Do you want to share a couple?

My grandpa said that after his dad died that he would occassionally hear his dad's voice coming from his old bedroom. When he got there no-one was there but he could feel his presence.

After my dad died, I thought I caught a glimpse of him in my living room, and he was trying to talk to me. I've seen many ghosts, but this felt different, so I kind of put it down to wishful thinking, or a delusion.

At the time, I was very upset and convinced he had gone to hell. He was a mean, angry, abusive guy, yet the idea of him going there really bothered me. The image of him contacting me could very well have been my subconsciousnous trying to rationalize the whole thing.

The next morning, my wife told me that she had a dream where my dad called her on the phone, said he'd been trying to get ahold of me, and to tell me he was all right. I had not told her about possible sighting I had had of him the night before.

I know ghost are real, but I'm still not convinced that that was really my dad. The coincidence of my wife's dream makes me waver on that, though. Thirteen years later and I'm still undecided.

well first off i've always been into the paranormal but no one (meaning my family) would ever talk to with me about it when i was younger... it wasn't till this past year, i guess they figure im old enough now (im 25) to know things? who knows... any way one story went that after my grandma died i guess they were cleaning out the house... my grandma & grandpa where out side... the next thing they new my mom came running outta the house screaming n crying and scared shitless. Apparently she say my great-grandma just standing there, plan as day like you look at someone who is actually physically there. Anyway i guess it was so real and scared her so bad that she never stepped foot back in the house.

I keep trying to get my family to talk about stuff, im really coming to find out there is a lot of paranormal shit that has happened to my grandma, grandpa, mom & uncle... maybe even a large alien craft sighting HOWEVER that is something i just found out about this past weekend. My grandpa brought it up and my grandma was like oh yeah i forgot all about that. So now i gotta ask my uncle if he remembers. They said just like DB said about his sighting... these things are HUGE but they are totally silent.

But yeah there is a bunch of other stuff surrounding my grandmas death that they have told me about haha unlike what this msg is starting to show (cause im going on and on) but i really hate writing LOL. but if anyone is REALLY interested i can force myself to tell some more of the stories they've told me

Banning,
I am interested in more paranormal stories that you have. Try to find out ,if you can, about the UFO sighting too.

[Ankhes]

Banning, I am also interested in your other stories and as Ally said, the UFO one. Sounds intriguing! I had to laugh, tho, when you said that your grandma had forgotten all about it! I don't think I would ever forget if I saw one! : )

Scott, I have had a few experiences and put them off as delusions and wishful thinking. Mine probably are. But I hope that I haven't written something that was real off as a delusion. But I know me...wishful thinking is something I'm quite good at. : )

My grandmother passed away. She has yet to visit me.

Dont want to sound cold hearted, but I fail to see why any newly deceased person would come back to visit loved ones.

My reasoning is as follows.

As we are born into this world completely void of any memory of any past life. We then grow to learn how to survive, how to get along with everyone else, what love is all about, gain whatever wisdom we can and so on. Then we die.

Why is it then that with every new generation we seem to find out more about this plane of existence?
What I mean by that is we are always evolving. Well I would like to
think so at least.

The notion of a relative, however close returning for whatever reason, seems to me to be counter to that individuals personal evolution.
(I will get back to that in a moment).

Also it seems to me at least, to be a rather sentimental and I suppose a very human reaction to want for some kind of contact.

Now to get back to ones own evolution.
As we all know about the birds and the bees, that's the easy bit.
How do we arrive at conciousness, I know that's the big one but that to me is really what I'm on about.

23 chromosomes from Mum and 23 from Dad, flesh , blood, bones and all the sticky bits, easy yeah.
Conciousness on the other hand is far more nebulous and no one can really pin that down.

So when we die I would have thought that all our memories and emotions die with us, and either that's it game over, or to many, then we move on to another existence somewhere else.

So let's say we do move on to another life and the whole process begins again. It seems to me that you would have to start over with a clean memory to allow for a new cycle in your own evolution.

I hope I got that across in an acceptable way.
The last thing I want to do is upset anybody, but I have pondered
this point for a long time and perhaps I'm just talking crap anyway.

Peace,

Mark.

Not everyone would come back. In fact, I would say its been reputed to have happened, but it's not like the rule or anything. There's no manditory comeback.

Dont want to sound cold hearted, but I fail to see why any newly deceased person would come back to visit loved ones.

It's not cold hearted--you've reasoned it out. However, I think your reasoning is not correct.

1) Let's leave reincarnation out of it. That's another subject.
2) Let's leave personal development out of it. Most people die just as venal and unaware as they lived.
3) In encounters with ghosts, the ghost usually remembers who he/she was, retaining personality/memory on some level.
4) Ghosts that have moved on seem to be able to pop back on occassion and keep up with things. Not all ghost are stuck "here."

Now, if you don't accept the underlying assertion that ghosts are real, that they are discorporated people, or the afterlife, then my ideas are meaningless. I put this caveat in because clearly many of the people who visit this site don't accept those things. Personal experience has led me to take those factors (afterlife, ghosts) as givens.

for the ones that admit it's possible,Iaccept their assertions.but for myself, my wife had 2 years to live according to the prognosist.We had time to talk.She told me ,if she can ,she will give me sign(s).And for the last 4 years I'm still full of hopes.This bring me to think that there are peoples that can believe it's happening.Other peoples will never be able to have that contact.I think ,this is part of the brain physiology at the molecular level.We are all borned as individuals.
