My First Paranormal Investigation
Saturday evening. February 2, 2019.Ā
A local paranormal group, headquartered in my neighborhood, was hosting an investigation downtown. Just two minutes from my home by car, I decided to attend. It was a fundraiser to help raise money to fix the roof of the building. I figured, why not? Iām supporting local X2.
But it wasnāt āsupporting localā which attracted me to attend.
I donāt watch TV.Ā I havenāt watched TV for 5 years now.Ā I rarely even watch movies. Therefore, I havenāt been following the continuing trend of paranormal investigation shows. Back in the day, when this was becoming a hot trend, I did watch the first and maybe second season of Ghost Adventurers. It was more for the drama and Zacās face. I watched a few episodes of Ghost Hunters (TAPS).
Hereās some background.
When my good friend out in Portland had a heart attack, I knew he would be in the hospital about a month or so beforehand. I saw a vision I which I was flying to meet his wife and son. The vision appeared three times while I was at work. By the third time? I was heavily annoyed and took it was rubbish. When he shared via FB he was having heart surgery? I literally lost my marbles. I had my first panic attack, which was so severe, I was taken by ambulance and almost admitted for a 3 day observation at the local nuttery. I discontinued giving readings to my sister and my husbandās cousin. I wanted NOTHING to do with my ability. NOTHING.
Fast forward to Fall of 2017. My mother-in-law was slowly dying from cancer. I foresaw her death in the spring, possibly early April, of 2018.Ā She passed on March 28. Then my auntie in Louisiana was ill. My dad called and suggested we make a drive down to see her. I immediately received a message which said we HAD to go for this would be our last chance to see her alive and she would pass within 14 days. I agreed we needed to see her and we drove down a week later. Upon seeing her? I could feel her energy slowing seeping out of her body. It was surreal. Her body, when looking at her, āfeltā lighter than anyone else in the room. Her energy also felt content, as if she was ready to go. The next day? We made our last visit. She was heavily sedated. My mother and I walked out of her room and she said, āI think this is the last time I will see her alive.ā I gave her a hug and agreed this was. I told her she will pass within the week. I believe she passed five days later.
My grandmother had been ill, on and off, in and out of the hospital for the past year of various issues. We visited her last November, before Thanksgiving, and I felt she wasnāt going to be with us for much longer. It felt like four weeks. However, she didnāt pass and I was stumped. Less than a two weeks before she did pass, she was in the hospital. We made a visit and despite her energy was fairly intact in her body? It did feel slightly lighter than I had noticed in November. I also felt the presence of her ex-husband in the room. When we left, my mom asked me how soon she would pass. I said within a week. She passed four days later.
I decided to continue offering readings for my sister, sometime after my mother-in-law passed. When my Auntie passed, I began to feel more comfortable giving readings so I began to offer readings for my good friend. When my grandmother passed? I said to myself, āI need to accept the fact I have the ability to know. To hear. To feel. And not FEAR it any longer.ā
I heard about the paranormal investigation via Facebook. Someone I knew showed interested and it came up on my page. A local group was hosting it and the business was just two minutes from my home. I bought a ticket and arrived an hour late due to returning from Chicago from visiting my grandmother (whom was still living at her home at the time). I bought the ticket to support local but also because I wanted to know if I was crazy or indeed legit. Was I truly an Empath or was I full of shit.
I was greeted at the door and shyly asked if anyone else was an Empath ...because I wanted to verify with another Empath or Medium of what I might feel. She said yes and led me to a group which was already in progress of an investigation.Ā Immediately upon entering the room, someone inside the room felt familiar. When the man began to ask questions? I got a name. I knew this person but could not see him due to lack of light. When the session was over, we all returned to the first floor of the building. I walked around to look for this man, to confirm it was whom I believed it was, but could not find him. At that point, I believed I was nuts. I stood around, perplexed, and then I heard a man call out my name in excitement. It was him!!! He shared that he, too, had the ability to sense Spirits but in a different way. I remained with his group for the rest of the night and received some good results/confirmations. That night? My experiences confirmed to me that my abilities were true. That I can feel the emotions of the Spirits and get information of their sex, age, and year of death. I can feel the residual energy of places and get information of past events which transpired. Spirits also speak to me, telling me where to go or what to share with others. I can get information from pictures or by holding an object belonging to that person. Recently? I know what a portal feels like and have seen the aura of a Spirit (child). I no longer fear my abilities. Accepting what I have is true, I have been able to cue in much better to the Spirits and my environment. It comes so much easier to me. Better yet? I donāt have anxiety when Spirits are communicating with me.
Fast forward to today. Well. I will post more about my previous investigations but bed calls. :-)
