Seeing feeling or hearing spirits.

[krizpy86]

Just curious how frequently, if at all, any of you come into contact with the other side? Its happened to me 4 times in my life, but more frequently in the last year.... I think this might have something to do with my "awakening."

Do you see, feel, or hear them?
One instance I heard and saw a spirit... it was an old woman and she was humming a vague tune... I was climbing the stairs in a museum in Iceland and she was in front of me... I turned around to tell my parents something and then turned back and kept walking up the stairs. When I reached the top of the stairs I noticed the room I was looking at had no doors, no windows, and no old lady, but I could still hear her humming... This was my first paranormal experience.

Another time, I was going to bed around 8:30-9:00pm and just as I was nodding off felt as if I was being watched. So I peered over the edge of my blankets into the middle of my room. The shadows on the wall at the back of my room were all moving quite wildly and began to take a shape of something. I blinked once and standing in the middle of my room was a very tall man, about 6 feet tall with glasses, wearing white but seemed rather distorted. He did not look away nor blink and I didn't either... this was quite frightening for me as I was home alone and didn't know what to do.... so I covered my head with my blanket for about 15 minutes and when I dared to look out again he was gone. A week later down to 30 minutes of when this happened, my aunt died... I believe there to be a strong correlation, my aunt was also very psychic, especially when it came to family.

The last 2 times have been in the last few months..... and just consist of entities entering my apartment and me guiding them to the light... nothing too big, and I've come to expect them now so its not such a "big deal."

Does anyone know how to improve their clairvoyance?

I've seen spirits subjectively (in my minds eye) very very often.
I've heard spirit music, and smelled odors objectively (as if it was really happening outside myself).
I have felt physical sensations and emotions communicated by spirits, and I've percieved words communicated by them. The perception of words is most peculiar, for me it is not really like hearing - either the words are in my mind or it is as if I am going to say them as if they are putting words in my mouth.

I know these perceptions are caused by spirits because I've taken classes in mediumship and my classmates verified they recognized the spirits I saw as deceased relatives. The places I felt sensations were the same areas that were diseased and caused their relative's death. One was a musician who played the type of music I heard, another was named Rose who made me smell roses etc. etc.

I've described some of my experiences here:

I've described a method of developing clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, precognition etc. here:

Welcome to the board, Krizpi.
I've never had any encounter with spirits or anything similar. Maybe Kim here on board can help you more on that issue.

Anyway, as a general rule I believe that meditation can help you develop the clairvoyance skill, although I do not understand why you connect clairvoyance to spirits.

Also, what do you mean when you say that you guide them to the light?

Many mental mediums (like the ones on tv) see spirits the in their mind's eye. This is a form of clairvoyance (subjective clairvoyance). When I was in mediumship class I would see spirits this way. I would ask them to show me scenes from their life and they would show me things like where they worked, the house they lived in etc. I would ask them to show me what things they did with the person getting the reading and I'd see them at the movie theater on a date etc. All of this was verified by the person getting the reading.

UPDATE:
Seeing spirits outside yourself in the environment when other people don't is called objective clairvoyance.

I also have a page on "guiding spirits to the light"

although I would be very interested in hearing how krizpy86 does it.

I know this is frightening, I'm sure I'd be scared too although I haven't seen spirits standing in front of me like this (only subjectively in my minds eye). However I know from hearing about the experiences of other people at Spiritualist churches that many people have experiences like this, it's frightening, but in this type of situation there is a very, very low probability of danger. I suspect risk of having a heart attack from your own fear is much greater than any harm coming to you from the spirit.

This is one of the unfortunate consequences of our cultural attitudes to spirits. They make good faith efforts to communicate with us and we react with terror! (Everyone, please never tell your children scary ghost stories, boycott scary movies about ghosts or demons etc. That type of thing is just as bad, does just as much harm, as racism.)

If you are able, there is one thing I wish you would try the next time you see a spirit objectively. Would you be able to approach the spirit and see how close you can get and take a really good look close up? I think it would be interesting to know: can you see the weave in their clothing, the pores in their skin, individual hairs etc things like that. It might also be interesting to try to speak to the spirit aloud and/or just through your mind. Ask them who they are, why they are visiting you, if there is some way you can help them, if they want to tell you something, etc.

If anyone else on this board has done something like this with spirits they see objectively I would be very interested to read about your experiences if you would post them here.

If you are frightened it may help to imagine divine white light of love and healing filling the room and blessing you and the spirit. I don't know why this works it may just be a psychological trick that affects your attitude but it does seem work. The spirit should pick up on your change in attitude, (if not psychically at least from your facial expression and body language) and that will affect the spirit too and help with communication.

If you get really scared try to mentally send this message to the spirit with as much mental force as you can so that it completely fills your mind and so you have no attention left for awareness of fear: "GOD LOVES YOU. ASK HIM FOR HELP AND HE WILL SEND SOMEONE TO YOU HELP. ACCEPT THIS HELP, FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE, AND IT WILL IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS YOU FIND YOURSELF IN." Shout this over and over in your mind until you are no longer afraid. Young children should be taught to do this when they are afraid of the dark or monsters in the closet or under the bed. Learning to love and help those who frighten you is a very important lesson in spiritual development.

Thats the thing, I don't know how I did it, it just happened.. Those 2 experiences I described are the only 2 I've experienced. I would like to try to learn to control this and have been experimenting with certain mind-sets while meditating. Imagining myself more open to these experiences should make myself more open to them in the long run. If anyone has techniques regarding this I'd really like to hear them..

Thanks!

I have been with spirits throughout my life (including right now o.o). Though i cant see them like i use to, which was VERY RARELY (sometimes i didnt know if they were ghosts, vistors, or figments of my imagination.) but anyways.. on to my stories xD. My first home, which i lived in for about 11 years, was haunted. i had lived there my entire childhood. My first encounter with spirits was one that i cant remember, but one that my mother could. apperently, there was a huge earthquake that knocked down everything in my house; TV, pictures, pictures, toys.... my mother scrambled to get everyone out of the house.. then she realizes, she forgot me! (i was like 0-1 years old at the time) i was in my crib under a large pictures with a huge wooden frame. when she ran to me, she noticed that everything in the house had fallen down... except that large picture. it was the one of the only things that didnt fall. my mother believes an "angel" saved me... (hear that, im holy xD )

but yeah, here are the ones i can remember: age=3-4 i was playing in my room, looked up and saw 2 old people looking at me, one was a lady, the other was either a lady or a man, i forgot... however, they were talking and laughing while watching me play around. i cant remember how they looked like, since i saw them for about 5 secs.

age= 5-6 i woke up with my brother, and went to the kitchen for a drink. as a walked past the living room, i saw 2 bright blue women sitting on the floor. i "quietly" freaked out and went into the kitchen, after we left, i looked back into the living room to discover that no1 was there....

there have been many account of my old house... but now to my current house, which is also haunted... xD
note: i havent seen this spirit yet (not visual anyways)-- my mother, and 2 sisters saw a women walk to our bathroom. i havent seen this women yet, but i have seen "puffs of smoke" at random times when im in the bathroom. they are usually 3 meters or so off the ground, and last for about 1 second.

Glowing dots- i see these fairly often (but not really currently) i see little dots glow for a seconf, then disapear... my sister actually saw one "up-close". it flew past her and entered one of my sisters room...

here is something i dont understand...: in my house are many wooden doors with the actual wood on them. STRANGELY, the wood curves and stuff makes faces on the doors... if i wanted to, i could count all the faces i can see on our doors, which i ahev done for the bathroom (its like 15) also, it shows FULL BODIES(for some), not just the faces. so yeah, it may be my crazy imagination.

there are more ghosts, but heres a list of our "spirit" guests:

old house: 2 old ladies, 1 old man

new house: a "black" (completely black, not features) man, and "black" girl, the lady that likes to get "cleaned-up" (puts make-up on, fixes hair... aka, bathroom ghost) then the mysterous (only partially seen twice) wedding girl; a little girl in a wedding dress. of this ghost, i have only seen the very bottom right corner of her dress.

so yeah... thats a small wrap up of my ghost filled life... xD

ty for reading my post (which should be a topic xD )

I have been able to sense energies, smell odours, see spirits since I encountered my mothers ghost one night. I've encountered Demons. To be exact the worst I encountered was what is known as the angel of death. im certain as i thoroughly researched and encountered him in his physical form for a brief moment. he was attempting to seduce a female friend of mine. She said he spoke to her, saying how she reminded him of Lilith the princess of hell. Though I feel he did not mean me harm, like i have noticed through my life i have had quite a number of brushes with death. yet i have somehow avoided my demise.

anyone who has greater knowledge on such spirits, i would appreciate some insight. i've also had visions of people death before people have died including my mother. i have been seeking to better train and improve my abilities for quite sometime, even with the scrutiny i have faced.

I started seeing ghosts when we moved into our house in 1999. 1st ghost experience: I was unpacking boxes in the basement rec room. I suddenly saw a semi-see-thru man sitting on the couch only a few feet away from me. He told me his name was George Yochum. I freaked out and ran up the stairs...only I don't think my feet touched the stairs.

Since then I've seen or spoken to ghosts (or they talk to me) in many places, my house, the grocery store, a bar, a friend's house, and in a cemetary. I'm sure I look weird talking to something that nobody else can see.

At first it was disturbing but now I've basically gotten used to it. I just don't like it when they startle me because I was absorbed in what I was doing and then "wham" there they are.

However, this bit frightens me a lot: Late ast spring I was awakened because I was being pulled off the foot of my bed. Something I couldn't see had grabbed my feet and was pulling me up and over the footboard. I awakened when the footboard reached the middle of my calves. I freaked and didn't sleep the remainder of that night. Since then I sleep with a night light...EVERY night...without fail.

And lately shadow people have started watching me sleep. I've awakened twice to see them watching me...then they slowly disappear. First time a man figure standing between my bedroom windows and my bed. The second time a man figure with his hand holding up his head with his elbow on the top of my chest of drawers. In front of him was a shorter little girl figure. I don't know if they are "guardians" or if one of them was the one that tried to pull me off the bed.

Um, if I may. Treat ghosts/spirits the same as you would a living person. After all they are human...just not physical anymore.

Don't try to get too close to them without asking permission first. After all you wouldn't want a "stranger" to get really close to you to stare at the pores in the skin on your nose. That would interfere with your comfort zone. They probably wouldn't like it either.

Just talk to them. Normally there is a reason why they are there. If you can hear them then have a conversation. You may be able to help them. If you can only see them then at least tell them of the ways they can be helped.
