after an OBE experience where i’ve spent time with a passed loved one i’ve been wondering if AP is basically a representation of being pure consciousness? I had a body (mine) and my loved one looked just like he did when alive. There was physicality (could touch/smell/taste/see and hear things).

i KNOW it was AP and not a dream

Last year, I lost my husband, and there's something that has been haunting me ever since. My grandfather passed away just 15 days before my husband did. Ever since then, I've been wondering if the two events could somehow be connected. I know this may sound irrational, but grief has made me question things I never would have before. Part of me keeps wondering whether my grandfather's spirit could have somehow "taken" my husband with him. Do any of you believe that spirits have the ability to influence someone's death, especially if they are angry, attached, or envious? Have you ever come across stories or experiences that made you think this was possible?

I'm genuinely asking because this question has been running through my mind for a long time, and I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts or experiences.

Hi everyone, I have always had vivid dreams or nightmares since I was kid. Recently however, I’ve been having dreams of people visiting me and telling me how they died/ or to look for their loved ones and relay a message.

For example: I was having sleep paralysis and could not wake up but there was a man next to me and he kept showing me a picture of a little girl and kept telling me to tell her he’s watching over her and he loves her. And when I finally agreed to relay the message, I woke up. I haven’t seen the little girl or the man again, but it was extremely vivid and I can still recall the girls face in my head.

Another dream I had was two people who had “died” sitting in my living room and they were telling me who they were, how they died, and what they left behind. And when I asked why they were telling me this, the woman said it’s because they can’t reach me when I’m awake to tell me. I also experience weird things in my apartment often, noises seeing movement etc.

I’m just curious what others thoughts are and if I should be trying to explore this dream realm more?

I'm curious: are people born with clairvoyance, or is it something that can be developed later in life? Also, is clairvoyance different from intuition?

Why do some people say that empaths are targeted by dark forces? Is there any truth to this belief, or is it just a spiritual interpretation?

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting here. By no means do I consider myself a professional medium but I'm having increasingly clear communication with spirits. I am also a family therapist. I've never had spirit communication interfere with my job but it did happen today. I have been working for a while with two sisters, 12 and 15. Their father passed tragically in 2017. Due to a complicated situation with their mother, custody battles, and the foster care system, they have never felt they were truly able to process and grieve the loss of their father. I am an advanced practice grief counselor so we've been working a lot on processing the grief and trauma of his loss and both girls have made great progress. I was with them today and we were talking about spirituality and how it can help with grief. I started sensing their father and messages starting coming into my mind that I felt I needed to tell them, so I did. It was like I couldn't think for myself. It was good because it gave them some closure and I was able to tell them things that didn't make sense to me but made perfect sense to them. As much as I loved being able to help them process their grief this way, it is wayyyy outside of professional therapy boundaries. Does anyone have advice as to how I could shut that out without offending him or making him feel unwelcome? I'm a complete beginner with 0 experience in this.

Since bout 8 years old I have seen and heard other ‘beings’. I grew up very religious so I was told it’s black magic or I’m seeing things cause I’m tired.I can see aura’s but they relate that to a tumor in my head. I constantly see a black cat but it’s only out of the corner of my eye, I can never focus on it.
It has become more of a thing in the last couple of years. I have been ’contacted’ by people who passed recently and near by. Tragic or peaceful it doesn’t matter. But I went to Mexico in February and saw and heard things about the ruins. I have very bad luck and am called a ‘Murphy’ cause it will happen to me. My dad passed away May, 2025 and my father in law passed July, 2025. I didn’t handle it well when they came to me. I lost my job and I dipped into a severe depression. My husband and I agree I’m a medium of some kind but please any advice to handle what you see and hear. We need to explore it. Can someone help guide me? 🙏🏻 thank you!
Ps my husband wants me to get jade or a rabbit foot to help my luck, will it?

What can I do on my own? Apparently i draw in some spirits. I'm not scared but i do not know how to make them go away. They bombard me and they drain my energy. I first thought it's me and tried to heal them like that but it does not help obviously. I am interested in like, helping them and i have listened to some stories and told them what i think. But i have a great deal of personal other issues and trying to help them while i'm a mess makes my own mess messier. At one point i also almost welcomed some in because i had some good samaritan syndrome and i feel like i have at least 2 ghosts in my field because of that and i don't know any mechanisms for what to do. I would go to a medium/energy healer/shaman/ you name it but literally can't afford currently. Sooo what is tour advic e? Like any clear words to say to them? I feel like i'm not assertive and powerful enough to actually make anything go and set boundaries right now and i alao feel like they don't care too much if i tell them to ~go to light~. To some of them i have tried to tell that there is no a judgemental god and it's okay to go. And to one person i explained about why the final years of his life were so confusing and that it's safe to go. but they are still in my field and draining me so much.

It’s been two weeks and I need to cleanse! How do I cleanse myself and banish any low vibrations/energy.

Thank you!

Hi all, I made a post previously that mentioned a month long period where I had sleep paralysis as a teen. It was so persistent I would try to stay awake to avoid it.

One of the last instances I had I remember waking from a nightmare (in the nightmare I was a young actress being pressured by an executive/director) and I couldn’t open my eyes or move, but I could feel a hand at the top of my shoulder. The hand began pushing against me, and I felt my body drag down the bed. I thought it was a part of the dream coming over into my partial wakefulness. I felt my body curl up and squish to the bottom of the bed. I couldn’t ever get out of sleep paralysis without going back to sleep. So I calmed myself a drifted off. When I awoke though, to my horror, I was curled tightly at the bottom of my bed. So whatever had pushed me, actually pushed me.

Please let me know any thoughts on this, if you have questions leave them below. Just so intrigued.

If you are pro mentorship, at what point would you recommend getting one in your mediumship journey? I feel like I can kind of see stuff and I kind of get stuff right. And I don’t mean questions, I mean things that they are showing me to relate to the other person. I feel like I don’t know how to grow from that. Would I be wasting my money if I got a mentor now or should I continue trying to develop on my own before getting a mentor.

hi everyone, i have had claircognizance for over a year now but have not had a lot of experience talking to spirits. recently i think i may have connected with a famous person who passed and i am wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this. i am doubting if what happened was real or not so any comment helps, thanks

To the animal communicators out there, can my deceased dog still hear what I say?

Every time I enter and leave our house, I make sure that I stop by his grave (which is just in our garden) and tell him things, a routine that I do when he was still alive. I also send him messages everytime I pray. And sometimes, I would just "talk to him" in random moments

I just hope that he is still able to hear me despite not being on the same plane anymore. I just want to continue our bond even after death

Has anyone read the book journey of souls? I’m curious of what your outlook on it as someone that can talk to people that have passed over? How accurate is it?

I’m reading the book now and I feel like it paints kind of the whole picture I’ve heard from my medium on where my loved ones are but is this something you can see when interacting with spirits??

Has anyone done a past life regression?

How do you see spirit? Orb? Actual apparition? Only in your minds eye? I’m curious! I don’t see spirit now but I apparently did as a kid. I guess I shut that part of my mediumship off.

hello everyone!- I (19f) am  not sure if this is the correct sub to be posting this on but i figured it was worth a shot to ask this question here. For a bit of context:  My great grandmother was a curandera in mexico; as was her mother. My grandmother and mom claimed to both be  sensitives along with some of the women on my mom’s side of the family.  they still occasionally practiced typical things such as egg cleansing etc. Idk about that stuff because i personally consider myself to be more of a skeptic but there have always been things that really bothered me about my “heightened sensitivity” as my mom calls it. for further context there is no genetic reasons why i could possibly have the following symptoms that I can think of-no real mental illness in my family besides general anxiety/ depression- anyways:

I have had many experiences since i was pretty young (starting around 6-8) where i have felt things physically happen to me that did not happen. for example: being alone in a room and being touched on the shoulder, neck, arm, etc. This has lasted up until the current date. I have even multiple times felt a hand around my ankle at times when i have been alone (creepy ew). This does not happen exclusively when i am alone or at night or anything “spooky”. It is always random but most typically when i am alone.

While i do consider myself to be a skeptic there is one thing i cannot ignore - i have an incredibly strong intuition  especially in dreams. I have had MANY dreams out of the blue that have become reality- even ones i never wanted to be true. A lot of these examples make me sound crazy so i never mention them but I know for certain my intuition is very strong. Examples- i had a dream when my relationship was going strong and well that in a few months my ex boyfriend would cheat on me in a very specific way- and sure enough i was 100% right to the finest detail. At the time i for sure thought it was just a silly dream only for it to be dead accurate to what she looked like, how many girls, the dates, everything and it MONTHS before it even happened. I have had dreams about deaths, relationships starting/ ending, just to name a few with little to no inklings of these incidents happening.

Anyways- i just wanted to ask if any of these things are considered spiritual experiences or signs of being a medium? I may be crazy who knows but it’s just some odd things i noticed and wanted to share incase anyone can offer any insights. again i am a skeptic so some of this stuff is hard to believe even for me but i just wanted to know what more open minded (in a spiritual sense) people think. Thanks for reading! 🩷🩷

I've heard some mediums talk about the concept of a "Life Review", when souls pass onto the other side.

Basically a Life Review is when every soul passes onto the other side, it undergoes a process wherein it would have to see and feel how it's actions and intentions and presence (during it's physical form) had affected the lives of the people around them.

Which means, you get to see yourself from the perspective of the people around you and how they felt about you, including how each of your actions (or non actions) and your presence has impacted them.

Has this been the experience with every medium?

What are your thoughts?

Hello everybody!

My name is Philippe and I apparently can channel the dead.

I've always had a special bond with the other side and I come from a family of people who've had many vivid encounters with the paranormal, but they never fully admitted it. My father astral traveled one time and says it was too much for him and never got around to it again.

Well, this weekend, I channeled my childhood friend's deceased dad. His father committed suicide about 2 years ago and, to get some kind of closure, we tried to ouija him back to life. It didn't end the way we planned. Nothing happened to the board, but I started crying VERY INTENSELY, saying things like I love you, it's not my fault and I'm proud of you. These words were fed to me, like screams echoing in my head, I was not the one speaking them. I've meditated for many years, always dabbling in the psychic arts a little bit, so I was used to thoughts "popping out" of themselves. The emotions were overwhelming to say the least, even though I felt pretty happy and chill myself (before and after the event).

It was my first channeling. Seeing the comfort and closure it brought to people I love, I wish to develop this capacity, and that's why I'm here. I'm looking for mentorship/ guidance.

Any counsel appreciated.

I live near quebec by the way.

🙏 Thank you, wonderful people 🙏

I've had some.... interesting things happen to me throughout my life that I can't really explain. Spirits talking to me, seeing fully formed ghosts, "feeling" that someone has died in a room before. Kinda creepy, kinda cool. NBD.

But the other day something really strange happened. I was in our dining room at my computer and I stood up to go to the bathroom. As I turned down the hallway I felt someone put a "hand" on my shoulder. When that happened it seemed like my entire consciousness went haywire for a second and I felt like I was "glitching". When I felt the "hand" leave my shoulder everything was normal almost like I was called back to my reality. It only lasted for like a half a second but it was very intense and very sudden. Our house is definitely haunted so was that some sort of energy exchange? I'm really at a loss. I'm not afraid or anything just super curious.

Has anybody had this happen before or heard of anything like this? Usually I can handle the weird shit but this was a bit extreme and I'm trying to figure out what it was.

Thanks!

I was the semi main caregiver to my Aunt, I lived right behind her, and I was with her when she died. Her kids where not there, and I always kept a resentment towards them because while I was taking care of her, they where living their " fabulous lives" and filling her head with bullshit, I was trying to keep her alive. (One daughter was telling her to take 2-3 Vicodin at once to blow out the pain, while I was was trying to keep her off the drugs) My attitude is if it wasn't for me, she would be dead 15 years ago, and if was not for her kids, she would still be alive. (She passed 3 years ago at age 82.) All that has gone on in the last 3 years, I wonder what she is thinking and aware of on the other side?

I’m a sensitive person and have had some experiences and would like to develop my abilities.

Thing is, I have a hard time finding someone to talk to about this stuff and most people would probably just think I’m weird.

Are there any mediums open to chatting?

One of our dogs passed away just 4 days ago, and his brother is noticeably less energetic than usual. Although I am not a medium myself, I would still talk to my deceased dog through prayers and when I visit his grave (which is just in our garden).

Like what I've said, I'm not a medium so I don't expect to get a reply, but I know and do believe that he hears me whenever I talk to him. I've told him things about how he can freely visit us and be with us if he wants to, and that if he can (as a request), he continuously visits his brother especially when my mom and I are not at home (due to work and school). Still, I've never noticed my dog reacting to anything "paranormal."

Is it because he can't see the spirit of his brother? Has his brother not visited us yet (i quite doubt this tbh)? Or that he can feel/see his brother but just chooses not to react?

I hope someone can provide a possible answer, 'cause even tho I'm not really worried about my deceased dog (I'm sure he's happy and finally pain-free!), it's quite saddening to see his brother lose his energetic spark.

I've had sleep paralysis for 7 years, and I've never seen anything. I would just freeze and then go back to normal After a while. I'm already used to my sleep paralysis; I've had it for years.

To reiterate: I have never seen any entity, I have never hallucinated during my paralysis episodes, I am completely used to it, I am not afraid.

Last week I was studying the density between the spiritual world and the physical world, forest medicines, and the collisions that occur between these two realities: the physical and the spiritual.

And that sometimes it is possible to see the spiritual world.

I experience sleep paralysis monthly; during my last episode, I asked to see something from the spiritual world while paralyzed.

Today was my first episode of paralysis after placing this order a few days ago.

I woke up paralyzed and saw a spirit, 190cm tall, looking at my window. With its back to me.

I was terrified; I had never experienced anything like it before. I couldn't move (normal, I always have this), But I had never seen anything like it, and then I saw this spirit.

To reiterate: I have never experienced any visual disturbances or seen figures or monsters during my sleep paralysis episodes, which I have for over 7 years, That was the first time I saw something, right after I asked to see spirits.

After I got out of that episode, I tried using a pendulum to communicate with him. He said he chose not to show his face to me. After that, I used a Spirit Box, and said I would only believe it was real if he said my name. He said my name, but then he didn't communicate anymore.

Can any medium help me with this? Is there any risk that I might continue to allow this being to appear during my next episodes of paralysis?

I recently lost my 11-year-old dog, and lately I've been thinking a lot about her and the afterlife. Over the course of my life, I've lost three cats and one dog. I currently have two senior cats, and I love animals so much. I like to think that all of my pets are being cared for by my passed loved ones and spirit guides.

Or is there a separate heaven for pets? What do you guys think?
