The Paranormal

[Andrew, Jr.]

I believe in the paranormal. I wasn't sure of where to put this thread, so if someone wants to move it, please feel free to do so. For me, it is not something that I take as a fun or fluffy topic. It is serious.

I wear at all times several silver medals that are blessed, St. Francis of Assisi, Mary, St. Michael, and St. Benedict. I also carry blessed Holy Water with me. If you know of any psychics, mediums, or others who are of the Catholic faith, you will find that they also pretty much do the same exact thing. One of the folks that I truely admire is Chip Coffey. He is seen on Psychic Kids, The Paranormal State, and so on. I go to Church quite a bit, and I do pray to God, and to all of His angels to shield me, guide me, and protect me. I believe it is the right thing for me to do, esp. when I am ghost hunting, or involved in a paranormal event.

I want to talk about everything from Demonology, Possession, Hauntings, Ghosts, UFO's, Cattle Mutalations, Aliens, Werewolves, Vampires, and so on and on.

Once again, I take this to heart. Not to be something funny, or a joke. I have witnessed too much for this to be perceived as such.

Namaste,
Andrew

[Andrew, Jr.]

Does anyone know of this fella? He is a wonderful person. I really admire him. He is a medium, psychic, and clairvoyant. He is Roman Catholic, and does wear silver medals of the Crusifix, and St. Michael, and St. Benedict at all times, and carries Holy Water with him in his pocket.

Love this !!! Be back after work when I can post!

He is Roman Catholic

According to his website, Chip Coffey reports that he was raised in the Catholic faith. The website doesn't indicate that he currently identifies as a Roman Catholic. (As many can attest, being raised Roman Catholic does not make one Roman Catholic.) :eyebrow:


Q: Do you believe in God?

A: “Absolutely! I am a firm believer in God, which is what I choose to call the Supreme Being, but feel free to choose your own name. I was raised in the Catholic faith, which is filled with miracles, mysticism and manifestations. I have incorporated my spiritual beliefs with my Catholic upbringing, which has given me a very personal and private relationship with God. I never attempt to "force" my beliefs on others ... it's simply not my "job" to convince or convert!” (http://www.chipcoffey.com/FAQ.html)

I find the differentiation between him being raised Catholic and identifying as a Roman Catholic interesting, for many reasons, especially because this is what the Catholic Catechism says (in part) about divination and magic:

This information is found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Part Three, Life In Christ, Section Two, The Ten Commandments, Chapter One, Article 3, The Third Commandment, III. "You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me" (http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/ccc_toc.htm)

2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

Outlaw,

I am totally lost on your post.

[Outlaw]

Outlaw,

I am totally lost on your post.

He says he was "raised in the Catholic faith"... he does not say that he is Roman Catholic.

Just because someone is raised in the Catholic faith, does not mean that they are Roman Catholic.

What do you look for, get out of, or have a goal of for ghost hunting?

[Andrew, Jr.]

To help the person move to the afterlife. Sometimes when someone dies, they have no clue that they died, and are roaming here searching for help or to find others or loved ones. That is what a ghost is. There is not really a haunting, but a nest. It is a place where the ghost finds comfort.

I also go to graveyards and cemetaries. I enjoy doing scratchings from headstones.

My Grandmother had a gift. She used it to help people. In turn, I was given this gift. I knew it from a very early age. I know that there are some things that I am attune into, and some I have no business getting involved with. That is when I reach out to others for help and advice. I never give advice or answers unless I am asked for it first. And even then, I have to know more about the person asking the questions, and what the questions are based upon.

If I have an answer to someones question, I give it freely. Never do I ask for money or anything in return, but prayers.

There is a lot more to this life than meets the eye.

You have to have a deep spiritual faith in order to do anything in this field. Anything. If you don't, then you/your soul can be taken over. Do not think for a minute that demons are not walking about freely. They are. And they are ready, willing, and able to pounce on anyone at a moments notice.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I wanted to say that I am here, sitting quietly in the background and watching. I may contribute at some point... but I also take this subject very seriously and do not offer up too much information too willingly. I will say that I have had a great deal of personal experience, that I also am gifted, in several ways, and that I often doubt my own gifts and am repeatedly forced to admit their reality and accuracy.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yes, Jenn. I get it. I am back in the lurk mode myself. Some may not get "it".

Peace,
Andrew

[Jet]

Sometime after my mom died, I was getting off an elevator to go to work. As soon as I hit the sky walk to the other building I smelled her perfume. It's happened a couple of times. Now that the holidays are here I can't get her or my three cousins off my mind. My great grandmother used to say that whenever we dreamed of the dead it was a sign they needed our prayers. Who knows?

[Andrew, Jr.]

Ol' Jet,

It means that they are around you. Anytime you smell perfume, cologne, tobacco, or something related to a dead relative or friend, that is your connection. You can pray for them, but they are checking in on you. They are taking their energy to come back into this plane to reach you. The scent is the means of contact.

You might be right Andrew, I don't know. After experiencing so much trauma in my life my belief system is skewed with things like this. As a traditional Catholic I believe and don't believe certain things, but hey, far be it from me to know what's really going on.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yes, I understand.

[NJFemmie]

On occasion, I will get a whiff of roses... my mother LOVED roses and used to grow American Beauties. This is how I know she's around me.

The funny thing is - Mare recognizes her mother's presence the same way, lol ... and one time, we both caught a whiff of roses at the same time. We just looked at each other - we were trying to figure out which mother was around, lol. (Of course, we acknowledged both).

I have been known to be a prophetic dreamer and occasionally experience waking visions. I was more in tune to this when I was much younger - and after dreaming my mother's, godfather's (and believe it or not) my dog's death - I just shut down. The emotional trauma was just too much to bear - especially after my mother's death - which happened not too long after "that" dream. (and my godfather and dog passed away shortly after my mom died.)

I have always been fascinated with the paranormal. Both Mare and I enjoy visiting cemetaries, especially really old ones. There are quite a few here that date back to the 1700's, and I am pretty sure we visited them all.

My entire life has been surrounded by the paranormal, so I do take the subject rather seriously. I also have to laugh about it at times, but I think that is just my way of coping. I have always considered myself a rational, logical person - but there are things that most certainly defy logic and reason.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I don't laugh or joke at the paranormal. I take it quite seriously.

[Blaze]

Awesome thread Andrew.
I don't consider myself a psychic. But I do see apparitions more than I would like to admit. My Aunt was a spiritual healer, psychic clairvoyant and pretty well reknown in Hawaii.
When I was younger, I always felt things around me. But as hyper as I was, I never really took them serious because there was always another tree to climb, fort to build, and skate board contest to win. As I got into my teens, I was surfing. I caught what seem to be the perfect wave, well I wiped out, board hit my head, and I was pulled under. I don't remember, but they say another surfer pulled me in and a life guard revived me from a flat-liner. So I lived to surf another day, is how I put it. A few years later, I got cancer, and once again,and fought a long hard battle, I was classified as a flat-liner. Then 6 almost 7 years ago, I got into a motorcycle accident, Once again, I don't remember, but friends said, I was clipped on the back wheel from a 18-wheeler, went air borne about 30 feet, ate pavement for about another 20 feet before being embedded by a tree branch that split my helmet and went through my skull.
This time I was clinically considered dead, dead, flat-lined. The part I do remember, is liftng above my body, seeing people I didn't know trying to revive me as I laid there, I felt peace, no pain, just kinda, in limbo of serenity. Then I seen a very bright white and silver light beam, to which I could feel myself being drawn to. As I was being pulled towards this beautiful light, I seen my parents, my grand parents, cousins, friends, all just smiling and waiting. I was once again feeling very happy, excited, relaxed, pain free. Then with a mighty feeling of being yanked and sucked through a hose, I guess I was revived, and the pain, the aweful pain was all I felt, then again, I don't remember.
Weeks later, I was brought out of a coma, then had to relearn to walk, talk, eat, and do all the normal things that we take for granted. Any way. It started then. I started seeing apparitions, first they seemed like a dream. Then they started coming to me, as to ask for help, I guess because I could see them. Then I started seeing apparitions everywhere I went, and everything I did. The spirits, I can handle, it's the dark apparitions that tend to freak me out, I don't know if they are taunting me, trying to scare me, or just being evil as there energies are, as they draw lots of energy to manifest. Oh well. That's what I deal with, be it a gift, or a curse. It's what I deal with 24/7 a day/night. So for those who think that I have a wild imagination, or that I am crazy. Think as you will... The more I talk about it, the easier it becomes for me to accept what I am/do. Laugh if you must. But unless or that is until you walk in my shoes. I think it will be me that perhaps, just perhaps may have the last laugh...

[Andrew, Jr.]

Blaze,

I do believe you. I have seen things pretty much like you. My Grandmother was gifted, and also passed this onto me. I just struggle with expressing myself, and with what I have experienced. I do believe that spirits are with us at all times. I don't believe in "death" per sea, but that it is just a rebirth happening over again repeatedly.

There is evil in this world. As much as I hate to admit it, there is.

I do think that the spirit world is more attracted to those who are injured in some form or fashion. It just is a comfort for me.

When my sister was dying, she was at NIH in Bethesda at one point. Everyone wanted to be there. We never encountered anyone who was there just collecting a paycheck. The nurses were angels. I can't even begin to thank them enough. I know that when I was walking the halls at NIH, I would see aberitions. They were happy. Not one was sick, or suffering. Just smiling ear to ear, and looking so peaceful.

So yes, I do get it.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Well, I tend to follow promptings... and it appears that now is the time to talk, so here goes.

I may have a slightly different take on all of this then some of you. I am not Christian. But, I have been dealing with my "gifts" for as long as I can remember.

So, what I can do. I am a clairvoyant, an audio-sensory, and a reader. My clairvoyance is unique, I have yet to run into anyone who's works the same as mine. I don't hear someone thoughts, I see them. This makes things different, more difficult, but also give me the advantage of seeing things that are more deeply rooted, more subconscious. The strongest and earliest example I have was in my teens. A friend that I was close to was over to the house, and very suddenly I could see a yard, filled with smoke, and a red wagon with a crying baby in it. I felt scared and confused and shocked. I looked up at him and asked, when was the fire... He looked at me like he had seen a ghost. His family had suffered a house fire when he was a young child, his baby sister had been in the wagon, and they were standing on the road watching. I take this ability very seriously, and it takes a lot of effort to control it so I am not seeing thoughts from people projected everywhere I go. The cacophony can be extremely overwhelming and I also feel that it is an invasion of someone privacy for me to know these private and personal things about them without their knowledge.

The audio-sensory is more straight forward. I get whispers from spirits, ghosts, what have you. They warn me of things, ask for help, or just talk because they know I can here. When I was younger I could see them more, and I remember two people that no one could see checking on me in bed in the night... when my mother was in the hospital, in labor with my brother. I too have had experiences with the dark. Ones that will never leave my memory, and are as vivid today as the day they happened. When I was 4 years old, sleeping in my bedroom I saw an aperation. A figure with a green face studied me so intensely and then asked me if I worshiped the devil. I answered him no, and he went away. But, so many years later I still remember every detail, the sound of my mother washing dishes in the kitchen, the light coming in under the door, the tone of his voice. I shut off this ability at one point, denied it completely, when I allowed it back into my life it was different. I don't see them anymore. I can hear them, I know what they look like, I see flickers of shadows, but I don't actually see them. I still have many moment of denial with this gift in particular. But my Guides see fit to remind me of its truth on a regular basis.

Because of what I can do, and the insistent stream of people who seem to come in and out of my life looking for guidance and assistance, I have chosen to develop my skills as a reader. I read Tarot, as well as Oracles and Runes, and I read palms. I have never and will never asked for any money for my services. I do it because I am prompted to, because my Guides tell me it is needed.

I do understand the need to laugh sometimes. That there is so much around us, so many things that people can't or won't believe. Its a good thing, I think, to be able to laugh at it a bit. A ghost with a more annoying voice, or the sight of something out of the corner of my eye. The laughter helps for it not to overtake my life, makes it easier to keep from being overwhelmed.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Jenn,

I don't think it is a matter of being Christain, Wiccan, Buddhist, Islamic, Pagan, or whatever. It is a gift of granting peace to someone. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. I appreciate it.

For myself, I do carry Holy Water in my pocket, and I use it on a pretty regular basis all over my home, and on my pets. I also wear blessed medals of Mary, St. Francis, St. Michael, and St. Benedict all for protection. Does anyone else?

Namaste,
Andrew

[NJFemmie]

Great post Jenn.

One of my exes had an incredible gift - almost exact as yours. It was quite scary and mind blowing how she would walk up to a total stranger (because she felt that pull) and start telling them things only they would know and passing on messages. Her gift was so powerful and so accurate - she had a way of changing any skeptic's mind.

I've "seen" so many things and experienced such some strange oddities in my life - sometimes you do have to laugh about things - not a "ha-ha that was funny" kind of laughter, but a way to shrug off the overwhelming feel of it all. (And sometimes it is kinda funny, lol). Being too serious about it, for me, would probably drive me to insanity.

[LadyFlamezzz]

First though i want to say I believe we are all gifted with sight into the other realms , we just have to be open to it. As someone said below as a child she saw more than as she grew older. I think because of everyday stress of just dealing with life and the many obstacles we tend to put that vision behind us as we grow older. Just to deal with life in general. I believe in ghost spirits entities demons incubus succubus dark shadows that float in to our peripheral vision so often. I also believe in lost energies souls that still roam for a number of reasons be it a traumatic death or what have you. We are based of energy. That is the core of all of us, to me that's the soul. anyway on to my story, I can get very long winded on this topic,lol

When my mom passed several years ago. I got the call to come NOW her blood pressure was falling. I missed her last heart beat by three minutes. My normal reaction was to run to her hold her in my arms and scream with my head buried beside her's on her pillow...when this occurred i saw a tunnel surrounded by a white light. The room filled with a white mist much like a cloud had come down and encompassed the room and the air chilled a bit, " I notice things like this naturally like many of you do" I believe in my heart that she waited to release her soul to follow that tunnel until I arrived. I know she is happy and pain free now and she still although crossed over as they say visits me often...the mist will fill a room i am entering and i just know it's her all the other apparitions i have seen in my life never presented with a mist.

I have read tarot since i was 14 i am now 51, I never charge for such a gift...and my insight flows freely no visions of whats to come I just know... I read people's vibrations well, I can tell a fraud a mile away with my eyes closed,lol

Incubus are the real lil devils,lol < they are so naughty>

Good thread Andrew...and Blaze i recall that accident well "the one with the bike'...glad you came back to you!

I do want to add I believe it is the higher power which gives the gift of sight to us and hearing the others...It's not to control or have another God before "me" anyway....Just to expand on the numerous possibilities for people and their future "choices' tarot is a tool used by myself as a guide for people. Much like counseling someone , accept i can cover more area because the cards tell me about the past as well as the future and what it MAY hold...any one can alter their future with one simple step in the opposite direction they are on at present. it's not worshiping the devil!
:cc:
oopsy i got a little long winded i warned yall !

[Andrew, Jr.]

Thank you Lady Flamezzz. I appreciate you sharing your story. I find it very odd when other people question those who have a gift. Maybe it is jealously. I don't know. I learned years ago not to judge. It is something that my late Grandmother taught me and most recently my Godmother retaught me. Being human we all judge, but it is not our place to do so. It is God's and God's alone.

Yes, I agree with you about how we are all energy. We are. And when I talk about having different levels, planes, or vibrations of reality - I think until you experience what we do, you will not understand. For example you being able to see the mist. For me, being able to sense pain in someone. At NIH, when I walked the hallways, I knew when someone was going to die. And I knew when they did. Instantly. And those who roam the hallways who died from a traumatic death...they were always around. Some were searching for loved ones, and some were searching for someone to help them cross over.

Laughter is the best medicine. True today as it was yesterday.

Andrew it's really okay when someone questions anything , i think that is the way some of us learn the best. You have to draw it out for me sometimes. I have learned or am trying to NOT let what others "opinions" are effect me when they are in a negative sense but sometimes i learn as well when others 'question" something especially in the world of paranormal activity. Being sensitive we endure almost a grieving emotion when people approach us in a negative way, It's not that we are not tough as nails we are. We just feel "I think" deeper than some people.

For example I hate to admit this but when folks really detest me for some reason ,it will bring me to my knees with emotion I feel this for them NOT me , It's so sad when people feel like that. I think you made a comment , I'm not sure though about being a teacher and or healer in some respect...with that gift , you have to be open to all. In order to see everything your suppose to see to help them. Even the shitty stuff !
I enjoyed posting thanks for having me :].....hope i made some sense...:wateringgarden:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Lady Flamezzz,

Part of my problem is oral communication. I do better one on one. In real time I am very quiet and shy. Online I am more "vocal".

I don't mind the questions people ask of me. What I do mind, is when they have a negative or evil intent like to trip me up. And yes, that is when it makes me drop to my knees. It makes me feel such a sense of horrible sadness for them, not me. I am very blessed. Blessed more than most.

Alot of people detest me. I have no clue as to why. I really don't. I am just me. I don't care to be in any click. I am my own man. I enjoy my life as it is. I will never be a super hot shot corporate exec. or own a chain of restaurants or have facial hair to shave off. Please. I am grateful to wake up with air in my lungs, and have the medicines I need so I don't have any more heart issues, control my diabetes, and lessen the seizures I have. Every site has the same trolls.

When you are a teacher or healer as you put it, our gifts are used as we see fit. When I look into someone's eyes, and I see the joy in their energy, or the depression they have, it just makes me go to St. Jude's Shrine to pray. And I do. I go every week sometimes 2 or 3 times a week if something is bothering me. It just gives me comfort.

You are always welcome here. I think the world of you and your hubby. :stillheart::wateringgarden:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Does anyone want to talk about anything in particular? Karma, Demons, Angels, Children & the Paranormal?

[Andrew, Jr.]

So does anyone have any that they want to share?

[Andrew, Jr.]

BUMP de BUMP BUMP:skateboard:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Did anyone watch "Psychic Kids" tonight on A&E? :police:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Ok, let me start. At a very young age I saw things, and knew things. As I got older, I could finish other people's sentences. If someone, including strangers, would walk by, I could pickup on their emotions. I can tell if someone is lying or not. I am a sensitive or empath. I also pick up on things that most people would never guess. For example trolls. They are everywhere. Good and bad. They feed off those who are weak. Or those who are sick. In the end, they die horrible deaths.

My Grandmother also was gifted. She saw things and would do certain things because of what she felt she needed to do. She always fed the homeless, and tried to dress the poor as best she could. She never missed a Sunday in Church. She was very religious. In fact, she only missed going to Church when she was sick. That was her day to connect with God. She was religious about putting out Kosher salt on the 4 corners of her property to protect her family from harm. She also pour Holy Water everywhere in her home, and cooked with it from time to time. She swore it helped her family from getting sick and dying. She read her Bible each and every day. And there was a Bible in every room of her home.

When my Grandmother had open heart surgery, about 2 weeks later she had an out of body experience. In fact, she had several. Now you have to remember she only had a little education. Maybe 3rd or 4th grade. However, in one of these experiences she was able to name the medicines, the doctors, the residences, and the ambulance driver and tech. She saw angels, and heard music, Jesus washed her feet and legs, and saw things that I can't even begin to put into words. I do believe in Heaven.

My adopted family- father, when he was dying from lung cancer, he was able to talk to us. He told us about the angels in the room, the beautiful music, and crystal light, nothing we would ever see here on earth. Then he died.

Anyone else want to share something with us?

[Tara201]

Hi Andrew....

I've enjoyed reading this thread...

I'm sure I'll have more to report after Jan 11th...
I'm going on a ghost hunt from the 8th - 11th and guess who's gonna be there?

CHIP!!!!

I'm so excited and looking forward to this trip with a friend of mine who also shares interest in the paranormal...

I'd be glad to share more when I get back :)
Thanks for starting this thread...I'm very interested...

[Andrew, Jr.]

Tara,

How was it? Do tell us about your adventures.

[Rockinonahigh]

Andrew..I will have to think about what and how to reply to this subject.I beleave whole heartedly to much of what has been said hear,but it hits very close to home and for me,hard to deal with.I'm already ecentric enough without adding more to the way I see things in the world and how I deal with it.I will say this,my gran was very clairvoiant and a healer and much more..said I had the gift but needed to be careful with it.My mother forbid her to teach me how to deal with how I felt or what I saw going on.I will post more later.
Rockin

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hi Rockin,

I think anyone who has this experience, blessing, whatever you want to refer to it as, is passed down from one generation to another. I know for myself I was given it from my Grandmother. I just loved her so much, and was totally devistated when she died. For me, I also think being an Aspi adds to this demension. I take it quite seriously because of what I have witnessed. I don't mock those who are into ghost hunting, or have beliefs in the paranormal. It isn't something that I take lightly.

Peace,
Andrew

[Andrew, Jr.]

Do you believe in curses and hexes?

[Blade]

Does anyone watch Children of the Paranormal? It was on
A & E last night. Really cool show!

[Andrew, Jr.]

YES! I enjoy that show so much. I also enjoy Chip. I think the world of that man.

Andrew,

gosh i am overwhelmed with so many questions, thoughts and many other things I dont know where to begin. I have always had a strong feeling that there is more to this world than meets the eye. I have had several questionable occurances in my life which may or may not have been paranormal. I suppose my most important question is....I have a need to seek guidance from someone with gifts and wisdom not ordinary ppl are capable of. Could you please explain how to find someone who is trust worthy and not one of those who play on the needs of others. I know some of the readers may ask...Princess, have ya tried church? Yes I have and continue to do so...i have always believed that GOD is everywhere I have my own beliefs about organized religion. I cant quote scripture but consider myselfl a good person. Which is more than I can say for some of those who do quote scripture and judge others....but I feel that sometimes you need a healthy combination of worship and those with "gifts."

Also, not knowing much about mediums or psychics....I have a fear that they can see more than I would want them to...like my past...things that have happened in my life..that I hold very personal. could you explain perhaps how typical reading my progress for someone who has never been? Thank you for you time and for the thread.

like, real trolls?

[Princess4u]

WOW!!!! I am speechless!!!..You are the gift to all of us. You were brought back for a reason, which I am sure you have probably heard several times. Your battle for life, while beyond my comprehension, what you endured...is truely a miricale in my eyes. Thank you for sharing, thank you for acknowledging your gift even the "bad" parts of it. Thank you for fighting so hard and coming back to us and to those who love you and need you! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Weeks later, I was brought out of a coma, then had to relearn to walk, talk, eat, and do all the normal things that we take for granted. Any way. It started then. I started seeing apparitions, first they seemed like a dream. Then they started coming to me, as to ask for help, I guess because I could see them. Then I started seeing apparitions everywhere I went, and everything I did. The spirits, I can handle, it's the dark apparitions that tend to freak me out, I don't know if they are taunting me, trying to scare me, or just being evil as there energies are, as they draw lots of energy to manifest. Oh well. That's what I deal with, be it a gift, or a curse. It's what I deal with 24/7 a day/night. So for those who think that I have a wild imagination, or that I am crazy. Think as you will... The more I talk about it, the easier it becomes for me to accept what I am/do. Laugh if you must. But unless or that is until you walk in my shoes. I think it will be me that perhaps, just perhaps may have the last laugh...

WOW!!!! I am speechless!!!..You are the gift to all of us. You were brought back for a reason, which I am sure you have probably heard several times. Your battle for life, while beyond my comprehension, what you endured...is truely a miricale in my eyes. Thank you for sharing, thank you for acknowledging your gift even the "bad" parts of it. Thank you for fighting so hard and coming back to us and to those who love you and need you! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Awesome thread Andrew.
I don't consider myself a psychic. But I do see apparitions more than I would like to admit. My Aunt was a spiritual healer, psychic clairvoyant and pretty well reknown in Hawaii.
When I was younger, I always felt things around me. But as hyper as I was, I never really took them serious because there was always another tree to climb, fort to build, and skate board contest to win. As I got into my teens, I was surfing. I caught what seem to be the perfect wave, well I wiped out, board hit my head, and I was pulled under. I don't remember, but they say another surfer pulled me in and a life guard revived me from a flat-liner. So I lived to surf another day, is how I put it. A few years later, I got cancer, and once again,and fought a long hard battle, I was classified as a flat-liner. Then 6 almost 7 years ago, I got into a motorcycle accident, Once again, I don't remember, but friends said, I was clipped on the back wheel from a 18-wheeler, went air borne about 30 feet, ate pavement for about another 20 feet before being embedded by a tree branch that split my helmet and went through my skull.
This time I was clinically considered dead, dead, flat-lined. The part I do remember, is liftng above my body, seeing people I didn't know trying to revive me as I laid there, I felt peace, no pain, just kinda, in limbo of serenity. Then I seen a very bright white and silver light beam, to which I could feel myself being drawn to. As I was being pulled towards this beautiful light, I seen my parents, my grand parents, cousins, friends, all just smiling and waiting. I was once again feeling very happy, excited, relaxed, pain free. Then with a mighty feeling of being yanked and sucked through a hose, I guess I was revived, and the pain, the aweful pain was all I felt, then again, I don't remember.

[LadyFlamezzz]

Andrew,

gosh i am overwhelmed with so many questions, thoughts and many other things I dont know where to begin. I have always had a strong feeling that there is more to this world than meets the eye. I have had several questionable occurances in my life which may or may not have been paranormal. I suppose my most important question is....I have a need to seek guidance from someone with gifts and wisdom not ordinary ppl are capable of. Could you please explain how to find someone who is trust worthy and not one of those who play on the needs of others. I know some of the readers may ask...Princess, have ya tried church? Yes I have and continue to do so...i have always believed that GOD is everywhere I have my own beliefs about organized religion. I cant quote scripture but consider myselfl a good person. Which is more than I can say for some of those who do quote scripture and judge others....but I feel that sometimes you need a healthy combination of worship and those with "gifts."

Also, not knowing much about mediums or psychics....I have a fear that they can see more than I would want them to...like my past...things that have happened in my life..that I hold very personal. could you explain perhaps how typical reading my progress for someone who has never been? Thank you for you time and for the thread.

Princess4u

I'm not Andrew but thought i'd give you a quick example...being a gifted person means we are sensitive to a lot of energy's given off by another person , for instance i read cards and also considered an em path/sensitive with some clairvoyance as a side gift , <so to speak> i read your body for one and your energy for another, the cards tell me a lot as well. normally a reading takes a lot out of a person ie the reader. we FEEL you , whats inside of you the energy that has been invaded of yours by something negative or positive can be felt by some of us. Your eyes can also tell a story. the way you present yourself to me tells me many things.At times i can literally feel the pain that your soul has felt and generally if that occurs I'm pretty accurate on what caused the event. recently i've been shown the gift of reading past lives it's fairly new to me but I am open to anything the universe wants to show me and guide me in learning. Can i tell you if your gonna get a speeding ticket, probably...those little insights are easy. Can i tell you if your long passed uncle still keeps an eye on you, sometimes yes, they come to me , it's just a natural occurence for some. being open to it is the key. As children many of us < see > things we can't explain and as we get older we push those gifts to the recesses of our minds because , well if we speak of such things some won't believe us because they are afraid to admit another plane of existence or spirits or the like even exist...it's simply a gift that some of us choose to allow to develop with in us and at times share with others who may need a bit of direction and or hope in their lives.
I believe we are not alone and i know there is another side and energy from that other side can and does make contact with those that allow themselves to see and hear and feel and accept it.

Anyone can sit in front of you and spew a bunch of words that may one in a hundred sentences may come close to being true...but those who are gifted hit that target a bit more often.

just my two cents, hope i didn't steer to far from what you inquired about...

Dear Ladyflamezz
No I am not deterred from my quest. I have longed for answers and directions and lately hope, which has been drained from my soul. I have had several experiences in my life to know that there is another plane of existance and that the paranormal does exist. I believe that very strongly and have great respect for those that can be a part of both worlds such as yourself. I have just always "known" that there is good and bad and lost souls around us everyday. I just have been afraid to find someone who was honest, trustworthy and turely gifted to seek the guidance I need so desperatly to keep going on w this life. Thank you very much for your time and information and for your gift.

I believe in the paranormal :) I find it fascinating.. and love to talk about anything of this nature. Does anyone listen to Coast to Coast radio program ? I hardly ever miss it. www.coasttocoastam.com I think that's the website.
I totally understand many of your stories. I love chip Coffey as well. He's on paranormal state as I sit here now :)

Do any of you meditate?

f1~

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hi Femmy1,

Yes, I believe in the Paranormal, and yes I mediatate. I love Chip Coffee. No, I do not read anyone on-line. I only can grasp this in real time, A Pretty.

If you dont have a sense that a loved one is watching over you, does that mean they arent there at all? How do you know when someone is with you? And if they are and you cant tell, can you ask them to give a clue that they are present?

I think they are around you but you have to be more observant, utilize other senses. It is most often when I am not asking for their presence, when I feel them the strongest. I get wafts of fragrances, or peripherial sitings. I also watch my animals, they can detect a lot. When I brought my cats ashes home and put her urn on a shelf, my dog sat and stared at it constantly--every now and then he would bark at it. Often I would wake from a deep sleep and go to the door to answer a beckoning meow yet I never found a cat. There are little things that happen everyday, I just observe them differently.

Thank you Kimbo! That broke my heart to hear about your dog and cat. Animals love as strongly as we do that is for sure. Unfortunately I dont have any babies of my own, so I am stuck with my sense, which arent getting any younger LOL. But I will try to hone them in. I suppose after 9 years I should just stop hoping my mom would have cared enoughto pop in once and awhile, but as I think abut it...maybe its better she doesnt LOL....I am sure I wouldnt be doing something right to meet her expectations of me LOL.!:simplelaugh:

Definitely ask them for a sign...If they are strong enough you may get all kinds of reactions, such as knocking on a near by wall> that was one of my late partners signs she was present three loud knocks on the wall of the room she died in in our home> that took about two years after her death to materialize. before that she would take dirt out of my potted plants and leave it on the floor for me also her nick name was penny for months after her death I would find pennies in the most unlikely places,lol

There are energy's all around us all all the time. generally I see or feel them before hearing them. Have you ever watched a paranoraml TV program and while watching it the hair stood up on your neck head or spine crawled......thats a good sign. it doesn't necessarily mean your afraid, it is your sixth sense speaking to you. have you ever seen a dark shadow pass by you < like in the corner of your vision> you think you saw something? Be open to it. Someone spoke of meditation earlier , thats a good way to open ones mind to what may be around them. it's a fairly simple process it involves deep breathing and teaching your self to have a minds eye focal point. I use colors to help me, for instance the color yellow or a flame setting my mind to totally fixate on a one object and clearing your mind of all else that runs through it during any given moment. and silence helps outside forces to get through so to speak. Don't doubt what you feel, just let it flow.

there are many different types of energy fields.I'll add some information links with nadrew's approval if anyone wants them. in regards to types .

it's a little bit of a challenge since I am not a gifted writer to show you how to summon a spirit via post,lol
but i hope this helped.

Princess My mom has been gone for seven and it took till just recently to pick up on her fragrance and last night i happened to have had a dream about her being alive and then passing....we also had a compromised relationship < to the degree of love hate > One thing to remember time on the other side is very different then it is for us as physical beings on earth. 10 years is like 10 seconds there, at least that's my belief. So don't give up on that connection. When my mom passed her room was filled with a cloud of cool white mist. and when she is around i still can see the mist but not her formation.sometimes when we want something so bad it deters it from occuring. just relax and let it flow.:angel:

[Miss Scarlett]

I believe there are spirits all around us and that people are much more sensitive to their presence than others. I used to think of them are "stuck" and they were supposed to "move on" but I'm not so sure of that now.

I grew up in a "haunted" house and as an adult have lived in at least two others. There is a definite presence in my office which not surprising because it is located in a building that was originally a hotel in the late 1800's. I've heard a lot of things a work and seen a couple of things from the corner of my eye. My personal favorite are the footsteps in the hall that accompany the shadow passing along the bottom of the door to my office or to the bathroom. Sometimes there's only one set but there can be several at once. It's pretty cool.

There's something here in my current apartment that drives my cat crazy. She walks around howling or sits and stares at the wall (or ceiling) meowing loudly to get my attention. Of course we are talking about a cat and this could just be a cat thing...but she didn't do this at my former residence. She's doing it right now as a matter of fact...

[Andrew, Jr.]

Animals have souls. They are all around us.

Spirits are all around us. Most definitely.

[Princess4u]

Thank you Lady,
I am glad you can relate to the issue around my mother. I suppose I have never expected her to really want to be around to make sure I am ok. She made it known on her death bed each of our places in her heart...and I dont think I made the top four and there are 4 of us. I suppose all I wanted to know was if she made it to a better place...after all she is my mother and despite years of abuse..I still love her....and just wanted her to be ok!!! I dont even know if she and my father have found eachother...or even if he wanted to spend eternity with her...she could be a very cruel person even to him. I would like to say I have given up hoping for their peace....but that wouldnt be true. Oh well....like I said...I dont expect them to hang around making sure I am ok....its just a warm and fuzzy thought....but thank you for your response....

[Andrew, Jr.]

When people are too close to me, I can't get a reading. I have seen spirits of my loved ones who have passed over after the fact. I no longer scares me as it used too.

:ohm:

[LadyFlamezzz]

Everyone who believes in parapsychology, raise MY hand.

(sorry, just couldn't help myself!)

now this is funny,lol
I keep trying to make ya do just that best but I'm afraid my gifts don't include physical manipulations,lol

[LadyFlamezzz]

Andrew with your,ok I'd like to post some basic definitions ie what is a ghost , what is a poltergeist, what is a....fill in the blank !
:bunchflowers:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Oh my Lady,

You can do whatever you wish. This is just as much your thread as it is anyone else's.

You are just a doll!

:candle:

[LadyFlamezzz]

Hauntings are spirits of deceased human beings appearing frequently in certain places. Poltergeists may not be spirits at all. Some theories are that poltergeists are mass forms of energy that a living person is unknowingly controlling. In some cases extreme poltergeists activity has been linked to demons. Hauntings are usually related to a specific place or tragic way of death.

The differences between Poltergeist activity and a Haunting can be hard to distinguish. In the early stages of a poltergeist is may be impossible. Haunts and poltergeists do share basic aspects, (apparitions, strange noises, odors, moving or disappearing objects, etc.).

There are also some points that make them very different: Poltergeists however, are usually linked directly to a specific person or object. Hauntings are appearances of ghost(s) in areas known to the deceased before their deaths. Poltergeists can be triggered by a living person's trauma in any area, at any time. Haunting activities are continuous over time, concentrated in the same area..

Poltergeists build up over time to a climax, then start over. They can travel anywhere. Haunting are not violent. Most poltergeists nearing the climax of their energy can become dangerous to the living. Inflicting both mental and physical terror in extreme cases. If you happen to meet with one of this kind, deal with it with the utmost care.

[LadyFlamezzz]

Aka : spector, disembodied spirit


Description : The visual appearance of any spirit, ghost, or unusual phenomenon that doesn’t necessarily take on the shape of a human form nor does it show signs of intelligence or personality. Usually they have a translucide human form that let appear the clothing of their period. They can also appear as incomplete, disfigured or headless. Most often, they show up and faint in a second.

Types: Ghosts can come in a variety of forms: children, men, women, animals and demonstrate various feeling. Some will pass without even noticing you, other remain hidden and seem just to focus on frightening you. Some will try to chase you out of their refuge, other will seek attention and even help or guidance.

Apparitions which are not considered as self-induced hallucinations (95% of the cases) are usually divided into 3 categories. These includes “crisis apparitions “ where the vision coincided with the death or endangerment of the person seen, “collective apparitions” where the same figure is seen simultaneously at the same point by two or more observers and lastly “haunts” where is seen in or neat the same place by a succession of independent witnesses.



G. N. M. Tyrell provides us with a picture of the "perfect apparition." If the "perfect apparition" were standing next to a normal individual, we would find points of resemblance:

(1) Both figures would stand out in space and be equally solid.

(2) We could walk around the apparition and view it from any perspective as vividly as the normal individual.

(3) The two figures would appear the same in any sort of lighting conditions, whether good or bad.

(4) On approaching the apparition, one could hear it breathing and making other normal noises, such as the rustling of its clothes.

(5) The apparition would behave as if aware of our presence. It might even touch us, in which case it would feel like an ordinary human touch.

(6) The apparition could be seen reflected in a mirror just as a real person.

(7) The apparition might speak and even answer a question, but we would not be able to engage it in any long conversation.

(8) If we closed our eyes, the apparition would disappear from view just as the ordinary person would.

(9) The apparition would appear clothed and with other normal accessories such as a stick or a package, perhaps even accompanied by a dog.

(10) Many times, when close to, or touched by, the apparition, we would feel an unusual sensation of coldness.

(11) If we tried to grab hold of the apparition, our hand would go through it without encountering any resistance. The apparition may disappear when cornered in this fashion.

(12) The apparition would generally not remain more than half an hour. It might vanish through the walls or floor. Or it might simply open the door and walk out.

(13) Apparitions differ in the extent to which they are able to actually effect physical objects, open doors, cast a shadow, be photographed. The "perfect apparition" cannot really cause any objectively measurable effects, although it may cause the subjective appearance of doing so.

Aka :Demons, Devil, Faeries, Incubes, ...



Description : These non human spirits are shape-shifters. In cases dealing with Ouija boards, black magic and satanic worship, they have been reported to disguise themselves as friendly and helpful human spirits. They can also appear as humans, animals or monsters (demons have usually two shapes : a monstrous and a human one)



Location : tend to appear only when summoned or in the vicinity of a cursed place

Theory : They are non-human originated ghosts and have the capacity to harm and alter our physical world.

[LadyFlamezzz]

Aka : repeated actions, residues

Description : a ghost that is trapped in a continuous loop. Many apparitions are always viewed repeating the same motions or scenes. Usually these ghosts pay little or no attention to the observer and go through the motions of the event that occurred in the past.

Time :usually such phenomenon occur at regular dates



Location :wherever happened brutal deaths

Theory : usually considered as a visual play back of a past event that has been imprinted on the area or building and is replayed back later when conditions are right. Since everything is made up of energy, the theory is that some of the energy from an event can be recorded by certain materials and played back when the energy is released just as a mere video recorder.

Famous : The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, who was always seen moving down a hallway with a lantern in her hand.

I am not sure what I think of the paranormal, but I know that when I lived in Murfreesboro TN, our house was built on an area which was a Civil War battlefield.

The lights cut themselves on and off, the TV changed channel on it's own....things moved on their own....and there was always a feeling of deep unease and sorrow over the entire area. I kind of liked to think of having ghosts, but a few of our guests were terrified.

Since we are all made up of energy, maybe what you are saying is exactly what happens, maybe intense energy does imprint on an area.

Very interesting reading!

Sounds to me that you lived in a haunted home.....this is Andrew's thread but great post Apocalipstic, thanks for sharing. You know Murfreesboro prolly has alot of sights such as the one you described, Tennessee and Kentucky are full of em,lol

Really anyone can post here. It isn't just my thread. I share willingly. Some days I am just too tired to even think or read. And today, my friends is one of those days. So please, feel free to share. Just care & love each other. Help those who need it. Nothing underhanded or nasty you know. Life is just too short for that sort of thing.

How do I know when to speak to my guardian angel, do I have to speak outloud for her to hear me? How do i know if she has heard my calls and knows my pain and how do I hear her answers? There isnt much time left for me to hear her.....

[LadyFlamezzz]

guardian angels are for the most part available to you if you seek them. hearing her is something you have to be open to. Princess she may not have the answers you seek. She is there for protection of your soul...she is not a in a sense a therapist. I'm not sure why you think there isn't much time left?
care to elaborate on that comment?
If your world < life > is in so much turmoil on a daily basis it is possible you can't sense the presence of anything due to stress and that turmoil.

I have had some very frightening experiences with quija...and am a firm believer that they are a doorway to the black unknown...but also...my mother told me of story of how she came to know she was carrying me in the early weeks...and it was thru the board it not only told her she was pregnant w a female child but it gave the first 3 letters of each of my pediatricians...and I had 3 when i was an infant..i was a sickly baby...it gave other info...as well..which all came true in my younger years...i never learned of this until i was in young adulthood...so my question is given such a senerio...are there negative or even positive marks left on someone. I mean given the bad events often related to quija boards...if that makes any sense to you.

guardian angels are for the most part available to you if you seek them. hearing her is something you have to be open to. Princess she may not have the answers you seek. She is there for protection of your soul...she is not a in a sense a therapist. I'm not sure why you think there isn't much time left?
care to elaborate on that comment?
If your world < life > is in so much turmoil on a daily basis it is possible you can't sense the presence of anything due to stress and that turmoil.
Sylvia Brown has some fantastic books on guides and angels and an array of topics...http://books.sylviabrowne.com/

I just want to know that she is here...i dont expect answers responses..but sometimes...when one is alone its nice to know you have someone present who cares.

[StoneFinn]

Hey Andrew and everyone--

Andrew-- do you mind if I post some photos?

[LadyFlamezzz]

So...there isnt anything a person can do to help these trapped souls move on? I mean if someone such as myself happened to witness such an event? To help them

repeated apparitions such as the ones described above are simply fields of extreme energy caused by brutal deaths or extreme situations. they are not really still with us as it states they are residual energies...in time they fade totally.sometimes it takes centuries for them to do so though...the souls from these apparitions have moved on...but the energy remains.

[LadyFlamezzz]

I have had some very frightening experiences with quija...and am a firm believer that they are a doorway to the black unknown...but also...my mother told me of story of how she came to know she was carrying me in the early weeks...and it was thru the board it not only told her she was pregnant w a female child but it gave the first 3 letters of each of my pediatricians...and I had 3 when i was an infant..i was a sickly baby...it gave other info...as well..which all came true in my younger years...i never learned of this until i was in young adulthood...so my question is given such a senerio...are there negative or even positive marks left on someone. I mean given the bad events often related to quija boards...if that makes any sense to you.

I don't think so...princess the spirits simply gave information to your Mom...I don't think < I may be wrong> that those spirits connected with you as a fetus...however they where simply answering your Mom's inquiry. I too believe that boards can and are a portal for almost any entity to pass through and some stay sense alot of people don't know what they are dealing with when they use a board but I think good can also come of them as well as bad....I have a similar story dealing with the boards, My mom knew the name of her husband and the fact he was in the armed forces years before they met by asking the board....

[Apocalipstic]

Sounds to me that you lived in a haunted home.....this is Andrew's thread but great post Apocalipstic, thanks for sharing. You know Murfreesboro prolly has alot of sights such as the one you described, Tennessee and Kentucky are full of em,lol
Do you recall ever hearing about
< don't say her name out loud ,please > the bell witch ?
As a young child i grew up fearing her name,lol


I loved it that the house scared houseguests so much. Heh! It was a new house, but something was going on there for sure!

Oh yes, the Bell Witch! Adams, TN. In high school we used to drive up to Adams and see the cave, the cemetary and the foundation of John Bell's hosue. I think you have to pay now?

Once, we got freaked out at the house and I remember driving back through Greenbriar at like 120 miles an hour! So lucky we were not stopped by the police or worse.

One night, maybe 20+ years ago after the Threshermans show in Adams (old time threshers are cool!) people said they had blood on their cars.

I have not been up there in a while, maybe this Spring I will take Cynthia. :) :vampire:

Feeling alone is at times a terrible experience ...but when i was single and living alone I took that time to heal me and get to know me from the inside out so to speak...it was an eye opening experience what i learned was I am a strong woman capable of handling my own life by myself I actually grew from that time alone and I loved it....After my Mom's death i took a year off from being with anyone I refused to date or even think about dating..it was one of the best times of my life and the worst.... grieving your Mom's death never goes away no matter the type of relationship you had. Mom's are hard to let go of, period! Although I will never totally let her go I have to come to find a peace in knowing she is around me at times and I know in my heart I will see her again....my point is be ok with just being you alone for awhile, things do get better but at times you have to get to the bottom before reaching for the top again...and know you have us to lean on !

that's what being a community is all about.....

They say you can at times see low floating blue lights on the yard and as the old saying goes if you say her name three times while looking at your reflection in a mirror her face will take shape in yours...................yep, I've done it,lol

My mom visited her cave as a young woman and told me she got the hell scared out of her...I never went but read a few of the books written about her and her time torturing the Bell family...she would rip the sheets off the beds of the children and pull one of the girls hair < i forget the names> and when she was alive they say she would sit in the middle of a room of the house and hair pins would fly out of her hair...also the window shutters would open and close by themselves.She would also climb into bed with some of the bell family at night and freak them out.....she still haunts the homestead I'm sure of it!
I've heard there are markings in the cave supposedly that is where she died so she resides there still.

[BornBronson]

:twitch:

Sometimes I think I share too much.You know what goes on in my home Andrew.But ever since you gave me a few items it has helped me turn from these evil spirits who wish to cause me harm physically,mentally,and spiritually.When I see and hear things I pray to my God,"they" seem to fear him and move on.But i'm cursed with the third eye.It means I will always attract paranormal activity.A lot of my faith started off in paganism,so i'm stuck with those energies(both good and bad) in my life.It is hard for me to understand or explain well all that I have experienced.These days I don't "encourage" myself to pick up on these energies even though they want to show themselves to me and will continue to do so for the rest of my days.That world(other worlds)will be shown to me once i'm gone and buried.What I must do is live life here,right now,in this world.I do believe in demons and know they do exist and how they use their trickery.In my home all the answers I ever need now are in the holy bible.If I feel troubled by anything I just pick it up turn to a page and there I find my answers and much comfort.It has really helped me understand more about what I have experienced throughout my life concerning the paranormal.

I'll post more later...

[Andrew, Jr.]

StoneFinn,

Please share your photographs.


BornBronson,

Yes, we have worked long and hard on your situation. I am so grateful to God for healing, and comfort for you & your family. God is merciful to all of us.

I too have shared wayyy too much info. online. You are not alone in that. I have a fault in believing and trusting everyone 110%. My bad.

Namaste,

Are your parents what we would consider "soulmates" bc of the board or the board just make a path for her to find him?
I witnessed a board go sailing across the room and almost hit one particular person in head. The spirit attacted to the board didnt like one of the college dormmates and made quams about hididng this fact. "It" trapped her in an elevator for about 2 hours. I tried to tell them its nota a gome...but they d wouj

Yes I think My Mom's last husband and my adopted Dad who I adore and is still alive thankfully, they where soul mates.....my dad told me that he had more in my mom as his wife of almost 35 years that most men could only dream of having what They had together...They where one in the same yet so seperate.a very loving and affection couple... My mom's only cruelness was mine to feel ........everyone else adored her.I think the board just gave his information to let her know she would find happiness in a mate one day....

[Miss Scarlett]

I know for certain that my Mom is with me, especially at work. She was an attorney and we worked together for over 10 years until she retired in 2001.

I've been under the weather for the last few days so my brain has been a bit foggy. Yesterday I was drafting a very complex Separation Agreement and had to incorporate a clause I had never encountered in my 20+ years in law. I dug through my personal sample library, the docs my boss has in our system, my books, case law, statutes...everywhere I could think of looking for just the right language to convey our client's wishes while complying with the law. After a few hours of searching I came up empty. So I ended up just staring at the screen wishing I could talk with my Mom about this - we used to write by collaboration. Then I just started typing - not thinking, just typing. And in one attempt came up with the exact language needed. The only changes my boss made to this portion of my draft was having me combine two sentences and change the layout of the paragraphs to fit her writing style not my Mom's.

I know that was from my Mom. She was one heck of an attorney and kept her law license active until she died - I've got her actual license document here in my home office. I guess she's still "practicing."

How impressive Miss S...I'm sure your mom is right there when you need her most of the time. That is a hard bond to break a mother and child i would think Glad she came through for you :::smiles:::A lot of people In my opinion wouldn't have had the trust to let their fingers move with out a specific direction, ya know...but you had faith in her and that i so enjoy reading about, a bond that strong.

I've heard there are markings in the cave supposedly that is where she died so she resides there still.


I wonder if I can still find it? and in the daylight? Its been at least 20 years since I have visited the homestead. At Halloween they give tours of the cave now, but they charge and have a guide. I bet it is not as scary. :(

Have you heard of Lilydale? http://www.lilydaleassembly.com/
We went with Cynthia's grandmother. I did not really believe before we went there and I am not sure how it all works, but they are for real. It was a very changing trip for us. Especially Cynthia. :) I was afraid to go this past Summer, I have been having such a hard time with my Dad's death (we hated each other) that I was scared if I went he would come through and I have spent most of my life trying to get over his abuse and him. I kept seeing him for a while and Bit and Gryph helped me with that, but I don't want to start it up again.

I do hope to feel centered enough to go again sometime, it is quite an experience. They say only positive spirits come though, but I am still scared.

[Apocalipstic]

As for saying too much on line?
Maybe I just don't care any more?

[Andrew, Jr.]

Lilydale was on TV a while ago. I am not sure if it was Paranormal State or another show of the like. I would like to go there.

Well,it wasn't too hard to go back to something that has always been there for me,Andrew.You just made me think long and hard about a bad situation and how easy it was to solve if only i'd give my hand back to the lord.I want to thank you again for that brother.

I think I post alot online because I see it almost like a personal diary.You know how it's way too easy sometimes to write stuff down when no one is looking.The thing here is that they're looking,lol.Another reason could be is I just like to see myself "talk".

Trust is a good thing at times,Andrew.

The way I see it now is that what works for you,go with it.I have my beliefs back and they are very strong these days.In other words,i'm not easily fooled by demons anymore.

When my mother died she never came back to 'visit' me.And that's how I prefered it if the truth be told.She is safe with our lord,in my heart I know this to be true.

[Andrew, Jr.]

BornBronson,

This can be a journel of sorts. And yes, people read it. Some understand, some don't. It is just a matter of connecting your heart and soul together with others. Everyone is just at different levels, and perspectives. Trust, I am too freely giving it. I trust people when they tell me xyz that it is xyz. Then to read it is abc. Then to have someone refer to me as this or that. It is just not right on so many levels. But that is where the trust issue comes into play. My trust was broken when I was a little boy by my parents. To me it isn't a game. Trust is so much more than that. I used to think that most people would be trustworthy. I have learned the hard way that some are not. It is on them, not me. I am open and honest. But I am not a doormat.

I am soo excited to hear you bring this up because I am a Lily Dale enthusiast !! I love it there .. I spend most of my summers there. I know you have nothing to fear while there, it is sacred ground, that's for sure !! Did you see any real good mediums while there ??

I had never heard of Lily Dale before reading this thread. I have looked at the website but I would love to hear more from someone who has been there.

I have wanted to have a reading for many years but have never done it. My life has been full of twists and turns and once again I have found myself at a cross roads. I have been uncertain which way to proceed from here and I would really enjoy some input from the universe and the powers that be.

If anyone has a suggestion as to whom I should talk to or how to go about finding someone I would greatly appreciate it!

I have been once, but do want to go again, just this last Summer with the my Dad stuff it was too much.

We went to the stump in the Forrest and a medium spoke to Cynthia's grandmother and gave her a message from her Husband, we were all in tears the rest of the day. They went last Summer and had readings, but I stayed home.

The Mandala monks were there when we went which was so cool.

I have not had a reading on my own, but would love to.

It is a beautiful little Victorian village filled with mediums and surrounded by a lake and an enchanted forest. They have free services with readings a couple of times each day and lot's of mediums who live there full or part time. There is a sweet pet cemetary, a fairie walk, its just lovely.

Femmy1, I am so excited to know you are there often, have you actually stayed on the grounds? We stayed near by at the White Inn, which is also haunted and very cool.

I found the place very empowering to women and interesting. I hope to go back when I am ready and feel more centered. JUst sitting in the library looking at the books was wonderful in itself.

I onced tried connecting my heart and soul with others,they took my heart and crushed it into little pieces then had the nerve to go after my soul.I was a teenager back then and didn't know any better.So I lost trust at a young age myself,Andrew.Now when someone tells me things i will just take their word for it but until i actually witness it with my own two eyes,i won't believe them.

Yes,I know that people are different and grow at many levels.The thing is to grow,right?.Right.

Okay,back to the paranormal.I'm still hearing that deep male voice coming from my living room.It's so weird sounding.I really don't understand what he's saying,nor do I want too.It reminds me of someone in prayer.Which can be seen as a good thing I suppose.I'm not really feeling threatened by it at all to tell you the truth.I'm just leaving it up to the lord.Sometimes I have to look into my heart for the answers,and sometimes I read the good book.:glasses:

[Andrew, Jr.]

BornBronson,

It could be a chant of some sort. It is good to talk about - to bring it to light. Demons do not like that. If you bring it to light, they loose their intensity, and interest. Put the H.W. on the wall in the form of a cross. And say your prayers.

Today I had Liam and The Lady Snow remind me that it is human nature to fight amongst each other. It isn't a racial thing, or a Native American thing, or whatever. It is a human nature thing. And they are right. It is a human nature thing to want to be right or to be #1. I never gave it a thought like that before.

Peace,
Andrew

[Andrew, Jr.]

I always post when to put the house protection above your front door. Forgive me, it is a bit past when this is due. Usually you put this Jan. 6th or during Epiphany. In Latin it means "May Christ Bless This Home".

Oh, that's what that means...my Dad & Stepmother wrote this in chalk above the doors into the house but neither one could remember what it said.

I have a mezuzah on my doorpost but it's not for protection. We are commanded to post this as a reminder of our faith.

That's true Andrew,talking about it kills the fear.I do say my prayers,everynight.And that helps too.

Why do you need to be reminded that people fight,aren't the papers enough?.
As for being right,we're not always right.It's good to open your mind up and listen to others.Like this thread for instance.I believe in all the stories others have posted here because I know that ghost,spirits,and demons do exist.I've been living with paranormal activity all my life,and frankly i'm tired of it.Everytime I saw/heard something unexplainable I wanted an explanation,but never got one.But when I returned to the lord and the bible,all my questions were answered.That works for me,of course I know that won't work for everyone.
Fighting Is a natural thing it seems,wanting to control others,shit like that.It's also juvenile if you ask me.

have you tried smudging ? or approaching this entity or telling it to leave ?
you could also set up a voice recorder and tape the evp and play it back on slow sometimes you can decipher what they are saying that way, I'd be curious to find out exactly what is being said, could be a message for you of some kind from a loved one who has found you.

[Soft*Silver]

I had a client who was dealing with her teenager..basic teen angst.

they had a poltergeist in the house

and one day, I walked into my LOCKED office, for my first morning client (who was this person) and carefully stacked in the oddest of ways, were items taken from my desk, in the middle of the desk.....

well now...

I became a believer....

You're not quite correct in your understanding. The scroll (klaf) inside the Mezuzah case does not contain Holy Prayers. Below I pasted an explanation by a Rabbi whose words are far better than mine.


From Rabbi Shraga Simmons: "On the doorpost of every Jewish home rests a mezuzah. Some may think it's a dainty decoration or a good luck charm. Put one up to keep the evil spirits away!

Actually, a mezuzah is a daily reminder ― and a public declaration ― of Jewish identity and faith.

Though mezuzah literally means "doorpost," it commonly refers to a scroll of parchment containing biblical verses, placed on the doorpost.

The mezuzah recalls the Exodus from Egypt, when the lamb's blood smeared on the doorpost "identified" the Jewish homes that God passed over during the plague of the first born.

From that day forward, the mezuzah has always identified a home as being Jewish. Travelling throughout the world, one can often seek out fellow Jews by looking for a mezuzah on the door. In areas where Jews have been exiled (e.g. Eastern Europe and Middle East countries), many doorposts still bear the mark of a mezuzah removed.

The scroll contains the first two paragraphs of the "Shema" prayer, declaring the oneness of God, and commanding us "to write [these words] on the doorpost of your house and on your gates" (Deut. 6:4-9). The second passage (Deut. 11:13-21) teaches that Jewish destiny, both individually and nationally, depends upon fulfilling God's will.God told us to put these verses on our doorpost, to remind us of His "instructions for living."

Many people have the custom to touch the mezuzah when walking through the doorway, and then to kiss their hand. As we pass by, we focus on God's instructions posted on the wall."

[BornBronson]

have you tried smudging ? or approaching this entity or telling it to leave ?
you could also set up a voice recorder and tape the evp and play it back on slow sometimes you can decipher what they are saying that way, I'd be curious to find out exactly what is being said, could be a message for you of some kind from a loved one who has found you.


I smudge all the time LadyFlamezzz.My home reeks of white sage and sweetgrass.My mother was native american and taught me many ways to protect myself from evil spirits,she and her father.my grandfather.Her powers were unbelievable unless you seen them first hand.Something always protected her,she said it was passed down from her grandmother on her father's side.She told me it is passed on to all the women in her family,including me.What it is i cannot tell you,but i know that there is something there,a shield.My mother also considered herself catholic.I think one of the reasons I feel close to the church these days because a baptism was performed on me as a baby.So basically i'm just finding my way back to a faith that feels right for me.I don't want anything further to do with that voice.It has since gone but I do have this funny suspicion where it came from,but i feel it is not for me to play with.So i won't be doing any recording if and when 'it' decides to return.

I think the ghost hunters,or the ghost adventures crew would have had themselves a ball here on my property.Of course it was no picnic for me.I notice through my faith a portal/gate has been closed,for now.

I am Jewish, too, and I just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. As with anything Jewish, there is much that is subject to interpretation and debate. The mezuzzah is something that does provide protection, according to what I was taught. I was also taught that it comes from the story of Passover, when the Jews placed lamb's blood on their doorposts to signify that they were Jews so that G-d would "pass over" their homes and spare their first born sons during that plague. This was not just for identification, but also for protection, since an "all knowing" G-d would not need to be told who was Jewish and who was not. The scroll inside, if it is kosher, has been prepared according to certain rules by a scribe, and if it is ever to be discarded, it should be buried in the same way as any holy book would be. So, inasmuch as any Jewish text is holy, I think the scroll in a kosher mezuzah would be considered so. When my daughter was ill, and there was no explanation, one of the things that our rabbi suggested (and others, too) was to make sure that a mezuzah was placed on our daughter's bedroom door.

Just some other thoughts on the subject.

Great post Lynn! The act of the blood was an indicator of faith and obedience. I doubt any Jewish family that failed to put the blood on their doorpost were spared the loss of their first born.

I didn't go in depth in the Mezuzah discussion because the point I was trying to make is that it is not a "good luck charm" or anything like that. There are some churches in my area that have adopted Mazozot, tallitot, kippot, Shofarot, etc. and are using them for good luck or ornamentation. Or they're doing "cool Jewish stuff." I saw a man a few years ago walking through Pride with a Shofar hanging out of the front pocket of his pants!

[Andrew, Jr.]

Miss Scarlett, :cheer:

Thank you for that info. It is good to have that. You are just a gem!

[femmy1]

I live a short distance from there. This summer my daughter and I are going to start taking some classes there. I actually dated one of the teachers there for a short time

HI !! I am 3 hours away in Pittsburgh..that's cool you have a chance to take classes etc. I have taught there many times :) It's such a great place. What classes are you planning to take? I am not teaching this summer, but plan to be in for weeks at a time, and just absorb everything hahah
f1~

[Andrew, Jr.]

Femmy1, :bunchflowers:

What workshops are you teaching? I am so looking forward to going this spring. It just depends on finances. I want to get a reading done by Lisa Williams. I adore her from what I know.

Thanks!

[Lady Pamela]

Before I do my post I would just like to say Thank you for creating this thread Andrew, Jr. :thumbsup:

Here is my story in short...:cheesy:
I have studied the paranormal now for over 31 years.
And currently am a psychic/Medium, Reader & Empathic Healer.
Much like you (Andrew, Jr),my search and directions came from
personal happenings through-out my life.
My first paranormal experience started clear back when I was 6.
And has not quit...Still to this date.
I have had both posotive and negative sides.
As I have grown, I get very little negative anymore because I now
understand it all more...Thank The Powers That Be!
Actually as I have studied, this all becomes stronger
as I become more understanding and aware of what exists.

I was compelled to seek out and learn all I could because what was
taught in my home did not explain what I knew to be true.
And as a result, I get to do what I love and have a passion for. :rose:

Ok I know, I am a bit long winded...But I am excited to share in this thread.

May Love and Light Surround You Always!

[Andrew, Jr.]

I can recall my first encounter with the paranormal...the assination of JFK. I was 3 months old. It was just that traumatizing, if that is the right word to use.

The next one was when I was in 1st grade. I had a full fledged conversation with xyz in school. This person sat down next to me in class, and we talked at length about what was going on, and my mission in this life. Then I came back to my class, and this person was gone. Time was missing.

Throughtout my life too many things have happened. I know too much. I have seen too much. Often I will ask others what they "see" or "perceive" to be happening. And I think on it. Sometimes I have to go to Church and pray because it is just overwhelming.

When my beloved sister, Jo, was dying, this really threw me for a loop. I just knew the outcome before the doctor's lips even opened. I also knew when I had to do what task and at what time. It was just knowing. It took 3 yrs for her to die.

You remember JFK dying when you were 3 months? I don't remember anything till I was 3 years old. We were in Comodoro Rivadavia in Southern Argentina when he died....

I do get faint thoughts or a weird feeling about things, people or places sometimes. I know the phone is going to ring and who it will likely be. Who I need to stay away from.

I was very sick to my stomach and knew something horrifying was happening when my mother died. I remember lying on the sofa just knowing.

Sometimes I will start singing a song, then turn on the TV and the song will be playing in the same key at the same point I was in the song.

When I am spun, things jump off the shelves around me and electrical things don't work right.

A watch will not keep time if I wear it. Magnetic hotel key cards never work for over a day for me.

Paranormal? Who knows. I think of it more like science we don't have an explanation for yet.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yep, I have the same experiences as you do. To this very day I rarely wear watches because I stop the watch from working. I have tried using nail polish on the back of the watch (a clear color) as a barrier between my skin and the watch battery. It doesn't work. I still stopped it.

My parents were having a huge party in November. My mother was in the dry cleaners when it came over the radio in the car. I was with my Grandmother and siblings.

I was thinking about having the glucose meter watch that is coming out on the market. However, I am not sure if it will work with my chemistry.

I have tried clear finger nail polish too, and clear tape. Did not help at all.

[Lady Pamela]

I as well can not wear electrical devices but I did learn that some people can if they place a rubber piece behind the back of the watch..It did not work for myself..But it is worth trying ...Smiling

[Andrew, Jr.]

Oh yes, I tried that one too. Still a no-go. :hangloose:

[Lady Pamela]

Oh yes, I tried that one too. Still a no-go. :hangloose:



Who needs a watch anyways?...lol

The only place time exists as we know it anyway, is here..On this mundane planet...Grin

[Andrew, Jr.]

Do others pray and meditate throughout the day? I do. I find it gives me inner peace.

There was a quote I used today by Mr. Peale, "Don't take tomorrow to bed with you." I find he is so right about that one. I try to make peace with each and every day and each and every person. I am a peacemaker in my family. It is something that I have tried to do with my siblings and parents. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not. But I did try.

I may try that. In the US I use my cell phone and I have a pocketwatch I clip on my purse or bag when I am traveling. :)

[Darth Denkay]

Hey all!

I've been reading this thread - very interesting stuff indeed. My girlfriend is sensitive to some things paranormal. I am not - not at all - and I am so glad.

I do believe in it, but I'm (thank god) not sensitive to any of it. I do agree with what Jen mentioned, that it's probably an area of science that we can't currently explain. I'm a scientist at heart, and I do think there is a scientific explanation for it all, but expect it will be years (if ever) that we even start to sort it out.

Also I wanted to mention that my mother has the same issue with watches. WHat works for her is putting electrical tape on the back of the watch. Worth a shot perhaps...

A watch will not keep time if I wear it. Magnetic hotel key cards never work for over a day for me.

[Miss Scarlett]

Yeah, it's going to be one of those nights around here tonight.

This just happened. I'm sitting here playing on my computer and my cat starts tickling and smacking me on the back of my right arm with her tail. No big deal, happens all the time...What's different tonight is that my cat is nowhere near my right arm because she's asleep on a small foot stool to my left...

Guess I have a houseguest.

[femmy1]

where did everyone go ??
just checking in !!

[Beachcomber]

I know this is not exactly on topic, but I am a big Monsterquest fan. I have a friend on the site, but maybe there are others out there?

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yes, I too am a monsterquest fan. :sugarglider: I love the show!

I wanted to throw this out here. I posted it in the movie thread too. There is an upcoming movie called "The Rite" starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and is being directed by Mikael Hafstrom. It is based on a book written by Matt Baglio "The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist". It is about an American Priest who travels to Rome to learn how to perform exorcisms. Has anyone read the book? I am going to see the movie most definitely!

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

YAY! My kinda thread!!! lol

Well I'm off the Gettyburg tomorrow and meeting up with PRS team and Michelle Belanger! I'm way excited!! I also met someone on FB that is a resident of Gettysburg so I'm going a day early and maybe get a tour that only a townie can show you! Got all my gadgets and I'm ready to go!!

I'll be posting pics on my FB group page. If you care to join the group and get involved in the discussions its at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=283371794271

================================================== =========

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Does anyone know of this fella? He is a wonderful person. I really admire him. He is a medium, psychic, and clairvoyant. He is Roman Catholic, and does wear silver medals of the Crusifix, and St. Michael, and St. Benedict at all times, and carries Holy Water with him in his pocket.

Andrew....I met him on my ghost hunt with TAPS...He's an awesome guy and funny as hell....lol. Very much into saving animals from shelters too. I have a great pic with him on my FB group too. Oh and I won a reading with him in an auction, but havent done it yet. But I will soon!

[Andrew, Jr.]

I would love to meet Chip one day. He just leaps off the screen at me! :beerbros:

PS: I also get a kick out of the scarves that he wears. He has more scarves than all 4 of my sisters and 6 nieces combined have in total! :thinking:

I will have to check out the pictures. Gettysburg is very very very haunted. My adopted brother and his partner have seen ghosts, orbs, and ufo's there. I have just seen ghosts. Have a great time! :boxers:

Thanks so much! And yes he had some scarves with him on the weekend...LOL. He's alot of fun to sit around with and shoot the shit. He absolutely LOVED the idea of an all gay paranormal group. Said he would join us when he could!

[Andrew, Jr.]

Chip seems to be less stressed, and so much more relaxed since his mother died. It was like a huge burden was released. I so hope he does participate with you guys. That would be a treat!

Thanks Andrew....I'll keep you posted...if I can get a big enough group even tho they are not Team members...I'll let you know! Maybe you can join in!

[Andrew, Jr.]

I would love too! However, my health is not so great. I may take a rain check on that offer. I have 2 speeds, slow & slower. :|

That makes 2 of us man...I do what I can when I can...ya know? I was afraid I was gonna miss this weekend, but thankfully Im feeling a bit better today. Let's hope I dont crash on over the weekend....I missed one day with TAPS. Just couldnt do it! So I get it!

[SuperFemme]

I plan on haunting quite a few people.

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD,

Keep us posted on how it goes this weekend. I am just thrilled for you. Is this weekend with TAPS or the other group?

When you go to Gettysburg, you will have a ball. Trust me. :formalbow:

Thanks Andrew! I'll be with the Paranormal State group from A&E. TAPS will also be there this weekend but with a different group. I figured since was already with TAPS I'll see what PRS has to offer. I do know Eilfie is doing a special segment on historic research and I want to see if I can learn more about that. I'm really going so I can stalk Michelle Belanger....LOL . I'm trying to get my new puter set up ... I got a laptop specifically for the Team and evidence. Must say I'm NOT having fun setting it up...lol.
I'm really excited about this! Oh and Lorraine Warren is gonna be there. She doesn't impress me much but we are going to her museum and I wanna see that! I hope you check out the FB group page cuz I have a ton of pics to upload soon...and then more of course after this weekend! Thanks again!!!

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD, :thumbsup:

I am so excited for you! Trust me, I will be watching and waiting! Give Michelle my best. She is so dear.

Lorraine Warren...I have mixed feelings as you do. Tell me more about the museum once you experience it.


:beatcomputer: = me and computers

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD,

Oh do share here. Don't forget! :tongue:

[femmy1]

ghosthunting ?? ohhh my !! I went through gettyburgh one time and it was unnerving !! I couldn't drive fast enough. I am learning alot these days about the differences between ghosts and spirits.

I prefer spirits. But I am fascinated with the entire realm... Andrew and GHD-- have either of you heard or read anything by Rosemary Winkowski ?? She is amazing and she doesn't have to look for ghosts...she can see them like she sees you and I. I have been studying her stuff for about a month now. Check her out.

Last summer I went on a ghost hunting tour of the Shantly INN in NY, near Woodstock, but nothing good happened.

f1~

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hi Femmy1,

I have tbi. For some reason the spirit world is attracted to me. For some reason most folks who have tbi or some debilitating injury have this "gift" as well. I have no answer as to why it is. I always think of dolphins and how they have a sense to know when human beings need help, and will protect them against sharks. Even during wartime, the stories of soldiers being protected by dolphin just amazes me.

I agree with you about the difference between spirits and ghosts. Huge difference.

As for Rosemary W. - I have heard the name before, but can't place her.

Gettysburg is very un-nerving. Even driving thru I pick up on so much. It makes my heart pound, and I break out into a sweat. My brother and his partner witnessed everything from ufo's, and were chased there by the ufo's. They talk about it like it happened yesterday, but it happened like 14 years ago.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Femmy1,

I had to go research Rosemary W. She has been on Coast to Coast. She is like the Ghost Whisperer. I know who you are talking about. I haven't read much on her, but I had seen shows on her on A&E and the Discovery Channel. The one thing that stands out in my mind is that the FBI believes everything that comes out of her mouth. Word for word. That is rare.

I like her take on negativity, crossing over, and smuging. All true if you ask me. I use Holy Water vs smudging. It is my belief system.

What do you think of her?

[femmy1]

Hi Andrew- yes Rosemary is the real deal ! Law enforcement believes her because she is that factual and accurate. I have been impressed with her work.

I have several clients who have TBI as well and are exceptionally intuitive and empathic as well. I don't know the exact connection, but I see the results :)

Russel Targ is also someone I respect. Hiw work is very interesting, I am learning more about him and his historic work. Is anyone familiar ??

f1~

[Andrew, Jr.]

Russel Targ has wild hair. Like mine when I first wake up in the morning.:lol2:
He is a scientist, teacher, writer. I think he is well known really for his work at Lockheed Martin for his work on lasers. Now Targ is involved with Joe McMoneagle, the world's best remote viewer. McMoneagle is known for his work in Stargate. Amazing work.

Do I believe in this? Yes. Shirley MacLaine once spoke about this, and remote viewing. It was absolutely fascinating.

[sylvie]

subscribing -
loving what i've read so far. (maybe i wont sleep tho haha)
and so joinin the fb group below (hope thats okay)
this stuff fascinates me, although i'd tremble like a scaredy cat, i'd loveto go to places like that one day! (never alone tho, no no never alone LOL)

here in new brunswick (canada) we have lots of haunting stories i'd love to check out, as well as in the rest of the Maritimes, and ive read on websites about various places around the world too..
i've encountered minor things, i work in a Nursing Home and also, a place i once lived in as well, but nothing too drastic. also have had experiences where i can feel someone with me.. won't get into that cuz thats not really what this thread is all about..

ok back on topic, ive never seen (nor heard) of that show, wonder if we get it here, i'll have to check my listings! i really need a good scare, LOL (erm, yeah.... not really, but, for some reason i cant help watching these kinds of shows)

ok, ramble over! *grinz*

[sylvie]

ok when i go to that fb group link, for some reason it takes me to my own groups listings rather than the group, sniff..

anyone have a link ? :awww:

update: went hunting & found it, disregard this message plz :P

[femmy1]

Her name is Mary Ann Winkowski...he he not rosemary....

Just in case anyone wants to check her out, her book, when ghosts speak is an absolute goldmine of information ~~

Targ worked setting up remote viewing projects for the CIA, he is legally blind and convinced the government to let him have a motorcycles driver's license for like 20 years... go figure !!

f1~

[Andrew, Jr.]

It is the military's gift to Targ for all of his work. The man is brilliant. And his thinking and logic are so simple. He amazes me. :motorbike:

Have you read "Upon a Pale Horse" by William Copper? It is his conspiracy theories. One of the reasons why he was killed.

:alieninjar:

[Andrew, Jr.]

I cannot come here without mentioning Ed & Lorraine Warren. I really want to go to their museum one day. The two items they have relics from that is of interest to me are the raggedy ann doll named Annabell; and second, the relics from Amityville Horror. I also have to give Lorraine credit for rainbow bridge. That alone has given me so much inner peace and joy.

Anyone else? :wateringgarden:

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

OK, I'm gonna post a story that I put on my PRIDE Paranormal group page. This happened to me in Gettysburg over the weekend and it really freaked me out!!

Had a VERY disturbing incident happen today at the Bloody Creek. I was just standing with the group and taking pics and listening to the tour guide. It was a beautiful, but cold day and we all had our coats on. Well, I wanted to touch the water...something told me....Jaye don't touch the water.....but Jaye WANTED to touch the water!!! I never got to touch the water because suddenly my body started to burn up....and I mean BURN! I took my jacket off, but I was still really hot and started to sweat. I walked away from the group and sat with some ppl on a big boulder, took my water and had to pour it over the back of my neck...I was still burning up. There was a Reiki master there and she tried to pull whatever it was on me, off. But she couldn't do it. Then for some reason I started to cry uncontrollably! Then in my mind I got the name Andrew and I felt everything he must have felt in the battle. I got a searing pain under my right shoulder that shot burning heat into my body and I saw him surrounded by dead and dying men. He was terrified and confused and kept asking why. I "saw" all this in my mind. I had them get the priest that was there and he anointed me with oil. It left a bit but then came back....so I had to be removed completely from the battlefield. After walking about town I knew he was still with me...so when I got back, Michelle Belanger did some cleansing for me and I felt soooo much better. Now, I just feel sad. It was a horrible experience. Not that he was trying to be harmful, but it was horrible to feel his sadness and pain. I'm thinking this is my first AND last trip to Gettyburg.
Tonite we were going to go to Sach's bridge, but we were told that they found a body today that had been there for what they think is at least 30-60 days. I was advised that since I was hit already once today, that a new death would get me even stronger. It's been a very strange day. I'm exhausted and drained and really need to sleep.

I wrote that on Saturday soon after the incident. If it wasn't for Michelle, I don't think I could have stayed on the trip. I know I'm sensitive, but I never thought I was THAT sensitive!! It really made a huge impression on me! Now, while I was there, I said that it was my first and last trip to Gettysburg, but now that I'm home.....weeeeelllll, I'm thinkin of going back....LOL Yeah, us ghost hunters are a bit nutz! But I have a need to know if I can make contact if I can center, ground, and shield myself from anything like that happening again. And this time I'll listen to my guides when they say NO!

I had the ummm pleasure? of seeing Annabelle....I do have pics too. The relics are very creepy, thats for sure! There was one there that totally creeped me out. So much so, that I didnt even take a pic of it!! Everything there were used by ppl in some shape or form. All I could think was....WTF were they thinkin????
Lorraine is actually a very lovely Lady, and she and her husband, Ed, did pave the way for paranormal investigation. I can't say I agree with everything she says, but that's her belief. Mine is way different. I guess after all the years she's been doing this, it works for her.....lol.

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD,

I agree with you. It is evil - hence my mixed feelings for Ed & Lorraine Warren. I think I would have to carry an industrial size water bottle filled to the brim with Holy Water and saturate everything in the museum. And leave a huge St. Benedictine Holy Medal on the most evil relics. It is like the Holocaust Museum in DC. I can only make it thru the first and part of the second level because it is so upsetting to me. I see the hair, and the shoes, and what they did on those poor souls as medical experiments. Horrible.

Remember that what you take with you from the museum, stays with you in that context. Evil = Evil. That is why in the Holocaust Museum there is the center where you can light a white candle and sit and think about what took place and why. :candle:

Now about Michelle...:tease: How was the seance?

As much as I don't agree with everything the Warren's did and Lorraine still does, they do take every precaution to keep ppl safe. Annabelle is behind glass, behind a desk and no one can go near it or touch it. She is confined forever. Plus, Lorraine will not open the doors until the entire room and its contents are blessed!
Since I'm not Christian, holy water and metals don't work for me, tho I did have to call Fr. Bob over to help when I had my experience and like I said, it did help for a short time. There are many facets to faith and whatever that faith is, is where you will be protected. I laughed after Fr. Bob put the oil on me and said to him, "Jesus must be saying, "you want me to help that one?" ...he said, trust me, he will help no matter your faith. I told him I knew that. I believe Jesus was a great Spiritual Healer and Leader, but my faith lies in Mother Earth and the Animal Spirits. This is why, I think, Michelle was able to help me the most. Plus I didn't do my own protection before entering the Battlefield. Not good!!

Michelle is MINE ALL MINE!!!! Muahahaha!!! LOL Dont I wish!! I didn't win the tickets to her seance, but we talked alot over the weekend. She's awesome! She has the most calming and glowing energy. Plus she's my savior!!

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD,

Yes, there are many many facets of faith. What works for one person may not work for someone else. It is a matter of what works for you. In the end that is all that matters.

I am glad to hear about Lorraine blessing the room before exposing it to the public.

Now you know and understand what I mean about being sensitive. It isn't just an emotion. It is a state of being.

I understood about being sensitive a looooong time ago...LOL. One of the reasons I started the paranormal group!

[Rockinonahigh]

I've been reading these post and wondering if I should add to them some of how I feel about gost spirits and such.One reason is I have been told by many not to say much if anything about my experences cause ppl will preceve me a more weired than I sould be insted of just haveing a better receptor on the liveing and ppl who have gone on to the light.I'm just very sensitive in certain places.It ranges from the negative side of reaction to the, wow look hear who im conecting with.sometimes its a fue seconds to full blown sighting.Most freak me out,some really dont.For sometime I have been at odds with a long time frien who knows about how these affect me but is really POD at me for not being hear when her husband and my long time freind passed away.I knew my friend was very ill and I was in contact with him but not anywhere near home when he passed..all anyone needed to do was call my house and give my son the message he would have gotten hold of me.Being I knew nothing of the events untill I got back and contacted my friends wife.Last christmas she called and we spent time talking ( they live in another City) we swaped cards (xmas).the crazy thing is she hasnt spoken to me sence.She has always been standoffish so I havent pushed it any.I figure its her prob but do miss out friendship of near 40 years.Obtw,I have called but I get the she's not home from who ever ansers the phone.

Well, I totally get the thing about people looking at you funny....LOL. I'm very free with talking about this subject so I think my friends are kinda used to my odd stories. I believe everyone has some sensitivity to the paranormal. Not just ghosts or spirits, but those lil "things" in the back of our heads that go, "scuse me, somethings wrong here". That's intuition, which is also part of the paranormal. It can't be proven or explained. In today's world, most of us have closed off that part of ourselves for fear of being ridiculed. The other problem is, the one's that fake it make it harder for those that don't!!! (grumbles at them for a second) Anywho, I, for one, would never pass judgment on something that someone says they feel. It's in different degrees in all of us. We just have to tap into it or leave it where it is. It's an individual choice to make. So feel free to share whatever you want here! I know I love to hear it and if someone doesn't they don't have to read it!

[Rockinonahigh]

Thanks I appresheate the offer to post some of the things I have had happen,and I will,Im just really tired at the moment.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Rockinonahigh,

I get called names all the time. Let them. They mock me for praying, let them. In the end, does it matter? Nope. Everyone has their own road to walk. Mine is very rocky. I have poor health. I always say if you have your healthy - then you are blessed. And those who do have it, don't even know it. Just be you. You are a gift from God. A treasure. Those here know that. Remember this...always.

Anyone want to share anything? :toypony:

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm trying to get the team together for some investigations! The weather is nicer and I'm itchin to get out there and investigate!

Anyone have any suggestions on the East Coast? I have a list, but I'm always looking for places I don't know about! Thanks!

Jaye

[hippieflowergirl]

it's not really the 'something' you were looking for Andrew....but my friend Eden is going to take me on my first ghost town trip ever sometime this summer! the place is called Bannack. i know it's 'elementary school' compared to stuff other people have done/experienced but i'm excited about it and since i'm not the receptive/psychic sort it's what i've got! (my life is pretty small...grocery shopping can be an event.) :cheesy:

[Miss Scarlett]

After dinner conversation last Sunday with my Dad, stepmother and stepsister was very interesting. My stepmother could not relate to us - from lack of experience or doubt or whatever.

Anyway, my parents are serious history geeks (something they passed along totheir kids) and Dad shared several stories about being at various battlefield/historic locations in the US and England and having experienced something he could not call "visions" - well here's a brief paraphrase: He was at Appomattox Courthouse, standing in the road that in April 1865 was lined on both sides by Union troops while the Confederate troops marched up the centre to surrender their weapons. Dad said this feeling like electricity shot through his feet and up his body, then he could "hear" the drums, the marching troops, the horses, someone saying "here they come", etc. He said it was all so familiar and he felt as though he had seen this all before.

Mom knew about this and saw it happen to him. Once they were somewhere (Tappan, NY I think) and Dad was taking a photo but froze and just stood there with the camera. Mom asked him if he was going to take the photo and his told he he couldn't just then. She asked him "Is it happening?" and he told her it was.

Pretty cool stuff. I'll post about my stepsister later - I need to get ready for work now.

[Sybelle]

Aka :Demons, Devil, Faeries, Incubes, ...



Description : These non human spirits are shape-shifters. In cases dealing with Ouija boards, black magic and satanic worship, they have been reported to disguise themselves as friendly and helpful human spirits. They can also appear as humans, animals or monsters (demons have usually two shapes : a monstrous and a human one)


Location : tend to appear only when summoned or in the vicinity of a cursed place

Theory : They are non-human originated ghosts and have the capacity to harm and alter our physical world.

So that you understand the below, I have been a spiritual Seeker/Walker for my entire adult life. Reading, learning and studying various religions. Also have been a member of a small working coven. Five years with this particular group.

A few years a go, I saw things manifest that only reinforced for me why people should not dabble. To this day, not exactly sure what the woman did, but the day that she did it, she was found several towns over wandering the streets, babbling. She was screaming that she was the "Lady of the Lake", appointed by the Pendragon. She was freeing people's dogs from their yards and running with bare, bleeding feet. She also wound up in the asylum for a while.

We cleaned up her messes, both physical and spiritual. She managed to invite something over that we didn't expect. I'll post more about that later. Have to get to work. :)

[Andrew, Jr.]

Jaye,

I would try the Eastern Shore. There are quite a few places you can find. Also there are numerous haunted houses in Baltimore City. You also want to research ships in the area. Some are falling apart now, and are now being taken apart before they disinagrate into the bay/ocean.

Hippieflowergirl,

You will have a ball at Bannack! I did that place a few years ago. It was really cool. I enjoyed it. :hangloose:

Miss Scarlett,

I am waiting for you to continue your stories! I love to listen to them. Btw, my brother has the same experiences as your Dad has. It really stops him in his tracks. And it is like he zones out, then comes back. :thud:

Welcome to Lady Flamezzz and Sybelle!

Don't invite spirits unless you know how to deal with them. It is so not worth it. Very good point.

Peace,
Andrew

[Princess4u]

I am confused, forgive me, I am not gifted as some of you are. But I have always been facinated by the paranormal. I was reading some of the postings between Andrew and GHD about the Warrens, so I googled them and found a ton of stuff. Why would someone want to make a museum of possessed objects for the public to visit? How can they keep ppl safe? If this doll is so evil, how can a glass box keep it from harming others? I am just confused and want to understand. I thought if something was possessed by evil then its powers are limitless. I am going to see if I can find anything about this doll but I would be very leary of going to see it in person, just because I dont know that its evil influence could "rub off" on me. I know this probably sounds crazy, but I was just curious about these ppl. Thank you for your posts, I do find this very facinating.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Let me try to explain this. Mr. Ed Warren was actually the one who started off seeing spirits as a youngster. He would see an elderly lady in his closet. As he grew older, more and more spirits would come to him (if that makes sense). Mrs. Lorraine Warren is a clarevoyant (sp??). She had this gift also as a young girl and it didn't make sense to her, but one day it clicked. Like putting together a puzzle. She was a teenager by the time everything made sense to her.

Alot of what is done goes back to the Roman Catholic Church, and the rituals and faith system from eons ago. For example, putting above your front door the house blessing that is renewed each Ephany.

The museum they have of relics from all over. It is the only one in the world like it. Lorraine Warren blesses the room before opening it up to the public. This is something that I also questioned Jaye about. And yes, she does do this. See when you see evil, it stays with you. That is the reason people sage their homes, cars, offices, and so on. It is a cleansing. The same as a using Holy Water, a Crusifix, and Bible when doing an exercism by a Priest.

I hope this helped explain it.

Andrew

[Laidbackgrly]

do you think people that have passed on can come to you in a dream? or is it just a dream?

[Miss Scarlett]

do you think people that have passed on can come to you in a dream? or is it just a dream?

Yes on both counts.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Yes, people who have died can come back to you in your dreams. I agree.

Remember, we are just passing thru in this life. :riding2:

[Miss Scarlett]

In 1984, about 2 months after my grandmother died I had a dream about her.

Before I tell about the dream here's the background: I had been her caretaker for the last 6 weeks of her life. She and I were soulmates; I even look like her. I am her only granddaughter and we were very close. This is my Dad's mother I am talking about. He was with her when she died; I was at home. When he arrived at the hospital she was already in distress and they were working on her. She greeted my Dad by asking where I was. (When she would get in distress at home I could talk her into a calm state and it would pass. I was her anchor.) I was ravaged by guilt to the point of despair for not being there for her. She died asking for me and I wasn't there for her.

Ok, back to the dream...my grandmother was laying on the sofa in the den and died in front of me. Immediately I started CPR and was doing this for a while when she grabbed my hands, opened her eyes and said to me "Let me go. There was nothing you could do. Please let me go." When I woke up the guilt and despair were gone.

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

do you think people that have passed on can come to you in a dream? or is it just a dream?

Hi Laidbackgrly
This is how all my relatives and spirit guides give me messages. It's strongest when I sleep. I tend not to believe it's real when I'm awake...LOL. I always have that doubt of "is it real or am I just thinking it?". I always have a writing pad next to me in case I get something that really stood out. I write it down and date it. Sometimes I dont understand what it means for a few days, so I can go back and read and make the connection.

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Ok, I'm gonna post some stuff I've been discussing with other paranormal peeps. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions! They are just thought provoking and interesting to learn how others see things. So no arguing! LOL

What's the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

What's an "orb"?

Do you believe cemeteries are haunted? and why?

Let's start there....have fun! I'll be back soon, I hope..LOL

I know this probably sounds crazy, but I was just curious about these ppl. Thank you for your posts, I do find this very facinating.

Princess, the Warren museum is open to the public so others can learn about the caution that should be taken about this subject. Her Nephew, John Zaffis, also has a museum like this as he is also a Demonologist. They also use these things to teach future Demonologists. The reason they are kept in glass is so no one can touch them. This particular doll, Annabelle, can still hurt ppl when provoked. They told us a story about a couple that came in. The guy was a biker that didnt believe in this "stuff"...so he said to the doll...if you have so much power...do something to me! Of course the girlfriend freaked out!! But he just laughed cuz nothing happened. That is until they were driving home on his bike. Yep, you guessed it, he was killed....she survived.
As far as "rubbing off" on you...you would have to invite it to do so. Evil thrives on fear...whether its spiritual or mortal. Your faith keeps you strong...whatever that faith may be. Those interested in this area who deal with these artifacts have a deep respect for their power but have an even deeper respect for the protection they receive from their higher power. And don't think you sound crazy...look at what we're talkin about here.....lol. No question is a stupid or crazy question!

What's the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

What's an "orb"?

Do you believe cemeteries are haunted? and why?

Let's start there....have fun! I'll be back soon, I hope..LOL



Ok, this I can do. First I want to state that these are my own opinions. That most of what I know and use has been not been taught to me. Much of it is information i simple "know". Somehow it has always been that way with me.

What's the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

The two terms are used so interchangeably that I know I do it myself. However, or the most part I would believe that a spirit is a presence that has returned to guide an individual for whatever reason, and a ghost is one that has been trapped and has not yet seen that beyond.

What is an "orb"?

An orb is a physical manifestation of an intelligent energy (ghost, spirit, whatever). One of the many forms taken to communicate a presence to the human eye.

Do you believe cemeteries are haunted? Why?

Yes. I absolutely believe that cemeteries are haunted. There is more then one reason for this, and some are more basic then others. First and foremost, I have experienced hauntings in cemeteries. Now, as to explanations for such things. The reasons that ghosts remain trapped here are varied. If that reason is specifically tied to their body, they may choose to stay close to it in hopes of resolution. Second, those left alive often choose to visit and remember individuals by visiting their graves. This action makes it easier or them to communicate to those left behind. When we are thinking about that person we are more likely to be susceptible to their desired message. I also believe that the religious ceremonies, no matter what religion, do indeed hold a power and energy and that spirits and ghosts are drawn to that energy.

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Nice! TY! And like I said...there's no right or wrong answers here. Just my own curiosity of others opinions. I love it!!! LOL

[Andrew, Jr.]

Q. What is the difference between a ghost and a spirit?
A. A ghost is a visable spirit of the dead. A spirit is the soul of the dead.

Q. What is an orb?
A. A spirit in my mind. It is all energy. That gives it the color.

Q. Do you believe cemetaries are haunted? Why?
A. Not all cemetaries are haunted. Most are. Military cemetaries I have found to be very haunted ( like Arlington). I also have discovered that the sections of cemetaries that have sections for policemen/women and firemen/women are also haunted. We live in layers or planes of reality/life. Those who have passed over have the ability to come and go as they please. I believe that once you pass over, you sign a "contract" with God. Until you fulfill your end of the bargin, you will come back (reincarnation). Our loved ones have the ability to watch over us. For me, when my loved ones died, I have no connection with them. It is too much for me to handle. That is when I have to rely on others for their gifts for comfort.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I was in a forum discussion about this. It is my own belief that once you die, all of your sins, lies, and so on will be revealed to everyone. That is why I always say to live your life like an open book. Let the world see you and your soul. Nobody is perfect. That is universal. Not everything is one-sided. The rhythm of life is being who and what you are. :bouquet:

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Well I did an investigation at a friend's house....in the attic...I hate attics....lol. Didn't hear anything for the EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) session. Still have to examine the video. I decided to leave the recorder running in the room under the attic all nite. I haven't listened to all 15 hours of it yet (yes, I have to listen to every last second), but16 minutes in, you can hear the latch on the door clicking and the door squeaking open. You know it's not us cuz you can hear us talking downstairs. The door was closed when we went to get the recorder. Can't wait to hear the rest!! I'll let you know if we caught something else!

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Forgot to mention. I saw a shadow person walking past the door. Saw this twice and taking the same route. So more then likely, that part is residual.

[Rockinonahigh]

I find it hard to go to grave yards,its to much for me to deal with,its like I feel so much energy its unsetling to my nerves and I get the jitters.So many of my famly members that have passed I dont go check on cause of the reaction..but I do have pictures of them up hear at home to remember them when they were hear..sometimes I dream about them and they seem very real.Lots of my dreams are disjointed of bits and peices of things..some ive never been to or I will dream something that makes no sence then sometimes later im in places that I havent been to and remember I drempt them before..sorta like dejavu..creepy.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Something that I find strange, is when I am visited by my Grandfather or Rosie is visited by her father, is we find loose change everywhere. And I mean everywhere. In the bathtub, on the deck on the table, in my humidor, and on each and every step in our house (inside and out). Very strange.

Now, I like to go to cemetaries. I find them peaceful, for the most part. There is one cemetary that I refuse to go back too. It was a S. Baptist Church from years ago that some satanic cult took over, including the graveyard. They destroyed the grave markers, and such. Now, the grass has overgrown most everything. It is sad looking today. The Church still stands, but the interior has been destroyed by anything Christain. The floor has the satanic markings, and the alter was ruined. The Baptismal Font was the first thing I am sure to go. Trash litters the graveyard, and nobody cares for it.

On another topic, I would like to know what Shadow People are. I have seen them but only in public, like at my previous job. They were dressed in black head to toe. I would only see them out of the corner of my eye. They would "slink" around corners of racks on the docks (I worked on a dock in a warehouse). I often wondered if these beings were trying to tell me something or communicate to me. Whenever I would look at them directly, they would disappear.

A shadow person is just that...a shadow with a human form. The one I saw was definitely human and was headed for the kitchen. The home owner didn't tell me about this until after I told her I saw it. I only saw it thru one crack of the door, but she has seen it travel the length of the hallway and into the kitchen. There are also shadows that you can catch out of the corner of your eye or just black blobs that can manifest.

[Lady Pamela]

DESCRIPTION

The Ace of Cups shows is a symbol of possibility in the area of deep feelings, intimacy, attunement, compassion and love. In readings, it shows that a seed of emotional awareness has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be an attraction, strong feeling, intuitive knowing, or sympathetic reaction. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event.

When you see this Ace, examine your life to see how its loving energy could work for you. This card often means that love is the essence of the situation. It may or may not be romantic love. Look for ways in which you can begin to connect with others. Do you have someone to forgive, or do you want to ask for forgiveness? Can you set aside your anger and find peace? Would you like to drop your reserve and let your feelings show? The Ace of Cups tells you that your time is coming.

This card also suggests inner attunement and spirituality. Cups are the suit of the heart, and the Ace stands for the direct knowing that comes from the heart. Trust what your feelings are telling you. Seek out ways to explore your consciousness and your connections with Spirit. Allow the power of your emotions to guide you in a new direction. Embrace the love that is the Ace of Cups.

A shadow person is just that...a shadow with a human form. The one I saw was definitely human and was headed for the kitchen. The home owner didn't tell me about this until after I told her I saw it. I only saw it thru one crack of the door, but she has seen it travel the length of the hallway and into the kitchen. There are also shadows that you can catch out of the corner of your eye or just black blobs that can manifest.

I see these all the time and not necessarily out of the corner of my eye. Sometimes I catch them in a mirror or other reflective surface; sometimes head on. The most vivid one was seen in the house I lived in after I started high school. (That was the house that had lots of stuff going on in it - the heavy footsteps upstairs that were just as loud after we put down the carpet; lights on in rooms no one had been in; finding closet & cabinet doors open; open windows; open drawers; dog freaking out and being afraid to go into a room; someone looking out an upstairs bedroom window when no one was home....) I was standing in the kitchen washing dishes one night and saw the reflected shadow of a man in a hat walk into the room and down the stairs towards the den - the same area the dog freaked out about a couple of times. When I turned I saw him for a split second before he vanished.

I know it must of been quite disconcerting at the time, but all I can say is COOL!! LOL A full apparition is the holy grail of paranormal investigators!

I know most of you here have had some kind of experience with the other worldly events, but if you just bought a house with every last penny you saved, and 6 mos later you find out its haunted, what would you do? :chasingzombie:

First of all I would make sure it isn't just impressions.
Second I would make sure I wasn't doing things to allow or create the happenings within it..which is easily done for some.
Third I would do a cleansing...If that is not helpful then,
Forth, I would call in a qualified group to cleanse and purge it of its contents,

There have been some houses that due to what has happened or where they are built..they hold much...in the event that all does not work..but usually it does....I would leave.

But you sunk your whole life savings into this and you have no means to leave.
The reason I ask this is because I am helping someone now who is at their wits end. She's very frightened. Has done all she can to try and cleanse the house, but it only proved to increase the activity. She has gone to a hotel with her dogs to get sleep on occasion.
I'm just curious as to what everyone else would do in the same situation.
Thank you for your response Lady Pamela!

The first thing I will tell you is fear allows things to manifest. When fear is present you actually open doors to create things without even realizing your doing it.

She needs to work on not allowing her fears to override her thoughts and emotions.
She can not rid something if she is always trying to fight it and fear it.

She needs to be stern but not provoke things..this is not only dangerious at times but it also keeps such things active.

She needs to simply believe that she is cleansing..her dought negates the cleaning process...understand?

M'Lady...I'm already helping her thru that...ty. Again, Im only asking what you guys would do if it was happening to you and all your money was put into this house.

[Lady Pamela]

Well she only has a couple options..one to put the house on the market or the other to stay and work it out.

I personally would stay and never allow anything to force me away. I would seek outter help as well as put myself into check...but some ppl are not able to do so.

I agree with Lady Pamela about fear. Your friend definitely needs to overcome this before she tries anything else with the house. Fear and negativity are as empowering to hauntings as they are to humans (think bullies).

GHD, is this haunting truly malevolent or just annoying? Is your friend's fear amplifying her perception?

I have been in a similar situation. A house I rented on the west coast of Scotland was haunted - actually the entire village was haunted. Since housing was at a premium there we were stuck. But having grown up in a haunted house I had some experience, understanding and a reasonable lack of fear though not caution. So I took the time to try to understand what our ghosts were all about and, just like back home, and we learned to live with each other.

I don't fear ghosts, spirits, etc., but I do respect them and am cautious until I understand what they are all about.

6 months later? Makes me wonder if her haunting came with the property or moved in after she did.

When I bought this house I must have looked at at least a dozen places,the real estate ppl must have thought I was nuts.I really wanted this old victorian house that had been empty for years..it had been tied up with family issues of some wanting to sell and some not.I finaly got to take a look at it,it was a beutiful place but in some rooms and a couple of places in the yard gave me a real bad case of the sweats and nausea so I passed on it ans several places for on reasoin or the other.This place was blank,nothing was in it..nor feelings,sounds, smells, zip nothing...clean as can be.So we did the deal with the bank then got the keys.While we were moveing in my son ask about all the pennys laying around on the floors,in the cabnets,in the washer and dryer ect.I said I had no idea..so he picked them up.Well by now we have just stoped picking them up cause they just keep poping back up one ot two hear and theire..then one night I was in the den on the puter and the door to the hall was wide open then slowly started closeing then stoped part way,I figure the door was out of balalnce so I put a level on it and it was true as can be.I have stood by the door with a candle to see if the ac or a draft could cause this..no way.One day it stsrted to close and I simply ask ....please dont do that...Id like it open.By now it dosent happen much anymore,but my fur kids sometimes look around the room like they see something but arent upset about it.What ever it is or came from I have no clue..or even if it is anything but my over active imaganation.

[Andrew, Jr.]

My home (the community) is built on top of a landfill. Prior to that it was a farmer's cattle yard. I am not sure of what was where years ago (slaughter house, main house, etc.). When photographs are taken by certain people you can see orbs, demonic figures in the background, and other strange things. In certain homes the owners will abandon their home never to return. Some people think the homes are haunted, or something is wrong structurally. In my neighborhood on one side of the street every home is filled with children, and none on the opposite side.

When my home was being built, I did certain things that the construction workers thought was odd, but I didn't. For example, I had it blessed, I use Holy Water all the time all over the yard, garden, and inside and outside. I buried a St. Joseph sideways because of my strong dislike of one neighbor who was abusing her children. She was caught by the law, and her children are now safe. Every year I write the House Blessing over my front door during Ephanie (sp??). It is amazing to me to see how evil passes over my home, and continues on down the line of homes. That is why I always tell people I don't wish evil on anyone but I also don't wish them well. I believe in Karma. I would rather be on the side of Karma than not.

I also believe in rituals. No matter one's faith, it all boils down to simple things. There is a saying by Og Mandino that I often use "Do All Things With Love." That is my motto in life and for living.

Hello Miss Scarlett. Just to explain, this isnt a friend. This is someone who follows my team on Twitter. She was calling out for help, but no one was answering her, so I jumped in. I asked her a bunch of questions that are pretty standard for paranormal investigators to ask. She's not being harmed at all. It seems the dogs are barking and howling at her bedroom closet door and when she opens it to check, they run out. She's found her dishes taken out of the cupboard, clothes removed from the drawer. What sent her over the edge was hearing a gun shot inside her room. Which I'm sure is pretty damn scary.
I'm very much aware of spirit attachment, people that can cause telekinesis to happen, or objects that may be haunted, etc. Since she is in Minn., I can't get to her, so I have contacted a team near her and they will be contacting her for an investigation.
The questions I ask here are usually based on things I run into in my travels just to get different points of view. As an investigator, I have to be prepared for just about anything, so I either keep up with different scenarios from other investigators, read more information about it, or go to my psychic buddies to get advice. I will not give clients or ppl asking for help a made up story or try to guess. If I dont know, I will redirect them to someone who does!
Thank you for sharing your story! :)

Honestly I doubt its your imagination if the door has somewhat ceased to move. Some spirits will listen if you're firm enough. Sometimes if its a child, they may just do it for a giggle...lol.

Andrew...since you're a christian, it would be good to bury a St. Benedict or St. Michael The Archangel medal at the 4 points of your house after doing a cleansing. This seems to work wonders for ppl. Also, after the cleansing...pour salt across your doorways and outside your windows. Just a suggestion! :vigil:

[Andrew, Jr.]

GHD,

I already have done what you posted. I use Kosher salt, and I have St. Michael by my front door. I thank my faith for this ritual of mine. Like my motto, I try to do all things with love. Some folks just don't understand that principle. One day I hope and pray that they do.

The one thing I find highly amusing is that people don't think Christains can be into the paranormal. I always say the Catholic religion was based on pretty basic paranormal stuff. Why is it that most Catholics wear silver medals? Hmmm. It isn't having other idols to worship. It is understanding life here as it is now. And giving respect to my faith.

I experienced something a few months back. It was about dusk. I was heading inside the house via the front door. Rosie had scutted all the furkids in, and was looking back at me to see if I was ok. I had just stopped in my tracks. And she saw what I saw as well as all of our furkids. It was a strange black mist swirling around from the front garden bed onto our front porch. No sooner than it hit the cement front porch is went right out to the steps, and went towards our neighbors house, and vanished.

I am not sure of what it was. Grymph thought it was a vortex of some sort. Rosie believes it is part of a hex that some have cast upon me, my home, my animals, and her. It left because of the Kosher salt, Holy Water, and the religious icons that are scattered all throughout the house. Now, you have to remember I use Holy Water pretty consistently. There isn't a spot that isn't sprayed with it. I believe in it. I always have. The same with lighting white candles and burning incense.

Now for my neighbor's house, she will find herself missing time, her electronics go on and off all day/night long. Her religious icons (read crusifix) falls off the wall all the time. She has a bathroom that she decorated with angels. The light stays off in the bathroom. It will not work. No matter what. It won't. Her clocks are battery operated. They never work. Never. Her electric fans, only 1 works. It is in the basement. That is it. None in any other room. She ended up moving. It was too much for her.

Well, I think that if it was part of a hex or curse directly on you and yours, it probably won't have gone over to your neighbors house. It sounds more like a free floating mass to me, which allows it to move around to annoy others...lol.
Now the vortex thing...I'm gonna have to ask around about this one! I don't believe they can move, but I may be wrong.....TY for the research I'll be doing now....LOL

[Andrew, Jr.]

I believe it is the burial cloth of Christ. Anyone else have any other ideas?

Yes Andrew.....the Shroud is allegedly the burial cloth of Christ. But supposedly the carbon tests done on it does not date back to the time of Christ. Others say it does....who knows! Always a debate....lol

I've really enjoyed reading the posts on this thread. :popcorn: Thanks for having this. I have had quite a few experiences in my life, being a nurse and then again with my nurse hat off and in my personal life.

It is nice to find people with like interests and read about the experiences.

thanks again!!!

I am at that stage in life once more... where I am finding it hard to doubt my abilities. I have to accept them. I don't think they scare me really. But, sometimes they overwhelm me.

The uncanny accuracy of what I can do is intimidating, even to myself. Its hard for one to believe that the voice they hear in their head, but not really in their head, is indeed the disembodied voice of a dead person. The voice of someones mother, sister, lover... and that they can and will give you details about their relationship with the person you are talking to, just to prove to them and you that this is real. A phrase that was shared, or a trip that they took. And that then, they will pass a message to that loved one through you. Even if the loved one doesn't want to hear it.

That is just one of my abilities, but tonight... its the one I am thinking on.

[Massive]

I've read through all the posts on this thread now, and I found them all fascinating, I am a psychic, I'm empathic and developing as a Medium and Healer through the help of my friends in the paranormal investigation team I am in.
I've had many different kinds of encounters with Spirit, some scary, some that just made me smile, I'll get around to mentioning those at a later date, today I'm busy trying to get other work done.
I am most definately a believer, I've seen too much, heard too much and experienced far too many things that can't be explained away through science, for instance, every time I get a photograph taken in a photo booth, I am almost always obscured by orbs!
Anyway, I just wanted to pop my head in and say hiya, didn't really mean to ramble on quite so much!

jenn, you have a gift that others may not understand. And for the most part, those of us that receive messages don't understand! I've had more things hidden away for so long, but now I can finally use what I know and have learned. I'm thankful that I can see beyond what is on this plane, tho I do understand how overwhelming it can be. Don't doubt yourself, just feel it, embrace it, and let it be part of what makes you, you.

After reading all the posts here I feel comfortable to talk about my gift without feeling too embarressed or judged that I am nuts...lol.....

I have a gift of colors, well, that is what I call it. When I was around six, me and my mom were shopping at Penny's and I started seeing colors around a man that was there. Mom said I freaked out and was pointing and crying and was very shaken up. I do remember mom explaining to me that my grandma had the gift of "colors" and she used to talk about people that she could tell were sick or going to be hurt in some way along with other things that had happened to them or were about to.

I've lived with this for 40 years and haven't really took time to understand it all that much. I naturally see colors on about one of of six people. I don't see them with everyone, but I have found, on those I don't see the colors, that if i concentrate really hard, I do see them on just about anyone. But, with seeing the "colors" I find that I am also intuitive with spirits that are around me as well. I sometimes see spirits that others don't....I can hear them occasionally. Once I took a hand held tape recorder and was asking questions like they do on "ghost hunters" and was answered with a deep dark man's voice when I asked "do you hear me"...the answer was "yes, of course". I haven't used that recorder sense, it honestly scared the life out of me. That was about 4 years ago.

I have done a small amount of research on this, and as I've read here, the more you dig and explore in the spirit world, the more you invite the spirits to communicate. I suppose I have just tried to not dig to deeply for an honest fear of what may be invited to communicate. Chicken? yeah I guess so. However, very interested and hopefully getting to a place in my life where I want to communicate more. But, not without education on this and doing it with my eyes open as to what may happen.

Anyone else see "colors" which I know now as Aura's? I have researched some of this and know now that the different auras mean different things.....green means peace, brown and dark yellow is saddness and deep red is sickness...but a lot of the other colors I'm not sure about. I tend to see a lot of orange.

Thanks for listening and giving me a place to feel safe about discussing these things...means a lot to me.

Hi there belle! Congrats on your gift!!! And you're far from nuts! Reading ppls aura's is an amazing thing to me! I've heard about it but I haven't delved deeply into it since I've been trying to hone my own gift. I'm sure you can find books on Amazon about it. I will see if I can get hold of Chip Coffey and ask him the name of the person he had on Psychic Kids that helped with auras. If I find out, I will send you her name.

If you want to do EVP work with your recorder, the best thing for you to do is to cleanse yourself and announce out loud that you are only inviting spirits of the light. I do this with Ouija board sessions also. The deep voices may sound dark, but it could just be the low tones coming thru. It is quite a shock when you hear something for the first time. Took me ages to finally start to listen to EVPs....lol. Now I love em! Totally fascinating!

Good luck on your continued journey! :clap:

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hi Princess Belle,

You are not nuts. Oh please. Stop right there and leave that thought at the door. You are very much loved. :cheerleader:

We all know about this. It is reading other people's aura's. It is a wonderful gift! I don't have this gift. My Grandmother did, and one of my sister's has it. My Grandmother spoke often about what others colors meant, just like you stated in your post. It just brought her right back to me re-reading your post.

There is a man, I can't remember his name right now, but he could see objects, and material things as letters or numbers, and each one was a specific color. As he aged, so did his gift. He could see people inside and out. For example, it was like his eyes were x-ray machines or Cat Scans. He could look at a pizza delivery guy, and tell him that in 25 years he would be sick with lung cancer. Then someone's nephew playing football in the backyard he could look at and see that he was going to suffer from some disease that medicine had no clue about how to cure as of yet. His gift had to develop and grow with his human body. :riding2:

Just remember, you are not a wacko or mentally ill or anything of the sort. You are a gift from God. A treasure. And we all here value you, and your gifts and talents.

Wow Ghost Huntin Daddy and Andrew, Jr., thank you so much for the warm welcome and the wonderful acceptance of me posting here.

Ghost Huntin Daddy, thank you for the resources sent my way and I will for sure look those up. Any and all help is very appreciated. I feel very blessed in this phase of my life that I actually may have something at least a little "special" and I do want to learn how to use this in a positive way. Also, thank you for the explaination of how to invite only the spirits of the light. When I get the nerve, I do plan on doing more EVP work. It seems to be an easy way to reach the other side and seems to be somewhat easy for them to communicate back as well. When I was answered "yes, of course" to my question of "do you hear me"...it was deep and felt quite dark, but at the same time was said so matter of fact. Almost as if he was saying...are ya dumb? I'm standing right here, of course i hear you...lol. Well, that's what it sounded like anyway.

Andrew.....what a blessing that your Grandmother had this!! I read in a book on auras and spirits years ago and I remember it saying that people that see auras have come from a single family from Sweeden hundreds of years ago and they were all blessed with this from a saint that had told them it was a gift to be handed down through the generations. If that is true, then me and your Grandmother must be kin!!! So, you are now my adopted cousin LOL. Thanks for your welcome!!!!

[Andrew, Jr.]

Princess Belle,

Thank you - I would love to have you as a cousin! :rockband:

Please post more about your gift. I would love to read about it! My Grandmother was just a gem. I miss her tremendously. She is the one who told me about her near death experiences (out of body), the other side, spirits, and other things. She and I were very very close. She never discussed this with anyone, but me. I was the only one open minded enough to handle it. My sister was open minded, but not to the extent I was. Her gift scared her way too much.

The Great Awakening!

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Ok, you want connections, lets talk. How about this. In the past two weeks... besides energy spikes and increased contact, all of which I have felt, the children and adults in the school I work at are acting out of sorts. One staff member I was talking to said it was as if they had the end of school gitters 3 weeks earlier then normal. There are fights breaking out, staff members are already counting down the number of days remaining till they have no more students. AND.... THEN.... were you aware that the flowers are blooming too early here. By the beginning of May all of the bulb flowers such as tulips and daffodils that usually decorate the country side this time of year have bloomed out. The entire balance seems to be off.

I agree with the whole out of balance stuff as well. The dogwoods here in east Tennessee are HUGE. I've never seen their flowers so big, it's almost scary looking. My snowball bush's blooms are almost the size of basketballs. I've never seen anything like it. Everything is beautiful, but it's just a bit odd to me. I have felt more spirit activity around as well. As a matter of fact that is why I searched out this thread, I'm feeling like I'm being more drawn to this than ever before.

What gives?

[Rockinonahigh]

Yes,things are a lot off lately.The whole energy thing feels raw,not a cosistant smooth flow.I have had some crazy dreams lately about ppl who have passed like my aunts and uncles who were very much in my corner..all is well with them but they tell me..this is where I made my mistakes be careful,my mom who was not happy with me for not being productive ( working yet).Some things were me protecting mom from horse related danger..we were chased into acorner with a rearing horse tearig the fence down trying to get to us.Makes no sence cause I havent been near a horse for ten years and she hated them..really weired.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Well, the weather is nasty down south, and beautiful in the north. We have a major oil spill that is slowly killing animals in the Gulf. Greece is having major protests & violence over new gov't cutbacks. Then we had a major terrorist threat that failed in NYC. The Arizonia law - what crap. Something is up.

In my life, Rosie's stepfather just had emergency pacemaker surgery today. Her mother is having more brain surgery in June. And her sister is sick with cancer. Plus my health is on the decline.

Something is changing but not forward, backwards. The universe is not happy at all. Mother Nature is disturbed in a big way. We are on the wrong track. The outcomes are so severe. People are suffering. Not just one group, but quite a few groups.

I am sensing quite a bit lately. It is a sense of protection from my guardian angel (a Native American Indian). I am very well aware of a lack of security.

[Rockinonahigh]

Brother u r right..u cant mess with mother nature without dire pay backs.Sorry u r haveing such problems in life,hopefully things will change soon.Imho,if ppl would go back to a more natchural way of life things in the universe will right them selves.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Rockinonahigh,

I believe in living a simplier life the better (for me atleast). Thanks for the love and support. I sure do need it.

Namaste,
Andrew

[Rockinonahigh]

For me I keep it simple,stress free as possable but stil get things done for the most part.I have friends who I count as family but they are big into drama and stress,so we see each other spareingly and call once a week or so.Both are on anxiety meds,one is mpd as well as just plane unable to walk away from ppl who add to it all..they have to get something out of it but for me I dont see how.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Rockinonahigh,

You and I are very similar. Low drama, low stress. It keeps my sugars down (since I'm diabetic), and everything else in check. At one point I was on insulin shots, and got myself on the pills. Now I am trying to get myself off the pills. It is a struggle, but I know I can do it. I try to find joy in everything and in everyone. However, some folks just seek out attention. I try to turn my cheek and show everyone love. However, some people have idiotic notions in their head. I am both Christain and Buddist.

Andrew
Im more spritual than religious but do beleave in a higher power how ever one choses to call it.Someone called me a hippy pegan once,tho I have always beliaved in the power of mother earth can resolve our troubles if we would just pay anttion to what she is saying.Last night I sat out in he back yard and just looked at the strars and the moon..very peacefull.

Andrew, another thing we have in common....my guardian is also a Native American, his name is Malcolm and I've sensed him in my life multiple times since as far back as I can remember. I also have another guardian that I saw when I actually died once in an auto accident. He was kind and had long brown hair but didn't tell me his name. Good luck with your blood sugars and if you have went from taking insulin to the oral hyperglycemic meds you are doing fantastic!!!!

Rockin, I agree and have found ways of keeping very stressful, drama filled people out of my life. There are still those in my family that I have to still communicate with, but have definately cut down on the amount of energy I let them consume from me. Also, about your dream.....I have had quite a few dreams about being chased. In those times, now that I look back...I was unsettled and was trying to find answers to situations in my life that I had no control over... Just my .2...

Have a safe, comfortable spiritual day all.

[Rockinonahigh]

Ive always wonderd about dreams,some seam so real its scary,some just really stupid and funny.I was told they are just fragmented peices of what u have seen,done or herd about.At times mine are like mesages if I think about them and figure them out as best I can.The ones that use to spook me were the times I dream somethig that never happened then days or months later im in that sistuation,like deja vou.
The thing thats been on my mind lately had been finding some sort of job so I can have som extra cash to save as well as a bit for things I want to do.I found out from softness about a job training program thats for ppl over 55 to 65 who are disabled.This program trains ppl for work with non profits and the way its set up is they dont take any out of ur disablity check,wich is a plus cause if I go back to work on the work ticket im on they will take half of my check.They take .50 cents out of every dollar I make from my ssi check so if I made minimum my hours work is only worth 3.50 cents..not really worth it to lose so much of my pay trying to play catchup.I did sigh up for the program and am waithing to start.

[Ghost Huntin' Daddy]

Rockin....I get a lot of my messages thru my dreams, usually from passed family members or friends. I can tell the difference between a message and one of those odd ones...lol. This took me a very long time. Now I keep a pad and pen by my bed and write down anything I remember. This is the best way to track what would be a message or not.

[Rockinonahigh]

GH,love the gost toons,real cute.Last nightI had ppl hear for coffee by time they left I was so mentaly drained that I still feel tired sorta like light vertago.I met these folks at a pflag meeting so I had them over for coffee and added another friend to come as well.As nice as they were and may well be really nice ppl...I got some really weird vibes from them,felt life they wereent really as nice as they seemed to be,could haven nerves or what ever but was strange just the same.Could have been mucury in retro messing with my head.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Rockinonahigh,

Sometimes I get vibes from other ppl that are right on, and sometimes are wrong. You are not alone in that. I love sitting out on my deck at night, and watching the stars and planets at night. It is so relaxing for me. I love that part of my day. I smoke a good cigar and drink a cup of coffee. Then I watch the stars, and listen to nature. The frogs, crickets...it is so calming to me.

GHD,

Did you figure out or find any direction in the black mist vortex I witnessed? The dreams you have (was this you or Rockin?) can be a message from the other side. Just write down what you remember. Keep a notebook next to your bed and write down what you remember. In time, it will come to you what it means.

Princess,

I agree with you about the draining people in life. I have no idea of who is or isn't. It is like I have no compass on who is honest or not online. In real time I am a pretty good judge of character. Online I struggle with communication. It isn't my best suit. I always use the example of trolls or negative people. They just drain me of my energy and my being & spirit.

I cannot remember my Native American Indian's name. I know it, but his name just escapes me. I wish I could remember.
