Have you ever seen a ghost or spirit?

Question

I must have been in 3rd grade when it happened. I wasn’t sure who it was when I saw her but it was something or someone. She was just a little older then me. She came in through the window I remember because I was cold. I forgot my blanket and I was on the top bunk in the bedroom I shared with my younger brother, Jeremiah. I woke him up just before we saw her. I was trying to get him to get my blanket (what are little brothers for). Well, she was beautiful. She had red hair, a long white dress with a stripe along the bottom couple inches about 2 inches wide. I could not see her feet. Did she have feet? I don’t know. They could have been too transparent to see or just that the dress was too long to see. I remember her face. She looked puzzled or lost. I’m sure it was the same face I had on. I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Well, anyway, she floated in and stood there staring at us for a few minuets. How long I don’t really know, but it seamed like a few minuets. She was standing by the green vinyl couch we had in our bedroom. Then she turned and floated into the rest of the house. It was just a few minutes of my life, but it affected my thoughts for the rest of my life.

I first thought it was because I took a fly earlier that day and took the wings off and felt bad for him and tried to take care of him and put the poor little fly in a crack of the couch and fed him, but I never saw the poor little walk… a… I mean fly again. And the ghost came for the fly. Silly I know.

Later I believed and for years later I was sure it was my future daughter coming back to see her future father. It scared me. I mean why would she be that age unless that was the age she died years later. And a red head. Not me or anyone in my family has red hair. We all have dark brown almost black hair. How could I have a red head, unless I marry a red head hmmm that won’t happen! A red head? Is my future wife a red head?

No my future wife has brown hair almost as brown as mine so the odds of me with a red head was slim so who was she?

It’s a girl! We had our first child no red hair.
It’s a boy! Three more years later we had our second child. But wait! What color is the peach fuzz on that cute little head of his? Is it red! Wow I cant tell for shure but it looks like it might be. We would have to wait to see for sure but I think it may have been enough to make me almost pass out and render me useless for the rest of delivery. The doctors looked worried because he may have swallowed fluid or something like that, witch contributed to my wussyness im sure.

Wow does this mean I was right? Could I have a red haired girl? After talking to my grandpa black a few years later I discovered that he had red hair, when younger(wasent it always gray?). and wife maricia’s grandma was a red head. So it was genetically possible to have red heads(obviously). But after thinking bout it and talking to my mother I discovered she may have had a red headed child also. Dara would have been just a few years older then me. She died as a little baby and was born with less hair then Nathan my boy. So she had no idea what color her hair was. I will be willing to bet that it was and still is red. And that was dara tacking a tour of the house and checking up on her family.

Funny how I will never forget the look on her face when we saw each other and we were never on this earth that everyone knows at the same time.

Answer 1

This is a great story. Your red headed girl could well have been your older sister - then again, she might not have been. The point being, at the very least, you were given the opportunity to see that life does continue after bodily death.

I have seen many ghosts in my life. When I was a young girl, around 2 - 3, I had a little girl ghost who used to play with me in my sandbox in the backyard. My family thought I had an imaginary friend but when I was old enough to verbalize the experience, they quickly changed their minds. Why? Because the little girl that I was playing with was clothed in garments from the 1600s.

Later in life, my grandmother came to visit me when she had passed away. She was an amazing woman and on the night that she died, she visited with everyone in the family. Needless to say, the following morning the telephone rang off the hook. Everyone in the family was calling each other to see if they'd had a similar experience. We all had. And the funny thing about it was, when my mother was called from the nursing home to tell her that her mother had passed away, her response was, "We already know!"

Answer 2

I have never seen the traditional image of a spirit, ghost, or demon. However I did see on three separate occasions a cluster of small lights about thirty to fifty moving around in randomly only three feet away from me. I know that what I was seeing was real because I looked away from it twice, looked back and it was still there in the same place and not any where else I looked off to. I also looked at it from different angles and it had depth to it. I believe what I saw was indeed Angels because when I saw the cluster I felt an abundance of peace immediately after. Twice in 1999 and once this year in March. Maybe Angels are a lot smaller than we think.

Answer 3

Can't say if I did. I'm 35 now, but one time when I was 33 and living with my younger brother. I was in the bathroom washing up near the sink. I was certain no one was in the house with me at the time. The lights were mostly off in the other parts in the apartment. All of a sudden I noticed with my peripheral vison that someone was looking at me from the living room. I turned, startled and noticed for 1-2 seconds a "red haze" move quickly away to it's side and vanish in thin air. I thought it was my brother at first, and called his name as I walked around the house, but no one was home. I know I'm not nuts, but I figured I might have needed either mental therapy or a spirit medium at the time.

Answer 4

Yes I have seen into the spiritual world.

As I lay in a hospital bed waiting to go to surgery, I prayed to God to give me peace and to take away the fear I felt.

When I opened my eyes my bed was completely surrounded by heavenly angels, kneeling in prayer around the entire bed. Thousands of them, they were rather small, but the light that illuminated from them was brilliant and nearly blinding.

I could see a giant muscular arm welding a sword over the entire length of my body. There was lightening coming from no where bouncing off of the great sword.

When I looked up above my head there stood a giant angle with white hair, beard and massive wings. Light illuminated from his very being and I could feel the force and strength deep within my soul. I felt very protected and safe. I was washed in a peace like I had never experienced before. I believe he is my guardian angel.

And no I had not received any medication yet....

I have felt his presence often since that experience.

I have had other spiritual experiences but this was the most vivid and memorable.

Answer 5

Yes I saw a fellow nurse's 'spirit' who had died in a car accident in the hall of the hospital. I 'felt' the presence of a few relatives after they had died. They left me messages.

Also lived in an old house in the French Quarter of New Orleans and every night footsteps would come up the stairs and rattle the doorknob. No one was there in the hall when I'd look. After a while I just stopped looking and shared the place with the former tenet.

Answer 6

I grew up in a house that had a ghost.There were several times I saw things. I researched the matter, and my best guess is that it was the guy who built the house back in the 1800's who just didn't want to leave.Can't say I blame him.It was a great house.

Answer 7

No, I haven't yet. But may be if I see one and know that it floats in the air and permeates any solid, that's the time for me to run because he might enter in my body and bring me somewhere.

Answer 8

yes there have been times when spirits have been seen who are interested in contacting others from a different plane of existence. there have also been some interactions between these spirits from another plane and those residing on this plane.

Answer 9

I agree 110% with Kristen. Everyone might need to re read her answer.

Answer 10

Yes, I saw my departed friend in my hallway with her dog. That is my one and only experience. She was there, I saw her.
