PWCCA, don't misunderstand me, the reason I started this thread is because I am interested in people's different religions and beliefs. I myself have had experiences happen that are not explainble. For instance, before my daughter's first birthday,we went on holiday and stayed in a very old house. We were very tired from the journey and wanted to take a nap. When we all entered the main bedroom, my daughter pointed to the celing and said, "Poor baby ghost is crying" she could only say a few words, so obviously we were amazed. She often says she can see people and she is a very stable child. When we moved to the Midlands from Brighton. I begged for an old neighbour from this area to come and visit me. She was like a mum to me and had recently died. I was missing her very much. In the middle of that night I came downstairs to make a cup of tea and while I was getting the tea bags , the kettle switched on by itself. It was'nt even switched on at the plug. I've had many more experiences like that. My family are descendants of Romany gypsies. I have been told that I have an abiltiy to contact the dead and I could be trained to learn how to do this. Therefore I truly believe there is more to this world than any of us know. I, as I said started this thread because I am interested In people's beliefs and I have a very open mind. What some people are worried about and fed up with is people coming on and suggesting we have a need for physchlogical help. It just makes you think they can't possibly understand or have he same illness as us. As far as I know and I'm very willing to be proved wrong.. Linda hasn't mentioned any other symptoms but depression I and others know this does not ring true with Mercury poisoning. Nobody on here takes offence at advice, but I think some of us believe that should be from other Mercury sufferers. I'm only quoting what others have said. But yes I believe it too. Only because I feel with this illness you can't truly understand it unless you are a sufferer yourself. I would be really interested to hear about the witchcraft stuff. I am intrigued. Best wishes Tracy.
