Well, it's happened she saw the ghost

Are you talking about the shadow creatures? They are about knee high and just look like shadows running around. Those are completely harmless, but I am not quite sure what they are.

Now, my son (9 yo) has seen a stick type person outside in our big oak tree. I saw it jump from the roof to the tree, but I couldn't explain what it was, just asked if he saw it. He drew me a picture of it, and said it was some type of nature spirit that lives in the tree. Seemed as good an answer as any. He is mixed Irish and Native American, so I think he is extra strong in the Sight.

There are all types of elemental type creatures, so maybe he saw something like that?

Glad to see so many with experiences on the board!

To the OP...the most important thing is to acknowledge your DD's gift and not make her feel crazy or like it is her imagination. I was adopted and my adopted family always tried to make me feel like I was crazy, but they ALWAYS wanted to know what I saw or felt, or what was going to happen. I used to actually keep a journal so I could validate everything. When I got back in touch with my birth family, one of the first questions my mom asked was if I was psychic! LOL! Made me feel much better knowing I had a long family history. I have encouraged my kids and always kept an open line of communication about things like that. It helps a lot.

kfl73 Yes we have seen other things too. Some not so nice. My now 15 year old has always seen lots of different creatures. It really helps my kids now the're not nuts, I just remind them alot of people don't believe.We're christians and we generally keep our mouths shut or people say really mean things. Our sanity and faith gets put under fire. I've always been precognitive and so are most of my kids. Our old house this dead 20 something year old guy started to materialize in front of me, and I was too tired so I told him "I'm sorry guy I can't handle dead people today" he just faded away. I prayed for him later. So we are all not alone and we are not a bunch of fringe nut cases.

This is weird, I am watching the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy about this subject. I had a dream last night about it also. I had a friend growing up that told me she and her sister saw a ghost. The whole thing scares me. Not because they would do anything but because the idea of a soul stuck in one place for an eternity terrifies me. That is the idea I have from things I have seen and heard. I know nothing about the subject. I do believe after death, our loved ones are still with us. I believe in gaurdian angels. Actually, I do believe I have slight pychic abilities. I don't believe in 1800 pychics, but in having a connection with certain people. My mom and I are so close that I will pick up the phone to call her as she is calling me, all the time. Or I will awake 30 seconds before she calls me on the phone. Once, I had a thought of a completely random person right before they show up at the door. I was not close to the person, so I didn't have any sort of connection with them

Lots of odd things like that happen all the time. I don't know if it is a common thing.

One other thing I forgot to mention. I was extremely ill one night after I got back from class, I was vomiting all night. I just fell asleep on the floor of my living room because I didn't have any strength to get to bed. The next morning, my mom comes to my apartment and finds me. I stood up and ran to the bathroom and the next thing I remember is waking in my mom's arms. I had completely blacked out and my head slammed into the wall. She took me to the ER, and in the waiting room I got so sick I was collapsed on the floor (that's how bad I felt, can you even imagine what is on an ER floor!!!

) A nurse came up and told me to get off the floor, he thought I was on drugs because he wasn't very nice about it

The same thing happened to my nephew, he blacked out in a bar after having half a beer and they left him in the waiting room because they thought he was just drunk, it turns out he had a brain tumor and he would of died waiting if it weren't for his friends insisting that he be treated right away) so finally when they took me in and took my blood pressure, they rushed me back and started working on my in a big hurry. It turned out, I was so dehydrated that my blood pressure was incredibly low. My mother is a nurse and told me that people can die very easily from this. So I absolutely believe that something told her to go to my apartment, whether it was God or an Angel or telepathy, I don't know. But I might have died if she didn't come. I was so sick, I couldn't even stand much less drink anything or pick up the phone.

I have seen cats, dogs and even horses. I have just always had this gift. It comes from my fathers side. My moms believes in ghosts. Really, one cant not believe after living i the house with it for so long.

Myself. I can see them, hear them and feel them. And never told anyone that I could. Bad enough growing up that I choose to ride horses over playing softball, soccer and cheerleading. I was already the "odd one" Mentioning that I can do something comparative to the "Ghost Whisperer" would have had me and my family totally ostracized. Even now I dont freely speak of it to anyone but family and friends. Posting here made me nervous.

I try to avoid funeral homes, cemeteries, historical places. I would love to visit Gettysburg etc since I am a Civil War buff. But I know it would be hard on me to say the least. Visiting Washington DC and one particular memorial was tough. There is absolutely no way I can go to Ground 0.
But I want to and need to take my daughter to these places as she gets older. To teach her. More than what she will get in the text books. I just have to wait until I know she is strong enough to deal with what comes with this.

My grandfather died when I was 12, he was like a father to me we did everything together. Fixing fences, planting the garden, going to the bar in the afternoon

I know he used to visit me, I would smell his cherry pipe tobacco. I had a tough time with my parents so I think he was checking up on me. Several times I have narrowly avoided accidents and I believe he is my guardian angel. And after my children were born I know I was visited by several loved ones. The house my mom grew up in (across the street acutally, my aunt lives there now, has ghosts who open doors, go up and down the stairs, moves chairs and when my mom was a girl she would feel a woman touch her face when she slept, she always thought it was her great aunt because it was the family home. My mom knew weeks before my uncle died that something was going to happen and she wouldnt be at a function that day. After talking to my cousin years later (we were only maybe 8 when he died) we said we knew something bad was going to happen that night. He died in a snowmobile accident and all our parents were along.

wanted to post some more Amanda stories.

My dad had a 2/3 stall barn built for me when I was entering my teens. So that we could have the horses in the back yard. When they were digging the foundation they brought up large pieces of chard wood, bottles, leather shoes and horse shoes. And my mom began her search for info

After the horses were moved home I began finding brushes in my Appy mares stall. She was a brown snowflake pattern App. I knew I hadnt left them there. And my mom hadnt. And it happened on a regular basis, even on mornings where we hadnt been out to groom them the night before. Well. One night a few years later my sister brought a witch board home. BTW those had been banned from the house due to earlier issues with one. They are banned again. Anyway, we asked for Amanda and she came and answered some questions. Yes, she had died in the fire. It had begun in the barn. And yes, she had been in the barn brushing the horses. When my mom asked which one of the mares she liked best Amanda spelled out "Brown" When I asked why. She spelled out "My Brown" So I asked "Your horse was brown?" and she immediately went to "YES" then spelled out "Pony"

Then she abruptly left and we had an "issue" that made witch boards get banned again. The one we had been using got thrown out a second floor window and later burned.

Growing up she used to shut windows, doors and shut off lights. She scared me once by turning off the tv. I actually saw the knob turn! I have also seen her turn off a "key" light. All the neighborhood moms
(there were a bunch of us kids all the same age.) Have heard her calling for her mom.
When I was little my dad thought he heard me get out of the tub and run across the kitchen to my room. When he yelled at me to be careful on the tile floor with wet feet. I yelled back from the bathroom. Both my parents got up and walked in to find me in the tub. No wet foot prints anywhere. From what I gather that happened a lot when we were kids. Amanda would run through the house and my folks would yell and get up. I remember my dad yelling at all three of us on one occasion.

Just to cover his bases.

A close family friend has seen her. Just as my daughter described her. And I purposefully have never talked about Amanda in front of Sarah. Neither has anyone else. My sister just doesnt talk about ghosts.

My mom thought she was gone because it has been quiet. My dad passed on in 94. My dh doesnt believe what he cant or hasnt seen for himself. Even though he believes that "I" have this gift. Which is nice to have his support. But I think it helps that my own tied spirit has communicated with him. Plus the furniture being rattled every so often and the radio and lights being turned on randomly helps Mine is still learning solid and electric manipulation. Yes. I have my own personal "guardian angel" ghost. Since 95. More on him later.

I agree... shadow creatures... unless you have something more descriptive. I had one as a child/teen that followed me around. My step-sister also saw it a handful of times. It was a black shape about the size of a cat. Now, if they actually had a description of looks, colors, etc, I'd LOVE to hear about it and can maybe help research what it is. I believe we live among many otherwordly or energy beings and that most folks are just 'blind' to them. But don't get me started....
