The Phantom Phone

This story took place when I was very small and, has been retold to me. something happened to me during my very early childhood, I must have been about the age of four, so even though I do not recall this specific event myself  I do recall several others from the house from I grew older. Now my Grandparents were some of the few that had not installed a phone in their house yet and the house were already back then ancient and well known in the area for its high amount of paranormal activity.

This all started in the afternoon, while two elderly ladies from the neighborhood were visiting drinking their cup of coffee with myself, and my grandmother present as she happened to be baby sitting me for the evening while my parents were away for work. All of a sudden we would all hear the loud and clear sound of a phone ringing, my grandmother grabbed my hand and the two of us walked over to the part of the house the sound was coming from, the phone kept ringing and ringing and we walked outside towards the household workshop where the sound became even louder.

Now I looked up at my grandmother and told her not to be scared, it was just the spirit of the house, bringing message that they too were looking forward to watch as the house got a phone installed so all of the family could talk. With this my grandmother settled and we returned back to the two elderly ladies that still were present drinking the coffee in the kitchen.

They both turned towards my grandmother and wondered if she had figured out what the ringing sound was all about, I looked up at them and said loud and clear it was just the spirit of the house, saying we should have a phone. Spirits have their own way of letting us know what they want in this house. they let us know in different ways when they are happy or not and what they want. With this the two elderly ladies rushed down the last of their coffee, and hurried back home, they did not want to stay one moment longer in the house, they had heard it was haunted but had not put too much credence into the myth of our family home being haunted. Now they knew for sure.

I must add that several of my grandmothers family members had been wishing for them to add a phone to the house so they could talk, since they were living far away. This seemed to be the way of the House showing its own way of the phone. Sometimes the energies of a place can manifest itself to make the wishes of those that dwell there come true, and this must been one of those times.

Guided by Lydia, the Spirit of My Great-Grandmother

Illustration by PJ Science in Tromsø 2007

I have always had a keen ability to know things about plants, just as explained in the entry Plant Affinity, more specifically I think I partially inherited my plant Affinity from my own great-grandmother Lydia, the other half of my skill and uncanny knowledge of herbal lore I know come directly from interacting with my great-grandmother that guide and watch over me.

I have never known my great-grandmother since she passed away before I was even born, but like me she was a psychic, a scholar of her time in all sorts of plants and medicinal uses there of. Lydia was also known for her strong will and for being way ahead of her time in many things.

Long ago my great-grandmother Lydia told my mother Siw, who was still only a young girl, that she would have a child that would have a future in research and plants like her. Lydia was so certain that I had a great destiny ahead, that she set up a trust-fund, with some money to be released when I turned 18, and also told my parents that she wanted for me to inherit all her money when she passed away, and that it was already set up to place all her money into the trust-fund.

Just like she had foreseen I went into science, doing research on plants, unfolding the mysteries of genetics, I do believe she saw something and went ahead with that hunch. The money from the trust combined with the inheritance has made it possible for me to pursue research of plant genetics and biochemistry.

The strongest example I have of how I felt great-grandmother Lydia helping me was a few years ago when I almost died, and my life literally flashed before my eyes (read: When My Life Flashed Before My Eyes ) aiding me in finding out what I needed in order to help myself get better.

My Daughter, A Paranormal Magnet

this story is from Otterbeme

My daughter has been a magnet for all kinds of paranormal experiences through the years.  The first time I was aware of anything different about her was when she was in first grade.  We were living in a rural area around Cochran, Pennsylvania. There were very few houses around us, mostly fields.  Right after we moved into the trailer, I noticed that my collection of knick knacks kept being moved around the house during the night.

I would wake up and find them in different places through out the living room and dining area. I blamed my daughter and asked her not to play with them, some of them were antique and I didn't want them broken.  She denied moving them, but she was the only one in the trailer with me, except for my partner, and he worked nights.

This went on for a few months and I actually punished her for this, grounding her to her room for a few hours at a time.  She insisted that she hadn't moved them and there was someone in the house at night.  I thought she was making it up, or at least was not going to admit to moving them because she enjoyed playing with them and looking at them when I was with her.

One night I was coming out of the bathroom and started towards the kitchen area, it was raining and seemed much cooler in the hallway as I went towards her room.  As I went past her room, her door slammed shut.  I reached for it and tried to open it.  The door would not open, I became very frightened and called out to her to open the door.

She was crying and telling me she wasn't holding the door.  After a few seconds I was able to pull the door open and found her crying on the bed.  "I told you someone is here," she sobbed.  I looked around but couldn't see anyone and searched the trailer as well.

That night my daughter slept with me and when we woke up the knick knacks had been re-arranged again.  I asked her to tell me about what she saw at night, all she could say was she saw shadows but they were nice.  She thought the door got stuck because I wouldn't believe her about the knick knacks.  After that, I believed that she wasn't moving my things around.  We lived in the trailer for a few more months and I accepted that something was moving things around, but they didn't seem to be hostile, just mischievous.  Since then I've learned about poltergeists and figured that is what it was.

A Story about Guardian Angels, Guardian Cats and Spirit family Members

A stray cat returned as a reincarnated "Familiar"

I have an experience I want to share, as I would really like your opinion. We had a party for a lady who is a friend of a friend, and at the end of the night it was just the four of us. We got into a conversation of the paranormal and Wicca was brought up somehow, and I shared the fact that I had my doubts in it. This woman then told me she could read me, told me I was very open and I had an ability myself if I would pay attention to it. I still thought she was full of it at this point, then as she started telling me about people she could see around me such as guardian angels, elaborated on them and spelt out to a "t" some of my relatives. Even my cat who I guess was my "familiar"? had come back reincarnated as a stray cat that my mother ended up making me give away, those cats looked very similar. Another thing she wouldn't have known.

Then she told me she sensed that I have constant pains in my legs and knees which I do. Now the creepy part begins. I have a 16 month old son, 4 days earlier, I was talking with my grandmother who lives with us about how we thought my son have an imaginary friend because he always played with and talked to himself in odd ways sometimes. I've woken up in the middle of the night hearing things in his room and looked and nothing is there. My best friend slept over one time, I fell asleep, she couldn't sleep and she said she heard my son wake up and start talking and it sounded like someone was in his room so she peeked but no one was in there. My fiancé has said he has heard the same thing, while my son is alone in his room. We have a baby monitor but we also have thin walls and our room is right next to his so it’s not just noise coming in from the monitor.

Now with that being explained, this woman knew nothing about my son or these feelings and incidents we had about him. She then told me that she knew I had a child before my son, that I miscarried and it was a girl. She told me she is about 3 years old now (which I'm slightly confused on how she could have aged I thought spirits didn't age) she told me that she is always around me and I know it, I just brush it off, which I do often have feelings someone is around me but I felt it was just paranoia. She then tells me that my daughter wants me to play ball with her and that she plays and talks to my son all the time. Now I was unaware of this pregnancy or miscarriage, but the time frame and the man she described fit into a certain time in my life. I remember I had started having severe bleeding problems for no reason and had to have an emergency dnc to stop my bleeding, which this woman believes was my incomplete miscarriage. She says my daughter will not go see her father though because she is uneasy around him which I believe is because he has a daughter who is almost 3 now. This woman and my grandmother told me I need to focus on her and talk to her, and tell her to go into the light, but I'm still confused on how she aged into a 3 year old girl, and if I should be concerned about my son.

He always seems happy when he is playing with what I thought was an imaginary friend, but sometime he wakes up at night and doesn't want to go back in his crib like he is scared or wakes up from naps really scared which I know could be nightmares but now knowing this, I'm starting to think otherwise. She's not just any child....... she is my child and I'm a little scared she may be jealous of him or something like that and her intentions may not be always good. It’s also very unsettling to think my son is sitting in my living room playing with the spirit of my daughter I never knew existed. Should I be concerned about her and try to get her to the light and at peace? or should I think her intentions are pure and let her have some of the childhood playing with my son that she's never got to have?

Ghost of my dead younger Brother

I have had many paranormal experiences during my life. I am not a pro at it, It comes to me when it wants to do so and not when I may want it too. Also, there are different ways it may come to me. I may get a message  by way of a dream or, I may be totally awake and a still photo of some sort might pop in my mind. I have been visited and talked to a very good friend two years after he died. (Talking with a dead friend)
Years later, I had a surprise visit from my mother five years after she died (Sightings of deceased family members). Then around the same time, I had just been to the doctor and the doctor had told me he felt I might have a certain type of cancer and he had ordered a test at the hospital.

The afternoon after I had the test and was awaiting the results, I was standing out on my porch. I heard a noise and looked up and there was a young man standing across the street. I saw him and he could talk but as I looked at him I could see through him. I was confused and a little upset because I recognized him. It was my younger brother who died as a child many years ago. I could tell it was him in the apparition form. He waved at me and said hello to me and he told me he was here to let me know that all would be OK and that I would be OK.

That is not the first time I have seen my little brother, you all might think I am crazy but I assure you he has visited me in the past before, the first time was when I was living in San Francisco. Strange as it might sound when I spotted this young guy across the street I knew it was my own little brother looking back at me. He just stood there and looked and that was all.

A Fatal Flight

Actual Photo of the retrieved parts of the plane that crashed outside of Mehamn, Norway

As mentioned in my earlier post One Scary Flight: Detroit - Amsterdam "I have always had a special connection with flights, and have always seen them in details from start to end". Unlike that event which was recent, the story I am sharing now was my first time that I remember of receiving a flash of information about a flight, when I realized that I actually was able to see things to come. A story still shrouded with mystery, when a plane crashed with a still unidentified flying object in the sea outside of Berlevåg and Mehamn in Northern Norway.

I was just a kid back then, my mother had just been with me to the hospital in Tromsø to have my tonsils removed, and we were now on our way back to Vadsø, and had just landed in Hammerfest. Our next flight was a small propel plane, I had been on those before many times already on this very same route, since it was a common route when flying from Tromsø to Vadsø. Involving multiple airports and short flights between those, I always loved the feeling of flight, both landings, take-of and watching the world below. But this time when I asked my mother to see the tickets and she handed them to me, I held them briefly, looked at her and asked if we could take another flight home. I remember I felt quite uneasy about this flight and as we walked up to the reception desk I remember telling my mother again that I didn't think we should be on this plane, she didn't say too much but went ahead asking the receptionist lady if there was another flight that would take us from Hammerfest to Vadsø this day. When she responded that there was one direct flight available and we would only need to wait another 30 minutes extra I felt really relived, and keenly asked my mother if we could take that one instead, and that I wanted to use the extra time to see more of the current airport.

Time passed quickly and we got home to Vadsø even before the original multiple landing flight we were supposed to be on would have reached our final destination. Later that evening I remember watching the news with the rest of my family, and they were reporting that the very plane we would had been on had crashed in the sea, with no surviving passengers or crew. This was the moment I realized that I could actually make a difference and even change the life of those around me, it scared me, but at the same time I felt happy that I had saved my mother, and sad that the others did not make it since they did go on the flight I felt so uneasy about.

The information of this flight has never been unclassified, there was some speculations that the crash was caused by a military plane from the British air force that happened to be in Norwegian airspace at the time. and this is the reason why it is kept classified to this day, some would even go so far to say that it was an alien UFO.

Pregnancy Precognitions

Illustration from the body first Pregnancy site:

http://www.bodyfirst.com/pregnancy.html

Hello everybody this is Nina, since I send in so many stories, I have been given guest account access. Anyway back to topic I have always had this special connection with pregnancies, I know when someone is pregnant even if I have not met them in a decade, or even across the Globe.

Back a few years ago one of my associate professors in Tromsø, Norway, was pregnant, and while holding our Friday lecture, she was excitingly telling us that she would give birth in about 4 weeks, and how everything was going so well with her baby, at that instant I looked at her and got this feeling, no he won't he is going to be born before the end of this weekend she never told us the sex of the baby either, then on Monday we got a surprise substitute teacher in because she had to be rushed to the hospital, the Saturday evening, and gave birth to the healthy baby boy Sunday morning.

Another time some friends of mine were having a baby birth raffle, and they wanted me to pick out a date on the calender too, this was 3 months before her estimated date for her pregnancy, after some time I finally went ahead and picked the date, 21st of April, which was about 3 week too early according to the estimates. Not surprisingly thats the date her baby boy was born.

The last of my many pregnancy precognitions that I going to share with you happened about 5 years ago. Out of the blue I got this feeling that my cousin in Sweden was pregnant, she has always been somewhat of a psychic too so when I got a email from her asking if I was doing OK (I was sick) I replied asking how the pregnancy was coming along, in her reply I got confirmed that indeed she was pregnant, the doctor had just confirmed it to her the day before, and that she had not even told her boyfriend about it yet.

Hero, the faithful dog

This is a story from Petter in Norway.
This is a recap of what happened after my black Labrador, Hero, died when he was 11 years old, and it spans over a period of 10 years. I have always been very skeptical and have never believed in reincarnation, but sometimes one would wonder.

In life Hero was a very normal black Labrador retriever and he used to follow me everywhere, faithfully having a daily chore of escorting me to my school bus, and waiting until It picked me up, He would make sure I was protected where ever I'd go. Then about 1 year after he died of old age, one of our cats gave birth to a female black kitten. In all our years this was the only time any of our many farm cats got a black kitten. Jokingly we remarked hey she looks a bit like Hero, she even have his white flag shaped spot on her chest. We named the kitten Euphra and she was always a bit odd, I never heard her meow and she would run not like any of our other cats, and we often said jokingly she must be a reincarnation of Hero, since her behavior was more like a dog than a cat, but still always considered this to be more a coincidence than anything else. (see Petter's other post in this blog about coincidences)

 

A few years later Euphra passed away and I moved to Tromsø to study, I always walked a lot, and during the first year I often saw this one kid about 7 or 8 years old playing along in this one part I passed while walking to or from the University. Then one day the kid stopped me and asked where my dog was, he insisted he had seen me walk by with my dog almost every day now for over a year. I told him he must be mistaken since I did not have any dogs, though I do walk by almost every day. The kid was very persistent and continued telling me what the dog looked like even describing the unique flag shaped white spot on his chest, a perfect description of Hero my old dog from years earlier. It does make you wonder if there really are something more, and if so it seemed my old dog Hero was still with me even 10 years after he passed away.

The Three Year Old Miracle

This in from Josh in NYC

I had a friend who got married to a really nice girl. She was a sweet as can be the only thing about this girl was, sometimes she would get real quiet and go some where to be by herself. When asked why she does this, her reply would always be that she would get a feeling of doom or tragedy and she went to be by herself so she could try to figure out what was going to happen. Sometimes she could figure it out and sometimes she couldn't.

I understood that myself because I knew that when people get these premonitions and because most of these people are not trained enough to bring the whole scope of what is about to happen they, just get bits and pieces and they can not get the missing pieces of the puzzle. Now that does not mean these people do not have the gift. It simply means that they have not been trained enough to use their gift completely.

After about a year of marriage Josh and his wife Julie had a baby boy. The baby was named after his father. Little Josh was God's gift to his parents and believe it or not, little Josh also had a gift for the world.

When little Josh was 3 years old he started to act a bit strange at times. By strange I mean for apparently no reason at all. he would start to scream and cry and run to his Mother of Dad and clutch their clothes and hang on for dear life, all the time crying and screaming. Little Josh could never seem to say why he was screaming and crying or why he seemed so terrified . After seeing a whole host of doctors and having almost every medical test done on the child. It was determined that it was a behavioral issue and that little Josh would hopefully grow out of it

Julie started to notice things such as when little josh would act out like this,,he would cry himself to sleep and that within an our after wards, there would somewhere close by be a tragedy taking place. Examples of this would be, One time when little Josh would act out within an hour of his crying and screaming the neighbor's house burned down and a lady perished in the fire. Another time a school bus full of children git stuck on the rail road tracks and the bus was hit by the train. Most of the children got off the bus safely but, a few didn't get off in time and were killed. the list go's on and on.

Julie decided to have Little Josh tested for physic abilities and I am sure you all guessed it he has very good physic abilities. Josh is now 8 years old and he is being trained to sharpen and broaden his physic skills.

Nana is Watching Over Us

Sky "angel" photo taken by Jonina Oskarsdottir

This is another story from Cathy in Gettysburg, PA

When my granddaughter was around 1 year old, I was feeding her as she sat in her highchair. She looked around me and very clearly, said "Hi Nana" as she waved. I turned around and said, "Hi Mom!" as I knew my Mom was there. She had passed away 5 years earlier and my granddaughter had not met her in life, but I knew she met and knew her spirit.

A year or so later, I was holding another granddaughter, around 1 yr old, looking at some pictures on the wall. She pointed to a picture of my Mom and said "Nana". Spooky? Not at all. I firmly believe my Mom is here watching over us and visiting the babies.

As babies, the girls (independently) would be jibber jabbering to someone and if you asked them who they were talking to they'd say Nana. Stuff like that. It was very evident that Nana was around. This was definitely a baby/toddler thing as they rarely talk of her anymore.

They are now 8 and 10. It was always comforting to me that she was watching over them (and still is, no doubt!). I think that the older you get and the more innocence lost, it becomes harder or they have more things on their minds (but "Nana" is in the background.) Do you understand what I am trying to say? A lot of older kids wouldn't want to talk about something like that, you know? It would embarrass them of make them feel weird or something. I admit I have not asked the kids about her. I feel the memory is with each of them to treasure always.

I Love You Nana

This one was sent to me by Cathy In Gettysburg, PA. Great post Cathy!

I lost my beloved "Nana" when I was 10 years old. I loved and missed her so much. I also lost my baby brother, Timmy when I was 7 due to crib death. About 6 months after my "Nana's" passing, I was walking to school one day on a clear brisk autum morning and up ahead of me I saw a woman who looked like my Nana from the back, pushing an old fashion baby carriage. I called out to her and she turned around and said to me, "Cathy, I am with Timmy now. I love you! I started to cry because I missed her so much and I wanted her to hold me again." I started to run to her and she disappeared. I ran home crying and my Mom told me that Nana came to tell me she is ok and still loves me and that she is with Timmy.

This has got to be my favorite childhood memory. Afterwards, when I calmed down, I silently thanked my Nana for coming back to me and a kind of peace settled over me. My Dad said it was just my missing her, but I know I saw her and I know she spoke to me. So, since the age of ten I have known that there is life after death, and Angels and spirits do exist. There is no doubt in my mind. This happened 40plus years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday!

Growing-up as a Psychic

Here is another contribution from Nina in Tromsø, Norway

I think that I have always been psychic, I used to know things that no one told me, like when I was about 4 years old, I shocked my parents by telling them that I felt really sorry for our neighbor Astrid, then when they asked why I told them that she was dying. They got even more shocked when they went over to see Astrid and she told them she was dying of cancer. Then when they asked me how I knew I would simply reply, "I just know". I do not remember this one myself, but it was one of the earliest cases of the paranormal that my parents experienced from me, and they made sure that the early stories got retold as I grew up.

One of the earliest recollections that I actually remember myself happened back in my grandparents house, I was about 5 years old and the house has always been haunted by the earlier generations of our family, all the way back to my great great grandparents. This one time the spirits were especially restless, turning on and off lights, footsteps and knocking. I stood there in the middle of the kitchen were the most commotion was and said loud and clear to all the others present. "There is nothing to worry about, these are just the spirits of the house letting us all know they are here, and that they are here watching over us".

Since things like this always happened to me it is one of the most natural parts of my being, and I am used to getting bits and pieces of information from objects or when giving someone a handshake, though I do not share this fact with most people, since one could quickly be marked as insane by those that do not understand, believe or those that even think that psychic abilities are of the devil.

Personally I believe that any abilities psychic or normal ones could be used for good or evil, so the abilities them-self does not make one in league with the evils of the world. I have also learned that people from Finnmark, especially those that are full or part sami like me seem to be much more willing to believe in paranormal phenomena's than those from Tromsø or farther south in Norway.

I have never been able to control my ability other than one could choose to be open and prepared for the flash of information and thereby catch more of it or one could choose to block it thereby only getting very tiny fragments. Strong emotions are pretty much impossible to block and some people would literally blow your mind out with their own total chaos in their emotional state of mind.

Coincidences - Umbrellas and Cars

Thank you Petter, for this entry. The nature of coincidences and for the related phenomena of synchronicity is that they could be one of many just likely and unlikely outcomes in any given situation. By this fact one would be destined to experience a few totally unlikely outcomes in a few cases in ones lifetime while most outcomes are mundane and will be quickly forgotten, the rare, bizarre and mind-boggling ones would always be remembered and if fantastic enough spread like a viral network, even possible growing into the realm of legends.

I will here mention a few coincidences that I have experienced, two of them minor and one which might have been the difference between life and death.

My first example of coincidences happened in 2002 one sunny calm summer day while walking to University in Tromsø, Norway I spotted a black umbrella sticking out of a bush, I picked it up and checked if it was in good condition by opening it, I found it to be in perfect condition, then while holding it up it started poring down rain, I completed my walk to the University and avoided getting soaked.

The second example I am sharing is also involving me walking to a university, but this time in Honolulu, Hawaii back in 2006, I had my umbrella with me, and even-though it was sunny and not a cloud on the sky I opened the umbrella and put it over my head, to my surprise some birds that I had not even noticed released their payloads of muck, not one but the whole flock, naturally I threw away the umbrella in the nearest garbage bin.

My third example is the most compelling not because it is unlikely but because it was a coincidence of life or death. This happened to me in January 2005, it was my very first week in Honolulu, Hawaii, and I was walking with Gary to a computer store to get a American power-cord for my laptop computer. There out of the blue a car with a male driver lost control in the traffic and turned straight in my direction of the sidewalk, on my left side was a sign and on my right side was a massive brick wall, The driver had a little baby in the front seat and it had taken away his attention from his driving making him crash right into the sign, pretty much making a wreck of both the car and the sign, leaving me totally untouched, just a slightly startled. One could call it a stroke of luck, divine intervention or coincidence, either way I was safe and the driver left in panic, some other people came over and asked if I was alright, and it took quite a while before Gary stopped shaking.

I have experienced countless other coincidences during my life, but I will not bore you with them all.

Grandmother and Grandchild

This story is aslo avaliable in Norwegian (trykk for Bestemor og Barnebarn)

One of the most intriguing accounts of a ghost or spirit came from a lady I worked with several years ago. What made her account of what she thought was her mother-in law's spirit was the fact that this very well educated and religious lady did not believe in any kind of paranormal situation at all.

To her, when you died your spirit left your body and went straight to heaven and that was that. Now, this woman had a huge heart and showed kindness to everyone and she was not judgmental of others at all. She just did not believe in spirits, ghosts or anything along those lines.

One day at work she asked to talk to me alone. When we went outside to talk she looked white as snow and her story began. She had a sister in law who was about to give birth. The sister- in - law was giving birth at home with the help of a mid wife due to the fact that the pregnant girls mother was dying from cancer and was bed ridden at home. She wanted to give birth at home so the baby's grandmother might be able to see her grandchild before she passed on. Well try as she did, she didn't make it and the poor woman died exactly one hour before her grandchild was born. So as you can guess the baby was born an hour after the woman's death. However, something strange happened next. After the midwife got the baby all cleaned up and did all the things a mid wife does in a birth situation, they put the new born baby in it's bassinet. Everyone who was there at the time of the birth was in the room where the bassinet was.

The lady that I worked with was there she looked up and saw a purple haze come from the far corner of the ceiling and it as she put it, the purple haze just floated around the room and got above the baby's bassinet and just stayed there for two or three minutes and then it moved away and went back to the corner of the celling and disappeared and was never seen again. This woman asked me if I thought it could have been the grandmother of the baby seeing the baby one time before she had to go. Knowing that the grand mother really wanted to see that baby before she died and that her body just gave up and she did die before the baby was born, I was almost positive that is what had taken place. She just smiled and went back to work and later that day she told me that was now a believer in the after life.
