hello everyone,

I've had quite a few experiences with loved ones who have died.  The most recent was from my Boyfriend of 3 years who hung himself, one year ago in November.  He has came to visit me 6 times right after his death to let me know that there was more to the story, which a year later was exactly what the truth, right after his death i seen these "visions" which included him and his brother and two other people, which at first scared me, and then confused me because i didn't understand what they were, well as about three months later after his death I found out that everything that he hade shown me in these "visions" where exactly what had happened and thing that he had done on the day he hung himself, well this freaked me out and I went and seen this lady psycic that i had seen probably 5 years earlier who freaked me out because everything that she had said was true or months down the road came true.  Well i had barely sat down when she layed out my whole delema of my boyfriends "so called" suicide exactly has my boyfriend had shown me, Good god talk about freaking somebody out, well i don't know, but you tell me I know one thing for sure and that is that i know it sure wasn't coincidence that she knew everything, when i hadn't even said anything except hello, and now and then every once in a while i have very real dreams of him where i can touch him and smell him, also I will catch a glimps of him out of the corner of my eye, but when i turn around there is no one there, but i can feel him there.  I feel very fortunate to be able to have these experiences, but sure hope that i'm  not losing my marbles, because i think that some people think that i may be or may have slipped a cog!!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK THANK YOU LISA JO

Hi...New here..I was just wandering around and saw this group and just *had* to check it out...My brother died 2 yrs ago and I believe he has tried to communicate with me and other family members on several occasions....mostly thru dreams but in other ways as well...hopefully I can share some of those experiences with everyone here....Hope you don't mind if I just hang out and read for awhile....

Thank you and Bright Blessings...

Lisa Jo: Hello and you are NOT losing your marbles, in fact you have been given very special ones in your cognitive construct that allows for you to surpass the restrictions of ego and see the gifts of spirit. I am very sorry to hear about your boyfriend but his energy that was housed in his physical body is with you everyday. I am not so sure though, that this energy wants you to do some revenge-act in malicious declaration of him being maybe, murdered. Consult your inner voice on that one, really communicate from the soul with your b/f and grieve with the least amount of residual anger as possible. I know it is hard, I lost a boyfriend many years ago to a jealous vindictive act, he was just on a motorcycle, she was in a car. Her car struck him, he dies two hours later. Three days a car strikes her and she dies three days later . . . thankfully I never see the energy that was housed in her physical form. Just his and it is still beautiful as I remember.

Erica....How he communicated with me the firsst time:...well...the very first communication with him was right after he died..when I went home for his funeral. I was sleeping..or trying to..the night before his funeral~ this was about 2 days after he passed~ I dreamed of a desert...windy and dust blowing everywhere..the ground was cracked and very dry...my family stood with me to one side and way across the parched ground to the other side my brother stood. It was hard to see him but he was there...the dust blowing around him....he waved at me and I started screaming out his name over and over and yelling to him to COME HERE! "HURRY" because the distance between us seemed to be getting greater. I was very frantic...screaming and crying...and just as I was getting very hysterical I heard a LOUD crash...I sat up in bed wide awake and the lamp ontop of the desk table in the room I was sleeping in had fallen and was vibrating VERY loudly on its side....It vibrated for about a minute as I watched it...then I ran downstairs to tell my sister what had happened. The funny thing about it was...the lamp had been screwed onto the desk and after my brother-in-law looked at it he was amazed it had moved...he claimed there was no way that could have happened but there it was laying on its side on the table.... Later when my sister and I talked about it she suggested perhaps our brother was trying to wake me from the frantic dream I was having about him....anyways...that was only the first of many things that have happened since he died...

Peace and Love~

From the age of about 5 I have experienced many different 'energies' about me, in different forms. The first experience was with my brother one Christmas Eve. We were sneaking out to see what Santa brought us and peeked into my parents room where we saw two beautiful 'angels' on wither side of the bed. One told us to go back to bed. We did in a heartbeat. We both described them the next morning.

I am an atheist, but I do believe in peoples energy remaining after death. Some call it a soul. I don't know. I can't explain the angels. And I have never seen that form of energy again. I have seen many ghosts, if you will. Some were quite visible, others just forms. They have never really frightened me, although some weren't very pleasant.  My grandfather visited my grandmother regularly after his death. The dogs could tell when he was 'there' as well. The last time he visited he told her that she was ok now and he wouldn't return. And she was ok.

Many people in my family have different extrasensory abilities. But as far as I know, only my brother and I have seen the energies. That same brother saw the other brother who saw the angels after he died.

Interesting stuff. Does anyone else have any explanations for energies?

My son hung himself in 1999 at the age of 25. as far as i know, i have not heard nor sensed him. i keep hoping and trying to find some way to know if he is ok and has at last found some love and peace that he so richly deserves.

he was a good son. i have a tribute to him connected to my site.

I have spoken many times with "the dead people". There is not the definite death. 

This happened about 4-5 years ago. At the time I was paralysed. My family had rejected me out because I was so ill and poor. My grandfather died when my "socalled" father was 4 years old.

As a child I had seen this grandfather many times. My cousin gave me a special photo of him. Through this photo he has spoken to me a couple of times.

He said:  I know that you have been hurted very badly, because I have walked with you already so long time. I speak to you now exatly the way you have been used to. You my friend even you are so week about your healthy, your spiritual powers are carrieng you over all of it.

My son Aimo has lost his way; he has not remembered his spiritual principles ja because of that he has to get the letter which was already written.

I: who wrote the letter?

He: You Jasmin when you thought about me, we wrote it together.

I: So I thought.

He: The picture tells him things which you dont know.

Here is the letter, but I never sent it.

I send you here the photo of your father and  repeat his words.

"My son,  don't ever forget the Integrality because it is now and It will always be. "

Your father said too:"You know the truth which is specified by this photo with that understanding ja experience of the scool of life which only you are going to have through me."

I have two of those pictures and he wanted me to send the other one.

Hi. New here but fascinated to find so many topics that interest me. Life after death has always been something I have searched into, since I was a child. I am sensitive to the paranormal and apparitions, fascinated and at times terrified when they appear. When I feel their presence I say hello and ask them to communicate with me, but have not received an answer so far. I then tell them they have passed on, bless them and suggest they go to the light, in case they are "stuck" on this plane.

I was very close to my parents who passed on due to cancer 4 and 5 years ago. At times I miss them terribly, and continue to go through the grief process, allowing the good memories and tears to come up. Soon after my father passed on I attended a conference in Naramata, B.C. and a medium who spoke with people on the other side shared his experiences. I asked him why my parents haven't appeared to me, since we were so close and spiritual. He said he could see two streams of brilliant white light flowing into the crown of my head, and that they were sending their good energy. Apparently it takes awhile to get used to being in spirit state and they were still "unpacking their bags" as such.

Lately, I can feel their presence just like when someone walks into a room behind you. You don't see them but sense they are there. They have been appearing to me in my dreams more and more as well, and I feel so happy and content when I awake from a wonderful visit. Often I meet them at a restaurant, feeling excited to see them sitting there as I walk up to the table. We have tea and dessert, and the love we share is like a healing balm. I don't remember what we talk about, and hope to focus in on that better next time. But perhaps just being together again, feeling loved, is the message they are bringing.

Their house number was 33, and, even though I am ridiculed by others for thinking this way, when that number appears in a variety of places, I feel they are close, giving me strength and encouragement. On a recent trip to Vancouver Island my daughter and I noticed the number 54 times as we drove to our destination, on billboards, license plates, houses, logs, even written on the road at the exact spot where we stopped for a break.

Another form of communication came through the lights recently. I finally made the decision to sell their home which they had built and were very attached to. It was our last evening in the house, as we worked at hauling out 40 years of accumulated treasures, when a light bulb flickered continually. I spoke to them, saying I couldn't afford to hold onto the house any longer and they had to let it go, too, as it was up for sale. That light blew out. Then the carport light blew while I was under it. I tried to put in a new bulb but it wouldn't light, so after 3 bulbs, I decided to leave it for later. Meantime, in the house several other bulbs had blown out, totaling 8 in all before it stopped. The next day I replaced the carport lightbulb and that time it worked fine. I had heard spirits can come through electricity, and this incident verified it for me.

My mother's humorous saying was, "No one is getting out of this alive", meaning life. It is such a comfort to feel they are close by and we will meet again when my mission here is completed.

my mother also passed away from cancer. it has been 20 years but i, too, at times always relive the last few days of her life when that week comes around.  funny, her birthday is dec 26th, but i never feel as 'low' as i do when it is her 'death week'.....for reasons i forget now, my mother would ring my phone once and my sisters phone twice and we would call her back.  she passed away 12:50 am (officially) and later that morning, i was standing near the kitchen counter a few feet from the phone when it rang.  only once, by the time i picked it up.  no one was there.  later, talking to my sister, she said her phone rang twice and no one was on.  when we compared notes, the calls were approximately the same time. for such a long time, months, i kept having this dream that i was at different places, a marketplace, in a car, in a house and the phone would ring. i would pick up the phone and knew it was my mother trying to get through to me.  however, when i tried to talk to her, ask her if she was happy, this growling noise would always cut us off.  it was like we weren't to speak to each other and this growling noise would stop us.  also, if i was in a car (in the dream) i would suddenly be outside the car, and the car was chasing me down.  if i was crossing a bridge, the one with the 'holes' that you could see the water underneath, the bridge would open and i would be falling into the water. but, i would always be holding onto the phone and wouldn't let go.  i have no idea what those dreams were supposed to tell me, or what they were about. i guess i dreamed  it because of the system we would have while she was alive.  and the growling and constant peril i got into was just to let me know, i couldn't talk to her.  i don't know.  what was strange, while we were at the hospital waiting around, the 8 - 10 of us were all in our little world.  it was dark and rainy and i was looking out the window in a daze, not thinking of anything and i heard  her call my name. i 'came to' and slowly looked around the room to all my relatives. they were all in deep thought. none of them had called me.  i knew it was her saying good bye.  on two occasions, while i was watching tv, i was overcome with this powerful smell of emerade perfume. it also felt like it was being sprayed on my body. i could feel it and smell it.  it was my mothers perfume.  i could feel her presence sometimes, and one time i had told her i'd be going to a tarot card reader, if she would come.  the day i went, i could actually feel her there while i was waiting my turn.  one day, riding in my car, i could feel her with me and had a little talk. i told her that ther children were all grown up and could take care of themselves.  i told her she could go to the light and be happy and not worry about us.  i think she heard me and listen.  i don't feel her presence as much or as strong.  once in a while i think she may be around, but keeping her with me would have been selfish on my part.  knowing what her life was like, she deserved to be happy and not 'being with me' because i wanted it that way.  i look up at my ceiling and talk to her now.  after 20 years, i am still comforting myself.

Hi Everyone.

My Father has passed a few years ago now.  The first time he spoke to me was DADA.  I heard it plain as day light.  I now communicate with him through meditation, and of course table tipping.  He always loved trains and the first time he came throught he led me with the table to a case of tootsie toys my husband collects.  I was in the Spare bed room and he had taken me right to the living room, where my husband keeps the case and there they were a row of trains.  That was my Dad. Another time he came through the table was when my sisiter was with me and she is into alot of Math, so was my father.  I love Einstein, for my Father to let us know who he was, he led us straight to the Einstein picture on my wall, to let my sister know it was him.  Anyway.  I have more stories. but I will leave it at this.  Thanks for reading.

In a dream . .

I watched in horror as they dragged his body towards me holding him under his arms, face up, his boots scraping the ground . .

My son Jesse had been killed by an 82 year old woman driving a van when she turned into her driveway in front of him. The bike hit the front corner of the truck, I prefer to think it was instantaneous . . he had been 20 years old for just three months, he had a buyer for his motorcycle and took a last ride down the street and back before the new owner was to leave with it.

To make a long story short, it was on the night of his cremation, I went to bed, the last thing I remember was feeling that I would never get another hug . . in the dream, they laid him on his back in the grass in front of me, I didn't understand how it could be that he looked fine, like if he was just asleep when his eyes opened with a big smile, he jumped up and gave me a big hug.

I asked him how could you do this?  . . He said, "I didn't".

This all happened in a clearing in the woods, I didn't see Jesse after that, instead, it was like a party. A lot of people who were his freinds were there, some of them knew me and would stop by to talk. I told each and every one of them the same thing over and over, "this is not real you know" . . .

They all had the same look of concern on their faces when I said that, shaking their heads with a look of 'poor man, just doesn't get it'.  Now that I have had years to think about it, this happened in 2000, I believe that I was actually invited to see him cross over.

I had a NDE myself in 1985 when I wrapped my car around a tree, literally. I must have a friend in a high place.

I have had three more 'invitations' since . .

"didn't see him" 

$50 dollar fine for murder 

Impaired vision, can't see, still OK to drive in Ohio

Why would the spirit of someone who I loved long ago wait until 20 years after he died to make contact with me?  I have felt him, and felt his words.  His last words to me were for me to take care of myself.  I start to cry when I feel him around me. 

Any ideas, anyone?

I joined this group to feel good in the fact that there are others who share my thoughts, but sometimes I question myself.

I lost many members of my family in a very short period of time. My father died of leukemia and within 12 months, I lost a baby at 6 months pregnant while caring for my terminally ill mother. Mom passed from cancer 3 months later, follwed by my last remaining brother who committed suicide 1 1/2 yrs later. It was a very traumatic period in my life and so many people who know me often ask me how I managed to want to get up each day in the days following. I believe that we are given experiences that truly do prepare us for all those rough bumps and curves along life's road. The more bumps along the road, the better we are prepared for the next thing that comes along.

However taken all that into consideration, sometimes I wonder if we need so much to believe they are with us that we build the sensations of our lost loved ones' contact into our minds as a coping mechanism. Some of the most difficult times of my life have been been given strength by dreams that I experience of my mother speaking to me. I have cried myself to sleep at times and awaken the following morning to peace because I felt mom visited me in my dreams and helped me find answers to solve my predicaments. When I feel weakened by ordeals, she always seems to be near me and visiting my sleep. I don't know what my life would be like if she didn't visit.

I have several relatives that have died over the last 30-40 yrs ago. They still on occassion visit. Most of the visits are @ nite but a few even visit during the day hours. I speak to them as I would any physical being. many times the exchange of conversation is in the form of whisper or thought-to-thought dialog. Even I was dead once for (9) minutes & it seemed more like a (9) hr field trip all the way back to the 4th century all the way up to the present moment. I wrote an extinsive detailed blog on the experience listed @ http://clinicaldeath.blogspot.com. thruout that experience-I gathered a ton of insight about the afterlife.

 The spooky part was when I researched all the names & faces in the fieldtrip, I discovered that most of those names I am related to according to my family tree which I had not even seen till after my clinical death...

 After that event- I became a fullblown believer in the fact that (consciousness) never dies- but continues until the consciousness adopts another infant prior to birth. This may also explain why many kids having memories...(or) emaginations of far away places or memories of events that the child never saw in their current life time.

Lonnie,

That is a wonderful story.  These are certainly people and feelings to be held close to your heart.  Please continue these stories whenever possible.

I know that my Spririt is my Guardian as well as my soul mate.  When I feel him around me I cry, but it is so wonderful to know he is there.  Why did he wait so long to make himself known to me?  First of all he was never out of my heart, but he knew I would be more receptive to Spirit at this time in my life.  The memories of us so long ago are beautiful, the only problem is that now it sucks getting older.  His spirit comforts me, but I will never get beyond the 'what if.....' question.

Loving hearts to all...

Alicia, congratulations.  What a wonderful story you have shared with me and other women who are struggling to become mothers.  Especially now when we are in post Mothers Day celebrations.  A time that is not joyful for all.

A true indicator the spirit lives on.  You will soon see your grandparents again.

God's love is emanating from your story.  You have been given a message that we should never give up hope. That miracles do happen to rejuvenate our faith in Him.

Blessings to your family as you await the arrival of your precious gift.

Peace & Love

Virginia

Alicia,

That is a wonderful story and CONGRATULATIONS.  How comforting to know that your beloved grandparents are still with you. It is amazing to us when these things happen, but you say the rest of your family have dreams about them too?  Their presence must be very strong, and their love strong and abiding.

My love, and Spirit Guide remains with me.  I recently had someone unpleasant from a couple of years ago come back to the area, I flipped out and began to have the fear as before.  A day later he was with me and the telepathic words he spoke were that he was there for my protection and I could relax because he would never let any harm come to me.  I feel such a gentle pull to him now.

Blessings to everyone and their protectors.

I have been very blessed throughout my life in the fact that I have on many occasions have not only had conversations with my grandfather but have had him in the realm of reality during such times. It's been yrs. since our talks together yet I know he's watching. I lost him when I was in the 7th. gr.,that day,that hr.,that moment in time came to me like a flood of knowledge. I knew at that moment just as I have always known regarding others ever sence. I can tell you something is or has happened but I can't tell whom it is. I know within mins. that the phone will ring. It use to frighten me when younger but time seemed to make it all seem so natural. Others know I do this. I to have lost my mom 5 yrs ago to cancer. I knew she was going that day, It came over me like anxiety to rush to her bedside, my pounding heart, my mind saying get to her now! It was the most beautiful moment I have ever experienced. You could not only see the pain disapating, you could feel the love and joy she was entering. I saw her spirit leave her dying body vessel, I could feel her peace. I wanted so to stay in that moment for the feeling that had come over me was so incredible, nothing I had ever felt before. Then she was gone. I miss her dearly but I smile when I think of her last moments here with us and the peace that enveloped me. She's reached out only a few times since her passing. I've had others say how can she reach out to me when I've such busy spirits with me lately. But that's another story and one I cherish with all my heart and soul, so it will have to come on another day for you all.  Just remember one thing, there's more to do then just what you can see., we do continue good or bad, I've seen it ....

Hi All - I would love to see more posts, and more people here.  Certainly there are many others out there who have in some way communicated with someone from the other side, or someone who has themselves extremely psychic.
Has anyone been to a Psychic or Medium recently?
I would be interested in knowing this.

 [ send green star]  [ accepted]

Lynn,
Thank you, I think I know this.  He does make sure I know he is around in just little ways.  My dreams - he is there right with me.  More later.... but I have had some interesting conversations with friends....

Hugs
