A couple of days ago I was sorting things in the
store room to get ready to have a yard sale in the spring..
way too much leftovers left over here when they strangest thing happened.
I was looking through old family photos and tin types when I caught a movement
in the corner of the room about 4 feet from me...
I looked up straight into a young woman's eyes..
She stood looking at me holding a wide brimed straw sunhat in her hands
in front of her..the look on her face was baffled..like she was wondering what I
was doing or why she was there...I blinked and shook my head and she was gone..
I haven't gone back in the store room again...I'm not scared...
I just wanted to figure out that look she had before going back.
What do you think Friends?

To be truthful I had kind of set them aside
to look at again but I want to try to
figure out what the matter is first.
I was thinking as I looked at the pics
that I wished I had a shot of my Great Aunt Raydene.
Her mother threw all photos of her away because
she believed she was cursed and didn't want to keep the curse around.
All photos were burned after she killed herself.

I'm wondering how often you go into the store room and move things about, my friend. She may have looked baffled because she's not used to your being in that area, and you've disturbed her "haunt". It could be somebody who lived in the house prior to you, or it could be somebody in your family line. I think I would be curious and want to know who's lived in the house and if anything "untoward" happened there, because they could be looking for somebody who lived there previously. If you see them again, try asking them who they're looking for.
Yes, I've seen several spirits. Some are in human form, some are robed and hooded and some are just orbs, or nothing visible... you feel them. I talk with mine... don't get a verbal answer but an answer is usually put into my thoughts, or through my pendulum. They have ways of sending you signs.
Brightest Blessings... I hope you get to the bottom of it. I find the phenomenon a very interesting one. Do let us know what develops, my dear friend.

Yes, when they're so real, these things do stick in your mind. There could be several reasons for her looking troubled, which you'll probably find out if you research previous inhabitants of the house. I have the feeling that she maybe wanted to ask or tell you something because she made herself visible to you, and so very clearly. Not all spirits do, or have the ability to do that. Then again, it could be something to do with your ex no longer being there. It could be all manner of things.

I've never seen one so defined
so very clear like I could reach out
and touch her..she seemed real but
dressed in clothes of another time
and gone as quickly.
The more I see that look in my mind I
almost wonder if it's a troubled look.
It sure has stuck with me where these
things normally go out of my head within a day
and I don't dwell on them.

Hmmm! raydene....interesting...I did live in a house once, where there was a constant spirit, but a gentle one!
Right now, I am painting the interior of a large home...the husband (male owner) passed away this passed fall from pancreatic cancer! The wife, is on a trip to New Zealand...and I am also wondering....lights keep getting turned on! I turn them off...and they will be on a a different room. Each nite when I leave I make sure all lights are off...but when I arrive, there are several on...and I have checked, they are NOT on timers! Hmm? Happy Valentine's Day!

The home that I was telling you about with the gentle "spirit," was very interesting indeed! It was a rental home...and when we rented it, there was an extremely lge. piano in the L room! It was too big to get out the door (they must have built the house around it.) It all started with the piano being played at oft times, the smelling of coffee brewing in the middle of the night...but hence when checked, not so! Assistance in making the bed, eg; the other side of the mattress would be picked up and tucked in! The funny thing was my sister-in-law was living with us...this would only happen when my husband was absent (away flying) and we were both silently blaming each other for trying to spook each other. My goddaughter came to stay, and she would always be talking to someone, so one day she was dancing...and I asked her who she was dancing with...and she said "my friend, that comes to visit every day...can't you see her?" Yes, I became and AM a believer! Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow! Raydene....thank you so very much for the best response! It truly made my day, so I think that kind little gentle spirit was with both of us! Once again, a truly heartfelt thanks!

Pretty interesting Raydene. Can I ask you, have you lived there long? And, do you have anything you've bought which were collectibles or antiques? Just curious, as some spirits hang around for certain reasons. I have a very old enamel kitchen table from the 40's, and there is a woman who is always hanging around it. She doesn't bother me at all and I just let her do her thing. I think it belonged to her and she loved it dearly. It's very pretty.

Oh wow! You looked right into her face??? I never could quite ever see the spirits that were trying to contact me.. Or let alone make eye contact with me. That spirit must be used to be in the store room. This is where she must stay when you are not up there.. I would be scared if I saw someone that is not suppoed to be in my home, in my home.. I deal with paranormal episodes all of the time, and this one would for sure scare the living daylights out of me!

That sounds a little scary, The most I've ever been exposed to was a house we lived in early in our marriage that had a hall which often felt like you were being followed when you walked down it. Things often moved in that house but very little nothing fly through the air or anything like that. For a long time we had a spirit that moved from house to house with us, my husband felt it more then I did. I do guard myself against invasive energy so that may be why they stay away from me. Good luck with yours

I have never heard anyone describe how things look when looking from the place where spirits dwell. I wonder just how much they can see or sense us in our world. I know there are mediums who say they can communicate with them but I 'm not sure how much of that is true. I know when ever I have felt something unsettling and told it to go away it has, now is that just my mind or is it truly contact with a spirit? I don't know. Some one else will have to answer this.

I don't know what to think.... I do believe you, I have never actually seen a spirit. I do believe it is possible, I do believe that I have had spirits around me many times. Its like I have felt their presence with me. I hope you can figure it out and maybe find out who she was.

Hi raydene! Oh my, that is scary. All my goosebumps are showing while reading this discussion. I just hope that she won't come back and she was just passing by. Probably, we can say a prayer for her soul so she can find some rest.
Take care dear and blessings to you.

I have never seen a spirit, I have seen shadows and I have a sense sometimes of someone standing behind me when I am in the kitchen but I have never seen a spirit clearly. I have heard lots of strange noises in the house, like footsteps coming down the stairs when only I am in but that is about it.

I can't say I know what the look was for if that is the answer you wanted. I can tell you I kept getting cold shivers as I was reading your discussion and they are now fading as I am typing! That is sort of freaky!

It's hard to say because I don't think that human beings here on earth have a complete grasp on the spiritual world or what goes on with the supernatural. Ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call them work in mysterious ways and I think that it would take more contact and interaction with this spirit to find out if they have anything to tell you or anything they need to express. I have seen a spirit in a dream before and it was the spirit of my deceased step-father. I think that's my only experience in the spiritual world where I've seen the spirit. I'll add you as a friend because I would love to hear more about your spiritual encounters or other things like this perhaps relating to the occult.

I have never personally seen a spirit. But I do believe that they exist. My 9 year old son, who we adopted, told me that he had met my dad. My dad passed away 3 years before he was born. He told me this when he was real young, and was unaware of spirits. He said that he told him that everything would be ok. When we were adopting him we had problems with the birth father not signing the papers, so I assume that this was about the time that he met him. I feel that they come back more to comfort us than to scare us.

for me.. i never see that thing, i half believe and half don't believe, but in my country, indonesia, many people believe that, some people could make money from that. my opinion, if we trusted our religion, we don't need to scared that thing, but sometime doesn't work! i bet, when the people meet ghost or spirit or what ever that thing for the first time.. i mean for the first time, he/she must be shock.. even he/she very trust him/her religion.

Wow, how cool. Have you wondered if she could be in one of those old photographs? Might be worth looking thru them! Maybe she was just as surprised as you were to see someone else in the store room. Do you go in there often? Do you know the history of your place? Maybe it was someone that lived there before you? Maybe an ancestor just looking to see what you are doing? Although then I wouldn't think that she would have the baffled look on her face. Hmmm
We have had things happen in our past place and this place. Here you will hear your name called and it usually sounds like someone else in the household. However when you go see what they want, they look at you like you are nuts as they say they didn't yell for you. I also saw the apparition of a little girl in a white old time nighty walking from the landing into my daughters room. I went up and checked and no one there as there shouldn't have been as they were in school.
I have also heard a little child say mum, and had my clothes tugged on as if a child was grabbing my shirt. I also had my hair tugged while sitting and playing on the computer. The only thing that has really bothered me is when we hear a baby cry, I hate that!

If this happen to any of the lottery-crazy Singaporean, he/she will ask the spirit for the winning combination for the coming lotto. Then when the number really comes out, he/she will buy a lot of food for the spirit to eat oh. Want to give a try? If you become a multi-millionaire, please forward a cheque to me.
