Paul, writing to the Corinthians (1 Cor 12), talked about the gift of Discernment of Spirits. This is one of the spiritual gifts that can be given by God to people.
It seems you have it! There are definitely RC's that have a mystical side to them. This is not against your denomination at all. We talked about this a bit when I was in seminary (a RC one).
Some people interpret this give as being able to differentiate between what is good, and what isn't. Others hold that it is simply an ability to see spirits (ghosts). Some think it is a bit of both - which the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about in it's article on this.
Some people get kind of spooked by all this, thinking it is evil, or something like that. But, like any gift, it being good or evil is up to you. Or, it is just the way things are - don't get too fussed by it. There are a lot of people like you (I am one of them!). We just carry on in our daily lives, going to church, and being as good a Christian as we can be. And, once in a while, something happens to us that is hard to explain. No biggie.
