Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
I lost both my parents , one in 1994, and one in 2001. I own the house I grew up in. This morning I was in the shower, no one was home, and I heard my father yell my name as clear as day. As if he was upstairs looking for me. At first I thought I was hearing things, but nothing was on but the water in the shower. Has anyone had this happen to them? What does it mean? I am so scared!
* Thank you for all of you making me feel better. I am going thru a rough spot right now w/ a family member. It is nice to know my Dad is watching over me right now. It brings tears to my eyes that even in death he is still my Dad and watching over me. *

I havent had anything like that happen but I have felt spirits. It probably just means that your father is around watching over you/your family. Or it could have been your imagination if you were relaxed or "spaced out"
I am petrified of seeing/hearing a spirit and I swear my grandparents know that and will never reveal themselves in that way. I'm a total chicken.

Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
When my dad was sick he promised me he would come back and visit. Months after he died, I woke up one morning to my dad calling my name and when I opened my eyes, he was standing at the foot of my bed. He smiled at me then vanished. So I ran downstairs to tell my mom & she said "oh, I saw him last week in the kitchen"
When I do dream about him which is rare, they are the most vivid and tactile dreams I have. When I wake up I can still smell his Paco Raban cologne in the room.
So yes, I truly believe you heard your dad calling your name. Maybe he was just letting you know he was there & you'll always be safe!

Re: Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
I'm going to say it's a good thing. I lost both my parents too and I live in my grandparent's house. My daughter and son always see "mommy"-which I happen to look exactly like my mother and I'm not there. I always look at it as a good thing and that she's there watching over us. It's kind of nice you got to hear your dad's voice

Re: Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
My parents lived with me in my co-op, and I still live there.
My mom died at home in her own bed. She used to come to me after she passed. While I never saw her, I felt her hand on my cheek. It was comforting to me, rather than making me freak out. I sometimes hear my name being called, but never really sure if it is in my head or for real.
Every once in a while she lets me know that she is there, because I smell her Chanel No. 5 perfume. Last time was on the anniversary of her death, and I kept telling my husband I smell perfume but he didn't smell anything.
When my MIL was very sick, many times there was a spirit with her. I only saw spirit once, a blur that sat next to me and abruptly got up crossing in front of me. Every time after that I only sensed the spirit's presence, a big masculine one that led me to believe it was her brother whom I had never met.
I would freak my DH when I walked into MIL's room at the hospital and tell him that someone was with us.
Be comforted in knowing that your parents are still around you, watching out for you.

I was thinking the same thing.
After my father died, I would sometimes creep into his room and sleep on his side of the bed. The pillow still smelled like him, I felt like the imprint from his body was still molded into the bed where he lay. I would curl up and wish I could see him just once more. I would try to remember the sound of his voice, his laugh. No matter how hard I tried, I felt like it was wrong, like there was something off about my memory. One night.. maybe a month after his death, I fell asleep in his bed. Suddenly I was downstairs in the kitchen and my father was sitting in his chair at the head of the table where he would always sit and read the paper. He was younger, happier, healthier. He grinned at me and said “Hello Baby!” – the way he always greeted me. I ran and threw my arms around him and sat in his lap like I would when I was a little girl. I fit just like I had when I was a kid. He hugged me and laughed at me. “I have to get Patti! I have to tell her you are here!” (Patti is my baby sister.. I have 3 older siblings.. but she is closest in age to me.) I wanted to run up the stairs to get her but I was afraid he would leave if I did. He laughed and brushed his hands down against my hair and kissed my head. “It’s okay baby. I’m here. I’m always here. I love you. It’s all going to be okay” I asked him if he was happy.. he looked so happy. I was so afraid he’d leave me again.
And then.. I woke up. I woke up sobbing. But I wasn’t sad. I was overjoyed that I got to see him again. I could NOT stop crying because I KNEW that it wasn’t a dream. It was more than a dream and nobody will ever convince me with any amount of empirical data or scientific evidence that what I experienced wasn’t 100% real. And it was a blessing. And I will never see it any other way.
You were blessed.

i truly believe that the spirits of our loved ones watch over us and come visit us when we least expect them. Once in a blue moon, I will have a dream and my grandfather will come visit me, but i noticed its only when i am going through a rough patch, i haven't had a visit from him ina while =0(
could it be that you were distracted while you were in the shower and you may have been thiking about your dad and you thought you heard his voice? its possible.....but i don't think your crazy.,..i think he wanted to let you know he was there with you.

I can't even tell you how many times I wake up from my sleep after hearing my mom calling me. I have also said "what, mom?" when my DH tries waking me up. That freaks him out, but I am comforted by it.
Like everyone else said, your dad is with you, and that's a good thng.

You were blessed.
I have had similar dreams with my grandfather. I KNOW they are real, and not just a dream. It has only happened a handful of times, and he passed away in 1988. The last time was just a few years ago. I was "dreaming" I was on the front lawn at my parents house, and I looked in the front door and he was standing in the hallway looking back at me. I knew in my "dream" that he had passed away decades ago and I was my current age. I ran in the house and hugged him tighter than I have ever hugged him. I still felt his really rough calloused hands (and how they used to get caught on my shirt, ewww  ). I said "I can't believe you are here, how are you here, what are you doing here?" He just looked at me and said "I came to see you, can't I just come to say hi" I told him I loved him, and missed him and he told me he loved me and missed me too and then I woke up. It was THE BEST "dream" I have ever had. I still feel like I got to actually see him again.
So to OP - I believe you did hear what you thought you did. Don't be scared, I think it was just your Dad letting you know he was still with you!!!

Re: Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
I believe they are all around us.
My Dad passed away in 1989. The holidays & this time of year have always been hard for me. It is worse now that I have kids because I see how they adore my FIL and I just wish my Dad would've been able to meet them.
Well, the other day, DS #1 and I were food shopping. DS was being really silly and all of a sudden I felt someone staring at us. Well, I turned and I swear to god, there was this man that looked EXACTLY like my Dad who had stopped shopping and was smiling widely at us. I caught my breath and did a triple take. Tears started streaming down my face but I didn't want my DS to notice. So I just smiled back and turned around and kept going. Even when we saw him later in another aisle, he stopped and smiled.
It was sooo eerie and I was freaked out initially, but now I take comfort in the whole experience.

Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
I love all these stories.
My grandmother passed away last year. I have a wish board thing on my wall on the side of my bed. I had recently put two pictures up of her and me when I was little.
One night I couldn't sleep. Felt restless. I just laid and relaxed and I saw a little flame looking shape - solid and bright - on my wall. I kept staring at it and trying to figure out where the source of light was. Entire room was dark, no lights on in hallway. No moonlight or street lamp on.
When I turned on the lights, I realized the flame-looking ball of light was directly on my grandma's face.
Also - a long time ago, my good friends's brother died very young in a car crash. A year or two later, I had a nap outside on a lawn chair. It was summer. I dreamt that I was at the beach and he came up to me and said hello, that he was well, and asked me to tell my friend and her mother that he knew about the journal and he loved it.
When I told my friend, she said her mom and her had just started a scrap book of his life.

Re: Completely freaked out... ghost/spirit related....
My Grampy died suddenly of a heart attack. One night I woke up and saw him sitting on the edge of my bed in his pajamas. He didn't say anything, just smiled and as he did I felt this amazing warmth envelop me. I wish I could communicate with him and my Nanny just one more time
