I don't know if this is a physical issue with me, or if this could be a paranormal experience.  After scattering my husbands ashes last week, later that same night, I started smelling the smell of cigarette smoke in the home.  It is very strong.  I even smelled cigarette smoke when doing my shopping.  Again, I don't know if this is a health issue or a paranormal one.  

The ashes had only been in the home for a day, and they had been moved out of the room because I could smell what smelled like a "fishy smell".  I am beginning to second guess myself, as I have never experienced anything like this before.  I have sent an email to the vicar of our church, as I feel a blessing needs to be done on the home.  I am also going to seek medical attention to rule out any health issues.  

Just looking for answers.

I am unable to explain the sickening smell of cigarette smoke throughout my

town house. I am a non-smoker.

My investigation began about a week ago, when I returned home from shopping.

As I opened the door from the garage to the downstairs hall, I immediately

detected the stench of cigarette smoke. Since there hasn't been any

cigarette smoking in my home for the past twelve years, I suddenly surmised

that a burglar was probably at work upstairs. Slowly but very cautiously, I

checked-out the downstairs, then moved up to the main floor. Nobody here

either. If a burglar was here he would surly be on the top floor. As I had

been burgled some several years ago, I hesitated. Should I call the police?

Should I get my baseball bat from the lower floor? I couldn't decide what

action to take. I quietly waited and listened. There was not a sound, but

the smell of cigarette smoke was beginning to cause me to gag. After what

seemed to be an hour, it was in fact only a few minutes, I slowly made my

way up to the top level. The guest room was my first entry. No burglar or

sign of any intruder here. I moved a bit quicker, but with continued

caution, moved from room to room. No intruder and no burglar, caused me to

assume the burglar had come, burgled and exited my home. I wasn't frightened

any longer, but another fear came upon me. What was missing? What was

stolen? I checked and rechecked the entire house. Nothing was gone. Nothing

was even disturbed!

Something was out of sorts and my first inclination was my new neighbour.

What kind of cigarettes do you smoke Sully? Why I haven't smoked in years.

Why do you ask, he exclaimed? I briefly told Sully my story. I haven't had

any company since moving in either, he said. The smoke must be coming from

your neighbour on the other side, Sully quipped. No, I've been taking care

of John and Lonnie's home while they are away, I said. There was only one

other place where the smell could come from, the bush behind my property.

Some under-age kids must be in there smoking. I went upstairs and gazed out

my bedroom window onto the bush. Ahha, I said. As I saw something move... I

rushed to get my binoculars. Two blue jays were playing or mating or

whatever. I eliminated all the possibilities that I could think of, then

decided to call my wife.

Sharon, I've got a problem and I know only a sleuth like you can help me

solve it. By the time I finished my story she interrupted and said, It's

your mother! I immediately replied, You mean her spirit or ghost? She then

went on to tell me that she also smelled cigarette smoke in her home only

yesterday. What else could it be I said?

Tonight there's a slight breeze outside and all of my windows are open. In

spite of this, the entire house simply reeks of cigarette smoke. What do I

do next?

Oh yes, one other thing. My mother of eighty-nine years, passed away on

February 21st of this year. She was a heavy smoker up until a few years ago,

when she entered a medical centre for the aged.

It's all up to you now my friend. How do I get rid of this sickening smelly

cigarette smoke?

The most amazing thing about your story is how long your mother lived as a heavy smoker.  But I know several people who smoked heavily who lived well into their 80s.

Hi name is Pam.

I listen to your story and I think it was beautiful, but I do think you left the most important part till last.’’your mother.’’  past away on Feb 21.’  she would be so happy that you  remembered her so well.  I'm sure she would have come back to remind you, but the most important thing is with our loved ones, never underestimate the love  they will always find their way back,

she  was probably knocking on your door your window and everything else trying to let you know that she is here.  But you wasn't listening.

 So I believe the best next thing she thought of was the smoking, so the next time that you smell the smoke, tell your mother, that you have not forgot her., Sometimes  our loved one’s just want to reconnect again, God bless her,

Pam McCagh
