20 Examples Of How The Dead Contact Us With Messages Or Signs

I have published many posts about white feathers and white doves and how these may, at times, be thought of as messages or signs from the dead.

On one of the posts a reader left a comment telling how a loved one had died recently but she hadn’t seen any white feathers – and how she was hoping she would soon.

I’d like to clarify that not everyone sees white feathers or doves. Messages or signs can come in many different forms, often unique to an individual. I have previously given an example of when my own dad died:

I wasn’t aware of seeing any white feathers or doves after my dad’s death. I first noticed them following the death of my mother and then two other very close people in my life.

There are a myriad of  ways the deceased could contact us. I think we experience a gut instinct of what is real to us personally when we receive some sort of message. It’s hard to describe, but it feels right – a moment of knowing perhaps.

What follows are links that show various ways people claim to have received messages or signs from those who have passed over.

I’d better stop there at twenty examples. I realise some readers may not believe all of the stories in the posts listed. Some will say we are fooling ourselves when we think we have received some sort of message or sign  from the dead. That’s okay, it’s up to us to decide what we want to believe.

I personally have no doubt that we live on.

It’s also interesting how those who are dying themselves sometimes appear to see their loved ones who have died. There’s an example of this on The Dying Can Speak To Those Who Have Died
