Friend was overtaken by a spirit

Question

October 19, 2009

so spirits are there,whats your take on this?

Its nice to hear from you and explore on that field

Answer

There is a difference between sensing an external spirit and being overtaken by spirits.

Some people claim to have seen and even communicated with ghosts or spirits. Some of those people may have a vivid imagination, although that is not discounting the possibility that spirits exist and that people may be able to sense their presence.

Many religions believe that people can be possessed with demons or evil spirits. Interestingly enough, none talk about being overtaken by good spirits. Why only evil?

Some Christian religions believe in "speaking in tongues" where person is overtake by a spirit and starts taking in another language. That usually happens during their church services.

It is difficult to know what happened with your friend. It may be possible that some sort of spirit has overtaken him.

Although I cannot explain it, I keep an open mind about things.

Think I am communicating with an imp spirit

Question

October 11, 2009

2 months ago i used a reading card. i thought i was talking to my guardian angel. then i felt some strong energy around me then i felt this penetrate me. for 24-7 i was being penetrated in my anal area and vagina. later i found out that it was actually an imp. he refuses to leave. i tried to forget about it and burned the card. it seemed that the energy and such died down. last night the energy sense came back very strong. now i don't know who it is. i'm not sure if it is Darin the imp or my guardian angel.

Answer

Some people believe that you can sense or detect the presence of spirits, such as ghosts, guardian angels and imps--which are like little demons. Others believe that such things are possible. But those who do detect spirits really feel what they are experiencing is true.

Just as in using other paranormal senses, you can control them in a round-about manner by trying to force them to happen. Try to force the imp to speak to you and see if you can resolve the issue.

Did I see the spirit of my friend's cat?

Question

July 13, 2009

Months ago, my best friend's beloved and well cared for cat got lost and was never seen again. But last night, I had a sleep over at her house and I thought I saw a faint figure in the shadows that looked like her lost cat. It jumped into the closet before I could call out to it. Did I sense its spirit?

- USA

18021

Answer

It is difficult to know what happened.

You could have been awoken and actually seen the cat's spirit. But probably others would also have had the experience in the house.

Since you may have thought about the cat, you could have had a dream about it that woke you up, such that you shadows that appeared to be like a cat.

Or, the spirit of the cat could have caused you to dream and see an apparition of some sort.

That is the problem. It is so hard to tell.

I think I see spirits

Question

April 20, 2009

I'm only 13 and i think i can see spirits. but its my first time. i don't want to talk to them yet but should i?

malcolm - USA

Answer

It is difficult to tell whether you're actually seeing spirits or if your imagination is playing tricks on you. One way to make them go away is to actually try to see them. For some reason, this has a negative effect on them.

Whether they are actually spirits or your imagination, the best thing to do is to try to make them go away. Trying to talk to them serves no purpose.

How can you tell exactly where a spirit is?

Question

November 2, 2008

OK so I have maybe a sixth sense. I'm 15 and still living through a childhood but I get the dreams at night that are my deja vu (premonitions) and in a sense I can sense when spirits are around..I can't tell where they are precisely but I can tell when they are around and their emotion. I was wondering if there was anyway I could tell where they were exactly

Mykia - USA

Answer

The essence of a spirit is probably like perfume in the air. You can smell it, but you can't tell exactly where it is and what its boundaries are. Plus, it is always moving.

Seeing things out of corner of his eyes

Question

August 24, 2008

For the last few years I've been seeing things, out of the corners of my eyes. I know they are people I can see them clearly enough to tell that, but I don't know them. I've seen them crawling across the ceiling or up the walls or even just standing there. If that wasn't enough I can hear them too not in my head but physically hear them sometimes I can almost make-out what they are saying. At night when I lay in bed I hear them moving around. And I almost always feel them watching me, staring at me. Just recently I learned that my dad has seen them too. Not to the degree that I have and he could never hear them or feel their presents. This can't be coincidence. I'm not afraid, I know what they are I just want to know what they want.

Answer

Often floaters in the eyes towards the edges can trigger the impression of seeing something out of the corners of the eyes. But if you are hearing things too, it could be something else.

Some people seem to have had experiences with spirits, but not all that many. On the other hand some have also had hallucinations and have seen and heard such things.

If your father has experienced the same thing, is it something you had inherited from him?

You have to make sure you are not imagining these things. Perhaps if you can get your father to join you when you see the images, you can compare notes on what you see and hear.

Friend claims to be able to see spirits

Question

July 19, 2008

I have a friend of friend of mine. he says he can see spirits and so on. He used to train for these senses and has said he had gotten up to the 7th one. He has stopped in the present cause on some occasions he has gotten powers to automatically see how their lives end or how they die. Since he is Chinese and so am i he has been studying under a Chinese circumstance to defend himself off from Chinese spirits, and that if he ran into a different background spirit he wouldn't know what to do other than use his aura, or energy to scare it off. And said Chinese spirits would feed off incense and by that i mean just lighting up the incense to nothing. for example if you have no altar and your lighting the incense to nothing it attracts spirits and they get stronger by it and there is different levels of spirits and the stronger they get the more abilities they have. For example a low class spirit isn't able to physically touch but a stronger one is ..and more. anyways i just want to know what you have to say about this. there is more but yeah reply back soon please and state if you believe or not. OH yeah Remember this is Chinese spirits it is different when you talk about other spirits

Answer

Since many people have experienced the 6th sense of being able to foresee the future, it is highly likely that such a sense exists. But it is difficult to control. You must try but not try.

As far as spirits go, not many people claim to have seen spirits or the aura of others. That is not to say that ability does not exist, but the case for it is not strong. I often wonder whether people who claim to see and converse with spirits are actually doing so, are imagining it, or are trying to fool people.

Assuming spirits do exist, most feel they are spirits of their ancestors that they see. Sometimes they may see other spirits. So if your friend is seeing the spirits of his ancestors, they must be Chinese. But of course, once a person becomes a spirit, nationality does not matter.

The incense would not really attract the spirits as much as it would get the person in the correct frame of mind to receive and communicate with the spirits.

My personal view is that it is unlikely people can communicate with spirits.I would guess your friend of a friend is using his "powers" to make himself seem more important and mystical. BUT -- I keep an open mind to all possibilities. There are many strange things that occur in this world.

Sensing spirits and trying to understand it

Question

April 4, 2008

I seem to sense unfriendly spirits of some type around me quite a bit. I see things in my minds eye but can not produce proof of what i am experiencing. I am hesitant to move forward with this information but one thing for sure is that i know i have some sense of the spirit world that i can not quite get a grasp on. Please help me to understand this gift.

- USA

Answer

Sensing spirits is such a strange thing. There doesn't seem to be a good explanation. Some people seem to sense unhappy spirits, while others sense unfriendly spirits. What about the happy, friendly spirits? Or don't they bother to try to communicate?

One thing to realize is that the more you feel you are sensing spirits, the more you seem to notice things that may or may not be spirits. You have to be able to discriminate if it is really happening.

Note that if you try to sense these spirits, the effect usually does not happy. That is a way to stop the situation.

Make observations. Perhaps even keep a log of what you are sensing. This will help you understand it better.

Spirits and telekinesis

Question

March 8, 2008

I have a question, why do spirits touch some people? I always feel hot and cold breezes, and human hand touches on my legs and sometimes their so strong that it can send a chill down your spine, like what they do to me. and I know they can read people's minds, after trying to make a Wee Gee board I ripped a small piece of paper and in my mind I focused and told them to "put your finger on the piece of paper and push it as hard as you can" "if you can hear me then could you please slide the paper toward me", then about 5 seconds later, it slid toward me!! then I said in my mind "if that was you can you please do that again" then again it slid toward me more!!! and I had chills zooming up and down my spine and I felt a cool spot, around the piece of paper.

Answer

There are theories that some people have the ability to move objects with their minds. It is called telekinesis. See http://www.psychic101.com/telekinesis.html for more information.

If this is true, then some things may be telekinesis rather than spirits.

There is so much we do not know.
