It was a few weeks ago the most recent weird thing, my Spotify as I was chatting to my eldest was stuck on a song “Eloise.” I said out loud why has it jammed?
Carried on chatting and opened my facebook on phone and Sussex police said they found the body of a missing teen…. Eloise.
Such a rare name, we sat here shocked at what was that all about. But I listen to that song daily now to remember her soul.

I once woke up in the middle of the night to a very deep humming vibration outside my window. When I looked out side there was a big black cloud hovering by my window. That whole week I had strange dreams with symbols and sounds and colours I can't describe. It felt like I was downloading codes or some kind of information. By the end of that week I manifested 100k through a lottery win.

I met my fiancee with the help of the Fae.

Yeah, yeah... I know all the usual stuff. Don't make trades without being super careful etc. But I'm pretty certain I've been blessed with benevolet Fae who seem to be invested in my well-being for whatever reason. All I really did was listen to their music and pick up on clues and information they left for me which caused me to make decisions that led me to the right open mic night in the right city at the right time. I'm very grateful.

When I was 6, one night I refused to sleep in my bedroom because the "bad man was out there." My mom let me sleep on her floor in her room across the hall. The next day the bodies of a family were discovered unalive. Their house was a few blocks away from my house in the direction my bedroom window faced.

I have tea with my mother and grandma several days a week. It's our catch up. I pour them each a cup of tea, grandma's china, and I sit with them and listen to their wisdom.

Knowing my cat would pass away 6 months before he did and why it was happening. Pregnancy increased my natural gifts exponentially I guess. I’d never had such a strong download and I wasn’t even spiritual at the time or realizing that’s what was happening. This was about 4 years ago now.

Occasionally I see a white cat run from the hallway through the living room door and behind the piano. We do not have any cats in the house. It is a ghost cat.

My vet disclosed to me that she had psychic abilities during a routine acupuncture for my senior dog. She seemed really distracted and then proceeded to tell me that she sees people that “are no longer with us”. She described three people that were in the room with me that were very much like people I had known in life. I was really skeptical at the time and asked her if this was her side hustle. She said no, it caused her too much anguish to not give people the answers they wanted to hear. .

A bored young boy in a yellow jacket sitting in a car seat, tied to weird things people experienced
My nephew was in my car when he was about 4-5, he had a can of Doritos 3D (early 2000s). He started hitting the can and yelling, “GET OFF MY RITOS, MAN!!!” And kept hitting it. I said who are you talking to?! He said some man trying to take his chips. We pull up at my Moms house and a picture of my Grandad was sitting in a table. He pointed right to that pic and said, “ THAT’S the man that was on my Ritos!!!” He passed away the year before…

I see fetches and ghosts trail after me. I once had a wild fox crawl into my lap while contemplating opting out of life, the fox had her kits in my lap. I took that as a sign. A year later I had a child of my own.

My shepherd who passed in April came to me while I meditated, and psychically knocked me over with excitement. He came back to my husband a few days ago by knocking past his legs when he was watching tv.

My mother always told me I was a writer, but I didn’t believe her. Then, 2years after she passed, I had a chance to author a book about my city, and did it because I desperately needed the $. One day, when I was working on it & it was flowing, I suddenly felt my mother right behind me. If I had turned around I would have seen her. I laughed and said: Yeah, Mom, you’re right- I’m a writer. (Since written 8 more!)

My freshman year of high school, I had a very off day. I felt like I was watching the day from above, starting around 10 am. We got a call later that night that my great grandpa had passed that morning.
