Context:

The subject is a white gender non-conforming individual from Brooklyn, New York. Before this, the subject and I discussed ghost stories for sometime and I asked them if they had ever had a ghostly experience. It was very hard for me to collect much that we think of traditional folklore, ghost stories or myths, but this piece stands in such stark contrast to that.

Piece:

“Oh, my mom. Alright, my mom used to say that one night she say like a giant light floating above my bed after my grandmother died. She thought it was my grandmother in orb form. Uuum, personal experience I don’t think I’ve ever had any, but my mom used to say that all the time. Cause it was right after my grandma died.”
