This is actually my mom’s story. I thought I’d share it with you anyway because I found it extremely cool as a young child (I’m now 15).
When she was little her parent had split up and her father moved out into a house on the other side of the city. She spent Friday nights there. When she was about 10 she saw a ghost.
One night she couldn’t sleep and got the feeling that someone was watching her but looking around she saw nothing. She sat up and pulled her legs to her chest; she put her head on her knees and fell asleep.
Later into the night she awoke and looked up seeing a shadow at the end of her bed. It wasn’t a person, it was strange. She described it as a ‘dementia from Harry Potter’. She started crying as it got closer. She then screamed and the shadow moved behind her door and her dad came running in. She explained it to him and he checked behind the door and saw nothing; telling her it was a nightmare he took her down stairs with him.
It was 40 years ago and she is now 50 as this year is 2009. Her father died in the house and it was given to her older brother. But even now when she goes in the room she feels a chill but she was unsure if it was her remembering or if it was the room.
We had been told that I had a sensitivity for paranormal activity by a psychic so she took me with her. I felt the atmosphere turn cold when we entered the room too. However I am unsure as to what this means. Any ideas?

wow
Thats creepy, has her older brother experienced anything there?
Did anything else hapPen to anybody else?
You’re probably an empath, a physic who can feel and see entities enter rooms and are sensitive towards that.
creepy. Sounds like a demon was trying to scare her, and the portal is still threre — check for how close wiring or breaker boxes are to the room, as they cause electromagnetic vortexes
No. Empathy means a paranormal -or- psychic ability to only sense the emotions of others (a living being). This is not the same as Clairvoyance/Remote Viewer who is able to see, hear, speak, and sense the dead, in the present, past, or future.
A lot of people make this mistake – But, you can check this in the Wikipedia online.
As, for the atmosphere turning cold- it really could be a number of things. Most people that are told a ghost is haunting a certain room will feel that same room turn cold, because first off they were told previously, and secondly when they step into the “space” they feel their own blood rushing through-out their body, due to adrenaline. That’s not to say the place isn’t haunted – just that it could have been accidentally cold due to an adrenaline rush.
Try to use a Thermal Scanner (there only $15.00), digital voice recorder -or- set up a camera. You’ll get the proof you need easily.
Some say that when a cold spot is forming the spirit is collecting the energy it needs to manifest or be able to do something.
Jodie,
I can’t say much here about my experience, I’m just not comfortable. Back in the seventies, I was still living at home at the time. I will say that just before things started getting really strange I noticed one room in the house was unusually cold, and this was during a heat wave in August. I made it a point to avoid that room. My brothers shared my sentiment. Not long after that, what followed was the appearance of menacing black figures (male?) that really “tested our resolve.” I don’t believe one must be psychic to experience these things. And, I also believe having an active prayer life and a little faith goes a long way toward dealing with these things. Cold rooms may just be the beginning.
There is one thing you should never forget. As living physical beings that we are, we have no way to really identify who may be on the other end of a Ouija board…, so if someone suggests using it to learn more about a ghost, think twice. Many people will tell you that they tell a lot of lies. Don’t get in over your head.

thats a good story Jodie, i really liked it
I am an empath and have very recently started seeing peoples auras,normally just a white light around their head but sometimes with friends i can see a colour. Before I discovered this cool ability of mine which is stronger every day I had a very horrible experience.
Whenever I am feeling very low or depressed or worried I seem to have weird things happen. Street lights next to me go on or off or very recently i started to see shadows in the corner of my eye. One night i actually saw a figure walking fast through my room. I then slept with the light on. I researched these shadows (that did not feel like a presence with a personality, but it definately felt unwelcome) i discovered that people all over the world are seeing these shadow people. Perhaps being empath you are more suggestable to these things, but for me it happens when i am on a low frequency.
So my solution (apart from sleeping with the light on) was too try and cleanse my room, increase my positivity and tell the unwelcome guests that they did not have my permission to be there. It felt like they fed off negative emotions and didnt like to be seen so were light sensitive. But you can definately sense them when you see something in the corner of your eye. Not a good feeling, so now i try to focus only on the aura seeing which makes me feel positive.
I also decided to study reiki which I have heard is a very good idea for empaths
are you just born with empathy or do you develop it later
