Hi all, Yes its me again lol..I believe everyone is born with psychic/telepathic abilities, some stronger than others. We are all on this forum for the same reason, and that is to understand what lies beyond death. I have read some pretty amazing stories and seen some cool pics, and many in the eye of the beholder. Regardless of your Religious beliefs or skeptical mind, what IS it that makes you stand out, and maybe different from your siblings or friends? For example, I dont see spirits, just one apparition in all these years. I hear from people who have passed on, and see orbs. What is your gift for lack of a better word? JN

So, you're saying your demon is a gift?


*edit*
read it a second time.. YES, thats what it definitely sounds like..

NO Sunni that is not what I meant at all. What I indicated is being "open" can attract good and evil, that is why I remained blocked, but some things just come in anyway. Helping others and giving messages from loved ones is the gift. JN

I'm not here to understand what is beyond death. I'm here to understand the paranormal in this world. I don't consider ghosts dead people and or where we go when we die, if that's what you were referring to.

All that aside, I'm going to go out on a whim here and say that I'm a bit psychic. Sometimes I have premonitions that can't be explained away by coincidence.

Maybe I worded it incorrectly, however the paranormal to me, is about death for the most part. In any even that is cool. Do you have premonitions while awake or when sleeping? How often does it happen? Thanks..JN

I tend to have these premonitions during the day while I'm wide awake. It happens almost every other day. Nothing big, but events that pertain to what's going to happen in my day. Maybe the better word for it is precognition.

I also feel that I'm here, because I'm fascinated with the paranormal, more the ghost stories, because of my experiences with it. I also am fascinated with learning how one can learn history with ghosts and their stories.

I don't think all of us have gifts, but I do think most of us do. I think, that I am extremely empathetic to various levels of understanding(Does that make sense?). I am not sure if I'm psychic, psychotic maybe, but that is not psychic I guess. Although, I do feel the future sometimes, but I don't think I can predict it. Most all of my 'gifts' seem to come with feelings. So, I really do think I'm an empath on various levels. *Shrugs*

WOW Thats pretty amazing. Do you think if you honed that skill, you could actually change what is going to happen? JN

I love that kitty kat BTW..LOL..We are all fascinated with the paranormal, or we wouldnt be here, so again thats what I meant, cause it has to do with ghosts/spirits etc. I will never be a novelist..LOL...So you are an Empath? Thats very interesting. Does that mean you can feel other's pain, or one's death, or is it limited to you and yours in the future or current time? Are you an Empath to those on here as well, can you feel their fear or pain? JN

Yep , I agree with that--& also I believe that we all have them (different ones for different people) it's just a matter of finding them.

Very true, and BTW I am SO SO sorry.

I am in the same boat as sub_xone. However, my premonitions only really occur when I am really stressed about a current situation.

Im sorry about your stress, but I know the feeling. So you sort of "know" whats going to happen regarding a situation? Do you have the ability to change the outcome if it looks like it might be negative? JN

When this happens there isn't enough time to decide if its just my imagination running wild or if it is a premonition of sorts. I know this sounds fruity. However, when i see something I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach like damn that would suck and then it usually happens.

When I was playing baseball in hs we were leading 6-2 going into the final inning. As I headed out into centerfield I had a vision of the scoreboard reading 6-5. The final score of the game was 6-5. At first I thought damn, what a lucky guess. However it wasn't until years later when I was in the army when I thought maybe it was something much more than that.

While in Iraq I kept having this reoccuring nightmare of being shot at this one location. We were doing a routine station check and got into a fire fight and I took a shot to the head and it killed me instantly. For a week straight I kept having that same dream. I even told my Platoon Sgt about it and he just brushed it off saying we all have nightmares. Which is true.

However, the morning of Feb 14th, 2004. Valentines day of all days seemed really strange to me. Everything that went on felt like a one big massive episode of deja vu. We did our usual roaming patrols through the city and were about to head to D-Main which was the main base for the 101st to eat lunch. As we approached the gates a call came over the radio telling our patrol to check out one of the stations claiming they had an Al-Qaeda operative prisoner. The entire time I had a crappy feeling. I was a gunner basically a sitting duck on top of the humvee. We pull up to the station and I was the rear vehicle. The team leaders head in to check on the possible prisoner, after five minutes they come out saying they didn't have any prisoner and right when they passed through the gate all hell broke loose. An RPG roars by my truck hits the wall behind us, ak47s being sprayed from all angles and even the iraqi police turn on us. We were sitting ducks. Everyone in my squad takes cover behind the humvee and we are engaged in a heavy fire fight from both alleged alliance and insurgents. Another RPG roars by and then it clicked that I had been in this situation before. I am laying down supressive fire with my 249 and then I get a weapon jam. I try to clear the weapon and fix the problem, I go to pull the trigger and nothing. Again another Rpg flies by and this time everything went silent and black. I fell in the turret with my chest burning and unable to breathe. I open my ballistic vest to look for blood and to help me breathe but still I was unable to breathe. There was no blood and just as everything started to fade my air came back. I got back up in the turret fixed my weapon jam and began to fire as the teams loaded the trucks and we took off realizing it was a losing battle. Once we get to a safe house we check our wounds and our casualties. Two people were hit both were gunners. Me and the gunner in front. The gunner in front of me took a head shot. The same gunner who was supposed to be the rear vehicle.

When we got the call at Dmain to check out the station I was lead vehicle. When we turned around there wasn't enough room for us to back out without them taking lead. So they backed out first and took the lead and we became rear vehicle.

Pretty crazy and I still have nightmares.

However I do not think I can alter any events. If death wants you, death will get ya. Just biding my time till he comes knocking.

AWW. gosh JN, you have nothing to be sorry about..

wow, An Amazing experience.. you have my respect. I don't see how anyone would NOT have nightmares from almost certainty of death.. Thanks a lot for sharing that.
Happy you made it back to us..
-

OMG OMG..I can imagine you have nightmares and PTSD big time, that is just horrific ((HUGS)). I am glad you made it, and are here to tell the events. I do agree that when its our time to go, there is nothing we can do, nor can we predict it. You were very brave, and should be proud of yourself, I know we all are. You seem to have the capability of prediction, or maybe from a previous lifetime, or what could have happened or became an empath for the other casualties, its hard to say. But I truly believe we are all here for a reason, and obviously you are alive and here, and as you get older maybe you will become aware of what your mission in life is. I remember when my youngest was TWO years old, he used to run around pretending to have a gun and scream "Japanese Japanese" and look at the sky then duck down. How would HE know about war at that age, all he watched was Sesame Street etc. So I believe in lots of things such as reincarnation. Thank you for sharing your story, it made me cry. JN-

AWWWWWWWWW Thanks, but I have felt just terrible..I will never ever forget how you were there for me during times I needed a friend to help me thru one of the worst happening in my entire life. Thank you!!!!

Highly empathetic with things and slight dream prediction.

One instance is I had a dream where a humanoid figure made up of black smoke came into my room and began choking me. I awoke with a start and turned on the television to see that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center and was billowing black smoke.

Though I imagine this event probably set off things in more than a few people.

Few other minor things here and there, but I think a lot of this is genetic as things seem to be common within families.

WOW That is awesome. Sometimes our dreams are prophetic but we dont know it, till something happens. I agree that these abilities are possibly genetic, and some handed down for centuries. That 9/11 dream is really amazing. Thanks for sharing..JN

I believe everything you said, I'm so thankful that you made it back to us alive.

My Dad was a WWII vet. He used to speak of a woman who would come to him in dreams and warn him right before his unit encountered unexpected deadly battles.
I think she must've been his guardian angel.

Dad never stopped having nightmares of war. He suffered terribly from them. It was heartbreaking.
The nightmares lessoned with time, but I don't think anyone ever would truly loose them totally.

I'm so sad for you having to suffer this sadness. It's a dreadful thing for a human to experience.
~hugs~

---------------------------------------------
JN:
I consider anything that I've seen or experienced as natural and/or intuition. I've no special gifts that set me apart from my family as we all have experienced many of the same curiosities over the decades.

Great thread.
Interesting.

.

Shankpin...First of all thank you for serving your time in Iraq, and I'm glad you made it home safely.

JN...Well, I have no special gifts, nothing that I can hone into, just gut feelings....I sometimes sense danger, but that can be my overprotective nature, but what I'm really good at is predicting sports scores lol...It sounds funny, but I have done it so many times, that my family doesn't pay attention to me anymore...Only happens in baseball, or hockey, numbers come to my mind and bingo that's the final score...Now the downside is, that the numbers don't show what teams they go with, so I'd be a sucker to bet....It isn't a gift, just silly coincidence's.........But that's just me

Hi D, Nice to see you again. Yes, nightmares of war is the worst, and my Uncle was the same way. He was decorated, highly respected, but drank to stop the nightmares and flashbacks, may he RIP..I find intuition pretty amazing and often wonder if that would make someone like Mother's (as in mothers intuition) a bit psychic, or is it just the close maternal bond between the two? Thanks Hun..JN

(((((((((Goalie)))))))))) I love your quote ROFL..I think gut feelings are another level of being a psychic, but limited to numbers. Play the lottery girl, and dont forget to share!! Just remember my sweet friend, there are NO coincidences in life IMO..JN

No need to feel terrible about anything.. bygones, are bygones.. :}

My premonitions are before I wake in the morning, as I'm laying there with my eyes still closed.. I get visuals and thoughts with those visuals.. they are always preparing me for something.. This happens quite often, and more than likely they will be confirmed.
I have seen solid (look like me or you) spirits more than a few times in my life, I've had them come to me in a lot of confusion, and pain.
Sometimes when i meet someone I get a very strong impression about them.. this can be good or bad.. but the negative impressions are much stronger, and more specific.

Oh no that wasn't me, that was 419 who went to Iraq.... :]

I have the ability to sniff out BS.

I used to be able to predict The Simpsons episode that would be on every night, I used to freak my self out

AWWWWWWWW Thank you!!

WOW I would freak out if I saw full bodied apparitions. I saw one, but couldnt see details, she was white and about 3-4' high and was at the end of my bed, just suspended in mid air. So the fact the visuals prepare you, does that help you thru the day when something does happen? I think its a wonderful gift to be able to decipher whether you get a negative or positive feeling about someone you just meet. I always thought I was a good judge of character, but not that good LOL...Thanks..JN

How'd I screw that up

Thank you for serving in Iraq for us...I'm glad you made it home .....

Sorry, I'm a little late in answering.

by JustNormal:
Thanks for the mention of the kitty. I'm glad you like 'em!

You know, these are very good questions. And I think I can feel other's pain. I think I feel their joy and other things too. I also think I can feel someone's death. Whether it's someone I know, or a celebrity I am familiar with, I get very nausaus usually the day before. I remember feeling very sick the night prior to finding out Steve Irwin died. I remember traveling on the highway and feeling sick to my stomach and thinking, no hoping no one I know passed away. Unfortunately, it was my uncle who had died, and it was on that week that I was feeling sick. When I start feeling slightly sick to my stomach, I get really really nervous. I'm not sure I feel things in the future, or not. I think I do, but on more of a lesser scale. There were times, that I would feel not quite whole and a little paranoid, and then something would happen. One time, the biggest time I got this feeling, was just a little before a very good friend died in a car accident. Another time, and this is where I think it does spread a bit to other's lives, but I came into work one day, and my boss looked at my face and asked if I was ok. I said I was, but that I didn't feel all there and whole. I then explained to her, that I usually feel this way, before something bad happens, and I think explained about what happened before my friend died. It was not until some weeks later, my boss and I were talking, and then she started going in an accusing manner, "You! You! You!!! I......." and started waving the finger at me. I'm like, "What is wrong? Why are you doing that to me?" And she said, that very week I felt weird, she found out her sister was very sick. I couldn't apoligize to her enough.
As for people on here, I think I do, even though there is something in my head that tells me that is impossible! But there are a lot of times, I'll read someone's post, and get a picture of them, or can sense how they are feeling as they wrote the words in their post. I wonder if it just pops into my head randomly, or I can sense something from them, I don't know.
Most of the time, I like to be alone, because no matter how I love being with people, and learning about them in person, I need to go off and be alone. The reason, it's like I need a break from feeling them. Does this make sense? It's like, it's calmer when I'm alone. The air is not as thick.

LOL I do it all the time too..

Yes I love that kitty!! What you say does make perfect sense. You certainly have a gift, and sometimes its hard to tell if its a gift or curse, but its ours we own it. I can sort of tell by a post if someone is sad, in pain or stressed out, but not always. I admit I have cried at some of the stories on here over the past year or so. I believe your ability is very strong, and I understand you need a break, as it must be very draining. Thats pretty freaky about your boss, but I hope she realized it was not your fault. I remember walking into Walgreens a year or so ago, and just as I walked in, a man did also. He looked down, never looked up, and for some reason he scared me to death, as my heart raced and I had to leave the store. I never knew who he was, but the feelings about him were totally frightening. I felt he was dangerous, for some odd reason, so I can sort of relate to your feelings. Do you think that you could actually sit down and read someone? By that I mean tell them about their family, love life, future etc? OR is it random? Thanks so much for sharing, you rock!! JN

I'm an empath. I am very sensitive to other people's emotions and feelings, and even moreso to spirits'. 9 times out of 10 if there is a spirit around, I can feel it. It's like the air changes, gets thicker in my lungs, and the vibe in the air changes. Strong emotions I feel myself, especially sadness.

I've also had a few premonitions before. The one I always used to tell people was about one night when I was a teenager. I was in my room getting a sweater cause it was cold. It was 7:30 and the lottery had just come on. I saw this black flash in my mind with white letters. "4 2 9 3" and without thinking yelled them out. An instant later, the daily four numbers were read. 4... "oh i got one right". 2... "wow, two in a row". 9... "holy sh**". 3... I didn't have time to say anything, my mom screamed "why didn't you tell me that this morning!" LOL! I've gotten pieces right before and since, but never the whole thing in order like that.

The second actually happened when I was a senior in college - 2003. It was early morning - around 7 or 8ish. I had a dream so horrible that it woke me from a dead sleep. A bridge had collapsed. When I woke, I was sweating and panicked, and it took me a few minutes to realize where I was and that it was all a dream. The horrid images were imprinted in my memory, and I just knew that what I saw was going to happen. I was nervous for weeks, waiting for the news that one of our state (WV) bridges had collapsed - even warning friends and family. It never came. Eventually I stopped thinking about it, and kind of felt stupid, but the images never left my memory. 4 years later, the news came. I bawled watching the footage on tv. It was the images exactly as I had remembered them. The bridge was the I35W bridge in Minneapolis. I can't fathom why I dreamed about this 4 years before it happened. Certainly there's nothing I could've done to stop it.

Luckily that was the only big premonition I've had like that. Don't normally talk about it. Absolutely no one I know believes me, except my mom who is used to me now, lol.

lets go to vegas :>

WOW Excellent..Seems you are very psychic and prophetic, and that can be a blessing. I saw a special on that bridge that collapsed, how horrible that was. Im sure Mom takes you seriously and rightfully so. I have had prophetic dreams as well, but not any longer for some reason. Maybe cause I barely sleep LOL...Years ago, I dreamed I was at a wake and someone obviously had died. I looked in the casket and it was my oldest son, but then I realized he was beside me. Then I looked again and it was my baby, and looked and he was on the other side of me. Then I saw my brother, but he was sitting down with my other brother. I then realized it was my closest brother who was 13 mos older than me, in that casket. I woke crying, knowing he was going to die and told my husband and youngest brother what I felt, but they felt it was just a dream. Two nights later on Labor day I got a call from my brother's g/f's mother, that there had been an accident and she didnt know how my brother was, but her daughter was hysterical. I called the hospital and was told "the accident was a bad one and your brother is dead." I sort of remember screaming. I wished I didnt dream that, but I did, but it didnt prepare me for the grief and pain I felt for years. So I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes you feel silly sharing it, but keep a journal and date it, that would be interesting. BTW I believe you..Thanks for sharing and PLAY THE LOTTERY..LOL..JN

LOL Lets all go, how can we lose?

I too can sense when the spirit's come around and almost exactly the same way. As to people. I am able to "figure" out people really quick. What motivates them, why they are doing a certain thing, etc. I have a very good track record on that ability. I also apparently have a flashing neon sign on my forehead that tells people (even complete strangers) that I am a good listener. It used to drive my exhusband nuts when strangers would come up to me and start talking as if I were a long lost friend. My daughter is a very capable empath. It caused her problems growing up as she didn't realize what was happening and didn't know how to shield herself then. She was picking up everyones emotions and taking them as her own, it drove her nuts (not literally ) until I figured out what was happening to her.

I had a wise man tell me once not to use the term "gift" because we ALL are born with something; to a certain extent. I tend to agree with him.

I think everyone is born with something; just variations of levels. As they say "practice makes perfect".

Anyone who has had a gut feeling about something that turns out true--- that's it... can be small or huge but still is a form of "psychic-ness". ((did I just make up a word?))

Meditation, used correctly, can help one figure out their own strengths and/or weaknesses.

Btw, glad to see you JN !! Hope life is good for you

♥ Jody

You know, I think, I am grateful for it.

Yeah, I can tell you are so open to their feelings, and I can feel that. It's weird, but I can feel that.

I'm worried, that you are going to get drained by it.

Thank you!

She does. I think that I did that, is what really freaked her out. I think from then on, she takes my feelings very seriously from then on. I have moved to another state since then.

Thank you and I think you rock too!!!!
I can understand how you can read that guy. I wonder, if there was a way for you research and see what his actions were after that. I get that from people. I work in retail, and there are so many times, I can feel someone and their intentions, even though how they are dressed belays that. I sometimes will read their body lanquage, but I do that out of habit of someone who has worked in retail her whole adult life. Even then, what I feel from someone throws what their body lanquage out the window. And you know something, I sometimes found that my inner senses end up being right. My husband sometimes goes by my inner senses, cause he has seen how they end up being correct.

Next is Atlantic city!!!!

i really don't know what gift, if any, i have....vehicle maintainance and lawn care?....

randomhit10

RH10-- OOooooOOOOooo those are awesome gifts!! I can iron, cook and.... oh nevermind **saunters off**

My gift is to be able to whoop your @ss in Unreal Tournament.

and what is unreal tournament?

randomhit10

A game.

Anyway, so what type of paranormal "gift" ?? Hmmm, .... (sorry for the derailment JN)

Mine is the gift to apply logic to all of the illogical things that I have seen and been through. Even though these things are not at all logical. I also have the gift to tolerate closed minds ... if I could just pry them open!!!

Very impressive..
