Experience description:

I have already done so, in previous response but I left ONE wonderful experience out. About 3 months after Daddy's passing, I woke one Sunday morning, sat up on the side of the bed and looked out the window at our beautiful view as I did every morning. (My fiancé was already up and in our living room) when I looked out there at our 800 foot dock (which is now destroyed, thanks to Hurricane Irma), I saw a man out there on our dock by our boathouse. I instantly grabbed for my gun on the bed stand, just normal reaction. Our property is 3 acres, a long skinny lot, and to get to our home, is a very long way down a very long driveway, which even has a locked gate. So to see someone out there is very rare. I sat and watched this man quietly, Now I saw him fishing, and casting a pole out into the water from our dock. I kept watching him, and NOW I SEE that he is wearing my Daddy's HAT, shirt, and jeans. It's been too long now to describe the shirt, but it was one of his favorites. I was amazed and shocked and I instantly wanted to try to run out there to him, but I stopped myself knowing he would fade if I did, and it was a long way out there...so i just sat quietly and watched him fish, as tears ran down my face. This went on for several minutes, SEVERAL Minutes, NOT just a blink and then he was gone. After he faded away, I smelled his smell ALL week long and I was floating on air. A very precious moment to me, as my Daddy and I both have a sincere love for the water, fishing and mother nature.

 Have you had multiple experiences?   Yes    I have had MANY experiences in my home which my father and I lived for over 20 years together. He was my best friend, as well as my Daddy. I am 51 yrs old, and have had paranormal experiences since I was 4 years old. Since his passing in 2011, I have seen him standing in our kitchen, plain as day. I also right after his death, had him standing behind me and placing his hand on my shoulder twice. In addition, soon after his passing, I was telling my fiancé that I think I may want to move into his bedroom for some peace. We were having this talk on our porch, and when I cam e in the house to get something out of his room (I kept his door closed after his passing)...I reached to open the door, and before I could get my hand on the knob, it opened up wide by itself. As if to say, 'Come on in, and use my room now.' It WAS NOT Wind that opened it, as all the door and windows were closed. AND the carpet came up so high against the bottom of the door, that it was always hard to push open. Now for the best part, I have ORBS in my home almost nightly. We have Simply Safe Cameras in each room and in the middle of the night, when we wake to let the dogs out, we have saved over 50 videos of Orb action. It's really something to see.
