What do we call ourselves? Mediums? Anybody else see the dead?
Edited on Sat May-06-06 03:52 PM by KyndCulture
I know for sure I'm not nuts well I think I'm not, but I'd really love to talk to others who see them.

I just saw some kids last night and this one got me. I checked the library website today for the newspapers... and this house that has been up for auction for months on the corner of my block, is up for auction because the kids died in a car accident during an ice storm in November last year. The parents are still alive but split up soon after.

I saw the kids last night walking home.


I'd love to start a thread with others who have this experience.... or just tell me I'm nuts LOL.

1. Nobody here's going to think that you're nuts, KyndCulture.
I don't see the dead myself, but I totally believe that some people have that gift. There are definitely some people who visit this forum who also have this gift. I hope that they see this thread.

4. gift? yeah sometimes..
mostly it freaks me out.

I'm glad that people here won't think I'm nuts. I get tired of saying "did you see that?"


When my boyfriend saw my grandmother at the top of our stairs and I pulled out the picture of her.... suffice it to say he was not sleeping well that night.

2. Wow, how neat! I have seen and spoken with some of
my dear long gone relatives. And, one friend who crossed over. But, this has only happened when I've been on the verge of falling asleep in my bed. Never any other time.

Oh, and I did have a great uncle smile at me while I was looking at a photo of him. I think he was pleased that I had been collecting and archiving some of his art work.

Please, tell us more about the kids! Did they seem to be OK?? Did they appear to be lost??

3. They are confused not lost, this is the second time I've seen them.
Edited on Sat May-06-06 05:17 PM by KyndCulture
I'm trying to figure out if I can help them, because I see them on the steps just like if it was you or me standing there.

The girl is maybe 5 and the boy is 7 or 8.


They look like they need something. It freaks me out. I want to run up and hug them but if I step into the yard they go away.


I see them from the street right in front of the door.

6. Stay calm, they cannot hurt you. They are confused and not sure
what to do. They might not even realize that they are now dead.

They need for you to help them pass over and go to the light.

Again stay calm, don't freak out. It will be OK and you can help them pass over peacefully.

These are some of the things you can try. Try to meditate and send the children love and good feelings. If you can say a prayer of any kind depending upon your faith and beliefs, that is very helpful. Then tell the children that they have died in a car accident and it is time for them to go to heaven and be with the angels. Also ask your spirit guide and angels to help you, and help the children.

Keep telling the children that all they have to do is look for the light and go toward it. They will be safe and someone should come to help them if they can stay calm. Everything will be OK.

You can burn a candle and put out a bowl of water as well. The important thing is to stay calm and send the kind of messages I am describing.

As an aside, I hate to see children of any status suffer and I just don't know why the spirit guides let these kids hang around, but that is a whole other story and gets into free will and other things.

My good friend who does this kind of work and I have discussed this and actually I may be able to go out with her on her next job like this. I am so looking forward to it!

And yes I have contact with discarnate spirits from time to time. I do not see them, I hear them and they send me word pictures and feelings. They hang in my aura on the right side of my head. And yes I feel crazy and silly most of the time. I keep it secret mostly, and lead an ordinary suburban life.

9. Thanks Cassie
Edited on Sat May-06-06 08:40 PM by KyndCulture
Your messages are total truth. I feel overwhelming confused when I go by that house... it's in my stomach, I can't really explain it. It's like I don't know which way is home, even though my house is just steps away.

I don't think the kids know they are dead. I remember that storm vividly, it was horrible and lots of people died on the roads. The ice was unreal.

I'm gonna go back later tonight and see if there is anything I can do to help.

Those poor babies... they need some help.

10. Yes, see what you can do. These poor kids....
Edited on Sat May-06-06 09:37 PM by cassiepriam
Yes the total confusion feeling is coming from them, they do not realize what has happened, they are scared and very upset. Waiting for Mom and Dad to come home.

You can do this. Help them get off the earth plane to the other side.

You and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I am sending you prayers now.

edited to add a PS:

Please stay safe, I didn't realize it was an empty house. Bring someone with you if need be. And you can't go into the house, but I think you will see the kids anyway around the property or on the sidewalk.
Your spirit guides will help you if you ask for it.

14. So I went back to the house around 11:30 last night.
I waited til most of my neighbors weren't around, less they see me talking to the air and call the guys in the white coats. LOL.

Anyway, I think it went well. Like I said, if I step into the yard they go away. I think they are scared of me. So I stayed by the curb, they were both there on the steps by the front door, same place I've been seeing them, waiting for someone to come and let them in the house. I got that overwhelming confusion again. It felt like I didn't have any clue where I was, like when your car breaks down on a street you don't know even though my house was just a few yards away. I tried to light a white candle but eventhough there was no wind at all it wouldn't stay lit while I was there. So I sat down on the curb and closed my eyes and asked the kids if they could see a light. I didn't really feel any answers to my questions but I told them there was safety and friends in the light, and that a bad thing had happened to them and that I knew how scared they must be but they have to go now. I guess I was sitting there about 20 minutes and all of a sudden I felt incredibly stupid for sitting on this curb in the middle of the night. I think they left because it was nothing but an empty house that's being auctioned off on Tuesday when I turned around and looked again.

I think I helped. I think whoever buys that house owes me a beer for saving them from a couple of little ghosts that probably would have scared the bejesus out of them.

18. Thank you I sure could use some good karma right now.
This thread has been wonderful. I feel pretty darn good today about what I did.

I've been seeing them since I was little, my mom does too. The only person that I've ever discussed this with is my ex boyfriend who is still my best buddy. He KNOWS I'm not nuts, cause if I am, he is too... I brought too many univited guests to our home over the years. The 7 yrs we lived together he went from a devout atheist to one very open minded man. LOL

29. Oh also there seems to be some familial factors. That is inherited
Edited on Sun May-07-06 05:15 PM by cassiepriam
tendencies. Many psychics state that mothers or grandmothers were also psychic. I don't know if it is actually an inherited kind of thing or just having a supportive psychic environment allows innate common skills to emerge. Or maybe a combination of both.

I suspect that some folks are born with well developed pineal glands, or that some brain injuries or near death experiences change the brain chemistry and structure somehow.

16. LOL on the white coats, I was wondering what you were gonna do
Edited on Sun May-07-06 10:40 AM by cassiepriam
if the neighbors called the police. I would like to have heard your explanation to the officers as to what you were doing and why. :)

You did very very well. It was perfect.

Poor kids, just waiting at the doorstep. The fact you could no longer feel their confused feelings is a very good sign. Hopefully this has taken care of it. Sometimes it takes a second effort, but usually first time does the trick.

Some younger souls, and these must have been young souls, have difficulty leaving the body in the event of a violent death or a very quick one. They are in shock and denial. Older souls know how to leave the body quickly and may even do it before the traumatic death. It also makes me think they must have been killed instantly, so they had no inkling at all what happened. They were still hanging on to some of their body auric field.

I liked how you told them that something bad had happened, that was better that my suggestion that they be told they had died in a car crash, that was bit too frank for scared children. You did a very nice job.

LOL the new neighbors owe you more than a beer, the going rate for what you did is minimum $200.....

17. Yes I would like to know what I woulda said to a cop too...
I think it would have gone something like this. Ma'am who are you talking to? I'm talking to those 2 kids on the steps. What kids? Ma'am have you been drinking...... and it's all downhill from there. LOL


I wish I knew their names. I couldn't find the obit just the articles about the accident, so many people died that night. They may not have been buried here. The 2 articles I found mentioned their parents were from North Dakota. The next door neighbor told me the parents split up and moved away and let the bank take the house. I guess they didn't realize exactly what and who they were leaving behind.

Seeing the dead is not something I discuss with very many people, but it sure is good to find some people to talk to about it.

I'm wondering if I can train myself to hear them. Sometimes I get pictographs in my head, just flashes behind what looks like TV static. I know they are trying to communicate but I don't hear them. It's a piece of the puzzle that would be useful. Like these kids, they sent me pictures of school and winter activities like sledding and snow probably the things they were doing on their last day on earth. That's what I thought anyway.

Hey I been looking for that "turning 40 this year" career change, maybe I found it.

21. You could always have said you were on Ambien. :(
Maybe you could get a little Ghostbusters ID Card, and logo on your shirt. That might give the cops pause...

Actually police depts use psychics quite a bit, but keep it secret. Often sending their wives for example to get help on a big case.

Back to your situation. Usually in these cases the spirits go back to the house. They do not identify with their dead bodies, they do not even know that they are dead in many cases. So even if they had been buried elsewhere or even cremated they would go back to the house. That is why you most often hear about haunted houses, or where ever the discarnate spirit resided. The homes where they lived carry some energetic imprints that gives them comfort.

And yes the parents may have been too distraught, angry and heartbroken to receive any messages from their children. And the children most likely were hurt, scared and angry that mom and dad would not respond to them or talk to them. That is part of the confusion. They may be hoping for the parents to come back.

Yes I think the kids were sending you messages about who they are and what they were doing the last days of their lives. They are wondering what has happened.

In terms of developing psychic skills, the theory is that our pineal glands and the pituitary are the receivers of psychic messages. So we can all develop these glands to be better receivers. Meditation is the best way to do that. Also clear away all negative thoughts and feelings etc. The triad I believe in the most is from Edgar Cayce and he said, service, prayer and meditation is the way to obtain psychic gifts.

But to strengthen the pineal gland meditate nightly and do some some low throat humming, and you can feel the third eye vibrate. And also that whole pineal gland area. The vedics hum or say OMMMMMMMM. But it can be any low throat noise that vibrates the area of the brain above the nose.

Well you have a point, maybe you should think about it as a niche specialty in the psychic field. Most psychics don't really like doing this kind of work for many reasons. I think it takes a certain personality and headset to do it well and enjoy it. Also have to have strong nerves as the feelings of these discarnate spirits can be overwhelming as you have witnessed first hand! At any rate you may want to google it and see what you find. I know that there are very good training and workshops on communicating with discarnate spirits. Do you get the Omega catalogue? They have some very good training it looks like, if you think you need it. You may be beyond what they offer in termis of your skills.

Good job! Keep me posted as to what happens with the kids, if you see them again or if they are gone.

Oh I don't know if this helps, but the heart chakra is how I send my messages out. You may want to do heart chakra meditations nightly.

The messages come in to the pineal gland, or third eye. And then messages go out thru the heart chakra, that is where anything healing comes from.

26. All great advice.
I am wondering today why they seek me out. Over the years, there have been many "uninvited" guests in my home. Seeing those kids was just a happy accident on my nightly walk.

I got to thinking today, I posted this down thread, but you mentioning the pineal gland made me think a little further.

I know the pineal gland is located midline in the brain. I had a very severe brain injury when I was 5 months old. On the left side of my head just behind the ear, a skull fracture. I died several times and was in a coma for 2 months.

I am wondering if there is a connection to what I can see and feel and what happened to me when I was a baby.

27. Yes some of that seems to be the case.
Some psychic skills seem to be related to head injuries and near death experiences. Also death of one's child.

Interestingly I also had a skull fracture as a young child, and as an adult a Grade 3 concussion.

I think that discarnate spirits are trying to communicate with all of us. Some of us are just better at sensing it.

I also wonder why more seem to come to me. I think that maybe I have a sign that says "Spirit Phone Booth" in neon letters on top of my head. :)

Seriously I think that spirits are aware of who has psychic talents and may be drawn to those folks.

The spirit world is said to exist all around us. Heaven is not way up in the sky. It is about four feet above our heads! The spirits are there all the time. Some of us are just more tuned into them than others.

28. Yes that is very interesting.
I know that a number of mediums have said that certain types of spirits come to the left side of the head, others on the right. And that there is meaning in the placement.

But mine are always in the same spot. Right side of the head, from the top center of the head and to my right ear, just as you say.

5. This is not uncommon with discarnate children or adults who have died
suddenly, especially if it was a violent death. They are confused and not able to pass over to the other side. They tend to stay at the home where they lived when alive, their comfort zone. People call them ghosts. But they cannot hurt you.

There are some things you can do to help them toward the light. I am going to PM you.

A friend of mine does this kind of work and can add further advice if need be.

To ask that the children be helped to pass over peacefully and soon.
And to give you guidance and help with this project.

8. One last PS.....
Kynd, I think you may want to do some protection for yourself. This is a way to strengthen your aura in the event you do not want discarnate beings visiting you so much. If it is stressful for you to get these kind of visits there is a way to decrease them.

It is up to you, but you might want to read about how to do this kind
of spiritual protection, psychic protection.

Let me know what happens with the children. I am saying some prayers for them right now.

11. I don't 'see' them, in general, but I get 'notes' from folks I knew ...
... my mom, a former b/f who died in a plane crash, Kef ... and they're different depending on the person. My mom, who passed 20 years ago this Nov., will let me know she's here with olfactory or auditory sensations (her perfume, something she used to cook, hearing a bird native to northern WI when I'm in downtown Indianapolis) ...

Alan used to come to me when I was meditating or asleep in a series of repetitive-themed 'dreams' which came in spurts - several in a week, then none for a few months, then they'd start again, etc - over about 5 years time ...

And Kef leaves little hints (like shiny new pennies in odd places and the Eye of Horus sticky from his memorial service that disappears and reappears around my apartment) and other times I can actually hear him giggling.


O8) They're all good. O8)

12. My connections are in this form as well, hippiechick....
especially smells strongly linked to loved ones who have died, although I do believe I have seen many dead animals - not just my pets - crossing my path.

And after my Mom's death I kept seeing little Robin-Red-Breasts who seemed to be trying to make contact with me for my Mom somehow - can't explain this very well, but it seemed very powerful and true at the time.

13. Aw. It's great that you still here from Kephra.
And your other loved ones, too, of course.

I thought I was the only one who heard from deceased loved ones via smells. Happens to me three or four times a year. In fact, about thirty-six hours ago, I was suddenly feeling nostalgic for my grandparents' house in Springfield, Missouri, (my grandfather's second wife sold it after he passed in 2004). I was actually thinking of digging through some suitcases I haven't really unpacked since the last time I was in that house, a month before he died, to look for the sweaters that would still have the scent of that place, because I haven't washed them since (sentimentality--I have successfully completed the grieving process for grandpa). Today, the smell of my grandfather's soap has been everywhere.

30. Psychic olfactory (smell) is actually a very common way
spirits communicate. I do not get much of that however, I wish I did!

19. Here's another story for you guys.
The most haunted house I ever lived in. BAD ju ju in this townhouse. We ended up moving because of it. I couldn't sleep without some uninvited person bothering me, my boyfriend would tell me that I'd wake up talking and it was in no way my voice coming out of my mouth, it scared the shit out of him. I tried every thing I could think of to cleanse this place. NOTHING worked. Salt, obsidian stones by the doors, more prayers than I can remember, candles everywhere. Didn't matter. These were some bad news ghosts.


The place was a 4 plex townhouse with a common roof. I should have got the hint the day we moved in. My 2 roomates and my boyfriend and I were in the kitchen unpacking and the door bell rang, we ordered a pizza and that's what I expected to see... When I opened the door there was a latino woman standing there with a cordless phone asking me if she could come in and use her phone in our place to call the police. Her dress was torn and her cheeks were all bloody. She said her husband was going crazy and beating her and her daughter. I didn't see any daughter though. I of course let her in and got her some ice for her face and a tshirt to cover up her bra. She called the police, I didn't intrude on the phone call so I don't know what she said. After that she left. We all looked at each other and shrugged and went about our business... after an hour or so my roomate Kelly (also a sensitive) asked why we haven't heard sirens or seen the police. So her and I walked outside and went to the address the woman told us she lived at.... the place was absolutely vacant, there were dust covered flyers on the window, this place had been for sale for a very long time.

We freaked out and came home and proceeded to get really drunk!

Nothing ever got better in that house. People who slept over would have the most bizarre violent outbursts, totally out of character stuff. There was a rage that hung over this place that is indescribable.

I have no clue what or who it was but after 5 months of this we broke our lease paid a fortune in fees and got the hell out of there.

22. It gave me chills just to read this. Some paranormal things are fun...
but this sounds as though it was a nightmare.

In this case, other people saw the person also, right? I wonder if the dead are drawn to you for some reason. I wonder if that "woman" would have still rung the bell if you hadn't been there.

Did the other townhouses in the group also have weird things going on?

23. Oh yeah it was a nightmare.
Kelly and I were the only sensitives that lived there. But many of our friends who came to visit felt the heaviness in the air, the rage. My friend Seth, who is an exceptional sensitive put his fist through the kitchen wall in the middle of a conversation for absolutely no reason. My pyrex pans and pots would break out of the blue and explode glass all over the kitchen.

No one lived in that building for very long. The next door neighbors moved in about the same time as us and moved out the month before we did. No one ever bought the vacant condo where the woman said she lived.

EVERYONE saw her, and everyone saw too may weird things.

And I won't even get into what my cats were like..... holy cow.

24. I know the dead are drawn to me.
Edited on Sun May-07-06 12:26 PM by KyndCulture
I had a severe brain injury when I was 5 months old. I died a few times. My highchair collapsed and I fell on my head on a ceramic tile floor. Remember those old high chairs from the 60's with the scissor legs...

When I was in a coma my mom said that a woman in a blue nightgown was always with me. She recognized the woman as her mother who died from ovarian cancer when she was only 29. 30 years before I was born.

I have always suspected that the head injury and the near death experiences, even though I don't remember anything are the reason why they come to me. I was there with them for a time.

25. We recently had a book read in the forum for the book...
"Journey of Souls" by Michael Newton, PhD. (cassiepriam recommended the book.) You might find it interesting. Here's a link to the thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=245&topic_id=18569&mesg_id=18569


The book talks about what happens when we die, how we determine what our next life should be, soul levels, and much more. Maybe everything that you went through as a child was what was required to get you to the point where you really could see and relate with discarnate souls. I really enjoyed this book! (I plan to read his second book "Destiny of Souls", which is a continuation on the first, from what I understand.)

31. Your grandma came to keep you alive, most likely.
And yes you could have died and been sent back. Not your time.
That leaves many with psychic skills as I said in previous post.

35. Sounds like my present domicile. More or less.
The negative energy here is quite pronounced. It's one reason I'm finally relocating at the end of the summer if all goes as planned. The negative energy doesn't go away. I feel I'm insulated and protected from it, but--my roommates? Other vistors? Our pets? Not so much. And there's nothing I've been able to do to cleanse this place in any permanent sense. I don't think it would be possible to do that. So, I'm gone, and I wish my roommates luck after I leave. They'll continue to need it.

32. My mother always said some of our ancestors were mediums
I know that some belonged to the Spiritual Church back in the 1890s. I don't use the term myself; I think seeing or communicating with those who have passed over is really a part of reality, just not one everyone picks up on.

33. vague images/sounds
I sometimes get images of friends/loved ones who've passed, but it is usually confusing as to whether that is my own mental image/memory of them, or is a sign. If I also hear something, like a familiar expression, then I take it as a sign that they are around me and trying to say howdy. As an example, I had a friend named Zaida, whom I used to tease a bit, calling her 'Zaida Ate a bagel.' She passed from cancer last year, and if I see an image of her, plus if I hear that expression in my ear, I can figure she is around. I would be really happy if I could get farther along than just saying hello. But so far that is pretty much it, just a friendly greeting mostly. I do sense my grandmother around me also, and in that case I hear her name (Dodie), and receive some advice like, keep swimming, or something about our similar genes. And I did sit in a man's chair who passed last month, I was at his wife's house, and I rocked in his recliner chair for half an hour, and started to feel like he was right there in the room, and in a really good mood.

34. I consider myself an "Exceptional" or at least an "Above Medium".
Can't speak for others, tho.

36. Hey! All of you on this thread!!Please read.
As a Samhain Eve thing last year; I started collecting links to all the Lounge threads posted about personal ghost encounters (whether they believed or not; or considered themselves mediums or psychic). There are some really interesting and enlightening stories here. Since posting that thread; I have searched the archives back to 2003 and hopefully caught all of them.I will post the added ones this Samhain;as well as any others collected throughout the year. If you have any to add; please do so! Enjoy!!

What a fantastic thread. Sorry I didn't check in sooner.

Cassie and Kynd you did phenomenally great work.

I'd only add that some folks are simply more clairaudient and some are more clairvoyent. I've vacillated between the two.

Interesting about the cranial injuries. I've thankfully had none of those but a couple NDE's.

I've poofed more than a few lost spirits back into the light over the years.

The funniest was when I was enroute to read at a big function for a prominant magazine.

My colleague and I went out to dinner prior to the event. The place was formerly a train station and had been converted into a restaurant.

In the middle of the dinner I felt a spirit hovering who was on a total tirade about getting ripped off in a horse deal in the mid 1800's. I said, as a total nonsequitor, "It's been nearly 150 years and your still hanging out kvetching about a horse. LET IT GO." The spirit then went "poof" and my colleague and resumed our normally scheduled conversation.

It was too silly.

42. Let it go is right. Oy Vey! What a funny story.
Edited on Fri May-12-06 05:21 PM by cassiepriam
And you didn't miss a beat no doubt.

Actually I think that spirit might be related to my family.
They still argue about who got what in a will from two generations ago.

40. BIG THANKS, lildreamer!
Wow, what fun reading. Thank you so much for all the research work you did. I am trying to clean house today and I hate it. I keep coming in here for a break and reading this thread. Now I will have even more to read! (it will be my reward for getting things done)

Too funny, stellanoir. Kvetching over a horse for all that time. Hard to believe but there are some people...

Hey, just this morning my neighbor had an experience where she heard from her grandmother who passed over a couple months ago. Gram was 100 last year and actually made it to 101. She had stayed with my neighbor, whose name is Karen, for a few months during the summer of a year ago. I met her and had a number of delightful chats with her.

Anyway, not only did Gram pass on, but so did a few other relatives in the family. This is the family in the mansion (I'm in the carriage house). It's an old estate that was split up into two properties many years ago. Anyway, my neighbor Karen is also very sensitive.

So this morning she came over, quite excited, to tell me that she had been thinking of Gram, whose given name is Lillian. She said she'd been missing her and she was wishing she could just pick up the phone and call her. Then the phone rang and it flashed through her mind that it was Gram (Lillian). Instead, when she answered it was a wrong number and the person on the other end of the line was very elderly and frail-sounding. He said, rather weakly, "Lillian..."

Both Karen and I feel that it was Gram's way of trying to get through to her.

Upon speaking further, I think perhaps that Gram was even calling for a reason. Karen also told me that because of the deaths, there are quite a few inheritance issues in the family right now. As you know, these things can get very sticky. In one situation, there are some family members who want to file a lawsuit against others. The other family members think that a lawsuit is not worth it, at any cost, because it will tear the family apart.

So now I'm thinking Gram was calling as a way to tell Karen she needs to hang in there with that point of view (lawsuits not worth it). BTW, everyone in this family has millions and nobody really needs any of the money, which just reinforces to me that no lawsuit over inheritance is worth it.

41. A story
When my husband died, my youngest son was asleep in his room with his girlfriend the night after his Dad had died (unbeknownst to me, but, as it turns out, I am glad).

His girlfriend suddenly awakened, and she saw my husband bending over to kiss my son on the cheek very gently. He turned to her, and put his finger to his lips and waved goodbye.

She told my son about this, and when he told me, I had no doubt that this actually happened.


God, I miss that man.

43. What a sweet sweet story.
By the way, this happens fairly frequently right after a death.
The discarnate spirit stays to say good bye to his/her loved ones.

48. After my Mom died suddenly from a brain aneurysm
I was in a fitful sleep that night and felt someone bend over and kiss my cheek.....I always took it for granted that it was my father feeling sorry for us "kids", but now I'm not so sure...he wasn't really the type for handing out kisses.

47. I was quite restless at night for weeks right before my mom died,
but I fell asleep and had my first food night of sleep in ages the night she died (and I didn't know). My brother kept dreaming she hadn't left, and she was lost, wandering around the hospital. So my sister called upon the spirit of a kind person she knew that had died, and asked him to help her cross over. Perhaps it was suggestion, but my brother swears the dreams stopped, and he is as intuitive as I am about the dead and the supernatural.

Anyway, I had a visitation and a kind pat on the head, and I think it was her, but it was weeks later, and my minister said it was an angel, but what does he know?

49. I see them in dreams but I hear them in waking hours
I don't think you're nuts, I think the veil is thinning. I also think it's part of the plan. Many people see and or hear things they never talk about, it's more common than most will admit to.

52. Hello Kynd...
I would say that you are indeed a medium. I have been able to see. here and speak to the dead for as long as I can remember. You are neither crazy nor weird... I feel there are many more people who have the ability than we can ever know. It's just that people think that they're crazy and are afraid to ask or admit that they have these experiences.
