I'm not sure that I believe in ghosts as such but something really strange has happened to me. Twice with in three days, I have "heard" my husband call my name when he was nowhere in the vicinity. I remember my mom and grandparents talking about 'tokens'. This really scares the be-jeebers out of me...
Any comments welcome.

Hi there, I have had lots of ghostly and spiritual exper-iences over the years but one that I remember most vividly. It was after I had an ultrasound of my breast and had to see an oncologist the next day. I climbed into bed and rolled onto my left side as usual. I had dragged my nightie up to my waist as the weather was so humid and I was too hot and stressed to sleep and was just lying there. Minutes later, my nightie was gently pulled down and straightened over my bottom and a hand was gently patting me like you would to comfort a baby. I knew it was my mum as she had been through this "journey" herself and knew how terrifying it was.

We bought a house where a man and women had been killed. The man was actually seen a few times. I believe he looked after us as my children were growing up. He liked to play tricks and hide things on one of my DGD.
My experience is about my sister. The day before she died she was in a coma and started talking to family members that had already passed on, and she was reading from the bible. She died in 1968 and I don't know if I felt her presence until about 8 years ago. We had moved into another house and I was working on my computer and I smelled smoke. I couldn't find where it was coming from. This when happened off and on for about a year. Then I saw a program that said sometimes they let you know by smoke. She did smoke when she was alive. One time I heard her say "I am here, I am here" scared me to death. About 6 months ago, I got very upset with her daughter about her mishanding something. I did call and apologize the next day. But a couple of days later, I got in my car and smelled cigarette smoke, then it went away. Then a day or two later my DH and DD got in the car and asked me who had been smoking in my car. I told them my sister is mad at me for fussing at her daughter and she is smoking in my car to spite me.
Now on the angels, I tripped in the parking lot of the church and went forward, straight down. I did not catch my self and I had little pieces of gravel on my forehead and chin but I was not hurt. It should have smashed my face. I believe my angels cushioned my fall. My DH could not believe I was not hurt.

I was in hospital and during the night after I had my thyroid removed I awakened to see a man walk into my hospital room dressed in khaki trousers and a white shirt. Nothing strange about that, but in this day and age, these clothes were not the uniform of the day. This was only nine years ago and this uniform was from many years before then. He turned side on and was standing watching me. As I lay there a female nurse entered the room also and was wearing a long white dress with a pintucked front, buttons and buttonholes down the front, little round collar and a small white cap. This also had long sleeves, a long skirt almost to the floor and she looked very prim and proper. When this nurse walked in she stopped just a little short of where the male nurse was and turned to face me as well. Their arms were barely an inch apart but neither one was aware the other was there. They were both from different eras that were many years apart. I was so excited about seeing them there side by side (but not together) as I had experienced many different spirit visitors over many, many years. These nurses were both doing their early-morning rounds and I was lucky enough to see them both but they couldn't see each other. This experience is still etched in my mind like it was yesterday and I will never forget it.

When my beloved Tigger died, I used to "see" him occasionally lying on my shirts in the laundry basket. He loved to decorate them with his fur. I didn't tell anyone but occasionally I would find some fur on the shirts that could only have been shed by him as the other cat was black and white and Tigger was a black and brown tiger color. This was months after he died, so they would have been worn and washed since his death. He was my guardian angel in many ways. He helped me through some really rough times during my battle with mental illness.

Thanks for all the stories. I enjoyed them and could relate to many. I believe there are many kinds of phenomena that we don't understand. We call them by different names, and that does not matter. There must be something in Spirit for so many of us to have these experiences. If you are afraid, then imagine yourself surrounded by white light or even a golden bubble of light and declare protection for yourself. I have been a metaphysical student for many years, so this does not frighten me. I feel protected by a good Spirit.

I was close to death four years ago and hospitalized. One night my deceased grandparents came and stood alongside my bed. It really made me feel better emotionally and a few days later I was on my way to recovery.

Sorry, this is long
Yes Ghosts And Angels, also.
My Father Passed away in 2002. and a couple days later I had a dream and he came to me. He was Standing in a room with other family members,and it was very festive and upbeat the feeling I had about it. he turned around and Said. "Karolyn
Don't worry about me, I am so Happy and feel wonderful. and I Don't Hurt anymore. and look how young I am" .. and i could see that there was joy in his face .
And the dream was so vivid. In the dream He looked like he was in his early thirties.
when he passed he was 76. ( And after that dream I have such a peaceful and really happy feeling Knowing That he is alright
and being taken care of. )
My Mother Passed away in 2006 And I was taking care of her at my house. She was sick for quite awhile , she Always used a walker
and it was hard for her to get around.
finally she went in the hospital and passed a few days later,
a couple days After her funeral. I was sitting down in my room
and I looked up and I saw The Back of My Mother, She had a red House Dress she wore quite often, and she was walking real fast past the door, into the room she stayed in. no trouble walking ,and No walker. I got up and looked in the room and didn't see anyone.
I Miss them so much , But I take it as their way of telling me they are alright and it has helped me so much.
Sorry got one more
About 2o years ago I had my mom and younger sister in my car I had a fairly new Red Javlin only about 4-5 years old
and was driving no problem , then all of a sudden my car horn just started going off,and it was real loud and kept blaring
Boy, I was having a fit It scared the S--- out of me We didn't know what to do , so I see a Cemetary on the left hand side it was one I've seen before. I pull in there get out of the car
the horn still blowing and it won't shut off. I lift up the hood and
can't figure out what's wrong . I turn around and A Older man in overalls is walking up to me and leans over the car and did something,because the horn stopped. I turn around to thank him and theres no one there. He just disappered . I have no Idea where he went. There was too much of a parking lot
and the building was too far away for him to just be gone
there was no other cars their either. the funny thing was He never spoke a word I never heard his voice,
I believe he was a angel. But it was spooky at the time .
sorry this is so long Karolyn

Like most of you, I prefer to call them spirits. My first encounter with spirits was years ago when I was just 8-9 yrs old. We lived in the country with no neighbors close by, We lived in a pasture that was about 160 acres. One day I was playing outside not very far from the house and could distinctly hear teh voices of children. Couldn't hear what they were saying, it mostly consisted of laughter.
I tried to get closer to the sound and called out to them.
The closer I tried to get, the farther they seemed to be. I finally decided they didn't want to play and went on my merry way. It wasn't until years later that my daughter called me and said her hubby thought she was crazy for hearing voices. That sort of took me by surprise so I began asking her questions about where she heard them and what they sounded like. After a while, I remembered the children's voices from so long ago. I told her I was surprised that she could hear them, as she was an adult. And, above all, she wasn't crazy because I had heard them too and knew they were there. (She was living on the same piece of land that I grew up on).
My next story isn't quite as peaceful. My daughter and her first husband divorced, and since they were living on the family land, he wanted the house. We made him move it. A few years later she remarried. She and her new hubby bought a refurbished double wide and moved it back to the same spot. It wasn't long until her jewelry started coming up missing. There were 2 places in the house where their dog would stare at the wall and growl. The electricity does strange things sometimes the lights won't come on in the main bathroom, and other times they will.
One night pictures she had up came flying off the wall.
This really bothered me because it didn't sound good and not knowing the history of the home they'd purchased left me with a really bad feeling about what had happened in it prior. So I got a bottle of Holy Oil and she and I went through every room in the house praying over it, and marking over each doorway with a cross using the Holy Oil.
Not long after that, my son in law saw an orb of light rush down the hallway into the living room and out the ceiling.
There is still a black spot on the ceiling (that continues to get larger) She has been unable to find anything that will take it off, it looks like black soot. I haven't heard them complain anymore about strange bizzare occurances, so I guess whatever was there is now gone.
