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.

  • I came across this as I was googling the same thing.

    I lost my mum in March this year and my step dad a mere 16 days later. From the get go things started to happen.  My mum lived in the USA and her death was unexpected and sudden.  I woke up to a message saying she was gravely ill to her passing 13 hours later.  Thank goodness for FaceTime.  The night she passed I was lying in my bed just staring up at the ceiling trying to make sense of the whole day. I was traumatised to be fair.  I swear I saw gold glitter in the corner on my room coming down like rain.  Whilst trying to make sense of what I thought I saw I then caught something out of the corner of my eye in my dressing table mirror.  The following week whilst home on compassionate leave my dog would be right next to me on the sofa.  Her head would jolt up and she would track something walking past whilst sniffing the air. She's never done it before.  She still does it to this day but not as frequently.  She tends to stare in a particular corner where a photo of mum and step dad is.  A couple of days after her death I was in the car with my daughter and saw/heard a few weird things on the radio. I said mum if that's you play Mike and The Mechanics as The Living Years is significant within our family.  Two songs later as we are driving home I became aware that Mike and The Mechanics was playing, but not the living years.  I mentioned it to my daughter who said 'but mum, you didnt ask Nan what song to play, you only said to play Mike and The Mechanics' ... the song playing was silent running which has the words 'can you hear me calling you' in it.  That broke me.

    Other things that have happened are that my google home mini shouting out twice really loudly 'I'm sorry, I do not understand that' when nobody is by it.  The fan with a digital display keeps clicking between two temperatures.  The blink camera I bought due to the weirdness going on has captured white floating balls which aren't dust as they happen hours after we've gone to bed; plus I've caught the dog on it who pauses to look in that corner where the photo is and a white flash goes across the camera moments later.  As I was leaving my bedroom last week with my phone in my hand, the clock radio charging station shouted 'paired' which it only does when I place it on there to play music which you physically have to change it to.  There's been tension lately regarding not being able to get to the states due to covid restrictions and family wanting their house sold before I can get out there.  It's really upset me and the following night after I had words with my step sister the camera caught a big orb just after 3am. But some energy must've set the motion sensor off just before it.  The following night 'like a bridge over troubled waters' was played to me somehow in my sleep, I haven't heard that song in many years.  In fact it woke me up with me thinking why the hell am I hearing that.  If you listen to the lyrics it's about somebody helping someone through a difficult time.  My mum had it on vinyl when I was a young child.  Was it her saying you will get through all this; I'm here with you?

    So many things have happened that I can't explain and yet I still question it... is it them/mum?

    I just remembered that we kept seeing a sprit dog too.  Looked like my dog, same size and colour.  In fact we thought it was our dog but she was always somewhere else in the house.  My parents had a dog very similar to mine which died years ago.  Only started seeing it after they passed but not seen it for a while now.
