Calling all Psychics: What kind of things have you experienced?

[kiani]

This is a continuation to the Psychic Roll Call Thread. We have 13 there so far and I hope more come out and find their way over to let us know who they are. IF you are psychic and don't mind that anyone else knows just click on the link in my siggy and post, okay!

Now I want to know what kinds of things you've experienced and/or examples of your abilities. We can all compare notes.

Okay...I wanted to start by showing you all a picture of what I believe to very much to be spirit(s). This is the kind of thing I have been continually seeing in my bedroom for the last two months. It looks like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kiani/7B72A8F8BF-9608-4F31-830C-10F9E9959.jpg

The way I see it it's a bit fainter though. It (or they) glide and float around my bedroom. I sometimes (and still do) think there is something wrong with my eyes. I also see "Predator" like images--also what I believe to be spirits of Dead People. Have you all seen Predator? Its a movie with Arnold Swartzenegger. When it 'cloaked' itself from view, you couldn't see it because it became transparent--but you could still make out the outlines of them if you look closely. I see ALOT of this too.

I've also actually seen Dead People that look as real as you and me. But they 'blink' in or out. The last time this happened vividly was in my bedroom where I used to live. A little black girl appeared. She must have been around 5 or 6 years old. I was startled as she just appeared in my room. And as I looked at her, a sensation hit me. It was something like a Brick being slammed across the side of my head. With that, the girl disappeared. I can't figure the reason except to tell me that is how she might have died. That was 3 or so years ago.

I've also suffered from what the textbook call, "Sleep Paralysis" on and off my entire life. I really don't believe what they say about it. My entire take on the experience is something different. After I get 'attacked' I always wake up feeling violated and with black and blue bruises to prove it. I recently started wearing a talisman of sorts (my husband's beloved Jade necklace) which protects me now. It puts a protective shield about me so when spirits or whatever try to 'attack' me, they can't get in...oh but do they put up a fight with their screeching and banging as they try to get in.

Okay. Now you.

[puchidevil]

This has only happened to me twice - as i now protect myself fully before i retire for the night.

Anyway, one night i was reading in bed, and became aware of 'something' (not spirit) in the room with me. I turned my head to see what it was - but before my head was fully turned - i was psychically dragged from my bed and.........well - lets say a fight for my life ensued.

Somehow, i won, and slammed back into myself. I told my hubby about what had just happened, and he said that i never moved a muscle for a good five or ten minutes and he was beginning to get worried that i would not respond to him. I then looked at a few places on my body that i knew were hurt, and we found bruises and scratches.

I assumed that would be the only time that this creature would do this - as I now knew about him and would recognise him should he appeared again. I also knew that I had beaten him, so assumed he would not be back. So, I figured that protection would not be necessary at that point.

Six months later, I was again on my bed in the early evening, when I became aware of spirit in the room. I looked up and saw my deceased father coming towards me with his hands outstretched and a smile on his face. I went up to him and we hugged. At that point I knew something was wrong as my father had never hugged me in life and it wasnt like him to do so. The moment i realised this, the image of my father changed into the creature that had attacked me 6 months earlier. It immediately bit me on the neck, and another fight for my life began. Only this time, the creature tried dragging me out of my house, via the window.

Somehow, I again fought it off, and realised that it had tried to trick me.

Protection is a must now - and I have also moved my bed. It has been two years since these things happened, and I dont expect it to be back.

I also know how crazy these two stories sound - but they are 100% true, and caused me to have major trust issues with my guide, who never stepped in to help, despite my pleas, when these things happened.

[kiani]

Wow Puchidevil,
That's incredible. I have had experiences like that too...except I'm on dragged...but i feel like I'm being suffocated and my energy is being suctioned out of me. Once I became wary of these things, the episodes would start out like how things did with your father coming to hug you. I'd get approached with an image that I trusted and I soon as I let them in, they change and transform into something else and then I have to fight to get out of it and I scream and try to move and call out for my husband.

Good to know that I'm not the only one.

[puchidevil]

it is good to know

I have never met anyone who understood what I was talking about before lol - I usually just get looks of disbelief and comments of how much of a nutter I am lmaooo

Although I believe the nutter comments come in when i try to describe the creature and how many rows of teeth it had etc.

[SilverAnnie]

...i cant seem to make your link work. i will post some of my experiences here.

my first real psychic experience occured when i was 13, my mother was pregnant and i knew that the child would be handicapped in some way. i remember being very upset about this, and "knowing" that something was going to be required of me that i wasn't yet prepared to meet. i remember arguing with this Presence, whom i have always felt to be very close. i remember telling this Presence that i wasn't yet ready. and a few weeks later, my mother had a miscarriage. i already knew not to share what i had experienced - i was pretty sure my mother would categorize it as sibling rivalry coupled with magical thinking and dismiss it. so i kept it to myself. the following fall i walked into my high school biology class and opened the textbook on my desk to the page under human genetics that described Downs Syndrome. the Voice said: that. the next year my mother got pregnant and my brother was born the following fall, with Downs Syndrome. when the phone rang the night he was born, i knew at once it was my mother, calling to tell me there was something wrong with the baby. those were her exact words when i picked up the phone. i asked her what exactly was wrong, and she hesitated and said, well, he's slightly mongoloid. and i remember i said, no, he has downs syndrome. i remember her gasp and she said, you know about this? and i remember the lame thing i said... because i didn't know how to tell her that oh yes, i knew all about it. i'd been preparing for it the whole time she was pregnant. but i couldn't tell her. some years later, my mother told me that she did find it uncanny at the time the way i would show up and say the right thing whenever she was feeling at her worst, because coupled with his developmental problems, my brother's physical health was extremely poor that first year and he nearly didn't survive it. it was the Voice, of course, speaking through me, feeding me the lines, but she said it was just amazing how i knew, at 17, the right thing to say. i remember the sensation of waiting, listening for the words to rise to the top of my consciousness, and then speaking them, like lines repeated for a play.

that was my first psychic experience. the other piece i remember about this experience was that at some point, i was offered a choice as to whether or not i wanted to accept the gift. and i remember the moment i said yes.

[dademan]

Hey, I'll tell a few of my Expericances in a second.

But Is it just me, or does it look like there is a little skeleton on the bottom left hand corner of the pic?

http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/3686/ghostfist9fq.jpg
(look under the big line)


But anyways, heres a select few of mine:

When I was about 4 or 5, my aunt had passed away from a bought with Cancer. I belive she had said that, if Daddy wanted her, she would go(daddy meaning my grandpa). Well, once my Grandma got back from Seattle, since thats where my Aunt was at, she stayed with us, for a while.

Well, one night, I woke up, and looked around. And by my closet, were two figures. I knew them as my Aunt, and Grandpa(he died a year before I was born). I woke my grandma up (she slept in the same room as I), but she couldnt see anything, and just thought I was kidding around. But to this day, I rememeber the feelings they were giving off.



Another few is when I knew that one of my other Aunts, Aunt Shirley(didnt know her well), had a stroke. My mom and I went up to the hospital, to see her. When I saw her, I had an overwhelming feeling of sadness. And when we were outside, and heading to the car, I told my mom that she was going to die soon (I belive I said in a weeks time), and, behold, she did, a few days later.

The same thing happened, with my Grandma. I was with her, until about...oh, 4 or 5 hours before she died. I knew what was to come, but I felt, young as I was, that I had to be strong, for everyone. So when my dad came to pick me up at my Aunt Gin's house (she was taking care of Grandma), I gave her a pin that we bought for her, and when I got back into the truck, I cried, like I never did before. I said by the end of the week.....but it was a few hours later, as I said.

And with that same expirance, I can almost remote view what happened, as my mother explained the sceane, when she got there(long story).


After jetskiing, one summer, I looked into the sky. And there was a storm rolling in, but withing the torrent of clouds, there was a....parting?. You could see up to the clear sky, and see the layers of clouds. And I knew Aunt Gin was going to go, also. And I told Dad this, but I cant remember if he took it seriously or not...

Well, the family was going on a trip a few days later, and we got a call on our cell, when we were about a half hour out of our town, saying that she had passed that night. We all knew it was coming. To this day, my Cousin's, who were with her, dont know that I had predicted this to happen.

One big expirance, I had recently, was on New years Day, freshman year in highschool(last year). One of my friends has a vengefull spirit attached to him(or was), and a few of us were meddling in its buissness, and started to bother us. One of them(we're not....friends anymore), had a shared expiranced.

We both felt the same things. A pain in our back, like somone punching it. Hot and cold spots, instant headaches, etc. We stayed up, all night, keeping whatch on our friend, afraid of what might happen. Nothing really happened of signifagance, other than that, that night.

But the same ghost has been following us, the group that was at the party, around since then. My dad and I heard heavy bootsteps from upstairs, while we were in the garage.(heavy boots, as in like, Army boots) No one else was home at the time. My friend, who was the main person, said it was 'Him' as we reffer to it.


I have also seen a young girl in our backyard. Of Victorian Age.


Then theres my Grandparents old house(on my dad's side). But Im not going to get into that, other than its where I reilized that I have Clairsestiance(sp). (very....very...very long story, maybe a topic sometime).



One of the scariest things, other than some things I saw in the Grandparents house, was at my Ex-Gf's.

Ok, so let me explain how it is set up.

On one side of the road, theres a barn, In the barn, are a litter of cats, and once in a while, Calfs.

on the other side, is her house.

Well, we were walking across, to see and feed the cats. Zip-i-de-do-da. We played around a while with them, then decided to walk back, before the owners found out, and yelled at us >.> lol.

Well, as we neared the road, I felt a sharp pain in my wrists. I look at my left wrist(bottom), and see a faint, red "Z". Almost like a pushpin's width. then a little while later, one appeared on the top of my right wrist. Yes...it did hurt a bit.


And one that im somewhat proud of....and yet very afraid of....is my ability to see into past lives.

On another fourm that I frequant, theres a chatroom. I was in it one night, and one of the Mods was in the room. She was doing a reading with another Mod. I decided, "Why not try something", and decided to prod around in the reading. But I kept my distance from them.

After it was done, she said she felt me there. And said that I had an old soul, and other things, in which I cannot recall. But she senced that I could see somethings.

Well, I had a feeling, with one of the people in the room, and went on, doing my -frist- reading. I did a few more the same night (would rather not go into details atm)

A few weeks later, she put me to the test. I did 3 in one night. One on her Ex-Husband(I belive). It was a shared life, between them. They knew about it already, and I was spot on.

Remember, I had never spoken to these members before then.

Thats most of the mayjor expirances of mine.

But all in all, Ive done some reasearch on other psychic gifts, and I belive I have the following abilites, in some shape:

Empathy
Clairsentience
Psychometry(to a very small degree)
Pre/Retrocognition
A Medium of sorts
Catalyst Telepath

ok ... I am not psychic ...
But, I have seen images like the one that you posted ... except the ones that I see are white. I often see them at night-time, and often between being asleep and awake. They don't appear to do anything except for just be there ... so I think that they are pretty harmless. If I see them, and I feel uncomfortable, which is quite alot ... I just tell them to go away, and they either do, or their light becomes dimmer.
As for sleep paralysis ... I have had some similar experiences, although not as extreme as what some others have experienced ... and not since I was a teenager. Thanks for posting that image ... I was wondering what it was that I was seeing :)

[puchidevil]

My very first experience was when i was around 4 years old.

We lived in an old house, and every night I used to cry and scream not to go to bed in the particular bedroom I was allocated. I didn't know why, until one night.

Was lay in bed, my little sister (aged 2-ish at that time) was in a cot in the same room.

As soon as my mother closed the door - the whole bed room disappeared. Curtains, carpets, wallpaper, furniture - everything gone. I couildnt even see my sister, so I assumed she had gone too. My bed shifted and moved to a different position in the room. It was also a different bed - i was now not lay on my single bed - but on a very old double bed. The position it moved to was directly facing the door. In the corner of the room, at the ceiling, and just above the door, there appeared a skeletal figure of some kind. Just its head. And it pulsated and grew bigger. Each time I saw it I shut my eyes, as it was sooooooooo scary. And each time I opened my eyes, it was gone, only to re-appear a couple of seconds later.

Anyway, after several weeks of this, and my screaming and crying not to be put in that bedroom, my mother and father decided to move me to a different room. They also decided to sleep in the room I once occupied with my sister.

I dont know what happened to my mother anf father that night, but in the middle of the night, they phoned a taxi, and we left the house, never to return. They took nothing with us, just left everything behind.

OK, some might say it was the imagination of a 4 year old. I never told anyone this story for a long time. But I happened to mention it to my sister when I was 28 years old. I never got to finish, as she finished the story for me. She saw these things too, and thought that she was dreaming. We were so relieved to realise that we werent dreaming, as these occurances left me pretty much traumatised for a long time.

Well, we approached our mother with the story - and she totally denied that we ever lived in that house. Even to this day, she denies it. We have tried descibing the house to her in minute detail, to no avail. She denies its existence. My two brothers remember the house. So, I believe that my mother and father experienced this phenomena when they stayed in that bedroom.

[SidneyCozzoi]

I am told I'm terrific with Tarot. I do well enough.
Since I was very young I would get intense gut feelings regarding safety and trust.
I have precognative thoughts in new situations, though I usually don't recognize these thoughts as possible truthes until after the fact. (ex. My boyfriend moved in with a friend of mine, I thought they would get along pretty well even though I was having flashes that it would be awful for both of them and I would loose my friend because of it. sure enough my boyfriend and I just moved into a new place yesterday to get as far from him as possible!) I'm lacking confidense in my skill, I suppose.
I have vivid dreams of blood and gore as well as places I've never been or knew exsisted. So far I have discovered many of these places do exsist and have actually gone to some of them later (not significant places of historical value, places like a private home or a room in a school).
I get De Ja Vu almost everyday, sometimes multiple times in a day.
I have always been terrified of the dark. I feel things. The things i see are really just my over-active imagination (bloody limbs on a shelf or small vicious creatures waiting to eat me, freddy krueger, that sort of thing)
I am an empath and I can't stand certain (most) people in my personal space. I can feel them and it makes me uncomfortable. I don't hang on my friends like some girls do in their groups. I didn't even like to be cuddled as a baby. My mother said I pushed her away even if I was feeding.
I am connected to certain family members psychicly. I woke up around 1am one morning because I couldn't breathe. It felt as though someone was sitting on my chest. I was having what felt like an anxiety attack. The breathing trouble lasted for two weeks, a week later I found out that my great grandmother (across the country) awoke the same night at 4am (her time in Mass, I'm in Cali) She was having an anxiety attack because the radiator died, that triggered an asthma attack, she had to go to the hospital for two weeks to be treated.
I read people fairly well. I can tell what a complete stranger is like in relationships, at work, and at home within the first five minutes of meeting them, They don't even have to speak.
My boyfriend has told me I move things, make rooms shake and such.
I don't see ghosts, I don't hear cries, I don't really have visions, but then, I also don't know how to improve my skill or discern what i see, feel and hear from random biases or real pyschic occurances.
I believe EVERYONE has these abilities, we just don't all recognize them or acknowledge them. Some deny them so much it's like it doesn't exsist at all (these are people who often appear to not have tact or say the wrong things at the wrong time, unless it's intentional).

[ForestChild]

I've experienced alot of spirits. One that I beleive to be my grandfather visits every now and again. In my first house, lights would go off and on, my lava lamp would turn on, even when not plugged in. Whenever my husband and I would get into a fight my grandfathers photo would fall off of the wall. I asked if it was him, and the photo fell off the wall again. Later that night, in my grandmother's house, every photo of him fell off of the walls.

At this house, it's more of the dryer opening and slamming shut repeatedly. Often, just one part of my body will go freezing cold. Like my hand or shoulder or neck. Once I turned to go into the kitchen and a dinner plate was floating about waist level.

Oddly enough though, the "big" things that happen, don't happen to me. My husband was awakened by a finger poking him in the face, progressivly harder and harder until it was painful. He thought it was me, but I had fallen asleep on the couch.

My daughter was repeatedly awakened by a man she could not see yelling at her to "get out of this house"

I really would love to develop any abilities further. I should get to work on that ;)

[Moonshine]

One of the things that I experience on a regular basis is hearing information just before it is uttered. For example on T.V. shows when the name of someone is going to be announced, I hear it just a moment before the name is announced.

[cobwebfaerie]

I work with Mediumship. Clairvoyant mostly, rarely clairaudient. I read cards, and have a lot of crazy experiences!

I'm really interested in helping people connect with their families. I really love the work, because it is close to home for me. The only ways I was able to connect with my family was through dreams and messages I recieved.

I am facinated with hautnings. Last year, we looked at this beautiful house from 1880, that was on the market. It had been rehabed and I just had to get inside to see it. We looked through the whole house, but when we got into the cellar, that's when everything went south.

I was standing in the center of the cellar, with the owner and my husband looking around. They were discussing some wires hanging out of the wall that were attached to the old pump for the old well on the property.

I feel something coming from behind me, but there's a solid wall behind me, and the crawl space. So I keep looking around me, waiting for them to be done with their guy stuff, and I get the impression there's definately someone with me. This person not only didn't like me they began walking a circle around me. Now the cellar did have two long windows that flooded it with light, making the room very warm, but I was freezing. And who ever this was was incredibly ticked off I was even there.

I turned to the two men, realizing it's time to get out, because I'm getting the message loud and clear. Get out, I don't want you here, get out.

"I'm going upstairs."
The owner looked at me, and I could tell from his expression this had happened before. Did I mention the house had been on the market for about a year and a half, and he said he usually flipped them in less than six months?

So I head upstairs, and walk toward the little garage. My husband and the owner come up a few minutes later, and we check out the garage. Then we wonder to the front of the house, where I am seeing damsel and dragonflies galore. Then a huge butterfly flies over the house. Hm.

We tell the man we'll meet him inside, to get his information and a form for possibly renting to own the house. He said okay he'll go in and get it ready.

My husband turns to me and says "You felt someone didn't you?"
"OH yeah, and their pissed off."
"I felt them too, came in through the floor boards."

We head inside, I've already decided this ain't gonna fly. There's NO way. We polietly take the papers, and get outta dodge.

That night I head to bed, and I dream about being stuck in the cellar. I'm trapped and feeling frightened, but it's not me, I'm male. I'm a boy...help help. Someone. Then I feel the woman coming, and I run, I try to hide in a corner, but there's no place to go...oh god.

I woke up panting. My husband had already left for work. I was alone, so I tried to settle back down and go back to sleep. I drop off and again the dream comes again this time more intense. I wake up again.

Now I'm really freaking out. This is the first time I've had an experiance happen like this ever. I'm terrified, but it's not my fear. At this point I give up on going back to sleep. I can't sleep.

So I start my day at 5:45 am. I read for four hours, and finally drop off, and thank goodness, there's nothing.

I have had maybe one experiance before like this, but this one was by far the most intense. I've done readings for people, talked to relatives, but earthbound spirits hold on to their raw emotions. And this was raw. Deperate and raw.

Now, I am trying to find it, so bare with me, I'll post it later, my old comp crashed and this is the new one. I looked at the MLS listing for the house and in the windows you could make out the image of an older woman and a young boy peering out toward the cameraman. It was clear as day. We missed it the first five times we looked, but it was very clear.

No wonder the house was selling for 50,000 cheaper than the market value. For the size and the style we were shocked, but I think it's because the owner knew it was haunted.

Our area is haunted like this all over, but this experiance was the most intense. As crazy as it sounds, I'm glad I had it, because personally it helped me realize the extent of hauntings. Most places I've been their pretty common hauntings, this one wasn't that common.

When I find the photo I'll be sure to post it. :)

[aislin_ryann]

Oh wow. I don't know where I can or should begin. I have seen and heard things my whole life. Most recently is in our new apartment. We moved in on 2/25. I have a couple of spirits who are with me at all times, my spirit guides. Since we have moved in, I have sensed something else is in the apartment with us now. Our freezer keeps opening. You can sit there and watch it open. We come into the kitchen at all hours for a drink or snack, and there it is hanging wide open. Doors are being opened and closed. We heard a strange beeping sound coming from the one corner of our bedroom one night around 2 am. We got up and searched for what could be making this noise. Everytime we would get close to where it sounded like it was coming from, it would move to another spot in the room. Our dog heard it too and was trying to get it, but ended up running back and forth as well. We will be sitting in the living room, with the dog and our two cats asleep on our laps and you can hear someone or something walking around upstairs. It seems to be in the extra bedroom the most. You hear it going into the bathroom, walking around, going through the closet. Yet when you go up there, nothing is there. This morning, I was getting my shower and the lights started to flicker. I peeked out from behind the curtain and nothing was there. The lights continued to flip on and off. I said in a calm but assertive voice "please stop that. I have to go to work." The lights snapped back on and they didn't flicker anymore. I have been seeing lights, much like the photo and orbs of white light. And these aren't out of the corners of my eyes, no these are plain as day, right in front of me. I have also been hearing a womans voice. I have not been able to make out what she is saying, but I do hear her. She doesn't sound distressed.

Well, that is the most recent. I have had too many to put on here. :awilly:

[cobwebfaerie]

You might consider putting out a tape recorder and trying to capture her voice, to see if you can catch what she's saying. You can also ask her to repeat it.

You sound like you've got an incredibly active place! It sounds like your developing quite nicely, and learning to understand how your gifts work. You've got a handle on it, when you were so assertive and it stopped. It sounds like you might have more than one spirit there. Consider doing some investigation on the buildings through the city records and news paper archieve throught he library.

And feel free to ask any questions you might have if you have things happen that you don't understand. My PM box is always open. :)

[Prinsazz]

I have a couple of more memorable experiences, not necessarily good memorable but still.

My first known experience is more a retelling by my mum and family. I was about 18 months old- 2yrs and my grandad had rung us and told my mum that he was taking us out for dinner. My mum was putting my shoes on on the stairs and I said to her (in my own language-was only little- but she knew what i was on about) that my uncle steve was in an ambulance. My mum just agreed thinking i was being a child. Needless to say, at the dinner, my grandad told us that my uncle steve had died that day in a motorcycle accident.
They say children are much more aware of their abilities.

The second was when I was about 17, and I had my first taste of a kind of psychometry mixed with the empath. I was standing in a shop that specialised in swords and armour etc. I stood by a suit of armour and suddenly got a huge pain in my lower back, so bad that i had to sit down. My mum, ever helping me with my abilities, looked around the suit of armour, to discover, unknown to me, that there was a huge sword mark in the back of the suit.

Thanks for letting us share- makes me feel a little bit less like I am mad, and that there are more people out there that experience stuff too

[Aleannah]

I don't know if you would consider any of this psychic or not, but I hear voices...usually a male voice, very low. Now, one of the voices I consistently hear is what some people would call your conscience or whatever, but I think it's probably one of my spirit guides trying to keep me from doing stupid stuff...for instance, if I'm laying my wallet down somewhere, the voice will say "put it (here) or don't put it there, put it here"...stuff like that. Two distinct occurrences that stick out - when I was married the first time, we lived in a house that was built around the turn of the century. It was an awesome house, but there was a spirit there who didn't like me going into the basement, which is where the laundry room was. After it cornered me one day, I finally told it I wasn't there to bother it, just wanted to go about my business normally, and to please just leave me alone. It did. Then, there was also a child spirit that I would only catch out of the corner of my eye, but the most activity was when I ran the vacuum cleaner - it would just dart around the room I was in. I think it didn't like the noise.

The next most vivid occurrence was 9/11 - I was getting ready for work, and the radio in my car didn't work. I heard about the first plane on the news before I left. As soon as I heard it, that small voice said "there's more". Then when I got to work, the second plane had hit. Then the towers....when they fell, I heard the people screaming inside. I block that memory as much as possible...it's just too painful.

[fireopalmuse]

Lets see where do I begin ? When I was real young I had a dark shadow " being " appear in my bedroom, what it was there for I do not know, but let me tell you I did not like it !! As I got a little older I realized I had a psychic ability. I have predicted a few things pretty accurately, like my cousin getting into a bad car accident and mother passing away, way to young by the way, and I`m sure many incidents that I can`t remember. I had a friend that lived in a house that was haunted, so I used the Witchboard to try and contact some of them. I saw full on ghosts floating about the room, had them passing through my body,( if you never had this happen it is the strangest sensation) , and I did many spirit drawings in that house as well. We used to do it all the time. One time we were talking to a spirit and I wanted rock solid proof they were real so, I asked them to protect my hand as I put it into the flame of a candle. Well I did , and guess what it worked, no burns, no black marks, no nothing, boy did I get all the PROOF I needed that night!!! I guess I`m running out of room, I have alot more to say but there is no more room and I do not how to get more room to write!!!!:tarotwitc :abanana: 8O :boquet: :fpeace: :T :fpoke: :fpartyfav :abanana:

[kiani]

its been awhile since I've written in this thread...but here is my most recent experience:

Talked to another dead person today. Its been awhile. And when its been awhile, I start to think that I AM CRAZY.

So I was working with this lady the other day and I saw bright yellow sponge bob orbs around her. As always, I look all around and in back of me to make sure I'm not seeing something reflecting off of something to make me see this stuff. Nothing around. They lady notices me turn this way and that so she asks me if anything is wrong. I ask her to stand where I am and to tell me if she sees any yellow spots. She doesn't. She's a little weirded out by my question and asks me if I have a 'condition' -- if I'm sick or something LOL. Ha ha ha. I just tell her that I always see stuff like that and its no big deal. Then she asks me if I can see spirits.

Intriguing and forward of her to ask so matter of factly. So I say yes and that there seems to be a spirit attached to her. She's so excited, she wants me to tell her who it is. I need about a minute to clear my head so I can receive a message from 'this spirit.' Within minutes, a wealth of information is flooding me.

I tell the lady about the restaurant date she had with this person. I describe the windows that was near the table. I tell her that she and this person had an important conversation at this place and that they talked for hours.

The lady confirms that its her mother. I start laughing because this lady's mom is a hoot. I can see her...a little old lady with her hair up dancing the Can Can of all things! She's thrown her cane off to the side and she's dancing the Can Can! LOL. It looks hilarious in my head. I the lady this and her jaw drops open. Her mother used to do that to her when she was alive.

A lot of other things come to my head and it is without a doubt to this woman that I am communicating with her dead mother.

...and the coup de gras? Her mother gave me a name. I ask the lady what her mother's name is. She says Marie. That is not the name in my head. So I ask her....well, then who is Gladys? The lady start laughing so hard. She tells me that it was her pet name for her mother. When ever they would joke around, she would tell her mom, "Okay, Gladys...whatever!"

I'm brand new to this forum so if this is in the wrong thread I apologize and please direct me to the correct one.

One of the reasons I joined this forum is because I recently had a psychic experience. It was real, it was the first thing this...incredible that I've ever experienced, and it scared the bejeebers out of me! It's scary but it's something that I'd like to see if I can develop at the same time.

Here goes:

For more than a week I was having a nightly dream/vision. No detail ever changed and it always felt so real I would wake up shaking. It all happened in the first person. I was browsing the photo evidence on a paranormal forum I belong to when I see a picture of a kitchen. The person had posted the photo becasue their nannycam had captured a shadow reflected on the base of their breakfast bar. It didn't look like any kitchen I'd ever been in or even could recall seeing, be it in rl, magazine,tv...whatever.
In the vision (?) I knew with absolute certainty that this shadow was not supernatural, it was in fact, a would-be intruder observing the home from outside of sliding glass doors. He was watching the home, observing the schedule of the person who lived there. Planning something very not good. Everything was so clear and so frightening that I began to spend hours on end searching the forum for the pictures. Finally, my conscience overcame my fear of skepticism and I sent a pm to the forum administration. They encouraged me to type up a more detailed description of what I'd been seeing and send it to them. At which point they would post it under an adminastrator ID and cite it as an experience from an anonymous member.
Within two days I got an e-mail from the site admin who'd been so helpful from the beginning. She forwarded a pm from another member who said that the description sounded like her kitchen but she responded mainly because long before she read the post she'd been catching herself sending uneasy glances toward those sliding glass doors and couldn't figure out why. Included with the pm was a photo of part of the kitchen. Even though the brakfast bar and doors were not in the photo it looked enough like the kitchen I'd been seeing that I asked the admin to give the member my e-mail address.
When the member responded I thought it best to ask her questions about other details of the home that I'd seen but not disclosed in the post. Nearly every detail, down to a bookshelf in the family room, was exact. I'm sure that we were both terrified! I'd never had something like this happen to me before and she'd just had a complete stranger describe part of her home in great detail and in connection with a very frightening scenario.
We spoke through e-mail constantly for two days. Divulging every little thing we could think of. Me, about what I'd seen and she about her neighborhood, security precautions which she already had in place...etc. Through communication we discovered a minor detail that brought with it some major relief. In her backyard (off of the kitchen) I had seen some rather large trees which blocked the view of her home from friendly neighbours who would certainly have noticed a stranger standing outside her doors and staring. In RL she and her late husband had cut the trees down shortly after moving into the residence. I felt an immediate sense of relief when she told me this. One of the feelings always most prominent to me was one of isolation. That this stranger could get in and no one would know.
The dreams stopped that night.
I've asked her to try and find out the recent history of the house. Perhaps what I saw happened to a previous tenant? It seems to me that this could not only explain what I'd been seeing but, it could also be why she gets that uneasy feeling about the doors. She and I have become cyber-pen-pals because of this which is great and we're both fairly certain at this point that she is in no physical danger due to her own precautions and the proximity of her neighbors/friends.
The experience, though, frightened and intrigued me.

Is this an ability/gift that I have?
If so, how do I learn to develop it?
Can I control it? Use it to help people?
Also, why now?
I'm 33 years old and sudenly I can see the homes of strangers thousands of miles away, and possibly even see hints of past crimes that occured there?
And for goodness sake, what prompted the dream/vision in the first place?

Coul someone please help me? I'm confused and really floundering here.
Thanks

Hi Petunia. My name is Gypsyballad. I am, by no means an expert, but I thought perhaps that I could give you some advice.

This is definitely an ability that you have, that you were probably born with. Unfortunately, I don't know offhand of any exercises that you can do to further develop your ability. Perhaps you could take a look at some books that could help you to develop your psychic ability. You might try Amazon.com. I think that your ability is called precognition, which is knowing something is going to happen before it does. And with practice, by doing the exercises that will help you to develop your gift, you could learn how to control it, and perhaps use it to help others.

To answer your other question, maybe your dream/vision was prompted because of your close proximity (via your forum) to your forum admin.

I think you may have posted in the wrong thread. I think it should have been posted under "Dreams and Divination", but I'm not sure.

I hope this helps, and I hope that I was able to answer your questions! :)



Forum Moderator, should this post be posted in "Dreams and Divination"?

Gypsyballad,

Thanks for the quick response and the advice. I have copy and pasted into the Dreams and Divination thread. I appreciate the advice about the books but before I invest any money I'd like some advice on what authors are reputable and whom may be wasting my time.
Again, thank you for all of your help and advice.
