The family received the heartbreaking news: her grandfather had passed away during the night. The father was shaken, but he convinced himself it had to be a coincidence \u2014 a strange, unsettling coincidence, but a coincidence nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"1049\">Months passed. Life steadied. Then one night, as he tucked her in again, she prayed:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1103\">\u201cGod bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, goodbye Grandma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1124\">His blood ran cold.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1205\">The following day, his wife collapsed in tears \u2014 her mother had died overnight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1339\">This time, the father couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something unnerving was happening.

When the sun finally rose, he panicked. Instead of going home, he drove straight to the office and stayed there \u2014 all day, all night, glued to his chair, waiting for fate to strike.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1847\">Midnight finally came.<br data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"1830\" \/>Nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1961\">Shaking with relief, he drove home.
