Life after death evidence
Today, I’m excited to share submissions from Powered by Intuition readers about encountering the spirit of a deceased loved one.
These stories illustrate what I believe: We’re all connected in spirit and naturally intuitive. Each of these readers is a mediumistic in their own right. Communication with the spirit of a loved happens spontaneously and requires no preparation such as, the need to study psychic development or mediumship..
Their stories prove that the love that connects us to one another survives physical death and is all we need to receive a communication from the spirit world. Your loved ones want to let you know they are okay. They want to let you know they still love you and will always be with you. All you need to do is stay open to receiving their message.
These four personal encounters are great examples of the variety of ways your loved ones communicate their presence to you.
Seeing a spirit
When I was a young girl approximately 8 or 9 years old my favorite uncle passed away from a heart attack. I was devastated by his death, he was always the one who was there for my brother, sister and I. Our favorite ritual if you will, was heading down back to the lower part of our property to build a camp fire for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. My uncle Bill would tell us stories, make us laugh and couldn’t get enough of those roasted marshmallows. Ha..On the morning of the funeral, we all went to say our goodbyes to a great man. Upon walking up to the casket and looking at my uncle, I knew he was no longer there. The only thing I saw was an empty body, I knew his spirit had moved on. The hardest part was knowing I would never see him again, not in this life anyway. I went home and cried myself to sleep that night..The following morning I awoke and sat up on the edge of the bed, when I looked up my uncle Bill was standing in the doorway looking down at me. There he was in his black pin stripe suit that he loved so well. I knew he came back to let me know that everything was alright and that his spirit would always be near..I wasn’t able to tell my parents about this experience because I knew in my heart they would never believe me. We were taught that there are no such things as spirits or ghosts and of course would have been punished had we ever spoke of such things. I pray that parents of today will be more open and receptive of things their children see and hear. I can tell you from personal experience that there is a spirit world and it isn’t something to be feared..–Susan Reese
Clairaudience – Hearing from the spirit world
A few years ago I was living in Florida and my aunt, who lived in Detroit area, was very ill and in the hospital. I was very close to her and my sister called to say she was dying. I immediately made a plane reservation to return to Detroit before she passed.
While on the plane I suddenly heard, “It’s all over now.”
Don’t know who said it to me but, it did not sound like her. When I landed my sister said she died and gave me the time 8:50 p.m. which was the exact time I had received the message.
While babysitting for my grandchild and doing my nails I heard my aunt, whom had passed say, “Bow, what in the world is going on?” I explained to her that she had passed and was now in the spirit world. She didn’t reply but, did not return to visit me again.

Smelling the presence of a spirit
My eldest son passed away 3 years ago.
It was my father`s 70th birthday recently.
We live 16,000 km apart on different continents & hemispheres.
They live in a mountainous area and don`t often have satellite reception.
I just sent a text message birthday wish.
Later that evening, in a specific area, I `smelled` my son’s scent.
A couple of days later it happened again.
I`m not sure, maybe it`s him making his presence known & acknowledging
this special time for his grandfather.–Xanele Talbot
When my father died, I was very shocked, and there was one thing I was really sorry about. I felt I mistreated him in one way, on a specific occasion, and I really felt sorry for hurting him (emotionally)..It was maybe about a year after he had passed, that I had this dream:I was in a graveyard of some kind, or larger field, other ‘people’ helpers were there (maybe angels), and then a floor door (or a door on the ground) opened, and out came my father, he came up the steps. I was so happy to see him, we hugged and embraced, and I told him, that I was so sorry about what happened, and that I didn’t want to hurt him. He told me, that all is fine, and that he had no hard feelings, and he completely understood, and didn’t take it personally. That all is well..I was so relieved and so happy, and then we had to say goodbyes , and he had to go down those steps again and retreat under ground..I wasn’t sad seeing him leave, it was all right.I know he was fine and that all is well.This very vivid dream helped me tremendously.I really believe he came and visited me from the other side…–Caroline Cameron.

i have been visited in dreams and kept company by a dear friend from high school who died far too young. its been over 40 years she has popped in to say hi. sometimes just to smile and hold my hands. sometimes to hug and kiss me , sometimes to tell me things. also give warnings and advice. and she delivers signs on request in broad daylight. her name was Rita. this lifetime at least. and she was a stunning beauty, half choctaw -half irish, with strawberry blonde hair, the big glistening eyes, with bits of yellow that made them glow like gold. big cheeks and broad thin lips and a huge ear to ear smile. Rita was the ultimate in charisma, charm, and sweetness, but with a wicked sense of humor and always positive and could cheer up anyone at any time. and everyone who ever was in her presence worship the ground she walked on. people call her a “divine being”, angelic, and when she died a city came to a grinding halt in grief. but within months i started having dreams in which Rita came to tell me she was fine, to not worry. be happy. she was. it didn’t hurt. she didn’t even have time to be scared. her reaction to realizing she was dead was, “bummer. i thought i had longer this time.” she was just short of graduation and on the poster of the school mascot the kids signed someone didn’t leave her out. she was right where she belonged, with huge capital letters under the bobcat’s eye; RITA. i didn’t tell anyone for years about the visits. that seemed to pretentious, even odd. who would believe me? but as the years went by i found others felt her presence when they thought or spoke of her. so it wasn’t just me. i went to israel on vacation and there planted a tree in her name in the Galilee, and broke a stone in 3 pieces. left one with the tree, brought back the other 2. i took her mother the certificate and she almost cried she was so proud. i had never in 6 years to visit the cemetery. i just couldn’t handle it. but i was going to take one of those pieces and bury it with Rita. i got there and asked for help finding her grave. there was no marker. i fell to my knees. after a bit i realized her parents were so distraught and heart broken they just couldn’t .it was admitting she was gone. their shining star, their crown jewel of 6 daughters. so i got up and went and had one made for her and kept it anonymous. i wanted no credit or blame. it was my top secret for decades. after that i started seeing Rita in more dreams and the feeling of love and comfort when i was down or having trouble kept me going. i would always get that feeling i was not alone and somebody cared.
i had dreams where Rita told me i should do this or that, she gave me warnings that i heeded. i was going through an intersection and her voice came to me and said slow down. i did just a tad, and a huge pickup loaded with oxygen tanks plowed into my car and tore the front end off. if i had not received the warning and listened it would have hit me directly. Rita saved my life. and in dreams she has told me what i should do and it always has proven to be valid information. i reconnected with her family last year and when i hugged her baby sister there was this feeling of pure happiness and love. i told my sister later; ITS RITA! well, the dreams got more intense and she told me bluntly she loves me and when its my time she will be there for me. and i had a medium tell me she is always at my right side. that is exactly where she always sits or stands in dreams. and i feel her presence when i am awake at my right. i talk to her and instinctively look to the right slightly. the medium was uncanny and told me things that only Rita and I would know. word for word conversations. the dreams are real and when i ask for signs Rita delivers them. the most recent visitation she is sitting with a big grey wolf with bright blue eyes. she gets up and hugs me and says; “i will love you forever , my dear friend.” and i believe her. and she told me all i do for her she appreciates and when i found the plot next to her is available i put down a deposit . i will be buried by my Rita. she said to me shortly after that; i know what you are doing . i think its sweet. its like you are marrying me. wow. and the medium told me how she was there for her mother and dad when it was their final days. mom had alzheimer’s and dementia. as her mind was going out she would wander off. they asked her what she was doing. “im looking for Rita.” well, when she passed , the medium told me Rita was there holding her hand, stroking her hair . singing to her. off key. she knew Rita could not sing. and when she passed her mind cleared and she recognized her little girl and said; Well , THERE you are! and they went off to the next world together. happy and with the love they always had for each other. i had a dream about a familiar looking strawberry blonde in a blue business style suit walking up to me and thanking me for her mom and dad for all i have done for them . i asked who she was “can’t you tell?” i looked into those big glistening sparkling eyes and realized who it was. “im Rita. not as you know. but you will. ” i was seeing my Rita the next time around. she is going to be as beautiful as ever. in the cemetery on the anniversary of Rita’s death, and by design perhaps, my birthday also, i was talking to her and commented it sure would be nice if she could give me a sign. in 2 minutes a small brown bird with a finch beak landed on the tombstone and cackled ; RITA! RITA!….RITA! i just looked up and went ” you’re GOOD”…. and signs like this occur in broad daylight , and the dreams too. in one she hugged me and said “i do love you so” i replied thats nice , but by the time i get where you are i will be old enough to be your grandfather. she replied; where i am , that’s not important. age and time mean nothing. between the humor and sweetness there is a profound and ancient and beautiful and powerful soul. that can communicate and manipulate the physical world. and she loves me. the medium says we have been associated one way or the other many times. married a few and will be so again. and again. a final note, i had to evacuate for hurricane Rita and made my way to the cemetery to pay my respects. well, out of nowhere the medium told me; Rita liked the joke about the storm. i thought wth? then it hit me. while at the cemetery that time i joked as i always do when i talk to her, “sorry its been a while since i came to visit. it took a storm with your name on it to get me down here.” there were no witnesses and i told nobody. yet she knew. only one person could have told her. so between the dreams and the signs and messages i get through the medium, i firmly believe we can talk to those on the other side. there are souls are are ancient and powerful and they can keep us company, and show us love and support. i wish you all had such an incredible holy being as Rita to follow you around. it can be so pleasant. and in Rita’s case funny. if you are going to be “haunted” its best if they are sweet and funny and they love you.
I’m yet to have that feeling of my loved one being connected with me in the afterlife, but I do know that I have had close family members that swear they have seen or felt the presence of a passed away husband or loved one.
Hi Anna,
Keep asking to feel their presence and eventually you will!
Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a comment.
Well, you know I’ve had a couple of encounters recently. Both were very positive experiences. I can’t explain it, I just know what happened. In neither case did I seek out the contact, but I recognized it when it happened. Very powerful and reassuring.
Hi Galen,
Yes, I remember them well! You knew – “claircognizantly” what happened.
It is powerful and unexplainable to others. You have to experience it firsthand to “know” that you just “know.” LOL
What wonderful stories Angela!! Thanks for sharing!
Betsy,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the post!
I think these stories are awesome! And it really is amazing how they always do show up right when you need them. My wife’s mother is frequently visited by her mother. She once experienced her touch her shoulders as she was washing the dishes. She turned around expecting her husband because the touch gave her a calm and peaceful feeling. When she turned around, no one was there. She knew it was her mother.
Thank you for sharing this!
Dear Shawn,
I’m so glad you enjoyed these stories. By the time we reach age 7 we’ve been socialized into noticing only “one reality.” The reality is that our world and the spirit world intersect and they are all around us and us all around them. I love your story about your mother in law. You should tell her to send in her story to me. I’m going to publish another post of readers’ stories.
Thanks so much for leaving your wonderful comment.
Thanks! I will have to talk to her about sending it in. I don’t see her that often, but I will ask her the next time I see her.
Thanks, Angela, I enjoy reading stories like these. I like what you said, “Encounters with the spirit world are not scary or spooky or unnatural.”
I could have watched too many movies. Since I was a little girl, I have been scared due to the portrayals that they are frightening. However, in the past few years, I have had experiences that are more comforting and reassuring. I still avoid scary movies though. I don’t like the idea of scaring myself silly with blood and gore.
Hi Evelyn,
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post.
I too avoid scary movies because they really do scare me!
I don’t like feeling afraid turn off the light in my bedroom.
I totally understand.
Both my late husband and my mum have ‘visited me’. I actually saw my husband sitting on our bed and he spoke the most wonderful words. My mum shows up in what I think of as ‘visions’ because I have no other word for what happens…she doesn’t always speak…just smiles at me and changes her appearance…it’s kind of cool.
I’m sure many of your readers are going to feel uplifted as they read this wonderful stories Angela.
Love Elle

Dear Elle,
How wonderful that your late husband still visits!
Seeing your Mom appear differently to you does sound very cool.
I love these stories too.

Angela
I can personally attest to my Mother “appearing” either inside my mind/heart or as a vision in my mind that leads me to the solution I am looking for.
The “presence” I love most is when I am cooking, and hesitate….and instantly feel the gentle encouraging words in my ear. My Mother lives on in my heart, giving me strength.
I dream of my Grandmother a lot and always wake up refreshed and happy 🙂
Beautiful post Angela. I love reading about experiences. Thank you!
Hugs, Vidya
Hi Vidya,
She’s always near you Vidya and I think she still enjoys cooking with you.
I bet your grandmother visits you in your dreams often.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post.
Hugs back,
Angela
Angela, Oh yes I absolutely have. Once one of my mother’s clippings of an inspirational poem just “appeared” in the middle of my kitchen floor while I was vaccuuming. I didn’t even know I HAD one of her clippings! I have a million stories of little things like that. They just let us know our loved ones are still around us from time to time, usually when we need them the most 🙂
Hi Julie,
That’s amazing! I bet you were so happy to find that too.
Yes, exactly – they show up when we need them most.
