I understand this isn't for everyone but I love a good woo story. Even if you've seen/experienced something but aren't 100% sure and are on the fence, I'd love to hear your stories.

I've had a few experiences myself, nothing majorly scary just in my old house I'd often hear loud clear footsteps when nobody could be there and often saw a shadow figure, sometimes right infront of me and other times in my peripheral so can understand why people think they've seen something but can't be sure. I also worked in a pub that had some poltergeist type activity and various figures had been seen by staff and customers. I'd love to hear yours!

I saw a man in the shops I thought was an old school friend I hadn't seen in 15 years. Turns out it wasn’t him. Within about 5 mins of arriving home, I received a phone call from my boyfriend telling me said old school friend had committed suicide that morning. Will never forget the feeling and chill it gave me….

I have a similar story. I was sat in a restaurant and a little boy walked in. I thought to myself "that looks like Sam" ( a child I looked after when I worked in childcare 10 years prior). Then I realised, no it can't be him, he'd be about 13/14 now. Then literally seconds after that thought passed through my head, in walked the real Sam and his dad who I recognised, behind this other kid. I thought maybe they're brothers who look alike, but no. They weren't together, never acknowledged each other and sat separate. I had not thought of Sam for years, I'd forgotten he existed until that day and it was just really strange.

I’ll throw mine in for posterity ☺️

a few years ago my mum was suddenly in a coma, end of life stages. She hadn’t been unwell at all but Covid caused total organ failure. I was having horrible nightmares and didn’t know what to do.

She had always talked very fondly about a convent in her home town. The nuns there had cared for her aunt when she had cancer, and had been very kind to the family.
I was raised religious, but I don’t go to church now.

My mums situation was desperate and the only thing I could think of was to ask the nuns to pray for her. Knowing absolutely nothing I just turned up and knocked on their quite grand front door, it was around 2pm on a sunny day.
A small lady answered and through tears I explained I was desperate and I just needed them to pray for her.
The nun invited me in to a sort of entry way porch, about 5 metres by 5 metres square, two door ways lead off it into what appeared to be a dining room and living quarters.
She sat me down on a small chair and pulled one up next to me, held my hand and just started praying out loud.
Her head was bowed and I just stared down at her hand and occasionally glanced around at the room.

As she was speaking, I noticed that the corners of the room had begun to disappear. I just couldn’t see them.
Instead of angles, there was an inky cloud sort of blackness. I’ve never seen anything so dark before or since. A calm came over me and I just watched this soft dark almost cuddle all of the edges of the room.

It didn’t make any sense at all, daylight was still spilling onto the floor and I could see perfectly well.
The nun finished praying after around 10 minutes, and I can only describe the thickness in the room as a humidity without any heat at all, the blackness was still there moving gently and covering up all of the edges of the room.

I left and walked to down the street completely shocked.
My mum didn’t make it but I am absolutely certain that something godly was manifesting in that room due to that very kind old nun.
The nightmares stopped, and a couple of days later I was able to be with my mum when she passed away.

That's beautiful and so sorry for your loss xx

That’s so weird!!

tell us more!

Ok...

Context; At the time, DH and I were doing long distance due to work situation (but had been married 13 yrs at that point so I thought we were pretty solid), but still very much married and seeing each other every 3 months or so.

During this reading, in mid July she does her Tarot spread and as she's "reading" or "interpreting" the cards she asks me "does your husband want a divorce"?. Now I thought it was strangely worded. She didn't ask if I wanted a divorce, but did he... I replied "No, not that I am aware of". Psychic seemed a bit baffled by this answer. It was our wedding anniversary early August.

During the reading, she kept asking me if i knew anyone named "Sandra" (not real name). She told me my "spirit guides" were trying to warn me about someone named Sandra, that this Sandra would cause upset in my life. At the time, I did not know anyone named Sandra.

Psychic also said I was going to have a big "upheaval' in my life.

Anyways, day after, I'm talking to DH, telling him what she said about him wanting a divorce and also asking him if HE knows someone named Sandra. He denies...

About 2 weeks later, the day after our wedding anniversary in fact, I get a FB message from DH, completely unexpected, ending our marriage! I was shocked, didn't see it coming, so immediately suspected another woman (Which he ofcourse denied).

Anyhoo, as time went on, it soon came out.... DH had met and was having an affair with a woman named.....you guessed it.....Sandra! She knew he was married to me and she encouraged him to leave me for her...

So thats why the "divorce" came up, weeks before it happened.

It all made sense. There was a literal, physical "shift" in my universe in the May, I felt something was off, but I just didn't know what - I was in a high powered, high stress, demanding job, so I put it down to that. It wasn't. Turns out, in May, that is when DH and his soon to be OW met and initially became 'friends'.

Theres more, but thats a big part of it.

I'd like to know the same @Clueless2024 Please send us a PM if you'd rather not share publicly.

You had an amazingly accurate reading, glad you managed to rebuild your trust and relationship after everything.

Sorry lovelies, the girl I saw is long gone.

Her name was Hayley. She was located in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

She did occasional readings at this crystal shop. Can't remember the name but remember where it was located.

Her and the husband had some "family emergency" so they moved back to the big smoke & that was that.

Clueless2024 · 05/09/2024 02:58

@WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout can I help. I'm actually a reader myself.

You say a crossroad..... in what way?
