Hi,

I have a bit of a problem. I have been seeing things, hearing things feelings things- ghosts shapes, voices since I was 4 and can remember quite clearly every event.

I have tried my hardest to explain it all as do not want to belive or dis believe what i see etc.

My soon to be brother in law explained that his friend had violent dilusions of being stabbed and was later found out to be a Schizophrenic...I said to him, is that what you are saying I could be- He said no, but the brain is like a camera, the slightest change to the zoom can show a picture differently from one person to the next, now i have had a time when my father and brother died a year apart 10 years ago- I used drugs stupidly then...but not before and have seen these things al my life.

I am almost trying to understand my mind and how it works etc, as to be honest..im baffled...I used to be scared but now embrace this.

In short, I do not know what it is I hear or see, but I do know 70 years ago plus, if I were to say this in public I would receive electric treatment or similar from the medics and scientists fo the day.

Whos to say, whether I am nuts or jus in tune..I do hope that someone cracks the answer soon though, as I could do with knowing.

Anyone got any tips on where I cAN FIND FACTS ABOUT THIS PLEASE ??

sorry no tips really - just a personal fact which you can do with what you like. i saw a ghost (right after seeing what i thought was a ghost cat - which i now believe was a shadow cat holding the ghost captive. i can elaborate if someone wants me to) and the look on my face prompted the person i was with (resident of the house) to say "you saw the ghost didnt you"

that was enough proof for me. either we had a telepathic experience (unlikely but vaguely possible) or i saw a ghost that had been experienced in that house multiple times over the years.

so what you are seeing could be real - could be your imagination - could be a combo of the two

edit to add a great resource for reliable information on the subject is researcher Heidi Hollis u can find her on youtube

Thanks for your help, I do actually believe in ghosts but get confused by the ´scientific´answers etc.

I have been watching the A trip into the supernatural since I posted, OMG !

Theres alot to think about out there eh !

I wonder what is real and not sometimes.

Thanks though will check out that lady

Take care

I believe in spirits, because I have witnessed them. That may not be proof for others, but for me it is definitely worth noting. I don't consider myself a natural. I only started having experiences when I started to seek knowledge of the paranormal about 5 years ago(excepting one recalled experience as a kid). I figured the only way to find out if it was real was to try things myself(meditation, energy work, etc).

I'm open to the possibility that it could be in my head, but since I have less than one experience a year I don't see it as being a problem. I've had various brain scans in recent years for something unrelated and no abnormalities were detected(think CAT and MRI, but I'm not positive).

And there have been reports of ghost animals before. I recall many stories of cats in particular. I once may have seen a ghost puppy myself.

opening yourself up to those types of experiences definitely increases your chances of seeing or experiencing something

at the very least it goes like this: if you are totally unwilling to accept something as part of reality, how is your brain going to respond when said thing flashes in the corner of your eye? its going to look right through it, and here's an example of why: when you are facing a white wall, any blemishes will only be visible if you are looking directly at them. the rest of the wall will apear to be perfectly white. this is because in order to save energy, your brain 'fills in the blanks' so to speak, and so long as its doing so, it might as well fill them in with what it likes or thinks to be 'ideal reality'. in that way, our perception of reality is ultimately responsible for what we eventually perceive.

or, stated shortly
"speak of the devil, and he shall appear"

Absence of proof is not proof of absence. Ghosts have been recorded in history for thousands of years, but you'll never really believe it until you experience it for yourself, and even then it can still be hard. It's much easier and far more comforting to just explain it away as being something non-paranormal, because we naturally fear the unknown. But for better or worse, some of us have had that nice explanation yanked away from us, and have to face the fact that they do exist and it's a bit beyond our understanding.

If you don't want to believe, then don't believe... In some ways, being aware of this stuff is a curse anyway. But don't try to go around saying it's fake, or have some debate about it... that's just silly. The only thing in this universe that is truly impossible is to prove that something is impossible or doesn't exist, because unless you are the creator of said universe, you have an overwhelming lack of information about what's really possible or not. We can only go by what we've seen and experienced, and not a lack thereof. You may not have seen anything, but countless people have.

I happen to know that ghosts are real, no I can't see dead people, and no I'm not a bogus John Edward crossing over cold reading charlatan, I don't tell too many people and I don't seek money from it, I just know when certain locations are visited in real time by concuous ghosts, it's a talent or a gift or maybe everyone can have this, it's a type of sensitivity that I wouldn't even classify as psychic, it's just sensitive in general, are you sensitive enough to see a cyote off in the distance before your dog sees it? Are you sensitive enough to medidtate and listen, can you tell when someone is bad just by a feeling you get? If you can't take the time to smell the roses, if you can't take the time to meditate, take the time to look around, then chances are you are not sensitive enough to feel the presence of a being that is in another dimension, a being barley noticable by living beings, it goes beyond looking for them, I don't look for them and they seem to pop up in random places, I usually don't acknowledge their existance because I don't want them following me home, sounds like a joke but it's not, I answered a questionnaire and filled out a form for the sci-fi channel once and they wanted me to be on their show, it was called, The Gift, or something like that, but I decided not to go to the audition because I felt I might somehow be selling out, selling my ability to entertain stargate fans, to the point that people would think I was a phoney, and because I think the mixing of fame or money with this talent is selling out I chose not to do it, and from what I've seen this Gift show never aired, probably got cancelled before it got off the ground.

I nor anyone can prove to you that Ghosts exist, but just try to pay attention and become closer to nature and maybe you will experience something one day, but I wouldn't ever expect to convince you.

I agree. The more and more I think about it the more I belive what I have seen was real. I now know that I have seen ghosts all my life. The other day I had a feeling to do something with a particular client of mine. It was a new client and I had 23 in total but something just told me to write a different way to this one. I had a feeling he was a big client. Then after 10 days he came back to me confirming my feeling.

To be honest that is one example, I can tell people what they are about to say, look into someones eyes and no they are bad ro good and also pick up on general energy. I have re assessed my life now and realise I have been doing this since I was born. But also beleive that it is the spirit world guiding me. One problem I have, I watched the DVD link on you tube from this post, and the next and the next..it freaked me out as it said that ALL ghosts were satans army pretending to be your relatives or similar. It took me another few days to go through this in my brain, constantly battling with why are his angels interfering and the ones we refer to as good not. Then after I had decided it didnt matter to me, as I was going to carry on using my mind and heart for good...a feather dropped into my lap or table or infornt of me over the next 5 days...I knew I had chosen the right way of thinking.

Maybe I am not making sense but I would love to hear peoples thoughts on the above.
