I did once and it was freaky as hell. I was also completely sober at the time and what I saw was weird as hell and pretty messed up looking. Won't go into detail as not to freak anybody out. Didn't really freak me out though and this happened a long time ago. It was all rotten and messed up though.

P.S. Don't get into necromancy, it's dangerous and could get you possessed. I wasn't into it, this just randomly happened on one occasion. I don't normally see dead people. If you were attempting to contact the dead or spirits when this occured or you were involved in occult practices of any kind at the time please specify

Many years ago, I worked as a nursing assistant at various hospitals. So I've seen, & handled a few dead people in my day. I never really thought too much about it though. It was just a part of the job I did.

I just want everyone to know this is literally the only time I have had horrid visions. I have had a lot of experiences with some stuff that seems weird to most people but I won't get into that because that stuff never bothers me. This was the only time that I actually experienced a hellish vision. I'm not crazy/possessed so don't get yourselves worried, it was a one off thing. But to the above poster this is a serious thread and should be taken as such. I'm not just making up that I saw dead people once because this post is 100% real whether you like it or not

I wonder what happens in the mind of Steven King? Imagination can be very powerful.

The spiritual world exists......I don't mess around with the occult because my relationship with God is way too important & God tells us NOT to mess around with the occult......so you know that if God tells us that.....it exists.

I have gone on the ghost walk in the little Civil war town that I live in & all the buildings in town have some sort of energy forces going on in there & some very evil forces in some other areas that only reinforced what I understood about the organization that was located in one of the buildings. It fascinates me to a very small extent.....but my feelings are that many of the spirits are evil even though they may try to make themselves look like a good person we have known....

I believe that you saw & experienced what you did & your warning not to get involved in the occult should be taken to heart as my guess is that you only saw a little bit of what is out there. Even the Bible speaks about the evil forces that are out there....in Daniel for one.....so IMO, there is nothing to deny it's existence.....but it doesn't mean that I have to be involved in it just because I believe that it exists.....so I keep far away.

I haven't physically seen spirits of dead people...however I am quite certain I have ran into spirits some of which where likely dead people. I did see what seemed to be a sort of spirit once, but don't think she/it(don't know spirits actually have genders or whatever) was ever a living person. Can't usually see spirits though but can sense them.

Necromancy seems fascinating but very dangerous not something Id get into not sure I can say the same for lesser occult things though since its very intresting to me...for a while I was into 'spiritual' satanism and attempted contacting 'demons' but fell out of that since it seemed to make more sense to regard spirits as spirits and what not but not relate it to a specific theology or religion...currently I think there are certainly spirit entities some good and some bad but I don't subscribe to a specific philosophy about them.

And to specify the sort of satanism I was interested in wasn't anything about being 'evil' or trying to side with evil spirits I don't like bad things and negative energies...but it would be difficult to really explain unless I where to go into lengthy detail.

I've seen so much weirdness but I have no idea if I'd call it dead people. Like I had an invisible cat that sometimes slept in my bed. Who am I to judge it was dead? It might just have been a cat from another dimension, and maybe I look like a ghost in theirs.

Anyway I will make no judgment about beliefs, I used to know a bunch of Satanists that were the nicest people you could meet. Everyone is entitled to their belief system.
