Ghosts (or the paranormal) - do you believe....

[Fugitive]

I do believe when somebody very close to us dies we become hyper-sensitive to happenings. Things that would happen anyway but we notice them because we are in an altered state of mind and not believing they have really gone.

A few hours before my husband died in hospital he told me all the important documents I would need were in a specific drawer, in a large envelope, in his desk in the attic.

I got home after he died in the early hours of the morning. I was alone because I wanted to be. I went into the attic, dived into his desk into the wrong drawer. It was the drawer he kept all our cards given to each other over our twenty years of marriage. There were hundreds of them. I rummaged in a mindless way thinking I'd find that important envelope. The cards fell out into a heap on the floor.

I picked one up. It was a beautiful card given to me from him several years earlier. It read 'Thank you for being you. For everything we've shared. For your love and support over our years together. I will always love you'

I do believe.

Tbh, I don't really know what to believe.

I think I have had a couple of ghostly experiences but I am not sure - it could have just been my mind playing tricks on me.

I neither believe or disbelieve. I just don't know.

My mother believed in ghosts, and swears she saw one who predicted the death of
her second child - my sister who died when I was only a baby.

Something paranormal can happen when our minds are in that altered state.

I only used my old Nokia phone when I was driving on my own for security. It just had close family and the RAC in my contacts. The day after my Mum died I switched the phone on and instead of the opening screen it opened showing my Mum's phone number.

I still think she was trying to get through to me and I found it magical.

I would never seek to make contact.
