Do you know any non-believers who have been forced to believe?

Hi Jolene I've seen things from a very young age and all through my childhood and teenage years my Dad would tell me not to be silly or just laugh at me. Three years ago my Mother died and he believes now, as he has seen her several times, and had articles moved around the house. For instance he laid out clean clothes on the bed in the front bedroom, and when he went to change into them later his shirt had disappeared. He searched everywhere and finally got another shirt from the wardrobe and wore that. When he came back home the original shirt was folded up lengthways and laid along top of the radiator in the hall. Mum had Alzheimers and and had started to fold things lengthwise and drape them on the tops of the radiators. I think that was her letting him know she was still around. Another time he woke up and found Mum lying next to him on top of the duvet. When she got up and walked away there was an indent in the fabric where she'd been which gradually flattened out. Another time he was looking at an ornament in a glass fronted cabinet when he saw Mum's reflection in the glass as if she'd walked behind him, but when he turned around there was no-one there. Sometimes he sees her sitting beside him on the sofa (once she asked him if he wanted a cup of tea. He said no thanks love, I've just had one). What would have happened if he'd said yes? Could she have made one? He's also had Mum lean over his chair and kiss him on the face. He's also seen Mum with a lady with long black hair and wearing a dark dress. I'd seen Mum with her as well several times during meditation and although we agreed on the description, neither Dad or I knew who it was, so next time I saw them together I asked who it was. Mum told me it was my 2 x great grandmother, who along with my great grandmother had brought Mum up until she was about 7-9 years old. I'd never met the lady, who had died long before I was born. Strangely, a few months after Mum passed I had a telephone reading with a medium and he picked up Mum and the lady, saying that her name was part of the name Elizabeth, but it wasn't Beth. I later found out that her name was Eliza. Since then Dad saw his older sister a few days after she passed. He was in bed still awake when he saw just her head and shoulders very close to him. She looked him in the face, smiled and vanished. Since then he's twice seen a man in the house, wearing a dark coat. We've no idea at all who he is. I saw a man once, as a teenager, he was coming down the stairs as I went up and he made me jump so much I had to grab the bannister to stop myself falling. Mum's passing seems to have triggered something in Dad that wasn't there before, although he did fairly recently admit to hearing heavy footsteps most nights passing right across the living room ceiling into the front bedroom. Another person who I wouldn't say is a proper believer now, but can't explain this away rationally is my husband. About 5 months after Mum died, my husband and I visited Dad down in Kent. Previous to this my husband had bought a wide,silver ring set with a stone, from Glastonbury. He wore it down at my Dad's, but the day before we were due to go home and were packing our cases the ring went missing. We both agreed that it had been on top of the chest of drawers that evening, but after looking under the bed, other furniture, the suitcases, trouser pockets, shirt pockets to no avail told Dad who said he'd have a look and send it on when he'd found it. When we got home, we searched the cases again and garment pockets - nothing! About 3 or 4 days later, we were both upstairs and my husband walked into the bedroom. Suddenly he shouted "Well ...... me!! Look at this." 'This' was the silver ring that had been lost in Kent and was now sitting on top of the chest of drawers in our bedroom. "I bet that's your Mother" he said "because I said I don't believe in things like that." I think it probably was, she'd have enjoyed that. Yes, it is extremely difficult when people call you names for it, and throw stones at you when you're walking to school. As a child I just assumed everyone was the same - unfortunately not and I was bullied most of my schooldays and into adulthood as well. Thankfully people are much more understanding now. You're certainly not crazy or mad (or if we are there are certainly a lot of us about). A lot more people see things or have premonitions than don't I would think. At work there were 5 of us at one time who had seen or heard something.

hi there. my ex was a big time sceptic until he moved in with me. he was forced to believe after he experienced the fan heater/television/anything randomly electrical switching itself off. he has never mocked the paranormal since then. people who don't believe are just ignorant. they don't realise there is a bigger picture. now i am in no way religous but i still believe in life after death.

Hi I was a non believer but open minded. We were having problems with some neighbours, loud music, banging doors anti social behaviour the lot. Anyway we were in Glastonbury and we were on the Tor and got chatting to this bloke and we said about the neighbours. He said he was a Wiccan and he thought four thieves vinegar would be a good idea we were polite and he wtote the recipe down. We both laughed about it on the way home but as the problems went on I dug out the recipe and made the 4 thieves vinegar and I swear it worked as it was brewing. Any hoo I started looking in to Wicca and Witchcraft and I am now into my fith year as a Witch. Many Blessings. X X X X Oh yes I did find the man I laughed at and apologised.
