I have "the gift." And it's not fun. I have to be terribly careful, because otherwise I'll pick up on the mood of a residual haunting or even worse, some kind of entity.
The studio where I recorded my little college radio show.
Battlefields. Especially Little Bighorn.
A theater I drive past on my way to my rheumatologist's office.
Lots of weird stuff downtown. There are tunnels underneath most of the buildings where lots of shady stuff went down, and I'm certain some people who "went missing" are buried there. Some of the businesses have so much weird stuff happening in their basements, that the employees are afraid to go there.
And one place I simply will not talk about, where I was physically attacked by some entity.
At home, I have a couple of harmless little haunts. A cat that died in my arms had a favorite perch on our "kitty condo." He never let the other cats sit there while alive, and he still doesn't let them sit there. I've also heard plinking on my piano when nobody else was there. This cat loved to "play" the piano with us. A very sociable cat, I can still sense him when we have people over. And there are times when I still feel him rub against my legs.
A dog I had suffered from diabetes, so I had her on a special diet that she did not especially like. So she'd frequently try to snitch food from my other dog's bowl.
Apparently she still does, because years after she's passed, the other dog would still bark at something I can't see when I feed him. And he sometimes barks at... seemingly random spots on the floor or the wall. I think my former pets are here because they're bound to earth, and our house is for now their idea of heaven.
While I absolutely will not do mediumship or otherwise try to summon anything, I do sometimes get messages. Nothing prophetic. Just something I or someone else needs to hear. So it's not all bad, but I just have to be careful.
