Comforting Subway Ghost

At last, a ghost that wants to help me. Welcome to episode 76 of my True Ghost Stories. Many episodes ago I talked about a clinic where I used to go to therapy, and that clinic was closing, so I told the story of all the ghosts that I had to clear out of there before the place closed for good. And now I go to the new clinic that has reopened in another part of town, and in order to get there I have to take the train 10 minutes longer than I did to go to the first clinic. So one of my activities that I do on the train because I can't stand to just sit there looking at the window, I have to do something on the train.

So one of the things that I do is I either read or I write my outline for this here podcast. So yesterday I took that long train ride up to my therapy session with the intention of writing my outline for this podcast, but I did not know what the story was going to be, which I have also shared about on this podcast. I spend a lot of time thinking about what story am I going to tell. So on my train ride yesterday I had my notepad and my pan ready to write the outline, but I did not have a story. So I said, all right, I need a message from the universe or from a ghost about what story I'm going to tell.

So I sat there waiting and it was a few stops that I waited and nothing happened. So I said, fine, I had also brought a book in case this happened because I thought this might happen. So I had also brought this book. So I said, fine, I guess I'm not going to get a message right away about what story to tell. So I'm just going to read my book.

So I took my book out, which was about investing in the markets, which is something I'm interested in reading about these days. And I read a couple pages. So I'm sitting there on this train car and there was like three other people on the car. And I'm reading and then I'm looking down at the pages and I can't concentrate on the pages anymore because I felt the tingling in my chest. There's a tingling that I've described many times that I get in my chest that lets me know that a spirit is nearby.

So I closed the book. I said, all right, there's a ghost here. I did not know if it would be a story for this podcast, but me announcing to the universe silently that I'm waiting for a story did bring a ghost along. So I looked up, I looked around and the tingling was coming from my right. And so I focused over on my right and there I could make out the outline of a man.

When I see them, it's mostly in my mind's eye, but I do see little bits of movement in the corner of my eye, which I saw when I was looking around and when I looked straight at it, I could tell that it was a man. And this man was standing there looking at me and he was very calm and serene. Most ghosts that I encounter are agitated and confused and lost, desperate, angry, none of the good stuff. But this ghost was calm and serene and looking at me and I said to him, okay, you need me to help you cross over. And he said, yes, but I need to go up at Neptune Avenue.

And Neptune Avenue is the stop that I get off to go to this therapy session. He said, I need to go up at Neptune Avenue and I know that you can help me. And I said, yes, I can help you. And the tingling was getting very intense because Neptune Avenue was still like five stops away, but the tingling was not going away and the longer it lasts, the more intense it gets. So I said, all right, I'm just going to sit here with this tingling because I have to wait till Neptune Avenue to do anything.

And then the tingling, which comes from like a little bit of like need from that ghost, I think, and an attempt to connect. And I'm not sure where it comes from. In this situation, the tingling in my chest changed and it got less intense. It was still there, but it changed. And I realized that the ghost of the man had sat down next to me, right next to me on the train.

And now he was even calmer than he was before. Eventually this wonderful ghost, I'm saying he's wonderful because this was such a serene exchange because eventually he put his arm around me and he was like holding me and he was comforting me. I'm always agitated and I'm always worried. I have a lot of anxiety. That's the trip up to Neptune Avenue to go to therapy.

And this ghost, usually I'm telling them that everything's going to be okay while I give them instructions on what to do and I'm reassuring them that they just need to do this thing and then they'll be fine. But this ghost, I guess he knew that he was going to be fine. He just needed some help to cross over. I don't know why he needed help to cross over and why he hadn't crossed over. But he hadn't and he was calm and he sat down next to me, put his arm around me and I realized that he was comforting me and then this ghost communicated to me.

He said, everything's going to be okay. And I thanked him because I was having some doubts about my abilities as a medium and my abilities to cross-spirits over. And I said sometimes I think maybe I'm just crazy. And he, this ghost said no, no, no, it's all real. And I realized that I was sitting there on the train with a ghost sitting next to me, a comforting ghost who had his arm around me.

After he said, everything's going to be okay and after he told me that it's all real, he just sat with me on that train with his arm around me and I felt this serenity. And it was so nice to be receiving comfort back from a spirit. Instead of just giving, I was actually receiving some comfort. So we sat together for the five more stops until Neptune Avenue. We got off at that stop.

I started to walk down the platform and I was walking and walking assuming that the ghost was next to me. And then I realized that he had stopped walking with me and I turned around and he was standing near this very big structure. It's the top of the staircase that goes downstairs because Neptune Avenue is an elevated station so it's not underground, it's above ground so there's a stairway that goes downstairs and it's these huge, very sturdy contraptions that are the roof of the stairway. And he was standing right in front of that and it made total sense. I don't know why something about the strength of this structure just suited this spirit.

And so he stood there and I was just standing there and all I had to do was say, okay. And then these three male spirits came in very quickly, took him by the arms and helped him to ascend. It was the easiest ascension ever. There was no struggling. Last week I told a story about a spirit that was having a terrible time trying to cross over and her guides were wrestling with her and trying to push her up through.

But this was the easiest ascension I've ever witnessed. Now a little bit about my conversation with this ghost on the train. I had asked this spirit, so why Neptune Avenue? And he said, it doesn't matter. Which is true, it doesn't matter, it's none of my business, I was just curious.

And I said, so who are you? And he said, it doesn't matter. And he wouldn't give me any details about who he was. So who he was, remained a mystery. I guess I wasn't supposed to know.

And I do believe that he was sent there for help for himself, but also to reassure me that what I'm doing is the right thing and to comfort me and let me know that it's all real. After this spirit ascended, I just said goodbye and the tingling had ended so I knew he was gone. So I turned around, I started walking and I said, wait a minute, I have to close up that portal. Sometimes I forget to do it, especially if it's outside, but a lot of people stand on that train platform and we don't need an open portal to a platform that, you know, I don't know, bad things can happen on a train platform. So I said, let me go back there and seal up that portal.

So I walked back and there was a lady standing right there. So I had to really, really subtly wave my hand in circles to close the portal and I did it as fast as I could and I knew that it was closed. And so I went on my way and I went over to therapy with extreme gratitude that finally a spirit was sent to comfort me. Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of My True Go Stories.
