“sparkling” Spirits Surround Miranda Since Childhood
Martha Jette asked:
Miranda Clearwell of southeast Missouri was just a child when she first heard voices in her head and realized that there were “sparkling figures” around her or following her.
As she grew into a young girl, it became so natural to her that she thought everyone experienced these kinds of things.
“I just thought they were extra friends for me that I couldn’t see or talk to directly,” said Miranda.
But she soon learned that her friends at school didn’t have similar experiences and she found it very upsetting. In fact, her friends warned her that such entities must mean trouble and she should be careful.
“For a time, I thought I must be crazy,” Miranda explained. “None of my friends knew anything that could help me.” In fact she added, many of them “became upset with me.”
Her experiences began as a youngster, when she realized the presence of the entities and that things in her room would move around as well. Miranda said she could also sense a lot of negative energy in the family home and it would grow unusually dark.
“Even when the sun was coming through (a window), the house could become dark,” she explained adding that this frightened her. “That was when I started feeling a presence very strongly and then there were multiple presences.”
While most of the house gave her an eerie feeling, she said her own room felt “warm and safe.”
The first time Miranda actually saw a “sparkling figure,” she was 19 years old and it sat right on her bed!
“I could see his outline,” she said adding that he appeared to be about six feet tall and “wearing clothing that fit somewhat close to his body. It looked like smoky water,” but was easily recognizable as a man. It also looked like he was “radiating some of it… I couldn’t see anything within the outer lines of the body, so I didn’t see a face or eyes or colors. He was all clear.”
Miranda said he walked like a normal person and then “sat on the edge of my bed facing me, while I was standing up in the center of the room. Once I spotted him, I moved close enough to sit on the bed in front of him.”
At this point, she was very excited, because she had never actually seen a spirit before. She was also quite afraid.
“Of course, my heart was beating out of my chest because it was a little bit scary, but in a miraculous way.”
“When I raised my hands in front of me, he raised his own and touched them to mine.”
Miranda said his hands felt “almost like fuzzy liquid.”
“He stayed like that until my eyes blurred with tears and he was gone.”
Miranda said she was “surprised by the experience, but his simple gesture was very touching…”
Since then, she has seen as many as seven of these figures in her room at one time, but the problem is: she isn’t sure what or who they are or why they keep coming around her. Miranda said she has spoken to the entities and upon a number of occasions, asked questions and received the answers in her mind – answers that were later confirmed.
“Me and my little brother used to walk around that lot all the time and we’d find useless things like rusted washers, metal silverware and plenty of burned things.”
Just this past week, she learned from her mother that an elderly couple had lived there.
“The wife was considered an invalid and was stuck in a wheelchair. Her husband set the fire and left her inside knowing that she couldn’t get out. My mother said she died in that fire and that the man went to prison for murder.”
I suggested that perhaps these two people might be among the many spirits that seem to cling to her. Perhaps that dark entity is the husband. However, Miranda’s story suggests that she may also have spirit guides or even angels close to her. Not only do they help her with her problems, but they also bring her comfort.
“I feel so attached to these spirits now,” she said.
Her only desire is that she would like to learn to communicate more effectively with her visitors from the other side. If anyone has suggestions for her, please let me know.
As well, Miranda said the presence of spirits around her has caused her to re-evaluate her personal beliefs. As a child, she was raised as a Christian to believe that with death, one goes to either heaven or hell.
“That was what everyone wanted me to believe,” she said. “I was never raised to believe that souls could still wander the earth after death, so it was startling to see that something was following me around.”
Now, Miranda says she believes strongly in life after death.
“I do believe that the soul is eternal and I also believe that if a person still has something they need to accomplish, God could allow them to remain behind for a while.”
She also thinks God might allow certain souls to remain earthbound for a time “to watch over their relatives or friends that still live. Nothing is impossible with God, so my faith allowed me to accept this possibility of spirit helpers without much trouble.”
Although she admitted that the spirit realm is still somewhat of a mystery to her, Miranda said she knows that everything “happens for a reason and that not one living person can place rules on how a human soul must behave after death.”
To sum it up, the 21-year-old added, “I still believe in a final resting place, but maybe some spirits are allowed to make a few stops along the way.”

Boo Sends Angels to Help Those in Need
Martha Jette asked:
To nine-year-old Boo of Coralville, Iowa, having angels around is as natural as breathing. Ever since he was tiny, he’s talked about them to his mother, Susan.
“He is a very special boy, Martha,” Susan told me recently. “He has always had a “connection” to angels. Ever since he was little, he would talk about angels and how they helped people, especially sick ones.”
She cited an incident that occurred when Boo was just five years old and in Kindergarten. At the time, Susan’s 85-year-old father was rushed to the hospital with what they first believed was pneumonia. Unfortunately, it was much more serious. Her father needed quadruple bypass surgery.
“He wasn’t given much of a chance at all. In fact, I heard nurses telling each other, ‘It’s just a matter of time.’”
During one of Boo’s rare visits to see his grandpa, Susan said he let her father know that the angels would help him.
“Boo reached to his chest, made a fist and put his fist on dad’s chest. He then told grandpa that whenever he sent his angel, she would come with extra love for his heart.”
Despite the youngster’s good intentions, his grandpa made a turn for the worse after the surgery and for several days, Susan wasn’t sure if he’d make it. At about 9 p.m. as she was tucking Boo into bed she attempted to tell him gently that he might loss his grandpa, but the child would have none of it.
“Nicholas listened to it all and stated that he was sending angels to help repair grandpa. He prayed and told the angels, ‘Do it right please. I need my grandpa.”
Boo then pushed out his chest and proclaimed that the angels were to take his love to grandpa.
“He told me the angels would take care of grandpa and his face lit up like no ones business!
The following morning, Susan was amazed to learn that her father was off his ventilator, sitting up and sipping water.
“He had color and he was breathing on his own with no problem. I asked the nurse what happened and she said that about 9 p.m. or so, he began to mess with the tubes, so they called a doctor and removed (it).”
Though the nurse said his sudden turn for the better was due to the medication he was given, Susan said she knew better.
“The doctors say his heart is as good as ever and he could well live until his late 90’s… this is five years after they gave up on him and five years after a little boy sent him angels.”
Of course, grandpa was thrilled as well.
“My dad still tells people, including his surgeon that a little boy and his angels helped him in surgery and in recovery, and the doctors have learned not to question my father when it comes to Boo and his angels.”
When Boo was young, he also saw the 911 incident on television and immediately prayed as he watched the towers fall. This is definitely a child with true compassion for others, which makes his mother very proud and rightly so.
Last year when he was 8, a neighbor was struggling with colon cancer.
“Nicholas sent Craig angels every night,” said Susan. “Craig always nicely thanked him for them saying they comforted him and helped him to sleep. He said he knew when they were there and he told Boo that when they came to see him, his pain faded away, and he could rest easier.”
One particular night, Boo was a bit late getting to bed. Instead of the usual 8 p.m. prayers, it was 9 p.m., but Boo said he was sending “an army of angels” to keep Craig from being afraid and to help him pass over to God. The following day, Susan went to visit Craig and he commented, “My angels were late last night.”
The man added that the angels were an hour late, but when they arrived there were lots of them, which brought Susan to tears.
“He died a few days later and at his funeral mass, the priest told of Craig telling him about the ‘beings’ in his room, in the corners, just out of his sight but being comforting and helping him to make peace. The priest didn’t know Craig all that well, so he was a bit confused. I took him aside later and told him about Nicholas’ angels that he sent. The priest shed a tear himself and stated, “Out of the mouths of *****. Your son has a gift. He has been blessed.”
Susan told me Boo still sends his angels where they are needed and has a heart of gold when it comes to helping others. He even helped his mom when she fell and was told by a doctor that her ankle was broken.
“Nicholas said it needed to be fixed and he sent an angle to be with me. It wasn’t broken and still has the doctors shocked at the fact.”
One time, Susan asked her young son if sending all the angels to others was a good idea. What if he needed their help?
“He seriously told me that God gave him as many angels as he needed and not to worry… he’d never run out of angels.”
But how did Boo come to acquire such a wonderful gift? Susan believes it may have something to do with her own personal belief in angels.
“He is a lot like me,” she said. “I get what my grandmother called “feelings” when things are going to go wrong and I listen to the feelings, and twice my guardian angel has spoken to me right before an accident. The words were as clear as if there were someone in the car with me and both times, I listened. What could have been bad accidents were minor ones because I was smart enough to listen.
