I sent my DD18 a text "c'mere" : she was up in her room and I needed help with dinner. But it never went through, I was holding my phone wondering why it wasn't sending, and suddenly there she was in the kitchen. Weird.

When I get really upset it seems like my mind makes things happen. Things on shelves fall and shatter, one time all the stove's gas burners turned on at once, lights flicker, stuff like that. It could be coincidence. The other night I was upset, really upset, and a ceramic dish fell and shattered. It was in the same place I always put it, and from there it would have been a convoluted path to the floor. I always get scared when this happens.

My ofc isn't that big - abt 130. But there've been an unusual amt of deaths since last yr. Three spouses have died. Two have lost a sibling. One lost his mom & sister w/in 3 months. One lost an adult child. One's mom had surgery, was fine, but w/in a week had a stroke, went on hospice and died the next week. One lost both parents in a car crash. Four others have lost a parent unexpectedly. Brand-new CW went 1200 miles away and committed suicide. A CW died suddenly two weeks ago. Can't even list all the weird incidents/bad luck other than the one whose home burned down, one whose dh went in for routine surgery that became a 6mo ordeal of surgeries and ICU & one being attacked by a negative entity. Woke up this morning w/ an older CW's name being repeated in my head. Never met her, only spoke once on the phone last yr. As I was texting our mgr to see if she is okay, I saw/heard something fall off the roof and onto the deck. Dog heard it too. There is nothing on the deck...

It's my understanding that they see us and hear us, whether we speak to them out loud or in our minds. If you feel paranoid that he's reading your mind, it's OK to set boundaries. Tell him not now or ask him to visit you in a dream, or in some other way. Some people feel scared about opening themselves up to negative spirits, so it's good to have an affirmation, like saying, "Nothing negative/evil has permission to be near me," etc. I flat out tell negative spirits to fuck off, but that's just me, lol.

Do I have to talk to him out loud or silently in my head? Can he see me? Read my mind?

I have learned a lot in this lifetime. I think my soul has grown. It's like I'm on the teenage years of soulness if that makes any sense.

My mom died when I was little but she visits through music. She loved Creedence Clearwater Revival and so many times, when I've been troubled CCR has come on. Car radio, doctor office, elevator muzak. And I just know it is her. Although I wish she was still alive, it is wonderful having your mom as your guardian angel. I should have been dead or in jail (not proud but true). Mom love + spirit power, she can pretty much conquer anything. And me straightening out, trying to be a better person, is my way of thankful and aware.

Yup :) This is a really common way spirit communicates with us. A weird thought or picture in your head, and you go, "Whoa! Where the hell did that come from?" Most people can't outright see them, so they find other ways. Dreams, smells, insects, animals. Just because they're dead doesn't mean they don't care about us. I totally believe your friend stopped by to see you. You know, the more you talk to him, the more he'll "talk" to you.

I was standing at my window looking out and across my mind flashed a picture of my recently deceased friend walking up to my door looking like he used to look when he'd walk up to my door many years ago. Same color clothes, a shirt he used to wear often. This image flashed across my mind, I didn't see an actual person or even a flimsy ghost of a person there. It was all mental. Is this how the deceased show themselves to others? It was a little jarring but gave me a good feeling, like he wanted me to know he was coming into my house. I haven't seen him since but would like to.

Addendum to my 15 years in the building of doom: It's a public library and we actually have the true crime book about the murdering staff member in our collection. Fourth floor, 370s
