The Afterlife: Does it exist?

If so, what form?

Quick note before I start: This is meant to create discussion, not flame. I don't want any major arguments breaking out, this is just something I should probably tell everyone, so they can get a little bit more info about me.
On another note, this post will have some adult content. Mainly, graphic descriptions that may not be suitable for anyone under 17. I will not be held responsible for anyone not liking what I have to say. So, here we go, I hope you enjoy it.

Many of us, in our lives, have wondered if the afterlife exists, and if it does, what form it is. Now, I myself have proof of the so called Afterlife. No, I have not "almost died" and seen it, I feel it's presence every day. How is that possible? Let me explain...

My mom's dad's mother was 100% native american, hailing from a Sioux tribe. On my dad's side, we have gypsies (Austrian and Hungarian). I don't know where I get my "powers" but either side could be possible candidates. I tend to "blame" the native american, seeing as how my mother also has the same power, to greater effect. Now, what power are we talking about here?

I can sense the presence of ghosts. I'm not talking "Sixth Sense" the movie style, where I see ghosts all the time. They sometimes manifest, but it's harder to explain than that. Yes, I know, most of you think I'm crazy, but I know for a fact I'm not, several of my friends share this "power" with me. How do I know it's real? It's hard to explain, but let me get down to the buisness end and tell you all what I feel.

Whenever a ghost is near by, I get cold. My spine shivers, and I start to tear. It's not tears of sadness, or joy, it's just... tears. I've started bawling on occasions, but it's not that I cry in the normal sense, it's just crying. Ok, so maybe I'm weird, but it's true. Oh, and with the coldness, people who are naturally cold will be extremely warm, and I'll have the heat blasting at me(in the car), and yet I'm still cold. It's weird when it happens, but I'm used to it.

For those of you still with me, let me explain a bit more. My current house is haunted, horribly. I've woken up with the feeling, looked out my door, and seen what I thought at first was the grim reaper (all black, cloak, scythe) outside my room. Turns out I thought wrong, it was the ghost haunting my house (she's going to hate me for this one!). She's either Amish or very old, and she often runs around in Pioneer-Era clothing. She is a very malicious spirit, and likes to scare the bejeezies out of my family. My mother has also seen a lady (unsure age, whatnot) running down the hall holding a knife. We've also had doors randomly open, and maniacal laughter erupting from the halls... it's scary sometimes, but they can't really hurt us, too bad.

Where else do I get this feeling? Well, most graveyards, especially the one nearest my house. There is a lone, gnarled tree standing off to the side, and someone was hung there. Can't see the face, it's covered up by a mask of sorts, but he's there, hanging... Also, there is a kid's summer camp a little ways away, and driving past it I've had... visions. Almost like dreams, but real... vivid... with my eyes wide open. People being hung, tortured, disembowled... blood and guts everywhere. It wasn't pretty, and I don't drive past there at night anymore.

I know all this sounds strange to most of you, but I really can't explain it very well... it's just a feeling I get. Gah, the lady that haunts my house does not like me writing this (maybe it's my parents playing instruments downstairs), but I'm going to post it anyways.

Any questions/comments and be directed the usual way, down below, in the comments spot. If you need more clarification, I may do it down there, or in a seperate post. I'm unsure right now.

Afterlife? Try multiple realities and planes of existence all in motion at the same time. There is no past, no future, only now. Energy can't be destroyed. Only form changes with 'death' but the energy pattern, ah - now that's a different story. None of what you see or feel can hurt you. It's not evil, out to get ya'll, etc. You don't say how old you are, but it's fairly common for certain age groups to have such activity and is usually tied in to the emotions. Try reading some basic 'Seth' material by Jane Roberts.

Which Sioux tribe? I sweat with Dakota's and Lakota's sometimes. The holy man (Willard Pipeboy) that runs the sweat is from Rosebud.

21. Mom feels it too. I've had the ability for quite some time, at least since I was six, seeing as how I saw a four foot tall, neon-green "goblin" with bright red eyes and jagged teeth. I've been to England, before I knew I had the ability, and the castles there were... not fun, in the slightest. Sure, I loved the architecture, but the feelings I'd get around them, and Stonehenge, were immense.

As far as what tribe, I'm not sure. My mom never really knew, seeing as how my great grandmother's name was extremely hard to pronounce, and everyone just called her Sue, after the Sioux. My mom doesn't know the tribe, as I've asked her a couple of times. It would be nice to know, however.

And yes, multiple realities, I know, energy. However, in one instance, we had a ghost stalking a friend of ours. He was some perverted college kid, a predator if you will, back when the house was a sorority. He wasn't nice, kept on trying to break into the house, but he was subdued by several factors, including my grandfather (again, mom's dad), a friend's grandmother, and another friend's entire collection of grandparents. However, in the same house, there was a ghost on the top floor that would stalk you down the hallway, attempting to do something to you... Maybe some of them, a select few, "feed" on our essence, our spirit. Most humans currently cannot feel ghosts, but I have had some attempt to "drain" me of something, or just try to assault me, attack me.

Here's the deal on the reverend status: I signed up on the internet. No, not a true reverend, I did it (almost) as a joke for my friends. Yes, I can legally marry people, but I haven't used that priveledge yet.

Turn to Joan of Arcadia for healthier guidance.

Did I really say I wanted healthier guidance?

I have an ability that many do not realize, let alone realize that they too have the potential to unlock it. Now, I realize many of you think I'm insane (Like stevendedalus, or even BigDreamer415), but I am not lying. If I could, I'd show all of you in person just what it does to me, and to prove it, have several other people show you the power, too.

I've seen ghosts materialize as many different things. Stronger ones are able to break their original form, going into something else (a cat, for example), and seeing four cats that are nearly invisible staring at you is nothing to balk at.

Fine, I'm insane, or so many of you think. But if you knew the real me, you'd realize that I am (mostly) level-headed, and I think that's all that matter. I just thought I'd bring this up with everyone, see how they all felt, but apparently, the world is not ready.

Hey Dan, how is it that I am not ready? I have told the world, by using this blog, but yet... I don't think most people believe me. I know they exist, my mom knows they exist, and most of my friends also have the same ability.

I don't really think the world was ready, seeing as how I got so many nasty remarks, but who knows?

Dear Rev. Zim, I believe you. Do I think you are crazy? Yes of course but, we are all crazy. Its just that some conceal it much better than others. With that said, I think you might enjoy a book that I recently read entitled, "Talking To Heaven." I'm sure you may find many of the answers that you are in search of in this book and it will also help you to greatly enhance and develope your gift. It also has some recommendations of some other books that might intrest you.
Let me know if you decide to read the book and just what you think about it. Its a very good book. I couldn't put it down.
After reading the book, I was able to some what communicate with my aunt after she passed away in an auto crash. I really didn't think this sort of thing was possible but I kept an open mind about it and I was quite surprised by the out come. GCJ

Please don't make assumptions about me. I don't doubt you... have you ever heard of spiritual warfare?

I had a friend who said that he could see lights/hues surrounding people's bodies. He could determine, by noting the colour of the hues, the person's mood, health, and in some cases if they were very ill to the point of certain death. I don't know how many people he told of this ability, but I don't doubt his belief in his ability. Did I believe? I was skeptical, but I am just a skeptical person by nature. Did I believe he showed me as much as he could about it to get me to believe? Uh... yeah. I am still pondering the possibility: in much the same manner that I ponder the existence of alien civilizations, God, and ghosts.

Thanks for sharing.

...wow...this is a little freaky. Nothing much to say, just thought an article like this deserved comment.

I just realized that I have yet to hear of a haunting that's beneficial. It's always something bad, which makes me think that ghosts are more likely demons, if anything. If only you could destroy the source, for are like holograms from a projector. However, finding that source would be difficult, as it's probably located in some level in Hell, and I doubt anybody wants to go there.

Not all hauntings are evil. Those cats I spoke about, well, they were my friend's grandparents. Very protective, but nice.. they warned us of that one ghost that was stalking her, who ironically got talked to by another friend's grandma.

No, not all ghosts are evil or demons, there are some that are quite nice. If they died before they fuffiled something, or were naturally predatory (think any serial killer/rapist), then they will come back with the same feelings, trapper in an eternity of torment, unable to do what they love.... which, ironically, is hurting others.

I believe in the paranormal. On one occasion(around 10 pm after working on some important case for our Finance class) when i thought I saw a smoky image of a man standing next to a window along the college hallway, I asked my friend Romi if by any chance she'd seen it, and she said she did. She told me exactly where the man was standing and how he'd look. She described it the way I had seen it, and for a moment I felt numb. It started to sink in when we parted ways, and it really freaked me out! Romi had several encounters with the man already, and she said he wasn't like any one of those grim poltergeists that i see on flicks. Amost all paranormal events seem common to her, but she's had a recurring dream of some evil spirit possessing some of our close friends.

Ive had a lot of weird encounters with "the others," - felt someone blow at the back of my ears, heard footsteps on the college hallway when I was the only person in there, and talked to some "uninvited" guest, et al. And hell yeah, I get unconsciously teary-eyed recounting my experience to my friends. I dnt get it whether the tears are those of sadness, joy, or something else.
