Oh man... So many... Experience with other realms has been a lifestyle for me. And like this story in the OP, Hospitals and rest homes are hot beds for these paranormal experiences and interactions. Between my kids who have careers working in hospitals and rest homes and myself we could fill volumes with interaction stories.
About four years ago an entity attached to my father while he was in the hospital gravely ill. He was on the edge and that one was close. But while he was completely out of his mind he kept pointing to the corner of the room asking “who is that guy?”. Not long after he started asking where his leg had gone and why. “why did you cut off my leg?”.
I had an idea what was happening so I asked his nurse about the previous patient to that bed. Turns out it was an elderly man who needed his leg amputated because of diabetes. And that the operation was just too much for him and he had just passed in that bed before they gave it to Dad.
I knew I was not speaking to my Father anymore, and it took another two days to convince this entity to move on and cross over and not take Dad with him. He moved on and Dad immediately started to improve. Dad remembered none of it once he regained full consciousness...
This is very normal.
I was in a restaurant with my wife having dinner, when suddenly both my legs were in excruciating pain. I looked around and saw that a guy in a wheelchair at the next table was a double amputee.
I was feeling his phantom leg pain.
When this happens, saying a prayer for the person diminishes my pain.
I was a caretaker for elderly parents for a long time and that helps explain a lot of things that are too jumbled to talk about...yet, at least.
