Hello, Here's my story. Please take time to read it.

8 months ago my best friend 'Robyn' commited suicide at the age of 15 by jumping from a multistory carpark. I was 16 at the time. She was slightly more than a best friend. For the past 8 months I have been completely consumed in grieve. I hated the pain of missing her, not knowing she was okay. But tonight, I feel better after an extremely strong spiritual experience.

Let me just clear some things up about my beliefs; I dont believe in God, Jesus or anything religious. I started not to believe in life after death until tonight. I always thought; how come I loved her so much and she hasn't visited me or let me know she's okay?

So heres what happened:

I was really tired so I went to bed at 8:30pm. I woke up at 2:30am feeling wide awake. I went downstairs to get a cold drink and then came back up and lay in bed. Room was dark. I remember thinking ''Great, Im not going to sleep for ages now'' and still feeling wide awake.

At the time, I wans't even thinking of my friend Robyn, but some thoughts were pushed into my head. My eyes weren't even closed (I had just finnished the last of my drink). Thoughts were about her mum telling me that she's had encounters with Robyn, and really strong ones. I didn't control this thought.

Then, all of a sudden I felt completely consumed. A very bright flash then the sound of a ring. Like the sound of a camera. I couldn't control my body. I instantly knew it was Robyn, I started wimpering her name over and over again. Then, a few seconds after the flash I saw a distinct dark silloutte where I was looking in the corner of my room. She had glowing yellow eyes. My vision was blurred and I was seeing double, like when your crosseyed. It wasn't a dark experienced. I felt comforted by the presence and reassured. I came round, and sat up shaking. I looked at the photo on my shelf of her and it felt extremely alive. I turned a light on and walked downstairs to wake up my mum and talk to her about it.

What was this? Has it happened to anyone else? The flash...

Ive never had a ghostly experience but I let Robyn know previously that I wanted her to visit me. I didn't believe in any of that sort of thing.. I started to believe that when you die thats it. Your gone. Im 17, so Im not just a kid. I dont suffer from any mental illness's. No illness's infact..

Please can someone relate. Especially to the flash. I dont have to ask if it was my friend, im 100% sure it was. I could feel her.
