My friends think I'm going crazy . . .
My friends think I'm going insane because I had a strange, but very true, spiritual experience. I was home alone, getting ready for a school dance. I came out of the bathroom and there was a ghost standing right there in front of me. I couldn't see or hear her, but I knew she was there. She had long brown hair and a ragged white dress on. I just stood there silently, as did she, and I was slightly frightened, but I didn't get and 'evil' vibe off her, so I just stood where I was. After a moment, she asked me where Wall Street was. I described it to her and pointed in the in the direction, since Wall Street is the street that is right by my house. I felt foolish, but for some reason I knew she really needed to know, so I told her. After I was done, she left silently and I went about my business. Three days later, there was a car accident on the corner of Wall Street, and someone was hurt I think, but no one died. I was freaked out because I felt taht the angel had asked me so she could watch over the corner and make sure no one died. Or something like.
My friends were rather uncomfortable when I told them, and they changed the subject after that. For awhile they treated me like I was mentally unstable or something. Do you think I'm going crazy? My father also got angry when I told him, he said something like, "You know ther angels are there, there's no need to talk about them!" My mom was the only one who didn't think Iw as crazy and comepletely believed me. Do you have any say on this?
Thanks for your time-

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
First of all... No one can tell you that what you experienced wasn't real. The reason why is that our sense of reality is highly subjective... And science and quantum physics actually back me up on this one. Science suggests there are dimensions that exist that we can not perceive because they are beyond the realm of our five senses. That's our limitation... We live in an incredibly complex world and are only able to perceive it in parts. Another limitation... While science has taught us a lot about the world we live in and ourselves... The more we learn the more we realize that there is still MORE we don't know. Simply put... We are primitive creatures trying to understand the infinitely complex universe we live in.
And how is what you experienced strange? Look at some of the things that people believe and tell me what's weirder, the stuff that people believe without questioning or you? For example, most of our nation believes (and I'm not trying to offend anyone I'm merely trying to make a point) that a man was born from a virgin mother two-thousand years ago and that he was God. During his lifetime he conversed with angels, cast out demons, performed numerous miracles... And after he died he was resurrected, ascended to heaven, and now exists as the only way to gain salvation.
Not saying it isn't true. Not trying to disrespect anyone... I'm just saying... When you think about it, it's pretty strange, isn't it? That almost seventy percent of the world believes this without being there to have seen it, simply believing this because of personal accounts written in documents dating bach many centuries.
The only point I'm trying to prove is that what you're saying isn't really that strange. Neither is it impossible. I don't know you... But I seriously doubt that you're crazy.
And if anyone is looking at you like you're crazy... It's not because you are, it's because you're saying something that is outside the accepted 'strange-ness' level of most people and it makes them uncomfortable. A lot of people are scared of what they don't understand or can't relate to. I'm guessing that most of the people you've told, haven't had an experience anything like yours... And that's why their giving you static.
Simply... Don't pay attention. Let it go, and eventually they'll even forget about it or pretend that it never happened. I'm not saying that you should do the same... I'm just saying that if you don't want people to look at you like you're crazy, you need to be selective about the people that you talk to about this sort of thing. Your mother believes you and doesn't seem to be uncomfortable about the idea... So if you want to discuss it, discuss it with her.
If you take anything away from this experience let it be this: that there exists beyond you something greater, something beyond your current level of understanding and there is a real connection there. A lot of people may be unreceptive to your discovery... And that's okay. This isn't about them, this is about you. So discover what you believe for yourself, don't let other people decide for you or get in your way. Because the experience is more important than what people think.
And just a note: I'm not endorsing any religion. I'm endorsing spirituality.

The spirit world is real. I say this as a skeptic and person who questions most everything. Be true to yourself and take it for what it is, not what other people say about it. Be open but not unaware, careful, not not afraid. Do not add more or take away from what really happened for anyone. The universe, the unseen chooses us when and where it wishes, and we are blessed for it.

i dont really understand. you said you couldnt hear her, yet heard her asking you smth?
hmm ...
but yes these things happen. for example my grandma kept seeing a ghost as well and then a few days later the ghost his sceleton was found under the house. sry i dont wanna freak you out though.
but i've also had some experiences for example i had a dream that something was gonna happen the next day and it did.
or i just had the feeling that this guy i liked suddenly came online on myspace (and he wasnt online for an intire year :P)
and the thing that happened to you may seem really weird but then again, isnt everything weird if you think about it? just the fact that we're alive and have a soul is kinda scary. it's just all a matter of being 'used' to these kinda things.
for example did you know that a baby would find it completely normal if his/her dad would suddenly fly on the roof. that is, because it's not used to what we find 'normal' i mean dont dads do other weird things, like shaving and using hairgroth products?
so what i'm trying to say is thaz maybe what happend to you wasnt that 'strange'.
i cant really explain the thingy with the accident.
but yoz could also try talking to a professional about it. he might give you answers to that.
hope i helped a little

Its not about what others believe, its what you believe. Other people have influences, seen or hidden, that will divert them away from what is. If you truly belive it was an angel, then maybe it was. None of us can know for sure, because we weren't there. But I can tell you different people have different experiences or insights of anamolies that occur all over the world.
Really, all you have to do is remember what happened and know it happened to you. Since you already told people and they obviously don't want to listen, there might be something special about you. But don't get the idea you can see angels now. Because...
1: even though there was nothing evil felt 'spirit', it does not mean it didn't have evil intentions
2: the fact there was a car crash gives me this theory, even if no one was hurt
3: its somewhat doubtful an angel would take on some invicible form and ask for directions
But know that I don't think your crazy and I mostly believe you. And I don't want to ruin the feeling of amazement, but it seems like there's a lot of negative influence around where you are, so though I feel its unlikely, its possible...
