Come on guys! Sciborg and I can't be the only ones!
I'll share another.
It's sort of a multi-parter. I mentioned that my aunt is a medium and my cousin sees apparitions. Well, my mom is sort of a medium also, but not as "well developed" as my aunt. My brother has seen apparitions as well as one of my other male cousins, but they don't talk about it much.
So, first part: I was back in SLC visiting my family a couple years ago for the holidays and my mom, my brother and my husband and I were sitting around, chatting. My mom then says one of my other male cousins who died from cancer earlier that year was there. I expressed some disbelief. I told her, if it's him, have him reiterate an occurrence that happened between he and I. That's all I told her. I told her he should know what I'm talking about and if he could tell her right then, maybe I would believe.
Background: when I was 7 or 8, my mom, brother and I took a trip to Disneyland with one of my aunt's and my three cousins. This now deceased cousin was the oldest of us kids, and he was kind of a jerk. He and I never really got along. On this trip, we stayed at the Candy Cane Hotel. One morning, my mom and my aunt went somewhere, just the two if them and left this oldest cousin in charge of us. We went swimming in the hotel pool, which is a big deal for a kid, but he wouldn't let me in the "big pool". He made me and my youngest cousin stay in the two foot kiddie pool. We were both pretty mad and he was just kind of being a bully about it. I know, seems silly now, but to a kid it was a big deal. Plus he was always doing stuff like this to me and this was kind of one of those pivotal moments for me In he and I's relationship.
So, I'm sitting there thinking of this specific event. And my mom says she's seeing candy canes, but didn't know what it meant. Then she said it had something to do with a trip. And starts to give more details to the point that I was stunned. I said "are you serious?". And all of a sudden there is this rush of energy, and my brother and I look at each other and at the same time say "holy crap"! And he asked me if I felt that and both me and my mom said yes. My husband felt nothing. She then proceeded to communicate with him for a bit until he pulled away.
Now, I know on the surface what this sounds like. My mom booked and paid for the vacation and everything, so of course she knew where we stayed and that we went on a vacation together. But, this wasn't the only vacation we all took together and my mom didn't know that the incident took place at the pool and that it was so important to me.
Like I said, this cousin and I never really got along. As adults we could be cordial, but I always thought he was an egotistical jerk. Certainly not someone I would care to hear from after their death. So, there could have been many things she could have brought up other than this one trip.
It is so hard to explain what we felt. Energy is the closest I can get. And love was there too. It made me cry, and again this is not someone I liked when they were alive. And the fact that my mom, my brother and I all felt the same thing at the same time.
Part two: flash forward to last weekend. My husband and I were sitting together having coffee and chatting. We were talking about his parents coming to visit soon and the fact that my mother in law is in poor health. This led to a discussion about his maternal grandmother (who is no longer of this mortal coil) and her first heart attack and when she was in the hospital. He reiterated the story his grandmother told about how angels would come out of this thing that looked like a bee hive. And how sometimes when she was sleeping the angels would blow in her face to wake her and let her know my mother in law would be there soon to see her. My husband said he had his doubts about this because his grandmother was not a good person in life, and was abusive to his mom. He said he didn't believe his grandmother loved his mom.
So, this whole time he's talking about his grandmother, I start feeling the "energy" or whatever. Something I call "the buzzies". It's sort of just there, but the moment he says he doubts she loved his mom, boom, the feeling is almost overwhelming. I'm sitting there thinking "I'm not going to say anything, this is nothing", but it just gets stronger and stronger to the point where I feel absolutely compelled to tell him what is happening. By now I'm shaking pretty bad and heart is beating out of my chest. As I'm telling him what is happening, I get this thought "tell him she loved his mother very much". Again, it's like a thought, not a voice, and I don't see anything. So I tell him and I get the thought "tell him she loved him too but he already knew that, it's important he knows she loved her". So I tell him my thought and he kind of looks around and says, "I'm sorry I didn't go to your funeral". At which time another thought comes in "it doesn't matter, that's not important, just let him know she loved her, that's what's important". So I do and the feeling almost immediately starts to recede until it's soon gone.
So, I cannot say I fully trust my own experience. I'm not a medium, have never been and have never really had an interesting in being one. So, I don't know. It seemed like just thoughts that would come into my head, so it's very well likely it was just my own thoughts, but the coinciding feeling was strange. It felt like the same feeling as what happened when supposedly my cousin contacted my mom.
I have never had anything like that happen before (or since).
I have had certain "intuitions" about people before, but nothing major other than this one time, my brother, his wife and I went out to dinner. Upon leaving the restaurant, as we were exiting, a woman and two men were entering. One of the men held open the door for my sister in law and I with a smile. I looked at him to say thank you, and boom, I got the worst feeling, like a billion alarm bells went off simultaneously saying "danger, danger". My sister and law look at each other and she says "did you feel that?!" And we proceeded to compare what we experienced, which was essentially the same thing. We didn't know this man or anything about him, but again, the fact that both of us felt similar feelings at the same time toward the same person was what makes me think it wasn't just "in my head".
I've sometimes wondered if I may be sort of clairambient, but I'm not really sure if I believe in that stuff.
I don't know. Experience is a difficult thing. When your surrounded by a culture that tells you none of this stuff is real and it happens to you, you kind if learn to dismiss it or question wether you really experienced what you think you did.
Sorry for the super long post.
