Witness: Colette Hampton
Location: Milton, Cambridgeshire, England

I’m trying to make sense of some strange things that have occurred in my life over the past 2 years. Firstly, I saw 2 child ghosts in my kitchen, this was approximately 2 years ago, they were wearing very old fashioned clothes, so they must of been from the period 1800-1899. It was a boy and a girl and they looked like brother and sister, they stared and me and I looked away in disbelief, and when I turned back around they were gone. The emotion I felt when I saw these 2 children was extreme sadness as if they had died tragically at a young age. I guess they were about 6-7 years old and they were the same height, so perhaps they were twins.
I live in a block of flats built in 1978, so there isn’t really any old history with where I live, other than a graveyard that is very close by. I saw another ghost of an old man with a walking frame, he was in regular 21st century clothes, and this happened at my place of work in December last year. This ghost then disappeared through a door. I have also felt someone breath on my neck in my kitchen at home (this was about 2 years ago) and something grabbed my arm in the bathroom at work, this happened in December last year. Another odd experience — I woke up one day over Christmas time to see a white figure hovering over me, it was only there for a minute or so and then it disappeared. I also see faces of people I have never met when I close my eyes and I dream of ghosts. I feel other people’s emotions and it can be very draining. I sometimes dream things and then they happen. I would like some guidance on whether I am a psychic medium. I have never communicated with the dead, but having had all of these weird experiences over the last 2 years I feel I may be. Many thanks, Colette.
Collette:
Mediums are folks who communicate with the dead and are often associated with channeling, the ability to allow a spirit to take over a person’s body in order to communicate. You are most certainly able to see spirits, so I’d probably just say psychic regarding that. More importantly, you are clearly an empath. You are able to pick up on the emotions of others which can be a burden (as you are now learning) unless you learn how to turn it off. Psychic abilities are like any trait or tool; they have to be mastered. Consider finding someone in your area who can teach you to better live with your abilities. They are a gift when mastered, but can be a burden when not. Hope this helps.
Hi Colette,
Having similar experiences to you, I think you are indeed a psychic medium. Continue to pay attention and when you see a being, concentrate to see if you get specific messages or his or her story. Sometimes those details will be very clear. Sometimes not so much. Stay aware and embrace this gift. I think it’s cool.
