<p>Brenda, I truly believe we receive messages from the other world spirits, and also from the Religious Spirits which surround us. Would you be comfortable giving some details of your experiences?</p>

<p>Since it is not up to us to decide the fate of others, we pray for those who have passed (since if we believe in the Resurrection of Christ) they also are <em>alive</em> in Christ. We merely <em>fall asleep in the Lord</em> until the Second Coming. Also, not wishing to get too religious on you.</p>

<p>I am a religious person. I don't think this is any more offensive or 'out there' than me asking for Divine Intervention. Some records in my family tree just do not exist. The tenth child of my sixth great-grandparents only has a year of birth. Her mother who died after the child was born, although there is no real reason given for this death, just the mention the child was born, and that it was during an Indian uprising.

<p>I am a religious person. I don't think this is any more offensive or 'out there' than me asking for Divine Intervention. Some records in my family tree just do not exist. The tenth child of my sixth great-grandparents only has a year of birth. Her mother who died after the child was born, although there is no real reason given for this death, just the mention the child was born, and that it was during an Indian uprising. So, my sixth great-grandmother only has a year of decease. It's truly sad. Not only that, but her remains have never been found. She's in a forest, somewhere near the Nolichucky River in what is now Tennessee.</p>
<p>There are 'unseen forces' in this world. I would continue to dig to see if this person you were 'directed' to has a story that needs be told. Or, that you may also be related.</p>
<p>Me? After prayer I awoke one morning thinking it was someone's birthday in the family, only to realize when I was fully awake, that it wasn't so. I marked that date as little Nancy's birth date. Today, I also awoke from a 'strange' dream in which I felt I should send a bereavement card to a relative, only to realize the deceased had died a few years ago and said card wouldn't be appropriate now. I take this as an answer, too.</p>
<p>I, too, mean no disrespect to anyone. I just know I've got some peace, now.</p> Jim, that is very interesting…tag:www.genealogywise.com,2015-01-05:3463583:Comment:6940292015-01-05T16:22:53.368ZBeth McBridehttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/BethMcBride

<p>Jim - I have a theory I want to throw by you. Last night I was having a dream about helping a girl who lives east of town fill out a college application. This was odd enough because I have no idea who she was and I never went to college so know nothing about college applications. Then this totally unrelated theory hit me. It is a little disjointed so I'll do it in sections. You know when you go to Farnsworth and the battle grounds the ghosts you are in contact are soldiers, the little boy,…</p>
<p>Jim - I have a theory I want to throw by you. Last night I was having a dream about helping a girl who lives east of town fill out a college application. This was odd enough because I have no idea who she was and I never went to college so know nothing about college applications. Then this totally unrelated theory hit me. It is a little disjointed so I'll do it in sections. You know when you go to Farnsworth and the battle grounds the ghosts you are in contact are soldiers, the little boy, etc. You don't seem to have any 79 year guys who died peacefully in their sleep. It seems to be painful or distressful deaths that create ghosts. Now it is generally accepted that the soul separates from the body at death and it is that spirit you are being in contact with. Following so far? What if someone who is in so much pain and/or distress actually has their soul detach from their body before the death is 100% complete? Either because of the unnaturalness of their death or they are willing themselves to die because of the pain? What if that means there is a smidgen of life left, 1% ½% maybe less. Might that trace of life is attached to the soul and prevents them from moving on and at the same time can't reattach to the body which is in no condition to accept it and getting worse by the second. Could this be the reason they are still between worlds? Now I have never heard of this theory until I dreamed it up last night. Have you heard anything like this before? Does it redline you crazy meter? Do you think it makes sense. I know there is no way to prove or disprove it, I just want to know if you think it is rational.</p> I was out to the Almshouse Ce…tag:www.genealogywise.com,2014-12-23:3463583:Comment:6932352014-12-23T03:02:33.385ZJim Averyhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/JimAvery
<p>I was out to the Almshouse Cemetery on Sunday. Someone had placed colorful artificial flowers on each grave. They had also placed large American flags on each veteran's grave and a smaller flag on each soldier's widows grave. The people buried there are buried in the order they died, not by family.

<p>Wow over 2000 views, Thanks to those who looked at this. Since I have been working alot at the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg doing Ghost Hunts I haven't had much time for paragenealogy research. I am going over this afternoon for a possible history tour. If no one shows up I may walk up to Evergreen Cemetery where Rebecca is really buried not too far from her husband, Sam Little who is buried in the National Cemetery.

<p>I hope the gate was not slammed, just gently closed. What is the name of the FB page you told me about & I visited but did not save. It is fun when others share our interests and contribute. I hope they have contacted Rebecca. Is there a season, or temperature more favorable to contacting the spirits?</p>
