Spirits, ghosts and more...

Fascinating topic - only saw it now for the first time. My sister is also highly intuitive and has had quite a few experiences.

I am completely fascinated by the topic and even though I am not personally very tuned into it, I believe some people are. The only experience I have had was the night I had my miscarriage. I had a dream and saw this chubby little girl, the colour of my husband standing in the doorway holding a man's hand. I only saw their backsides. I woke up, feeling very sad and then wnet into the toilet and saw what was happening.
To this day I believe that it was my dad showing me that he had my little girl in his care....

Pixels, I spent a large amount of my life hating myself for whom I am because of it, but I realized that you can not be happy in life if you do not love yourself for every little thing. I have made peace with the fact that I am a bit odd at the best of times, and I am hoping that this will at least lead me to a more open minded approach to my own child.

As I have an absolute passion for children and animals, I sometimes wonder how many of the kids with imaginary friends or animals whom sit and bark at a weird corner actually sees things that we, as grown ups have been taught to block out. I know for a fact that we have a spirit in the office where I work. Our little office dog spends a great deal of time staring and barking at the one corner window. I have seen a shadowy figure in the office a few times. Its not like she feels threatened, she just seems curious and I have never felt threatened by the individual, so I just let him be.

As for kids, I know of a friend whose 5 year old daughter has been seeing things ever since she could remember. Luckily she grew up in a home where her aunt is just as sensitive to these kinds of things, and her parents never judged her for it. She knows that she is special, and that there is nothing wrong with whom she is or what she sees.

Ladypandora, welcome to our little chat about spirits, ghosts and more - and thanks for sharing your experiences... WOW you are truly awesome for accepting your talent like this, and I am sure all of us would like to hear more...

I was quite surprised to find this post on here.

I have been seeing things, dreaming things and having experiences which has a tendency to make people think I have lost my marbles as long as I can remember. For all of those whom think it is problems that can be fixed by a shrink, my mother has had me tested for everything from Aspergers Syndrome to Schizophrenia in my 25 years of being alive, and I am glad to say the only finding all the shrinks have had is that I am an intelligent young lady with a tendency towards being quite sensitive.

When I was 1 week pregnant I had a dream. I was standing in a large Roman/Greek type temple, and a prophetess came to me and told me I was pregnant. I am not meant to be able to become pregnant, and even despite this I have been on the pill for the last 10 years, so I most definitely did not dream of this because I had kids on my mind. She also told me in no uncertain terms I was having a boy. As I got up to go to the loo in the morning, the name Hermes hit me like a shovel between the eyes. Obviously I was not thinking up names at 5:30 in the morning on a full bladder, I was thinking about waking up to go to work.

I am now 37 weeks pregnant with my son. He is perfectly healthy, and I have not had one serious health issue in the entire pregnancy, just the normal niggles. His name will be Luther Hermes, in respect of whomever it is that was so kind to tell me I was going to have a son.

I know some people see it as "satanic" or from the devil, but I feel that it is a blessing to be able to have the experiences that I have. I also do not feel that children should be judged or hushed up when they talk about these things. I am from a very strict Christian household, and my mother spent my first 15 years getting me tested for every problem under the sun, and telling me how I am going to hell for being different. I am now Pagan. It has nothing to do with my talent, or with my mother's approach to it, but a path that feels right to me, but I can say that I spent most of my childhood hating myself, and my family for treating what felt normal to me, as though I had some strange disease that they might just catch.

I have had dreams, I have had rather nasty spirits/beings attack me, I have seen small children and grown ups alike, and most of all types of animal spirits. I have always had a tight bond with animals, but some of these can be rather frightening creatures. I just see it as creatures that get a bit twisted when they pass on. Usually harmless but scary looking. My fav was a black cat that used to sleep in my cat's basket. My poor cat hated her because she stole her comfy spot, but she never bothered us, and actually made me feel reassured and safe.

My mother has only now started to admit that she has actually seen some of the exact things I mentioned when we stayed with my grandparents. My husband loves me for whom I am. He does not see or feel things, and he is very very relieved with that, but he also feels that people have different talents.

Another thing that comes with it is a rather irritating ability to feel what people feel, especially when it comes to me or a situation. I feel the panic and pain other people experience when I go to hospital, but have taught myself to ignore it. The biggest problem to me is the emotions of people in my family. My husband's brother hates me with an absolute passion. Even when he is on his best behavior I can feel the hate seeping through the prim act. Please be aware that these things really do exist, and yourself or your children can be blessed with these talents. If you feel even slightly repulsed by your child's abilities, some can feel it, no matter how you try to hide it. And it really hurts when the people whom are meant to love and protect you tries to get away from you during these situations.

If it unsettles you that your kids feel this way ask for your pastor to come and do an anointing ceremony at your house.I had one last december and that was bye-bye to my late cousin and I so love not dreaming of her
