Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I discovered by accident that I could pick up an object of individual and hold it for a few seconds and do a reading. I am not like the psychics you hear about on TV or the internet. I have to touch an object several times probably a letter or maybe befriend the person visit their house. Then later maybe weeks later I will dream about anything that might happen to that person. Mostly life and death situations. I am actually Catholic, and pray a lot to God.

As a child in the 1970′s, I visited my friend Tammy’s house a lot. We lived in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. During that time Tammy told me that she was attacked by two neighborhood boys. The next night I fell asleep and dreamed that they would also attack me. The next day I ran across the street to find my little brother, but the boys jumped me from behind some bushes and trees. Luckily, I had been forewarned by my dream and I was prepared and fought them off.

In 1984, when my brother Sean was killed in an auto accident, I encountered a residential haunting. I heard all sorts of paranormal activity but could not see anything. Finally when we burned some of the stuff Sean had died in the haunting stopped. Strange enough I was the only member of the family who ever heard anything.

In 1986 when my aunt Sylvia mailed my mother a letter. I quickly read the letter, set it down on my mother’s dresser and the next day I dreamed Sylvia was having a funeral. My mother called Tennessee and quickly found out that Sylvia had died several weeks ago. No one in the family had called my mother.

In 1988 my husband’s brother-in-law Robert was found hanging from a tree. Robert was only twenty two years old. Right before Robert died he drove to my house and frantically said there is something I have to tell Doug. Robert died that weekend and we did not find his body for over two weeks. He had been found hanging from a tree. Robert had been mixed up with using cocaine. Robert’s family told me he committed suicide. The County Coroner did an autopsy and ruled his death a suicide. Later I moved into my parent’s house and Robert kept coming to me in my dreams saying, “There’s something I have to tell Doug.”  He would float around my parent’s house coming up to me and saying there’s something I have to tell Doug over and over. I told Doug and his ex wife Laura but they just hushed me and tried to forget what had happened.

In 2001 I awoke from a dream and saw in the dream my Aunt Linda’s funeral. I called her husband John and he listened and promised not tell her. But, sadly, six months later she died of a heart attack.

Another time my husbands best friend Mike’s dad died. Mike’s dad was an older man in his 80′s. Mike’s dad happened to be an electrical engineer. Mike gave me some of his dad’s engineer equipment. I put the equipment in my bedroom because the stuff was expensive. The next week I began dreaming about Mike’s dad. His dad came to me as a spirit in a dream. Mike’s dad told me that it was ok, I took his oscilloscope. I noticed every time I would practice with the electronic equipment the next day Mike’s dad would talk to me in the spirit world. I stopped using his equipment and put it away to get him to quit talking to me.

I noticed one significant thing about the telemetry ability. I have to either sleep at the resident’s house where an paranormal event may occur. Or I would have to take an item or article that the deceased or nearly deceased has touched, and take it home place it on my night stand and go to sleep. I then go home go to sleep and dream and the spirit comes and talks to me.

I haven’t had any telemetry occurrences lately. But, luckily no one has died. I’m grateful for that. It’s too bad the police do not believe in these abilities. I’m sure some of us that have these gifts of telemetry could help them, solve some unsolved cases, or possibly recent homicides.

I know the town I live in, Rockford, Illinois has had 13 unsolved murders in 2008 and 11 in 2009. Too bad they don’t want to listen to any psychics.
