There are ghosts and it is normal for people to see them, most people do not accept they have seen one, some people assume a ghost is just misty and white, but some appear as just as you or I would, you may pass one in the street and be completely unaware. Sometimes, the people classed as ghosts are not actually ghosts but an astral projection of a living person, who are projecting without them realising or they are travelling on purpose. Check out www.ghosthunterextraordinaire.co.uk, there are probably one of the leaders in the field of paranormal research and capturing evidence.

Not everybody recognises seeing them. It is those who are fortunate like yourself, who are able to see and recognise. I think to harness your ability seek out spiritualist churches to aid you in gaining control and you will probaly find you have mediumship tendencies.

I'm a roman catholic and so are the people surrounding me,and it's hard to find someone who truly believes or who has the same experience like i have, they would rather not talk about such things...its really difficult for me to feel this way...any way thanks!

I wouldn't call you normal, or myself either, because you are different. I see the things you described and I have met others who share the same gift. Before seeking psychiatric help, let me ask you: Do you have a strong 6th sense? Do you sense things before they happen? Do you sense or "vibe" other people's moods/emotions? Do you get impressions from inanimate objects or places? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you have a more developed 6th sense, or ESP as some call it, or just plain strong intuition. Psychic, in other words. Don't worry, you are not alone. I've met others and it made me feel better to know there were others like me.

i dont think i tried to do something or i tried to develop something to have physical apparitions...it just appeared one day when i was a kid and it never stopped...but i dont see spirits that often... regarding the dark, i feel the opposite, i feel so safe in the dark, its so peaceful, though when i was a kid, i was really scared, but i just learned to love how peaceful the dark can get...

For me, when I see apparitions, I have noticed it is usually when I am in a relaxed state and my mind isn't focusing on anything in particular. I guess I would call it literally "opening up your mind" because it isn't with our eyes that we are actually seeing them...it is with our mind's eye. I can feel their presence most of the time, but only when my mind has quieted down and I am in a stress-free and relaxed state. Its very similar to meditation or being "zen". And of course...ironically (or not..I don't believe in accidents or coincidences) it is always when I am not really actively trying to see anything or on the lookout for anything. Just being open to possibilities...and in this state I sometimes have premonitions or visions...or I just pick up on other people's vibes. Kind of like "tuning in".
