Am I losing it or is something really strange going on....?

Question

I am for the most part pretty sane and normal, and dont jump to conclusions. I always rationalize, but this is nuts! 3 weeks ago my pap (who I was very very close to), died unexpectedly.it's been extremely hard on me, but i'm getting along. the prob is, that since he died a few "strange" things have been happening. the two strangest are when i was transporting a pt (im an EMT), one of my electronic medical equipment started showing a reading and it wasnt hooked up to anyone,( reading as in a heartrate), and when I was alone (for sure) in the truck bay doing a rig check, something "hit" the back of my ambulance,( i heard it and felt the little vibration in the chasis).Could this stuff really be happening, and if so what do you think's going on? or am I just so crazy with grief right now that I could be having realistic halucinations??? help! i feel like i'm losing it!

Answer 1

ur not losing it, its normal.
his still with you, but just not the way u want him too.
he probaly just wants u to know his still with you and that he is watching over you.
these signs are good, it means his at peace with himself.
and he wants u to be at peace also.

Answer 2

I don't think you are crazy. Sometimes those who have passed on stay around. I don't know the reason why they do. I know how you feel though. My bf and I have been dating for four years and all of his family tells everyone that we are married. His father passed away in his sleep in late April. Ever since there have been a lot of strange things that have happened and are still happening. There are these lights in their front yard with five huge globes on it. The light had several blown bulbs for months. Since my bf's father was always working and he was always putting off fixing it. The day that he passed away all of the lights were working and my bf and I were talking about it. He said his dad must have fixed it. A few days after the service the lights were out again. There is a thornless blackberry bush in there back yard and the birds have eaten the berries every year since it has been planted back there. His mother came over the other day and told us that she was out there and the berries are so big on that bush that it is weighing it down. There have been other things happen like lights that were not working that suddenly began to work. My bf and his father were partners in an electrical business. Don't freak out...your Pap is just letting you know that he is still with you and he will always be there. God bless you...embrace those moments of weirdness with a laugh and feel comfort that he is still with you.

Answer 3

You are not crazy. If i never had anything happen to me I'd still say you weren't crazy. Anyway; my uncle was 19years old, he was murdered. He worked at a gas station and some guy came in and shot him 6 times with a 357 magnum. The guy was looking for somebody (a drug dealer) well the guy wasn't there so my uncle became the victim. My uncle would always come visit my mom he was a very loving person. Well after about a week of his death my mother and i would hear someone peeing in our toilet, like a man standing type of sound, so we would go in there and it would stop. Then we would hear it again. It happened about 14 days straight. Then it stopped. It was the most unique experience my mother and i ever had. We still miss him so very badly. It's been around 20 years ago. But i can remember it like it was yesterday.

This could just be a coincidence. From all the stress and grief you are going through it can make you think unclearly. Or the equipment could have malfunctioned. I don't know much about medical equipment, but I'm sure something could go wrong with it just the same as any other electronic equipment. As for something hitting your ambulance maybe something did you just didn't see what it actually was. Then again this could be him trying to communicate with you just to let you know he is still around and he is watching over you.

Answer 5

There are four possibilities:

1. Your father has returned as a ghost. It is probably only a remnant of his life force, but a part of your father nonetheless.

2. Your grief is causing you to manifest paranormal phenomena around you.

3. You are going crazy, or at least slightly hallucinating.

4. There is a perfectly normal explanation for the things that are going on, and you just have failed to see it as of yet.

It could be any of the above... Am I missing anything?

Answer 6

listen to arvecar. she is right all the way. before i read her answer i was going to say the same thing.

u are not crazy at all. the supernatural IS real. sometimes u really could be hallucinating (the human mind plays tricks), however in times like this after u have lost someone u love this kind of thing happens. u are not alone with these experiences. those 'strange' occurences could have been caused by your 'pap'. he is just letting u know that he made it to the other side and he is ok. he just wants to let u know that. pray to him, tell him u got his 'messages' and tell him 'goodbye for now'. don't worry i believe that one day we will be reunited with our departed loved ones, so u will most def. see him again :)

i'm sorry for your loss. u r not crazy

Answer 7

Nothing strange is going on. The heartrate thing could be a regular pulse of electro magnetic radiation from any of a number of sources. The jolt to the back of your van could also be one of a number of things.
Of course many things happen that cannot be explained by science, ghosts are simply electro - magnetic radiation. Grief does weird things to us, but in that state our minds are open to many things we would normally rationalise.
I am neither religious nor into freakyness, I speak from experience. Nine years after a massive brain injury doctors still cannot work out how I come to be still alive when several vital function areas of my brain were wiped out. So I guess I'm the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

A ghost is basically electrical energy, break open an atom and its nuclear energy. Thats what animates us as you know. You are not going crazy, if you are in such grief over your pap, maybe he is trying to tell you he is ok and still with you in the spirit. If you think it might be him, speak to him, tell him it is ok. If you feel embarassed by this, do it when you are alone. Tell him you love him and its ok to go now you will be alright. That you miss him but you realize he has to go and its beautiful where hes going, into the light. Sometimes when people die suddenly, they are confused and don't realize they are dead. Tell him what has happened and assure him it is ok, that he can go. It might stop your problem. Good Luck

The subject is; what happens to us when we die. It’s a hard subject. Why does it matter what we believe about what happens to a person when they die? Well, it was Satan’s first lie to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:4 “And the serpent said to the woman, ye shall not surely die.” Is there a question as to who the serpent is; reference Rev.12:9 “That old serpent called the Devil, and Satan.” Could this subject be more important than we think? Why is this important now? Turn to Matthew chapter twenty-four we’ll begin in verse twenty (read through verse twenty-seven) If someone claimed to have a visitation of a much beloved relative and the relative told you to do something that was against God’s principles what would you do? But, what about those mediums who help people, are they bad too? How can we know if someone is from God or not? God says through Isaiah in Isaiah 8:19 & 20 (read) “If they speak not according to This Word, it is because there is no light in them” God does not use the dead to “help” the living. This is a deception of the devil. I want you to write down the following texts to study them when you get home because I will not take the time right now to read them all. Exodus 7:11, 1 Samuel 28:3-25, Daniel 2:2, Acts 16:16-18, Revelation 18:23, and 2 Corinthians 11:13 Satan has used sorcery all throughout the Bible to deceive people and it is predicted that he will continue to do so. Rev. 16:14 and Rev13:13 & 14 What did God command the children of Israel to do to those people who claimed to do sorcery? Let’s read Leviticus 20 verse 27 Now lets turn to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 13 start in verse one (continue to verse five then skip to verse ten) When giving the punishments for various “sins” to the Israelites the Lord reserved stoning for the most serious of offences. Sometime read the book of laws or Leviticus but especially chapter twenty.
So, again let’s go back to the beginning. What is “a living soul”? Genesis 2:7 Dust and breath, that is what we are (Have some sand in a pan and lift it up and let it fall through fingers back into pan) dust and breath (blow). Please turn to Genesis 3:19 Dust you are and to dust you return. Let’s look at a controversial text. The book of Ecclesiastes chapter twelve and verse seven, (read it) dust to the ground, spirit to God who gave it. So one might ask what is the spirit if not what we commonly call a ghost? First we’ll turn to James it’s a little book right after Hebrews. We’ll read in chapter two verse twenty-six. This chapter is mostly talking about faith without deeds being dead, but here in verse twenty-six it states, “The body without the ‘spirit’ is dead.” Not much, we didn’t already know, but what is this spirit? The book of Job sheds some light on the fact in chapter 27 verse three; Job is talking to his friends about God. He states that as long as he has life in him the breath of God in his nostrils he will not…deny his integrity. It goes back to dust and breath again. So what does happen to a person when they die? Ezekiel 18:20 states that the soul that sins, it shall die. In first Timothy chapter six verses 15 and 16 Paul is talking to Timothy and says (read) God is the only one who is immortal. Let’s see if we can find out where the dead are. What is it like for those that have died? Does the Bible give us any indication? Ps 115:17 “The dead praise not the Lord neither any that go down into silence.” And again in Ecc 9:5, 6 & 10 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.” “Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with all thy might for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” God says the dead know not anything.

Answer 10

Sounds like 'pap' is trying to get your attention to let you know he is ok, and you don't have to be sad anymore. He just wants to let you know he loves you and he's ok. Just tell him (when no-one is around of course so others don't think you're nuts) that you love him, you miss him, and you are aware of his presence. Tell him he can move on now, or stay if there are things he feels he needs to help you with. But try not to keep him a prisoner here for you.

Answer 11

No, you are not losing it. I believe in reincarnation, and I also believe some entities take longer to find their path. Your father may be staying around to watch out for you. He may not know how to communicate, and trying to use avenues that wont scare you. If you wouldn't feel "crazy", try talking to the air. Let him know you are OK and you will always have him close to your heart. If you believe in reincarnation, you know you two will be together again. We are emotionally linked forever, and while we don't realize from one life to the next who's who, there is an internal recognition. What draws us to one person rather than another is previous bonds we have established.
