Give me a sign

My Father often told me when he Dies he will attempt if possible to send me a sign.

The day he died passed and that night I turned on the tv and went to bed, laying on my side.

I was wide awake and had only been in bed for a moment when I felt a hand on my thigh, another on my shoulder and it pushed me down with such force I literally bounced about an inch into the air.

Now was it my Father, or something evil I don’t know, but regardless it remains an incident that in my mind confirms that something is out there after we pass.

I have never experienced anything before or after but the physical force used pushing me was undoubtedly real.

Thank you for sharing that. It would be nice if others could share events in their life they view a s a sign. I will relate a couple of things that I have experienced. I may have already shared them here on this forum but will do so again.

This is more of a sign that I feel is fairly significant, but not on a personal scale. A Bi-polar person was explaining one of the reasons he believed in God. He said of all the World leaders the World has had, "Why is time by all nations, and even science measured by Jesus (AC/DC)'. 'Wouldn't it be more fitting for it to be measured by some great king or other event, rather than some poor Jewish carpenter boy'."

The second is more personal to me. I had a girlfriend who was bi-polar, we eventually got married and had a daughter. We have since divorced. At the time of this story we were still BF and GF. I was bringing her home and we were parked out in front of her parents house talking before she went in. While we were talking she found a necklace she was wearing was missing, it was very important to her. We looked all through the car and could not find it, I got a flashlight and looked again a couple of more times. She was getting very upset and wanted to pray about it, I went along with it. She finished her prayer and we started looking again and within seconds we found it right behind the seat where she was sitting. I looked there many times and I know it was not there, because I figured that was where it would be and looked that area over very thoroughly many times.

That was the first time, there were other times she would ask for something and she would get it. I felt God was very strong with her.

I have had a few. One that I've related before concerned a friend who lived in India. One night I experienced her rapidly moving past me saying "I go to God". I found out she had died at that time and I had not known she was sick. This and a few others are confirmation of what I accepted - that death is not the end.

I had that experience as a child, but I chalk it up more to a psychological phenomenon rather than anything real.

@Maninthemiddle,

First and foremost, thank you for sharing your story. Personally, I think it takes courage to openly talk about this kind of experience online. Second, I'd like to share my thoughts on your experience based on my knowledge and personal experiences as a psychic medium and paranormal investigator. Based on my knowledge and personal experiences, I believe that what you experienced was undoubtedly real, having experienced the same myself. I've experienced this paranormal phenomenon myself more than once. Of course, I don't know the circumstances surrounding your father's death or how he reacted to it.

I do believe, however, that earthbound human spirits can be angry and frustrated about their passing (whether it was sudden or expected), and lashing out aggressively towards the living is one way that they express their anger. I'd also like to say that it might not have even been your father who made physical contact with you. You may have an attachment to another human spirit, or it could be a non-human entity. If it is a non-human entity, then it doesn't mean that the entity is "evil." Grant it, it could be malicious. As a former Christian, I no longer categorize non-human entities as "evil" because, in my opinion, the word is a subjective term and religiously based. I'd like to reiterate that what I've shared is what I believe to be true and what I've experienced for the vast majority of my life, as I explained in detail in other threads linked below. Finally, as far as I'm concerned, it's entirely your decision whether you believe and accept what I've said. You can disagree with me if you wish, but I will not, under any circumstances, argue or debate with you about my personal beliefs or experiences relating to what I consider to be paranormal. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, or if you'd like to speak privately, let me know.

One of the problems of sharing deeply personal experiences is that those who have not had them tend to find explanations that in effect invalidate a personally very meaningful experience. It's why I don't share my most deeply meaningful and personal experiences.

I do believe, however, that earthbound human spirits can be angry and frustrated about their passing

The fact that there are negative entities in the lower astral does not invalidate the experience.

Why are psychological phenomena not 'real"?

I think in this context he means not an outward, objective force like gravity or inertia. I've also had spiritual experiences that I chock up to my mental state of mind back when I experienced them rather than an outward, objective force

My father was convinced that my dead mother's ghost
was banging pots & pans in the kitchen at night.
I stopped it with an exorcism....
Shut off the home's water supply.
Open the lowest drain & all faucets.
Close the drain & faucets.
Turn back on the water supply.
Once the plumbing air chambers were
recharged with air, the banging stopped.

We all see what we want to see.
I saw plumbing.

My late husband and I agreed that whoever was left behind would try to communicate to the other one who had passed on.
I do not believe it is possible to communicate to those who are in the spiritual world without the help of a psychic medium, but I think that those who have passed on can send us signs.

Since my husband passed on about 17 months ago, I have had some normal experiences in the house that cannot be explained as anything but paranormal. This has happened 11 times, and the last time was on November 1. I expect that it will happen again.

Another which may be an incredible coincidence.
I lost my wallet in Sydney, a city of millions of people.
Someone found it and handed it in to a staff member at a train station they were passing through.
It was then handed on to their boss.
That boss was my brother who opened the wallet and saw my identification.
We had not spoken for years until my wallet was unknowingly handed into him.
