How soon after someone dies can you hear from them?

Question

I have a friend whose brother died. The night after he died...she was in his room and felt a "breath" in her ear and a noise like someone was trying to talk to her...but she couldn't make out the words. Do you think it might have been her brother? Why is it that you can understand what some spirits say..but not others?

Answer 1

"Why is it that you can understand what some spirits say..but not others?"

No clue, maybe it's just simply not easy to do. Else I wish we could just chat with them still like any other person.

I have never heard a person (though I've felt a breath-warm brush of air across my cheek in a chilly room), but I heard one of our cats two or three times. That was within the first number of months he'd been gone, after we lost him to some funky cancer at a young age. My parents and sister also heard it, all of us individually, same location...where the cat food had been kept.

It was only a few times that happened. Although the spring door bumper he used to mess with, while alive, would occasionally be heard, off by itself. That happened every now and then for at least the first year.

Answer 2

It can go either way, it depends on how close they were.

Some might say that she was overcome with grief & it may have been all in her mind.  Then on the other hand, he may have been trying to say something to her but he may have not had the strength to or knowledge to actually say it.

My experience is that there is a time right before actual death that the soul travels to say "Goodbye" to the loved ones.  My grandmothers did that & both stood at the foot of my bed.  I was very young & didn't understand & thought they were actually in the house at the time.

Answer 3

I would think that if it was her brother he would have made sure she could understand him.

Answer 4

It's possible that was the spirit of her recently-deceased brother trying to contact her, but I can think of a much simpler explanation.

Answer 5

The answer is never. Dead people don't talk, I'm afraid. That's because they're dead. There's never been a compelling example where it was demonstrated that a deceased person was communicating a message. If there were, I'd re-think the whole dead thing.

This woman's experience is pure power of suggestion and wishfulness.

Answer 6

That happened to me!  It was whispering in my ear, but I couldn't make out the words.  I could even feel the warmth of their breath on my ear!  Omg, freaked me out!  After I thought about it, I don't think it was my brother because he wouldn't do anything to scare me like that.  

I think it was demonic, coming to me at a vulnerable time and trying to make me think it was my brother!  Why?  I don't know.  I heard it 3 or 4 times in a row.  Then I got the H out of there, fast!  lol♥

Answer 7

You can hear from them as soon as they die, then mostly for days after, specially if they died unexpected, and are wondering about the people they left behind...

No i wouldnt say it was a demon nor an evil spirit, but mostly like her brother, trying to tell her hes ok on the other side... And just having of died the night before, Id say it was him..

You have to imagine when people die, they no longer have mouths to talk with, or hands to touch properly with, but have to use their energy instead, and mostly talk telepathically... What you describe here, is a common spirit interaction of letting the person know they are there....

You have to think of a spirit like a person who has gone blind or deaf, and have to find other ways of communicating...

But definately not a demon.....

The brother wouldnt of been trying to scare her..Its natural to feel fear when you feel energy around you without seeing anything there.... The whispering could of been a form of telepathy, which from a spirit sounds like its coming just outside of your ears, as if a person is standing there next to you talking into your ear....

Answer 8

Once you die you go to heaven or h**l.  Her brother was not talking to her.  It could have been a demon or something but it wasnt him.

Answer 9

I guess if the someone was close to you in life.They may be closer to you in death.

Answer 10

You don't have to wait until they're dead . Why not call them before it is to late . There are reports of people having contact at the moment of death .

Answer 11

Two things... 1) It depends on what dimension they're from, the higher the dimension the more the spirit has to adjust it's vibrations to either be seen clearly and heard clearly.

2) Also it may depend on your abilities of your senses to see them, to heard them. Spirits will usually will focus or attach to one of your senses to communicate.

EXAMPLE

When my mother in law died, She came to me three times within three months that I know of. I haven't seen her, so I am thinking that she went to a higher dimension. Not that they aren't able to show themselves. But she connected to one of my senses, it was smell. I were home asleep all three times alone since it was a time where I was going through a divorce. I woke up all three times to the smell of cigarettes, that after smell that I always smelt on her, and at one of them times the TV was left on, she I believe was in it, because the way the screen was acting, never saw a TV do that.

Ghost don't usually travel unless they follow you, because they don't usually know that they are dead, they are attach to where they either died, or where they live. They -ghost are spirits, but in our or lower dimension, so they are easier to see and all their details if they manifest, and depends on the stage of their manifestation.

Spirits know that they are dead, and they know you scare easier, so they will usually do some hinting at first to let you know that they are there, to ready you for their coming. Espically if your able to show them by your reactions that your sensitive to them, they will come all the more to communicate to you, and show themselves, even touch like hold your hand, or rub your back.

You see once you experience it enough, you start to figure out these things. But usually it's not demons like most people believe, they think that because they don't understand it.

Yes it sounds like her brother.

They also come back just after they died to let you know that they are alright.....due to your concern prayers about them. So yes they either hear your prayers or God let them hear it since it's to do with them.

Edit

My Grandmother's dog was dead and was still with her for a day before she reai;zed it is dead. She saw it walk through the door. the next day she found the dogs body under the stairs.

Answer 12

It is not her brother. When people die they do not and cannot come back from the dead. But what happens is that a demonic entity shapeshifts into the individual who has died to deceive them and draw them into the occult. What your friend heard was a demonic spirit so she should pray before she goes to bed.

Answer 13

my aunt began having communications and experiences with my uncle starting the day after he died (the most amazing of which was a blue-eyed dove [his eye color, his favorite bird] that lived in her apartment for a week, refusing to leave).

it could have been her brother, but as with any paranormal experience, it's most important to rule out any logical explanation. she could have just felt so strongly the loss of such a loved one, and could have imagined her brother. of course, it's impossible to prove whether that is the case or not. it's possible that it actually WAS her brother. try asking him to give one knock for yes or two for no and ask him some questions. if he was that quick, he probably has a strong guide helping him get in touch with her.... and that also probably means he has an important message =) good luck!!

the reason you understand some and not others is because it's kind of complicated communicating from the other side.... it takes a lot of strain and effort at first, because it's like trying to move something with your mind.... quite hard to do, no? but once you get the hang of communicating while you're dead, anyone paying enough attention to you will be able to hear you quite well.

p.s. deenie, is that really you? THE deenie? i love your new picture!!! glam it up!

p.p.s. oh i just read your profile and it says it's kim novak.... oh well, you still have great taste in icons!!! =D
