Ghostly experiences

I wouldn't call it ghostly as such, but I have experienced communication with a friend of mine who passed away.

I am actively working on my ability to perceive and communicate with spirits, so this wasn't something that was unbidden - I was meditating upon him and reaching out to him.

I saw and heard my father just after he suddenly died when I was much younger. He appeared at the top of the stairs wearing the clothes he had on that day and said ‘it’s ok’ then disappeared.
I have convinced myself it was a dream because am sceptical and also it never happened again.

I’ve seen two ghosts.
One was my boyfriend at the times late father.
The other ghost was a cat that belonged to my friend.
She was very happy because she was very spiritual.

Having met an exorcist I was alerted to the danger of playing with oudja boards .
I wish that I'd listened to him -my friends and I thought it amusing to play with one on a summer evening .
Never again .
Since then I've seen various spirits -some absolutely terrifying and some not frightening at all .
Some were family members and reassuring.
As I grow older I take my faith more seriously and it is against both Catholic and Protestant faith to indulge in the occult.
