Hi all,

I have mentioned this before but there's now a new and interesting development.

Back in 2006 I saw a shadowy figure in my mums house, it was peeking around a doorway at me, it freaked me out to be honest and I forgot about it until recent events.

Today I was talking to my youngest nephew, I heard that he'd seen a "ghost" at my sisters old house. I asked him about it and he said that he'd seen one at my mums, I didn't know about this so I asked him what happened and he said that he saw a shadowy figure peeking around a doorway at him, the same doorway where I saw it.

We have never spoke about this with each other before and I let him tell me what he saw before I told him about what I had seen that day.

I had a feeling at the time that it was my father who died in 2001 but as he was the only person who I'd lost at that time I might have been putting 2 and 2 together. Now I'm more certain it was him as he was very close to my nephew who saw this entity.

There was no bad feeling when I saw it so I don't think it was negative.

Why would a spirit hide like this? It's pretty weird if you ask me.

Hi Vicky,

Well, the main reason I think it was my father is an assumption, I think. It's hard as it was so long ago now, also I did actually block this out for some time as I didn't want to have anything to do with it, if that makes any sense?

I have always been open to accept this stuff as possible but when I saw this it nearly gave me a heart attack, the feeling of being watched was very strong hence me turning around to see what it was. After that I didn't feel threatened or scared, I was quite calm, I did question what I had saw, was it my imagination? etc but I knew it was real and that was the problem for me at the time. It should have been a life changing event for me but I didn't let that happen, I was 23/24 and thought I knew it all but this made me think that I knew nothing.

As for my nephew, I didn't ask him who he thought it was lol.

I even saw a full apparition a year or so later which is also verified by several more people and I still didn't want to know, we think this was the former occupant of the house I was living in so no one I knew personally.

As you can probably tell, I'm stubborn  .

Has it helped my beliefs? It has certainly helped me realise that I definitely wasn't seeing things that day but I knew this anyway. As for life after death, well after recent events I really don't need any more confirmation of that than I have already, it's a fact of life for me now, there's no going back.

I do have doubts which are me doubting whether or not certain things were happening or not but that's just me being stupid  .

Vicky, you do make a lot of sense with your replies and thanks for everything you have done to help me, especially when I first came here  .

Hi Vicky,

I know what you mean about judging other peoples experiences. You can't feel the same way as the person who has had them, it's impossible. The same can be said about anything, like if I told you I was in a car crash, I could explain what it was like but it doesn't come close to experiencing it for yourself does it?

I can assure you that I am a extremely rational person, if you met me in person you would see this. It also helps that I don't look for things, I never have, they all happened out of the blue.

I started a new job a month ago, only a couple of people there know what had happened a few months ago. If I told anyone else they would be shocked by the event but they would be even more shocked at how I am, they don't have a clue as I'm fine. This is the most amazing part of it to me.

I don't have an issue with telling them, but I know it would change the way they treat me and I don't want that. I'm talking about my sons passing and not the other stuff of course.

As for my girlfriend, she is now 30 weeks pregnant and everythings been perfect so far, Lyndons pregnancy was troublesome to say the least so I find this a bit odd tbh, I'm not complaining though.

She has also had some experiences herself now, a few dreams which has made her more at peace and also we both experienced somebody touching us even an arm around the waist. I didn't tell her it was happening to me, she asked me if it had been happening to me first, it doesn't get more real than that, does it?
