Your Spiritual Experiences

I had an experience about 25 years ago that made me a true believer in Guardian Angels. Divorced and alone raising 3 young girls, I was traveling to my job about 30 miles from our small apartment when another car came out of a side street, driving extremely fast onto the service road where I was. By a sheer miracle - and I really do consider this a miracle - he missed broadsiding my car by mere inches. While trying to compose myself, I suddenly got a very strong smell of beautifully sweet flowers. Being a bitter cold winter day I was unable to figure where this smell was coming from.

I almost immediately calmed down and at that point I realized it must be a sign from my Guardian Angel. I was afraid to tell anyone for years because I thought they would think I was crazy. I speak of it freely now and everyone who knows told me it truly was my Guardian Angel.

I met the love of my life when I was eighteen and fell in love overnight. We almost got married, but his family didn't approve and that was that. We stayed in touch over the years.

Then one night, years later, seated in a chair, I sensed him bending over me, and the first thing I thought was "what are you doing?" He said, "I came to kiss you goodbye." "What happened?" I asked. He said, "I don't know, I remember that I was in an accident and my body hit the ground and stopped, but I kept rolling on the ground. I got up and my body still lay there." At this point I interrupted him and said, "Go back to your body." He replied, "I tried that." I said, "Try again." He nodded his head and replied, "I've tried over and over again, but it didn't work. It's been three days now and my body is in the morgue."

My heart dropped. All of a sudden a beam of light came down out of ceiling and I asked him "do you see that?" He replied, "Yes I do." I said, "There's your ride home." He asked, "What do I do?" I told him "it's like an elevator, step in." He took one step in and my thought yelled, "don't leave me! I cried out again, don't leave me." He looked at me and said, "I'll see you again." Then he vanished and the light was gone. I had such a heavy heart after that.

No one believed my story, but he never called me after that night. It's been 14 years now and I just recently found his obituary online.

I enjoyed reading your site and thought I'd share some psychic experiences of my own. All had to do with when someone just died.

1) It was 19 yrs ago on Sept 19th. My son who at the time was 9 months old woke me up in the middle of the night for a bottle. I always had to get up at least one time a night with him till he was 10 months. Anyways, this time was different. As I was tiredly feeding him with my eyes closed, thinking he was sucking on the bottle, he just stopped and stared at me. A stare that made me feel real uneasy. I had never experienced this ever. The next day we got a phone call saying my husband's father died. That was on a Monday. Two days before my father in law saw my son for the 2nd time ever. And we were so grateful he did.

When my dad was dying and I knew any day it was going to happen, one night around 2:30am I woke up crying uncontrollably so I got up and went out on the couch so I wouldn't disturb my husband. I kept thinking of my father and how I was going to miss him. All of a sudden, I had a feeling of comfort as if some arms came around me and I stopped crying and the pain of his upcoming death went away. I went back to bed and looked at the clock and saw it was 2:35am. I got the call at 6:30am from my mother. It wasn't until I received months later a copy of this death certificate that I decided to look when he died exactly. It showed 2:35am. This was 9 yrs ago.

3) Some three and a half yrs ago my mother was terminally ill in the hospital after suffering a massive stroke. I live in Orlando and came up to Chicago to be with her till she passed. She died at 7pm on March 29th. That day hours before her death, I was just staring at her and crying. I noticed I got a feeling that her spirit wasn't in her body. That her body was a shell. And I felt her spirit above her body. The moment I felt this feeling a lady who was visiting the woman next too my mom cam over to me and said "you're mother's spirit is above her". I was shocked to hear her say the same words I felt. Then she and I talked about her near death experience and how she doesn't not fear death and how beautiful it will be when we are joined with our love ones. That same day, I saw a feather fall from the sky. I was on the third floor of the hospital. I remember how I felt when my dad passed and I was hoping for some sign from when my mother was going to pass on. It gave me such great comfort. Later that night when I told my family about my mom's passing, my son told me he felt someone patting him on the head as he was crying about her.

e-mail from Kathleen B:

In 1981, riding a motorbike with my husband, we were involved in an accident. My leg caught the side of a car and I was swung round in my seat. Then there was a sound like a vacuum sucking dirt up from the floor, but instead it was me. I found myself standing on the kerb watching the accident take place - beside me were 5 angelic beings dressed in white and surrounded by a brilliant white light. I felt totally at peace - then just as suddenly I was back into my body once more. I could hear a woman's voice telling me the ambulance was on the way, then I heard the sirens.. I will never forget it.

At around 9.30 one night, I was in bed asleep with my son of 14 months lying in his cot beside the bed. I awoke suddenly to see standing in front of me a little boy with lovely blonde hair, looking at all of my son's cuddly toys on a chair. He resembled my young brother when he was little, who in turn (when a baby) resembled my young son.

Confused I thought it was my son, but this boy was about 4-5 years old. Scared, I slithered down under the duvet where I stayed for about an hour. I wasn't asleep or had dreamt it - it was far too real. Later when I worked out dates, I realised that this little boy was the baby I miscarried, and he would be almost 5 years old. Somehow this made me feel comfortable. I went on to miscarry again, so I do hope that my two unborn children are with me - I can never forget them...

e-mail from Jo in Wembley:

My first memory of a contact with the spirit world was a couple of years ago. It was the middle of the night, and something made me wake up. I walked out into the hall and as I reached up to switch the light on, I saw a white mist rise up a few paces away. From within the mist appeared a young girl, aged about seven, dressed in a white Victorian-style dress, her hair in ringlets. I just froze to the spot - but there was no sense of malice. I was more surprised than fearful. It must have lasted only a few brief seconds, then I switched the light on and she instantly disappeared. Afterwards I did get a bit frightened - but there's been nothing since. The house I'm in is only a few years old with no history of ghosts or anything.

e-mail from Chris on Teesside:

People tell me I'm psychic - but I don't believe a word of it. All this stuff about angels - isn't it just the product of a wild imagination? (And I never liked Highway to Heaven, anyway).

Elizabeth from Invisible Friends replies:

Chris, No - it's definitely not the product of a wild imagination. We're all born with psychic ability, but around the age of seven some people lose this gift. It sounds as though someone has sensed that you have this ability inside of you, but perhaps it just needs developing further. Have you ever had help from someone that was unexpected - perhaps you've just been about to cross the road, then suddenly you stopped - and a moment later a car zoomed past. Or have you ever sensed that a loved one was in trouble or hurt - and then found out that they were, and that your phone call or message was just what they needed.

Some might refer to this as your 'sixth sense' or simply 'instinct' - but psychic ability and instinct are sometimes indistinguishable. No-one should force their opinions or beliefs upon others - and that is certainly not our intention. However, I know - without any doubt - that my own Guardian Angel is there protecting, and guiding me, every second of every day. (And I really enjoyed Highway to Heaven!)

e-mail from Joanne in Liverpool:

Early one morning, while lying half-asleep in bed, I could feel a cool breeze blowing around my face. I pulled the duvet up over my head but quickly got too hot and pulled it back down again. Annoyingly the breeze was still there, and to my surprise a baby's face suddenly appeared. Without warning it went Boo and chuckled. I burst out laughing at which point the baby disappeared. Has anyone else had a similar experience? It was really odd!

e-mail from Abby in Torquay:

Sometimes my dreams definitely seem to be trying to tell me something! One night I went to bed thinking about my sister who had died just a year earlier. One dream that night was very vivid - I was floating on fluffy clouds; two hands slowly reached out from the clouds holding a book and I was told to read it. On the front cover was the title 'On the Wings of Angels'. The next day I couldn't get the dream out of my head. I went to a bookshop and asked if the book existed - and indeed it did.

I ordered it, but after a few days was told it was out of print, and the deposit was returned. Three days later the book turned up in the post - no invoice, nothing. I'm sure that this was a present from my sister - the book itself tells how to sense when Angels are around. I wasn't convinced before, but now I'm certain there's life after death.
