When I told the ER nurse, he wasn't surprised.
I had worked with him before so he told me that he saw it often on the last day but no one wanted to hear it so he never said anything except when asked. He said for me to call in the family...he died later that evening.
A couple of days later I was sitting alone in the house and heard him tell me Goodbye, using my pet name only he called me.

I always ask my friend to repeat her experience. We are believers and take comfort in this.
Yes, there are visions, voices, feelings, etc that we cannot explain. I grew up hearing my mom recall her childhood and the experiences her mother had with the unexplained.

Children and pets are very open to appearances. Usually they will stare, dogs sometimes growl at something that is not visible but they are staring. Watch for staring at ceiling corners.

About 30 yrs. ago I had a little neighbor boy, who died from a brain tumor. He was 4 yrs. old, his favorite color was orange, and he and I were very close. He and I would sit and watch all the kids playing. The day he died I spent all day with his family, but when I crawled in bed that night and closed my eyes, this bright circular opening occured, like a round tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was Jeremy, dressed in an orange gown. He smiled at me and the circle closed. I tried for hours to open the circle again but never could.
A day or so after the funeral, I was with him mom and she gave me some silk orange flowers from the funeral, which I still have today in my china cupboard. So I decided to tell her about the vision I had, thinking she would think I was nuts....but she was thrilled, knowing how close we were, she figured he had to tell someone he is ok now, and he told me. This is as vivid to me today as it was so long ago.

When I got to this post, the first thing I saw was a white owl I thought, then I read the post. So I saw an owl before I even read the post.
I have had alot of things I could not explain, whether, ghosts, angels or demons, I don't know. I believe that once you die, your soul goes to Heaven or Hell and once a soul goes to Heaven, it never returns here. I just am afraid that the ghosts that has been seen are really demons that Satan makes look identical like your loved one and the purpose is to win your soul to him. I would love to see my dad that gone on and other loved ones, but I don't want to desturb their souls, I want them to rest in peace.
But I do love to watch Ghost Hunter shows and so forth. I went to Gettysburg and went on 2 ghost hunts and even used the equipment like K2 meters and voice recorders in an old cilvil war mansion that no one lives in. It was scarry and excitement.
I have seen and heard and smelled things that I can't explain. I love reading these threads and actuallly have read every word when usually I skip alot of reading, because I am such a busy and active person. Have fun! :shock:

When walking back to the car, I looked at a tree, and there was a white looking owl from sap or something. It startled me, and he didn't see it, but once my pictures were developed, I askef his mom what she saw on the tree. She immediately said a snow owl. Then we went to a burial grounds. I took all kinds of pictures of things, but when I had them developed, there were no pictures of the actual burial grounds. Everything else came out. I believe the spirits did not want me taking pictures, so there was nothing to develop.

I saw a picture of a ghost. One of my students took a picture of his friend outside his house, at night, and on the side of him in the back, was a little girl dressed in Victorian style clothing. She was white, like a ghost. My student said no one else was there, physically, except him and his friend.
