I've never heard it happen myself, but have no doubts it does. What does it sound like? The voice/s? The only other person I know of whose heard it is a friend of ours in the band at church. She said she's experienced it more than once and you know your voice and the rest of those with you very well and suddenly you hear others there (when there is nobody else there). When you consider the angels must be forever praising and singing to God, it's no wonder they'd join in whenever praise/singing to God occurs. Even if we can't hear it, they would be there.

Have you ever experienced a heavenly smell come out of nowhere? Near you, kind of like incense or something? And you know full well nothing has been lit or no perfume worn and something about the smell is just heavenly? I have had this before at night, once in my room on my computer (no windows open by the way). And a spontaneous scent of incense filling my room and so dramatic, that I turned immediately because it was like someone lit one right near me. I got up and walked and the smell was down the hallway too. Nobody was home but me. No windows were open anywhere and it was dark.

I can't really give much explanation for that, but the only thing I related it to was probably the fact Dad had been in my room the night before and prayed a prayer with me (which we NEVER usually do together at all)....other than that, I don't know.

Oh and I must tell you this one. This freaked me out big time. I was flatting with my brother and this is when I had my cat "Gus" (female). Well, one night (this is when I was going through my journey getting closer to God). I was lying in bed in the dark with Gus on the end of my bed as happened every night. She was lying down and very restful. Well, I decided to pray. Not out loud, just to myself. I had my eyes shut and I think there was only a bit of light coming in from the hall or I still had my bedside light on. Well, as I was praying I felt Gus stir on the bed and thought nothing of it. But then I felt her walking on me towards me (I was just lying on my back praying) and I thought what is she doing. I opened my eyes and sosick, this cat was standing on me, her pupils were so dilated her eyes looked black and she was literally right in my face staring at me and wham, she belted me in the face with her paw. I mean she looked genuinely upset or agitated. I stopped and told her off and she gradually retreated.

Finally she sat back down and I started to finally pray again. Well, what did she do? Started coming towards me again and I just got up and yelled. I mean this got to me. I have no idea what got into her and why me lying there praying upset her so much. The fact I had to actually tell her off for that was the strangest thing. I thought now what on earth was it about that which got her upset? lol. I told my Dad and he was laughing, but in a sense it's actually a bit unnerving.

And speaking of this. Here's another one. My Mum used to walk everyday to her work in the morning (Library) and eachday she would walk past the same house with a dog out in the front yard. Big dog too, but it never bothered her. It would just look up and then go back to what it was doing. Big fence, mum wasn't worried. Daily, the same walk, and never an issue from this dog. WELL, get this. Mum was also making a bit of a journey to God (I guess we all were around the sametime, funny what a divorce can do). And this particular morning she decided to pray. So she did. She prayed her way to work. But, as soon as she walked past this house with the dog in the yard? As she was still praying to herself (making no noise), the dog suddenly went absolutely BEZERK. She said it literally hurled itself at the fence, barking viciously at her. It was so bad, Mum said she felt her heard pounding and had to speed up to get past the property due to the noise of the dog. She just about died of heart failure.

What do you make of that?

Yes, I have experienced the presence with the right music too. I've had it before and the first time I got certain CDs, which I had never previously bothered with. Even just enya, I remember the sense and atmosphere of the entire room literally change when playing that music. An angelic sense within the room, very strong. Sometimes I don't when I am extra sick and darkened and blocked. There really is a difference depending on my state of mind/health and spirit. But oh yes I have felt it for sure with music. There is no doubt that music has a strong influence in the spiritual realm. I have felt also a dark presence in certain music bands, even though I enjoy their music (on an earthly level), I have felt a strange kind of coldness, clamminess along with it. Hard to explain, but I would get this when watching pink floyd, yet I never really thought about why.....

I remember watching "The Wall" (the video). But I sat and felt the whole atmosphere change. Now I know the video is not exactly supposed to be uplifting, in fact it's depressing, but quite genius. But I felt more than that. i said to Dad there are times with some of these bands where you can cut the air with a knife.

I get the same sense when walking into a nightclub, so I never really bothered going, even as a teen. I got it around certain situations too and people too. It's a clammy cold feeling, the kind where you feel dark and horrible. Geesh, I used to try everything to get rid of that and even got drunk in those situations to numb it away. It never worked really. I'd hazard a guess and say it's still there, but I haven't been in any situations to visit those places or people so I don't know. Not sure if it's just my illness and it could well be, or more to it.
