| Ghost/Spirit? Hey all. I'm unsure if this is the correct thread to post in, but I'm just wondering if any of you have had an paranormal experiences with spirits of beloved pets that have passed on? My little yorkie, JJ went to rainbow bridge just under 2 weeks ago (16th feb) and since he left, I have noticed a few things happening around the house. JJ used to sit at the top of the stairs when he knew I was going to bed so he could follow me. About 2 days after he passed, I saw him at the top of the stairs waiting for me. I blinked to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and he was still there waiting. As I walked up the stairs, he disappeared. A few nights ago, I was laying in bed about to drift off to sleep, and I felt him jump onto the bed and lie on my feet, but I couldn't see him. 3 nights ago at about 3/4am I'm unsure if I was half asleep or dreaming, but I distinctly remember sitting up in bed and leaning over to where he was laying and I cuddled him for what seemed like about 30 minutes, and I could smell him; an overwhelming feeling came over me, a comforting feeling, and I cried happy tears. Maybe this was him showing me that he is still with me? I apologise for the huuuuuuuge post, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar to me. |

| You have me in tears reading your post. So sorry for your loss of JJ. I have no experience with the paranormal. Could just be your minds way of coping with he loss of JJ? Could be more? Who's to say? All I can say is that it sounds like you loved JJ very much and he loved you.

| Hi and Welcome to YT! Crying here too! When my cat passed a few years ago for the first two weeks afterwards, I would see him running through the house out of the corner of my eye. I don't know for sure... the brain is very powerful, but I like to think they don't leave us. So sorry for your loss ... RIP JJ.

| Thanks for the welcome I didn't mean to make you both cry, I hope you had a Kleenex at hand, haha. I was wondering whether it was my mind playing games, but the feeling of closeness and of not being alone is making me think otherwise. Me and JJ were inseperable, and a part of me insists that we still are - maybe not physically, but spiritually. I've had paranormal experiences in the past when I was younger, I saw my aunt, both grandmothers, and a few people who I didn't recognise, but never an animal. When I saw JJ, I felt so comforted and that I wasn't really alone. I'm getting a lump in my throat just typing this! |

| My 8 yr old cat Rusty died Monday Feb. 25. I have another cat, so I have l left out 1 bowl for food and the water fountain. Rusty was a very messy eater and would have the food all over the place and the bowl and fountain would always be moved (he weighed 14-15 lbs). Now Miss Snuggles is the opposite...very prissy and eats very little. Since Rusty has been gone, when I go out in the garage, I find the bowl and fountain moved with food all over the place. It's been freaking me out a little since I know that Snuggles wouldn't have done it. She also has been acting kind of weird...staring at the floor, but nothing is there and acting really skittish. I want to believe that his spirit is still with us, but who knows

YT 2000 Club Member | After I lost my Tameka, I kept thinking she was still here. I would turn and expect her to be following me. I also would wake during the night and check on her. I think we miss them so much that we imagine that they are still with us!

Allow me to share one little event....I was always a mischievous child,always pulling pranks and tricks on people....and anytime my father would get angry with me, he would address me with a stern "JUDY ANN!".....just a week or so ago, some members will remember I pulled a rather mischievous little harmless trick.....and I can assure you, that night as I was typing my third entry into what I thought was great fun, I clearly smelled that wonderful pipe smoke and heard my father sternly call out to me, "JUDY ANN !!!" I had to laugh, and I promised him I would stop, which I did! I embrace these moments and they continue to give me great comfoort.) | |

| I believe it is little Jj telling you he is in a good place and helping you with your grief! I've never had a pet but...my dad passed away when I was 22. A few years later I was upset over a bad break up w a bf. I always went to my dad when I needed comfort or help problem solving. I was sitting at a table crying and asking why when I heard a noise in the hallway. When I looked up my dad was there...he said everything is going to be just fine..and I felt him hug me. He disappeared and i knew everything was going to be exactly how it should be. I believe if you believe it happened.

| I can honesty tell you I have seen the ones I have lost. At first I thought no way. But yep I know they are there and watching. I actually saw my late Lizzie two day's ago standing in the hall way. I am so sorry for the loss of your JJ. Just know he will always be in your heart and he will always be watching over you.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | I am so sorry for your loss. People handle a loss of a loved one in different ways and those we loss come to us in more than one way. Whether it be in our dreams or our conscious thoughts or in visions. Regardless they are always with us in spirit and in our hearts. My kitty Sheena comes for a visit a lot. She passed 9 yrs ago and we have her buried in our yard. Ever since I hear her jumping off of the bed, and opening doors mostly up in my daughters room. That is where she spent most of her time hiding from the dogs. The family thought that I was nuts until they heard the sounds for themselves. Even the dogs here the noises and look up the stairs for a non apparent something.

| Judy said 'it matters not what others think' (paraphrasing)...I wholeheartedly agree. I also agree with her...you...and others, that JJ is with you. I have post-departure visits as well...some as a 'knowing'...some audible...some in dreams...some as experiencing their 'smell'...maybe their weight on their favorite cuddle spot on my body, and/or their warmth...or feel their mass even though they are not visible. To me, it is perfectly normal. I feel the wind, too, but I usually do not see the air. My Mom had a 'physical' visit from her father in person in a house they moved into after he passed. My SIL had a 'physical' visit from her Dad after he passed...he did OOBEs at will before he passed. In 2004, I 'felt' when a friend passed...I was not there in person and got the 'official' news several hours later. Too many more stories to relate here. I have a very good, out of print book (I still see used copies for sale...<g>) by Dr. Helen Wambach called, "Life Before Life." I found it very comforting, explanatory, and very informative. She set out to prove something non-existent and found the opposite to appear true. There is so much we just do not know. I am so sorry for your loss of JJ in the physical at this time. I know how terribly difficult it is. It is obvious that you and JJ loved each other very much. Please accept my sincere condolences. RIP,JJ...{{{Hugs}}}

| Wow, thanks everyone! Reading your experiences and stories has made me feel like I'm not going crazy, lol! Last night I felt a pressure as if JJ was leaning into me like he used to when he slept on my bed near my hip. I know for sure that it's him, it has to be. There are too many signs since he passed that he is still pottering around the house, which makes me feel so much better |
