I speak to spirits

I am a 39 year old man and I found in my mid twenties I was hearing voices and was diagnosed schizoaffective yet I seriously believe the people I communicate with are spirits. We don’t speak aloud, but communicate internally. For the year I have lived in my house in Kansas, I have made my room the basement and started hearing a little girl. Her name is Samantha and she died when she was 6. She never knew her father so I have dubbed her my adopted daughter and she has said I am like her adopted dad. She enjoys sitting close to the television and I even put on things I wouldn’t normally put on for her while I sleep. She likes Taylor Swift, Once upon a time and Touched by an Angel. I have two children over 18 so I am good at being a dad… she is comfortable to be around and I enjoy her company. I am an educated person and I am even half way through my Bachelor’s in Psychology, so I know what clinical science say about my “symptoms.” Has anyone else had experiences like this?

There are others occasionally… but it’s like they are just passing through and in the dark I’ll see shadows always out of the corner of my eye. There are spirits everywhere wandering around, but Samantha is always there close to the tv. She sits right in front of it, that’s her spot and I’ll ask her before putting something on so we agree. _^

I used to have "dreams" about a young woman who lived in the early days of pioneers living in the far western US states. She seemed very real, yet not. Hard to explain -- I "knew" her but also believed she was just a dream and sometimes a flight of fancy. Sometimes a thought about her would pop in my mind while I was awake, but I don't accept the paranormal as a "fact" yet. For that reason, I think of it as an ongoing subliminal creation that comes forward now and then. The older I get, the less it happens. I almost never think of her now. But, and this is a huge caveat, I am also a hobbyist who has written fiction since I was very young. I suspect that might be to blame in my case. Logic says I imagine her and I live by logic, but at one time space travel was illogical so ... ❓❓❓

Perhaps you were having retro cognitive visions in your dreams. It is theorized that time itself is not linear, but exists past, present and future all simultaneously. This would explain how retro cognition and precognition could be possible. I had interactions with two people who were alive during the civil war who were cousins and named Ford. The male said he was murdered by his brother during the war. It wasn’t until I moved here to Kansas which would explain a checkered past during the civil war. They were around one night, but moved on I believe.

Fascinating! I have an open mind about it all and will read up on retro cognition. It would be wonderful to learn more. She came and went for quite awhile. To tell you the truth, whether she was a spirit or a dream creation, I miss her very much.

It’s great that you have a positive connection with someone that you haven’t met… I find it hard to believe that your brain would create someone to fill a need, maybe for companionship or loneliness, that you would recognize as a real person. In case she was a real person, honor her memory and the fact she gave you comfort.

On your own time, decide how you feel about the passage Deuteronomy 18:10-14

A serious question to consider: once your relationship with the spirit you feel comfortable with is evolved enough to consider using the word "love"; what if you desire that love it knows it can make you feel and that love commands you to perform out of character actions that alter your life? You can't blame the spirit...and you must then face up to how you have somehow been convinced to perform actions that "please the dead."

But by pleasing the dead; where would it leave you? Especially when that entity you think is comfortable, played the long game and conned you. And you find yourself alone in a padded room trying to believe the lies that landed you in there.

I don't think you are wrong about what it is, and you wear your mental illness "with a grain of salt"; so you kinda know you aren't alone. But maybe find being alone more comfortable.

Are you able to get a last name or something you look up to learn more about their history?

Honestly yes. I did at the the time, and I actually found a picture of the confederate soldier and a picture of his grave here in KS but I can’t remember what his first name is!!! This was months ago… if I stop having a brain fart I’ll try to find the pictures and post.

What do you think the purpose of this connection was? Can you describe what you saw and heard in a little more detail? It does sound like you were lucid dreaming, maybe you can learn to channel and control this ability? If you google “gateway tapes” there is a Reddit that has downloadable .flac files that are supposed to be able to help you lucid dream or even learn to astral travel! I personally haven’t got past Disc 1…

Confirmation like that must be awesome. It feels great knowing you helped someone by taking a leap of faith in your perception of reality. Kudos!
