Jeffrey J Experience 2/2/12  Approximately ten years ago my life was changed immeasurably by my experience. I was laid in bed after finishing a night shift, suddenly I was in a dark place and all I could see in front of me was the outline shape, of an old lady. She was very frustrated and she was pushing against what appeared to be an invisible barrier. I consoled her and informed the lady that if she wanted to get through this barrier she would have to believe that it was possible to pass through it. In a space of time that I could not measure a beam of light shone down from what seemed to be above us, but to be honest the perspective of this I am unsure of. I could see a person within the light and the lady appeared to know who it was because she greeted him by name. I followed them both and to my amazement was in a room that was flooded with light . And  when I looked around the room around the perimeter I could distinguish the shapes of people that all wore the same clothing, and this was like a monks robe and all of them wore white with their hoods up.  For some unknown reason I approached one of these beings and asked through my mind if my Mother was ok ( she had died many years before). Before I could ask or say anything else a huge book suddenly appeared before my eyes and opened at a page. This page had many photographs on it but only one was clear. This photograph was one of my Mother sat beside a river laughing with other people. Just as suddenly the book shut and disappeared. I had this awful feeling that I shouldn't be in that place and felt like a naughty child. Just as quickly a became aware that I was back in my bed again but a much changed  person for having this experience. Just to make things clear if this was a dream I had never dreamt of my Mother before this experience and have never had a dream about her since. She passed twenty four years ago.  Short ADC.  No link because this is all there is.

Melissa Experience 1/29/12 When he died I wrote him a letter with my feelings, telling him how sad I was we would never get to have a relationship. I also told him how I wanted to be there with him because I was so sad I wanted to kill myself.  I told him many things I wanted to say and I ask God and him to please give me a sign that he read the letter.  I folded the letter up and put in in my jewelry box in the top of my closet.  I forgot about it. Then about 2 years later I remembered it when I was with a friend and wanted to show this friend the letter.  So, I got the letter out and there was a star burned out in the middle of the letter.  I wondered if someone had found it and lit it on fire and then blew it out, but I have no idea why anyone would do that. I had never touched the letter or told anyone about it before then.  I believe it was God or my Dad telling me he got the message.  I still have the letter today.

Molly M Experience 1/29/12 I was taking a nap in the living room of their house 2 days after her passing and I woke up to tomato sauce cooking. I quickly asked my father if he was cooking and he said no. I actually had to get up, go in the kitchen and even outside to see where the smell was coming from. It was her sauce. No doubt.  The 2nd experience was on the 3rd day after her passing. My brother had set up a memorial on a coffee table which had 4  candles. He was to light them all and leave them for 30 days lit. I woke up and one was lit and no one had lighted it.

Gert L Experience 1/29/12 My Mother told me that a ex-teacher at the high school I had went to had passed away. He hadn't been my teacher and I didn't really know him, but I decided to look up his obituary online a couple weeks later. He had lived in a small town about 20 minutes from where I live. I found the local paper for that town and began looking through the short list of obituaries... before I reached the obituary of the ex teacher, I stumbled upon one for a coworker I hadn't seen in 20 years. Randy had died one week before I found his obituary. The day he had died a bird began perching on my porch light every evening. The bird didn't fly off when anyone opened the door... I thought it was unusual and by the third day I knew the bird was a harbinger or messenger and that someone had died. I never saw the bird again after finding Randy's death notice.

 Deborah B Experience 1/29/12 I was counseling a cancer patient in his last stages.  He had a fear of leaving his family and death.  We talked about death and used hypnosis to help with his pain control. Spoke about options. After 3 weeks of working with him, I woke up about 1:30 am and looked at the bedroom door.  There he was standing there, glowing, happy; I got the sense he was telling me everything is okay now.  I called the hospital the next morning about 10:00 am and the nurse told me he passed in the night, perhaps about 1:00 am

Kieve S Experience 1/29/12 It didn't take long for me to fall asleep. But I remember suddenly being JOLTED out of my sleep! It was like an electric shock hit me in my sleep! Its like I popped up and laid right back down to sleep! Like toast in a toaster! I didn't think anything of it at, the time.  I just figured I had dozed off and jumped in my sleep, like so many of us do.  By the next day, my thoughts had changed. I would start to believe that the jolt in my sleep, was the time my mother shot herself in the head… She asked me if I was feeling ok. I said," Loren, My Mom is going to kill herself today!" I said it so matter-of-factly! It just rolled off my tongue, almost before I even formed it as a thought.
ADC involving mother who committed suicide.

MKF Experience 1/29/12 From Switzerland I don't see him in my dream, it's not a visual experience. It's a physical one. I can feel him hugging me through the blankets. The last time I said to him "hold me" and he did it. I said again "hold me tight" and I could feel his arms trying to push harder through the blankets. It felt like a very "familiar" touch, I simply knew it was him! And then I wake up and the feeling of physical contact immediately vanishes. The first three of four times I thought it was just my imagination, but since the last time, about 10 days ago,  I'm not so sure that it is only a dream or a kind of hallucination. If it was a dream why should I feel the pressure through the blankets? I would probably feel the contact of his hand directly on my skin, but it was so clear that the blankets were an obstacle. This detail made the experience so real!

Cindy J Experience 1/29/12 My mom passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 24, 2011. She suffered a cardiac arrest at night with my dad present and they were able to revive her briefly, and took her to the hospital where she was pronounced and my dad found out she was deceased. This was mid morning, maybe 300am or 330am. At this time, my husband and I were staying in a hotel in New Hampshire, traveling back from a trip. I was not aware of my mom passing. At about 4am, I was getting ready to get up to use the bathroom, this object, brightly lit and about 10 inches long hovered above my bed. It was moving in all directions, up down, sideways, and I hid my face briefly under the sheet. I than looked up again and it was flying around more quickly. I put my left hand out, and it seemed to land on my extended finger. I did not feel anything but a great joy and calmness and peacefulness. I called out to my husband to look at the angel in the room, and it began to hover over him and than disappeared into the wall. The room was than again dark. There was no actual figure noted. Only some outlines that contained a continuous light. I didn't see a face or what looked like wings, but there was definitely something moving in both sides of it keeping it afloat. I felt so good, and eventually awoke my husband. We left for our home that day and when we were almost home, I was called and told that mom had passed. My dad had tried to call me earlier that morning, about 730-800 am and left a message for me to call him. I didn't see that on my phone.

Robert L Experience 1/23/12 I was in the upstairs bedroom meditating and asking Danny, my son who died to help regarding his Aunt Diane's dream in which he appeared to her.. My wife was upstairs on the computer in the study.. All of a sudden the smoke detector went off ( no battery, it is connected by electrical wires).. It just kept blasting.. Than I said "ok let me go on the computer and write to Danny".. It just stopped.. I went on the computer using Dragon/program and he wrote to me ( I call it semi-automatic reading) concerning Aunt Diane's medical condition.. I than called Diane on the phone and told her what Daniel said.. She started to cry and said that is almost exactly what her Dr told her this afternoon. The smoke detector has not gone on since.

Paula F Experience 1/23/12 From the UK I was asleep in bed and my boyfriend woke and went to the toilet and I heard the telephone ring I sat up reached onto his side of the bed and picked the receiver up, my nana's voice said "hello Paula" I scanned my brain and thought how does my Nan know I am here , did I give her this number, I had not long moved in, I said "hello Nan!" she said "hello Paula" again and again and at that point it dawned on me that my Nan was was dead, my boyfriend walked into the room and said what are you doing, I looked down into my hands and realized we did not have a phone in the bedroom, I said My Nan just rang me"

Bhawna A Experience 1/23/12 From India  I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES AND I CRIED, I HUGGED HIM VERY TIGHTLY, THEN IMMEDIATELY HE WALKED OVER THE BATHROOM AND SAID TO US " WHERE DID U LEFT ME ALONE". AND HE SHUT THE BATHROOM'S DOOR, THEN I REALIZED HE IS NOT IN HIS SHIRT, HE WORE HIS THOSE CLOTHES WHICH HE HAD TAKEN AWAY ON HIS BODY AT THE LAST TIME, (I.E., WHITE JOCKEY AND LONG LOWER) HE HAD A WOUND MARK ON HIS LEFT FRONT HEAD SIDE. WHEN I DISCUSSED ABOUT THIS DREAM TO MY FAMILY MEMBERS THEY TOLD ME THAT HE HAD WOUND MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD IN REALTY. BECAUSE WHEN HE GOT HEART ATTACK HE WAS IN BATHROOM AND MAY BE DUE TO PAIN HE FELL ON THE FLOOR AND CRASH WITH THE WATER TAP. THIS WAS THE REASON OF HIS WOUND.

Carolyn G Experiences 1/23/12 I was driving down the street towards town when I began to smell him very very strongly and I knew he was sitting in the car next to me, so I said Hi Will!, I drove straight to the nearest phone and called the nursing home he had been for about a year and asked about his condition and they told me he had passed only moments prior to my call.
ADC from deceased friend. 
I was in the school office, I did attendance first thing in the morning before going to help a teacher, the head secretary took me aside in the back and told me (so and so) had killed himself, I felt a plunge in my soul and heard in my head "It's not your fault" This moved me to tears and I went straight to the file to check the name with a picture to see if it was the child I thought it was, and yes it was he, I began to cry and he put his hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear "You were right" … I had told him that God never ever gives us any challenge that we are not capable of conquering and that there was always a solution available, help for him, but if he did do something as drastic as killing himself he would only have to face the problem again in his next life and it would be even harder next time. So I knew he had made a special point to come back and let me know I wasn't to blame and was correct in my assessment.

Alan K Experience 1/23/12 My mother died on the ides of March 1988.  She was a very lonely person with varying degrees of visitation from three children.  Her main form of entertainment was her television - she watched it day and night.  My sister stayed at her house for a while before she passed.  My sister did not work - was and is an alcoholic and would sell anything she could to get a drink.  While driving to the funeral home a few days after her death with my brother and sister I heard my mother say to me "make sure you get my television."  Even though I had one it was older and not in good shape but no one had talked about what to do with the little she possessed - her television being I suppose her best friend.  When I heard that I knew immediately what she meant.  She knew my sister would sell it for booze or drugs and I would use it not only to watch but to think of her every time I looked at it.  I expected some resistance from my sister but at that time I said "I want mother' TV."  The words were as if she was in the car with me.

Marlene B Experience 1/23/12 My mother had been in Hospice at home for her stage IV Lung Cancer and for almost a week all four of her children had been in her home taking care of her as her health declined when we moved her to this skilled nursing facility.  She got there at 6pm.  By the next day, she was in a bed by a window on an unusually warm January day with 10 of her loved ones gathered around her when she passed away.  Approximately thirty minutes after she passed away I smelled a very sweet, very pretty, smell of roses and asked out loud if any one else smelled any thing, and others said yes, roses.  My mother's favorite flower was a rose.
ADC involving the fragrance of roses, witnessed by others, shortly after her mother died.

Ulrich J Experience 1/23/12  I went to the back of the yard and was feeling rather blue over losing Holly...started crying somewhat and then stood up and looked to my right and I saw a cat strangely the same color as my holly...red and white hair. Holly was a golden retriever...the cat took an instant attraction to me and followed me as if it was a dog...I threw a ball and it chased it...it snuggled up to me and let me be affectionate to it many times...it was very cute. I actually wanted to take it home but it looked like someone owned it...and I also have sever allergies to it...so I thought either God sent the cat to comfort me or holly came to tell me in her own way she's ok...sounds crazy I know but that's what I got out of it.  That cat appeared out of nowhere, very peculiar.
ADC after pet dog died.

Lori Experience 1/18/12 I was lying in bed reading, and I fell into a very light sleep, the kind of sleep where you're halfway between sleep and wakefulness. I started dreaming, in which I was in my parents home. I wandered upstairs to their bedroom, where I saw my brother and dad on the bed playing cards. Even in the dream state I knew my father was not alive. I remember thinking "my dad is here". I came over to the bed behind him to give him a hug, and at that moment I woke from the dream. At that exact moment I simultaneously felt him hugging me. I could feel the hug and the warmth. I also heard VERY clear and distinctly in my right ear him say "I love you". I didn't say it out loud but thought "I love you too dad". The hug lasted about a minute or so and slowly the pressure of the hug released.

Jennifer B Experiences 1/18/12  A few days after that, I was walking out of the grocery store and saw a very clearly defined, bright rainbow that was in a complete arc from one end of the horizon to the other. There was a fainter one behind it. I could not help but notice, but did not think anything more of it. A couple days after that, my dad asked me if I had ever read any of my brother's poetry. I said "no". He then showed me one of his poems. In the poem it said "when you enter into the brightness, send me a rainbow to shine through the bleakness (of this life)" He wrote it to a very close friend of his that passed away several years ago.

Jean F Experience 1/18/12  I was laying there in bed crying silently to myself because I was not sure what I should do, it was dark in my room but plain as day I seen some sort of form, it was not a body but it was like smoke or cloud but you could see thru it and I heard my brother say in his voice its OK and at the very time I was thinking I was going to trade and from that moment on I never had another ill feeling about the issue and I feel still today I done the right thing… I have heard of ghosts and spirits and I thought I would be afraid but when my brother came to me I was overjoyed and it did not scare me at all and I am so glad it happened I would never be afraid again.
