Does anyone believe in spirits and passing over to the other side and a life after death?

I have a very open mind - there is a lot more than we will ever know I am sure

I cannot believe that when someone dies that is the end

Hi all. Not sure that I believe in another life as such. - but 'ghosts' are definitely about. A practical scientist once told me that it may well be like an imprint left by someone or something. He compared it to radio waves - they're all around us-We can't see them, or hear them until we switch on the right equipment! - Whether sights, sounds or scents from the past. He said we just don't understand enough about it yet, True enough - We once thought the earth was flat. The 20th century brought DNA to light, so never rule out what may seem impossible.

I believe alright,

Grew up with the woman in my family that did as well. My Grandma used to talk to those on the other side and told me never to be afraid. It is easy for some not to be afraid but not so easy to do.

When my MIL died of a stroke some 14 years ago this month, she did not want me in her house and made her presence known....I did not want to be there but did my duty as is expected of a DIL.

My FIL has moved on and is living somewhere else, the house was willed to my OH. Although he has been back several times I have never gone back again....

The house will eventually be passed on to our oldest son as is the custom, but I will never ever put my feet there again.

Think what you want!

Lindy ;))))))))))))

I have seem a few ghosts over the years in different places - call them what you will.

Now we live in a very old house and, once, both myself and my youngest son saw some in the house - we don't any more.

But, as dusk falls, I often see shadow people walking past the house on the way into the village and last night I saw 2 walking around the house. It doesn't bother me any more and OH and 2 oldest children don't see anything.

Samantha Report 28 Jul 2009 23:13

Hello Helen in Kent
Do you see these shadow people most nights? sounds very interesting i wonder where in the village they would have been/are heading to and why?

Gypsy

Gypsy Report 28 Jul 2009 23:13

I have never seen spirit, I would be too scared! I know thats silly, Of course I do but I can't help it.

Has anyone ever had any messages about their tree from the other side? I have :-)

Samantha

Samantha Report 28 Jul 2009 23:20

Helen in Kent

Helen in Kent Report 28 Jul 2009 23:25

Hello Samantha, no I don't see them every night, I live in the country and have always thought they were going from their homes down to one of the pubs - a distance of about a mile.

No-one walks around here at might - it;s too remote,

I have never seen a deceased member of my own family or spoken to one.

This might well be, it still sounds very interesting to me, dont have anything like this where i am although we do at my parents

When I started my tree I ws told that my great grandparents came from Yugoslavia.
I went to see a medium sometime later who told me that my great grandfather was born in Romania and my great grandmother was born in Austria. She also said that the place Heidelberg was important.
She also told me about a son of my grandparents who had died young.

I was later to find information to prove the births of my great grandparents and I also found the son - He died at 6 days old and nobody in the family knew about him :-(

I'm yet to discover what the Heidelberg link is though!
