6 Clear Signs a Lost Loved One Is Close By You and Attempting To Send You a Message

When it comes to spirits and the afterlife there are countless theories and beliefs about what, if anything, happens next. Yet despite all the differences, people generally fall into one of two groups; those who believe in a spiritual afterlife and those who do not. The idea that after death our soul passes on to another dimension, or life, or realm is entirely possible. No one truly knows for certain what actually happens when we cease to exist or where our spirit goes when it leaves our body. In fact, what comes next remains one of the biggest mysteries in all of life.

Despite all the uncertainty, many people from all over the world and all walks of life believe that they have been contacted by the spirit of a loved one after they had passed. You may be one of them. Most people report feeling a special type of presence near to them, one that is unlike any other they’ve ever experienced before. The feeling they get from it is not a threatening or haunting one, rather it’s more mystical, positive, and reassuring. In the end, they attribute whatever they’re feeling to the spirit of a loved one who is close by.

These otherworldly interactions seem to randomly occur in our lives when loved ones send us messages, signs, and other subtle signals. They communicate with us indirectly and if you’re familiar with what to look for, and are open to the whole idea of spiritual connectivity, then you can pick up on these signs and know what each one means. If at some point you’ve ever wondered if the spirit of a loved one was trying to get through to you, then the following information will help you figure that out. These are just several of the main ways to interpret the signs that a deceased loved one is close by:

1) You Can Sense Their Presence:
This usually manifests as a sudden drop in temperature or a slight chill that is immediately noticeable. The air may become heavy or still and it means the spirit of a loved one is nearby. This is perhaps one of the most common experiences we’re able to have with spirits and while it may be off-putting for some, it need not be. The next time you feel it happen, embrace it.

2) Lights Flicker and Electronic Devices Act Up:
It’s commonly believed that the spirit world tries to make contact with us through electricity. While no one knows for sure, it’s thought that electricity charges them up and forces us to pay attention when electronics go haywire. Lights will suddenly turn on and off, bulbs will burn out, computers and laptops will act strange, speaker volume may go up or down, radio and TV channels inexplicably change, your car won’t start. When these types of things occur out of the blue with seemingly no explanation, this means a loved one’s spirit is attempting to gain your attention and let you know they are present.

3) You Dream About Them:
When a loved one who has passed appears in your dreams it’s often believed that they are trying to tell you something important. These types of dreams contain messages or answers to questions you’ve been searching for. Don’t ignore or write them off as just a dream, it’s guidance, advice, and comfort coming from your loved one.

4) Familiar Scents:
When you suddenly smell a pleasant scent that is somehow familiar, it’s a sign that your loved one is nearby or present. Spirits use smells that are special to us because we immediately notice and pay attention to them.

5) The Sudden Appearance of Random Things:
Objects such as feathers or coins that you find in random spots may not be so random after all. The spirits of our loved ones will often stick pennies, nickels, quarters, and other loose change in unusual places knowing that we’ll stumble across them. They do this as a way to help make us feel happy and to signal that they’re close by. So the next time you find a penny or a dime somewhere random, like on your front porch, thank your loved one for the thoughtful gift!

6) You Just Feel and Know They Are With You:
Sometimes there doesn’t need to be an overt sign that forces you to stop and think about a deceased loved one. Instead, you simply can sense and feel that some loving, otherworldly spirit is present and guiding you. This 6th sense or inkling is calming and peaceful. It’s the type of feeling you get inside which you automatically attribute to the spirit of a loved one. For some people it even feels like they’re inside their head talking and sending them messages. When this occurs, and should it ever happen to you, it’s never scary or unsettling, rather it’s reassuring and welcome.

My father liked to go shopping just to get out of the house. Not long after he died, both my daughter & I have experienced walking down aisles and stuff is thrown out from the shelves onto the floor. Not dropped off the shelves mind you. They come out with force in a horizontal arc. It stopped with me earlier on. But my daughter says it still happens to her now and then. When it first started though it was ridiculous. Like it would happen every time I or she were in a store.
 
When I was a kid there were three instances where I knew that someone was going to die. A thought would come to the forefront of my mind and say, " This is the last time I'm going to see_____ alive." (2 great aunts and a great uncle.) This phenomena ended probably around puberty.
And then it started to become contact with deceased relatives. This happens most often in dreams and the character of the dream is different . OVer the years I'm able to discern better if this is actually them.
The other way is through smells. My dad used to smoke Pall Mall Reds but got on a health kick and switched over to Marlboro filters:confused:. He died 5 years ago and my mom ,myself, and my brother occasionally smell Pall Mall Reds in my mom's house. This happens independently and when we were together.

One night my mom , my cousin and myself we're leaving a restaurant in the Theater District in Chicago. We were near a restaurant that my uncle John used to frequent. Uncle John has been dead for 5 years also , and so has that restaurant.
We all suddenly felt a drop in temperature and smelled his pipe tobacco. We all just looked at each other and smiled and said yes I smelled Uncle John. I think he just wanted to let his sister and his son and his nephew know that he was watching out for us.

Smoke is a common sign. I told about when hubs was in the hospital near death after the ladder incident, my son and I kept smelling his dads cigars. This is a sterile environment and in ICU. Making it weirder was hubs was seeing and talking to him.
 
Do these signs mean the person that has passed is a ghost and hasn't reached their final destination yet?

I get the feeling like there is free will on the other side as well. But the rules of conduct are more strictly enforced. Mainly I think interaction with the living in any way that might interfere with the living’s free will or trials is a big no-no. But I think many dead are allowed to give hints that they are still around. Hence ghosts.

Of course there are rogues. And as with the living, the dead might be punished for misbehavior. I’ve also heard that if the living grieve too hard & cling, that the dead can become stuck or trapped by the living & cant move on to their next tasks.

Nicely explained, Mrs. C. Thank you. :)
