who believes in spirits
And not the ones you drink. Here is my story.
I wasn't a believer in the after life, spirits or ghost. Then I met my wife. Donna lived in a farm house from the 1700's. On our first date, I was waiting for her to get ready to go out on a dinner date. When we got in the car, I asked if that was a picture of her mom, sitting on top of the TV, holding a lamb. Donna gave me a funny look and said, No, my mom died when I was 9 , and we don't have any pictures of her in the house. About three weeks later, we went to meet her sister in a neighboring town. When we walked into their living room, there was the picture of her mom holding the lamb, on top of the TV. Donna just looked at me and said, is that the picture??? YUP.
Two months later, I spent the night at her house, Her dad owned another farm in Maryland, and she was all alone. As Donna was getting a shower, Her mom appeared in the doorway, and just stared at me. She then pointed to the stairs and shooed me away. Not being able to move, do to being scared, Donna came in and asked me if I saw her mother. I just shook my head, go out of bed and left.
Since that day, I have seen her mom three different times in our house, and each time was after we had a bad argument. Her ashes are in an urn on a table in our bedroom. I always bring her roses and cards on holidays and her birthday. I know she is with us all the time.
One night when Chris was about three, we heard him talking to someone in his bedroom. When we asked who he was talking too, he said grandma. He then looked at Donna, and said, your mom, not GG, meaning my mom.
The reason for this post is, Tonight when I got home, I heard someone say, hi Johnny. Nobody calls me by my name like that, except my wife. Everyone calls me Oak or Oakie. I walked down the hall and both dogs are staring at the urn. Donna is at work. She is a kind and gentle spirit, and I feel comfortable with her in our house. It is kinda like she is looking out for us and, especially, Donna.
So does anyone else have experiences like this????

I have also seen things move, that defy explanations, at the 1947 Chesstnut Cabin I used to live at, after divorcing up North. Greenwood Lake/West Milford NY/NJ. (Yes, literally right on the line.)
Got hit in the head by one. (Cardboard box.) Another was a stack of firewood by the woodstove, that had been there undisturbed for a while. It literally exploded across the living room (15' feet) while I was spending a quite evening in my fairly dark living room, watching TV not too far away. I just sat there numb. Not believing what i had seen. Many others.
Loved that place. It was not bad/negative energy.

I don't believe, sorry. But to each their own.

In 2011 my dad a Medic WW2 passed away. Fluvanna County, Virginia had a dinner for the Old Vets. Of course dad was missing at this one. I was not aware of the dinner. I was standing at the back of my 2nd property down there facing the woods next to a barb wire fence. There were no leaves blowing in front of me but I felt a very strong breeze blowing on my neck. I can't explain it but I felt Dad's presence all around and behind me. I turned around and there was no one there. I turned back and i felt the breeze again all around me and on my neck. I turned again and there was a man standing about six feet away with a red rose in a clear vase in his hand. He said " We missed your Dad at the dinner today and knew that you were a Vet. We thought that you should have your Dad's rose".
There is no way that that man could walk over 300 yards line of sight from the road and get behind me in a few seconds the second time i turned around. He was the messenger.------------Ray

Oakie, hope i am not hogging your topic and i will quit after this one told to me by my grandmother.
In 1950 my Uncle Jack age 17 was asleep in rear seat of 1938 Ford on the way home from state fair in Virginia. He was literally cut in half in auto accident. My grandparents almost died from grief, especially my grandmother.
Granny lost almost 1/3rd of her weight and took up smoking again. She claimed she went out side one night for a smoke in the moonlight about a year after Uncle Jacks accident and there was a bright light behind her and someone touched her shoulder. She believed it was a Angel sent from Heaven that told her she must stop smoking and grieving and God was watching over her. She came inside shaken and things started to get better. At 48 years old Granny and Grandpa at age 60 had another child. They gave him the same name as Jack #1.
I can barely remember Jack#1 now but Jack#2 is like a brother to me and is one of the best Mustang restorers in Virginia. --------Ray

Nope. Eyewitness testimony is the least reliable evidence in any court.

Me? I'm not sure about spirits, but I think it would be really cool if they do exist. However, eccentric cat wonk/guru/expert Jackson Galaxy is convinced cats can see spirits. Watching my own cats, I have no doubt they can see things I can't. Kind of spooky, at times. Spirits? Uhhhh....
