All Of My Life I Have Seen Spirits

All of my life I have seen, heard, felt spirits etc. Instead of constantly living in fear, screaming, and running away. I started learning and building my abilities. I am very much an amateur still, I guess you could say. I'm just trying to give you an idea of who I am. Anyway, I want to explain my situation below, but if you are limited on time. I will put my questions all the way at the bottom, so you can skip it the "blah, blah, blah" lol. Thx for your time xoxo

Two years ago, I went to Gettysburg Pennsylvania. One night my friend and I decided to walk on the battlefield at night. I believe it was open until 10PM, and we were walking on it around 9PM. It did not take more than 5 minutes before I seen a soldier, hiding behind a tree. I took picture of him, along with some other ones, and we ran in the car. When we got the pictures, we were in awe, that I had actually captured him. His features were so distinct, from his beard to his belt buckle. Actually he looked like Longstreet, is it a coincidence that we were standing by his monument 100 feet away? I have no clue! Either way. Ever since that period of time, I have been seeing spiders! Ha, weird.

The first night I got home, I was so happy to get a good night's rest. Needless to say, that especially did not happen in Gettysburg. That night, I was awoken to a huge spider crawling on me, and the man that I had seen on the battlefield was standing there watching. He stood there motionless, just watching the spider crawl up me. I literally could not move or speak, but when he left I was finally able to move. Needless to say that night ended with lots of screaming, and sleeping with all the lights on. I guess you never get used to it? Lol. Anyway, since then I have been seeing spiders everywhere, in the most unusual places. Those two things alone, as a natural skeptic, would not have me think twice. I would try to find 'logical' reasons for them. Lucid dreaming? Spiders are everywhere, and it is a coincidence". Ummm. Three times I have seen, what I can describe as oversized cobwebs all over the wall. No, I am not sleeping. I will be watching tv, and see this. It is illuminated, and each time it has formed even more. I've never seen anything like this, and before it 'forms' it looks like a bunch of orbs clustered together, and vibrating. I'm not even sure if that is what it is supposed to be, a cobweb? We are talking 5-8 ft. Luckily my brother and I were watching tv, when this happened the one time. It freaked him out. I felt better that I had someone to corroborate my experiences.

Question: 1.) Do spiders have a psychic/spiritual meaning?

2.) Do you think that there is a coincidence with the experience, of the solider? What is your opinion?

***Note: No, I have not seen the solider since, and no I do not feel threatened. I believe he left.

Thanks for your time!
