Paranormal Q&A: Sensitivity to Spirits and Ghosts

Many people are sensitive to spirit and some don't acknowledge it. Sometimes, being sensitive to spirits or energy (even emotional energy) can strongly affect people. For example, if you're around someone who is a negative person and you're sensitive, after you leave them, you may feel physically and mentally exhausted. That's an example of what energy does to a sensitive person.
  The following email came to me from someone who is sensitive and may also be experiencing a haunting. If you believe you are experiencing a haunting, please contact your local paranormal group (search in Google under "Paranormal group" and enter your city and state). Hauntings that are adversely affecting living people need to be managed and cleared.

EMAIL: 

Hello  A friend told me to search the Internet about sensitive people and I found your website. 

   I see dark and white shadow people, dream and feel things. I have had a lot of things occur in my apartment that are disconcerting. For example I have awoke to find curry powder, ice cubes or spoons on my floor. 

  Recently there has been a dark figure hanging from my 8 foot high ceiling fan, but disappears as I fully enter the room. 

   I've experienced things since my father and grandfather has died at age 5. I saw them during the day and night. I felt like they tried to drag me back to their grave, awoken with bruises and I started to sleep walk. My mum took me to a children's hospital and they gave me dream suppressors. That is what was told to me. They helped until I turned 12.

MY RESPONSE:

  You have high sensitivity, and are likely a very emotional person. Your father and grandfather's spirits were not likely trying to hurt you, but trying to protect you. Your nightmares were likely from a fear of death at a young age. I had similar scary dreams after my relatives passed. I kept dreaming of graves. But remember that dreams are a way that spirits (not Earth bound ghosts) can give us messages. 

    More importantly, there may be a ghost in your home and it sounds like it needs to be cleared out and crossed over. Contact a local paranormal investigation group and have them do an investigation- tell them you believe you have a ghost in the home and need it to be cleared. 

   Paranormal groups should not charge for services- if one does, go to another. 

- It seems as if you need to purge your apartment of any earth-bound ghosts.

Book Reviews I Like: Pets and the Afterlife "Great book for the grief stricken"

Book reviews mean a lot to authors on AmazonCom and it's encouraging to find people who are moved by your writings, inspired or have learned something. Here's a book review that was recently posted on my book "Pets and the Afterlife."

Skin2spirit

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the grief stricken

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I liked this book a lot. It really helped me think of my kitty who passed in a more positive way, knowing she is in the afterlife veil and is still with me. It brings great comfort. I know she will return to me one day in a new kitty body!

ABOUT THE BOOK- To a pet parent, to lose a pet means to lose a child. The love we share with our pets never dies, and the author proves our pets do communicate with us from the other side. Learn how dogs, cats, horses and some birds have the intelligence and ability to send signs to the living after they pass. Take comfort in knowing our pets are around us from time to time and recognize the signs they give. Learn how they wait for us when it’s our time, what a pet’s ashes can do, and the difference between ghosts and spirits. Learn how and why living pets can sense entities. Follow one of the author's dogs on a ghost investigation. Read how spirits of the author’s 2 dogs and dogs from three other mediums communicated with them from the other side. Read about spirit cats and how a ghostly dog rescued a girl. The author also volunteers for Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and has several dogs.

All About Phobias

Healthline dot com published an interesting article on phobias, and  I thought you may want to read about phobias in general from that interesting article.  First, let's talk about the fear of ghosts, and then get into a bunch of other fears. Read on:

Phasmophobia is an intense fear of ghosts. For people with a ghost phobia, the mere mention of supernatural things — ghosts, witches, vampires — can be enough to evoke the irrational fear. Other times, a movie or TV show might be responsible.

Recollections or imagined scenarios may be all that’s needed to generate the severe anxiety or absolute terror that is associated with a ghost phobia, too.

Read on to find out if your dread of a scary movie, empty house, or Halloween decoration is a normal level of fear or dislike, or if it’s a genuine phobia.

Fear of ghosts
Many children experience a fear of ghosts or otherworldly beings from a young age. For many, those fears and anxieties will disappear as they move into adolescence. But for others, the fear remains. It may even worsen into a chronic and potentially debilitating phobia.

Causes
It’s unclear why phobias of any type develop. Some people with a genetic predisposition to anxiety have an increased risk of developing a phobia. Trauma or distressing life events may set the stage for future phobias. For others, it may develop independently.

Effects
People with a phobia of ghosts frequently report sensing a presence when they’re alone. Tiny noises turn into proof positive that their fears are founded. They may even get the distinct impression that they’re being watched or are moments away from a confrontation with a supernatural being.

The sense of dread may be so severe it leaves them unable to move or perform necessary functions. Getting up to go to the bathroom or even falling asleep may be too difficult or provoke too much anxiety.

Contributing phobias
Other phobias, such as a fear of being alone (autophobia), may actually play into developing phasmophobia. ResearchTrusted Source suggests people who have intense fears of being alone, especially at night or when sleeping, may likewise have a fear of these ghostly presences.

It isn’t clear if the fear of ghosts comes first or if it develops as a result of an existing fear of the darkness and nighttime.

Symptoms
People with a fear of ghosts my experience symptoms, such as:

• panic attacks
• difficulty sleeping alone
• intense anxiety
• intense sense of dread or impending doom
• not going to the bathroom at night
• avoiding being alone
• daytime drowsiness (from lack of sleep)
• drop in productivity (from lack of sleep)

A panic attack is the most common symptom of a phobia. It’s immensely disabling, as it often interrupts and stops a person’s daily life. However, you can have a true phobia and not have panic attacks. Other symptoms may be present and debilitating enough for a diagnosis.

People with this phobia may begin to develop rituals, or activities they do in an attempt to avoid or “ward off” ghosts they might encounter.

If these rituals become compulsive — that is, you cannot carry on your normal activities unless you do these measures first — you may be developing an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

How it affects daily life
A fear of ghosts isn’t just a problem for Halloween night or when walking the dark streets of an old city. Actually, a fear of ghosts can pop into your daily life at any point, rendering you too nervous or anxious to continue on with your daily activities. You may have a ghost phobia if you:

Can’t be left alone
People with phasmophobia may be entirely too uncomfortable or anxious to be left at home or in the office alone, especially at night. Sleeping alone in a house overnight is likely entirely out of the question. Likewise, traveling for work — and being alone in a hotel room — may also be problematic.

Avoid dark spaces in home
You may think a fear of monsters under the bed passes as children transition into their adolescent years — and for many, it does — but people with this phobia may fear:

• dark closets
• dark rooms
• dark windows
• dark spaces under furniture
• Recall fearful images

People with this phobia may know to avoid scary movies, but if they accidentally see something — a movie trailer, perhaps — or are made to watch it for some reason, the images from the movie may replay in their mind again and again. This will increase anxiety and symptoms.


Likewise, reading scary stories or researching supernatural activities may trigger the phobia.

Experience Sleep Loss
Because nighttime often heightens the sense of dread and worry for people with a fear of ghosts, sleep may be nearly impossible. This is especially true if you’re alone. Ultimately, this can lead to sleep deprivation, daytime sleepiness, and a drop in productivity at work.

If you've never been to a medium- How it Works

Mediumship gives puzzle pieces YOU assemble

If you have never spoken with a medium before you need to know that pets and people in spirit will usually give signs, symbols or pictures of things that may not make immediate sense, but they will make sense to you over time.
  So, don't be frustrated with a medium if you don't understand something immediately. Today's blog explains how mediumship works and why you need patience.

CASE IN POINT - One may finally figured out what the number 512 meant, 6 months after his black lab kept repeating the number (Turned out it was associated with the medical code for the condition in which took the dog's life- and the man, who is a doctor, was able to piece it together 6 months later).

BE PATIENT WITH MEDIUMS - Mediums, like me, are just messengers sharing what we're being told by people in spirit (or Earthbound ghosts). We don't know these people like you do, and sometimes they will give us the name of a place, object (like a piece of jewelry, a boat or hammer for instance) and they want us to tell their loved one about it because it has some personal meaning that connects them to their loved one.
  As a medium, I would have absolutely NO idea what anything like those random objects would mean, so I couldn't interpret the message. That's up to the person getting the reading.
It's all pretty fascinating what spirits (who crossed over) will share. Half the time, mediums are left wondering what in the world was the significance of that? While the person for whom the message was intended understands.

ABOUT THE BOOK:  When a Medium Befriends a Spirit-  It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England.As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit. "Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state" - Author Rob Gutro describing his relationship with Ed's spirit
