My 87 year old aunt is visiting with me. My Mom, her sister, is dead. My aunt has been like a Mom since I was 14; and through her, I was able to attend college.She has always encouraged me.While I was brushing my teeth today I heard her open the front door.Nobody was outside; and she seemed surprised as she had heard a knock.. Of course older people may imagine things but when my parents were alive, they scolded me once for knocking on the door and disappearing.Why they were certain it was me remains a mystery.I was sleeping at the time of the incident. I have heard knocks and thought it was my brother.Sometimes he would appear moments later and deny having knocked on the door previously.I suspect spiritual implications because my aunt was adamant about moving to another bedroom.I have decided to listen,My parents used to do things at times that seemed odd to explain at the time too. Any comments and advice would be appreciated.

My grandma had an angel who would sit at the end of her bed and talk to her.
She also talked to her deceased husband through dreams.
Who knows? Maybe we do get a bit more 'sensitive' to other energies or the metaphysical the older we get.
Then again, I also think young kids are extremely perceptive too, before "real life" clouds those natural abilities. I think if we "quiet" our lives down a bit, we too could potentially make ourselves more 'sensitive' as well.
Good question.

I have come to learn that sometimes you will have to take the fall for events that you had nothing to do with simply because the other person cannot make enough sense out of the situation to think anything other than the fact that you are responsible.
When I was a child I was playing in the sandbox behind the school building. Two older kids came by and threw rocks at the building causing a window to break. They ran away and by the time someone came outside to see what caused the window to break, I was sitting in the sandbox with a rock in each hand.
I got into serious trouble that day and I had no way to explain my way out of it. The woman who accused me of doing this saw me sitting there with rocks in my hand. In her mind, thats all she needed to know about the situation to be convinced that I did it. I pleaded on and on about how I didn't do it and was some other boys who ran away.
She didn't think to ask how I could throw a rock if I have both hands occupied with rocks. She didn't think to ask why I didn't run if I did it and then denied it. And certainly she didn't think to ask herself why I would break the window and then go back to playing in the sandbox.

It's called precognitive intuition. Some people are more in touch with it than other. Sometimes as you get older you develop it more because you have less on your mind and it develops naturally. If you learn to use it properly you can do things that will suprise a lot of people including yourself. Sometimes it works the wrong way, when you know someone is doing something and then you catch them at it, it hurts everyone involved. Sometimes not knowing can be better.

A lot of people are born sensitive and yes, some do gain more sensitivity as they age. If you think they are visits, or that someone is trying to get your attention you can ask for a sign. You can ask that they leave a fragrance, like roses, if they are there. My dad has passed on and sometimes I feel that he comes to visit. Nothing wrong with that. Ask your Aunt why she changed rooms. If someone is trying to get her attention, or if someone is bothering her, you can do a clearing if you want by sprinkling salt around all the doors and windows in your home.

Hi, My Mom just recently passed away. She was 87. She was living with me, and to answer your question. Yes, they are more sensitive. They start to get dementure. ( Always forgetting) And they imagine things too. It's not easy at that age. Cherish your time with her. Be careful. Next time she opens the door, she may keep walking. And not even realize what she's doing., You have to really keep an eye on them at that age. Good Luck, And God Bless you for being there for her.

That's the way the elderly do when they get up in age. I set with an 87 year old man and he has Altimers and he's forgetful and into everything. Some times I have felt that I was treating him like a child but that's kind of how you have to deal with him.

the final style of chum is the type you may take a seat on a porch and swing with, by no potential say a be conscious, and then walk away feeling like it replace into the final verbal replace you have ever had. yet be reminded, it takes great quantity of time to realize such intensity of information before. Cherish friendship and it cherishes our suggestions. Have superb day forward!

My elderly aunt was convinced that two people, a man and woman, lived in her house. They never spoke, but she saw them often, always when she was alone in the house. The doctor said she had dementia. Maybe. But when she spoke about the people, her descriptions were very detailed and not confused or fuzzy at all. Gave me goose bumps. Maybe as people are older and closer to death, they have a clearer vision into other planes of existence. I dunno.

brrr! a friendly spirit,...
Actually, I have a story to tell (which I won't), BUT, I have NEVER believed in ghosts (-and I STILL DON'T)---BUT, I had a run-in with something at someone's house, that I STILL cannot explain. It was the middle of the night and I PINCHED myself! I don't know what it was- and I kind of keep it to myself-only a couple of people have heard me speak of it,......
You know what?? satan can make things go 'bump' in the night. Maybe he works days, too.
