ASK MARY ANN - 9/21

Hi Mary Ann,

I lost my brother back when I was a teen.   The night before we were told he had been wounded, I dreamed about him getting hurt. I told my sister & she laughed at me until I had to call her & daddy and tell her it came true.  I still remember that dream. It made me feel good in a way that he had found a way to forewarn me so I was kind of prepared for the news. For many years, he would come visit me in my dreams.  At first I was seeing him at a distance. He would smile at me & just be watching me from afar.  Each time he was closer & closer until in college one Christmas I could actually touch him and talk to him.  He gave me a present for every Christmas he’d missed and then he hugged me & it was the best hug I’d ever had in my life.  I knew I was dreaming it but it was so real and I didn’t want to wake up.  I haven’t seen him since & it breaks my heart.  I don’t want to be selfish, but it would be just so awesome to have that hug again and be able to talk to him.

I actually was hit by post traumatic stress syndrome this year because of a 60 second video my sister sent me that reminded me of my dream and his death.  It flipped a switch in me & I became anxious & so depressed.  I have always been upbeat & incredibly strong & independent.  I’m 52 & haven’t felt this sad and out of control since the day we buried him which was the only time I broke down.  This was true hell.  I was more upset than I had been when he actually died.  I had managed to smother it then.

I have often wondered if he is watching over us still.  Does he protect my sons, one of whom is named after him?  I need to know how he died because that question was never answered adequately by the authorities.  Do you have any way of communicating with him?  Could you try to get the answers for me?  I’ve never had peace not knowing for sure.  I still think about it weekly if not daily.

Thank you so much for your time & consideration on this.

Sincerely,

Fran

Hi Fran,

You have a couple of things going on. First it does not sound like you actually grieved for your brother when he died. That is why you have PTS now. I am sure you and your whole family were in shock when he died.

Your brother must have been really special to come to you the night before and give you a warning. That actually happens a lot, the person who is dead does not want the news to be a shock.

The second thing is, anytime you dream of a person that has died, that means that they have crossed over. They are where they are supposed to be, which is a very good. You do not want them to be stuck and not able to move forward.

So many people wish everyday that they could dream of their loved ones like you have. Everything that you described in your dreams was one hundred percent accurate, yes you were dreaming, but it was also happening.

When you start dreaming of your brother again, you can also talk to him and ask what happened. I can only see and communicate with spirits that have not crossed over, but again you can get your answers from him directly when you start dreaming of him again.

All relatives and friends that die and cross over come back and forth for visits. They do not miss holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and births. They are always watching over us, which should be a comfort.

I hope this helps.

Mary Ann

LETTER 2

Hi Mary Ann,

I’ve lived in my old house since 2000. I lived here for over a year with no strange happenings. From the first time I came to this house I felt that something was here. I stood outside on the porch and felt that someone was watching me. Since 2001, strange things have been seen, felt or heard, but only by me, and it is only once or twice a year. The first manifestation was my lampshade in the family room moving wildly from side to side. This was in a closed room with no open windows or doors. Then I was napping in my bedroom (when I was alone in the house) and was abruptly awakened by a tapping on my shoulder. Next, I heard a man’s voice telling me “Don’t” as I was entering the bedroom to strip paint from the wood. When I tried to sleep in the same front bedroom, I was driven out by the overpowering smell of skunk. My son came into the room and started looking for the skunk, but nothing was there. None of the other rooms smelled, and there wasn’t a dead skunk outside. I have seen a white mist, which covered the room, and instantly disappeared. One time when walking to my bedroom wrapped in a towel I heard a child/woman’s voice say “Boo!” In the past month, I heard it say “No” as I was reading in my room. Last weekend, I was playing with my cat on the bed and it thumped me on my eyebrow. Why is it picking on me? I have told it that it is dead and to leave me alone. I pray the rosary and ask Jesus and Mary and my guardian angel to protect me, and it seems to help for a while until the next event. I promise to take any advice you have for me. You are an angel to try to help. Thanks for listening. Nancy

Hello Nancy,

You seem to have a very active house with earthbound spirits. From your description I do not believe that they are in you house 24/7.

It feels to me that you have a spirit(s) that are in and out. That is why you do not sense something all the time. Feeling like you are being watched, hearing words, things missing, money not where you placed it, being poked, your hair being pulled, and offensive odors are all signs of earthbound spirits being present.

They are not actually picking on you, you are just the only live person in the house that they can get to notice them. Lucky you!

Praying is good, it brings positive energy in, and having an ordained priest or minister come into your home to bless it is also very good. One word here, DO NOT get holy water and sprinkle it about yourself, this will make any earthbound spirits angry. The other thing that you can do is to smudge the house with sage or sweet grass. That is what Native Americans use to move along earthbound spirits. To be most effective you will have to smudge on a regular basis, the usual time frame is once every two to three weeks.

Go to the library and get my book, “When Ghosts Speak.” There is a lot of good information in the book that can help. Doing any or all of these ideas will help.

Good luck.

Mary Ann
