As is probably apparent from my posts here, I'm a skeptic, but here's an odd little personal story from just a few months ago:
My dad passed away last year, and (possibly relevant to the story) never really knew he had a grandson (my nephew), who was born three weeks before he died. Early this summer my brother's family stayed at my parents' house for a few weeks while they were in between homes, and we were all visiting there over Father's Day weekend.
My infant nephew was sick and was having an awful night, screaming on and off for most of the night. Around 2 AM or so he was crying again, and from their bedroom my brother and his wife both heard the sound of the reclining chair in the living room pulling up (or down). My mom is up often during the night but it was still weird because she should have been sleeping downstairs. So my sister-in-law was worried that someone was in the house and made my brother go investigate. He checks the hall and living room and.. nothing. Lights out, completely quiet.
For what it's worth, my dad basically lived in the reclining chair.
