Why is it that so many people experience the same
phenomena? …Common fears? … Universal trauma? …
or is it that the occurrences are so similar because they
are the true workings of the “other side”. I personally
have never had the “shadow man”experience, the
feeling of being watched and waking up to a figure or
shadow over the bed. Sometimes these are perceived
to be the spirit of a loved one watching us and protecting
us, other times they are believed to be a spirit of evil that
our waking has chased off. These beings, good or bad
seem to be a common
thread in many countries and across many religious fields.
They do not seem to discriminate between old and young,
new homes or old, Christian, Muslim, Jew or Pagan.
If you talk to friends or relatives, you will be surprised at just how many people have seen
them.
Members here at MCPI also have had these experiences, in some cases being the reason
they “ghost hunt” today. I have asked many questions of them and one common thread
appears. It is the moment between asleep and awake, when the eyes are fuzzy the brain not
quite clear. This is where my theory is based, in the relaxed state of mind that I, as a
sensitive do my best work. I find that when I am in true clear communication with the spirits
around us, it takes place during the most relaxed times of my “zone”. I do not find it
necessary to be in full meditative trance; for the most part, it can just be when I am very
comfortable. So here, we are now between asleep and awake, when we are going in or
coming out of sleep. Our brains are drifting out or coming into conciseness. This is the time
when our minds and bodies are most relaxed, and when I believe, the line can be blurred.
Every person believer and skeptic alike has the ability to contact or be contacted by “the
other side”, it only matters whether you adhere to belief or skepticism, as to its occurrence.
With my sensitivities, I know the other side does exist, and so it is with this in mind I continue.
At the crossroads of sleep in all of our brains, and when they are at their most relaxed, the
communication happens. See, I hold that in the most relaxed state of mind, is when the
spirits are most clear. The worlds blend and the shadows appear, as we all have the ability at
this time to see through the veil. Therefore, in that moment when the veil is thin we see the
“other side”. They are always there, around us at all times. They are in
some cases as aware of us as we are of them, so as we free from sleep they may appear, for
that is when the barrier is at its frailest.
The contact is brief but very intense, a rush of “was that just grandma?” and your heart and
spirit rise. Maybe grandma knew you were down and she felt she could help, so she waits
until the wall is down and comes through to try. It can also be that we crave that touch one
more time that our will, our need actually calls the departed to us. This is where the skeptics
will say it is not the spirit of a lost soul but the wish and hope of a living one creating an
image in the minds eye. They are entitled to their own opinion and I welcome it, I to believe
that at times that does happen. We at times want so much that we create. It is a sort of
hypochondria maybe, a way for some to deal with loss. The pain is so great it must be them.
However when the spirit comes through there will be a difference. I have met former skeptics
who now believe due to such an experience.
There are also the not so good spirits the ones who wish to scare and demoralize, they use
this time as well. They may use it as a tool to scare us further, to wear us down. Lack of
sleep or restless sleep can drive the human spirit down and then the bad guys are free to do
as they wish, create terror, instill fear or worse. We are at our most vulnerable, when our
sleep has been compromised. I have seen and read many cases of a haunted dwelling
where the occupants were most afraid at night around bedtime. There are even more, where
the problems occur during sleep periods and the persons are wakened to the flights of these
spirits, often so terrified they cannot return to sleep. Still more accounts tell of a child or an
adult rousing from sleep only to see the shadow man standing over
them. These experiences that span 100’s of years and countless backgrounds are real to
those that had them and those of us who believe. I am by no means stating every single one
is real it is probably more like 1 in 500, but that 1 is enough!
The light is harder to explain; on a whole, the light tends to be during waking hours when we
are coherent and moving about. These experiences are often played off as a trick of the
mind, or a missed opportunity to see what had happened. Of the two, this occurrence I have
had, walking down a street, sitting at your desk, in the back yard, out of the corner of your
eye you see it. A figure, a ball of light or a movement of leaves or bushes,
there seems to be someone or something that has caused it but that thing or one cannot be
seen. So what causes these? My friends I do not know. Perhaps it is that all of us are a little
sensitive to the other side, or perhaps it is that the other side is close to the veil on those
occasions.
Should we doubt that these occurrences are real? Maybe we should, and maybe we should
not, a very healthy dose of skepticism is needed at times, not every noise or movement is a
ghost. That being said, it does make it harder to prove that something really happened. The
easiest way is to trust that all that happens may, and I emphasize may, not be a trick of the
light it may be the other side, how and why I can’t tell you.
