Unusual Experiences: Do I Have Psychic Abilities?

To all the Readers:

Allow me to share my story about paranormal experiences. Just to give you a brief background, my name is Angelo. I live in the Philippines and I believe ghost stories are very much known here in our country. I just really need help for me to know the EXPLANATION/S regarding my paranormal experiences (if they really can be counted as paranormal).

Since I was a child, I never believed that ghosts are real but when I was about thirteen or fourteen, I started seeing things that people usually don't see. My first encounter was when I was in our high school music building. We were having rehearsals in the choir. I was the pianist. I was actually busy rehearsing the group when I saw a figure, who was I believe a girl wearing a long white gown walking as if her feet were not touching the ground, passed by the door. Curios as I was, I stood up and went out to check who that young lady was. To my surprise, nobody was there. I even checked the area and nobody was there.

From that day on, I started hearing and seeing or feeling or should I say sensing many forms of unnatural entities. I can see people in black and in white, I can see shadow, I can feel somebody's presence as if that somebody is staring at me, I can smell strange odors accompanied by sightings of smoke even if nothing is being burned or cooked. I also experience ghostly manifestations in the light bulb. I can also hear voices which other people don't hear.

Another experience of mine was so strange that I even got scared because it happened when I was sleeping. In the middle of my sleep, my eyes suddenly opened and I knew I was awake, I am aware of my sleeping position, I was aware of what I was wearing that time, I was even aware of the time. I tried to get up from bed when I realized that I was feeling so light that it was so easy for me to sit up. I just felt or see that even though I was already seated, my body was still lying down. I got frightened and I laid back to my body at once. After some hours, I got awakened again, and I was back to normal.

Another strange thing I am experiencing is that when I see a person, I can easily tell his/her personality. I would usually speak as if I knew him/her for so many years. I can speak about the likes and dislikes of the person by simply looking at the person (but not the picture). I can also feel if a person has good heart or bad intentions.

I hope this site may help me understand on why I am experiencing things like this. I need to have a deeper understanding and acceptance to these paranormal experiences. Thank you and God Speed.
