My Family's Clairvoyant Gifts

I come from a family of clairvoyants and emotional telepaths
who are somewhat in-tuned to the spiritual world because of our mixed
beliefs. Our abilities are somewhat inborn into the family genetics and
some abilities were inherited from our ancestors who would often
communicate with the spirit world. Plus on the land we live on dwells
the spirits who share their home with us.
My relatives have shared numerous encounters with the other side
with me, such as the story my uncle told me: Way back in the 70s when
our neighborhood wasn't very occupied and only a few houses were around,
my aunt (one of the sisters of my mom) was left alone in our spooky,
dark, and silent house. She was left playing in one of our livingrooms
where a lot of spiritual activity happens. Suddenly she could hear
footsteps coming from the ceiling; hard and loud footsteps that seemed
to linger right above where she was playing at. Chills crept up her
spine and she began to move away, but the footsteps and banging just
kept following her wherever she went. Even when she was running and
screaming the steps ran and followed after her until she finally ran
outside to daylight. This story has been validated by my other aunts and
uncles.
I have tons more stories, some chilling, some scary and others just
plain creepy.
But let me share my own experience. Since my grandfather is a WWII
veteran, he's seen and experienced a lot more than most other people.
The whole family believes this spirit protected him through the war,
since one of his experiences was running back and forth along the
frontline in an intense gunfight between Filipino and Japanese troops --
he was commanding his troops back then.
In any case, fast-forward to the year 2004, my whole family was
relaxing in our resthouse about 40 miles north of this city. The land
the house is standing on is cursed -- all those who have owned, have
gone bankrupt. I believe this is true since my grandfather is losing a
lot of money to an evil and possibly possessed eldest daughter. My
experience happened while falling asleep in his room. Strangely enough,
I felt an intense presence within the room but I didn't feel scared or
creeped out, which is something I am prone to feel. The presence just
felt 'safe' but it sure was there, as I could feel it enveloping me.
I was half-asleep then, and simply fell back into my deep slumber a
minute later. I later narrated my experience to my grandfather and he
simply smiled and said, "Yes, it's true."
I wasn't born with the ability to 'see' ghosts, unlike most of my
maternal family, but I do know when they want to be felt. And I can
somewhat read other people's minds and form somewhat of an subconscious
link with them while talking or engaging in casual conversation.
Another story involves the death of one of our longtime nannies, and
a spot she loved to sit on during the afternoons. She died of an
embolism close to a year ago. On of our maids told us that on the night
of her funeral, our maid was cleaning the plates up all alone in the
house (our whole family was in our resthouse where the funeral was held)
when all of a sudden the dogs started barking rather wildly. She looked
out the kitchen window toward the porch where the dogs were barking and
could see them looking up at an invisible figure while howling and
barking all at the same time. The porch was where our nanny used to sit
during the afternoons before she died. The invisible figure soon,
retreated back into the house, as if retiring for the night.
Take note, this all happened at the night of our nanny's funeral.
Probably visiting one last time before passing on to the other side?
