Ghosts

Ghosts – Part 3 of spirituality, read part two my superpower is, and part one Intuition.

I come from a family where seeing ghost or sensing spirits is normal.

My mom’s gypsy family are very spiritual, and seeing or sensing spirits of loved ones is normal to them

They believe when a person dies that the spirit lingers for at least 40 days and will come to visit either in spirit, in a shape of an animal suddenly appearing and acting out of nature, or as a soft breeze that can’t be explained.

Every family member I have, has had several stories of their own to tell. Seeing our loved ones or seeing other spirits.

My grandmother was known to speak with the dead. I didn’t know of this until she died, and my mom told me the stories of my grandmother shouting at someone who wasn’t there to leave her and her kids alone at home, but that she would talk to them another day. She didn’t want to scare the kids my mom told me.

When my grandmother died, I still swear to this day I saw her outside my window, she was smiling at me, and looked almost see through. I was terrified and told my mom, and my mom said she had seen the same.

Several members of my family had sensed something when my grandmother had died.

According to my mom she still believes her brother came to visit them in the shape of a rat.

My father who is Danish and a firm believer of science, swears he saw a ghost one night. Him and his friends saw a grey looking lady, and she had walked right through them. They all saw the same thing and where feeling terrified, they later found out that the place they had seen the grey lady had history. My father swears he saw my grandfather too when he died, and my grandmother, from my dads’ side.

I know that seeing ghosts isn’t scientific at all, its about belief, and I can’t talk from what other people experiences, but what I saw I have no question in my mind in what I saw. The feeling I had when I saw my grandmother, there was a sense of peace around her. I knew she was just here to say she was safe and okay, and happy, and everyone of my family members shared the same feeling when they saw her.

We have this inside joke in my family that we tell each other that we will come and visit everyone in what shape or form when we die, that we choose, so they are prepared. Even though I know we are just joking I won’t be surprised if it does happen one day. I know my mom told me  she will come back and say hi by moving my dishes around to remind me to clean more, and if that happens in 50 years from now knock on wood, then I will be back here to write about it in my blog.

I believe in science, but I’m also aware that we can’t explain everything yet. My dad taught me that its important to question everything, until proven, and that’s what I do with everything in life.

I can’t say its fact until I can prove it, and I can’t really prove what I hear from others. I can prove or acknowledge what I experienced and saw, I can’t explain it in science, but it was what I saw and felt, there for its truth for me.

When it comes to what other people see or believe, I do believe what they tell me, since everyone I’ve talked to tells me with such conviction what they experienced, so why wouldn’t I believe that’s true to them.

Maybe its just wishful thinking, a trick of our minds, intuition, a freak event, we don’t know, but it’s a fun story to share.

What is your story ?

Do you believe in the supernatural?

Do you believe in spirituality?

This was the last part of my spirituality posts.

Spirituality is part of me. Its how I was raised, its what I experienced. I do seek to science first of all, but I’m open to what the naked eye cant see. I trust my intuition and my gut feeling, and I do believe in the stories my family tells me.

Why would anyone lie about these stories?

It could be scientifically proven but there are too many stories out there, so I do believe in more what we can see.

And its okay to believe in something that hasn’t been proved, that’s why its called belief, and not facts.

Because I saw my gran mother and because she looked so peaceful and happy, I know she is watching over me, I know everyone of our loved ones are happy somewhere, and still watching us, and one day that will be me, watching over my daughter and the people I love. I don’t know what happens after death, but I have faith that its not nothing, and that ill still be around in some way or form.

We all have our own beliefs, to comfort us for whats next after death.

My own personal belief is I believe or hope that I will one day be in a resting place, where I get to watch over my family members, until one day I’m ready to be reincarnated again.

Ive always had this strange feeling that I haven’t lived just once, and when I was at the spiritual house, they talked a lot about reincarnation. So that’s the faith that gives me comfort.

Because of this and my experiences with spirituality, I’m not scared of death, and I still feel my family are with me. Even though science tells me they are not. I guess in someway scientifically they are, they are a part of me, of my DNA, and that part will never die, and I have them with me, in my heart. In the memories I have of them, they live on. The photos and movie clips.

When it comes to intuition.

Trust your intuition

Trust your gut feeling.

It has never been a bad thing for me to trust mine, and I feel it has guided me on the path I am today.
