I predicted dad's death & deadly disaster before it happened…now I see dead people – how you can use psychic abilities

The Sun7 days ago
EVER since she was a child, Alysa Conger knew she was different - but it wasn't until she predicted her own dad's death a week before it happened that she finally realised she was gifted.
While her chilling predictions as a child were brushed off by adults, she says she hasn't stopped interacting with "those on the other side" ever since her father Kevin's tragic passing.

The 30-year-old, who now works as a psychic medium, says: 'As a young child, I had instances of predicting future things or had general knowledge that would be brushed off by adults.
'When my parents sat me down to tell me they were getting divorced, I said, 'Yeah, God already told me'.
'And one day, my dad was showing me the new stereo in his car, and I told him it would get stolen and to put a fake cover on it to disguise it.
'We didn't live in an area where that sort of thing was common, but I knew it would get stolen that night – and it was."
As a child, Alysa would see "entities" and even spotted a dark figure standing over her mum's bed in one of her first chilling experiences of the afterlife.
She says: 'When I was four and sleeping in my mom's bed, she was turned away from me and facing a mirror.
'I stirred awake in the night and saw in the mirror a grey, non-human, semi-translucent figure lying over my mom's reflection.
'I can only describe this as the feeling you might get if you're in a situation with a predatory animal and you don't want to move too much or make yourself known, even though you are making eye contact.
'We had this spooky moment of acknowledgement, like it knew I was looking at it, and then it sank into her body.
'I was always scared at night. I also saw beings who were not 'negative' – similar in their shadowy nature, but they had this electric outline around their figure.

'I kept this to myself, but it was very impactful.I just brushed it all off and ignored it.'
Chilling premonition
As she grew up, Alysa, who is based in Los Angeles, California, found her visions impossible to ignore, and in October 2022, she started to receive startling premonitions.
Just a week before her father suddenly took his own life, she says she sensed something untoward - intuitive thoughts she describes as "downloads".
She says: 'The week before my father's death, I continuously kept getting weird 'downloads' around the death of a father or a parent.
'I can only describe it as a thought dropping into your awareness that feels outside of your normal brain ramblings. This stuff is subtle.
'If I say bring to mind your favourite place to be – the way you can feel into that and see that, is similar.

'But it's being given to me rather than my own projection.
'I couldn't pinpoint what this was really about because my father killing himself was 0% on the radar as an option.
'I remember even looking at a friend while on a walk while she was experiencing grief on the anniversary of her mother's passing, and I felt so detached from what I was witnessing.
'Then I said to her, 'I feel like I am about to be dealt a massive lesson within the experience of deepening empathy, something is going to happen'.
'That same week, I kept thinking, 'My dad is going to forget my birthday, I can just feel it'.
'A few days later, I got a call to say he had taken his own life.'
How to get help
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
Alysa says she doesn't feel guilt for not initially understanding her premonitions and instead used them as a 'catalyst' to start the work she now does.
Since that day, Alysa has embraced her spiritual side wholeheartedly and discovered abilities she had no idea she could possess.
She added: 'Because of his suicide and what led up to it, I began to trust what was coming through to me.
'I knew that helping others connect with and learn to trust their intuition is the path for me, and that path appears – for now – through mediumship and all that comes with it.'
I couldn't pin point what this was really about because my father killing himself was 0% on the radar as an option.
Through her work as a psychic medium, under the business name Hello Who Said That, Alysa speaks with people from all walks of life to help connect them to lost loved ones and provide insight into their lives.
She says her work is altogether more subtle than films would have you believe, likening it to the visceral memory of a favourite place to visit and the 'instant download of information' recalling it can bring.
She said: 'You bring it to mind and you can see, feel, smell and know all about it.
'When I drop in with a client, that is what it is like – and then I translate what I am perceiving.'
Alysa says she doesn't get scared talking with spirits, adding, 'living people are way more of an energetic issue than the dead.
'Living people are entitled and demanding, and in denial.
'The dead are mostly just vibing.'
'Tsunami of souls'
She says she still gets "downloads", such as hearing a 'voice' in her head telling her her brother had gotten into an accident, and checking her phone to discover that had been the case.
She also claims to have sensed 'a big tsunami of souls leaving Earth' right before the Covid pandemic struck, killing millions of people worldwide.

Alysa, who believes we are all capable of such abilities, says death 'looks like many things' and believes life and the afterlife coexist alongside one another.
She added: 'If people take anything from any of this, it is that we are all parts of the whole.
'How we have been living is with great limitations, and these limitations can be lifted – spirits are here to show us that.
'This isn't a magical super power I have that others do not.
'It's like never doing a push-up in your life – you have to start doing them, and they are hard and they suck at first, but eventually you can do them.
'I am just someone who has been doing my push-ups – and others can as well.'
She believes more people should explore their own abilities.
Alysa added: 'More people should connect to this part of themselves because this is a great access point to greater connection – and connection is exactly what we all need.
'We are expansive beings who have been removed from access to that part of ourselves.
'People living lives aligned with their heart are people creating a better world.'

New recording reveals dramatic moment United flight with 200 people on board suffers engine failure

A newly-released audio recording has revealed the dramatic moment that a United Airlines flight with over 200 people on board suffered engine failure. The pilot on Munich -bound flight UA108 said his left engine had failed and he was 'declaring an emergency, mayday, mayday, mayday,' during the July 25 flight, according to cockpit and air traffic control audio. The Boeing 787-8 was carrying 219 passengers and 11 crew members when it was forced to turn around and head back to Dulles International Airport in Washington DC, United said. Following calls of 'mayday,' the pilot and air traffic control discussed plans for the plane's return, including how much fuel the aircraft would need to dump to become the proper weight for landing, according to audio posted to YouTube channel 'You can see ATC.' The tower cleared all nearby traffic for the plane's return and stayed in close contact with the pilot to ensure a safe landing. 'Speed at your discretion,' air traffic control said in the clip. 'Nobody behind you, nobody in front, sir.' Flightradar24 footage showed the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner circling northwest of the airport before returning safely to the ground. The pilot said it would take about six minutes to adjust their weight, before traffic control guided the plane to land on the runway. While the air traffic controller guided the United flight, there was another emergency aircraft on the runway that the controller was helping, according to the video. 'Tower, United 108 Heavy, emergency, we're clear,' the pilot can be heard saying as the footage shows the plane had landed safely. The plane 'returned to Washington Dulles shortly after takeoff to address a mechanical issue,' United said in a statement to The Independent. 'The plane landed safely, and all passengers deplaned normally at the gate,' the airline continued. 'The flight was subsequently canceled and we arranged alternate travel arrangements to take customers to their destination as soon as possible.' In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said it was aware of engine issues on the flight and was investigating. The flight, which was supposed to depart Dulles at 5:40 p.m. EST and land at Munich International Airport at 5:40 a.m. CEST the next day, ended up leaving Dulles at 6:11 p.m. and returning by 8:49 p.m., according to data from FlightAware A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority confirmed last week that the plane had experienced a mechanical issue. 'The plane landed safely, was checked by Airports Authority Fire and Rescue personnel, then towed to a gate,' the spokesperson said. 'There was no disruption to other flights.' The mechanical issue occurred as Boeing has faced scrutiny following the recent Air India crash in Ahmedabad, where the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner experienced a severe engine malfunction soon after take-off. The incident saw the London-bound flight plummet to the ground just minutes after taking off and killing all but one of the 242 people onboard, along with several others inside the buildings struck by the aircraft.

Flames and smoke force passengers to flee New York City area train

Flames leapt from the rails of a New York City area commuter train on Monday morning and smoke filled at least one car as passengers evacuated, according to authorities and video captured by a passenger. A roughly 30-second video posted to social media showed thick smoke on a Port Authority Trans-Hudson train car at the Newport station in Jersey City, New Jersey. People can be heard on the video saying 'open the door,' and 'easy, easy,' as they eventually disembark. The video then shows bright orange flames rising nearly to the top of the train car from the rails. The fire started at 6:19 a.m. on an eastbound train, and passengers were evacuated to the platform, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the train, said in a statement. Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, nine of whom were transported to the hospital for further evaluation, the Port Authority said. The incident is being investigated, it added. The PATH trains conduct an average of about 165,000 passenger trips daily across the Hudson River from northern New Jersey into Manhattan.

7 fast-food chains that use real cheese

Cheese can elevate a basic sandwich or burger into something crave-worthy – especially when it's made with minimal ingredients and little processing. Whether it's rich cheddar, mellow Swiss, or creamy Pepper Jack, real cheese adds irresistible flavor and texture. While some menu items call for processed cheese like American, there's no substitute for the real thing. These seven fast-food chains are known for using real cheese in their menu items. 1. Wendy's Wendy's incorporates real cheese in several of its offerings, including the Spicy Asiago Ranch Chicken Club, which features Asiago cheese. 'Over the years, we've used smoked gouda, blue cheese, asiago and feta on hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. Fresh mozzarella is the latest evolution of delivering fresh cheese to customers,' the company said when they launched the BelGioioso cheese on their menu in 2017. 2. Chick-fil-A At Chick-fil-A, sandwiches like the Spicy Deluxe come topped with real Pepper Jack cheese. 'Spicy deluxe is truly one of the best things in life' one fan said. Another commented: 'I always get their spicy chicken with pepper jack cheese. It's a good combination.' 3. Shake Shack 4. Freddy's 5. Burger King Burger King uses real Swiss cheese on its Bacon Swiss Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich. 'It's one of the best non-Whopper items on the menu' one fan says. 'Prefer it in Fiery form but the bacon/swiss one is good, too. And the crispy wraps are worth a try, too. Honey Mustard is the best of the 3, IMO.' 6. Popeyes 7. Carl's Jr.
