Anyone believe in spirits ?

Hi MC!

Yes I would like to think there is something in that but not in a scary way. I lost my husband 10 months ago to bowel cancer and it's just some little `incidentals` that I have noticed happening. One is, I had a pair of reading glasses which I thought I had lost but turned up again. I was out in my car one day and I put the glasses in my pocket and they fell out as I got out the car and thought they had fallen on to the road couldn't find them so thought I had lost them forever so just used a spare pair I have. A few weeks later I went out and opened the car door and what was looking up at me, the glasses. I am assuming they had been under the driver seat all those weeks I thought they had gone. Another is I have a little love heart trinket on a chain round my neck with some of my husband's ashes in it. A few times this has fallen off the chain for some reason. I found it lying on my mattress one morning and then one night I was going to bed and noticed it wasn't there again so I looked all over and again fearing I had lost it outside somewhere. I was closing my bedroom door over and was aware of it hitting something at the bottom. I looked down and there is was. So I have a photo of my husband on a unit in my living room so I went in and told him to stop doing that and just like that, it has never happened again. So I just wonder if our loved ones are still around somewhere still looking out for us in some way. In most cases it may just be coincidence but I like to think otherwise. Take Care.

Yes I do well all my life I never believed in anything like that I used to take fun of my partner Christine as she used to go to palm readings and see clairvoyant. But when Christine very sadly passed strange things have happened I was sitting in our lounge watching TV on my own when I seen a shadow from the corner of my eye, I froze for a couple of seconds as I was the only person in the house, I got up and searched every room in the house down and upstairs even the loo. A week or two after that I was in our local pub on my own in the beer garden when a green balloon come flying around my table legs it sort of moved around the legs of the table for a couple of minutes then it blew away, when it was moving around my table I took out my phone and recorded it, when I zoomed in on it I got a bit of a shock, it was a macmillan balloon, I still got the video and picture on my phone. It blew in around my table and went again it never went to any other table. So yes that have definitely changed my mind I believe the shadow in the house and that balloon was definitely Christine letting me know she is here with me and always will

I think it brings you comfort knowing that they’re around you. I went in June to have a reading a lady always go too my dad come though & he know what I’ll be going through at home me & hubby had been going though a rough patch he lost his mum year after I lost my dad. I was in tears how much was said & no way could no one know this stuff I recorded the reading & played it to my mum she couldn’t believe it. 

Hi there, my husband passed on the 4th August and I have been missing him terribly. Roughly, a week after he died I was having a ciggie in the garden, and felt his presence. My throat tightened, and I looked to the left of our garden. I felt he was sitting in his favourite chair on the decking, I could feel his presence there. Our border collie came out, and started whimpering. A few days ago I read your post about the Robin appearing in your garden. I said to myself today, “Let me see a Robin today”, to test your theory. You will not believe it, one appeared about half an hour ago on the fence, about three feet away. That has never happened before. It then came on to the grass, very close to me and stayed for about 20 seconds. That has never, ever, happened before. We have lived in the same house for 26 years. We do get Robins visiting, but not once has that happened before. I believe in spirits, whether animal form or human. I found it extremely comforting. We cannot explain everything. 

Awww that’s lovely the Robin came it just brings you comfort knowing their around . Be 3 years on 20 September lost my dad 

It's feathers with me too. I have superstition about feathers and am always looking it up. They say both white and black feathers can be a sign someone is around and looking after you especially if they are on the path you are walking and if one floats down beside you. Always feel a wee comfort when I see feathers. 

Yes patty feathers too I only saw a white feather other day. Normally white ones I see 

Yes it's usually white ones I see too but a while ago I saw a black one right in front of where I was walking and that worried me a little bit so I went online to look for the significance of black feathers because I always assume that means bad luck but it said seeing both black and white feathers are fortunate so I felt a bit better after that. 

Hello Mc1964 & everyone else who has responded. I was having one of my ‘can’t sleep nights’ and came across your chats.

When my Uncle passed away, about 10 years ago, my brother, his grown up son and myself were in my Uncles house chatting, the next minute my Uncles recliner shuddered backwards on its own! My brother WAS a cynic until he saw that and the colour drained from my nephews face. We didn’t speak, we just looked at each other and laughed nervously!

My Mum still has that chair and it has never done it since.

My friend lost her Sister to breast cancer, we were sitting in her living room having a cuppa and she was telling me she keeps seeing white feathers. The next minute a white feather floats down in front of her living room window. It was even more random as her flat is 2 floors up!

My ex partners Mum passed from lung cancer, she was a huge loss to the family. My ex was a hard core cynic but couldn’t deny what happened to him as he has the photos to prove it. He was hill walking a couple of years ago, once he reached the top of the cobbler, he asked a fellow climber to take a photo of him. He attracted another few climbers as there was a rainbow type orb following him and it is in the photos It freaked him out and he couldn’t get down the cobbler fast enough after that. The cobbler, for folk who don’t know, is a mountain a couple of metres short of a Munro, in Arrochar. His family used to spend a lot of time there and it also became one of our favourites places.️

Jessie’s strong sense of spirit is in both worlds, she also made sure her husband knew she was still around. Not long after she passed, we decided all to go to a Restaurant, Jessie’s OH was distraught and would rather have stayed at home. He was fiddling with his wedding ring, which had been on his finger, he lost grip of it and it fell onto the floor. You can imagine the panic, we were all frantically searching for it when after a few seconds it literally came rolling and stopped at his feet. He was just as cynical, if not worse, than their son, but there was no way Jessie wasn’t letting him know she is still here

Funnily enough, a little robin started appearing in our back garden, and it’s always toodling about the front garden. It sits on the car while we get in it and when the car door gets opened, it sits on the door a few seconds. We would often say out loud, send us a sign Jessie/Mum and we’ve lost count how many times her favourite song would come on the car radio.

Another little robin joined in visiting us not long after my Dad passed, also with lung cancer. I definitely believe there is something once we are gone. I have a code word with my sister (she is still on this side), and if ever we go to a medium in the future she will know it’s me….which reminds me, I’ve forgot her code word

When my Dad was passing, I never got to the hospital in time to see him. My partner at the time, was driving to get us there. I had terrible pain in my face, like an abscess. I’d had it on and off during my Dads last fortnight of his life. We stopped at the garage for petrol and when he got back in the car I knew my Dad had gone. The pain in my face had stopped. The next minute, my mobile started to ring, it was my brother to let me know Dad was away

Definitely something in that I think. My little heart pendant still falls off now and again. A couple of weeks ago I was looking after my granddaughter and I was in the bathroom after my son came to collect him and the heart dropped to the floor. A couple of days later it was my granddaughters birthday and my son was having a small family gathering at his house and we were speaking about it before he left my house. I think the pendant falling off was his way of saying to me `I want to be there too` so I went in to the living room where I have a picture of him and told him that it was ok and he would be going too. Another time I was out in my car and I got out the car and the pendant fell off again and where it landed it landed right at one of the front wheels. When I went back in the car to move away the `low pressure` tyre indicator came up on the dashboard and the tyre indicating low pressure just happened to be the one where the pendant landed. So I feel it's a wee bit of reassurance that he is with me when I am out and about. I have just started to drive again after a long absence from it due to illness myself. It was Jay's (my late husband) wish before he passed that I got back to it again to have my independence and we had just bought our car only months before he passed after having it on contract hire for a few years. So after my GP ok'd everything with me I was able to re-apply for my licence. My confidence is building with it all the time and I have even got the car through 2 MOT's by myself too. So I think it is to make sure I'm looking after his `pride and joy`- the car while making sure I'm ok too. Strange how these things work.
