My dad passed away about 5 years ago. When I was maybe 9 or 10 he gave me a wind up music figurine of my favorite animal. I've always loved the song it plays and it has always been my favorite gift from him. I am now 29 and it doesn't work well anymore. It's very hard to wind up and then won't play without me helping it. Multiple times over the past 5 years it has just started playing on it's own. It never did that before my dad died. I remember the first time it happened my husband and I were down the hall playing with our dog. When we heard it we thought there must be someone in the bedroom and checked the closets and under the bed. We were pretty freaked out. My dad loved dogs and I remember I jokingly said he wanted us to know he was there and was enjoying watching us play with our dog.
Since that first time, it has happened maybe once every 6 months. It still freaks me out a bit, especially the time it woke me up in the middle of the night. I really do think it's my dad letting me know he's still watching over me. |

When I was little, about 4 years old, I remember looking for my cousin at her house. My aunt was babysitting me. I remember going into a bedroom, turning on the lights, and looking under the bed. I saw a kid under the bed kind of glowing. I screamed and ran to my aunt saying my cousin was trying to scare me. My cousin then came out of the bathroom and didn’t know what I was talking about.
Anyways they made me go back and look again to prove nothing was there but even 30 years later I remember what I saw clearly. |

| When I was a kid, maybe around 4-5 years old, I was laying on the living room floor watching TV, my mother was in the kitchen just about 20 feet or so away. We lived in a tiny bungalow with the kitchen and living room being one big room. Our front door was next to the TV and the back door was directly back from the front door. Well, the front door opened and a man sprinted through the house out the back door. Startled, I got up and the front door was still swinging open. My mom was the only one home and I asked her if she saw a man run through the house. She had no idea what I was talking about. This happened in broad daylight during the late 70s. I still think about this 40+ years later. |

| My grandmother had a pretty severe stroke resulting in dementia. She always had this far away look and talked about her children, well her three children were now in their 50s and 60s. The children she spoke vividly of were two children a boy and a girl, the boy being the older child. She described what the children looked like and what their personalities were like. Well, about two years after my grandmother's stroke I gave birth to a baby boy. My grandmother passed away when my son was 2 1/2 years old. A month after she passed I was pregnant with a baby girl. It is now about 5 years after her death and my two children are exactly how my grandmother described her two children. My son has the same shade of shiny silvery blond hair that she described, he loves to sing and my daughter is rambunctious and chatty with long blond hair....While she had dementia this is all she would talk about, her son and daughter, and how active they were. I talk with my mother about this and in a way I believe that my daughter is my grandmother reincarnated, or somehow in her confusion, my grandmother could predict the future. |

| Our preemie died right after birth. I remember I couldn’t sleep when he was in the morgue. I was literally trembling, chills, nothing could make me feel warm. This was in early September. That feeling of being “cold to the bone” stopped as soon as we got his remains. |

I often dream of things that are happening to people i know. But in my dream they happen to me. For example, Monday night i dreamed there was a bear outside my family's tent. There was a bear outside my brother in laws law's family's tent at that time.
The problem is I can never predict what is the real connection until after the fact. I do get strong intuitions about things but often I misinterpret them. It's very annoying. |

She probably hid it here Dumbo but had not told her husband. |

I don't think you can dream about deceased loved ones until it sinks in that they are dead. I still don't dream of them often, but am always happy when I do. |

The day before my mother died (which was totally unexpected, though she was over 90, but no terminal diagnoses), she said my father (who had died decades before) had recently been "visiting her" in her dreams, which made her happy. (Note: she is Catholic and believed that he was in heaven waiting for her.) She also told her nurse that she heard all of her adult children (who lived all over the country) talking in the living room. That actually happened within 48 hours, after she died. She had never made comments like this before. I have heard similar stories from people who do hospice work. It is like the lines between the worlds start to blur right before you die. |

Is there anything you could tell me? I know we are anonymous via the internet, but what does your psychic abilities have to say about me? I would be grateful. |

Old time Irish people believe that small children can see spirits/angels, because they are so pure (ie. close to God). And you lose this ability as you get older/more worldly. My Mom said this happened when my sister was a toddler also. She definitely was talking to someone who had died, but no one else could see them. The child was not frightened at all. |

| Before my father passed he was “talking” to someone who was not there. My mother asked who he was talking to and he mentioned a man who had passed away eight months prior or but my father did not know the man had passed. |
