Is My Uncle Trying To Tell Me Something?

Ive been reading the experiences on this site for about a year now and I'm getting more and more interested about the paranormal.

I'd really like some opinions on my experience as I have tried to talk to my friends about it and I think theyre starting to think I'm going a bit loopy!

I'll start from the beginning...

My nan has always told me that I have some ability to see things. She has told me when I was a child I would point and laugh at empty places and the one thing that has stuck in my mind is when I was on holiday in Wales with my nan and grandad (first time there) I apparently looked up and said "thats where the bomber planes are". Now for a 4/5 year old to say that is creepy! Well I thought so anyway!

I can't really recall any paranormal experiences up until recently.

The first thing I would like some advice is this. When I first started seeing my ex I started seeing 11:11 everywhere! I would look at my phone and the time would be 11:11, I would see the number 11 in random places when I was out shopping and even on the tv, now I have researched this and apparently its quite common. This stopped when me and my ex broke up but I have started seeing it again quite alot! I have been informed they're angel numbers?

My uncle Geoffrey and I were really close, he was definitley my fav uncle! When I was about 9/10 he was found dead in his flat. He had been there for about 5 months. (He lived about an hour away and he went AWOL quite a lot so it wasn't unusual not to hear from him for a few months) there was no cause of death determined as the body had decomposed so much.

I had never really felt him around me up until a few years ago when I got with my ex. I started to hear my name being shouted in my ear when I was drifting off to sleep and feeling cold spots around the apartment and smells you could walk in and out of. I'd like to think it's my uncle doing these things, maybe warning me and getting me to see the number 11?

My dad owns a pub, we don't live there as we had someone else to run it but he closed it in January this year. I decided to stay there for a few months just to get out the family home for a while. There have been many ghost stories about the ghost at the pub but I wasn't too convinced so I wasn't too scared to stay there on my own.

The ghost has been named Fred, this name goes back many many years. I did experience walking outside my bedroom door across the landing, my hair being flicked and just feeling of being watched. When I got scared at night I think my uncle was with me as I would ask him to send me to sleep and that would be the last thing I remember. Well I have now moved back home and I'm pretty sure that 'Fred' has come back with me! My dad does not believe in the paranormal and he has even commented on the strange goings on in the house since I moved back! Such as the dog staring and growling at the top of the stairs when everyone is in the livingroom, strange bumps and bangs. I have never felt strange in my parents house and neither has anyone else, but now I'm always feeling like someone is watching me.

I don't really get to the point where I don't want to be in the house but it is a bit uncomfortable at times. I'd like to think that my uncle is with me and helping me feel comfortable. I'd really like to properly contact him but I suppose everyone will tell me not to use a Ouija board. Has anyone got any advice on how I can do this on my own?

Sorry this is a bit jumbled but I have tried to put everything down that I can remember.

Thank you for reading. Your advice would be much appreciated!
