Eyewitness: Weird stories from the life of my grandfather

"My grandfather was born in 1924 in Massachusetts in a large family and had many siblings, but most of them died in childhood in tragic circumstances. One died in a car accident, another drowned, and the third somehow contracted a rare and dangerous disease, and so on. Says the Reddit user with the nickname "mangosarebomb". His grandfather died in 2017, and before that went through world war II and with it has repeatedly happened strange things. When there was a war, grandfather enlisted in the Navy and since was far away from his family and could not often get to see them. Once he was at sea hundreds of miles from shore and any other vessel. He stood on the deck and enjoy the sunrise in the ocean, and suddenly he heard and correctly identified a very loud bell ringing. people in hoods, mystery, characters, grandfather, the ringing was repeated twice and it was clear that this is not the ship's bell. My grandfather was smart and had logical thinking, he understood that the bell sound comes from very strange places and it sounded like a beat in a very large Church bell. This case troubled him, he couldn't stop thinking about it and couldn't sleep that night. And when through Niccolo days his ship arrived in port, there it was waiting for a telegram from home, where it was written that his sister died. It happened a few days ago on the same day, when he heard the bell ringing. Fast forward to the postwar period. My grandfather met my grandmother and they got married. Then grandfather got a job as an engineer and often went on calls. And his company was very secretive for some of the information and required to maintain complete secrecy to "spies" have learned nothing. One day grandfather called with a colleague on a business trip to a construction site and he didn't even know where they were going. My grandmother thought he was joking but it was true. They sat in a darkened van and drove somewhere that was far away, judging by the duration of the trip. And when brought in, lodged in one room. During the trip, grandfather and a colleague were chatting about various things and colleague told me that he is a "practicing Muslim" who has "guards" who protect him. Grandfather was also a religious man and reacted to this with understanding, but no more. However, when they went to bed, it happened something unusual. The grandfather woke up in the middle of the night and saw around my bed the crowd of tall men in black hoods. Persons were not seen and they just stood there and looked at my grandfather. And it wasn't sleep paralysis, as my grandfather could move. He spotted a gap among people and they rushed out of bed over to the light switch to turn on the light. But as soon as he did, all the people in the hoods instantly disappeared. Grandfather was very scared and excited, but in some sense he felt that these people were the very "guards", which said his colleague is a Muslim. They were probably designed them to protect him from the evil in this strange and unfamiliar place. And another story from my grandfather. One day he was at my house in which I grew up, and suddenly felt a strong gust of wind that literally went through him. However, no drafts the house was not. But he soon received a call that his brother died".
