I noticed we didn't have a dedicated thread specifically about psychometry (or at least search didn't turn it up) so I've taken the liberty of creating one. (Psychometry is the alleged ability to sense the history of a object through touch, by the way)
I'll start with something that happened to me today, but feel free to add your own experiences, stories and comments.
Today my brother showed up with a crucifix and asked me to hold it and tell him if I sensed anything from it. After holding it a minute, I told him that it felt as if it had belonged to an elderly Episcopalian couple and that it felt rather peaceful and calm. He said he'd bought it at an estate sale, and while he could confirm it had belonged to an elderly couple, he didn't know what religion they were. Well, all right. Little did I know the freak was just warming up for what he really wanted to know.
Next thing he does, he drops a man's jacket in my lap and asks if I sense anything about this item. At first I assumed the jacket had come from the same sale, but seconds later I realize it hadn't. There was a heavy, negative feeling about the jacket. My chest began to feel constricted and achy, then my lungs and throat. It became hard to breathe. There was a sense of anxiety and abandonment. It felt as if the person who owned the jacket was beset by intense stress and worry. There was a hollow feeling in my heart and a pit of dread in my stomach.
This was disturbing, so I asked my brother if he knew the person who'd owned this jacket. He said he did. For a second (and this is really odd, now I think about it) I wondered if it had belonged to our dad, then I thought - no, our dad died from kidney failure, not strangulation or a breathing problem. I described all these things to my brother and told him whoever had owned the jacket was suffering intense anxiety, stress and sense of abandonment. Brother then revealed the jacket had belonged to an in-law of his, who'd died of suicide by hanging after being left by his wife and burdened by financial worries. Brother said my assessment of the person's mood had been accurate.
What's more, he said, various people in the victim's family had kept the jacket at one time or another, and they'd all had nothing but bad luck. The last person who'd kept it passed it off to my brother a couple of days before. He'd left it in his car, only to have his car break down, his battery go dead and a flat tire in the short time it had been there. He asked if I thought the jacket was bad luck. I said I didn't know but in my opinion it was a seriously negative object to have around.
And by the way, bro, thanks a lot for dropping an object you believe to be cursed right into my lap with no warning. I had to take a bath afterwards to get rid of the bad vibes.
I don't consider myself to be "psychic" per se, but I do consider myself to be deeply empathetic. If psychometry is a real ability, I believe it might be empathy related - at least they feel the same to me.
