However I wanted to know what they were, and if others have the same experience as I do. The waking visions I see are what are called hypnopompic hallucinations and they are quite common. The others are when you are falling asleep and if you are especially tired they can be quite frightening. They are called hypnagogic hallucinations. I am one of those who believes in coincidence, only because we live in smaller communities than we think and there are more random occurrences with a certain set of experiences that are possible. Call me a cynic. I'm guilty. That said, I don't want to ruin your experience with my explanations. I think it is a wonderful one. I wholeheartedly believed in my 'visitor' for many years and chatted with him as well. I believed he was a man who had died near my house in a motorcycle accident two days before he 'appeared' to me. I think it will be fun for you to find out more about Hilda. I hope to hear more about her in your blogs. My mother says to remind them to move on. She is more of a believer than I am ;)Essiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076813063073036018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-61441614615124624682010-08-18T21:02:51.088-07:002010-08-18T21:02:51.088-07:00I got chills too, that was just too weird.

That is too cool about you discovering the history of the house and the ghosts name, in that way. I have the same gift, but don't usually talk about it. I lived in an older home in Maryland, which I still own, with a friendly ghost, for 20 years. She never bothered me, until I started packing to move out. Then, she suddenly became very unfriendly!Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846051579802335412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-43584262585554061702010-08-18T17:47:57.709-07:002010-08-18T17:47:57.709-07:00Katy, it's really bizarre, isn't it?

"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney. I love that movie.<br /><br />Whitney, I had a feeling Hilda had lived here before, and when the taxi driver mentioned her, I was flabbergasted...!<br /><br />DJan, yes, I have people visit me in my dreams too. Lately, my friend Sherry and I have gone ice skating, several times. And it's very (!!!) real.<br /><br />Susan, I have "felt" the spirits of people in other houses, too, and I'm sure I could find the ones in your house. If you concentrate, you probably could too. And yes, it is nice to know Hilda's name. She feels more real now.<br /><br />JoJo, I definitely was in that cab for a reason. I have been curious about the house that was here, for a long time. I was happy to hear there had been an apple tree in the back yard, because I had imagined it...!<br /><br />Kate, I have had this ability since I was a little girl, but I try to suppress it. I once lived in a house where the "spirit" was not very friendly, and was quite angry. It was rather disturbing.<br /><br />Carl, *chuckle*. Yes, roommates ... I have had a few doozies. Hilda is actually very nice, and quite serene. :-)<br /><br />Nezzy, thanks. Yes, I can now close the door behind me, turn on the light, and say, "Hilda ... I'm home...!" And then then the men in the white coats can come and cart me away. *heh*<br /><br />Russell, that's a good idea to check the history of the house. I can do that at the City Hall, which is across the street from where I work. What a great idea...! Of course, I rather like the mystery of Hilda as she is now, and I wouldn't want to know too much more about her. Her name is enough.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-87041821471478594422010-08-18T17:29:42.322-07:002010-08-18T17:29:42.322-07:00Now that you have a name and some facts about the ...Now that you have a name and some facts about the house that was there before the current building, you might be able to do some research.<br /><br />You could go to the courthouse and check out the property and even find the names of the people who owned the house. <br /><br />The taxi driver - who must be a native of your area - might even remember Hilda's last name and you could find her obit, etc.<br /><br />Most interesting to learn about your spiritual visitor!Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-3885056956331568802010-08-18T17:08:08.769-07:002010-08-18T17:08:08.769-07:00Sounds like Miss Hilda is the perfect fit for ya. ...Sounds like Miss Hilda is the perfect fit for ya.

It sounds as if Hilda likes you because you share many interests, and are both elegant, worldly women living alone. <br /><br />This does give a whole new meaning to "Honey, I'm home," doesn't it? I would love to know if when you address Hilda by her name, she stays longer and perhaps chats with you a bit. She will be so happy to know that you have met her young charge, all grown, and that he remembers her so fondly. What a lovely experience! <br /><br />I wish you could visit me and tell me about the people who lived in my building when it was a one-family residence.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-5078364609779915482010-08-18T12:52:16.545-07:002010-08-18T12:52:16.545-07:00I immediately thought of the Synchronicity blog th...I immediately thought of the Synchronicity blog that I follow and wondered what they would think of this "coincidence."
