Yeah, I understand how that works all too well. I had a friend who's house wasn't exactly haunted, but he'd be randomly outside and come back with scratches on his back. It was more outside. In his backyard. It's covered in trees, there are neighbors and small, abandoned sheds and buildings dotted around.
I've also been told by him and his three younger siblings that once I started visiting and walking around with them in the woods and on their property, that the hauntings, noises, and them seeing things went away.
Prob bc my friend was the only one to not get blessed or baptized last. Now he's not told me anything other than his normal life so far.
CRAZY STUFF XD

If I remember right, they'd say they hear babies/dolls crying. They'd see strange figures with top hats or something. I think my friend told me he felt really hot sometimes and I think he got possessed a few times because he claimed to have had REEEEALLY strange "dreams" or "visions" (this I've been having for a long time as well, so I know how that stuff works).
(Also, I believe "Deja Vu" is somehow a part of spiritual connections. Someone trying to warn you/remind you of something important.)
I think his sister also told me he'd randomly walk outside and into the backyard at night (and like I said earlier he'd come back with scratches)...
They also had their house blessed...They now have this problem under control and I'm happy for them

Wow, yeah, crazy stuff for sure!
The visions and things can either be from God or from Satan, and Satan can be pretty convincing. In short, if it's creepy and weird, it ain't from God.
Something interesting to know is that demons will shape themselves to reflect what your cultural view of them may be in order to manipulate you how they want, which for some includes appearing as angels of light (like BigBlueHen53 mentioned) or even as Saints, but it's usually creepy things. BUT, demons and Satan can't maintain one steady image, so if a so-called angel or good-something appears to you but their image is shifty, it's not an angel, nopity nope, that's a good way to tell.
I agree that DeJaVu has something to do with spirituality, but I'm not sure that I would think it's someone trying to contact us. Usually any form of true contact would be very clear (example, Saints appearing in visions or in concrete form to have discussions with monastics on Mount Athos in Greece is not super rare - and apparently they often leave behind a really lovely scent). But there are any number of things it could really be.

I feel the "feels more like an ailment than a gift" - I have a chronic illness and fatigue, and it's my cross to bear. It's definitely an ailment, but I'm convinced that God will use it as a gift eventually! Especially given that it's changed my life so dramatically from anything I ever wanted. Forced character development!

this is going to sound...bad...but can my "cross to bear" consist of my heavy mind and my lack of sleep

It can certainly be a burden that you need to shoulder through!

YEA yea I've heard this before!! This reminds me, though, I've spoken with, as I believe, my GrAnDpArEnTs?! Like AFTER they died?! I don't understand, like, HOW, though!
It was through, I guess, a "vision"... they said things like they're proud of me and that I shouldn't be as heart broken as I was (and still am, really)...MaYbE I just need to hear others' opinions??

It can happen, technically. Often times however, any appearance of loved ones is simply the remnant of a spirit that clung to them during their life and has returned to cause chaos, give false hope, lead people astray, etc. You will likely get a lot of widely differing answers, because even within Christianity, there is a lot of variance on what beliefs people may hold on exactly what happens to the soul and how it may or may not interact with this world.
In Orthodoxy, we believe that people who have died are still alive in Christ, and that we can call upon them (usually Saints, specifically) to ask for their prayer (it's like asking your friend to pray for you - you aren't asking the dead person to do anything as if they had power, just to pray for you), which is seen very differently by most modern denominations. And we have a lot of accounts of Saints appearing to certain monastics. Usually however, such things only happen to those who have spent decades pursuing oneness with Christ. And usually the people appearing to them are people who spent their lives devoting themselves similarly (hence part of why they are Saints. Saints are just normal people, but devoted themselves to God in spectacular ways).
What seems like good things CAN come from demons. If that had happened to me, even if the interaction seemed to be something that was for a good reason (comforting you, etc), I would assume that it was just a demon playing tricks.

Well son of a fiddle stack!! Those gosh darn demons playing tricks on me again XD well no matter what I KNOW for a FACT that my grandparents thought of me very highly. Plus, any further prof would have to be the time my grandmother told me herself that grandpa thought highly of me and so did she. Coming straight from her, from her mouth is MORE than enough prof for me to know it's true and will ALWAYS be true

Even if you definitely can't trust sketchy visions, you can trust the words that came from their mouths when they were alive! Just remember all those lovely things they said to you and did with you, let that comfort you.

 

[N3mesis_IceWing_NightWing]

Yeah, same here.
I’m always curious to hear people’s stories, just because I’m trying to wrap my tiny brain around this crazy world, but it never strikes me with fear, or anything!

Happy you can feel this way, ChickenGirl
It's good to be almost nothing but positive and outgoing

I have another, I guess, half question half statement...
Is it bad/weird that I can force my mind to hear sounds or see things? Even if I haven't exactly heard those things before? It's hard to explain, but does this make ANY sense at all to ANYONE?
