I wouldn't recommend communicating with anyone deceased. The old priests all say it's forbidden, but continue to offer mass. There are some cases of an apparation following or appearing in the home regularly. Some of these aren't a human spirit.

i was praying the Lords prayer because i was worried that my deceased who had taken his life might not be in heaven. God assured me with this dream. i had a dream the other night of my deceased loved one, where he was sitting next to me in his church with his hand on my shoulder, in the right middle of the pews, and people were around us talking to me. it was like as if i had been living with him and we had a commitment because it was implied telepathically that i was living with him. then we parted ways when communion started. i went to the front and he went to the back (he worked at the church on the organ) it felt so real. it never happened in this life. he invited me to live with him there but i didnt accept him. i broke his heart and he took his life.... the dream was so real though. i had asked God if He is real then please send me a dream about Jon. so God answered my prayer . i woke up so peaceful. i wanted to go back to sleep to see him again..God assured me that Jon is with Him in his house

Thank you Father. I saw my husband about a month after he died. I came in the door with groceries in my arms and he was sitting in his usual chair. He looked at me but didn’t speak. I dropped the grocery bag on the floor. I was filled with awe. I said nothing . I noticed that he had colors of the same old shirt he used to wear. He then just sort of floated out the glass sliding door. My daughter asked a priest about it and he said that he was looking for prayers and it wasn’t unusual. After hearing that I thought I had received a great grace from God.

This was a fascinating talk father! Thank you. When my papa died I was 9 years old. I was overcome with grief. I cried myself to sleep every night for a year. One night in my sleep I went out to the street in downtown Portland. The sky opened up & my papa came down from the clouds in a royal rosarian suit doing an Irish jig. He told me not to touch him. He sat down next to me & we spoke for a long time. He reassured me that my gramma wasn't gonna die soon... that she live to be very old... that id be old when she died. (I was 50) he told me many things then he said he had to go & I could touch him now. I jumped in his lap & he held me in his arms. I could feel him like he was real. I started laughing ... out loud ... I woke up & I was actually laughing happily... totally healed inside. I never cried for my papa again. I believe God allowed my papa to come see me to heal me cuz i wasn't OK. It was wonderful.

@ Maureen Banks Thanks for your story because I had a very terrible time of it when my dad passed. One night when sleeping my dad was in a beach lounge chair and I in another. We were in the shape of a Capital L. We extended our arms but couldn't touch, but then my dad held out his arm and I could grab his finger! My dads' finger felt as real in my hand as if it was physical. And I fell asleep immediately. I believe God and my dad knew I needed healing from his passing and that was how God did that. My dad doesn't come to me as often but at another time, my dad did tell me to pray to SAINT JOACHIM, grandfather of JESUS. There is a spiritual realm and a physical realm. When I hear the music to the prayer of ST. RITA of CASIA, I know ST. RITA of CASIA wants me to pray to her. When I hear the music to EWTNS' LITANY OF ST. JOSEPH, I know ST. JOSEPH wants me to pray to him. There's no TV on, no CD or DVD playing, no radio, only I hear it. Nobody else. God does hear us and God does hear our prayers. Many times youtube takes this comment down, but I keep telling that story because it's true and it can happen to others, also. God bless you🙏🏻🙏🙏🏽

I think animals have the ability to appear after their passing to say goodbye or too comfort their families. My cats Chico and Andy prayed everyday with me throughout their whole lives. After their passing after evening prayers and turning in for bed I was awakened by the feeling of them jumping up onto my bed and curling up by my feet...it was very comforting. After a few nights it stopped. I really felt they were saying goodbye.

This talk was amazing ❤️ I wish I would have heard it sooner. It was my sensitivity to spirit since the age of 11, that made me feel I wouldn’t be excepted by the Catholic Church, that something was wrong with me and drove me towards new age practice. Not something I asked for, just apart of who I am. I thought I would be an outcast and just wanted to have control over what I was experiencing, and all I found outside the church, was more fear and manipulation. Now I know the truth. Now I know that the greatest weapon I have against evil spirits IS my catholic faith!! Thank you father yet again ❤️

Thank you Father Chris. My own mother came from the other side to tell me, 'you were right about God.' We had many discussions about whether He was real or not, and I was right: He is SO real. As soon as I felt her presence I automatically went into prayer to discern this encounter and I felt God telling my heart, that He had sanctioned this encounter. It did end in a great exchange of love between us unlike any love I have ever felt in any earthly relationship. This encounter brought me great joy.

A woman with long hair wearing that long faded white dress looking at me while she was ascending the stairs but disappeared in the blink of an eye!...There were those uncanny feelings too that I am always being watched inside the house!! I was scared at first but after that incident i started to pray the Holy Rosary every night before sleeping coz it's the Most Powerful Weapon against all evils... Thank you Fr.

Ma Vi What makes you think it was evil? Why does something paranormal that is obviously out of your comprehension have to be evil? Ghosts have been around for thousands and thousands of years. They are a natural phenomena like sound waves. Most hauntings are an etheric replay of events that happened long ago and reappear from time to time to psychically sensitive individuals. Why would the Catholic Church be any kind of authority on this subject? And who cares whether they believe in them or not?

Fr. Chris, Will souls visit in dreams? When my Dad passed away 6 years ago I began to dream about him regularly. He would give me messages to give my Mom who was grieving deeply. Sometimes he would come just to hug me and show me love. Other times he would just be in the background watching. No one else in the family, my Mom, 2 sister & 2 brothers, had any dreams about him.I have also dreamt about other relatives that have passed, who also have given me messages. I have never been afraid, always happy and thankful that I got see them again.

Hi Father Chris, I an glad the church believes in spirits, I remember when my son Gabriel was only a baby of 2, my husband went away for a fortenight with RAAF leaving by son & myself alone in the house, after a few nights I heard very hard foot steps walking up & down the hallway, I was not afraid but curious, and ask around the town what was the area used for in the past, I was told the houses were miners homes. So every night I heard these foot steps I felt that he was there to protect us. By the church teachings this was possible, I was never sure, thank you, he also visited my mother & sister in law, when I was home having my daughter. They stayed there to help look after my son for a day & night when my husband had to work that night. He scared them so much they had no sleep. God Bless

I really enjoyed your talk Father. As a retired RN I personally witnessed many people during the final stages of their life span. Several would state that they saw or spoke to family members who had already passed away. I even witnessed this with my own mother when she was terminal. It can be a very spiritual thing to a believer.

Fr. Chris, your talk about good ghosts and bad ones is real per my experiences. My mom just died a week after serving as a retreat helper, falling down on the floor at the retreat, being comatose for 2 days and passing away from stroke. That same week I felt her presence in my sleep and woke up crying. It felt real because I felt her presence since we were not able to talk to her before she died. I prayed for her soul after my crying and felt better. Another instance happened when I stayed at a boarding house. Everytime I entered my room, I felt a presence and would have goose bumps from fear. I told my Jesuit priest friend about it. He advised me to pray the rosary, light a candle and sprinkle holy water walk around the house praying with the residents. After we did this, my bad feeling when I entered the room stopped and there was peace in me and the whole house. When I married a widower, whose wife died of cancer and moved to his place, I felt something, a presence. I consulted our priest and thru the permission of our parish priest, said mass at our home and blessed the whole house, praying and following his lead. After this, I felt an inner peace in my new home. Thank you very much for your lecture. God bless!

Hi Fr. Chris, I really enjoyed watching this. I usually watch these talks later in the day because I need to give my brain the time it needs to "wake and come alive" lol. When I did watch this it kind of reminded me of an interesting experience that I never had before the day my grandmother died, that still baffles me but yet doesn't. My grandma was also a Marian Helper probably for several years before she passed away. The simple reason why I know this is because on March 29,1998 my grandmother had a Mass said for me at the Shrine. I still have the card after all these years later. Exactly one year later to the day on March 29, 1999 in the early morning hours, which was the Monday of Holy Week my grandmother passed away. As soon as I woke up that morning something didn't feel right but I didn't know what. I worked in the mornings and not too long after I got home from work my Dad phoned me to tell me that my grandmother passed away. While Dad was telling me this I experienced the absolute most peaceful feeling rush over me that I never had before. To this day I still think it was God's way of reassuring me that my Grandmother probably went straight to Heaven without any time in Purgatory. In the early '80s she received Holy Communion by Pope John Paul ll at a Mass of outside of Winnipeg during the first trip the pope made to Canada. I have actually seen the actual certificate. Is God well known for letting a loved one on earth know about when/if a relative goes straight to Heaven once that person immediately passes away ?

Fr. Chris, thank you so much for the vivid explanation on the topic about ghosts and different spirits. It helps me to pray faithfully for all souls , the living and the dead. Everyday, I join the Mass celebration in our Parish Church. Before the feast of All Souls Day, I offered the intention of the Mass for all the deceased in purgatory for 9 days. Since I felt so happy and trustful of their salvation, I decided to continue praying for them as my perpetual novena. Are the souls in purgatory aware of what I’m doing for them? I only said my Mass intention to God and He alone knows.

I enjoyed this so much! I'm not Catholic but was raised in the Methodist Church. In my faith we were encouraged to question and have interests in things we didn't understand. In some other protestant (but not all) churches people were not allowed to question and kids were often punished for it. When the subject of ghosts came up some branches of protestantism often said there were no such things as ghosts and if you saw things like this even in your dreams they were ALL demons. This often scared kids into not even wanting to sleep. I thought this was cruel. In my church however ghosts were acknowledged but not much else was said. They just existed. Your Catholic explanation was the best I have ever heard from the clergy. Thank you so much for this video!

I cared for my dying mother. During this I had a thought to make a Miraculous Medal Novena for her before she died. All my family came to my house, and I had forgotten about it. At her funeral, a stone fell apparently from the ceiling, landing at my feet while I talked to a friend. On the night I was to go back to work the next day, I was awoken at 3AM by my mother's voice, calling my name. She was much younger - in her 30's. But at the same time I heard her call my name, I heard a growling demon in the background. Her voice also sounded urgent. When I opened the front door to go to work, a shiny Miraculous Medal was lying on the doorstep. Then I remembered my intention to make the Novena for her. I made the Novena, and never had anything else happen.

I really wish I wasn't watching this at 3 am, I just finished doing divine mercy. I do it at 3:17 am because my sibling passed at this time. I saw my brother in September, on my birthday. I guess this was my birthday gift. He looked well, and I was glad. -- It's always 3 am darnit! I'm so glad the priest did a mass. I burnt incense and blessed the home where my brother passed and did litanies. I did a quiji with friends at 11 and it was terrifying. I'm pretty sure God has forgiven and protected me because I have prayed so much in my life. I did not understand this as a child, I would never do this as an adult. My brothers Gregorian masses are in December.

For years I awoke at the hour of Mercy ,3:00 AM, during the night to pray. I always thought it was because it was the best and most quiet time that God could get my full undivided attention from work and family obligations (ie. to busy to contemplate!) Now, in my old age, He only awakens me occasionally for some imminent need for some soul. These are precious, graced times. God uses the least of His people for the best of His work in quiet, hidden ways.

This was very interesting. I am a Protestant Christian. Taught that all spirits that are disembodied are angels and demons. That human spirits can not “haunt” people, because they “sleep” waiting for the Great Throne judgement. Demons can reveal themselves as ghosts to deceive and cause harm, as you suggest. Angel’s, I believe, are fighting in the heavenly realm for us against these demons. You’re thoughts on this?

I will never do that again. I Was new in that house. I came to know that it was extremely haunted because rituals had been done there. I was too innocent to notice the signs back then.

I grew up in a Catholic family, and from a young age saw and heard a lot of strange things I really believed were a spirit. My parents told me there was no such thing, to stop talking about it, it was all my imagination. These experiences continued and I always felt so confused and scared. I really wish someone would have explained it to me like this back then, because it all makes so much more sense to me now. I no longer feel afraid, instead I look as it for an opportunity to pray for a soul. I’m now reading the diary of faustina and she too was visited by several spirits. It’s fascinating, and I never try to convince anyone it’s real-because I don’t think every human is open to it. How often have I heard, “well I’VE never experienced it so it must be fake!” My response is, “that’s great for you, and you don’t have to believe in it, go about your life, but please show empathy for those that have had different experiences than you because the negative judgement doesn’t help anyone. This is a great explanation to those who have experienced it and are left confused, also reminder to avoid we are not supposed to conjure them.

Now I understand those voices might be the holy souls or just the weak demons as I have my rosary in hands so they couldn’t do anything to harm me. Just few days ago I suddenly awaken as the stuffed moon bat in my bed near me barking???? making some noises of the animal while it is frustrated The wonderful thing is I don’t feel afraid as I feel am being protected by Our Lady and the guardian angel while sleeping.

@@lisa-mariekennedy4107 That's it! Since you are obsessed with everything paranormal, I am referring you to an "obsessive - compulsive" clinic. Before you enter, please knock the door 8 times. After few visits, you are going to hate everything paranormal. Get going....make a dash to the clinic. On your march, get set, go!

@@lisa-mariekennedy4107 Are you trying to see those things? Are you going to those places? Are you trying to pick up sounds of them? Are you buying occult author’s books and not Catholic books on the subject. It depends what you are doing. Are you being drawn? Pulled, enticed, tempted to those things? Don’t be chasing after weird phenomena. Chase after God , instead. If you go browsing through the enemy’’s territory, you’ve entered his house of your own free will. It’s through the mercy of God that you are still safe. But if you keep going there, chances are that spider will catch you in his Webb. It’s all about legalities, and he will have a legal right to come after you.

Thanks , Father for this Teaching of the Church. Good to know for all of us Catholics. ESPECIALLY WITH A TON LOAD OF PARANORMAL SHOWS AND PODCAST.

Fr. Chris, another great talk, thank you! I had 2 separate vivid dreams of my parents that passed away years ago indicating that they were in heaven. And one of my deceased brother that indicated that he was in purgatory. ..have had Masses for all of them. .. On another note, when Harry Potter came out years ago I didn't permit my 2 sons to see it and am glad I didn't as apparently there are real witch spells in the movie. Thank you God for all your 👼 and 😇 that intercede for us! Especially, Mother Mary! ✝️🌹🌹

I had a ghost in my apartment, many years ago. I never saw or thought about a ghost there. One day it made itself known. I had come from work. I wound down. I'm relaxing on the couch. I put my purse down on the bar top (around the sink and counter). My purse had been there at least a couple of hours. Next thing, it suddenly drops to the floor. I just watched it drop. So I put it back up. Made sure it was even, not slipping off. It stayed there for 20 minutes. Then it slid off the other way, the longer way, it was sliding then fell off! Um hum. It was a ghost I feared. So I got up, in fear now. And put my purse back in the same place. Watching, it happens the 3rd time I felt it may be evil. I didn't feel good about it. So I told it this was my place and not theirs. Leave my purse alone. Leave this apartment. Leave me alone. I didn't call it. Somehow this thing found me. I felt it there the whole time I lived there. But it stopped the negative activity. Then I moved out. I believe it stayed there. It was scary though.
