I believe in angels. My mother saw them in her room for several weeks before she died. One night she asked me if I could see the people in the room. She pointed all around the room and said they were there. I asked if she knew them. She said no. I asked if they scared her. She said no. So, I told her they were angels sent by God to watch over her. She said "do you think so?" I said, "well, you see them and I don't, so that must be it". After that, she called them her angels. It gives me comfort, as she waited until we had all left the room to die. But I know she wasn't really alone. :-)

Ghosts as in BOOOOO or people who lived long long long ago that I don't know - absolutely NO

I believe in Angels who I believe are people I know who are around me still after they're gone. :) I have not seen or smelled or felt anything - what I get is guidance - knowledge - forewarning - ya know 'gut reactions'.
I do believe you have to be receptive of them and listen to their suggestions.

Absolutely, as a child we had two in our old home. And I saw them, it was a husband and wife. In our last home in MN we lived in a very old home. We had a young mother, who walked back and forth in the hallway from bedroom to bed room. We called her Sarah. We found very old newspapers and childrens toys in our attic, and we believe she is still searching for her baby who died. When we moved, I lite a candle and went from room to room, and asked her to please accept the new owners, and that she should cross over because the baby is no longer there. My husband, his son, myself and a friend all saw her. Our friend turned so pale. He said "did you see that?" We just told him that was Sarah and she won't hurt you. He didn't come back very often after that.

I believe ghosts are lost souls still search to cross over. I believe Angels are friends and family who has passed on. And I do believe there is a difference.

I also believe in spirits of the dead. About 10 years ago I met a young Native American boy, and went to visit he and his family. They gave me the name of Snow Owl. While visiting him he took me to several different places in his area. One of the places was Siche Hollow, which is just like a beatiful park. 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.

What do you think?

Here is a picture of a quilt I included a ghost in. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-675-1.htm

I had been living in a converted "Home for wayward Girls" and was pinning three sections together in a long hallway. I felt a cool breeze, turned, and there was a nun there, in big clunky shoes. She blessed me, then headed down the hall. I took the pins out of my mouth to thank her, but she just disappeared through the closed door at the end of the hall.

There are many people living and working at the condos there who have seen them, in different part of the buildings.

Yes, I believe the spirits of our loved ones come visit us. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't believe and that is OK. There is more that goes on in this universe and the spirit world than we'll ever understand.

I would swear that my deceased dog is stomping at my feet in bed. I've actually woken up many times since he passed. He was such a good companion.
