Have you ever wonder if your deceased loved ones come around you once in a while? Have you ever experienced unusual or unexplainable things, but are afraid to investigate?
Lights Flickering
This is one of the most common signs. Spirits have the ability to interfere with light and electricity just because they are pure energy. I'm not saying that EVERY single time a light bulb flickers at home means that a spirit is around you, but if you check the bulb or the switch and everything seems to be fine and you can't find an explainable reason, then is very possible there's a spirit around you.
Appliances Turning On and Off
Again, the spirits are pure energy and they can manipulate electronic appliances as well, such as the TV, radio, microwave oven, etc. Most of the times they want to make you aware that they're there and want your attention. If your TV turns on for no apparent reason, try to decode the reason behind it…what show or channel is on? Is it perhaps the favorite show your grandfather used to watch before passing away? Is the radio playing your grandma's favorite old song?
Chills or Cold Spots
Sometimes you are in your room, reading a book or chatting online, and suddenly, you feel an awkward chill on the back of your neck, or you get sudden goose bumps through your arms even though is 70o. Degrees. Most of the people have experienced something similar at least once in their lifetimes and the reason of these phenomena is that spirits do not release heat because in fact they absorb it. As everybody knows, heat is energy in movement, and when spirits absorb it they leave a cold spot instead. They use that energy to move and perhaps, to turn on your TV.
Dreams
Perhaps this is the universal media through which spirits send you messages. But how do you know if that dream about you and your death relative was a real conversation or just the product of your subconscious? In fact, there are a few characteristics you should analyze after having a spiritual dream: It should be vivid
It should be in color, not black and white or grayish
It should be chronological or at least with a logical sequence It should have some sort of message with words, telepathy, or physical
It should have left you confused, happy, peaceful or even fearful
The Feeling of Being Watched
A lot of us have felt this one! All of us have the ability to pick up spiritual energy once in while, especially when we are relaxed. You may ask, how to tell if this feeling is real or just a suggestive fear? Just ask yourself: Am I feeling this because I don't like to be alone? Or is it because I recently watched something scary on TV? Remember that our mind play tricks on us very often. If the feeling of being watched came out of the blue, while you were singing, reading a book or just concentrated in something totally unrelated, then be sure that you are not alone!
Voices
A lot of times people have heard voices calling their names, laughing or chatter. This is very possible but very rare. Indeed, when people hear this voices in an unexplainable circumstance, they attribute them to ghosts. In this case let me make a distinction between a ghost and a spirit. A ghost is an entity that hasn't cross over to the other side, while a spirit has done so. A spirit can come to the earth to visit relatives and gives us messages, which can also be heard through our ears, but as I said, these cases are rare. On the other hand, a ghost doesn't know is dead or they can't cross over because of unfinished business, and they can also try to communicate with you in a rather disturbing manner.
Symbols
Unfortunately this is the sign we pay less attention to. Spirits try to communicate with us in every unimaginable manner, and by using symbols they are sending us a message without scaring us. Have you ever seen a flying bird that suddenly reminds you of a friend you lost in your childhood? Or perhaps, you found an exact copy of a book at the bookstore that your grandmother used to read to you? What about that toy you thought was lost that your father gave you one Christmas? All of these are examples of symbols our spirits use to let us know… Hey, I'm watching over you!
Scents
This is another sign that can be confusing. We always keep memories about how our deceased relatives used to smell, perhaps of a distinctive colony or perfume they liked, or even because of a specific activity they performed. I've heard many stories where people are doing something and suddenly they smell that particular perfume, or cigarette odor. If your death relative used to work with cars and out of the blue you smell car oil, don't be scared and say hi!
Moving objects
Spirits can have the energy to move an object in front of our eyes. However this is rather rare since they don't want to scare us. This phenomenon is more attributed to ghosts. But many times spirits will do so if they have something important to tell us, especially if we are experiencing a rough time in our lives. Even though you may not see the actual movement, things can appear in different places the next morning or disappear from it usual location. Think about the actual meaning of that object to you, and how can it relate to your deceased relative.
Apparitions
Apparitions can be really scary, especially because of the context how movies portray them. Spirits don't want to scare us, but sometimes they'll appear to us to give us peace. When we see people we don't know, there can be two possible explanations. It is a ghost or it is an angel, but that's another story. Ghosts usually appear to scare us or at least to let us know they're there. Angels appear to us to protect us. When a death relative appears to you, don't be scared and try to talk to him/her. But don't worry, since this sign is the rarest, rest assured that you won't see a complete apparition, however don't underestimate those "corner of the eye shadows", because most of the times, it wasn't your imagination.
Wow...what an interesting article. I believe in ghosts/spirits because my late grandfather saw one and he was the type of man who was very practical and did not believe in such things until he witnessed it firsthand.
Best wishes.

that was so generalized its ridiculous... "a spiritual dream may leave u feeling happy, peaceful, confused & even fearful"
*gasp!* omg! my dream of my dead cousin left me feeling just like that in some interpretation of the word!

# 4, you are narrow minded and destined to be haunted by your words
#6 by misplacedmisfit, Jan 17, 2008
These are so true! I've had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 happen to me. The ones I remember the most are the dreams I've have about a friend of mine who died 14 years ago. They don't happen often, but when they do I pay attention.

The narrow minded people are those who believe that there is no afterlife and, like saying that of all the planets in the universe, earth is the only lucky one that has life. Great article!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son and his friends are experiencing most of the things you mentioned about the lights and things being moved etc. He is staying in Santa Cruz and the house they live in was previously occupied by who we think might be Ed Kemper. My husband and I went to drop him off at the house last weekend Feb. 2008, and we noticed a woman on the balcony of my son\'s place. He was by the door and she was right next to him, we thought they knew each other. I called my son to come back to the car so that we could go grab some dinner and I asked him about the lady and he said nobody was home and he didn't see a lady. My husband and I didn't believe him at first because we know what we saw, but he had no reason to lie. Then we did some research on the house and found out about the girls who were beheaded and dismembered but I am still not sure this is related. We are not sure what to think or what to do for that matter. My son is not scared he enjoys what he calls his spirit friends who also occupy his house he just said\" to bad they can\'t share the rent with the rest of us.\"

Thanks for sharing your story. In this case it seems that things are pretty calm and that nobody is being bothered by these ghosts. In these situations is better to leave things like they are. But if the activity interferes with the normality of life, the best thing to do is to call a professional (medium, priest, psychic etc)to make a cleansing in the house. Do not try to do it yourself or your son because it needs to be done by a mentally and energetically prepared person, remember that you are dealing with energies here.

I lost my son last 4th of July and have had MANY signs from him as have other family members and friends. Some were very obvious and could not be disputed for what they were and others were not so obvious.
Best thing to do is keep an open mind !!!!
