angel visited me as I woke in my bedroom. I lived with my mom, dad, and big sister. I think I said a prayer to see an angel. This angel stood by my bedroom window and smiled at me. He was white with blond hair and wore a white robe. He was bright, like the light from a candle illuminating a dark room. I’d never seen an angel before and was shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes. I turned the lights on in my bedroom and turned them back off and when I did, he was gone.
I saw an an angel again near my bedroom door as a little girl later on. The lights were off in the house, and my mom walked past it and didn’t realize and said ‘Ashley, it’s time for school…’ and when she turned the hallway light on, it was gone.
At 37, November 7,2021, I woke at my big sister’s house to go to the bathroom. There was a bright light that illuminated under her office door in her house, like a light being left on in a room in a dark house. The light illuminated under the door like how a candle illuminates a dark room with its light. The house was pitch black dark, and many family members were still sleeping. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I didn’t open the door to her office but turned on the light to the bathroom.
When I turned on the light to the bathroom nearby, it was dark underneath her office door, and the lights were off like most of the lights in the house. After I finished using the bathroom, I turned on the light to the kitchen but underneath her office door, it remained dark with the light off as if nobody had been in there.
These stories are based on true events that have actually happened to me.
