Anyone else out there having um..'visits'?

[jj2]

RW (hubby) was ten or eleven. RW was upstairs in bed, but hadn’t falling asleep yet. He was worried because his Mom and Dad weren’t at home. They were at the hospital visiting his Grandpa. He heard what sounded like a car door closing, the back door opening and closing, footsteps across the dinning room and up the stairs. He turned to look at the door and his Grandpa stepped in. They talked for at least ten minutes and then his Grandpa said he had to go.
RW’s Grandpa got up and went out the door and RW heard footsteps again but they sounded like someone coming up the stairs, not down.
RW’s Mom came in the door and sat on the bed beside him. She talked to him real gently and told him his Grandpa had died.
RW asked, “When cause Grandpa was just here, you should have passed him on the steps.”
Mom said that couldn’t be because Grandpa died over an hour ago.
RW’s Mom tried to convince him it was a dream, but he knew different and it took him a long time to go to sleep.
The next morning RW argued with his two brothers about his Grandpa being dead, and his Mom informed him again that his Grandpa died last night.
Even though his Mom still doesn’t believe it, but RW swears to this day that his Grandpa came to visit him and to say goodbye.

Anyway, my parents had been married for 51 years that May. My mother is certainly NOT on the 'superstitious' side. Not prone to thinking ANYTHING along those lines. (As a matter of fact, I'm POSITIVE we grew up in a haunted house. She'll admit that yes, it WAS strange that the radio would come on by itself and GO THROUGH THE DIAL, (one of the ones that actually HAD a DIAL, no buttons there!), but that's as far as she goes, okay?




We moved in a trailer that was possessed by alot of stuff when I was 10 left when I was 21 (WOULD NEVER EVER EVER LIVE IN ANOTHER HOUSE LIKE THAT) esp after living in "normal" houses.

was in my early teens when I had one of those old 70's styled big stereo/radio's with knobs and a dial. Would put it on a station go to sleep wake up to it on some horrible country music (ok the wire or whtever was tight and it crawled off the station I had it on) would put it back to what I was listening to. This went on for months and I was getting pretty ...... at it. Then it goes to changing from fm to am then it goes from music stations to static and turning the volume completely up then down then up waking EVERYONE in the house up. My dad didnt believe me (years later) till everyone but him lived in that house and the "thing" messed with him instead of us kids.
Finally burned it after it came on one afternoon while unplugged!

My dad could only handle 3 years in that house alone then he moved out an let it rot.

I've got 11 years of weird ....e from that place.

Don't worry Steph - this thread dies and then is brought back to life For a while Domino and I were the only nutters visiting here!

Guess I am a nut as well. Got a little ghost boy in my apartment, and we had a ghost in the office of my last job. We named him Skippy.

now here is where it gets trippy....

At first I called him Bob. If I dont know someone's name, I call them Bob. That is just the way it goes. He was very active, and had made himself known via glass. Tripped me out constantly. Then to tease we started to call him Skippy.

Well a friend of mine came in who is umm.... talented and come to find out Skippy was the ghosts nickname when he was in...... THE NAVY! Go figure! My last job was with the government taking care of Military Applicants!

There is a plethora of stories about him though. He was a hoot. I know he misses me, and the applicants though. He knocked a plant over (it was fake) when it was found out that Robert, and I were getting laid off because the government decided to have it so the hotel was taking care of the applicants.

Welcome to the nutters' room. We have a lot of people who look - but they don't usually comment. I don't know if that's because they think we're nutters or they don't want anyone to think that THEY are nutters too.....no matter....

 

[violetgypsie]

Just joined the nutters

Lots of the same experiences like y'all.

Some spirits are here because they are visiting and some because they are lost and some because someone on this side won't let them go.

Usually when someone first passes they will hang around for a while until the hard grieving is done by those left behind. Then they will come back and visit you once in a while. You know when they are around.

The lost ones are sad, because they don't understand what has happened to them. Those are the ones you can help if you want to, or get someone else to do it if you you're not comfortable.

Hard grief can keep a spirit here, they are not lost but feel they can't leave and cross over because someone needs them. Those one's you need to tell that it's okay for them to cross and that they can come back and visit if they want to.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Welcome to the thread that won't die---at least we hope it don't.
If nothing else, I'd hate to see the stories stop!!!

I believe science will get this figured out eventually. Everything in the universe is made up of energy.... It's not at all unusual for my family talk to dead relatives, see spirits, have true dreams, premeonitions, ect.... Some of them are nuts, some of them aren't.

 

[jj2]

Oh no, now I got, "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't," going through my head. LOL

 

[Superstargoddess]

I've never had this issue. I have had dreams of an exboyfriend that died many years ago (several years after we had broken up), but I just think of that as my subconscious wishing that I could see him, and not of him coming to me.

All I can explain it as, when you have a 'true dream' it feels different. you know it's real. Our family is a lil strange. It's no big deal when great gramma comes over to see the new baby. Nevermind she's been dead for 35 years now. And when some relative calls you out of the blue and announces they had a dream about you, you listen and ask questions!
Now when they start saying the tv is watching them, we check to see that they are actually taking their meds and maybe time for a lil vacation at the hospital again. Usually the more psychic ones are also more stable, oddly enough.
I was a psych nurse, as well as having a mentally ill son, mother, father, ect... and people often wondered why I loved it so much. A lot of people are afriad to work in the psych wards. I told them it felt like a family reunion, it was comfortable, home-like. and no one in there was crazier than my mother. (well sometimes there was one that was).
I believe that psychic sensitivity is linked in some cases to insanity. I think they will find it in the same area of the brain.
There is so much new science, new tools, quantum mechanics..... so many new frontiers. I really believe these so called paranormal activities are going to be understood some day.

It's interesting, I can feel such warmth and relief when I see him in my dreams. Then I wake up and am like -sad face-.

 

[Nighthawk]

Just cherish and enjoy the dreams. Leave the sadness behind. Take it like a warm hug, and know there will be more to come.
