From: OA Ever since I was 4-5 years old I noticed I was slightly different than most children. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I was able to understand exactly made me a bit odd. Most women on my mother’s side of the family have the ability to see and communicate with the dead. My great grandmother was a medicine/spiritual woman. She only had one daughter, my grandmother. My grandmother had 4 children, 3 daughters and a son. Her oldest daughter, her youngest daughter (my mother) and her only son were born with that same ability. My mother had 3 children of her own, all 3 of us were born with the gift. This gift that some people may call, was a secret to strangers in fear to being judged or misunderstood perhaps mistaken for mental ill patients. I was raised not to speak of this ability, I was really told not to, but it was understood that it was something keep under the rug. My sister didn’t speak of it till she was in her late teens. It was then that she spoke to my mom about it because her ability was not only picking up energy from the dead, but from evil spirits. The only reason I found that out was because I eased dropped in a family’s conversation, again although it was family we wouldn’t talk about it at all. My sister finally spoke to about this to me many years later. It was until then that I was able to open up about my “gift” as well. To this day my brother hasn’t opened up to anybody, but the family suspects he has the same “ability” due to incidents happening around him and every home he has lived in that my sister in law has witnessed. Before my grandmother passed away she told me that this “gift” is hereditary. For some reason women are more accessible to this sixth sense. According to my grandmother it’s a woman’s openness to her emotions and feelings that makes us more approachable to the paranormal, sometimes stronger than others, which that happens to be my sister’s issue. When I got married and started my family, I lost sleep over my children having to live with this “ability”, as I read in one of this page’s fan said, “What many say is a gift, those with it see it as a curse”. This is something that you can not shut off. This is something you live with every day and night of your life. The having to pretend there’s nothing wrong when you’re supposed to be alone visiting a friend and the ghost of her mother or grandfather is there with u….it’s mentally exhausting and emotionally draining, because not all welcome this information and most are skeptical and prefer to believe a person with this ability seek psychological help. This is not what I want or wanted for my children, but a year ago my 14 year old daughter told me about the young girl that comes out of her closet when she and my other 10 year old daughter sleep. 6 months after that my 10 year old told me about the young girl that climbs her bunk bed and lays at her feet and only 1 month ago my 12 year old son told me his closet doors open by themselves even after he closes them repeatedly. All of this I’ve known for years, but suddenly my children are experiencing these entities. My oldest son is the only one blessed without this “gift” or perhaps he just hasn’t opened up about it.
