Hey Beautiful Soul
Have you been looking for signs that you’re loved one in Spirit is still nearby? Then you’re in the right place.
Many people believe that loved ones in Spirit can send signs to reassure us that they’re still close by. These signs can appear through dreams, birds, feathers, scents, songs, synchronicities, or other meaningful experiences that are too personal to ignore.
While every experience is unique, recognising these signs can bring comfort during times of grief and remind us that love, like life can never die.
Hi I’m David William Psychic Medium and in today’s article we’re going to be exploring 21 of the most commonly reported signs from Spirit, including White Feathers, Robins, Pennies From Heaven, Vivid Dreams, Familiar Scents, Meaningful Coincidences and other experiences that can bring comfort and reassurance that our loved ones are still around.
So let’s jump in…
21 Signs Your Loved One In Spirit Is Trying To Contact You
One of the most common questions I’m asked as a Psychic Medium is:
“Can my loved one still communicate with me after they’ve passed away?”
It’s natural to seek the answer to this question when we’re facing our own grief. After a loved one leaves this physical world, it’s normal to wonder if that person or animal is still around us, whether they can hear us and are they trying to let us know they’re okay.
And the answer is YES, YES, YES
Over the last 25 years, during readings with my clients I’ve been able to confirm time, time and time again the remarkable experiences of the signs, symbols and experiences my clients have seen following the loss of a loved one.
Not every feather, robin, dream or coincidence is necessarily a message from spirit. Sometimes life is simply life…
BUT sometimes these signs, symbols and experiences have a different quality to them, they just feel different. They arrive at that perfect moment and they carry something that’s very personal to you, that leaves you with that undeniable feeling your loved one’s close by.
Here are 21 of the most commonly reported signs from Spirit.
21. Synchronicities Around Special Dates
Be more mindful of Spirit signs around any special dates such as birthdays, anniversaries and other important family occasions as these times will often bring signs, memories and meaningful experiences to you often in unexpected ways.
20. Messages Through Other People
Sometimes a stranger tells you exactly what you need to hear.
At other times, a friend can unexpectedly share words that seem to answer a question you’ve been asking privately in your mind.
When they happen, these moments can feel remarkably meaningful.
19. Seeing Their Name Everywhere
Seeing a loved one’s name suddenly popping up on the TV, their names being mentioned in conversations, online or in other unexpected places like billboards, bus stop advertisements and even on the Tube / Underground.
The timing often feels too significant to ignore and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
18. Meaningful Coincidences
A coincidence can be called “A remarkable occurrence of events or circumstances that happen at the same time by chance, without any apparent causal connection.”
That can happen to anyone BUT there’s also moments when several unlikely, seemingly unconnected events align just perfectly, creating a feeling that something much mysterious and greater than you may be at work, bringing you the answers you’ve been seeking for so long.
Think “The Celestine Prophecy.” Happening to you.
17. Animals Behaving Unusually

Many people believe pets can sense spirit when we can’t and if you’re a pet lover then you’ll know your pet inside and out, you’ll know all their idiosyncrasies and behaviours so when your pet suddenly looks up for no reason and starts staring at the corner of the room or in the open doorway when “No-one’s there” It’s a strong sign your loved one from Spirit have been visiting you so please remember to say “Hi.”
16. Electrical Devices Behaving Strangely
Your television turns itself on and your loved one’s favourite program is on or the radio switches itself on and it’s playing a song that has meaning for you. Your phone or tablet switches on and it’s 13:13. It could just be a coincidence OR just maybe it’s a loved one in Spirit letting you know their looking over you from beyond.
In my experience it’s not uncommon for all sorts of electrical instruments go haywire when Spirit are around.
15. Flickering Lights
Just like electrical devices playing up, another sure sign Spirit are around is the phenomenon of flickering lights. It could be a loose wire or a bulb on it’s way out BUT when these things have been checked AND the lights still keep flickering, then you can rest assured your loves one from Spirit have been visiting you.
Next time it happens, make a note of the time it’s happening and see if that time has some meaning to a loved one’s passing and when it happens next remember to say “Hello” to your loved one who’s trying to catch your attention.
14. Objects Appearing Or Moving
You put your keys down and you’re absolutely sure you left them in their usual place, you go to them and they’re gone. A panic ensues, you hunt the keys for 15 minutes, go back to their usual spot and there they are, right where you knew you’d left them.
This phenomenon happens for all sorts of items including sentimental items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches that disappear and reappear after you’ve gone looking elsewhere for them.
Spirit also love moving or altering photo frames to catch your attention.
I remember one client, she had these 3 photos lined up on her bedroom wall and every day one of them would be slightly out of alignment to the others. She’d straighten it off and the next day it’s be crooked again. It was her loved ones way in Spirit letting her know they were around and looking over her.
13 to 6 – Emotive Personal Experiences That Happen To YOU

As we count down from 13 to 6. These signs are more intimate as they’re experiences you can sense and feel happening to you when you’re loved one draw near to you from Spirit.
These signs can happen especially if you’ve been going through an emotional time, have been feeling down or are still grieving the loss of a loved one.
But they’re also signs that can be easily missed as some are very subtle in how they occur.
So let’s jump back in…
13. A Sudden Feeling Of Warmth
Ever had an unexplained feeling of warmth wash over you, a sudden feeling that runs from your head all the way down to your toes, that brings a sudden sense of calm, comfort and connection? That’s your loved one in Spirit wrapping you up in their love.
12. Feeling A Gentle Touch
Over the years many of my clients have reported feeling a sudden gentle touch on their shoulders, on theirs arms and even felt the sensation of a gentle touch on their face.
Some clients have also had the comforting sensation that their loved one is sitting next to them on the couch and some have even felt the sense of their loved one laying next to them in bed, though this may sound a little scary, when these experiences happen they come with a feeling of feeling safe and loved, like you’re being wrapped up in the best hug ever.
11. A Deep Sense Of Peace
A little bit like the number 13 a sudden feeling of warmth. This phenomenon can happen weeks, months or even years after a loved ones passing BUT the sense of peace you feel is so deep, it touches all the way down to your soul, leaving you with the absolute knowledge that your loved one is safe, happy and at peace.
10. A Strong Inner Knowing
One of the most powerful signs often comes from within.
When any of the last 3 phenomenon takes place it leaves you with this unshakable feeling that your loved one in Spirit has been with you, is looking over you and that they’re safe and well in Spirit.
And nothing can ever shake this strong inner knowing.
09. Hearing Their Favourite Song
I love the synchronicity of this experience when it happens. You switch the radio on and it’s playing your song, the one that means everything to you and your loved one in Spirit AND it happened at the exact moment you were thinking of them. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as a sign your loved one’s still around and watching over you from the other side of life.
8. Smelling Familiar Perfumes Or Scents
Having your loved ones favourite scent or smell waft unexpectedly under your nose can be a really emotional and touching experience and can literally take your breath away.
The scent or smell could be your loved ones favourite perfume, the smell of their favourite flower, a waft of their tobacco, their favourite food and even their favourite soap.
These moments can feel incredibly personal and extremely comforting.
7. Vivid Dreams About Your Loved One

Even normal dreams can sometimes feel incredibly real.
The difference between a normal dream and a Spirit visitation is normal dreams will eventually fade away like an old photo in the sun, whereas your Spirit dream stays fresh and vivid in your mind and can be recalled any time you like. Think of it like a dream that’s in full HD where you’re loved one appears healthy, happy and at peace that leave you feeling happy and at peace too.
6. Feeling A Presence In The Room
You may be forgiven in thinking this phenomenon sounds scary. One minute you’re on your own and suddenly you can feel a presence in the room your in but actually when this phenomenon takes place it brings with it a deep sense of peace and an overwhelming sense of knowing it’s your loved one standing right beside you.
I read for a client and was explaining how I could feel his wife’s presence in his bedroom and I described how his wife was still sleeping on her side of the bed. He confirmed he’d felt her presence too so much so he’d even physically felt the mattress on her side of the bed depressing, just like someone was sitting on the bed.
5. Repeating Number Sequences
Seeing repeating numbers can seem so coincidental that it’s very easy to pass them off as a random event BUT when you keep seeing those same numbers repeating over and over again, it’s a clear sign your loved one is trying to catch your attention.
Each repeating number has its own significant message just for you – For example 11:11 is a sign of a presence and many believe this number acts as a Spirit calling card direct from heaven, reminding you you’re loved ones energy surrounds you in times of quiet.
4. Finding Coins In Unexpected Places
Pennies from heaven, what a beautiful present to find from your loved one in Spirit. Pennies and other coins when delivered from Spirit nearly always turn up in the most unexpected places, that’s how you know it’s an authentic message from Spirit just for you.
One of the most unusual places a client found their Penny From Heaven was in a brand new pair of shoes that were still in the box.
The Top 3 Signs A Loved One In Spirit Is Trying To Contact You
We’re down to The top 3 signs that a loved one is trying to contact you. These top 3 signs are so close either one of them could really be at number 1.
So let’s jump in…

3. Butterflies Appearing At Meaningful Moments
Did you know that Butterflies are frequently associated with transformation, continuity and the soul’s journey?
That’s why these little creatures have such strong mystical qualities and why they hold a special place in our hearts, as when they arrive they remind us that life continually evolves and that though we may not physically be able to see our love one any more, their presence remains all around us.
2. Seeing Robins
Just like seeing a Butterfly or finding a white feather seeing a Robin can bring you a moment of peace and upliftment when we’re sad or feeling low BUT sometimes seeing a Robin can mean so much more because Robins are often called the messengers of Spirit.
It’s important to know that each robin sighting is individual and specific to you when experiencing it, each moment is a message all its own.
Is your Robin reminding you to live in the moment and connect with that which brings you joy, happiness and comfort right now?
Or is it time to look within, maybe you need to reconnect with your higher self and intuition?
Or has your Robin turn’t up with a message from your loved one in Spirit, to let you know how deeply you’re loved?
1. Finding White Feathers
White feathers like Robins, Butterflies and Pennies From Heaven are one of the most recognised signs associated with loved ones in Spirit.
White feathers can appear in the most unusual or unexpected places especially if you’ve been feeling down or have been having you’ve been having a bad time and are seeking guidance, reassurance or simply comfort in knowing the person you’re thinking about in Spirit is aware of how much they’re still loved and missed by you.
White feathers are a very powerful sign from the universe. If they’re showing up in your life, it’s time to take notice and pay attention to the message they’re bringing you just like what happened with the following Memories From Heaven Reading…
I remember reading for a man who’s wife had recently passed after a long drawn out illness. I was explaining to him how his wife was bringing him white feathers but leaving them in the car. He then told me that he went to top up the oil in his car engine, opened the bonnet and there sitting on the engine was a single white feather. He was dumbfounded about HOW it had manifested there.
Final Thoughts

Remember that no two experiences are exactly the same and what happens for you is unique to you. It’s so easy to pass off any number of the above experiences as wishful thinking, or think it’s your own mind playing tricks on you, when it isn’t.
