Paranormal Stories

I've had an opportunity to speak to an author about paranormal experiences over the past few weeks, and it seems she is going to publish some of my experiences in her new book due out next year.

She has been interviewing quite a few people on their experiences and I am shocked to hear that she will include mine:o

Sillypants! You've got some darn good stories. She was probably delighted to get them.

Congratulations! Very Happy

She has used 4 of my experiences in her book.

She was quite amazed with one of them and if the book sells well next year when it's published, she will be asking me for more stories.
Very Happy

I'm not sure which stories she is going with so here is one of them.

Not long after I was married in 1990, I had a rather puzzling dream that stuck in my mind and took many weeks to unfold. At first I thought it was just a whacky dream, but I was proved very wrong.

It started with me standing on a ferry wharf at Woolwich (I grew up in this area) and I was looking across the harbour towards Greenwich which should have been full of large leafy trees hiding most of the houses. But in my dream all I could see was a cemetery with blinding white crosses as far as the eye could see. Then mysteriously one army boot with laces undone was brought to my attention as I boarded the ferry. The dream ended half way across the water and left me a little bewildered.

As the weeks went on parts of the dream started to unravel. My mother-in-law told us that my one of my husband's uncles was in hospital. When I heard the name of the hospital things fell into place.

This hospital was at the top of the Greenwich peninsula, so I realised that someone was giving me warning of the events to unfold. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and given only 6 months to live...acutally he only lasted 4 weeks...but the last piece of the puzzle fell into place on the way home in the car. My husband told me how close he was to his uncle and that his uncle gave him a knickname that stuck later in life.

Because my husband suffered from coeliac disease as a child he was wafer thin and adopted the name of "bootlace". Now everything became crystal clear.

Some one was trying to tell me that this man was going to die. My husband being a 100% skeptic didn't believe me, not even when we got the phone call on new year's eve of 1990 would he even remotely agree that my dream was a warning.

There was another good example I gave her, and was a little apprehensive as I thought she would think I was on drugs or something as I still find it weird and a little unbelievable still.

Another experience was when I was recouperating from a fall down the stairs.

I was sitting in the loungeroom with my injured leg resting on a foot stool watching a bit of tele. My husband had a wall unit full of the matchbox toy cars he had as a child and I noticed one of them moved on their own - backwards and forwards. I thought I was seeing things and left it at that.

Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a man standing in the hallway. I turned my head to see who it was and there was no one standing there. So thinking that someone had broken into the house I got up on my crutches and searched the house looking for this male.

I ran one of the crutches under the beds, searched inside the wardrobes in case he was hiding there, but found no one. The backdoor and the windows were still in the locked position, so I had no answer as to who it was or how he got in the house.

The mystery was solved when I answered the phone. My mother-in-law had rung and I was still a bit frantic about what had happened. I described the man down to the pattern on his shoes only to hear complete and utter silence from her.

She was in a bit of shock as the person I had described was her husband who died 8 years previous. I had described perfectly what she had buried him in and when my husband got home from work he showed me a photo of his father. I said it looks like him, but he was a bit thinner with fiery red hair. He assured me that is what he looked like in his younger days.

I had never seen a photo of his father before this as he still has unresolved issues with the way he was treated by his father and vehemently hates him still to this day.

This experience occured approximately 3 months prior to the dream I described earlier. After this you would have thought that my husband would change his skeptic ways...but unfortunately after everything that has happened over the last 18 years, he's still a non believer.

It's the pink elephant effect - some people will never acknowledge what is too much for them to deal with.

Good story!

Pink elephant effect is right...that is why I will never tell of another experience due to ridicule. People would think I was on drugs at the time...which i wasn't. Smile

I know how you feel! I very rarely tell people (except you guys coz you dont think im nuts!! lol) about my experiences .

But for some reason, I told my gp about it today...of all people to tell, he would probably be one of the worst to tell coz he would start thinking im crazy and start prescribing me medication!! lol
Luckily, he was fairly accepting of it, he admitted he was a sceptic, despite being deeply religious...but could tell it made me happy and that i truely believe in it all. He is a great doc!

I have come to a point where i pretty much dont care what people think any more. I know its real and thats all that matters, and im in contact with others who believe too. In progressing with psychic abilities you have to take the sceptism that goes with it. People are entitled to their opinion, so long as they leave me to mine.

yeah i have a few family members that i can say anything to. My grandfather is a MEGA sceptic...and event hough he was "dabbling" for a while and had a few experiences of his own, my fiance is a bit sceptical too.
I dont tell him about my experiences/visions as I think he is mostly jealous that i seemed to have surpassed him. He was getting into it for the wrong reasons (i think it was more of a "power trip" for him) which is why i think he was feeling blocked. He also doesnt have the patience for it. Some things are so cryptic sometimes, and may not make sense for a long time. I admit Im a bit edgy sometimes coz i just want to know NOW lol...but he wasnt dedicated enough

I think your grandfather and my husband would get along fantastically.

My husband had an operation and was dead for around 2 minutes. He claims that seeing his mother and father was nothing more than a dream, as his mother would never have knocked back a hug from him. I have given up trying to tell him that his mother was not therre to embrace him, but to send him back.....WHY oh why did she do that to me... Very Happy

my grandad doesnt say anything about it, but ive picked up that he has had a psychic xperience before, and I think it had to do with his first wife and her death (they were married for only 3 months before she died of leukemia) He doesnt speak about her. In fact noone (not even my grandmother) in my family knows much about her. I know a fair bit as i went to school with a guy who would have been a cousin somewhat (his aunty was my grandad's first wife) and he told me a fair bit about her. though I dont share the information I know....i feel that it is a "secret" between my grandfather and i...if he wanted the family to know, he would tell them.

Where-as my fiance...i have seen him arm wrestle a spirit (something i will never forget to this day!!) and yet is sceptical about my own experiences. But like I said...i think its a jealousy thing with him

Heya sharon....do you know what the name of the book will be? and when is it due out do yoou know?
