Spooky experiences while researching

Paula I know what you mean my father died when I was 5 but i know he has looked out for me in all the years that have gone by since, my memories of him are few but they are there ... particularly when rough times hit!

I will take a look at the board you posted the photos you are obviously proud of them as they are of you

You take care now

You just look at their expressions with the first baby, not telling who that is. The second they look so excited, well, dear old Mum looks gob smacked without her teeth. That baby is my son, their grandson.

Paula, your darling Mum and Dad are always by your side.  Whenever I chat to my lovely Dad, and say something like, just look at that flower Dad, isn't it beautiful...I always get back ...Aye love....

He rarely said yes, mostly Aye...

love

Strange, so many people I have spoken to seem to have these short messages from our dearest. It's very comforting, isn't it.

Aren't they just, Cal. I've got a very special snap of Dad and me when I was little. I might put that up. It just about sums my childhood up. My Dad and me, and Mum taking the picture of us, only we were at Wookey Hole, and she had a chunk of rock at her back and couldn't get far enough back to get Dad's feet it.
Oh, but the happy memories.

Well, here's another weird thing. I've just come through a bit of a rough patch, such is life, and a couple of nights back, I'm sure I heard my father's quiet voice, saying, 'It's all right, I'm here, my little gel,' just like he did if I was frighten when I was small.
Wishful thinking....or what?

I've been reading over these posts for some time now without posting, but Paula, your post made me want to jump in. I agree, he is watching. My dad died a little over 2 years ago and on the first anniversary of his death I had a dream about him. Nothing profound, just the two of us talking and I woke up feeling so good on a day that I thought would be unbearable.

A couple weeks after he died, I was so sad because so many people said you always feel them with you and I didn't. I had been crying on and off for a big part of the day. The kids and I went shopping and on the drive home, I got pulled over for speeding (the first time in my entire life). When the cop took my license to his car, I looked up and said, "Dad, you're not even here to help me with this one." (My dad was a lawyer.) The cop came back and told me to just slow it down next time. So I think he was there...

Dads can be wonderful people, can't they Kath.
Thank you for answering. Have you seen the picture of my christening that I put on the Our Ancestors page? I followed it with the same two people, same christening robe, and same camera. Only the baby is different, it's their grandson.
They look so proud.

Here'smy twopence worth!
I have been having trouble trying to find out about my gr-gr-gr-grandfather James Moore of Cranbrook and also his children - and their whereabouts - and one of things that made me decide not to go any further for a while was that I got a feeling of dread and seem to see a hand that was put up to stop me going forward. The feeling is going now and I feel I will be able to get on with it soon.
I don't know if this has anything to do with something I did years ago with my friends and we all tried automatic writing.  I kept getting the same thing over and over again and it said - you can't have him, he's mine and somehow I knew the meaning of it straight away - my paternal gr-grandmother had more or less raised my Dad since he was about 10 and gossip had it that she was very protective of him.
