I was having a shower the other day, it was in the afternoon. I was in the middle of washing my hair when I noticed this really bright light from behind me, out of the corner of my eye. My shower I should say is like a cubicle made out of clear glass, behind which is a large window (pearl glass) that let's in the sun. So naturally I thought that the sun must have come out from the clouds. But then when I turned towards it, I sensed something above, and ducked instinctively as I heard the fluttering of what sounded like wings - large wings, like when a bird swoops down on you. I have two cats, and no birds in the house. It brushed against my left side my face and shoulders, and although I was surprised and startled I wasn't scared. The 'object' I saw from the corner of my eyes was white too.

I should say that my house is brand new, we just built it nearly three years ago, and it isn't near any burial sites or anything like that, so it isn't likely that there is a ghost haunting THE HOUSE, but if anyone can shed light on this experience it would be fantastic.

There was also another experience awhile before this one. I'd had the most horrible dream of my father dying. I was in this white misty place and there were people all around me, and I saw my father floating face down in the pool. I woke up in tears because the dream had felt so real, but I was still in that semi-dream-like state of half sleep. I felt arms around me, and a whispering and I returned to sleep. It wasn't until I woke up again an hour or two later that I freaked out, since I sleep alone and there is no one in my section of the house.

Thank you and blessed be!

Just a guess Annwyn, but I think your protector just introduced its self.
A heartfelt Hello and thank you is your best acknowledgment.

Wow - I hadn't thought of that - I already told my father about my dream but that was months ago now. I only recently remembered it myself. I will follow that advice. Thank you!

My father thought it was weird and was rather freaked out by it. Especially considering we have a pool. Lately I've been in a state of in betweens and indecisiveness (sp?), but these two experiences happened a quite few months ago so I don't know if they have any relevance to where I am in my life at the moment.

My family has had quite a few dealings with the paranormal - at least according to the stories they've told me, and I've had my own little brushes with the mysterious (like my encounter with the ghost in my basement when I was in Canada - I was about 12years old and I still don't know if I imagined it or not, although my grandmother swears she saw him too - she could be humoring me).

In your opinions, do you think this sort of thing is hereditary or just about anyone can have them? Personally I think just about anyone can step in the freaky twilight accidentally - but what about things like psychometry - this ability seems to be getting stronger in me lately, although always controllable so far. Oh - and my throat has been feeling odd - not in the physical 'I'm getting sick sense' but almost like...Hmm...tight and warm-ish - the same thing goes for the place where my 'third-eye' is, and the back/top of my head. Maybe that is related to those experiences or not...It's nice to get second opinions on what you might think these things could be!

Blessings,
Annwyn

The encounter was awhile ago - so I don't think it had anything to do with the feelings in my upper chakras. Maybe I am out of balance. I have been feeling very restless of late - perhaps because I have a big birthday fast approaching!

In my family psychiness certainly isn't encouraged - so I wouldn't know if anyone else in the family has much experience with psychometry. My grandmother worked in a hospital which is why she's had so many encounters with ghosts - but that's about the all of it.

I'll have to look into re-balancing myself, I have been meditating again recently, but the feelings increase when I do. Thanks for replying Epona - you've certainly given me food for thought, lol!
