Possible Psychic needs help

    Okay, my story is long and vast, but I'll try to keep it concise as possible. I started having paranormal experiences of varying degrees since I was about ten, and have been on and off for the last 17 years.
    My first experience was on a ghost tour in London as a boy. We visited a house that harboured a ghost of a baby and it's mother. Reports of the baby crying were not out of the ordinary. I know so because I could hear it as the tour was in progress! It wasn't until we returned to our coach that she told us the story of the dead baby, and I raised my hand to tell them that I heard it. Nobody else on the 50 seater bus heard a thing. My mother discounted it as childs play, but I cried and cried every night for a week.

    Since then, I dabbled in a few different disciplines of channelling, looking to see how I could develop my 'talent'. To cut a very long story short, I have on occasion, noticed shadows and blurs fly around people. To me, they look like when someone takes your picture and the flash slightly blinds you. I can't focus on them, or sense too much about who or what they are but I can see them move around people on rare occasions.

    I briefly had a psychic instructor in college when I attended and every blur that I saw, she saw, and described it the same way I saw it. She also explained my heavy headaches on my forehead as being my third eye opening, which was great relief as I thought these blurs and headaches were just simple migranes. I knew that they were not however as I could turn them on or off with a bit of concentration.

    Very rarely the topic of mediums or psychics might come up in conversation, and immediately my headaches would start up. It was like it got a kick start. Words or pictures would always flash in my head like an alarm clock going off, distracting me more and more until I write down (using automatic writing sometimes) the message. I always knew who to give it to. Almost never would the message make sense to the person. It would usually a name or diverse place or something unique. I'd always meet the people who I gave messages to a month or two later and the message almost always made perfect sense.

    I don't know what's going on, or even if it's all in my head, but when I pass the messages out, the headaches stop. Has anybody even come close to this sort of behaviour??? Would anybody be willing to be read person to person? I'm not looking for cash obviously, but I just want answers and help, as this isn't going away anytime soon.

    Thanks for reading my long post!

    p.s. I have tons of good paranormal stories from my life if anybody wants to hear then.

    just going by the time you posted this, the topic must be playing on your mind (no pun intended) quite a bit as of late?

    the incident that happened as a child on the ghost tour could be imagination, i know i was fairly impressionable around that age too.

    the rest though, i think a lot of people have this sixth sense, but maybe not as visual as you seem to have it, would the blurs and shadows you see denote a certain behaviour type or attitude in the person or is it a rare occurance or oddity?

    the headaches would concern me, but if you're in dublin anytime soon i'd be willing to volunteer for a reading, hopefully someone with more experiance on this topic and these forums will reply to ye too :)

    Galway psychic, from what you say, it could well be that you have a Mediumistc ability trying to emerge.

    The psychic can sense what is around an individual and pertaining to them.

    The medium can sense 'deceased' loved ones - usually - around an individual and can 'converse' with them to ask who they are, what relationship and what purpose they are here for.
    The medium can give great comfort as well as easing the pain of bereavement, by describing the communicating person. It usually dawns on the individual that their 'lost' loved one is still entirely alive, which could open up a vast new universe for them.

    Opening the ability needs some help though.

    Hi OP. Interesting post. :) It doesnt sound to me like your ability worries you in a big way (apart from the headaches) which is good. That's always a good position to move on from. It does sound though as if it is a little out of your control at the moment, and it might help to gain a little more of a handle on it.

    It sounds so simple, but the key to control is meditation. The more you relax and just 'be' inside your own mind, the more you will understand what is going on, and how to build on it, and more importantly, stop it when you dont want it. You do have that ability to shut it off within you, youve already done it a bit by the sound of it. I cant offer any advice on any particular discipline of mediation, just go with whatever appeals to you.

    If you want to develop it, start with reading whatever books on the subject appeal. Meet people involved in psychic/mediumistic areas. You will find it confusing for a time, thats inevitable. Just take from all you hear what works for you, and discard what doesnt. Over time you will develop your own sense of it, no one person can tell you what this is all about, you will discover it for yourself.

    There are resources out there to help, and people on this site who would be happy to advise or just compare stories. But mainly, all I can advise for now is relax, whats happening is not wacko, you are not crazy, its happened to loads of others too. Just accept all this as part of you, and dont worry about it. Its a wonderful thing to have, and hopefully will bring you joy as well as puzzlement.:)

    point number one- id say go to a doctor, just to be on the safe side. not strying to scaremonger,but better to be safe etc etc :)

    number two,read up as much as you can.

    point three- find yourself a mentor.


    good luck ^_^

    thanks all for the replies. I think that I have a control on it, as in I can turn it off. I am interested in fully developing my mediumistic skills. Searching the net can be a pain in the arse as there's too much fake stuff out there. I prefer to develop my skills by meeting people face to face. Thanks everyone so far for your advice!

    Yes, a mentor is what I'm looking for!

    I wasnt going to mention, as I feel like a shill for the place,:) but as youve mentioned mediumship, Arthur Findlay College in Stansted is a good place to try if you want to develop your ability in a structured way.

    Welcome to the forum Galway Psychic,

    First, I'd just echo the suggestion that you should consult your doctor regarding your headaches, it could be quite risky to assume that they're just connected to whatever paranormal things you experience, better to be safe than sorry after all.

    The blur you mention seeing around people sounds very much like auras, they do look very much like the type of afterimages you describe. With practice you can learn to see them in more detail. There's plenty of info about them on the forum if you do a search.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Galway Psychic


    To clarify a few details... My headaches are controlled at will, I can turn them on or off usually at will and the pain is always where my third eye is. When my eye is open, I see the blurs. I don't think that they are auras as they aren't usually connected to people. I can see them in corners of rooms doing nothing, or mostly at the left or right shoulder of a person, like a loved one checking up on them! The 'headaches' aren't that bad but if they won't go away, I'll seek medical advice.

    Anyone got insight to the blurs mentioned above standing behind people???

    I dont physically see blurs or anything, but spirit people I sense always seem to position themselves behind either shoulder of the person they are with.

    Hey there, I cant believe its been so long since I've heard from you!

    Anyway, you can come down to the clinic (yes i have a whole clinic now:D) and we can have a chat and I can put you in touch with a few really good people round Galway.

    I'm running a dowsing and divination workshop in about 2 weeks time if its something you're interested in too. Some pendulum work can really help clarify what some of the messages and "blurs" etc really are, who they're for and why. I know its helped me over the years to figure out whats going on and why from time to time things pick up all of a sudden like they have been recently.

    A lot of friends of mine and myself have been going through a bit of a rollercoaster when it comes to this stuff lately, especially the last month or two, but things seem to be calming down so dont worry too much if things have been a bit nuts lately.

    For everybody who doesn't know, lilRedSmurf was my 'instructor' in college who i mentioned before. Whenever my third eye went daft, so did hers! Apparently, there's a unified feeling amongst people who are suceptable to the other energies. It flows in ebbs and tides, and I can understand this. I just clarification as regards what or who the blurs are, and I need more info as regards my third eye.....

    Sometimes, when I am talking to certain people, my third eye kicks open, having been laying dormant for years, and a message shouts to my inner mind... No matter what happens, the whole outer world to me just blocks out until I manage to tell the person who I am talking to, the message that just appeared. I can make no sense of the certain message, and neither can they, but usually in a few weeks, it makes total sense.....

    p.s. in a private note to lilredsmurf... can't remember if I told you but in a previous reading we read out the word "evelen" and then "eleven"... I am sure you remember this time... turns out Evelyn is the name of my son's mammy! there was my 'validation' that I wasn't going mad!


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    There are ways of working through who or what you are seeing, Ive done similar with people who are not developed at all, or seeing blurs, who were just sensing 'stuff'. It would be hard to explain it fully here, but it involves just relaxing and allowing yourself the freedom to just go with what you sense in your mind. It can help you get a better grasp of any information, rather than a random set of words or images. And its really easy as you have no pressure to be 'right' you just go with it, its usually fun. Maybe youve done it already with someone like lilredSmurf (btw Hi lilredSmurf...:))

    Do they move around with your field of vision or do they stay associated with things in the world e.g. corners of rooms. Do they seem to have a location in space that you can walk around?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Galway Psychic


    they are usually stationary like an everyday object or a person. I have seem them move around rooms quite quickly but it's difficult to focus on them as it's not a solid object. If the blurs were moving to my vision, I realize that would be a medical issue! Oh, skeptical one... Hard as it may be to believe... I regard myself an athiest and a sceptic until I can prove without doubt to myself that this isn't a delusion! It's been happening for years so I'm willing to see if it's real. Right now I'm 50/50 on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,718 ✭✭✭SkepticOne


    they are usually stationary like an everyday object or a person.
    So if there's one in a room, you can leave the room and come back and it is in roughly the same position? Do they tend to move along with something else e.g some object in the room when moved causes the blur to move? Do they react to things moving in the room?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Galway Psychic


    good questions! Um, I never really left a spirit in a room and came back before, with the exception of one time I got freaked out by a black blur in one room in a house years ago. It never moved, so yes to the first question. The only thing I saw spirits react to is to someone talking to them. They'll move, come and go if asked from what I believe. Like humans, they'll only do that if they don't mind doing so. Having spirits attached to objects I haven't seen. Before.

    I see that a lot. If there's something of a not so nice persuasion floatin about the place and i want to get rid of it i just get pissed off and shout at it if it wont go when i ask it to at first.

    I think its got far more to do with the strength of the intention tho. I've seen with others that if they tell something to go or are trying to clear a room but in they're head they're thinking "i want to get rid of that but oohh... wonder what it is / who it was / what it wants etc." It nulls the intention and it wont go when they tell it to.
    (btw Hi Oryx!!!:D)
