Listen to your intuition. Do you meditate? Meditation is a necessary tool for anyone to develop their intuition in a healthy manner. Without being able to still your mind you hear "chatter" rather than messages as such.

Your Mother may have passed over & is no longer there. Or she may still be. Entities can attatch themselves to people, furniture, land anything really. Entities of all types.

Without having the ability to still your mind we can become paranoid & reactive to Energy - so if you don't already try and begin to meditate. Your clarity will definitely improve.
