This!! I had my dog out the other night on my own. It was about 9pm so was still fairly light but she stopped in her tracks and stared at nothing and I started to pick up speed towards my house dragging her behind me

Not a ghost story but I’d an early miscarriage in October last year and have attended therapy for years for various other things but my therapist told me it might be a good idea to give the baby a name but cause I didn’t know whether it was a boy or girl I went with a name that can be used for either gender so I picked the name Robin. I go for a big walk most days up a nature walk near my house and I swear the little Robin redbreasts literally follow me along that walk everyday some do come up really close too, it may be nothing but can’t say I ever noticed so many of them before, it’s comforting in a way, there seems to be way more of them I’ve noticed if I’m having a hard day.
I wrote about something on this thread that happened to me earlier.
A few months ago I'd watched an episode of Uncanny that involved a TV. In the morning we were both woken by the TV downstairs blaring - it had somehow turned itself on. That's never happened before or since.
Anyway yesterday evening I was listening to a new Uncanny episode on the radio - about a UFO in the US. Anyway at the moment the witness said 'the lights went out' all the lights in my house went out. I nearly shat myself tbh
Now obviously this could be coincidence and an overactive imagination. Probably is. But I'd avoided Uncanny since that first thing and this was the first time I'd listened since. Which is annoying as I like it.
I just wondered if anyone else thought if you are a sensitive and receptive person you can open your mind to wierd stuff. Not necessarily bad - but odd. I can't watch any horror or occult things as I dwell too much.
I hope this all makes sense!

Email Danny Robbins! I’m sure the experts will have some theories!I wrote about something on this thread that happened to me earlier.

Yes. Funnily enough, I recently had a chat with someone who works in a building reputed to be haunted. Lots of different paranormal shenanigans taking place, felt and seen by all staff. She didn't really want to talk her experiences much because she 'didn't want anything coming home with her '. Her parent had recently passed, and something odd happened at her home. And she wasn't sure if it was her parent or something had come home with her. But she was very wary of even talking about the building or the goings-on. Just kept saying "I don't want anything coming home with me". And I hadn't thought much more about it until I saw your comment.
I did listen to an Uncanny podcast once where a child spirit apparently went home with a family after they'd holidayed somewhere
I believe it is known for a spirit to attach itself to a person, in effect haunting an individual.
This was exactly what I was trying to say!
I don't know if some people are more suggestable and see paranormal reasons when there aren't at all - or genuinely seem to attract odd happenings because they have open minds?
Its quite fascinating really.
I just know I avoid ghosty, horror, paranormal stuff if I can though I find it very interesting.
People are suppose to be more susceptible to attracting spirits and the like when they are vulnerable ie grieving.
I think I have an open mind in regards to this stuff and watch all sorts of films, programmes, books but tbh I've not really experienced anything major over the years.
Happy to see this thread reappear!.
Like others I do think you can 'open a door'. Not sure if I've said this before but about 10 years ago I went to see a medium, it was a group type thing and I didn't get a reading but on the way out he caught me and said "you could do this if you wanted to" and I was like nope!! as although I enjoy the paranormal I also enjoy peace of mind.
I did another ghost walk this year and it wasn't a patch on last years, all very hammy for want of a better word so nothing to report.

I have had a reading and the person knew A LOT. I hadn't even given my name. Either they really were communicating with the dead or just experts in reading body language.
But the fact they knew so much freaked me out and I never want to have another reading

This is so cool in a creepy way. Without giving too much away, what sorts of things did they tell you?
They named two passed relatives, not by their proper first name but by the shortened version (for example Bill instead of William). None of the 'I'm getting someone with the initial W', just straight out said the names.
They said that relative 1 was extremely hostile towards relative 2 because they now knew what they had done to me (relative 2 had abused me and I'd never told relative 1. In fact only my partner knew). When relative 2 'came through', it was terrifying. The whole atmosphere went dark and moody. This person was truly evil in real life. It scared me a lot, how everything became darker and more intensified. Never experienced anything like that before and never have since. Relative 2 wanted me to know they were sorry for what they'd done, they were not a well person and they should have looked after me properly 🫤
They knew about a miscarriage I'd had and that it had been a girl (which I'd always known deep down, as I used to dream of holding a baby girl).
They said "someone wants me to tell you - two people on the same day". I had no idea what they were on about, until I twigged - my uncle and my cousin share the same birthday, and it was that actual day of the reading.
I had told this person nothing, not my name, where I lived, nothing. During the reading itself, I was giving my best poker face and not reacting to try and catch them out. It unnerved me how they knew so much. They were also saying other names to me, and were insistent that these people knew me, but I genuinely didn't recognise the names. Afterwards I scared myself wondering if they were random spirits who were trying to use me or latch on to me. It was all a bit of a weird confusing fever dream to be honest, and I don't want to believe it was real. I'm not totally convinced there's an afterlife but after that I just don't know.

A true medium will want to provide proof of who is coming through as your departed relatives are there because they want to communicate with you via the medium.
My friend got lots of scratches on his face after doing the Edinburgh ghost talk 
Woah
That sounds a lot.
I 100% believe there are paranormal things going on. And I think I'm quite receptive but don't want to be so don't entertain things that might encourage it. It's not that I find it scary but that I could become a bit obsessed and wierd
I'm glad this thread is here. Helps to express what I can't to people around me. Your mind becoming a sort of portal if you open it up. Sounds utterly barmy I know but I think the veil between here and 'other' might be quite thin for some people.
They do say we all used to have the gift back in the annals of time.Woah

It makes me really want to do the walk!!
I liked the comment that if Ed and Lorraine Warren were still alive they'd be all over it.
Just to add to the above, there are a couple of things I found odd about the 'reading'.
When talking about the miscarriage, they spoke of a girl around 7 years old. I was confused at first because I didn't know any children who had passed away.
And they said it was the child I'd miscarried, and that children continue to grow in the afterlife. Which then made me think, why would child ghosts supposedly exist in that case? Just seemed odd. Anyway, they said that the child was with relative 1 and they were together. Which could either be really comforting, or a sick joke, especially as it got me thinking about the child, what they looked like etc.
The other odd bit was when they were speaking about relative 2. They said relative 2 was in deep sadness, they felt overwhelming waves of sadness from them and relative 2 was crying. Again this was a raised eyebrow moment, because I'm like, really? Crying ghosts? Just seemed very out there.

The way I’ve heard it explained is that it’s practically impossible for us to comprehend what it’s like to exist in the afterlife because the experience is literally other dimensional. And so spirits will communicate or manifest in ways we can process and understand. I don’t believe spirits grow up on the other side because they’re not biological beings who need to mature, I assume every spirit that crosses over already becomes aware of everything because it’s no longer shackled by the enormous limitations of the body and brain. The soul of your miscarried daughter may choose to represent herself to the medium as a 7-year-old girl so you can make the connection that she passed 7 years ago?
Similarly, it’s a possibility that relative 2 has deep regrets about their behaviour but like you, I don’t imagine souls cry or deal with grief in the way we do. But as we may not be able to understand how they integrate those feelings and emotions on another plane of existence they might choose to give an image to a medium that we can understand, such as crying.
