I can`t say that I have ever not believed in spirits having seen them from a very early age it is the norm for me to pick things up by seeing, sensing or hearing them although as I have gotten older I have learned to tune out and only open up when I want to do so, except for the times that I am caught of guard. I would love to say that spirits come to me and I can see or communicate with them all including relatives, sadly this is not the case and very often the people you want to see the most will not come through for me.
As I said I have always believed in Spirit, my mother did everything she could to try to make me blank this out as I was growing up, by saying there was no such thing, this has the action of suppressing what you see and feel and in alot of children they forget they ever saw anything. It was only when I was twenty and having my eldest daughter named into the spiritualist church my mother said to me " Your just like your grandma! She was a spiritualist too." It was then I realised that this gift had been passed down and as my own three children grew up I became more and more aware that my eldest daughter also has the gift, my other 2 children however have not inherited any form of psychic gift.
If you have read this far I thank you, hopefully as I put down into words our different investigations you will get a better insight into the paranormal.
