Thought about changing my name for this but too tired - but something happened tonight that I want to share as it has never, ever happened before. I went to a close friend's house for a private view of paintings by hereself and others. Her house normally has some of her fathers work on the walls(he was very well known in his day and died about 20 years ago of cancer I believe) but tonight she had put the paintings outside in her studio to make room, and she had also included some piles of unframed work of his. My friend has two teenage sons, the elder of which is also starting out as an artist. Anyway, I had wandered around the exhibition, and I asked my friend if I could see the work in her studio. We went in, and I put my left hand on some loose work and started flicking through it. I looked at one, and said that I thought her father had felt a lot of anger at times. I leafed through 2 more paintings, and then suddenly said 'this is SO like (eldest ds)' in a really clear voice, and as I said it I felt incredibly strongly that it wasn't my thought but a man's, and I also found myself looking at my arm as though there were another arm reaching over it, or through it. I 'knew' that her dad was there and that the thought I had expressed was his.Afterwards I felt shaky, and shocked. I have never experienced anything close to it and it was so precise I am certain I couldn't have imagined it on any level. I just wanted the feeling to go tbh. The weird thing was, a) I had not had anything to drink and had not had any wine for 3 days (quite rare for me) and also when I was in the house I spoke to one person and found myself thinking that she was about to find love, and to another person who I am certain is ill, and I felt quite 'up' for me (I am normally quite reserved). TBH most people will say its all rubbish, and since I have never experienced anything so odd in my life, maybe it is. But respect other postings of yours and wondered what you thought of it and why.

maybe you are sensitive to these kind of htings? i find that whne i am in one building, i may feel really uneasy, then when in another i can feel really comfortable, like i am "home".

maybe next time you have these feelings, keep a diary or pass on the message?

Callmemadam · 08/06/2007 21:28

Anything I have ever 'felt'I have always put down to an overactive imagination tbh - I have never, ever wanted to feel like I did last night. Even weirder was the fact I had a massive headache (unusual for me ) that lasted most of today.

then maybe it's not an overactive imagination - it does take practice to recognise things tho. if anything is bothering you, imagine a golden white bubble of protection around you and ask for the protection of archangel michael.

what used to work for me when i said things like this was when i said "although i may not see it (the bubble) i know it is there"

fransmom · 08/06/2007 21:32

headaches are down to a drain in your energy levels. i usually feel shivery

Callmemadam · 08/06/2007 22:04

fransmom - are you psychic?

OP posts:

fransmom · 09/06/2007 21:04

yes. also medium (not large) medium sorry.

Callmemadam · 09/06/2007 22:32

sorry to be stupid, but what is the difference, please?

expatinscotland · 09/06/2007 22:36

Hmmm.

I'm not really sure, tbh.

I usually 'see' and 'hear' things only in my mind, although now fairly clearly.

At the beginning, though, it was when I least expected it.

I'm not psychic at all, though, well, I don't think I am.

It's entirely possible her father was there for the moment. Entirely possible indeed.

expatinscotland · 09/06/2007 22:38

I never get shivery or anything else before I 'see' or 'hear' something. It's just there. Sometimes, I know something is waiting for me as I go round a corner, approach something, enter a building.

It used to scare the shit out of me and I'd run away, walk out, change route, etc.

Now I just slow my breathing down and think, 'Is anyone there? Does anyone want to talk?'

I have two spirit guides, and I trust them both. I know they're with me, so I don't normally shield or that anymore.

If I feel ANYTHING apprehensive, I call them and pretty much put up a mental block till one of my guides comes through.

fransmom · 09/06/2007 23:05

i think it was explained on a tv medium show once that psychics pick up info from the person's aura, bofy language etc but mediums can also receive info from the spirit world. does this make sense? x fm

fransmom · 09/06/2007 23:05

only get shivery afterwards, tho not always
can sense thigns tho not all the tiem

fransmom · 09/06/2007 23:05

expatinscotland · 09/06/2007 23:08

I don't sense things all the time. Not by a LONG shot.

The most unsettling contact I had with a spirit was one who called my daughter by a cetain name, the name of a known family. He hadn't been a nice man in life, that is known, and isn't happy. But he mentioned something and it'd be interesting to see if it came to pass, because what he'd mentioned had always been a feeling I sort of had about her for a long time.

fransmom · 09/06/2007 23:09

interesting not sure about the contact tho. ahas he gone now

expatinscotland · 09/06/2007 23:16

'I would not have spoken to you but that you are the mother of []'s dam. She was the lowland vinshe before but she is []'s brood mare, by her grace. Her voice will sing to him before it speaks to him and her hair will have the colour and flow of honey. His face is melted like molten wax, his grace, you mark me here, none but her can look at him in anything but disgust because she is vinshe.'

That is by far the WORST feeling I have gotten from any spirt.

fransmom · 09/06/2007 23:30

not sure about what was said as didn't really understand it but i can understand you feeling more that liittle creeped out

expatinscotland · 09/06/2007 23:34

That's what that freak spirit told me!

I can remember every word.

EEewwww.

He's particularly active in winter. It took me a long time to even hear about him.

Even longer to encounter him.

Freaky deaky.

He really is the worst I've encountered.

I'm the accidental medium, FWIW.

My dad inherited these sorts of abilities from his mother, he has them himself, although he'd rather die than admit it.

I was a die-hard skeptic, still am for the most part.

But when I was 28, I had my first encounter with a spirit. I didn't know it was a spirit and didn't believe it when told. It was about 2 years until I saw this spirit featured on a TV programme and couldn't deny what I had seen.

My feelings are growing stronger with age, although I don't know why.

Thankfully, I know my daughter has also inherited, but her tendancy is towards healing and not seeing, as my dad's mother's was (her sister was the seer).
