"Ghosts"

I was never one to believe in ghosts growing up. On March 25, 2004 a dear friend of mine named Chris died. He didn't go to my college, but he sang in our choir at school. We had developed a special bond the first semester; we both had rough lives and we supported one another through the difficult times. A falling out happened between him and my roommate and I was naive and sided with my roommate. I never saw Chris again.

A week after his funeral, I was walking out of the gate at school. All of a sudden, I saw Chris across the street and he waved. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, he was still there. Then I turned my head and he had vanished. This has happened several times in the past year; probably 15 or so. The erie thing is that I'm not the only person who's seen him; 2 of my other friends who were close with him have seen him. After Chris died, I blamed myself greatly for it. He either died of suicide or a heroin overdose (the people at campus ministry refused to say which one it was but that it was one of them) and I blamed myself for not trying to smooth things out between him and my roommate; I felt that he probably was so hurt from what happened that that was why he died. For three days after his death, I was completely hysterical. At the funeral, I was numb and detached from emotion. Seeing him and his smile made me realize that I was forgiven. I had written his family a long letter asking for their forgiveness and when I saw Chris one time this summer, I knew they had granted that to me. It amazes me that knowing someone for such short of time could have that deep of an impact, but I'm glad to have had this experience.

Hello Peacegirl,

I am always curious when a non-believer finally gets to see and realize it's true how it affects their emotional and spiritual life. It's also a nice "I told ya so" but we wont go there. Ok, just a moment, you see it is really hard growing up being a sensitive who sees ghosts and experiences paranormal things often, and when you try to share it with someone they look at you like you have 3 heads and are probably just a step short of "One flew over the cookoos nest". So, when someone finally gets to see for themselves, it has to kind of shake their foundations a little. I'm glad you have gotten some peace of mind and know he is ok and you are forgiven.

So, how has finally seeing a ghost affected you?

I know what you mean, I am a psychotherapist, and often in my field co-workers classify clients seeing a ghost as a psychotic episode, but I don't. I have seen and experienced the paranormal way too much to jump to a mental illness diagnosis. I have to watch how I share my experiences at work in fear that I would be labeled too!

Hi Peace Arrow

Thank you for sharing your story here, it must have been very comforting for you to see your dear friend after his passing((((((((Bless You)))))) maybe he knew just how difficult it was for you and perhaps that is why he showed himself to you, to comfort you in your grief. your friend will never stop loving you as you will never stop loving him , you are connected in heart and nothing can ever take that love away from you.

As i work on a spiritual level ,I'm iinterested in psychic/spirit art,I am involved in mediumship and the paranormal i have experienced some very strange happenings far too many to mention, i have captured full apparitions, orbs, spirit lights and many other strange unexplainable images on camera,i have also heard spirit singing, humming, talking, i have also been given very accurate messages for people from their loved ones who have taken transition to the world of spirit, i have been touched on many occasions whilst in the company of others who have also been touched more or less at the same time.

Through my own personal experiences i do believe that we do move onto a higher level after we leave our earthly vessel.

I am so happy that your friend blessed you with his presence. Very Happy
((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))
with all my love and my deepest respect
