Have I really seen angels? Two inexplicable encounters

CosmicRise

I wanted to share something personal that’s been on my mind. When I was a very small child, something really scary happened. I remember being so terrified, but then I felt this incredible sense of peace. It felt like an angel wrapped its wings around me until I fell asleep. When I woke up, that feeling was gone, but the comfort stayed with me. It was like being protected during the worst moment.

Then, about seven or eight years ago, I had another strange moment. I was in a grocery store parking lot and saw a very handsome young man standing with two other people. I looked away for just a second, and when I looked back, he was completely gone—but the two others were still there! Time just seemed to stop for a moment. It was so surreal.

Both times left me wondering about those quiet moments of calm or the unexplained things we sometimes see. Has anyone else ever felt or seen something like that? I’d love to hear your stories!

I have contemplated the idea of seeing an angel, particularly Archangel Michael and Raphael. Defining an angel's appearance is complex, as visual experience is subjective. I recall a personal moment where I felt a strong and distinct presence I associate with Archangel Michael. This was not a visual sighting but a deeply felt, impactful presence that seemed to communicate a sense of peace and protection. I have also felt a similar comforting presence with Archangel Raphael. These experiences highlight how spiritual encounters are often defined by inner feeling and personal significance rather than by physical form. It is the emotional and spiritual impact that marks such moments as meaningful.
