Greyeyes, how wonderful that your mother sent a message via someone that listened!

Several years ago I dreamed I was back in high school. I was talking on the phone with my friend when I suddenly remembered: "Rhonda, you're dead!" She had died just days prior to her 30th birthday, which disturbed me because I'm almost two months older. The dream disolved away and everything was very white. "Don't you know? I can visit the people I love any time I want!!!" I passed along her message as I belive she wanted.

I've talked to two friends after their suicides. The first was the day after. I passed along his message to his widow, then later mailed her a book because he asked. (That's a whole story by itself!) The second guy showed up in my dream about a year after he died by his own hand. I realized who I was speaking to and said, "Some of us are really angry at you for taking the coward's way out." He said, "I know. That's why I'm visiting you all to say I'm sorry." He smiled the best smile at me and added, "and I'm no longer in pain!"

Those that have passed on are not in pain. They are doing fine, they're in Heaven, for God's sake!

Within the last year I had a dream where my mother in law introduced me to her father. Grandpa told me a couple of stories while he held his daughter's hand. They shared a couple of jokes that went right over my head, then Grandpa told us his wife was watching over their other daughter (who was currently in the hospital). He explained that it wasn't neccessarily time for her to die, but no matter what they would be present to welcome their last two living children to Heaven when it was time. I hesitated to pass along the dream messages to mother in law, but DH encouraged me to tell her. My mother in law was thrilled! From the hand holding to the insider jokes, she knew what it all meant! Her sister is still with us and my MIL flew back to Japan to see her the month after my dream.

Sometimes it's nice to be the messenger.

Man I love this thread! I LOVE stuff like this, but I tend to think more on the scientific side of things so I want to know the WHY's and the WHAT's! I wish I had some cool stories to tell but alas I only have one;


Last year my boyfriend and I were driving from California out to our property in Northeast Arizona. It was our first time out there and we had decided to take the southern route because it was supposed to be prettier. There was a lot of mountain driving through the forests of the White Mountains (that's where we got our ranch name

). So we had been driving all day and most of the night and by now it was like 2 am, but we were almost there so we didn't want to stop yet. I was driving and we were going about 45 mph around the forest bends. All of a sudden we come around a bend and see this "thing" on the side of the road. It looked like a bear that had it's back facing towards us, but it's front legs up on a rock. OR a human hunched over with a big furry cloak on. I wasn't so much scared, but more intrigued as I wanted to find out what it was. I looked at my boyfriend and he looked at me and we both said "what the heck was that thing"!?! It wasn't moving just sitting there, but we did pass it quickly and it was dark so I dunno... I slowed down wanting to turn around to get a better look at it, but we were on a winding road and there was no where to turn around. I said aww screw it and we just kept going. The next day we were asking everyone in town if these hills had bears, everyone said NO! The more I thought about it, and thought about what it could have been, and what kind of animals live in the forest, the more scared I got. The "scariest" moment was about a year later when I was listening to KOGO and there was a program on that we were listening to, that was sorta like this thread. Well it had SEVERAL callers from THAT region of Arizona talking about this "thing" that has been running around and no one could figure out what it was. The worst part is that all of the callers described there "thing" JUST AS I HAD SEEN IT OVER A YEAR PRIOR!


Creepy!

My grandfather died of cancer when I was 12 years old- we were extremely close, and it was so devastating to me- -my grandmother had met a new friend at church and it didnt set right with the family or me-they were all furious, and felt as if he was taking grandaddys place- he had moved into a mobile home behind my grandfathers "home place"-
this happened in 2003- 6 years after grandaddy passed. I was 18 years old ,,,my (now) husband and I had laid down to sleep....

I had just laid down to go to sleep ( hubby was already sleeping) and i saw grandaddy standing at the foot of my bed- glowing in black and white- I kinda passed it off as my imagination running wild-kept glancing now and then and went on to sleep- I "dreamed" that he was standing there at the foot of my bed and he pointed across the railroad tracks that ran in front of my house to he and my grandmothers house where they raised all of their children- he pointed straight to the mobile home where "the friend" lived right behind that house, as if he didnt agree with it. he did not speak, but motioned me to follow him. We went outside and he pointed to all the rental houses that surrounded us that gramma had sold when he passed away, pointed to the store-where my uncle now runs, and we continued onto the RR tracks that ran parralel with my house- AS soon as we crossed the tracks the dream went into black and white mode. Everything except grandaddy was in color until this point-We went back to the homeplace and into his "collectible" room- where he kept his life long prized possessions- I am the only one who had the key besides him-I loved that room- (gramma sold it all when he passed)- we entered the room and he pointed at all of his nascar stuff- his guns, and everything was just as it was when he passed--nicely mounted on the wall- I remember it like it was yesterday- After he pointed-he let go of my hand-looked at me straight in the face and dissappeared into the corner of the room-everything went blank and I sat straight up in bed- I woke up crying and in a cold sweat in my bed across the street in my house. I jumped up and looked out the window at the homeplace and the light of his room was on briefly and went back out- I went to the bathroom to wash my face and looked down- my feet were muddy and cut from crossing the RR tracks.....

I have told this to my grandmother and my mother- grandma doesnt believe in ghosts- mama believes it all- She had a very similar "dream"- we even see him in her house every now and then. My son- who is now 1 year old will look up at the corner of the room and giggle for no reason. I truly think it is my granddaddy there playing with him.... I have never been able to figure out if this was real or not.....

I have one from this past weekend...

My boyfriend and I were in Monterey for my birthday, and he had gotten us a nice hotel room for the first night. When we got there the nice man at the front desk told us that he had accidentally overbooked and that he was sorry but he had to upgrade our room. BUMMER RIGHT? Man this room was gorgeous! Wood floors, jaccuzzi tub, king size bed, the whole she-bang. It was even the very last room so we only shared a wall with one other room.

Nothing strange or creepy about the room whatsoever. It was incredibly comfortable and after a long drive my boyfriend and i hit the deck and conked out HARD.

about 1:30 a.m. we were both awoken at the same time by a scratching noise in the wall. No big deal, probably mice. We were the last room so it would make sense if the dumpsters were on the outer wall. But the boyfriend got up and turned on the lights and checked anyhow. We kept hearing the scratching but found no holes in the walls or any reason to think the mouse could possibly be inside our room. We figured he must be in the walls, whatever. Back to bed.

at 2:30 am we were both awoken again, but this time not by an alarming noise, but a curious one.

Something- i swear to god- something was breathing heavily in our room. We sat there for a moment listening, and i deducted that it must be the guy in the next room snoring or something. We put our ears to the wall- nothing. Once again turned on all the lights and just sat in bed. It was clearly someone or something breathing. There is no other sound that sounds like a person in a deep sleep and thats what it was. Not snoring but very heavy breathing.. you know- when youre in dream land. We walkked around the room and only heard the noise when we were standing near or on the bed. I FREAKED but was exhausted. after about a half hour the breathing stopped and we both fell back asleep.


the next morning we woke up and packed our things to get a different room. No way we were staying in there again. As i was double checking every corner of the room to make sure i didnt forget anything i checked underneith the bed. this is always the last place i look, just to make sure nothing fell down there. Well it was spotless except for one thing...

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! smack dab in the center, under the bed was an old faded hospital wristband. The name totally slips my mind right now but it was a very traditional american name with a hispanic last name.

i dont know if it has anything to do with anything but it sure did weird me out!

On 4th of july of 2010 me and my sister and my daughter at the time were sere sitting on our deck watching the neighbors let off fireworks. As I saw a blue light start coming our way from far across the way. I just thought it was a firework from some place over the hill and said hey to my sister to look. It kept coming closer and closer toward us we stood up and walked off the deck to get a closer look cause it was coming right at us. The neighbors stopped to look at it also and tried taking pictures of it. So I grabbed my camera as it came closer to try and take pictures but my camera would not take pictures NOR would the neighbors camera take pictures of it. It kept coming closer and closer my heart sank into my stomach because we realized by then it was NOT a firework. It was traveling very slowely It came to a tree that was by our deck everyone still watching in awe and it just turns and heads the other direction till it disapears it was so low it almost seemed like it would touch the top of our tree if it had came on instead of turning. It was very freaky and sure made you think what in the world was that!

I love these stories! I don't really get scared reading them; I'm more curious about what in the world (or other worlds) these things can be. I'd love to hear more, if you've got em....

I have to laugh or I will cry!
