The first experience in 1986 happened after the death of both my grandfathers, three weeks apart. They had both suffered long with terminal illnesses. While visiting my paternal grandfather, he described in detail Heaven as shown to him by God and wanted to go. I asked him that if God would allow it, for him to give me a sign that he arrived and was happy. A few weeks after his death, I was awoken by someone shaking me. It was my grandfather, standing next to my bed smiling. At that time I was shocked to see him and he slowly disappeared. My sister was awoken the same night in the same way, only she had a conversation with him. He later appeared while I was awake and tipped his hat to me as I left my grandmother's home one evening. After this encounter my intuitive abilities increased dramatically. I had an out of body experience shortly after that and saw my husband in a lounge with another woman. I was able to recount their entire conversation to him, including what she looked like and what they were wearing. He accused me of following him. My physical body was home in bed asleep, and the spirit part of me sat next to their table observing.

The experience in 1991 happened during an ugly custody battle and after finding my grandmother dead in her home while seven months pregnant with my first child. I had moved into my own home and felt very comfortable there. My 18 month old liked to go downstairs with me to do laundry. I would always go first and turn on the light, then he would descend on his tummy. Just after I flipped the light switch I heard him cry out and saw him tumbling head first down the stairs. I cried out "Dear God help me!" and witnessed my son suspended in mid-air by one leg, the rest of his body dangling. He arched his back to look up at who had hold of him. I was there with my arms out to catch him, but a few more seconds passed before he was gently placed in my arms. I was totally awake at this time. Months later, while asleep, I watched myself personally handing my child to Jesus and felt the love and peace as I did so. I still remember the look in His eyes and the color of the white light that surrounded Him. It was like nothing I have ever seen before or can really describe.

The experience of 1997 was a year after a second marriage and the birth of my second child. My anger from the continued lies started more frequent out of body experiences in which I could follow him without leaving my home. He accused me of hiring a private investigator to discover his involvement with prostitutes.

The experiences in 2002 were during my father's frequent hospital visits and surgeries. He is now in the final stage of heart disease and nothing more can be done for him.

The experience of 2005 happened last night. While in my body, I have always been afraid of heights. But enjoy the out of body ability to fly about and above trees if I choose without fear. I was flying about the city enjoying the blooming trees and flowers but was being drawn against my will to my former husband's apartment. There was a light on in the window and was heading toward it. I did not want to see him or what was going there and a battle ensued between my body and spirit. I awoke with uncontrollable tremors and pain in both of my legs and felt intense fear throughout my entire body. It lasted for several minutes afterward.
