my grandfather was a tough, hard-working type
and it was the death of him. He died of pneumonia, that he caught shovelling snow from his driveway in the middle of winter his 80s.

Now, this isn't a once-off 'I thought I saw him out of the corner of my eye and when I looked OMG HE'D VANISHED'.

EVERY winter I'll see my grandfather, at various places around his home town. And not vaguely out of the corner of my eye; solidly, right there in front of me. And it only happens in the coldest part of winter.

Mind you, he did look exactly like a snowman.
