I don’t know how to start this, and I need to get this off me. I don’t understand why this is happening, and I want to write so when I finish, I KNOW I’m not crazy. Stuff like this doesn’t happen. I mean, it does but not to me. It has, and I don’t know what to make of it.
Do you like paranormal stories? If not, stop reading. If you do, put on your seatbelt, and I will take you for a ride.
I made a post recently about losing my college sweetheart, Lukus. I always called him Luke for short. He passed on May 20, 2022. You can read it here. Well, a few days later, on May 23, my security camera goes off, and it captures this.
At first, I didn’t think much about it until other stuff started happening. When I went back and reviewed the footage, the dogs were listening to who? Why did they behave like that? Then I noticed the camera; the dogs weren’t captured on camera, but a person.

After having a hard time with the passing of Luke, I decided to plan a camping and staycation at home. You can read that post here.
Let us say things went a little chaotic. You can read that post here.
Well, something or someone showed up on June 14, 2022.

I know this will sound crazy, but I KNOW this is Luke. It’s like arguing with someone, months go by, and you don’t hear from them. One day an unknown number calls you. You answer, and the person on the other end doesn’t speak. But you can FEEL THEM. You know it is them. I feel the same way about this.
I started going over some of the things I started noticing, and I started putting two and two together, and I knew IT WAS HIM!
- He loves dogs, first video.
- My camping trip
- Seeing cardinals, butterflies, rainbows, and dragonflies (signs from passed loved ones)
- Old songs would play, cutting off the playlist I was listening to
He decided to pay me another visit on June 22, 2022.

He showed up again on June 28, 2022.
This particular night I did something unexpected even for me. I talked to him through my security speaker. I did!! I was emotional, and I cried a lot. I KNEW it was him because of the feeling I get when he comes around. I could feel his energy, as if he was sad, too. He heard me on the speaker crying and just talking. I watched his movements on the phone, and at one point, I went to the window and looked out. The orb floated to my window. I couldn’t see him, but I could feel him.
I thought I was going crazy because this isn’t like the movies. It’s not scary or frightening; it is gentle. It is soothing and comforting. After our talk, I saw more cardinals and butterflies. I told him if I was keeping him from resting in peace, I wanted him to go. I told him he didn’t have to stay here anymore.
At times I would get angry. I promise you it would feel like he is beside me, and then the feeling would leave. When I would feel him or sense his presence, I would shut him out. I thought I was losing my mind and the things I felt weren’t real. I kept comparing his passing with my mom’s passing. It wasn’t nearly the same. Why do I feel him? Why do I feel this energy? Why does my CPI keep going off? For almost a month, I battled with myself and my feelings. I assumed he was saying goodbye.
I even argued with him. I know I must sound crazy, but I did. I could hear him saying his part, and I went in with my words. Smh, I can’t explain it to make you understand, but it happened. Usually, around 4-5 am, I will feel him hug me at night. I got so heated I cut off all the hugs. Am I making sense? I even told Natlie what had been going on, and she chuckled.
Well, I assumed things were over, he was going his way, and I was going mine. I won’t lie, I missed him, as usual, but I know he is in a better place. Guess who showed up this week on July 19, 2022. He stayed from 2:00 am until I couldn’t see him on camera anymore.
So let me tell you about July 19, 2022. I slept for a while and only woke up around 4 am to take my medicine. Usually, I wake at about 2 am, but I was just tired. My notification goes off, and I KNOW it’s Luke. I went straight to my live feed, and he was moving in a frenzy. I hit the speaker and spoke to him. The orb shape stopped moving and came closer to the camera. I asked him what he was doing. Then I upped the ante. I told him I was coming to see him.
I was a little apprehensive at first, but I woke Natlie up to come with me. She got up but needed a bathroom break first. So I mustered up my nerves and went downstairs. I had the live camera on to see what was outside, and the orb/him was out there waiting. I cut the alarm off and opened the door.
HELL YEAH, I WAS SCARED!!!
I didn’t know what to expect, but the feeling I had was excitement. I felt like I was opening the door on Christmas morning to an old friend. I opened the door, and no one was there, but I could see the shiny orb on my phone. It moved closer to the door. I was smiling and showed him what I saw on my phone. I could see from the reflection on the glass door he moved in to look closer at my phone. I know it sounds unreal, but I promise you everything I’m telling you is 100 percent true.
I told him to excuse my hair, bonnet, and shirt; I was sleeping. Then I heard a jiggling but couldn’t see it. It was the door handle on the phone. He was jiggling the door handle. It freaked me out, and I told him to stop, please. Soon as I said it, he stopped, but I heard him say, “Why?” I told him because I was afraid. I told him I couldn’t see him and needed to be comfortable. I feel I hurt his feelings, yall. The orb stepped back but didn’t leave.
After a few minutes of us standing on opposite sides of the door, I looked into the darkness, and his orb was standing there on camera. He never made me scared, no banging on the door, just quietness. I told him I had to go. I didn’t know what to say. I just felt him instead. I felt a lot of emotions on both parts. Soon as I closed the door, I looked in the phone and saw the orb moving back and forth. I opened the door back up and just smiled. The orb got really bright on the phone. I felt at peace.
I kept checking the live feed to see him, and after a while, I would hit the speaker to let him know I was still awake. At one point, I told him I was sleepy, and he needed sleep, too. Instead, he stayed on the porch. I periodically would say something, and he would move around to let me know he was still outside. I watched that live feed until the sun covered his orb, and I couldn’t see him anymore.
I’m in a place I KNOW what I’m experiencing is real. It is just hard to process. I don’t know what else to say. I’m going to go, as always. Big Hugs and Warm Smiles!
