Well, I was basically going along in my skeptical life, rationalising everything. I knew my dad's side of the family, the women at any rate, had some rather more, spiritual - shall we say - characters, but so what and blah blah blah.
When I saw what I did not realise was a residual haunting. In fact, I didn't believe it when I was told. Until I saw the haunting featured on a TV show nearly a year later.
As the years passed, I seemed to be able to increasingly pick up on things. I could feel things, even if I could not see them or could only see them in my mind. I could see things as well. Some spirits can be seen, others, for whatever reason, can only be felt.
Again, as I've gotten older, this sense continues to grow.
I can no longer deny it.
It really came to a head when there was the presence of a young boy in our flat who was very scared and confused and desperately needed to move on.
Then his mother came looking for him. And she wasn't very happy.
She is now, tho .
Residual hauntings are honestly not the troublesome variety at all.
They can be VERY frightening. Some are very much so.
But there is no interaction. It would happen whether you were there or not.
This is not a spirit trying to make contact or who has unfinished business, doesn't realise he/she is dead, needs acknowledgement to move on, etc.
