Have you ever felt a spirit touch you?

Question

I was awake and laying in bed and my cell phone alarm had just woken me up. I didn't wanna get up yet so I just layed there for a minute. Then I felt a very gentle touch on my shoulder. It was so distinct. I felt like it was from my grandmother who passed telling me to get up or I would fall back asleep. I felt filled with love and so happy. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Answer 1

Yes! One time I was at a center, listening to a guess speaker, when someone tapped me on my right shoulder 3 times. I turned around, no one there. It happened again- 3 taps, no one there. The third time it happened again 3 taps all on the right shoulder I turned around and asked who ever it was to stop because I was trying to hear. It stopped, BUT after the speaker was done, my friend was tapped 3 times on her right shoulder. She turned around and no one was there. She didn't know I had been touched and I didn't know about her until we got ready to leave and we both said the strangest think happened to me....... Don't know who it was or what they wanted. But next time, I will take more care to stop what I'm doing and find out.

Answer 2

Yes, my mom.

While she was alive, we all used to joke with her - especially me and my youngest sister, that we never wanted her to come in "Spirit" form and see us, or contact us, as that would scare us, and we didn't want to be scared of our own mother. So she said, if possible, she'd find another way.

She passed on about five years later, and in a mysterious way.  I didn't receive any contact from her, and I knew she would keep her promise to us, - she was just like that.

One day, about a year after she died, she 'touched' me. I know it was her, because we had discussed some sort of sign, and that was it. She touched me on the back of the left arm - I felt the hand, and although it startled me, I wasn't afraid. It was a pleasant, calming feeling, and I smiled.

Seeing as how she'd waited for almost a year, I felt that this was her way of saying Bye, hon.. I'm moving on now.

I'm 100 % convinced, because I'm not spooked easily, that it was her, and it was a clear feeling of what we'd discussed. Her touching the back of my arm.

I was grateful to know she thought so much of our promise, that she let me know she was alright, as I'd often lay awake wondering, but knowing she wouldn't 'appear' to me, as per her promise. I felt so much better.

25 years later, I haven't sensed her since. She's moved on, and I'm happy.

Answer 4

well, i have experienced something like this, but i was sort of insane a little with grief... 4 years ago, in less than 12 hours, my house burnt, my grandpa died, and my great grandma died all in the same day. i was at my great grandmas (i didnt know her very well) house, with my mother, while my brother and my father were working on a building away from our house. it was around 4 in the morning, and my mother was going to take me home, where i could sleep (i had been up for 28 hours, and i was 9) when we got there, there were sirens going off, and the flashing lights of fire trucks. me and my mom pulled in in time to see the last wall of my house fall down. after everything was under control, where it wasnt going to spread, my uncle drove up, and took my parents to my grandpa (who was about 3 hours away in a nursing home) because he had died, and about then, my mother's aunt came and told her my great grandma had died. i ended up having to go to my cousin's house with uncle's 4 kids. they went to their rooms, and i sat. i was alive, and, i couldnt think a single thought. i felt like i could have set there forever, and i would feel nothing. i didnt feel bad, i didnt feel pain, i was alive, and that was it. i guess i was in so much grief that my thought processes just stopped for awhile. after a little while or maybe forever, i felt something pat my knee. my grandpa had had alzheimers disease. he got it before i was born, but he never forgot me. he always wanted to have a daughter, but he was just as happy with a granddaughter. he used to pat my knee when i would cry when i was younger. after a few seconds of that, it was like i heard a thought in my head that said 'goodbye' with all the emotion and affection possible to think. i felt good, for just a second, and then, it was gone. i never told anyone i knew this, because they would think i had made it up, or they would tell me to prove it, and i cant. and, even if they did believe me, he told me that, and if he wanted them to hear it, i think he would have told them too. i wish i could bottle up that feeling and keep it with me all the time.

thanks for letting me say all that, and if i bored you with it, i apologize.

Answer 5

I felt something tug on my hair when I was like 4 years old. That is about it. Well when I was at camp something squeezed my feet!!

Answer 6

I have had the experience as a paranormal investigator and as an individual.

Answer 7

I have yes, from a few spirits. My guides tend to touch me the most. But I've felt that feeling of love...it's something isn't it?? I wish I could bottle that feeling.

Trust what you felt. I honestly can't tell at the moment, but chances are you're right, that it was your grandmother.

Answer 8

As a paranormal investigator, I have felt unseen hands, and a finger that touched me on my hand. I was not filled with love, but the touch was indeed gentle, and entirely unexpected. It was a little upsetting, actually, because I couldn't identify a reason for it happening.

On one occasion, I had a violent altercation (a ghost slapped me). This experience was not simply wishful thinking, because I not only didn't have a concept that such a thing could happen, I actually don't want it to happen again.

I'm glad you had a positive experience. Mine just creeped me out. I also have a friend who got the feeling you described at another friend's funeral, and someone else there claimed to be able to see an impression on the cloth (I couldn't see it).

I don't like thinking of them as "spirits" because I'm not convinced that these are the spirits of the dead. I don't know what they are, but nothing leads me to believe that they're actually our dead.

Answer 9

i've only felt one spirit. That is the ruach hakodesh

Answer 10

That's a nice story but it sounds like you were just having a dream.

Answer 11

the feeling was caused by the intense feeling of missing your grandmother so much.

best example is on hospitals. they want the patients to think positive because almost all pessimistic patients die early

caused by strong feeling, mainly
