At the English-language forum for moms Mumsnet, a resident of Great Britain under the nickname "InSwamTiddler" shared a mystical story that happened to her.
Moreover, the woman emphasizes that she does not believe in God, as well as in the afterlife and is an atheist, although in childhood she was brought up in the Catholic tradition.
9 years ago, this woman's father died and she missed him very much. And one morning someone came to her and hugged her, which she felt very well. And now InSwamTiddler is sure that her father came to see her.
“I don’t believe in God, nor in the afterlife, nor in ghosts, nor in any other paranormal thing,” the Briton begins her story, “I work in the scientific field and believe only in what can be experimentally proven …
My father died 9 years ago, not being old at all, and I was then still at a young age. After that, my mother repeatedly told me that she felt the close presence of her father, and each time I patiently and condescendingly told her that it was just a game of her imagination.
However, my mother was sure that he came to her. She even mentioned once that she felt him crouch on the edge of her bed. She felt this pressure very well, but I also attributed this to her imagination.
And just recently, early in the morning, when my husband was getting ready for work, I was still in bed. I did not sleep, but lay with my eyes closed in such a half-asleep state, perfectly hearing how my husband brushes his teeth in the bathroom, washes his face, and then dresses.
And suddenly I felt like someone entered my room and I decided that my husband had suddenly returned to the bedroom. What is he doing? - flashed through my head. My husband never usually came to me in the morning when he was going to work, did not hug me, did not kiss me "goodbye".

I was lying on my side and suddenly felt very well how someone lay down on the bed behind me and gently hugged me by the shoulders. In the area of the shoulder blades, I immediately felt a strong warmth, as if a real person was pressing against me.
I did not feel any fear, but even then I knew that this was not my husband. And then I heard the front door open on the first floor and then slammed. It was my husband who went to work.
At the same time, I still felt the presence of a person next to me and an unusual tingling sensation suddenly went all over my back. It was not unpleasant and I generally felt very good, I was pleasant and warm from these hugs.
And then I felt that this was my father. I felt it, as stupid as it sounds.
I did not sleep, 100% it was not a dream. Realizing that something unusual was happening, I finally jumped up and turned on the lamp. There was no one in the room."
In the comments to this story, the most common assumption was that the woman had sleep paralysis. Although she did not mention the inability to move.
However, there were also those who experienced similar things. One woman wrote that after such an experience she was very scared and soon went to the priest. In response, the priest told her that if this experience gave her a state of warmth and comfort, then there is nothing wrong with that.
He also added that there are many things in the world that people do not yet understand and that such things should be taken as a gift.
Another woman described seeing her cat that had died in the accident in a similar way.
