my sister said one day when we were like 18 and 19 that she seen like an old fashioned girl, like a prairie girl, sit up out of my body, she seen it while i was sleeping. she would deny it now if asked, anything scary like that from our past she denies. we had just moved in to this house and it was by a whole lot of wooded area, where one could imagine being a settling area. she also seen flying windchimes and some other stuff that night, so i don't know what she was on. my brother and her at another point in that house both saw a flying saucer over the pond in the back yard. she denies this happened too, but my brother insists it was there. there was alot of weird stuff that happened there, it was supposedly haunted by the previous owner and a few others. the house was creepy to drive up to at night, you got a feeling of dread driving up there.:uhoh21:
according to the info I received, those buildings were new housing units that burned. The old place is still standing.:uhoh3:

They were the old buildings being renovated into condo units that burned. They were doing a really great job from what I hear.

Yup, its totally normal, consider yourself lucky that you are among the few to be that open to allow these visions to come. they can provide very useful insight into where you are in your life now. Ive had stuff through dreams and strong feelings of deja-vu in certain new places that Ive always been drawn too . Realized the pull was because of previous lives. Of course many may not believe this, and thats fine. Everyone has their own belief. This is mine. There is actually a working psychiatrist that has wrote a book on past lives that he happened upon accidently with his client. He now does past life regression full time and helps many people. He never believed it before he had the experience. forgot his name though , hes in Florida now, when I remember it I will post it.

I want to hear about the family pets. I lost a dog recently and still grieving. Let's hear about yours.

me too-the pets thing. Please. I also will tell about my dad's passing soon. It was last month. It, too, was just not him when I walked in that night:o. His last day...just not him...I will go into it much more. But his last words 24 hours before he died, "Goodbye." "What was that? What did you say?" "bye."

For those who don't believe in ghosts and the spirits of the dead being able to communicate with and appear to those on Earth you are wrong

He has taken me back in time in what appears to be a High Quality Technicolor Movie and given me all the details before and after the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy who as we know was Assassinated on November 22, 1963.

I have posted some of these stories on http://www.psychic-experiences.com

Sorry no offence....are you a nurse?? Or are you one of those psychic ppl trying to promote here??

Specializes in Med/Surg, Psych..
I am not a nurse, nor am I here to promote myself for financial gain, I am just here to share some of my experiences as a Channel for Spirit hoping it will be helpful to those who are interested.

I found a link to the website on http://www.ghost-mysteries.com and the one who posted it and others who wrote there said what an interesting site it is, and I feel others like me will visit.

After reading some of the posts made by others I thought it would be good to share some of my Experiences because I can see some of you do believe, and I wanted to tell you some of the things I have learned.

Thank you for clearifying it....some of the statements that you made are just too hard to beleive.....it must be quite an unusual feeling to have when you are able to experience all the things that you said....its amazing:)

24 hours later at my moms with all my brothers there I was in the bathroom (bros in the house, not in the BR) Anyway I hear this "Hullo!"...I thought wow I know my bro must be in the basement cuz it came from that area (my dad's study)...and boy it was clear as day...I HEARD it, and I thought wow which one of my brothers sounds so much like my dad? I go out to head downstairs to see, to tell them they sound just like him...thinking it might comfort him....Then I hear the TV and instead of going into the basement go into the living room...All my bros were sitting there. "Who just came up from the basement?" They looked at me like I was crazy. "We have been here for a long time going through pix of dad, so no one." "Well who just said Hello?" I had thought one of them went into the basement to talk to their wives on their cell phones (they were verrry preggers and unable to be their yet-one actually gave birth 12 hours before the funeral-wow)...anyway... I guess that was out -the cell phone thing....So I thought well why would they have a reason to even say 'hello' sitting here talking. It wasn't a sarcastic Hellllloooo! and they wouldnt say that--and they said they hadn't been talking for a while just looking at pix. ANYWAY...it had to have been my dad///His last words had been goodbye and he knew I felt guilty for leaving those hours before he died, I think he was trying to say...."I was wrong...it wasn't goodbye...I am still around and up here I am very much 'alive'." I know it is kooky but it was JUST like his intonation and it obviously wasn't my brothers--he had a very different way of saying hello...more like Huhlow. He had told me a long time ago, after his grma died. He woke up in the middle of the night and she was there talking to him. He dismissed it as a dream....but now I am not so sure....And I think now he must know it wasn't a dream...very comforting...huh?;)

I personally don't believe anyone can enter someone else's body as a "possessing spirit" to do unfinished business, or for any other reason.

let me start off by saying i think people have the gift of a sixth sence. depending on you and your genetics and up bringing i think it can be stronger or weaker. i belive in ghosts and something more once our souls leave our bodies. i belive we can make a good differance in peoples lives be it good or bad. i do not belive a ghost can possess a living person. i think these beings are evil. if you feel that a sprit is possessing you i would say talk to a preist or rabbi or someone of your faith who can help you to find the light and help you to tell these beings you are not going to be used by them anymore. they lie and come in the form of something innocent and soon they will have you under their control. it sounds like they have a pretty strong hold already. please talk to someone who can help you.

as for spirits of loved ones or pets visiting. you can usually tell if its them. you get a sence of their presence thats how you know its really them and not something else. if they come to you and you dont know them they may very well be spirits. if they posses your body thats another matter. the movie ghost is in accuarate n that regard. the sixth sence is closer to fact.

I got called to a code in the hallway. A patient was being transfered from the ER to the floor. She passed away in the hall. According to the tech, they were carrying on a conversation, the lady looked up, said " Oh, here comes God, I think I will go with him." She passed away right then.

Man, that's how I want to go!
