My brother died and was buried seven years ago. We were inseparable in those days and I almost believed my life was also coming to an end. Often times I wished I could see him again, just one more time to tell him how much I loved him and missed him, how badly I hurt and how things are just not the same without him. But time they say heal wounds and in years to follow I was my old bubbling self again with sweet memories of him.

You can then imagine my shock coming face to face with him on an International flight. I was seated right next to him. I fainted when I got to my seat and saw him and it took the flight crew some time to revive me and assist me to my seat of course next to him. I was still shaking all over when one of the flight attendants jokingly said to him "keep an eye on her now, will you", and he replied "sure". He spoke to the hostess, she saw him too! he made himself visible to her!

I looked at him again and he smiled at me. I couldn't have mistaken that smile I've missed so much, those lovely set of teeth! I didn't know what to say I just introduced myself and gave excuses for fainting. "It's OK", he said, smiling again "you looked like you saw a ghost". He then introduced himself and all through the flight I learnt a lot of other things about about him, his family, childhood etc.

And what do you know? He turned out to be my half brother, whom I never knew existed or met. He carries a photograph of my dad in his wallet. He was born exactly the same year as my late brother, anybody would have taken them for identical twins had my brother not passed away. You see, I grew up with my parents in a house full of love that is why this is so shocking and not once did my father mentioned him or his mum.

I never told him much about me during the flight, I was still in shock to do so, so he had no inkling of who I am. I just let him do the talking most of the time. Now I think of him all of the time.  What do I do now? I have his number and email.

email him and tell him your story

scary

Poster,
Dont ff any of the above post.
If your parents cant tell you about his existence! then pretend that you dont also know of his existence. You can communicate but dont tell him your story yet. There is still a lot of hidden truth you will discover at the end


.

I advised that you tell him because it was clearly God's will that you meet, especially since you grieved so much over your late brother. Take him as a gift from God. Neither of u has sinned.

talk to ur dad first, who knows he might not even know he has a son out there,let him make a confirmation first before u pursue a relationship.wow  scary but gdluck.

SeanT21:

call him. He's your bro. Start a relationship

Is it that easy? thanks all the same.

That's the saddest part. He passed away too.

@coolier im sori abt ur dad,dont know what to say,maybe you should go ahead and get to know him,maybe its Gods doing that he came into ur life at this point.tak k.

@OP
Before you embark on anything please pray very well and ask God for the right decision.
I believe that "THE STEP OF THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BEEN ORDERED BY THE LORD". Good luck.

He could be your late brother's ghost oh, gat to be very sure before you make any move. You wanna confirm if he is a ghost or not? Call on me I will tell you.

I guess you can email me but you should confront your parents and find out the real truth, if you have a half brother or not

confront ur daddy first, u said he was holding ur dad pics,maybe ur mum does not know abt it.when ur dad tells u the truth, ur mum can now know abt it. u can now mail him and tell him.

^^ but she said her dad is late .
@coolier
for your brother and half brother to look that alike, then they must be splitting image of your dad. since your father is no longer here to tell you about your long lost brother, why not take it upon yourself and reach out to him. i'm a firm believer in fate and i believe you guys didn't just book the same for nothing, its a sign.

I suppose u're right there!

Hi,


I have a strong feeling that it was the ghost of your late brother manifesting itself to you.  Remember, you were missing him terribly.  He was only there to comfort you as a loved one and to let you know that he is always with you in spirit.  This happens to people that have lost loved ones whom they miss so much or indeed, think about a lot.  I speak from personal experience.

Spirits are NOT there to harm anybody.  There's no need to get scared.  None, whatsoever!  Just be very strong and thank God (or Allah) for the sighting.  Your late brother wouldn't manifest himself to you anymore (physically or in a dream) if he thinks that you are scared.

The telephone number that he gave to you would probably turn out not to be working or something like that, and so is the e-mail address.  On the other hand, either could be a channel of communication between the living and the dead.  Don't bother to open the line of communication because you don't know what that could lead to.  Don't!  That said, spirits always have a way of communicating with the living.      

Pray for your late brother's soul so that it may rest in perfect peace.  Pray to God (or Allah) so that his soul may find peace and that he should remain where he is and for you to remain where you are.  In so doing, you are helping free his spirit to move on to the other side so that it may find peace and not linger on this earth, as well as drawing the line between the two of you.  Do NOT pine for him anymore - rather, you should feel blessed for the sighting and leave it at that, inorder to free his soul from this earth.    

Lastly, my advice is not to discuss the sighting with any member of your family.  It might just turn out that your dad hasn't got any love child.  It probably would freak everyone out, causing un-necessary pain, knowing that your late brother's soul is still lingering on this earth.

Be very strong and DO NOT GET SCARED.  Getting scared would only make things worse for you.  As I said before, I speak from personal experience.

This 'ghost' sat next to me for close to seven hours! He spoke to me, ate and drank, watched a film and went to sleep and woke up again at a point. Everybody saw him. No, this is not a ghost, usually not everybody would see the ghost except the person it appears to. And ghosts don't stay for that long, they only appear briefly and disappear.

i have never been this speechless

Hi,

If you now feel that the person you saw wasn't a ghost, then so be it.  Afterall, it was you who said you saw a ghost and that he was now haunting you.  I didn't - you said it.  I was merely advising you.  You can either take the advice or leave it.

That said, you'd be surprised as to the different forms that the departed can manifest themselves to the living.

Yes, a ghost can most definitely manifest itself in human form, sit next to you for hours and hours on end and be seen by others (oh yes!!), do all sorts of things with you - eat, chat, play chess with you (just like a human), whistle at you through your computer, whistle in your ears, ask you for a lift, sit next to you in your car whilst driving alone or with others in the car, send you cryptic messages, warn you about future events, tell you off, help you, indeed, befriend and look after you, and so on and so forth.  Oh yes! Strange but very true.

I think I know quite a bit about ghosts.  Read my posting at the Muslim Forum and make what you like of it.  What you'll read there is just a tip of the iceberg - believe it or not.  Others are best not mentioned.

Just calm down and let your nerves be at rest, then call him, get to know more about him before revealing your identity to him, don't open up yet until you know more about him, where he works, where he stays and how long he has been working or staying in these places.

I used the word 'ghost' as in, in quotes and 'haunting' as in I think of him all the time, I feel like calling him, it bothers me.

Now 'am sacred again! Maybe I should call him just to be sure. And if he is a real ghost will he answer my call?

if u're scared about calling him,why don't u let a friend call him on ur behalf first and then pass the phone to u to call.When u want to hand out with him always go with a friend until u're comfortable with him and meet his other family then u can disclose urself more to him.

Oh how i wish i had a billion dollar to spare, to get Sister Amebo to talk

That's not a bad idea, thanks.

I am a scholar in Metaphysis.Your case could be one of Reincarnation of your brother.The christianity we practice has closed our minds and understandings to d truth of d spiritual world and expose us to fears of d unknown.In my practice, I had seen d reincarnated and spoken to several so called `ghost'.Do not despair.email him and ask him 4 details of his life.Do not be afraid if he finally turned out to be your dead brother because there is no death but transformation.Relate with him and u will never regret it.At least u will now know more about death than your Pastor.If u are still afraid contact me through my email.Use d codeword`AJIBOKUSORO'.

!amebo no1:

me too oooo

prittigrrr:

that is it, gbammmm

Any update on this saga?

Oh! I finally summed up the courage to call him and you know what? he's not a ghost after all. We're becoming good friends and getting to know each other, we mail, chat, exchange photos and talk on the phone from time to time and as we do not live in the same country, we plan on meeting again some place this summer.
