Hi Purple!!
As I found, you need 20 posts to U2U people - so once you have replied to this one, you will be able to U2U me and I shall share with you in private my personal experiences.
Hope this helps!!

They are often in a mental capacity. When doing a reading, I experience all three - although I have never "seen" a ghost/spirit (THANK GOODNESS!!). I hope to remain that way. Here are some direct experiences, to hopefully demystify some of this and put it into an everyday person context... which believe me, I am. Probably the reason I got singled out to do it
1.
I get given images/words, placed upon a mental 'blackboard' and 'cinema' I have nurtured and developed. They are given to me, not directly printed into mind, but a developmental image that provides me with a template from which to explain. They know, cleverly, how to place it into my mind so that I accurately describe what is familiar to the person for whom the reading is for. This never ceases to amaze me, it will inevitably be out of proportion to seeing an actual image of what I am describing, but that facilitates an accurate description. I know I've already said this, but this is one aspect that I love - really, hats off to the spirit world here, because it has resulted in some astonishing moments for all involved. Really moving, and quite incredible.
2.
I am 'spoken' to - but this is never audibly. You are talking to a sound engineer here also, I've worked in music/radio and production for a long time, it has been a huge part of my life - so believe me, to "hear" without "hearing" is the oddest of sensations. I describe it as being whispered to, but you do not hear the whisper - you hear the end result of the conscious mind processing the information. Followed usually, particularly when not expecting it, by a 'WTF?!?' moment. So yeah, you er, hear it but you don't - is that "Clair"?
3.
I get impressions of sensation, enough to give me the experience without the intensity of the persons actual experience - that has been at times, some of the scariest and upsetting expriences I have had in this field, and whilst the "pictures" are often wonderful memories, or comedy moments, unfortunately the 'sentience' is often the antithesis of this - from sickness, to paralysis, head trauma, it is not nice. This often leaves me feeling extremely emotional, for the individuals who were at the mercy of those conditions, and for the families who were helpless alongside.

I myself have only ever given 1 or 2 face to face reads and never on the phone, and I felt massively uncomfortable - as when I actually speak, it puts me off. Typing, silently, alone helps ensure total focus and as strong a connection as possible with zero interference from what a 'sitter' may WISH to hear.

The thing is I do think there are people out there with true powers of perception, what they are recieving and where from is debatable...
If you don't by it then thats cool, if you need absolute proof, thats understandable, but when/if it happens to you, it'll have a positive affect on your life.

Speaking of past, present, and future: this is what I don't get about how psychics can see into the future. The future has not occurred yet, so how do they manage to see it? Years ago, a friend and I heard about a psychic in the next state. We drove over one day, without calling for an appointment. We found a little old lady with a plain deck of worn out playing cards. First she fussed at us to go to church, and then she started flipping those cards onto the table and telling us things she couldn't possibly have known. In fact, the things she told us were so true and so personal that the friend and I made a pact and swore to never reveal the really personal things to anyone. The psychic told my friend that she would be receiving news from a close relative that she had not heard from in years, possibly an aunt. My friend argued with her, saying she hadn't heard from the aunt in a decade, and would never hear from her. The psychic got a little angry and insisted that it was in the cards. A couple of weeks later, my friend came up to me and said she had heard from the aunt. At no time did this lady fish for information: she never asked us anything and had never set eyes on either of us.
So, again, what is it in that deck of cards that allowed her to look into our futures? How could she see things that had not taken place yet?

Is it just a sensation, a physical activity around you, a hunch? I must emphasise here to everyone, it can be quite easy to let our imaginations get the better of us. If you look too hard for signs, or experiences, you can find it in anything - and you may be missing something important.
No... this is being done in realtime by a political/gov't/military entity. Started when I was a child. I can trace it back to when my mother successfully left/divorced my father... remarried and moved out of state. I need a name.
