Ever since I can remember I have been able to see spirits. When I was younger I didn't understand it and I just thought it was my imagination. But when I would reveal things to my mom about hearing footsteps or seeing something out of the corner of my eye, she told me both her and my aunt can see spirits too.
Mostly I see them for a short period of time. Either I catch a glimpse out of the corner of my eye, or I see them for a split second as clear as day, or it comes as a picture in my head.
I see them all the time at my house and usually they're children but I can make out their facial features and clothes, height and hair color. It scares me though when I don't see detail and all I see is a black silhouette.
There was a time once I went to my mom's friend's house and I walked around and suddenly I saw an old poloroid picture in my head of 3 little kids dressed for Halloween, 2 girls and one boy and I got the feeling they were brother and sisters. I told my mom and her friend started crying and said her brother and sister were very close in age to her but her sister had recently passed.
That was one of the first times I'd seen something as a picture in my head before.
Sometimes spirits follow me, I had a little girl about 7 with ginger hair follow me everywhere for about 2 weeks. Sometimes I'd be sitting down and I could hear her whisper something in my ear and this scared me so bad because normally I can just see them and I don't hear them say things.
I was wondering how I can help all these spirits I'm seeing... Sometimes I even dream about them. How do I begin trying to help them?
You're probably more knowledgeable than you think you are, and the writing can help you get serious about it again. Make it a part of you, because it obviously is:)
And about helping them, it might just be that the spirits chose to be perceived in different ways to help you understand or learn something. Rather than being lost or in need of help.:)
