Since I can remember I have the ability to see, hear and feel spirits. At first it was scary but then I realised it was a gift I was given and become used to the idea. The only vision I don't like is when I see crosses as in a death cross. If I see 3 within a short space of time then I know it is going to be somebody I personally know, 3 within a space of 2 weeks apart is somebody I know of, 3 over a long period then it is somebody I haven't met but have heard about that person.
I had a vision of my car accident where I nearly died, had a vision of my mom's death and many more which you don't really relate to at that particular time until it happens then you realise that this is actually all true.
The visions that are known to me (passed friends or family - my mom e.g.) normally appear to me when I am really down in the dumps or having a hard time coping with life in general. The unknown appear at random and I find it difficult to figure out why they appear to me as I can't communicate with them only see, feel their presence or hear them.
I have a photo of me with my twins standing by my sister's bike and you can clearly see the aura over my face so I know for a fact that I am blessed with a gift.
I just need to learn how to use it.
There are so many unusual things that have happened on a regular basis that are too uncanny to be co-incidental. My mom always said that the dead can't harm you only the living!
God bless you (:
P.S I believe that your mom is right (:
