Seeing signs from deceased loved ones

Hi everyone. I'm sure that there have already been many forum threads on this topic, but I'm really curious to hear about your experiences.

When you lost someone close to you, did you see signs? I've heard of feathers, electronic disturbances etc. but I've never had a conversation in the real world with anyone about it.

I'm not exactly an atheist - my boyfriend says I'm an agnostic atheist or something...in other words, I don't subscribe to any organized religion, but can accept that we just don't have very many answers to a lot of things, so I'm open.

I just find this all very interesting! I'm really not the kind of person to believe in any of this kind of stuff, but I will share the things that I have experienced (and a few things my sister has mentioned)

The last day my mother was alive, my sister went to say good bye with her children. She said that when she left the hospital, across the street there was loud jazz music playing from someones house. It startled her, because jazz was my mothers favourite. Throughout her illness I would play her jazz music on my phone. In her last couple of days I asked her for special requests and she said "Charlie Bird" (a jazz musician).

The day after she passed my sister noticed a white feather in her jacket. I had heard about the feather phenomenon, but didn't say anything to her. She wasn't aware of any kind of meaning. It was just funny to me, she offhandedly said "where did this feather come from?" or something like that...I just shrugged. But I never forgot it.

At my mothers funeral and visitation, I played music by Charlie Bird on my bluetooth speaker. A week later I popped into a second hand store, and right above the cash was a Charlie Bird record. 

I have witnessed some weird bird activity outside my condo townhouse. There aren't many birds in the area, a few crows, robins and various small birds here and there. But mostly squirrels. A few times since she has passed I have heard a loud gathering of birds right by my house. Hundreds of them in a tree, or on the ground right by my deck, making quite the racket. One time my boyfriend noticed and he said "wow, that's weird...we don't normally see birds here". I teared up and said "it's my mother". 

I've had weird experiences suddenly smelling things that aren't there, one time it was peaches and another time strawberries. The best way I can describe it is like a halucination only with smelling not visual. I've never had that before she passed. She used to make peach pies when they were in season, and she was obsessed with buying strawberries every week.

Sorry if this is a bit long. I hope some of you will share some of your experiences.

  • Hello Serapine

     

    My mum passed away on 26th May 2017, she was my best friend and I dearly miss her every day.

     

    I often mentioned to my mum jokingly if anything should happen to give me a sign, and I believe she did 5 months after she passed.  I’d been out with my son that day and when I parked up to drop him off home he said look mum there’s two butterflies on the wing mirror. I thought this was quite unusual   

    especially when they flew off and then came back and landed on the wing mirror again, all of a sudden my son shouted look mum in front of you and to my amazement there was a swarm of butterflies hovering in front of my car definitely trying to get my attention. They were like that for quite a few minutes. I said to my son this has to be some sort of sign from my mum, it was simply an amazing spectacular experience and I felt so at peace and honoured.  This experience was  very unusual as it was a dull cold October day , there didn’t seem to be anyone passing in the street and as quickly as it happened all the butterflies flew away together and just quickly disappeared , they had vanished just like magic.

     

    I’ve had quite a lot of things that have happened to me, I started singing a song that was played at my dads funeral at work, the lights started to flicker and when I stopped singing the lights also stopped, so I started to sing again and the same happened. I asked one of the caretakers if the lights needed new bulbs and he said they were fine as they were only checked a couple of days prior.  

     

    I do do believe that love ones who have passed do try and get in touch somehow especially if you have a strong bond or connection with them.  

     

    I will mention other experiences I have had for another time

  • HI sarah, 

    Aww thats lovely. Thats your mum saying shes ok and not to worry. I have a gift i see signs of things before they happen and can see peoples Auras. 

    Ive had many things happen I can smell my nanas perfume she comes to sit with me all the time (which is lovely cos i miss her) and sometimes I can hear my dogs that have passed on the kitchen floor (walking) 

    Ive also had music signs for about a week everytime i got in the car puff daddy " I'll be missing you" played . Other peoples dogs come up to me for a fuss and the owners say "he has never done that before he normally doesnt like people."

    Before my dog Jake died there were orbs everywhere it was like an orb disco, not scary i felt this sense of love it was overwhelming  i'd like to think that was my family coming over for him so he wasnt alone. The same happened with Lola my other dog that was very poorly last year .

    After my grandad and grandmar died (within days of each other) two pigeons sat on my dads bedroom window for about a week, we have never had that before. We think it was them just coming back 

    I believe when your loved ones die their family come to collect them, its not the end, the body is tired but the spirit lives on x

  • Hiya

    What are the books called please??

  • Hi, In response to your post I have experienced the strangest things since my father died in 2018. Only 3 weeks after he died I was breastfeeding my 2 half yr old it was about 6pm summer and bedroom was bright. He pulled off me and waved looking behind me. I casually said what you doing he said grandad is saying hello waving. I looked saw nothing. He then stopped waved again and said he waved goodbye. Soon after that 3 toys which he had started singing randomly only at ngt. I'd turn switch off and it start again. I didn't know what to think. Continuing to today I find feathers in my home and his smell comes in HSE on at least a weekly basis. Clocks stop, start, my phone volume when I'm listening through headsets goes loud, low and I have not touched it. Thought I would share that it gives me comfort.

  • Hello Sarah 

    I hope you still look in on this site ? 
     

    I lost my eldest sister to cancer on may 15 th 2020 

    since then maybe a week later I came home from work and there in the middle of my hall way there was a white feather !

    thought nothing of it , but weeks later while laying in bed late at night I felt the temperature in my bedroom drop considerably. I checked thermostat which was set at 18c and central heating was working fine but temperature was clearly colder ? I wrapped up went to sleep and when I woke in the morning my home was cosy and warm , in short the next phenomenons to follow were tv switches it's self on at 3 am I went to the toilet and everywhere was dark and quiet, came out of toilet tv on , another time walked to my bedroom to go to bed pushed door upto the frame so closed walked to my bed turned off bedside lamp sat on bed and instantly noticed door half way open . Other occurrences was laying in bed around 4.30 am and heard bedroom door creek opened my eyes and door was open but I had closed it fast on the catch ? . Also had a dream I think a dream as at the time it felt like a vision , I was laying on the bed and suddenly saw a white light with a gold light in the middle and felt like I was being pulled away from the light and at the same time heard my body sliding across the bed sheets . 
    I was my sisters youngest brother and lived with her 4 years prior to her passing and we had built up a special bond in that time so I have no doubt she is visiting me . Once I lost her I sat in a quiet moment and spoke to her and said she will always be safe and welcome in my home as I was hers and I do believe she heard me

    If you are thinking this all sounds far fetched I moved into my home in January of the same year and upto the point of her passing I had no experiences at all of this nature before she left us.

    I hope this helps you clarify some of experiences you have been through Sarah 

    Kind regards Adam 

  • Ah thank you, merry Christmas just thought I'd share my experiences. Never had it before now but I receive my visits with an openind.

  • My husband just passed away over a week ago I'm devestated and I need to know can he still see me hear me etc is he trying to talk to me will he try talk to me. Can you help me on what to look out for listen for or what can I do to reach him

  • Hey Andrea, oh I'm so sorry but I have no doubt he is still with you... our loved ones, I believe keep a close eye on us even when they've left us. There are so many things and feelings that can represent spirit communication. They love to mess with electrics so watch your lights and tv stuff like that... they could come through on a song on the radio... maybe a feeling of someone touching you on the shoulder...or a whisper or someone saying your name with no one around. A bird or butterfly maybe, could be something linked with the person you've lost something that connects the two of you. It could be a smell, their smell for example in they smoked cigars you would smell cigar smoke when it couldn't have come from anywhere else. Some of it may sound completely bonkers and you'll wonder if it's really happening, if it's real but every time I know it is by the feeling in the pit of my stomach... it's a feeling like no other. It's the feeling of just knowing. When something strange happens and then you'll think of that person and you'll just know it's them. It's a beautiful feeling. If you want to make contact with them you could always try a spiritualist they usually have at least one in towns, some are bogus but if you want to see one, go on word of mouth, talk to those who have used them they will be able to point you in the right direction. If you are lucky to find a genuine one it can do wonders. I haven't been able to bring myself to go yet but will one day. Have you experienced anything like what I've touched on? They're so many ways they could come through but these are just a few that I find are quite common. I hope you hear from him soon if you haven't already x 

  • My dad passed away last week but ever since his passing we have noticed a robin that appears every morning to say hello. I'm taking it as a sign of dad telling us that hes ok and that hes at peace. Robins appear when loved ones are near!!
