Hi I'm Steffie, I can feel ghosts... I don't want this anymore... Does somebody know what I can do about it? It's realy disturbing sometimes... it still scares me after all these years (I'm 18 now and I know I can feel ghosts for 6 years) Is there someone who feels the same?

I understand, Stef. I feel them too, maybe not as frequently, but what about it scares you?

From what I have read, its not something you can easily turn on or off. You have to learn to adapt to it. You were obviously blessed with this gift for a reason, you should learn what reason that is and try to make good with it if you can. Whether helping spirits cross over, or by helping loved ones.

Try to envision a brillant white light...and it surround your body like an armor.

Chances are that this feeling of yours is all in your head. Usually, when someone realizes a supposedly paranormal event is actually more psychological, the problem will go away.

Unless you have any logical reason to believe what you feel are ghosts, don't even bother thinking it.

Always go for the simplest solution.

Just turn it off. Anvil will have better advice.

Describe this "feeling" that you have.

I may be able to help you, but I would like to know more first, like swampgator asked, in what way do you experience them? more info please!!!!

it's a weird feeling it's not like I feel a cold or something but it's different sometimes. I can feel when someone is watching me 2 so I know "something else" is there but sometimes it's like something is stopping my breath but I am breathing normally, it's a very weird feeling and other times its just like I can feel like someone is passing by it's weird to explain these feelings. I have this for a long time and it's not in my head, I discovered that my grandmother can feel 2, because I told her

acknowledge them. that is all they want.

HmMm..everythin happens for a reason right?..so you must have this talent slash gift thingy for a reason..usually when u get a gift ur suppose to use it to do good things so maybe ur suppose to help someone or somethin..

Go to the doctor and get a full check up and tell him all your symptoms.

I don't need stupid answers

Uh, excuse me that's not a stupid answer. That's the most logical and rational answer yet. There's nothing wrong with going in for a medical check up and making sure that what your feeling doesn't have a medical origin.

Then get some anger mangement.

Coldethyl, if you're not going to support her delusion you have no business in this thread!

You're just paranoid and have a very active imagination.

It doesn't have a medical origin, I don't need anger management, I just need advice, I had to deal with a lot of people who wont take my seriously, I know what I'm feeling and it's not all in my head or whatever.

It seems as such.

I try and be nice by not criticising and just giving friendly advice and still I make people mad!

How do you know it isn't medical in origin if you haven't been checked by a doctor?

LMAO. So sad but true.
Always assume medical before paranormal. Come on. Logic dictates rule out the obvious.

Unless you've been punched in the face and given a black eye by a ghost I would chalk it up to a mental disorder. No offense meant.

I allready have this for a very long time... in the past years I've seen a lot of doctors but not about that :s I'm sorry if I was rude or something but I just want people to understand me :s

I don't have a mental disorder... I'm perfectly normal... I'm not crazy, I know what I can feel, I know what's real and what's not you know...

Personally, I believe a lot of you are being a tad too harsh on the girl. This is why people hesitate to even post such things in these forums. Isnt this about advice, people seeking help and information. Thinking she has a mental disorder because she see's things? She came here for advice, not to be bashed on. I know a lot of you are sarcastic in your posts which often come off rude, but before you suggest the girl needs a shrink or needs to be locked up in a padded room, none of us are perfect, most of us dont want to be. We are all here for different reasons, whether you want to make a mockery of people seeking help, or to truely help someone in need, or seek answers for yourself. If you do not have anything intelligent or respectful to say, then why say it?

I know im not the ol highly rightious person in this aspect, for I have critisized many posts and threads. Give the girl the benefit of the doubt, help her expand her education about this type of thing so she can see if what she has is a gift or a disorder.

Those who automatically think this is a disorder are closed minded to the possibilities of what our minds are capable of.

I didn't say anything about a mental disorder. I said a medical doctor. I wasn't being sarcastic or funny or anything in my first post. It was a serious, honest suggestion that she didn't like for whatever reason.

I'm not defending myself anymore because I don't think I did anything wrong here.

I dont think you did anything wrong either...

Im just saying, before we send her to the doctor and for that doctor to say hey your crazy simply because he doesnt believe in that sort of thing, which could be costly, we should first give her advice on what to do with her said situation rather than having her look like a tool in front of doctors who have no faith in the afterlife.

Why spend hundreds of dollars for them to say an over active imagination? Does she have one? Who knows. Is she Gifted? Who knows. We can not walk a day in her shoes, nor can she in ours. So we may never know

I'm sorry if I was rude or something, but some reactions I get are negative and I just want to talk to somebody who feels the same...

I agree with Ethyl

Steffi says this -



This doesn't sound like anything I know of...anything to do with breathing I would go see a Dr first!

it's really hard for me to explain this in English for me... I just described it as good ad I can, it's just like something is like holding on to me for a while... it's a weird feeling

S'okay, no hard feelings.



Thanks. That's what I was getting at. Lack of oxygen can make your head tingle and give you all sorts of weird feelings. And if she's got asthma it would be beneficial to know.

Anyway...good luck!

Actually I have heard of cases of this type of situation. When a presence is known to walk through someone, it takes the breath away so to speak, maybe a millisecond, but it does. I myself while on an investigation hit an extremely cold spot, lost my breath...sorta like when you walk out of your house in the middle of winter and you lose your breath for a second or two. It is possible

I don't have asthma :s I'm just saying that its like something is stopping my breathing but I am breathing normally... it's a feeling

I agree Noah. This has happened to me a bunch of times. However, my realm is the empathic one, so I tend to feel what the spirit/ghost was feeling. The worst one was when I was around one who hung himself. I couldn't breathe till I got out of the area.

Fair enough Noah but you have the experience to back it up and know what it related to at the time for you.

On the info that Steffi has provided after being asked to further expand it seems she has breathing probs and provides no example of when and why.

Often when one comes into contact with the spirit, or ghost if you will, you will feel the loss of breath, and their emotions...IE sorrow, dread, anger and so on.

But if we just accept that she is sensing ghosts how scientific is that? I'm just asking because I really see it as a good idea to get all the mundane things ruled out before just blindly jumping to paranormal conclusions. But that's just me.

I reaaallly don't have breathing probs... I don't have asthma or anything else... it's just when I feel a "precense" my breathing is weird... it feels like something is stopping my breathing... how many times do I have to explain this over and over again?

How scientific is it to send her to the doctor to rule her "Crazy" if you will. Im not ruling this paranormal, im ruling this as to help her FIND OUT, if she has a gift before we send her to a doctor.

Sounds like an anxiety attack.

So assume a outlandish idea, instead of a logical one.

We don't know the circumstances tho, If i was to see someone complain of breathing probs, i wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion of a ghost/spirit first..

Steffie I understand english isn't your first language but can you expand more, give us an example of when this happens, what are you doing at the time, how often does this happen, does it happen anytime anyplace or only in certain places?

I won't. I didn't say anything about a psychiatrist. I said medical doctor. There's a difference. A big difference. A medical doctor to deal with the physical symptoms. I'm not the one who said she was mentally ill.

Good grief, nevermind.

ok everyone!!..noone has right or wrong answers..but..whoever posts I!! first..is the right one for sure ok go!!

That was going thru my mind along with asthma, allergies, hayfever or something. We need more info from steffi

Ok, I for one, I am experiencing this type of thing. I would research it, to see if i had a gift rather than going to a doctor and being like hey doc, i have been feeling what i think are ghosts around me. Do you think this is possible. The doctor being a professional would say his theoriotical views then when i leave will go out in the office with the receptionist or other doctors and be like "You will not believe what I just heard" Then they would all have a big laugh at my expense. This is to save face. Not ruin her or her family's reputation at the doctors office

Well the doctor would ask her questions as to why she feels she is having these symptoms, its going to come out.

Good grief...AHH NEVERMIND

it happens on a lot of places... when I'm just like watching tv or walking or whatever... I can feel things coming on to me... like I said, like something is just passing by or suddenly something "stops" my breathing, sometimes I can feel it longer than other times... it depends... I know I had these "feelings" for a long time. It's not like I just had it yesterday or last week...

I don't see why a Dr would see this as crazy? If one was to outrule that she didn't have a medical problem and yet she still suffered from breathing probs then that would become another story....

The last thing I would be worried about is saving face. If I saw ghosts are heard voices, I would be more worried about loosing my mind. My mother heard voices and she is schizophrenic.

There are several medical reasons she could be feeling the way she does yet she jumps to the conclusion that she is feeling ghost. I for one would go to the doctor to see what was wrong and if they found nothing then and only then would I consider a paranormal reason.
