It was about midnight. I came up stairs to make a snack before I went to bed.  My dog was with me begging for food.  All his attention was on that food.  As I made my sandwich, I glimpsed up for a split second and half way down the stairs appeared a white glowing figure.  It was just straight up and down, no arms, no legs, and no face.  It was just a full size human figure.  It walked up the stairs as the same speed as a  human. I froze and went into complete shock. I had the chills all the way through my body. My dog Harley had no way of seeing the figure because the counter was completely in his way.  All of a sudden, my dog's ears perked right up.  He acted like this snack I was making didn't exist.  The room that this figure went into was the guest front room which was all of my grandmother that passed in 2004 from a stroke.  Everything in the room was a gift from her; a picture of her, a piano from her and a picture of Christ on the wall etc. My dog walked in there as if he knew the figure was there and has seen it more than this. Tim I still sat in the kitchen in shock with the most amazing and warm feeling inside.  Once I snapped out of this feeling, I ran downstairs.  I was thinking to myself, did this really happen? Well it has to be real since my dog even felt this presence..
