Is this possible?

I've only experienced what seems to be astral projection once.  It was completely spontaneous and am wondering if this was indeed astral projection.

I was 6 years old at the time and my parents moved us to a new state about 500 miles away from my grandmother who, up until that time, had taken care of me while my parents were getting their degrees and working.
Seeing how she had the strongest impact in my life thus far, I couldn't help but miss here terribly.  She was kind of like Auntie Mame, showed me museums and taught me about culture and art and literature and even was my dance teacher (tap to be exact).
My new home was great but i miss granny goodwitch, as i called her.  
About a month after our move, I was about as heartbroken as a kid can be. I was sitting outside wishing i could be with my grandmother and after a few minutes it seemed like i was looking at everything through the wrong end of binoculars, everything smaller and getting further away.  The next thing i knew i was standing on the landing outside my grandmother's bedroom door. I knew not to enter without knocking, so i knocked a couple of times without an answer so i called out "Granny Goodwitch" and told her to come out so we could dance.  I then knocked and called out again and started to tap dance up and down the hallway.  I looked and saw the doorknob turning and reached for it, but just as suddenly as I'd appeared here I was back in my yard 500 miles away.

That evening my granny goodwitch called and told my mother that she had been sitting in her room doing some needlepoint and she'd heard what sounded like tap-dancing outside her bedroom door.  She wasn't sure what to make of it until she heard me calling her name.  She went to open the door, thinking we'd surprised her with a visit, but as soon as she opened the door the tapping stopped and nobody was there.

This actually happened, not sure what to classify it as though.....mind experience? out of body? astral projection?

My granny goodwitch still tells this story to everyone quite often.

That was a great story, no matter how you classify it!  Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, I'm always happy to share experiences with others since you never know when someone will offer insight that's not exactly obvious

Sounds like Bi-location.Kind of like a very,very strong OBE, except that your presence can be directly percieved by those in the physical.It's pretty rare.

Bi-location? That's a term I've never heard before but definitely going to look into it.  Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that, I like reading experiences of this calibre.

You're welcome.  It would've been cool had this kind of experience happened again, but it never has.  Guess I was a weirder kid than anyone even realized  hehe.
