Have you ever seen an angel, a ghost or any sort of celestial being?

Some Parkinson's Disease patients such as myself have intense dreams,
Often when I wake up I can write down the details (colors, smells, emotions, names, etc).

Some PD patients (not me) violently act out in their dreams (not when awake) by beating their partner

Back in the day when my kitchen faucet was so worn out we had to turn it on with pliers, I was fussing to myself about it while cleaning the stairs and got myself in a real bad mood. Suddenly, the odor of peppermint and beer began filling the staircase.

My dad used to chew Beechnut Peppermint gum and drank beer by the case, so that odor was very familiar. My dad never let anything like my faucet happen. He'd have put in a new one before anyone complained about it. It was nice to know that he was still around, but it made me sad too.

I told him that it's OK, go back and rest, I'll get it fixed. The odor went away and that's about as far as I want my experience to go. I have no desire to see spirits or invite them to hang around. My mother would often have the priest come to bless our house because of "activity". Don't want to have to deal with that anymore.

This reminds me of something my son told me. I think I had told him a true ghost story about a deceased neighbor in the next building. My son and my father had such a special bond. He often reminisces about the funny things Daddy would say to Mama. When he was little, my parents loved watching him on the weekends and that continued until he was in his teens.

My father smoked a pipe and sometimes a cigar. My son said he was in our studio one day and suddenly smelled his grandfather's pipe. My father had been gone for years. The window wasn't open so it was not a scent wafting in from outside. I have never allowed smoking in my apartment and neither my son nor I ever smoked.

It'd be cool... or maybe scary.

I like to think about such things and read about the views of people on them in the past. But no, I don't think any of it is real and I have no personal experience with such things.

I've read a lot recently about how scary Archangels and Seraphim would be to look upon, assuming one survived the experience.

I've always had very intense dreams, since I was a wee child. Sometimes I dream really bizarre things. But sometimes I see things when I'm awake. Now most of them are in my head, so one could argue that it is just my imagination. Once in a while I see the image of someone projected into the room. Whoever or whatever it is, is like a hologram. Mostly they don't say anything, or if they do I can't hear what's being said. Sometimes it feels like my loved ones who have passed are visiting me and talk to me, in my head. Again, that could be my imagination. But once it a while it's incredibly real and activates the physical senses.

Have you ever heard Diamond Rio song, I Believe? Has it happened to you? It has to me. Here's a link in case you haven't heard it.

I have felt and seen the same thing. It doesnā€™t happen often but when it does, I take notice.
I LOVE the song you added and will add it to ā€˜The Christian Musicā€™ thread. Itā€™s a beautiful song .

When I was a teen, I worked as a stock boy in a department store, and I saw my Uncle Ralph, plain as day, standing in an aisle, with his cane, trench coat and 40s style gangster fedora. I froze. He turned his head toward me and said "Hey, Davey Cricket". (that's what he always called me. I blinked, and he was gone. I will never forget that.

Claude was with us for 20+ years. He would turn the music up and the lights down. You called him out and he would fix it. We had a small pretty paper box we put out with lid off and let him know in advance when moving day was. His box got a moving box and was on the manifest. He moved on when we lived in Birmingham, AL. Got too settled for his taste:)

Good story. My wife is from Birmingham. We live in Gulfport, Miss.
 
I once didn't realize I had seen a ghost until later. I was standing in a bus shelter downtown, waiting for a bus with several other people. The surroundings were businesses, banks, etc.

I heard a man talking loudly, as if he were angrily hurling insults over his shoulder at someone as he exited a bank on the same side of the street I was on. When I looked up, I saw a middle aged man wearing a white dress shirt and bow tie under a tuxedo jacket, but no pants. He was wearing pink boxer shorts and black socks held up by garters, and dress shoes.

When he crossed the street (while traffic was in motion) it looked as if he had entered another building but there was only a wall where I had last seen him. It happened very quickly. I looked at the other people waiting for the bus, and they didn't seem shocked or appalled. I got a strong suspicion that they had not seen that man, and only I had. I asked an elderly woman standing next to me, "Did you see that?" She gave me a blank look and asked me, "See what?" There were at least five people standing there and not one reacted. I realized that I had seen a ghost.
 
I am a phychic medium and so yes, I see spirit and I talk with spirit. It happens frequently. I am not afraid of spirit unless it is a demon. If I come across one I call in the reikei masters, priests, shaman and other healers for a removal.

I have found missing children and worked on cold cases with NY State Police. Last year I worked on the case in Saratoga Springs ny of the missing girl. I was credited with her save.
 
Several years ago I spent the night in a bed and breakfast with an old girlfriend, I think it was St Genevieve Missouri. The very old town had ghost tours and lots of reported activity.

So there I am, minding my own business, sleeping, and this old lady ghost reaches down to touch me. I raised my hand straight up and forcefully stated no. The girlfriend is startled and is asking me "What's going on?" and I'm like, oh it's just a ghost.

In hindsight, it was her house and I was probably sleeping in her original bed. So it was quite rude of me. But over the years, often sleep has been difficult sometimes and I didn't appreciate ghosts waking me up.

The next day the girlfriend was talking about wanting to take me to known haunted bed and breakfasts. This was something new in her life experience.

We are all ghosts. Some of us have beautiful marionette puppets to walk with and talk with.

That's all I know. We must have all taken some sort of amnesia pill at birth.

Not everyone has the ability to see spirits. Either that or they do not reveal themselves to everyone. Funny...one of the ghosts in "Ghosts" is missing his pants too. Is that the only time you saw a ghost?

@dusty "I have found missing children and worked on cold cases with NY State Police. Last year I worked on the case in Saratoga Springs ny of the missing girl. I was credited with her save."
Impressive! That must've brought a huge sense of satisfaction. How did you hone in on her whereabouts? Did you have something that belonged to her, see a picture, etc.?

@Lawrence00 Why did your GF want to take you to a "known haunted" B & B when obviously you had already slept in one? :LOL: Ya gotta show those ghosts who's boss. I didn't see the entity but felt it tugging at my arm one night. I was trying to sleep in my recliner which is in the living room. It was dark and I thought it was my husband teasing me. I said STOP! Stop it! in an annoyed tone. When I got up to go to the bathroom right after, I realized my husband hadn't gotten home yet.

When I got back from the bathroom, I noticed that the area around my chair was cold, unlike the bathroom and short hallway I passed through. That's when I realized it had to be a spirit. It never bothered me again though. Even ghosts don't want to make me mad. :LOL:

@OneEyedDiva: No, it's not the only time I saw a ghost. I discussed this with a paranormal group and one person speculated that the ghost may have been in some type of fraternity/hazing incident, thus the missing pants. His clothing looked old fashioned, like around early nineteen hundreds.

If it was a hazing incident, how did this "person" walk through a wall? That part doesn't jibe. I understand trying to find a logical explanation before saying something is a paranormal event. But then there's that expression..."you had to be there".

The way I figured, whomever that guy was had to be a ghost because it would be hard for about five people not to have seen a guy dressed like he was, on a busy downtown street. A friend of mine hazarded the guess about a hazing, but this guy looked too old to be involved with something like that. He looked to be in his forties. as for walking through a wall, maybe in his time that wall wasn't in that exact place. At any rate, it was an experience!

Yep, those are two more good points that discount the hazing theory. So...I'm interested in reading about your other ghost sightings.
 
I did share earlier in this thread about the apparition that I saw when I was a child. I have only seen about three or four in my entire lifetime. Most of my experiences have been heard rather than seen, I guess.
 
My second husband and I inherited a haunted house when we were young. So many things happened that after 2 years we sold it. Even my 4 year old saw a ghost. Our guests would report things even though we hadnā€™t told them.

When I go home to Wisconsin I stay with my childhood friend and the guest room is upstairs. It feels bad and my little dog doesnā€™t like it either. I sleep with the lights on and once I woke up and saw a woman. Turns out that the previous owner hung herself up there. I no longer stay there when I visit.
