I have been seeing and feeling spirits most of my life I not only seen an apparition of a man, but the whole room the apparition was in was also an apparition as the room looked just as he had it when he was alive. I researched him and found a picture from his wife which comformed it to me.
In another home after renovating I added a bathroom off my kitchen and for some reason it must have annoyed my ghost because a picture would fall off the wall constantly for no reason one day instead of falling off the wall and dropping as per ususa, l it had to of flew up 2.5 feet and then across 6 feet to fall in the shower with me. I new of the ghost of the old man that owned the home, researching I found a community friend who had a picture with him as he appeared to me and that his wife left him and the kids abandoned him and the picture which eventually flew up and across the room into the shower with me was that of a husband and wife after changing it to a bird picture no longer did it fall or fly. I have also seen all the types of spirits, including a rare outdoor vortex of an indian over stoney lake, which seemed to be swept along in the clouds like a current was drowning him, when I investigated the area I found that the water level once was as high, and it was a flood plain also. I have felt a presence most of my life. I have been told of accidents happening on many occasions, I have been awakened to know of someone passing, and have knowledge when my family is at risk, so I know there is a divine presence guiding us. |

Umm well i have had many paranormal experiences so seeing spirits/ghosts are not something surprising to me anymore.I have experienced many different types of ghosts some of these being apparations, poltergeists,Shadow ghosts and also have seen possesion...not sure if that is spelt right, i have also seen ghost lights.I think that the last experience was when my friend and i went on a day tour to Fremantle Prison and we were in one of the church rooms and my friend and i saw a pale white-ish human figure walk through the wall the whole time we were in this room we kept on gettin cold chills(it was quiet hot that day) and we kept on gettin the feeling that someone was touching our backs but when we turned around to see if anyone was there we found that no one was behind us.
