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

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...

hi !
 

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~

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.

:artist:

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?

Everyone who believes in parapsychology, raise MY hand.

(sorry, just couldn't help myself!)

Animals have souls. They are all around us.

Spirits are all around us. Most definitely.

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....

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

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!

spirits and ghost and poltergeist descriptors of...
 

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.

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.

demons anyone
 

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.

battle fields are a good source of repeat apparitions as well
 

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.

the posts below lend to identify what some of you may be seeing...as you can see there are many different types of < things that go bump in the night, so to speak>...not everything is a spirit or a ghost.
Incubus and succubus feed off fear and sexual energies of people and can be severe in their efforts to do so. Sometimes difficult to be rid of.

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!

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.....

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

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 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.

Hey Andrew and everyone--

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

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....

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:
