Regardless of beliefs, it’s widely acknowledged that our departed loved ones continue to have a presence. If you sense their presence, these signs may feel eerily familiar.
Feathers

Seeing a white feather is a sure sign of someone you loved and lost near you.
White birds aren’t that common either, so finding a feather in your path is a special moment.
Some have even reported seeing delicate white feathers indoors, which is a sure sign that a loved one is watching over you.
Heightened senses
When a loved one wants to reach you, they will do everything they can to do so.
One of the easiest ways to know is to put your senses on high alert.
Does your vision appear especially clearer? Or does your hearing seem sharper?
That’s no coincidence, since hey’re sending you a sign that they are in your presence.
Which sense is most commonly affected though?

The scent of perfume
Loved ones who have passed on will use all of your senses to grab your attention but their favorite is your sense of smell.
Smells are known to have the strongest association with memory. There are countless reports of people smelling a strong, familiar scent despite no known source.
Grandma’s perfume, dad’s aftershave or even your lost friend’s favorite food could all linger in the air and pay you an unexpected visit.

Electronics
Having lots of electronics at home means a lot of electric frequencies that loved ones can use to transmit a sign.
The energy of a loved one can show up in many ways but a few of the most commonly cited are: light bulbs flickering on and off, your TV turning on or switching to their favorite channel, and the radio switching on as their favorite song starts playing.

Water
Water is another source of communication for loved ones. You could hear a dripping tap only to find no water in your sink.
Or, a small pool of water could form indoors for no reason.
If that happens, feel the puddle. It can be unusually hot or cold, another sign that your loved one is trying to show their presence.

Butterflies
People saying that a butterfly is a visiting loved one is common and a great way to tell the kids that ‘Grandma is saying hello’.
But is it actually deeper than that? Butterflies are known for delicate flight, rarely landing on humans.
But if you’ve recently lost a loved one and see one of the coloured beauties, sit still and you could get a pleasant surprise.
A butterfly that lands on your hand or shoulder could be a sign from beyond.

Entering the ‘alpha state’
The ‘alpha state’ is a state of mind people reach when they are totally relaxed. People use meditation to enter alpha.
When you meditate, your consciousness is altered and reaches a place where spirits can communicate.
It’s a technique used by spiritualists and though it takes practice, it is one of the fastest methods used to talk to those on the other side.

Peculiar pets
Have you ever seen a cat or dog acting in a very odd manner?
They could be barking at thin air or rolling over like their tummy is being scratched even when there’s no one there.
Pets are one of the easiest ways for a loved one to reach out to you.
Knowing that direct contact with us may be too startling, spirits can use pets to say hello.
So the next time you see your pet acting strangely, just take a deep breath and smile, since it could be someone saying hello.

Overly affectionate pets
Spirits can also use pets to reach you through a method called transferred affection. That’s just another way of saying they will hug or embrace you through the medium of your beloved pet.
Like the last example, we associate our pets with love and so wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted a cuddle. But compare this to how you’d feel if a pair of invisible arms suddenly hugs you.
So when your fluffy friend cuddles up to you, ask yourself if they’re being more affectionate than normal.
If so, cuddle them long and hard since it may not just be them showing you some love.

Visitation dreams
Don’t get your hopes up as visitation dreams are pretty rare. But they do happen often enough to earn a place in the list.
So what is a visitation dream? That’s when, during a peaceful night’s sleep, you get a visit by your loved one.
It’s more than a regular dream, since when you wake up you get a deep sensation that you weren’t alone during the night.
It sounds daunting, but for those who have experienced this, the experience is said to be extremely comforting.

Deja who?
But don’t worry if visitation dreams don’t happen to you. There’s another way your loved ones can pass on that relaxing sensation.
Do you know that calming feeling you get when daydreaming? It’s a kind of half here/half there sensation that calms you.
Some say this is a sign that a spirit is connecting with you.
As for deja vu, this unexplained phenomena is said to represent the presence of a ghost when your brain waves essentially glitch.

Keepsakes
If you’ve been reading and are now desperate to attract a lost loved one back, here’s a top tip… Have any keepsakes of theirs close by.
Items that once belonged to them hold residual energy and are the perfect choice for attracting them back.
Keepsakes could be anything like a photograph, an item of clothing, or even a lock of hair.

A restful nights sleep
We can tell the difference between waking up groggy as compared to feeling refreshed and restored.
But did you know that a really deep sleep could be a sign that your loved one was nearby?
Visiting you in your unconscious sleep state is often the first way they will show up.
They can be with you without startling you all while passing on their calm aura.
So when you wake up feeling deeply energized, think of who could have paid you a visit in the night.

Recurring thoughts
It’s natural to think of someone after they have passed away. They were once a daily presence in your life only to be taken in a flash.
Life can be cruel for sure.
But if it has been many years since their passing and you suddenly find that they won’t leave your thoughts, then this shouldn’t be ignored.
Chances are your loved one decided to pay you a visit and won’t be going anywhere until you realize this fact.

Goosebumps
It’s the weirdest things that can give us goosebumps. From a cool gust of wind to an emotional piece of music, the sensation of your hairs standing on end is a strange one.
So it goes without saying that an unexpected case of goosebumps could very well be a sign from the dearly departed.

Hearing their voice
ADC is the acronym for ‘After Death Communication’, and one of the most common is hearing the voice of your loved one.
There are 2 ways in which audio ADCs can visit you.
Firstly, you may hear them as if someone were in the next room. Although when you turn to the noise there’s nothing there.
The second, more unsettling way, is hearing the voice in your head.
We know what our ‘internal voice’ sounds like, so when this takes on a new guise, it can get very unnerving.

Birds
Feathers and butterflies are known signals from the dead, but birds also have a special significance.
Individual birds have different meanings. Here are a few to watch out for: Wise magpies are a grandparent watching us, the flapping wings of the hummingbird signify life moving on, and a cardinal is a messenger bird, a sure sign that someone is saying hello.

Meeting their namesake
It’s normal for people to share the same name but there are so many reports of people losing loved ones only to bump into people with the same name in the days following their passing.
If the loved one was elderly, this can be more surprising as names do come in and out of fashion.
Meeting other people with old-fashioned names like Elsie or Bill will have you wondering if there’s something more at play.

‘Set the table’
Here is another technique that psychics and mediums encourage others to do.
All you need to do is to leave out a favorite item of food or drink, as if your loved one was about to sit down and enjoy a meal.
Leave it there overnight, then look in the morning and see if anything has changed.

Hearing their song
Sharing a favorite song with someone who has passed on can be a really special way to reignite those memories.
And it’s not at all uncommon to hear stories of these ‘memory songs’ playing on the radio or appearing unexpectedly in TV shows right after the passing of a loved one.
Do you share a special song with someone who has passed?

Coins
The symbolism and connection of coins and the departed has been known for many, many years.
A coin represents value so finding one in a bizarre place is your loved one reminding you to value yourself and to remember your self-worth.
Especially noteworthy are coins found in unusual clusters or lines.
If it seems unlikely to have been done by chance, then it probably is.

Phone calls
There have been mentions of phone calls and messages as the means of loved ones trying to get in touch.
You can see why, as this is one of the most obvious forms of direct communication we know and have.
The pattern usually goes like this: phone rings, someone answers but the line is quiet but not ‘dead’, and there’s a real sense that someone is trying to speak through muffles or broken words that are somewhat audible.
In some of the most shocking examples, the calls vanish from the receiver’s call history.

Partial appearances
Seeing your late grandma walking down the street after she’s passed on is highly unlikely.
But there have been endless reports of ‘partial sightings’ or appearances that have been difficult to explain.
These cases have people claiming to see a misty haze-like form. One that clearly resembles a person but isn’t solid.
It sounds daunting, but these hazy figures are said to give off a healthy, luminous glow. A sign from the deceased saying ‘I am ok, I am well.’

Touch
We now know that a needy pet may be a loved-one indirectly looking for your affection.
But some of our deceased relatives and friends are less subtle in their signals.
So if you’re alone and feel a light pressure on your back, or a warm sensation on your hand it may mean that their spirit is with you.
How lovely.

Weird weather
The weather can get weird at the best of times, and depending on where you’re from, it’s common for it to be sunny one minute and raining the next.
But if you notice sudden and unusual weather pattern, then this could be more than meteorological issues.
Is there a sudden rainbow in your path? Or wind so powerful it knocks something over outside?
Maybe it even started raining right over your house.

Pebbles
Similar to coins and water, people have reported finding pebbles in unusual places following the weeks of a loved one’s passing.
And we’re not talking about a small stone in your shoe.
These instances reveal stunning stones or perfectly round pebbles, with beauty so alluring they’ll really catch your eye.
If there’s an unbroken line around it, it’s known as a ‘wishing stone’.
A keepsake if there ever was one.

Unfamiliar reflections
We are so used to seeing ourselves in a mirror or on other reflective surfaces that we don’t even think twice about it.
But if a loved one reaches out to you through ‘reflective communication’, you’ll know about it.
When you look at yourself, you’ll have an uncanny sense that something isn’t right.
Your eyes may look different or your mouth takes on a new shape.
A spirit could be embodying you and what you’re seeing are aspects of their own reflection that has merged with your own.

Changes in handwriting
Next time you find yourself writing a letter or birthday card, take stock of your handwriting style. We often forget just how unique our handwriting really is.
A sudden change in your writing style may be a loved one saying hello through ink.
If you want to be sure, look for something they have previously written and do a handwriting analysis.
If some of their letters match, then they could be paying you a visit.

Nail changes
Nails are made of dead cells. The cuticle base may contain living cells, but the part you can see is not alive.
So it follows that these would be a site of communication for the dead since their energy levels are more closely aligned with your keratin filled features.
If you notice a sudden change in your nails’ appearance, or if they grow faster then you may be getting a helping hand from your departed loved one.

Vivid photographs
It’s normal and natural to look longingly at photos of our lost loved ones.
These photos catch your eye as you walk past them in the hallway or when they pop up on your phone, almost like they’re trying to make you remember them.
What’s funny is that these photos can appear enhanced for some reason, as if someone edited the colours to make them pop.
A strange coincidence, or maybe a sign that someone is close to you.
