ANGIE'S Q&A CAFE FOR "STRANGE HAPPENINGS"

Back to Angie's Q&A Cafe

Question: Hi Angie. This may sound a bit strange, but is there such a thing as a haunted phone? I have had cellular service for many, many years, but ever since I got this last one, a couple of strange things have happened. The first time, my phone rang in the middle of the night. By the time I got to it, they had hung up but the caller i.d. identified the last caller as my daughter. Not realizing the time (it was around 2:30 a.m.), I called her. She said it wasn't her and all of her family was sleeping peacefully. A few weeks later, my phone rang again in the middle of the night. It sounded distinctly like my grandson yet all he did was whisper, "Mamaw". I knew he was spending the night with his other grandmother, so I debated on whether or not to call her. I can see my daughter's house from mine and all lights were off. I concluded that if something were wrong, he would have called his mother. The next day, I asked him if he had called me last night. He said it wasn't him (the caller i.d. had no number at all). Am I blowing this out of proportion? It has me baffled. I hope you can help. Thank you! Leatha
Answer: Dear Leatha, Thank you so much for contacting me via my Q&A page. Well, this is a weird one and no mistake. I really have no answer for it. I suppose you have contacted the phone service and asked them to check on the calls and times? It might be a good idea if you have not already done this. I was watching an English programme called "Most Haunted" the other night. The team were on the Queen Mary over in the USA which was, of course, a British ship bought by the Americans and now used as a hotel. In one cabin, Leatha, the 'walkie talkie' was switched off. Suddenly it came to life and made the team jump, then it switched itself off. They laid it down and it switched on again!! No explanation was forthcoming. I believe I did read at one time, many years ago somewhere, of somebody's phone ringing and a spirit voice spoke. A relative who had passed over. That was spooky. On your phone you say you heard what you thought was your grandson's voice calling, but he was fast asleep. There is one explanation which you might not agree with, Leatha. Sometimes children can be the cause of what is commonly known as poltergeist activity, but really, in this case, I can't really feel happy with this as the little boy was in his own home, albeit just over the road from you. But, stranger things have happened. Will you log all times (if they happen again, Leatha), what you hear (if anything), and please keep me posted. This phone is the most unusual one I have ever heard of. Hopefully it will not happen again, but if it does, keep paper and pen handy and write times and dates down. I have asked another about this phone of yours and they are absolutely stumped to come up with an answer. Good luck with it. Thanks again for writing to me. Angie Christie

Question: Hey, Angie, thanks so much for this service. I have someone or someones  that haunt our home. Our home is only 3 years old. We are the first owners. But, before we lived here, we lived in another state and there were strange happenings there also. Actually, throughout my life I have had things happen around me. Noises, things that move, shadows. I even had a man that was working on my dishwasher 2 years ago hear one of the strange noises. Now these don't happen constantly. They seem to come and go. It is possible that this is a family member that is still around me. Is there a way for me to find out. This past Friday a friend was here and we heard someone walking on my stairs. But when we looked no one was there. Now, she is a little chicken to come back and visit me. Let me also state that the area my home is built on was a very active battle area during the Civil War. Sherman had headquarters in our town, and of course, his march to the sea, the burning of Atlanta, etc. Thanks in advance for any help.   Teresa
Answer: Dear Teresa, How lovely to hear from you and how psychic you are! The reason, I think, on reading of your experiences seems to be your ability to pick up the Spirit World. Believe it or not, many people never seem to be affected by psychic phenomena, but many are. You, I feel, are one of these people. Firstly, let me say that you are living on a very historical part of America, and yes, you could certainly be right in thinking this haunting may have something to do with the Civil War. I do hope that you are not afraid of what is happening. From your letter, you seem quite rational about it. Houses do not have to be old to have Spirit in them. I feel strongly that the house, being built on or near this historical site, has the vibrations you mention because of it. The other experiences you have had, Teresa, in the past, is because you are mediumistic. In my humble opinion, very much so. Never, ever feel afraid of the phenomena. The Civil War was terrible, as all wars are, very like our Civil War in the 17th century, and we too have battlegrounds where some people in the past have actually witnessed a battle as if it were being fought again. What I would like you to do, Teresa, is find it in your heart to pray for the souls who died in your Civil War. You, my friend, have the gift of "sight" and use it wisely and to the best of your ability. If you have anything in the future that you are unsure of, please do not hesitate to contact me again. After all, that is what I am here for. I wish you well in the future. Love your home also, and never be afraid of your gift. God bless you and your family over there in America. Angie.

Question: My questions are: Why is this entity causing problems and staying in my life? And, what should I do about clearing my house and bringing happiness into our lives? Dijay
Answer: Dear Dijay. Thank you so much for writing me via The Night Watchman Chronicles. I was appalled at the feelings you have been getting for many years, and the worry and upset you have suffered. I was feeling so much negativity in your words and I really feel for you. You do not tell me if this house you live in is the same one you lived in as a little girl and whether you know the history of the property. You have a lot of psychic ability, and many people are like yourself, Dijay, they get their clairvoyance whilst in the sleep state. Also, you are wide open to Spirit without closing down, thus allowing the dark in. Because you are so afraid, for yourself and your children, this has become a way of life for you. Firstly, Dijay, you MUST look to the light. The darkness and the feeling it brings with it must be eliminated. Light rooms, especially your bedroom, must be bright and cheerful - banish the dark from it. Pretty light colors everywhere. This "boogieman", as I want to call this Spirit who walks in the dark, needs praying for and showing the way. I am picking up strongly that he is still earthbound. As I do not know the history of your home I cannot give my opinion here, but if he once lived in the house, he probably thinks it's still his home and must be told. I don't know if you have a Spiritualist Church where you say you live as I think you could get help there, or they will put you in touch with somebody who would come to your home and try and banish this dark person that seems to bully you so much. I have a healing book here in my home in England, and I am going to put you, and your family in it. Another suggestion I have, Dijay, is for you to move away from that house and start afresh in a new home. Whether this is possible I have no idea as I do not have much information other than the worry you are having. Also, Dijay, you must ask your Guides in Spirit to protect you in your sleep and waking state. When you next feel this man or the darkness he brings, tell him that he must leave your home and walk through the light. Then, imagine a wonderful golden light and tell him to walk towards and through this light, and to leave you and your family in peace, but at the same time telling him you want him to find peace. I will pray for you. If you would like to write to me again, please do as I would like to see an end to your worries. Lastly, Dijay, you MUST close "your door" and ask your dear Guides to be with you at all times. Positivity is the word here, Dijay. God's blessings go with this letter to you and your loved ones.

Question: First, I would like to offer my prayers for Daniel. Was glad to hear the operation was a success. Hope he will grow to be a strong young lad. I would like to ask if you can help me with something that is on my mind. I have three young sons, two of which went to the U.S. Army in July of this year. When we took our second son to the recruiting office to start his new journey, my husband looked up to the sky and, in the clouds, were a set of crossed swords. We did not understand the meaning of this, so we talked about it for a moment, then went on with our lives. It had been exactly four months to the date that our son left and we got photos from him. The first photo from the stack of many was a photo of a plaque with crossed swords - the same design as in the clouds. Can you maybe help me to understand a meaning behind this? My husband thinks that maybe it could be a sign from someone from the family whom has crossed over. Could you please ask your guides to help us see a light on this subject? Thank you for your time and God bless you. Teresa.
Answer: Dear Teresa. Thank you so much for writing to me via Night Watchman. As soon as you said crossed swords, I was taken to the swords of Iraq. As I cannot see the future, I cannot tell if your son will go to Iraq. That gateway is an imposing place. Another explanation, Teresa, is the two swords seen in the clouds could be crossed for his protection. I wish him luck... in fact, to all your sons. Keep the faith and ask the angels to guard them all. Thank you, also, Teresa for your kind words about Daniel. No more news yet so, as they say, "No news is good news." Daniel, in the Bible, braved the lions den so he was given a very strong name. He will need everyone's prayers as will his older brother. God bless and just think of the clouds' crossed swords as protection for your son. Angie Christie.

Question: Hi. I'm hopeful someone can help me. We just returned from a 2 day trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We've been there hundreds of times, but this was the first time that our youngest grandson joined us. We were window shopping down town when a shop with crystals & stones caught the boy's eye. We entered the shop to see the owner had just completed a puzzle of a Chinese Buddha. My 7-year-old grandson commented, "That's Chinese." The owner looked up with an astounded look on her face and questioned him. "How did he know it was Chinese when everyone else thought it was an India Buddha?" My grandson shrugged his shoulders and replied that he didn't know. We continued on to investigate the shop since, in our homeschooling classses, we are studying crystals and have made three different types ourselves. Anyway, the owner began to follow us around, listening and watching us talking quietly about the crystals. When a bowl, for lack of better, caught his eye, she sat down on the floor with him to show him how to play music on this bowl. He equated the sounds to wooden wind chimes and proceeded to tell her of the hollow tones. Again, this woman lifted an eyebrow and questioned him. This is where things got a little sticky. She asked did he know where he came from. His first response was his hometown and state, but she went on to ask where he came from before that. He furrowed his eyebrows and replied, "From his Mama." The lady pressed further, asking again where he came from before that and could he remember anything before his birth to his Mama. (For the record, we are Christians although my daughter has not attended church with her children. The boy I am referencing knows of God and Christ, but only what we teach. He doesn't go to Sunday school or Bible school.) I was uncomfortable with her questions and my grandson grew frustrated with her persistence and rose to his feet and walked away from the bowl he was playing to look at more stones. He is an extremely curious child and, eventually, saw a door and asked the owner where it led. When she opened the door for him, I was surprised to see a narrow stone hallway lined with metal suns & moons and a burning candle. I suspect it was an altar of some kind, but I doubt anyone kneels to pray or meditate on gravel. She took the time to discuss the suns and moons with him to some degree since we had also just completed studying Summer Solstice. We do school year round, mainly just to keep the boys busy. Summer is a lot more fun because we can branch out and follow curriculum to a T. We also do more field trips and explore natural forces more indepth in the summer. Both of my grandsons have extremely high IQ's, but both are also hyper active and public school's answer to that was sedation which we oppose. Either you comply to sedation or they pull your child from the main body and we also found our kids were bored and not applying themselves. Now, they apply themselves and get into their studies because we challenge them and hold their interest. Anyway, this woman and some of her friends were totally enamored with my grandson. When he was ready to go, he approached the woman and thanked her for her time and for sharing her shop with him. I felt somewhat peculiar when we left her shop and had a difficult time explaining to my grandson why she was asking so many questions. In truth, I don't know what the woman wished to know. I surmised she was a mystic or psychic or spiritualist of some kind. I told my grandson she was a mystic that thought he possessed special gifts. I could have told the lady my great grandfather, 1/2 Cherokee Indian, was known in his family and community as a psychic. My grandmother always whispered the term psychy. My mother is Irish/Cherokee and Dad was Welsh, Scots & Choctaw. My husband is Navaho, Choctaw and Spanish. We study history of our heritage with the boys in small degree, but steer clear of any discussions that are contrary to Biblical teachings. The fact I "chase ghosts" took years for my husband to accept. My mother, who is in her 80's, freaks out to this day and quotes scripture on how we aren't supposed to mess with spirits or the dead. I just now discuss my interests in small degrees with my friends. My older grandson took an interest in the paranormal a few years ago so we tour cemeteries, hotels and so forth together looking for ghosts, but I was at a total loss for an explanation about this woman's interest in my grandson. Does anyone know where her questions were actually leading? Better yet, what was I supposed to tell my grandson? I wasn't convinced he understood or accepted my answers. I don't know if he was annoyed or frightened by this woman, but he did wish to discuss her after we left. Thanks for any help you can offer. Linda
Answer: Dear Linda. My name is Angie Christie and you came through on my Q&A page. Thank you so much for writing to us at The Night Watchman and it is one of the most interesting stories I have read in a long time. What a super grandson you have, and so bright. Now, where to begin here? Firstly, I believe most strongly in reincarnation. That clever little boy has definitely been here on Earth before this life he now enjoys. I realized this also as I suspect, most strongly, did the lady who owned the shop. The wind chimes really made me smile. He knew and had it still in his mind that he had heard them before. Also, he knew the Buddha was Chinese. I have always thought of him as Chinese myself, never Indian. I have a little statue of Buddha also that was given to me by another spiritualist lady called Monica who passed away several years ago. Every time I see him, it reminds me of her. Can I explain what I believe, Linda? When a baby is born onto the Earth, he, like all of us humans and all animal life too, have not only a physical body, but a spiritual body and that is what goes back to 'home' as I call Spirit. The times children come out with strange, unexpected things is amazing. I would like you, please, to listen to MP3 interviews and it's my interview with The Night Watchman nearest the top of the page of interviews. I am not going into the story of my granddaughter, but would like you to listen to my story in the interview. Please find time as it's relevant to what is happening to your grandson. I was very annoyed to think that your grandsons' public school wanted to use sedation on them. NO, the fact of the matter here, Linda, is that they are so bright they were bored. Once you started getting them to take interest in learning from you it go their minds working. I pick up what fast learners they are. I know, Linda, that the lady would have loved to question your little one as she picked up how spiritually aware he is. He also has so many Indian nations in his blood that is also coming out in him. As he grows older, he may lose this awareness or, if you are lucky, spirit will be with him still, working with him. I feel the latter. Often people are vexed by spirit but I feel that you are not and I would tell you that I was a Catholic and that you can also read about me on the website. I have a North American guide called Running Cloud who helps me through my life and gives me strength. We all have guides, your grandsons too. Cherish those boys and, if the little one had been older and spiritually interested, you would find he would have sat with this lady in her shop and discussed with her the questions she tried to ask him. As to what you should tell your grandson about his time in the shop, just say that the lady found him a very interesting little boy and wanted to make him feel welcome. As you, yourself, said, he wanted to talk about her so it did not worry him. God bless you and your family. Once again, I hope I have answered your question and put your mind at rest. All blessings, Angie Christie, Night Watchman Chronicles, England
