A woman has revealed how she came to realise her otherworldly spiritual abilities – after getting signs predicting her own father’s death a week before he passed.
Alysa Conger grew up seeing strange “entities”, but she brushed them off until adulthood, when in the days before her father Kevin’s passing, she had multiple “downloads” – sudden intuitive insights.
When she learned he had taken his own life shortly after, she realised that she had a connection with the spiritual world – and she hasn’t stopped interacting with those ‘on the other side’ since.

“As a young child, I had instances of predicting future things or had general knowledge that would be brushed off by adults,” the 30-year-old psychic medium told Need To Know.
“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.
“I would [also] actually see entities.
“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 laying 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 sunk 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.”
Alysa, who is based in Los Angeles, California, found her visions impossible to ignore by October 2022, when she started to receive startling premonitions.
She said: “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 pin point 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.”
Alysa says she doesn’t feel guilt over her not understanding her premonitions, and instead used it 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.”

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 on 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.”
She still gets ‘downloads’, such as hearing a “voice” in her head telling her that her brother had gotten into an accident – and checking her phone to discover that had been the case.
She also had a sense of “a big tsunami of souls leaving Earth” right before Covid hit.
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 the access to that part of ourselves.
“If you dive into this stuff, you see so much more.
“People living lives aligned with their heart are people creating a better world.”
