Just because someone is raised in the Catholic faith, does not mean that they are Roman Catholic.

Andrew.
What do you look for, get out of, or have a goal of for ghost hunting?

Andrew, Jr. · 12-09-2009, 08:10 AM

To help the person move to the afterlife. Sometimes when someone dies, they have no clue that they died, and are roaming here searching for help or to find others or loved ones. That is what a ghost is. There is not really a haunting, but a nest. It is a place where the ghost finds comfort.

I also go to graveyards and cemetaries. I enjoy doing scratchings from headstones.

My Grandmother had a gift. She used it to help people. In turn, I was given this gift. I knew it from a very early age. I know that there are some things that I am attune into, and some I have no business getting involved with. That is when I reach out to others for help and advice. I never give advice or answers unless I am asked for it first. And even then, I have to know more about the person asking the questions, and what the questions are based upon.

If I have an answer to someones question, I give it freely. Never do I ask for money or anything in return, but prayers.

There is a lot more to this life than meets the eye.

You have to have a deep spiritual faith in order to do anything in this field. Anything. If you don't, then you/your soul can be taken over. Do not think for a minute that demons are not walking about freely. They are. And they are ready, willing, and able to pounce on anyone at a moments notice.

I wanted to say that I am here, sitting quietly in the background and watching. I may contribute at some point... but I also take this subject very seriously and do not offer up too much information too willingly. I will say that I have had a great deal of personal experience, that I also am gifted, in several ways, and that I often doubt my own gifts and am repeatedly forced to admit their reality and accuracy.

Andrew, Jr. · 12-10-2009, 11:53 AM

Yes, Jenn. I get it. I am back in the lurk mode myself. Some may not get "it".

Peace,
Andrew

Sometime after my mom died, I was getting off an elevator to go to work. As soon as I hit the sky walk to the other building I smelled her perfume. It's happened a couple of times. Now that the holidays are here I can't get her or my three cousins off my mind. My great grandmother used to say that whenever we dreamed of the dead it was a sign they needed our prayers. Who knows?

Andrew, Jr. · 12-16-2009, 05:03 PM

Ol' Jet,

It means that they are around you. Anytime you smell perfume, cologne, tobacco, or something related to a dead relative or friend, that is your connection. You can pray for them, but they are checking in on you. They are taking their energy to come back into this plane to reach you. The scent is the means of contact.

True. The so called American Catholic church is in descension from Rome.

If I stand in a garage does that make me a mechanic? Is that what you are trying to say, Jet? Also, odors do give away the presences of a lost loved one on the other side trying to make contact with you.

Andrew, I think you are wrong here. I don't think that is what Jet is trying to say. Not even close.

Most people think "Roman Catholic" when they hear "catholic church" there are really about 20 or so different catholic churches in the world.

The Roman Catholic Church is the Latin Rite and then there are the Eastern Rite churches such as:
Coptic Catholic Church
Ethiopic Catholic Church
Maronite Church
Syrian Catholic Church
Armenian Catholic Church
Chaldean Catholic Church

These churches are "in communion" with Rome but are not Roman Catholic.

Note - Eastern Rite is NOT the same as Eastern Orthodox.

"Rite" has to do with liturgical tradition from a specific center. In this case the Vatican.

Eastern Orthodox is a body of churches including the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches.

Andrew, Jr. · 07-11-2010, 08:22 AM

Oh, ok. I was not sure of what he was saying. I was confused. Thanks!

Jet · 07-11-2010, 01:41 PM

I understand the American Catholic church has formed its own liturgy, dogmas, etc. which are not part of the true Roman Catholic church. Also, any church operating with pre-Vatican II laws and practices etc. are not authentic or accordance with Rome.

Andrew, Jr. · 07-11-2010, 06:04 PM

Jet,

Where did you get that information from? I never heard of that before.

MysticOceansFL · 07-11-2010, 06:16 PM

I agree with you my ex is Ukrianian and leans towards the Russan cathlic

MysticOceansFL,

There is a rather large following of the Russian Catholic religion here in Baltimore. I am not sure of what the name is of the Church. It's gorgeous from what I have seen on the outside. Just gorgeous.

dixie · 07-26-2010, 09:33 PM

Okay...here's what's been going on...

I came in to work tonight to be told about an "incident" happening last night. I night manage a domestic violence shelter, and the shelter itself is inside what my town calls a "historic home". It has new siding and new additions, but the original structure is very old. Not sure the exact date of the original build but I'm gonna research that. Anyway...

Two of the ladies who smoke were outside around 11:30p last night. We have outdoor nightlights that kind of illuminate the yards. They heard something walking through the grass, then the seat on the swingset moved, then they heard footsteps climbing onto the wooden porch steps. They said it was loud, almost stomping. Even the cats freaked out and ran away from that side of the porch. The footsteps then walked to the other side of the porch, down the steps, and continued to stomp up the concrete stairs to the gate where they stopped. The sensor lights didn't come on, but they could see the swing moving and hear the footsteps, and they both "felt" the air get a little cooler when the footsteps were near them. One lady had never experienced anything like it so she ran in the house. The other lady is fullblooded Cherokee so she understood what was going on, and said it had an "evil" feel to it.

I've heard from staff and a couple other ladies that sometimes they hear footsteps on the stairs inside the house, and a few other odd noises and "feelings". I haven't really noticed anything but noises, which at the time I attributed to maybe a resident moving around late at night, but I'm gonna start paying more attention. I also thought it was just my nerves when I first started, but when I went out to smoke late one night I didn't even finish my cigarette because I felt like I was not alone, and had an odd feeling of fear. I assumed it was due to the job itself but now I wonder...

I shall keep you posted if anything else happens...
