I'll start by introducing myself. I'm 17, my name is Amanda, I prefer Mandy and my family, mother's side, has a history of being able to sense and see spirits,heal, and have premonitions. My great grandmother was a very religious women yet she was also in a way considered a good witch as she could heal people, how?I'm not sure. I, personally, think that is the reason why it runs in my family.
Please keep in mind that I am not crazy, I have looked for and found reasonable, though possibly not completely accurate,explanations.The following experiences are ones that, no matter how hard I try, I CANNOT find an explanation. (Mainly the voices, shadows and smells that are possible to explain if you do not immediately assume its a spirit.)
My first experience happened back when I was 6 years old. I remember clearly, that I had a dream of seeing a car driving down a road with a curve in it. It was raining in my dream, as the car was rounding the curve I heard the tires screech as the car slipped and crashed into a tree. The car was absolutely destroyed.
As the dream ended I saw that the driver was a woman, I somehow saw her drivers license and her name, respecting her and her family's privacy I won't say her name, the number of the route it happened at, and the car's license plate.
Two days later, I had entered the kitchen and my parents had simply stared at me oddly. My dad had been reading the newspaper, the morning after I had the dream I told them both, and they were absolutely shocked to see the same exact license plate, route number, name and the car had hit a tree just like in my dream. Sadly the woman passed away at 22 all those years ago.
My second experience was when I was around 14. I was at home alone with my chihuahua dog, my sister was at a friend's house and my parents were working. I was heading to my room when, straight ahead of me in the hallway, I saw a shadow dart downstairs and my dog followed it wagging his tail.Now,being the animal lover I am, I feared for his safety and followed him. When I got downstairs and into the kitchen, no one was to be seen and my dog was looking around as if he was looking for a friend. Whatever it was it didn't seem to want to cause harm.
The experiences I have with hearing voices. There are many but I will limit myself to one this time. This was recent actually, it was yesterday, I had been lying down on my bed and I simply heard my name being called. It sounded like my grandfather, who has been dead for years now. Speaking of him, when he died, I became incredibly sick, I refused to eat. My parents had taken me to a lady and she said that I was my grandfather's favorite and he was unknowingly taking me with him, maybe that might have something to do with these experiences.
The smelling is self-explanatory. I smell perfume, cologne, beer, whatever scent I usually smell when that person is near me, I for some reason smell it an estimated 5-10 minutes before they arrive, expected for a visit or when they randomly show up.
Also this is slightly unrelated but my favorite animals are horses and my parents always tell me this story. Apparently when I was 5 my dad bought a horse that was very wild it didn't let any of the ranch hands near it. One night my parents went to check up on me and I wasn't in my bed or anywhere in the house. They went out to the stable and found me asleep in the wild horse's stall fast asleep and my father said the horse reacted the way all stallions do when they are protecting their foals.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. If any of you have advice on any of these or any idea about what any of this means and how to help me expand my knowledge of this please comment and tell me I will be forever grateful.
