OK, somebody asked me before if I was sensitive or not (I think it was back when I first joined the board and had said something about ghost hunting). Anyway, how do I tell if I am sensitive or not and to what degree?

Here's the deal: I know that there are ghosts in my mom's house and the belief of one in my school's oldest building, but I never sense anything there (although on occasion when walking down the hall of that old building I will turn and look behind me). I sometimes smell things in my apartment that are not normal (perfume that is not used here or occasionally an electrical smell when nothing is wrong) but again, no sensitivity to what might be here. Could that be attributed to my knowledge (or believed knowledge) of the ghosts?

Here's what confuses me: There is a tree near the corner of a cemetary I pass by on my way to school. Sometimes as I pass by I get the feeling that someone is either sitting or leaning against that tree; other times I feel nothing. At no time have I seen anyone in that area of the cemetary. My grandparents are buried in that cemetary but on the opposite corner about a quarter-mile away.

Any thoughts?

Hi Kdogg, I hate to make guess's, I am def not a professional, but I am a sensitive. And at times its at different degrees with me, sometimes strong, weak?
So, I would guess that yes you are sensitive from what you wrote.
As I think most of us beleive we all have the ability, some just ignore it, or can't handle it.
I know that someone here can point you in the right direction on some reading that could help you understand it more and develop your gift.
Well, that is my opinion, I hope it helped. I know others will respond. I know certain people here that will know exactly what books to look for!
Hugs kiddo!

Sounds like you are sensitive to spirits around you Kdogg but I'm no professional either. I know there are some people who can always tell when ghosties are around. Go with your instincts is the best I can tell you. Here is a link that might help get you started, good luck =)

Sounds like you have something, if you're looking behind you.

Next time you pass that tree in the cemetary and get that feeling, get closer and see if you feel a cold spot, or a disoriented sensation. Or snap a photo and see if you get anything. I'm like you, I don't know what my degree of "sensitivity" is but I have had an off kilter/disoriented sensation in places where a ghost is around.

So, who else scored a 5 on that thing? Since I've been on this board & read alot of others posts I had come to the conclusion that I'm not as prone to ghost activity as others...

But, then there was a post I made(somewhere) about feeling like I might be an empath? And, then there are all those crazy dreams...

Being around others with similair things going on makes me feel a little less strange. For now I've been experiencing a kind of break. Like things are calmer in my life too.I think the exceptance here has been good for me.I'm more at peace now.

KDogg, I would have to agree w/all of the above. Maybe you are going to further explore this? If you do please tell us about it. & Good luck! =)

Everyone is sensitive or psychic to some degree or another. Some people are more naturally open and others learn to be more open.

If you want to be more sensitive then just practice. Trust your feelings and impressions. But don't push them.
If you don't want to be more sensitive then do nothing.
And if you want to be less sensitive then just ignore and block those feelings.
We all do these things, practice, block, ignore. We just view it as something natural to life.

Thanks everyone... Yes, I am definitely gonna investigate it further. I've only told one other person about the feelings (other than this board), and that was my sister. I mentioned it as a general comment, and while she is not "into" the paranormal stuff she does believe, and she also told me to take some pictures and see what happens. So that I intend to do (as soon as the weather clears up again). I will also check for cold spots and such when I go. Right now it's difficult to just stop and do something - usually I'm on my way to school and my mom rides with me for her classes. Not sure exactly what she would think....

About my sensitivity, I'm gonna work on that. I think I might have had it for quite some time (maybe my whole life?) but it has increased somewhat since my kids were born and even more when we almost lost one at birth. That might be something different altogether but it just seems to have worked that way.

Anyway, gonna go see what I can find out about this stuff. When I get a chance I will do the pictures, and yes, I will definitely post anything I find on here.

Thanks again!

KDogg
