My dad died when I was seven. He spent a lot of time in my grandparents house before he died. He died alone in Texas. Later on my grandmother and I would notice this music porcelain doll start playing without being cranked. It really only happened while we were around. Then a couple days before my grandmother passed away, my grandfather noticed a person that looked like my grandmother's dead mother standing next to the window where my grandmother slept. My sisters do not notice anything.

First of all, I am so very sorry to hear about your dad. That must have been extremely difficult for you, especially being so young.

So this sounds like this is something that could possibly run in the family. That doesn't mean that everyone would inherit the abilities or be sensitive to them. Are those the only experiences that you've had? Also, do the experiences frighten you?

I think she is very curious about you and is trying to figure you out just like you are her. She may sense your interest in all things ghost.does she mak you scared?

At first I was terrified. Now I kinda just go with it. When I saw the shadow man in my room I was more surprised than scared. Oh! I just thought of something else. My roommate and I was freaked out about my alarm clock being messed with. It was flashing on and off. Then it just turned off. You now when an alarm clock shuts off and then comes back on they restart? Well when it came back on the time was the exact same. When we moved it, it stopped acting up. We went downstairs to get a Monster cause we were afraid of going to sleep. Before we left I had turned on my digital recorder on and placed it on one of the desks. We were gone for about half a hour. When we listened to it again there were weird tapping noises recorded. It sounded like someone had tapped the recorder with there finger. I tried to copy it and when I listened to mine it sounded close to the same. It went on and off sporadically for half an hour.

I'm glad to hear you've become more comfortable with this as time has gone on. You are dealing with this in the best way possible. One thing I've learned to never say to a spirit of any kind is that it scared you, yet to always say that it surprised you.

That sounds like quite an experience. I don't know if you're able to send the file from your digital recorder, but if it's a stereo file, as opposed to a mono file, and you can send it, I can clean it up with my recording system and see if we can get anything else out of it. Do you feel comfortable in your dorm? Have you ever felt threatened?

I, too, am glad you're becoming more comfortable around spirit. It is a hard thing to get used to, especially if it is fairly new to you. It took me a while to realize exactly what was happening when I began feeling things that seemed weird to me. I was surprised to find that there was a name in the psychic world for what I was going through! I hope you come to embrace your abilities, I think you'll be surprised how amazing it can be Good luck!

I feel very comfortable in my room when there is light on. I cannot sleep in the dark. I never have been. I have always seen shadow figures in the dark. I'm still terrified of sleeping in the dark. I will have another room this coming up fall semester and spring semester. It will be in the same dorm as the one that I experienced the most paranormal activity. I am not far from my old room. I'm pretty much around the corner from it.

The difference between what you experience and what I experience makes it kind of hard for me. You see things, I feel them. I can imagine how frightening it must be to be seeing the things that you are but I'm glad you are comfortable around them in the light. I don't know if you keep a light on at night but that might be a way to handle what happens. Who cares what someone may think? Do what is comfortable for you I hope you can figure a way to be comfortable at night, remember we are here if you need to chat and hopefully we can help

Okay, so this is definitely an ability you've always had. I used to sleep with the TV on, sometimes I still do, so I understand where you're coming from. Do you want to develop your gift further or would you rather it go away? I hate that you can't sleep at night without a light on. The best suggestion I have is to close your eyes and imagine white light surrounding and enveloping you. Then imagine it doing the same in your room. It will push negative entities out, but will still leave you with any kind spirits. It may help with the energy in the room, though I'm not saying what you have is negative. Even still, it should make you feel more comfortable sleeping, even if the light is on.

As for the spirits affecting you, are you comfortable talking to them?

I sleep with the lights on and some form of noise at all times. That's the only way I can fall asleep.

i'm listening to that recording again and it sounds like a few times when the tapping is occurring that someone is trying to say something but isn't able too... I'll try and post it.
