Ok time for this thread to come about since I was reading in another thread about strange happenings in our homes. Ok recently in the thread about my aunt disappearing with my dogs going crazy. Well we have had many family visitors to our house over the years, most of whom have never been here while they were alive. My favorite aunt of all times comes thru often. Her name was Aunt Deedee. What a special person she was to me. She always wore a certain perfume, and you know how one scent can change when another person wears it. Well she was the only one who had that special scent with that perfume. Sometimes you can smell it passing thru a room. My wife smells it also. So I guess she is just passing thru to say hello. Same with my grandmother who always wore lilac talcom powder. She comes to visit now and then. Another strange happening we had was 10 years ago on my wifes birthday. Her stepfather who was more of a father than her real father was, that's another story, passed away about a month before her birthday. I had purchase her a dozen red roses and she put them in a vase then on the sofa table in the foyer. We went out to dinner and came back a couple of hours later. We went to hang up out coats in the foyer closet when my wife stopped to smell the roses. She stepped back and ask me what happened? I said what and went over to the vase. In a perfect circle about 2 inches wide around the vase was a layer of what looked like soot from a fireplace or woodstove. No one in the house while we were gone and it wasn't there when she put the vase down. We also have the ghost of our first dog still living in the house. His name was Odie, another tan cocker spaniel. We went to the Olympics in Atlanta. He had a heart attack while we were gone but waited till we got home to pass away. He died in our bedroom next to the bed while we were taking a nap. He still sleeps on the bed and when I am downstairs in my office which is right under the master bedroom he will jump down off the bed and walk around the house going from room to room. I have heard him, my wife has heard him and the 3 cockers we have, have heard him. They stare up at the ceiling downstairs like to say hey he is up there again. The circles that we were discussing in the other thread I believe are orbes also. A good friend of mine has a real old house and we get those all the time when taking pictures inside and outside. Different cameras different times of the day. He also has a lot of activity in his house. Missing tools for days then they appear on the dining room table. Hey I want ghosts spirits or what have you to do some cleaning and vaccumming around here.
Ok I have opened it up. Can't wait to hear some of the tales from other members.

WOW

Leaving the office in a few and will comment tomorrow. I can certainly relate to the things that have happened to you in your house ... the scents are a big thing!

'good evening.

Great topic...

This is my favorite subject next to appliances. I have been fascinated with spirits ever since I was a kid. Unfortunately I have never seen one but can't get enough when it comes to reading ghost stories or watching TV or movies about them.

Being that my house was built in 1995 I think it is too new to have any spirits from predecessors but I had a very vivid dream that my Father sat on my bed and talked with me one night after he passed away in 2002. I also swear I see my former black cat 'Trevor' that died a couple years ago walking down the hall in my side vision every now and then.
 
The thing about these types of experiences is that you really have to be there. Describing noises and cooler air masses sounds entirely stereotypical but anyone who has witnessed one of these occurances will usually advise of those two detectable aspects of a presence passing through.

I've already related my brush with the paranormal on the Summer Plans II thread.
 
Oooh, fascinating topic! I haven't knowingly experienced a paranormal event (well, not yet anyway), but I have had a sort of psychic premonition. When I was a freshman in college I had a random dream one night that my friend Graham's brother Ryan was sitting in a wheelchair in the middle of the football field at Graham's university, and that he had a cast on his arm. The following week Graham phoned to catch up, and he mentioned that the week prior he'd broken his hand playing intramural football at school. Hearing that news stopped me in my tracks. I had the right family, the right school, the football field, and an arm injury. I just had the wrong brother. Coincidence?

I shared this with one of my aunts years ago and her response was, "Oh, you have the gift. I have it, too." Thus far I've only had the one premonition, so I'm inclined to think my "gift" was a one-off event. To that end, I also think my aunt is full of it. If she really was psychic then one would think she'd know better than to keep marrying douchebags. In fact, she married one of them twice. Sigh.

I'm intrigued by everyone's experiences, so please keep sharing!
 
59 Cadillac

When I was 17 my father passed away. I had a 1959 Cadillac limousine that he didn't like. My sister and my two nephews arrived for the funeral. The nephews were 3 and 6 years old. They were having a great time playing in uncle's big black car. I didn't want them to get hurt with the power windows and such, so I disconnected the battery. The next morning, the day of the viewing, I reconnected the battery and locked the doors, I had the only key and kept it on me. I figured that if we needed an extra car we could use it.

That night we left my father's viewing early to get home and get stuff ready for the wake. As we pulled in the driveway I noticed all the lights in the car were on, dome lights, reading lights, map lights, etc. In those days, batteries didn't last like today, and those kids couldn't have found all the switches for the lights. I disconnected the battery and told my sister that I got the idea, Dad wanted that car gone. I sold it within the month!

Later that same evening as my sister in law was crying crocodile tears and playing a good mourner, the table light next to her shot out sparks and shorted out for no apparent reason. Other than my dad didn't like her as well as she thought. Her role playing came to a quick end.

Odd? Coincidence? Hard to say. My family is Hungarian and we've got stories to tell about second site and such. Me, yes, I can sometimes "see" things, and it does skip around in families. My oldest sister and I have it, but not the rest of the siblings.
 
well...

I had some sort of bizarre dream, (premonition) myself about 3 weeks ago.

One night while I was sleeping, I had a dream that my good friend's wife was pregnant and she was expecting a girl. I kept telling him in my dream that he was going to be cursed with 3 daughters because he was such a ladies man when he was single..lol!

Well..later that day, I sent him a text message telling him about my dream and asking him if his wife was pregnant.
He called me back and was shell shocked. He and his wife had just left the doctors office and they confirmed she was about 8 weeks pregnant with their 3rd child.

They haven't shared this news with anyone yet and have decided to wait until she was further along in her pregnancy before they would tell friends and family..

So, that being said, He said if he has another girl..I get to be the godfather!

How about that! =)
 
Paranormal!

This is a Fascinating subject. I have always been a believer. At times I have had feelings of different presences around me. In New York their is a open seance on Wednesday and Sunday evenings that I attend at times. I have also had a few private reading at times in my life. I Pray that only good spirits and Angels follow me.

My brother in law

He passed away many years ago. He had a bad heart, and we were expecting it. At the moment he died, the power went out to my house. I just knew it was John saying goodbye. None of the neighbors lost power, and it came back on 15 minutes later. When the electric company got to the house, they had no explanation for what had happened.
 
MOU KSEFIGE MIA

Had an episode of "Automatic speaking".

Sister was despondent that her child may have been brain-damaged due to difficult pregnancy and tremendous blood-loss at the time of birth.

There was no consoling her during a visit a few weeks after the birth. All of a sudden a feeling came over me and I said (with 100% certainty) that the baby was ok. ODD. I don't know why that sentence came out of me.

Later I learned that my sister's mother-in-law had a similar episode earlier that day also consoling my sister. We were both shocked at the feeling/knowing with ever fiber of our being that the baby was ok, and with the parallelism of our separate experiences.

We both attributed the whole thing to The Holy Spirit. She (the MIL) is a holy-roller, so I was ok with that; I on the other hand...............
 
I've had a vision

I am not nuts ok, but I have this weird premenition. I have explained it to my wife and have shown her. This happens once or twice a year. I will be going by a building or a house and I get the strangest feeling. Just something inside my head is not right. I am totally paranoid about fire. Well what I see or feel in my head is that this house or building is going to have a fire. NO I AM NOT AN ARSONIST!! Usually 90% of the time I am correct. There is a fire within a 2 or 3 month period. My mother always said I had special abilities that my other siblings didn't. It just is the strangest feeling. My dreams of premenition are incredible. I had one a few years ago about my grandmother my fathers mother. I was down in Florida and she came driving up and stopped and we talked but I knew in the dream she was deceased. I asked her was she here to get me and she said no I am coming for Richard, her son, my father. I said ok and she said you have a long time to go before we see each other again. The next day my father called and told me he had terminal cancer. I could go on and on but someone elses turn. Like the bumper sticker I saw on a car "I just do what the voices in my head tell me to do." LOL

I really hesitated about posting this. I have not met any of you and now you will think I am over the edge. BUT with the great people and minds in this group and how open we are about everything and we all get along I figured what the heck.
 
Jon, you are among a group of guys who get hard over vintage washers and other old appliances or obscure oddball stuff.

Nobody here has any business saying you're over the edge, nor would any of us be inclined to do so. Right guys?
 
Jon, I agree with Ralph. You're among friends and needn't worry about anyone thinking you're an oddball. Perhaps you're more sensitive to the energies that we can't see, feel, touch, etc., and thus you have a greater frequency of visions than other clairvoyants may have. In my book that makes you one lucky guy.
 
Hey Jon,

Well, technically Nashua is over the edge.... of the border with MA, so...... :-)

Please. I know neither Rich nor I could comment negatively about your experiences. For cryin' out loud: we collect typewriters. Now if anyone was gonna be talked about....

Chuck
p.s.- I know you and Rich would have some things to talk about (re: this thread) if you're able to make it on the 30th!

 
Jon-

Relax. Everyone is cracked. Everyone is all right.

The moment a person can accept both of the underlined statements above, is the beginning of sanity--In my opinion, at least!
