I think I have an unseen housemate

I have always believed in the paranormal & when I first moved into this house 2 years ago, everything was fine...it's only been since I have started packing up the house that things have started to happen... I always thought it was my over active imagination after I had watched shows like ghost hunters & ghost adventures, etc but little things happen when I haven't been watching them like I will go to go out my front door to find it's been locked & I haven't locked it - nor has my 4 year old daughter & it has happened during the day when she has been at kindy too. One day when both my daughter & I were going to walk up to the shop, we had only walked out to the footpath when I realized I had forgotten something & had to go back inside - the door was locked! I don't tend to lock the door when I go out - who is going to enter a house that has 2 staffies in it? Now that it's getting closer to my moving date, my eye seem to be playing tricks as I keep seeing things out the corner of my eye like just before, it looked like a cat I grew up with running in my lounge room...she passed away in 1996! Do you believe in the paranormal? What do you think about this?

Your 'housemate' is trying to catch your attention because it may need your help. I am a Medium, and before I left my last house strange things started to happen. One of my earrings was knocked out of my hand and disappeared into thin air one night before bed. It turned up a year later when it dropped onto the floor in front of me! Other odd things started to happen and then I became aware of a presence watching me. To cut a long story short, my 'housemate' was a little girl who had passed away many years before, although spirits don't have any perception of Time. She was ready to go 'Home' at last and told me all about the things she loved in life, and finally, weeks later, she told me how she had passed. My Medium-friend and I helped her to cross over and she is now happy in The Spirit World. All houses have Spirits. We just don't notice them most of the time. The house I live in now has another little girl but she is shy and isn't ready to go yet. As I am thinking of moving again next year, she may make herself known to me just before I leave because she may be aware that the next owner may not be able to help her. Spirits are just people, who sometimes need our help. I suggest you contact a reputable Medium to help you. You did see your cat. Our pets in Spirit still love and watch over us. Blessings! In Love and Light

Wow! That's amazing that your earring dropped in front of you a year after it disappeared! It has been a long time since I saw my cat Soxie...I have been aware of my previous staffy Bundy that I lost to a snake bite in 2005...I hear him walk up to my bed sometimes & jump up but never fell or hear him land. I wish there was another way I could find out about my 'housemate' I do know that there is a medium in my area but with moving, I am trying to be really frugal with my money. It's amazing that sometimes spirits don't show themselves or make their presence known until something major in the house happens like a renovation or moving. Do you know if there is a way I can tune into the spirit world a bit more as I know I am a little sensitive to the paranormal & have known this since I was about 18 but have never known how to tune in more.

You have to be 'A Sensitive' to be able to experience these things, and you obviously are. Maybe you should think about developing your powers! I waited until I was 49! Is there a Spiritualist Church nearby? Here in the UK there is one in almost every district. I was just thinking that if there was one you might be able to get one of their experienced Mediums to do it for you for free. They are usually very kind people who connect to The Spirit World to help others and not for money. If they do charge a fee it will be nominal. When connecting to The Spirit World, Mediums ask for protection. There are 'undesirables' out there! They then ask their Guides and Angels to assist them, and often surround themselves in White Light, they just visualise it, and listen. In your case, I would not advise doing anything yourself. It takes a long time to be able to know and trust your Spiritual Helpers and to feel safe when in communication with other realms. Without actually connecting to The Spirit World, you could just talk to your 'housemate', asking questions about why they are doing these things, and then sit quietly, with no disturbances, and listen. They may want to communicate with you, but you will just have to accept it if they don't. Please let me know what happens in a private message. All the best!

As far as I am aware, there isn't a spiritualist church near me :( They aren't that well known here in Australia. I would love to develop my powers - I just don't know how. I do understand that there are undersirables out there...Last night when I was laying in bed, I said out loud to my housemate that if they need to talk to me or ask me for help, please do so before I move. I remember when I was in my early 20's & back living with my parents...I had fallen asleep in my bedroom & woke up with a start & my touch lamp coming on (my hand was a few inches away from it), I also woke up with an image of an old man who turned out to be my great grandfather (my mum's grandfather) & it was as if he was letting me know that he was watching over me...I had never met him as he passed away when my mum was 14 (she had me at 29)...I even described him down to how he walked & dressed. When I told my mum, she verified who he was as I had no clue & she wondered why he was looking out for me because apparently he was a cranky old man when he was alive! Hopefully after me talking to my housemate, he/she will talk to me before I move.

I also believe in such thing, although I havent really seen any. Have you tried to check if the door is still okay. I mean, there might only be a problem with the door lock. Maybe it should be replaced by a new one, see if this thing will still happen. about the cat, well... maybe you are so attached to her and suddenly misses her and thats why she suddenly shows up =)

The lock on my door is one you have to turn manually (in the centre of the door knob. & it's one you would remember you locked. I'm not sure about my cat as I haven't thought about her in a long time.

I do believe in those things. Perhaps they want to tell you something. I too have some personal experience on stuffs like that. When we transferred to this house we are living now, my 4 year old son told me that he saw a shadow walking in the house. I did not give it much thought since I was thinking that it was just and imagination by my son. Just a few years after, our househelp told me that she too, saw a shadow walking in the house. Funny thing is that I never told our househelp about what my child saw years ago. My child now is 8 years old. Well, just recently, I myself have seen this shadow walking.. Now, I am convince that someone extra ordinary is in our house. But I do not see any reason to be alarmed, after all, there is no harm done.

i think half the time they re reliving what they did when they were alive...I never heard anymore from my ghost before I moved & they must be attached to the house as I haven't had anything happen since I moved 3 weeks ago.

Spirits can be attached to a house, an object, or an individual. Sometimes it is difficult to work out which! As you are such a shining light to the world of spirit and attract them with your love, you can expect more 'unusual' things to happen to you from now on.

We moved to a new house this year and one day when my husband was in the bedroom a ghost appeared at the door between the hall and the bedroom (the door is usually open) He said that the ghost was dressed as a munk and that it moved from the door to a place between the bed the closet. My husband got the impression that the ghost wanted to show him something in the closet, but there is nothing there. We know that for sure because we moved the closet to another room while we were repairing the walls in the bedroom and there are no secrets behind the closet or in the closet as far as we know

Wow! I am glad I'm not the only one to experience things like that.

Most spirits don't want to frighten us, Quietgirl. They just want us to know they are there. They may need our help.

I have amswered a similar discussion before.Since over 15 years i very vividly see the figure of a man very clearly standing next to my bed and ver frequently too.The apparition is dressed in modern day clothes and i see it not just during the night but even in the afternoon.It never harms me and i don`t feel any fear.Sometimes if it does not appear for a long period of time then i miss it.Its now about a week since i haven`t seen it.I have also had other paranormal experiences, both good as well as bad.

I do remember you saying that a few times...so far, nothing has shown themselves to me so who knows what will happen before I move.

How interesting! I love things like this though I have never had an actual experience I have always believed in them. Just like with psychics I love readings. =) Back to your housemate I also have always thought spirits to be able to take on any form so that is why it might have resembled a cat you used to have. I do believe in the paranormal and one day I hope to have an experience. =)

As you know, I too love things like this...I haven't had too many experiences that I can remember...I know there was alot of experiences my mom & I had in the apartment where we lived as a baby but I can't remember them as I was only 22 months old when we moved from there. I too hope you have an experience one day (a good one though) I have missed you...how have you been?

it maybe nothing . it may be your cat letting you know that she is still with you and that she is ok. if nothing is missing or you havent seen her since then. maybe it could be you imagination sometimes

This is definitely a possibility...I don't think I have noticed anything missing as such, just other things being done like my front door locking itself when me or my daughter haven't done it.
