General Chat

A little while ago my wife left our 20 month son in the bathroom for a couple of minutes after taking him out of the bath. Whilst she was out of the room she heard him talking. She went into the room and she saw that he was staring at a particular point in the room. When she took him out she heard him say 'Bye Bye Grandad' and waved. His grandad had actually died when he was a little baby in 2003. Martin

Oh martin gave me goosebumps...but im sure there something in this....after my mum died i dreamed she was sitting on the end of the bed chatting to me..she looked so well and happy..sure that her way letting me know she ok and still with me.

Arghh...Little one's have an extra sence...I believe in it strongly..strange things that are unexplainable have happened to 2 of my daughters....nothing scary but odd. It's not the dead we should be afraid of...it's the living..!!

Martin, I totally believe in this, I had a similar experience with my daughter when she was about the same age. She was talking to a relative she had never even met, and probably not heard mentioned. I think it's nice to think there is something after this life and we will all meet up again, otherwise what's the point. Theresa

how lovelyhis grandad visited him!! my mum was told by a medium that my younger sister is visited in her dreams. its true, when i lived at home we shared a room and i would wake up to hear her talking and giggling, apparently she gets taken on a journey! x

Hi Martin, yes I personally believe in life after death, from my own personal experience. Ten years ago this Nov. my Dad died, and shortly afterwards I moved house to an area about 20 miles away, which he hadn't known about before he died. One evening whilst alone in the house, I felt a distinct presence in the kitchen with me. So strong I actually turned round expecting to see a physical body standing there, but the was nothing. I felt this presence with me and I knew it was my Dad from other signs which are personal to me, and the presence remained with me till the next morning. Also, at the point of his death, I felt completely at peace with myself, an experience that cannot be explained yet it was an experience and a peace I've never felt before, yet it wasn't till an hour later that my Mum rang and told me he had passed away. Later when I checked with the Hospice, my Dad had died at the time I felt the peace within myself. Since then my youngest Son who was four at the time, has often told me that Grandad has visited him to make sure that I am happy and ok. This happened only a few months ago. So yes, I do believe in life after death, but everyone has their own beliefs and ideas. Will be interesting to see what other replies you receive. Jan

Chris....now in English please...!

IMHO no there isn't

i Believe so.... when we moved into the house that we live in now i was only about 4 and i suddenly found an imaginary friend called Emily. Now i know that this isn't unusual but, it was my Nan's house and nan had nursed one of her sisters while she was ill until she died. That sister was Aunty Em! My mum still thinks that my 'friend' was Aunty Em, keeping an eye over her beloved family. c x

i really hope so i've so much to tell my mum when i see her on the other side.

My mother had a similar experience with my younger sister. she was about three and chatting away by herself in the bedroom. My mother just asked who she was talking to, not expecting much of a reply when the reply was that she was talking to Georgie, the man in the corner. Georgie (actually George) but nicknamed Georgie by all the family was my mothers brother who died many years before in a motorbike accident. He never knew of my sister. Strangely she has never mentioned him since.

Anybody who believes that the only life is here on earth is very naive in my opinion. Without doubt, life is a journey with many stops along the way.

How is it 'beyond doubt' ?

Paul I take it you don t believe? LOL

My family aren't religious. I don't believe in life after death. My grandfather did and my mum but nobody else does. Lucia :-)

My mother believed in it very strongly and as a teenager I used to argue with her about it - she always said 'When I die, I'll come back to you and prove it'. She died when I was 20 and 30 years later I am still waiting for her proof. Also my dad re-married and his second wife was a widow and they used to worry like mad about what would happen after they died i.e. which partner would they be re-united with and whether there would be any fights! Whatever is the truth we'll never know but what we do know is that the dead live on in our memorials, as well as in our genes, and family history can bring them all 'back to life'.

'without doubt' Paul, in my opinion and many others' who like me have had expierences of the un-explanable. Although i do appreciate that unless you have witnessed it yourself then of course you will be a non-believer.

i'm hoping that life does exist and that they do come back and visit as i need a bit of guidance as to where one of my relatives married in the 1700's. Just waiting for a clue as i'm not sure how many more parish registers my eyes can take!

Well I m in the thinking of 'seeing is believing'.

Has anyone had a NDE? :-) Lucia
