Ghost Stories Continued…
Ready for a few more ghostly tales?
As many of you know by now, energies find their way to me no matter where I am or what I’m doing. When I first stepped into my gifts, fully embracing them and learning how I could help others with my abilities, I would have ghosts upon ghosts, energies stuck on this earthly plane, coming in and out of my house, needing my attention at all hours of the day. Because I still had to operate as a functioning human, I knew I needed boundaries, I knew I couldn’t live with such constant disruptions. It wasn’t helping anyone if I was overwhelmed every second of the day, you know? I have now created ‘office hours’ so to speak, where there are certain times and places that energies can interact with me.
It’s all a reminder that you have the power and you CAN absolutely tell a spirit to leave if they are disrespecting you in any way.
Sometimes, they still find their way through to me, anyway. Often, I would sit down on the couch and notice as a ghost energy would sit down next to me. One time I was watching a cooking show and then all of the sudden I’m smelling food that was not even in my house. It was quite interesting! The energy beside me was helping me experience new recipes that they themselves had likely once loved.
Another time, a man would peek around the corner at me as I turned on the TV, just watching, wanting my attention. He would disappear every time I would move from my seat so I left him there until one day he didn’t return again.
Another time I was upstairs getting ready and when I came down the stairs to make lunches for my girls, there was a friendly ghost woman already in my kitchen, ready to help out with the task. I was curious as to why she was so eager to help but she just assured me that assisting with these lunches would bring her great satisfaction.
Another morning, not long after, I was doing my hair in the bathroom after my shower and a woman appeared behind me in the mirror. While that could startle anyone, this woman, who boasted a lovely accent from the Bronx, was quite pleasant and began assisting me with my hair. I had to find a way to tell her I was just fine doing it myself…
It can be hard to know how to react when you encounter ghost energy. Now they hardly ever enter my home because I don’t allow it. There came a time when the disruptions became too much. This was after one of my Halloween parties where they would cause quite the ruckus to rile people up. Think loud noises, crashes, lights flickering, things moving etc. - all things I was used to, but some of my friends were definitely not. My friends from my neighbourhood and friends from my inner circle would come to enjoy the occasion with me and some would leave scared. Others were not so scared, knowing what was really going on – but either way I knew I had to implement some boundaries for my own peace of mind. And I really never wanted anyone to feel fearful in my home.
It took some time to get these boundaries firmly in place with spirit. I still had encounters from time to time.
There was one experience that I think about often as it was the first time my family got a glimpse inside what it’s like to be me on the daily. We were watching a movie as a family, with the girls gathered with us along with our dog, Jessie. Now Jessie usually did this thing where she sits patiently with her paw in the air, ready for a treat. As we watched the movie, Jessie ran over to the other side of the room and proceeded to sit for her treat. We all looked over and I could clearly see the ghost standing there right next to our dog. Jessie looked up at the ghost, waiting, and my whole family looked over and witnessed this, knowing there was an energy there, interacting with her. While Jessie soon realized and ran back, avoiding that corner of the room from that day forward, it was the first time my family got to see this in real time, like a glimpse into my world.
There have been many other instances of ghost energy interacting with me but these are the most notable ones as I write to you today. A few takeaways from my experiences are to not let fear get the better of you (these were simply people who once lived and had families etc.), to create boundaries to protect your own peace of mind, and to be intentional on what kinds of energies you do want to interact with in the moments that you do. You can say no thank you to anything negative.
If you have any questions about these kinds of experiences, send me a message or book a session with me. If you have any of your own ghostly tales to share, I’d love to hear them in the comments!
Happy October!
