Peace be with you Brothers/sisters.

This is a Serious question, not for those who are looking for a laugh.

I am trying to find others who have, truthfully, has the same experience as I have.

About a year ago, I was at a prayer meeting, praising and worshipping the Lord (in a church), when, from the corner of my eye, I saw someone (male figure) approaching me from the right. I stepped forward to let him pass behind me. He went behind me and stopped. I turned around to face him and say “please, do move on”, when I saw no one behind me. As this place was near the Baptismal Font, and it was a dead end, there really was no place he could have gone. This was the first.

Since then, there have been many countless instances, where a similar figure would walk behind me and disappear, while I was at work. The last occurrence was yesterday, when he walked past me to my right, while I was at the gym.

I have even heard voices (not in my head) but in my ears. Voices of praise, of singing and even whistling the same song that I am whistling. Once, my wife heard it too, for one second AFTER I had stopped.

I should mention here, that I have an above normal acuteness in hearing and a wide angle of vision, about 270 degrees.

Has anyone out there had this experience? Please do share it with me.

As I said before, jokers and pranksters, please refrain from posting.

Dominus vobiscum.

I have had angelic experiences, more than one, but the one that affected me most was an encounter with an angel I met while on public transit, we actually spoke, and I was blown away by the sheer love and beauty I saw in his eyes, there is nothing on earth to compare it to. I have had other experiences especially during times of great distress, wherein I saw and/or heard something that can only be described as otherworldly.

God bless!

This is awesome. May I ask what you spoke about?

Yes, more than once.

And one time, a priest insisted that it had indeed been two angels that had rescued me from a burning car … To me, they looked like two young blonde men who had come running from way down the street to tell me that my car was on fire (I just thought steam was rising from the radiator or water pump or something). Of course they disappeared about the same time that the police showed up to drive me to a police station so that relatives could come pick me up.

And the day my grandmother died, I had sent my guardian angel ahead of me in a snow storm while on my way to visit her for Christmas. I had prayed for the angel to prepare everything for my visit, because grandma had Alzheimer’s disease and was in a nursing home so I hoped she would remember me. I had to drive from Ohio to New York. Well, right at the time she died, an image of my grandmother came into my mind, while I was praying for my other deceased grandparents as I was passing a graveyard. And the reason I was passing the graveyard in the first place was because some stranger in a Burger King along the road had warned us to go by another route because the blizzard would only get worse on the highway. Along this other route, you could actually see blue sky, the wind was less … and there were graveyards, and it’s my habit to pray for the souls in purgatory when I pass them by.

Another time, I had sent my guardian angel to watch over my best friend Heidi (spiritualunity) whom I met here on CAF … she was in phone contact with me and had let me know about a particular dangerous situation she was in. So after I went to sleep, it seems my angel came back in the middle of the night. I was turning over and it seemed like my angel went to touch me gently to wake me up, and said, “Pray.” … So half-asleep, I responded in my mind, "Oh all right, I’m praying, I’m praying … " and said a Hail Mary. And then the next time I talked to Heidi on the phone, she told me exactly what she had been facing that night, and that she had been rescued from it. Not only from my prayers though. Through the mercy of God, and also from all the prayers that people here on CAF were saying for her in the Prayer Intentions section of this forum.

And also when my father died, I believe my angel appeared in disguise the evening right before he died, and then along the highway as I was driving to the wake.

Those are some instances.

… While in Fatima, Portugal, as part of a youth pilgrimage, the priest Father Robert J. Fox had us all say a prayer consecrating us to our guardian angels … that said, my angel had already been helping me before then.

Well…I guess this counts as an angelic experience. A fallen angel. I was in Church, in line for confession on a Saturday, and in our parish we have two priests, and two lines about 20 feet apart. I was looking at the people in the other line and I saw this beautiful girl, and then I realized I was being distracted and prayed against lust. Then, as if disturbed by something, the girl turned around. Her face…i dont know what it was but it was awful. Her eye sockets were frighteningly hollow, her eyes frighteningly dark. I averted my eyes, then realized what it was. It stared at it and it stared at me. Nobody else could see her(it, whatever…). I silently prayed and told her silently in the Name of Jesus to leave. it disappeared. BUT I see it, never fails, doing something, loitering, around the church at mass every Sunday. i havent seen it at confession again though. It seems like a personal attack because even when she becomes unhumanly scary and ugly nobody bats an eye, talks to her, or looks her way. It always tries to attack me with lust. Ive asked for angels to fight it off but it hasnt left yet. I wouldnt call it “oppression” or even “temptation” because my purity is very strong. Its just creepy. I saw it in a dream a few weeks ago and it had black wings. But I dont know if that was a nightly visit or my imagination.
 
Oh ive also had interior locutions from my guardian angel, and he or she, I wast sure which told me t=her or his name, either Karl or Carol. I couldnt tell. But I have no idea what my angel looks like and ive never heard it audibly or seen it with my eyes.
 
Is the guardian angel the one at your right side?

I always feel there’s a good force at my right side. And if I didn’t do the right thing, or I rebel, it feels like I’m going far away from him. And if I regret/repent from my stubbornness or my mistake, it feels like I’m near him again.

If it is, we can communicate with him? By prayer?

Ive never felt what you describe to your right, but thats cool and yes i think that is your angel. In answer to your other question, yes, we can communicate with him in prayer. And it can communicate with us in locutions or visions.
 
You tell me.
After I woke up from a car accident, I couldn’t see my husband from my peripheral vision. I couldn’t move. I was now alone in the car
I thought I was dead form a huge hole in my chest.
A figure came up to my side of the car - the window had been blown out - she was in all white with blonde hair, bright blue eyes.
“I’ll stay with you til they come. You will be fine. You will be okay.”
She was still there as the police, firemen and EMTs arrived but then she was gone, though I didn’t see her walk away.
I asked the fireman if the woman was still around.
“What woman? A driver called this in.”

:confused:
 
I haven’t seen angels, but I have seen Jesus in a dream (if it can be so called, it felt nothing like any other dream) with very important information on the direction he wanted me to take my life, and I once heard the voice of the lord while I was in prayer about the fate of miscarried children. (The voice simply asked “Do you love them more than I do?”)

While I haven’t seen angels, I have seen fallen angels, demons, both in their extraordinary and menacing apparitions and quite frequently as orbs of light that flit around going about their business of tempting and accusing. I believe this is a charism given to me in particular since others haven’t been able to see those orbs, but it might be that close contact with occult practitioners early in my life (for which I was not culpable) has left me particularly aware of the presence of evil spirits and the dangers inherent in them.

P.S. One ought to use careful discernment in the case of contact, seemingly, with an angel. Demons really do disquise themselves as magnificent beings of light (and I’m not just talking about those tiny orbs).
 
There is a Lutheran friend of ours who told us about her experience when she was about 20 years old.

She was on the highway when a huge snowstorm hit. She could barely see and there were cars in front and behind her. She had to pull over and so did the others. She was very frightened since she was between cities and many miles from anywhere. And she worried how she would get out of this if the snow ever stopped. And worried also about her gas holding out. She was there for a while when the storm finally stopped. But the snow was too deep for most cars to get back on the highway. When suddenly there appeared 3 young men with blonde hair and dressed in overhauls who were going car to car pushing them back on the highway.

These 3 men came out of nowhere to help and they were miles from any town. And when the cars were back on the road again, they disappeared just as they had appeared.

Interesting. Ever seen a demon that was more than an orb? like the shape of a human?

What did they look like? Ive seen one, which is sort of following me around, that looks like a 19 year old girl about five foot four, beautiful, except with no eyes in the eye sockets. What did the ones you see look like?
 
After about six years of fighting prostate cancer, and about three months before his death, my husband went to confession for the second time in his life after 41 years of marriage. (He was baptized but not catechized as a child and took instructions and received the sacraments about a month before we were married.

About one week before his death he had home hospice, and our parish priest came to anoint him and bring him the Eucharist. I prayed a lot to St. Raphael the Archangel during that time. When our children, eight of them, all adults, (who lived all over the United States) learned that he was near death they started to arrive at our house. When the last child arrived, we had a prayer meeting around his bed, then our children (all adults) shared about how they appreciated the good times they had together with him. (He wasn’t able to speak at that time.) We then played his favorite song on a CD “On Eagle’s Wings.”

He died during the night, and I called the hospice lady and she came over. When you have home hospice you don’t have to call 911; they take care of all that. Fast forward to the one-night wake, then the beautiful funeral Mass. We all had so much peace.

The next morning we were together having breakfast in my kitchen, and while sitting there I looked out of the window to our backyard where beyond our fence there was a forest. A flash of light like a giant flashbulb of a camera went on, then off…I didn’t jump, and no one knew about it until I wrote about it a few days later. When the light happened a deep peace and calm went through me, and I felt in my being that Raphael was saying “Hi” to me, reminding me that he had been interceding all that time. I have a devotion to St. Raphael to this day! That entire time before and after his death was so filled with peace and love.

Peace,

Dorothy

The first one I ever saw looked like a person with no feet covered in a burial shroud. Difficult to describe in writing. On another occasion it looked like a skeleton with the faint remains of flesh and a shroud rotting off of it. Frequently I would see one sitting at the computer out of the corner of my eyes as I walked past. It just looked like the silhouette of a person. Of a similar build to my older brother, but beyond that I don’t have any detail.

It really isn’t a good Idea to dwell on such things though. I recommend you make intercessory prayers of exorcism (as opposed to prayers of direct imprecation.) and get a miraculous medal and cross of St Benedict. Deepen your prayer life and don’t ever try to communicate with it. True devotion to Our Lady is one of your most powerful protections as most exorcists would tell you.

May the Lord bless you and Our Lady watch over you.

Wow. Just, wow.
 
Many …
The latest was this past Sunday when I was singing the Pentecost sequence at Mass.
I heard a man singing along. From the congregation.

I thought it strange, since it’s a very unusual piece that I sang a capella with a sequence of 10 verses + an amen alleluia with six completely different tunes.
Here is a sample (w/o the ending 6th piece).
chantcafe.com/2012/05/sequence-for-pentecost-veni-sancte.html

It’s an amazing piece if done right and I both dread and look forward to it all year.

I had several surprises that morning and lost the extra time I had set aside to go over it.

The “man” kept me in tune and freed me from my fear.
When I asked my husband about it later, he said that there was only me singing.
Though I insisted that there was another, he said it had to be an angel because there was absolutely no-one but me singing.

At the end of the service, a congregant stood up and exclaimed over the special quality of the music that day. It was an unprecedented out-pouring of love from the entire congregation as they all burst into spontaneous, general applause.
Now, applause for people during Mass makes me squirm… It is not appropriate.
This was not like that … it was gratitude towards God for all came to us that day.

Praise God. I thank Him for his grace.
It’s hard to say how many true angels we have seen in our lives since they seek no glory for themselves - only God.

BTW: I have learned from personal experience that it is the angelic on our right, and demonic on our left: this is where the custom of throwing salt over our left shoulder came from. You are telling the devil to go away.

Thank you. I have both medals, and have a pretty strong prayer life. But the thing that I dont understand is that it wont leave. Its not even doing anything to me besides being incredibly creepy and distracting. But I have prayer, I have medals, i know my guardian angel. We talk sometimes. But it will not leave.
