I have enjoyed the past few threads about ghost but, I seem to notice a lot more negative encounters than good ones.
When I was living on my families farm, I had an encounter with a ghost who had died in the 1890's hes brother had died on our property in the 1860's and he was trying to find him. We talked for months and even built a friendship of sorts.
I was wondering how many of you have had positive experiances with a ghost.
I wish I could say that I have. I want to commend you on a very good topic. There has been a bit too much gloom and fright when it comes to spirits.
I have. Years after my grandfather died, I saw him in a mirror at my grandmother's house. It was in the room he died in. He didn't say anything but just smiled at me and faded from the mirror. I've never gotten quite as depressed over him since now that I have that experience to think about.
I have had a positive encounter with my Grandmother's spirit. She appeared not long after she died. The feeling I got was that she was reassuring me that she was ok....and no longer in pain.
I had quite a few good experience with my grandfather's spirit. He helped me through a lot of rough times in like life when I was younger; when I felt that I could not turn to anyone to listen, understand, he was there for me. I do miss that.
I am not sure if this counts:
I had another thread about a presence you sometimes see in the corner of your eye.
The last time I had this occurance, the presence lingered. I can't say if it was good or not. I do believe that there are beings that are here to protect you, so that is what I have chosen to believe.
There are definately beings sent to protect you...I have seen things everywhere, just glimpses, of things that were beautiful, smiling, and I knew they were there to protect me.
I can't say that I have. All the times I have had incounters which is a lot they always seem negative and I think they just don't like me. They follow me, I can sometime hear, see, feel, or all three but most cases I think I have learned to block them out
I lost my sister in law and my 2 year old niece in a plane crash about 14 years ago. I know that they watch over me and my family... I can sometimes hear my niece laughing and smell my sister in laws favorite perfume(which I couldn't stand by the way) sometimes I think they help me when I have come to the end of my what I think I can do and give me an extra boost so that I can finish whatever needs to be done.
I have had several good experiences. My fathers mother often visited me when i was younger and one of the spirits who occupied a previous residence of mine simply stayed because she loved the house. Both of these spirits were friendly and I never had problems w/ them.
only have had one meeting with a ghost positive or other wise. late one night i was walking home from he store on a run to get smokes cause my car was busted. my best childhood friend pulled up beside me in his old beat up green truck. told me i should not be out walking bymyself after mid-night. scared the crap out of me cause he been dead for over 5 years!!! always wishi would of had the guts to take the ride
yes, I have had positive experiences with spirits. I have lost most of my family & have visits from them quite often.
I have mentioned a couple of times that I walk away from a train wreck.
I like to think there was a guiding force to me getting to safety.
When my daughter was about nine years old she was walking to school as she crossed the street she felt somone push her out of the way of a moving car. When she looked there was noone to be found. I like to think it was my mother, I dont know what or who it was for sure.
My fiance and I were laying in bed once, just talking after having watched a movie. We noticed that there were these orbs of light just sort of floating around. Then we saw his Aunt Julie (whom I never had the pleasure of meeting). She was smiling at us.
The two of us had been going through a tough time (he was very depressed), but after she visited things started looking up. He had told me that she had never came to him before, no matter how many times he asked her to do so. He said that she just wanted to finally meet me and that he was definitely sure that I had her approval.
So heres a question why is it most that have posted to this particular thread has had at least one good encounter but i seem to have none but bad are there those of us out there that are just magnets from them
@rayvyn: In a way we are all magnets for energies/spirits and the polarity of our expirence is determined by out inner energy and the other spirit's agenda. So if a friendly spirit wants help from you, or to offer you help there is positive energy on both sides of the equasion. If you are full of negative energy, or you anger the spirit or it's already angry it will turn out negative. So when you have an encounter, just try to raise positive energy. It may just be enough to help prevent bad encounters. That the way I look at it anyway.

i have had a few when i've seen my relatives after they have passed on they would come to tell me its ok to let them go. and it was very calming.
I myself have not really had too many encounters with spirits (I don't like the term ghosts, sorry) but I believe part of the reason so many people only share negetive experiences with spirits is because it is natural to focus on negetive experiences, as people tend to remember them more easily. I think another big reason is because to the person the experience was negetive because they do noy understand the encounter, it is new adn therefore, can be frightening. As an example of what I mean look at the movie "The 6th Sense". The kid was scared out of his mind when he saw the spirits until he figured out what they wanted, once he understood the encounters he was no longer afraid, and it was no longer a negetive experience.
I have had positive encounters with loved ones, shortly after they passed away. Usually to relay a message to my family.
I did have experiences of the divine feminine recently. She often mad her presence felt in a playful manner. The one time I saw her, she was clothed in a light blue shift/toga with silver ropes holding it on and flowing golden hair.
Tasslhoff,
I agree woth you whole heartedly.
I use the term ghost simply because it is more prevelant in society.
A good deal of what we experiance comes directly from what we expect.
For example in pain relief, just upon the idea that you may get something for pain your pain level will drop 20%
When I went to 4-h camp a few years back I saw the spirit of a young boy. It was our last night and evreyone one had gathered around the huge lake there. We each lit a candle and set it in the water to just watch it float out as a sort of ritual. When I was leaning over to set mine in I noticed the outline of a young boy with light blond hair wearing a blue shirt and a pair of shorts. He looked no older than around twelve om tje glow of the torch light were he was crouched just watching the water and sort of staring off into space. He vanished soon after and I noticed that no one around had seen him at all. Later in the dorm my leader told us the story of how a little boy had drawned in the same river that used to be used for swiming. His presecne didn't send me a negative meaning nor a realy positive one either. I think it was just an apperance to show that he was there and was with us. I think maybe he might have wanted to give me the message that I still exsisted in this word and no matter how much people ignored me I had the right to live. Or at least thats what I felt.
every experience with a ghost ive ever had was a lil creepy, but never negative. mostly im just being observed
well ive only had one good encounter with a ghost but i wuz yung and at that moment didnt even kno it waz a ghost. she ended up being my grandmother and we talked for hours on end then she disapeared and i havent seen her since. my mother says my grandma wanted to get to kno me b4 she died but i wuzent born yet. i think she came to visit me just that one time as to not corupt my life any further.
My pop died 4 yrs ago on the 16th of november, and about a year later my ol man fell asleep and a ciggeret was totaly burning a whole in the floor, and all the suddent the TV flipped on to a static channel, and He heard and i heard WAKEUP it was totaly my grandpas voice. If we haddent woke up that night we would have all been dead. My pop- boogouldoogowoogles, saved my butt, from just acrooss the viel. He was a atheist .. i wish we cold have had a conversation and found out how hes doin.
i've had enough expirience with both encounters and i dont like the negative ones cuz they always end up trying to kill me or harm my family so i just let the ghosts and lonely spirits come to me from now on....
MY friend died in a car accident a few years ago and shortly after that he poped in to say goodbye. I woke up and he was standing at the foot of my bed.
My positive experience was when I was 3 1/2 to 5 years old in a house built in the 40s near the ocean in Del Mar, California (north part of San Diego).... my bedroom was at the end of the hallway and I would wake up, and look down the hallway to see a set of glowing eyes 'walk' down to me, and I always had the sense of a head looking down at me an the eyes would still glow and look at me...I never was frightened nor tried to run away, just knew I was being looked after - a secure feeling.

Ahhh.. a set of glowing eyes in the dark looking at me? I think that would have been a little freaky...
I'd be concerned that they weren't looking after me so much looking at me like I was steak....
i used to cam with 3 VR members...
I never saw anything or even feel anything...but, all of them told me about a presence near me...
They even had describe it...and the 3 agree with the same description...
I still cant see/feel...
I was brought up in a house that was haunted. i never felt that the spirit was malevolent, and on one occasion - when i was a teenager - i was suffering with a really bad eye infection which just got worse. then, during the night i saw a vision of a shrouded old woman walk up to me and pass her hand over my eyes, and i instantly fell asllep. in the morning my eye was completely healed, and there was no sign there had been anything wrong.
Ghosts... here we go,
Ghosts, by all nature, are things that one should not deal with. Sorry, I live on an island where things that go bump in the night is a common occurance.
Most the time, these bumps, aren't bad, yet there are those out there that make individual go about killing everyone in the place and then, goes about killing themselves once the deed is done.
Not all are bad, true, yet, last thing you want to do is meet the bad one.
- Sin
in the seed is the nature of the tree concealed
and in the tree revealed
flowers draw butterflies
blood calls sharks
rot calls flies
this is the triad that determines the nature of the manifestation
offering
god
blessing
this is the triad
that governs action and consequence
no one really believes me on this but when i was 3 i saw my uncle. he smiled at me and then walked into the wall.
also i have met this ghost name is amber she is a really great ghost. she was raped and killed, so was she sister. sisters name was ashley. its wierd because i know two sisters named ashley and amber. anyways i was protected by amber her sis dont like me for some reason but yeah i really dont want to get into it ashley gets mad and appears everytime i do.
I think a lot of the negative feelings towards spirits or whatever you want to call them has a lot to do with fear. I admit that any encounter I have had scared me half to death because I didn't really know how to go about handling it otherwise. Maybe if I just chilled out and took some time to understand what was going on then it might make for a more positive experience.
When I was young I was swimming in a lake and almost drown, yet I felt something or someone like push me to the surface and one of the parents seen me and I looked to see if any one was there and they said no. later I learned that a youth had drowned in the lake many years before, so I have always felt maybe it was the spirit of that child that saved me. I have not ever gone in the lake again.... So.. who is to say..I just know I am here today because of it.
I have had a few encounters with spirits & you know this to be true xzavier because you have been with me on several occasions...My most recent one was last year when i kept seeing my great grandfathers walking around in walmart where i used to work. i think in a weeks span i saw him on 3 separate occasions. Its made me feel more comfortable about his death & how hes foing in the afterlife
most unfortunetly my encounters have only been negtive or sorrowful
OOOooooOooo
mememeeee!!!
(i like these threads!)
i spent the night before my 11th birthday away at a student conference with my family in a big old country hotel (Wortley Hall, Sheffield).
we'd stayed there before and although i guess it was a spooky gaff, nothing out of ordinary had occured.
Late that night the rest of my folks had gone for a drink in the bar. I stayed in our room with my most prized birthday present EVER - a small electric keyboard.
As i plinked away, it suddenly started to play 'Happy Birthday', as if it were a preset demo. I tried to figure out how it was happening, as the thing was very basic and only had 2 demos - bach and merry christmas.
Eventually i had to switch it off before anyone else got chance to hear, and though i tried for years i never got it to play that tune again.
it made a pretty dull birthday utterly unique and i felt very loved!
which was nice.
:)
If having your grandmother come visit you counts then I have.
Pleasent Nightmares, Rose (Blade)
i have, we have a store around here called 'Belks' im not sure of the width of the chain across the country but the first store orginated here, the family lived here, and died here. my buddy Dallas was well known with and by the late daughter, and we would occasionaly sit be side her grave, never saw her though, but Dallas said she said i was cute, lol j/k
Hm, not really a meet. I would see them and they would be gone. Sometimes they would cause a little trouble (harmless) but then its nothing.
i have had many positive experiances with spirits.
i mentionioned on another thread about spirits and or ghosts that me and some friends had some encounters with something at an indian burial ground near where we grew up. the spirits never seemed hostile actually they seemed to get enjoyment at our presence
I too have had many experiences with Spirits but never thought once it was a negative thing....even as a small child I somehow knew and understood what was happening never feeling afraid! My well thats a different story now thats scary.
I have had just a hanful of experiences...not all bad.....I sometimes see and hear my fiance and I know he is watching over me in a positive light
well on three different occasions i have experienced a ghost in my house all three times i happened to be asleep(yes i know weird). the first time it felt like some one was breathing on my neck and saying something but when i woke they were gone.
the second time ounce again i was sleeping and it felt like some one was trying to caress my cheek but as i woke he wasnt there. (i say he because the feeling i got from him i asume was male.) and the third time i was dreaming i was somewhere and i was going to go thrue a door and it felt like he was pulling me out. literaly he grabed me and pulled me out back from the door. at the moment it scared me because i emedieatley woke up but as i sit here and think about it all three accasions i felt rejuvinated like he was watching me and telling me that he loved me. to this day i still have no idea who he is. I havnt seen/felt him in a while.
when i try to meditate i get tgis feeling that someone is there offen times i see him in my minds eye all of the times i have seen this one have ben negative. i realy dont like him. when i tryed to see what he wanted i got the feeling like he was trying to hurt me in some way so in order to get him to leave i cleansed my whole house. but now that i have done sop my room feels empty.
I've had many, I'll mention a few different types:
Once a group of friends in Ventnor, NJ had a older victorian home that had a very unhappy lot of ghosts in it, all from the same period. A woman, haunted one room, sometimes appeared without eyes, or looked like she was searching, and sent the female in that rom dreams about needing help, in the room across the hall, a little girl ghost was seen, and another living roomie was sent dreams of that little girl crying, a man outside her window on the ground street outside (this roomie would also dream of the man whistling outside the window on the street below- apparently he had been casing the mother and daughter), and the mother coming in that room in anger and distress...this living roomie often felt like she was being choked in her bed. The next occupant in a room next door, which actually was under a 4th floor crawl space had issues with sleeping well in that room at all. In that 4th flr crawl space, people who slept in it during parties were often struck with nightmares about violent deaths, and the basement had a strange horrid stench wafting from it when ppl were down there alone.
I slept in the room under the crawl space...I also has experiences on that floors hall and bathroom, lights going on and off on their own, and a peewee herman doll attached to a cord for a hall light swinging by itself. The night I slept in that room, I dream about the woman and child, they had lived there, no husband, I think she was widowed....
They went out one day and came home unknowingly to a male intruder who had broken in the house and had hid in the crawl space...that night as they went to sleep, he came out (a left over residual is that at about 2 am you will hear footstpes coming down the 3rd floor steps, that stops at each door and turns the knobs), and proceeded to kill the little girl in front of the mother who was tied up and had to watch this horrid act. The mother went insane with grief, and killed herself later one, but the mystery was that the body of the little girl was never found.
I told the mother that the man had done it, in my dreams, that the little girl was here, and that they could reunite and go into the light...that it wasn't her fault, and that she needed to be at peace. I also saw that, in my dreams, the man had taken the body of the little girl to the basement.
The next day I told the lot of my friends what the case was, and that if they should decide to dig up the basement, they would find the body of the little girl, but that the woman and child were gone. I asked if they had researched the history of the home for clues to identities. My one friend said city records gave no soldi evidence but a church record referred to the woman and her child, something about a deed to a family name, but then all future records were missing.
Needless to say. ..after that they had no more dreams.
The other that comes to mind of a good experience is my mothers parents, both of which died 11 years and a day to one another. My grandfather went first, then grandmom, both appeared to me in dreams at the moments they were dying, to deliver messages, say bye, and comfort me. Sometimes in dreams, the last being when I was about to give brith to my daughter, they came back in a nother dream to tell me they were proud of me, and my fiance, that they knew it was a little girl, and that they would be around to guard her.
I love those dreams...I know they're happy.
I've had a couple but heres just one
This one time me and my friends went camping in these woods around Shilo Civil War Park, and i saw a fox so i went to chase it, well i followed it for about 30 minutes or so, as i started to walk back i lost, as i looked around i saw a guy wearin a confederate uniform and he started to walk off, so i followed him, he led me to our campsite, and as i approached him, he just faded out, my friends were asleep and didnt believe that a spirit had helped me out!!!
I have pictures of orbs that when you focus in on them it is either my grandmother or grandfather....and they both protect me...so I do have positive experiences
I have had a positive experiance with a spirit in My old house. I never actually talked with her, but I did know when she was around. she always liked putting a hand on My right shoulder to let Me know
all of my experiences have been pretty positive so far. all except maybe 3 or 4 of them.
I have had alot of positive encounters and most conversations between a spirit lasted and hour or more!!! Most do, I admit I did meet a couple that were anxious and overwhelmed so they got a little more difficult than others, but most of them were positive!!!
Well I have had many experinces being native we do what is called a sweat lodge and we pray to our ancesstors who have passed before us. We call them spirit guides. So with that comes experiences of seeing things as well as smelling things or having a sense of ones touch who isnt there to the eye but in spirit. All these have been positive for me.
I've had good ones,bad ones (or at least not so good ones) & "neutral" ones.
But,Spirits are people to.
They seem to be more or less of the same mind set & personality as when they were physical to us.
So,why wouldn't the experience vary from one encounter to another?
It is so good to read about all of the positive experiences of this post. Honestly, i know that ghosts and spirits exist and they walk among all of us. Yet, no matter how hard i have tried to extend myself to them, none have welcomed my friendship. Perhaps, i have offended them unknowingly. If anyone has thoughts of suggestions, please please im all ears.

OKay Im kinda feeling like Im coming out of the closet with this bit of truth.
I've always been protected and watched by people of the spirit realm. When I was born, and very little my parents lived in a house in Camdon, NJ that was said to be the home a departed soul. Always my mother would say that the upstares would smell of roses..
but mostly in the room where my crib was. Odd things where noted of happening when I was left alone in my room at night...and My grandfather has told of snaping pictures of the house and seeing faces in the windows of my room...
Growing up I've seen shadows.
And Have my guardians.
And to this very day, I still have them, they are just no longer "dead"
*skips the reincarnation speal*
I had one at first. It started out just hearing him, then soon seeing him and feeling him. Then as I grew up I got used to having another voice to talk too. Then Came my second Guardian. Who I guessed didnt get the memo that I could both see and hear him and was kinda thrown aback.
At this moment of my life my talent of sight has shown me many things...But as always my guardians have stayed at my sides...
Thank you Boys!
Well they do say that 80% of all encounters are in a negative way...
That may just be how each individual reacts to them.. I grew up in a house my Great Grandfather had build in the late 1800's it has been haunted ever since I can remember until my his daughter my grand mother past away a few yrs ago...I can remember many instences where the ghosts that lived there where saying hello in there own way.. sometimes not to your liking but with no real harm intended.. The front porch swing still swings on it own at about 10 pm.. each night.. which was my Grand parents time to relax and watch the fireflies at night..
I have had many experiences with them! Some good & some bad! At a very hard point in my life, the day just seemed to be falling apart! On that day, I saw my grandfather! He just kinda smiled & I knew what he wanted me to know, then he was gone! I haven't seem him since! I've also had weird experiences in my old house & the one I'm living in now! These times it seems like they just want attention & want to be recognized! I don't see them, except occassionally out of the corner of my eye! Mostly something weird will happen, like cabinet doors opening, dresser drawers falling out, lights blinking, just simple things like that! So, yeah I know a little weird, but I usually just recognize them for it, & it all stops! I don't really think that they mean me any harm....it's almost like they are lonely & bored! In my old house, I moved out at one point & then went back! While I was gone, my mom is very religious, she went around the house & did some prayer in all the rooms! When I came back I didn't feel them anymore, I never asked her, I just could tell they weren't there anymore! One day she finally told me what she had done, so I guess it had to have worked! I moved out, well cause we couldn't get along! I was only gone about a year or less, but when I came back we got along really good! It made me wonder if it was because she had cleaned the house, but I never felt like they were there to harm me! I kinda liked having them around!
in some old houses.. if you look at old negatives you can see figures .. I am not sure if this is true on all cases but with my families house it is
once, i've heard a story about a benevolent ghost who appeared in a military hospital. this ghost made alot of signals for the patients in a particular ward to get out of the room and to follow her. the patients obeyed her and soon after everyone went out of the ward, a bomb hitted part of the ward.
i have only ever had positive expieriences with spirits.
i remember looking after my friends daughter one night and waking to a unfamiliar presense in my house, i have no idea why but i thought it best to check on the sleeping child, as it turned out, the baby (who suffers from sleep apnoea) had stopped breathing. if the spirit hadnt alerted me to this, the child would have passed away.
mine have always been bad. My family has been iffy. Glad to see not all are bad tho
I had an experence years back at a set of caves in calif that were preprted to have been haunted by miners that died in an accident,a small group of us back in boy scouts were exploring and were about to go into a shaft and without warning were "shoved"back by what appeared to be 3 older men wearing very old clothes,noone spoke but would not allow us to pass.returning with opur scout master we examined the ara to find what was thought to be solid floorng was indeed not and we would have fallen to our deaths,not all "ghosts are bad ones,be well
I have only had positive experiences with spirits. There was a screamer once, but she was never violent.
I have felt the presence of something good, I just got an overwhelming rush of pure love. I would like to think it was a family member that had died.
In my fathers old house. There was a little girl... It was quite sad really. She had died of Luekemia. Mother wanting to keep her at home they had had a nurse and all. Poor little girl... We became good friends when I was younger. Except she loved slamming the living room door shut in the middle of the night when i was sleeping if she couldn't get to sleep.
It is true that there are positive spirits out there. I have had several but the one that always stays with me is my encounter with a young mother who had died giving birth to her son. She would tell me of her comings and goings from her house where she would watch over her son Tray grow up and where she would comfort her husband who she had left behind through energy. She and I had grown a strong friendship in a few weeks and she would look after me and give me advice when my own mother would be out late night partying. The young mother had been my own for about 2 months, without her there I would have most likely done something stupid in the absence of my real mother.
I have had only one bad experience in my life the rest have been good and positive experiences... wicked kisses and blessed be... darla...
Well I have had my share of ghost experiences. Some good and some not so good. The ones that were good was after the death of my grandfather we could still feal his presence after he was gone. Little things would happen to keep his memory alive. I have also had experince were a sent will come across me or a touch that appears to be none threatening.
I have had both good and bad ones. The good ones were when loved ones died. I could feel them or quickly see them but then they would go away. Others would not leave no matter what I did
The possitive encounters I have had mainly have been with family members. Only a few have been threatening.
there is a little girl ghost who resides in my house.
her name is sara.
she died there in the 60's from an accident which involved a fire.
she talks to me all the time.
her room, was now my room.
she is actually quite friendly.
the only problems she gives me is when she starts communicating with me at 3 in the morning when i have work the next day.
or when she hides my keys.
she thinks she's hilarious.
the onley positive meeting i have is with close friends and family that havve past on
I've got a ghost in my house but im not sure how to contact him.
He seems to have a thing for electricity and appliances too but i don't think he is a poltergeist
When i was much younger, i had a little girl who lived in the room of my house, we became good friends, and she wasn't an imaginary friend, she was a spirit. Not that anyone believed me at the time. I still visit her from time to time, though i have long since moved out and gotten a place away from the rest of my family.
*sheepish grin* srry bout that it wasn't loading so i kept clicking.
I envy those who can say they have been visited by a loved one who has passed. I never have and I desperately want to see my dad. I try to meditate, to focus on his energy and allow myself to connect but it never happens. To those of you who have connected...you are very blessed.
I think a lot of ghosts tend to me more mean then nice
The experience that immediately comes to mind happened only two nights ago. Living in another country for university, I haven't seen my family or pets in over a months. Over the weekend one of my cats died. He had problems breathing in life and therefore had a very distinctive wheeze. On Saturday night (more like Sunday morning) I was getting ready for bed when I heard wheezing. It sounded just like Ollie. I'm sure some people will say that I imagined it because I wanted him to still be alive or to at least have a chance to say goodbye, but I believe that he came for one last farewell.
My uncle comes around every once in a while. It's always a good experience--he has always been a really cool guy & he's always looked out for me.
Casper is not the only friendly Ghost. I had as a child what were then called imaginary friends. Were they actually
positive spirits from the old house we lived in? One can only hope.
What a wonderfull thread. Although I have no positive experience to speak of, I am glad to see so many good ones out there. Maybe one day, I too will have a positive experience to share.
Does the spirit of a loved one count as a ghost? I have been visited several times by my first love and the encounters have all been good ones.
I have had several experiences with ghosts... some good and bad.... One is extremely vivid. My cousin knew exactly when and how he was gonna die... And he told me, he even wrote the date on the calender.. He died exactly on that day just the way he said he would...
We were very close.. Now I see him all the time and he is just like watching over me and there is a sense of peace . He warns me in a way when something is going to happen..
I have definately experienced both negative and positive ghost sightings. As a child we lived with in an apartment where an elderly gentleman by the name of Samuel died. He use to play with my brother and I, watch over us when we were in the bath, even when we were sick, my clearest memory of him was of him bringing my cough syrup to me and tucking me back into bed.
So there are definately positive ghosts think the more negative are earthbound by choice, although thats my opinion only.
Blessings

A great-aunt of mine got a phone call one evening that had a lot of static. She said hello a few times then the line cleared and she heard her husband say I love you and I'm ok. Her husband had died about 3 weeks before.
I have several times with ones who just didn't ecept thier death and weren't threatening.
I wish I could say that there were more positive encounters for me than negative, but that would not be the case. I have had a few positive or at least none threatening ones.
I've never had a ghost experience but im sure that if i would it wouldnt be postive because i would freak out to much. :P
I gotta tell ya, every time as been positive, i get alot of guidence from the ones that have gone beyond.....mostly family.....but there is one that seems to watch over me....
Up until I read this thread, I would have been able to stand here and tell you I have never, ever had an encounter with a spirit. But after reading some of these posts, I'm not too sure.
I used to pull some pretty dangerous all-night driving stints. I considered myself "Queen of the Iron butt" I could drive for hours (like 20 hours at a time) and never even come close to falling asleep at the wheel. No matter how tired I was, falling asleep at the wheel was just not an option, and that was that.
One day last year, I was driving from Pitts to Phila, it was after four am, we were about 1/2 way to our destination, we had worked ourselves past the point of exhaustion on the house throughout the entire weekend.
The boys were both practicing the sleep of the dead, and I had to get them home for their jobs the next day. I was quite drowsy, and I'll admit, I felt myself start to phase out a few times.
The last time I felt I was phasing that night, I suddenly saw an arm and hand pointing urgently to the oncoming road ahead. I looked over and my b/f was asleep in his chair, and it was not his arm, he was asleep, and he does not have a very hairy arm and he does not wear a watch.
I saw nothing for about 30 seconds, and then I saw lights, and then I saw a van that looked very similar in style to my van had crashed and spun out on the road ahead. It was completely demolished. There was no way anyone could have survived.
I took that as a sign to get the HELL off the road and take a quick wolf-nap. Thankfully, I have not had to do distance driving under pressure since then. Also, I learned that I am not infallable. It only takes one time to have a devistating accident. I must have come very close to falling asleep at the wheel, and I will never try to risk that again.
i can safely say all meetings i have ever had with the other side have been positive in some way to me
I've had far more good experiences than I have bad ones. But like phoenixdarkraven
stated, they all have had some sort of effect on me that caused me to do something differently.
They really are serving their purpose, even the ones who seem negative.
