7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your story to newsletter@tias.com.

Here's a "haunted" story from Sheila A:

I was arranging to pick up an item I had purchased on ebay from a local seller.

When I spoke to her by phone, she indicated she was sorry for the delay in responding to me, but she had just lost her mother. Having lost mine also, I understood the anguish that comes after the death of one so dear. When she composed herself a bit, I asked her to share her favorite "Mom Story". We each

related a story about a special moment we had shared with our mothers, and the conversation ended with both of us in good spirits, looking forward to exchange

of the purchased item over coffee the following Saturday.

After hanging up the phone, I walked through my living room. A Herman Miller mantle clock I had given my mother years ago sits on a shelf there - it requires batteries which I had neglected to replace, so it hadn't been working for some time. As I looked up at the clock, it started to chime ! I guess Mom

was voicing her approval of our conversation! ! !

If you have a "haunted" collection, drop us a note at newsletter@tias.com.
