Perhaps you have a room in your house that never quite feels right. Do you hear bumps in the night or see shadows out of the corner of your eye? Are you a medium or clairvoyant who can communicate with the ‘other side’?

My besty and I were house sitting for a week and we knew there was a resident ghost in the house due to the many stories told by the owners. On the second night of our sitting we also baby sat for her neice and nephew who were 3 and 6months old. The baby awoke crying and aunty went to pacify as she did I noticed a shadow through the glass doorway adjacent to the lounge for some reason I took this to be a woman perhaps instinct. The shadow was a dark silhouette similar to what you would see looking through frosted glass. I didn't feel any form of threat just a sense of warmth and there was no heating on at the time.
I shared this upon her return and she turned to me and iher reaction spoke volumes of fear. I mentioned the sense of warmth upon sighting the presence although this didn't deter her from placing a blanket over her head lol....Halfway through our movie I noticed the shadow again this time outside the doorway of where the children were sleeping. There was zero glass just a small entry into the room between where we were seated. We both looked at each other and she froze no sooner this occurred neice came into the room saying who is that lady in the room.

My besty started panicking I picked up her neice and said what does she look like she described the lady including the clothing she was wearing. I went into the room and saw no-one though felt something perhaps due to the what her tot neice had shared. I tucked her in sat with her for a while and felt a warmth around me, I returned to the lounge room where my friend was still under the blanket and she was adamant she wanted to go home upon her brother n wife collecting the children. After she calmed down we received a phone call from the next door neighbour sharing her cat was struggling to release himself from a fence wire on the roof of garden shed in the yard.
I took to helping the cat relax before releasing him to his owner, we got to chatting about the previous owners whom we discovered purchased the house as raised 5 children in their twilight years the husband passed and his wife resided there with a carer until she passed. I enquired as to what the owner was like and learned she was a very friendly person and made lots of friends and still visits the neighbours today the same way she had all those years ago. Through their kitchens, garden hedges and on the back steps of others. I described our experience and the neighbour brought a picture of her and the women ghost who had appeared before us. My besties neices description of the women was spot on down to the clothes. I also learned the room we put the children in was the room her grand children occupied when they were littlies.

This is not my only experience and I believe we all have the ability to tap into our inner selves and truly connect and on doing so we see the world in a different light.

Here is another experience I have warmly welcomed my besties Mom passed my sister was standing in our kitchen and saw her at the end of the yard smiling. She sung out to her to come and have a cuppa with Mom as this was her bestie and the very way she always arrived through the garden. The phone rang it was my Mom to she had this minute passed away. Upon sharing my sisters experience my Mom replied she wanted everyone to know she is fine and will be watching over us all. 30yrs on and I still receive dreams with her Mom pointing me in the direction of my besty when things are amiss and with each encounter it becomes evident she remains close to us.

Many years ago a flat mate and I decided to move on in doing so we encounter a property that made me stop in my tracks. He motioned on and I stood quite still at the gate with the agent encouraging us to the viewing.

He called out to me and urged him to come and speak with me for a moment. He enquired as to what the problem was, I advised the minute I set foot on the pathway it was like an angry person was beside me and the force of the anger was brutual to the point of feeling tight in my chest.
He said just come with me inside and if you don't like what you see or feel we'll leave. As I motioned forward the anger grew, I asked the agent whether there had been any form of trouble in the dwelling he said not to his knowledge. I enquired as to whether any consideration was given to seek such on account of what I was feeling. He suggested perhaps I was feeling ill knowing full well I wasn't.
I went into the doorway of the home and it smelt terrible, no sooner i entered into the main bedroom I near fainted. I felt someone pushing me towards the window with full force. My flat mate turned to me and said what the you've gone pale white are you ok, I shared my experience and he said we're outta here.

We went next door to the neighbours and learned there had been a terrible death in the house and someone died a tragic death in the very room I experienced unpleasantries. The neighbour also advised it started in the driveway where I stood and that since the property has remained unoccupied.

I challenged the agent with his denial of anything untoward and upon doing so other people who were viewing the property left in distaste sharing they felt the house was cold and for a summers day didn't make much sense.

I shared with the agent to be open and honest is the best policy and to have the home blessed to release negativity that bounds the home and the passed occupancies. He continued to deny anything untoward occurred in the property to his knowledge. My flat mate made a point of writing to the agency owners and in doing so received an apology with a view to seeking a minister to bless the home months later we passed the property and spoke to the neighbours who shared the property was leased for 2 short months the occupants left due to terrible things occurring in the property during their time. Eventually the property was demolished and made way for 2 dwellings interesting how things pan out we often wondered how the new owners felt on this block of uncleansed land.
