Perhaps you have a room in your house that never quite feels right. Do you hear bumps in the night or see shadows out of the corner of your eye? Are you a medium or clairvoyant who can communicate with the ‘other side’?

I have had a few scary experiences, 1st was when I was aged 16 while in the car with my Mum & a friend. Mum was driving on a road we used often, it was a narrow road with many curves & blind bends. As we were approaching a particularly bad section of it I started to panic screaming at my mother from the back seat to slow down, fortunately she stopped & pulled over as 2 cars immediately came around the corner side by. Sadly years later I came into contact with someone who had been in the same situation on the same corner & she was severely injured leaving her in permanent palliative care, the local council has since fixed that road by taking out that bend as it was just too dangerous & had no room for error.
2nd time I was on my lunch break & decided to go to a local spot overlooking the ocean to read a book, I parked my car under the trees some distance from the edge of the cliff which was not fenced off. This car my family & friends refused to drive as they felt something was weird when they had done so before but I had no problem before this. I was still seated in the car when someone yelled at me that my car was rolling towards the cliff, when I looked up I realised they were right. The car was an automatic & definitely in PARK with the handbrake on but it kept moving. I put my foot on the brakes with no result and I was pretty scared by then. My last try to stop it was to turn the motor on and put it into reverse, luckily for me it stopped the car going forward or I would have been history over the edge. The odd part about it all was that the ground where I was parked was not sloped towards to cliff but instead was quite level.
I had my car checked out by a mechanic who went right over it when I told them what had happened but they could not find any fault in the car at all and could not explain why it had happened.
These are not the only things that have happened but they are the worst ones I have experienced, other times have been harmless such as electric appliances starting up during the night when everyone is in bed sleeping & strange noises I cannot find a reason for or sensing that there is something about to happen or someone is nearby but in reality there is no one there. I experience déjà vu a lot & quite often if I think about a person I have not seen for some time they suddenly contact me without reason. I also pick up on other people’s emotions which is distressing for me as I do not know how to prevent it & quite often I will break down after it happens. I also have odd dreams that are related to a future event, I don’t know that it’s a future event until something happens & I recall my dream about it. I know there is something that causes all this but I do not know how to control or prevent it happening let alone understand why.
I did have a near death experience some time ago but these things were happening before that & it has only increased since my close call with death.
