Have you ever experienced something paranormal?

[L0d3x]

Don't ask me why I'm making this topic, I don't know why I thought of this again. But I was wondering if any other people here have experienced any kind of paranormal things?

To start this, I'm going to tell my ghost story that happened to me when I was 11. It goes as follows:

First some background and the setting:
I had just finished building an awesome lego soccer stadium (completely custom), and set it nicely in the middle of my carpet.

Also, me and my brother shared a room at this age.

Okay, so the story itself goes as follows:

I woke up at 4.20 AM, with a cramp in my right knee. Yes, I did look at the time. Suddenly, I heard what I thought was a whisper from my brother "hey". I looked to my right side, and right where I had set my lego stadium, stood what I can only discribe as a ghostly boy of around the same age as me. It wore a shirt with the letter 0 on it, and kept staring at me.

I was paralysed with fear, had no idea what to do or what was going on. I just kept staring at it as well. Time seemed to go by very slowly. Suddenly after a few minutes of staring at it, it literally disappeared from top to toe. It just started fading away, first at the top, then all the way down to the toe.

The next morning my brother told me, after I had explained what happened, that he didn't recall whispering anything to me at all. Nor was he awake when this happened.

Oh and before anyone comes in and says it was all my imagination: I understand it's very hard to believe this. But I know what I saw, and I can distinguish between dreams and reality. This was real. It wasn't any freaky coincidence of shadows from outside either.

In retrospect, I feel almost priviledged to have been able to experience this.

So, what are YOUR stories? I've got more to tell, but I'll let you guys go ahead first.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I've heard people call my name, and turn towards the direction of it with nothing there.
Maybe im just lonely though :S :'(

[Polamee]

I've told you this over Xfire already, but I'll post it for the benfit of those who have not heard it:

I have two encounters of the weird kind. The first is when I was 4.

I once had this little model house with windows. Basically, you could peer into the windows, inside the house. So I opened the window on one side, and the window on the other, so I could look through the house. Now the freaky bit is: a dark shadow passed over the second window, followed by footsteps. I stood up, but no one else was in the room. Since I was 4 and didn't know about ghosts, I didn't think much of it.

For a few days after that, I began to see strange shadows that would form at the edge of my vision, but I couldn't focus on them. They just sort of disappeared when I tried to get a good look. I can't remember much either.

When I was older and reading a ghost story book, I came across a phonemenon known as the 'shadowman'. Basically, witnesses would see weird shadows form at the edge of their vision, but the shadows would dissipate when looked at.

My second incident follows:

Last week, I was sleeping at my grandparent's flat, because my room was being painted. It has 2 rooms and is one of those government flats, that a lot of people in my country live in.

The flat has a smal lliving room between the 2 rooms, and a kitchen. It was small and cosy. Normally when you stay in these, you'll hear sounds from other flats, because some people are doing stuff late at night, such as washing dishes

But I heard a few sounds,like someone was doing stuff in the living room of the flat!

It was distinctly coming from the living room, not from the direction of other flats My grandparents were asleep in the other room. I'm positive of that. So I raised my hand, and turned on the light. As I did so, I heard a strange, quiet, sound that can only be described as a fleeting or quiet echo.

Still spooked.

Polamee [MP2SP]: fleeting echo

[StankBacon]

when i was younger we had a family party at my house, we were all in my yard and me and my cousin were in the back by the fence looking into the alley...

it was dark and we both saw a white figure walking across the rooftop of the house across the alley, we were freaked and noone believed us >.>




also, my sister has this friend who is pretty much always i guess you can say stalked or watched over by a black figure...

my sister saw it one day when she was sleeping over there, actually my sis and her other friend.... they were sharing a bed and the girl who gets stalked by this thing was across the room in another bed...

my sister looked over to the girls bed and saw the figure standing at the edge of the girls bed just watching... my sister said her name in fear and the girl just told her to be quiet so it doesn't get mad or some shit.

my sister told the other girl and she saw it too and they were crying and all that.


very freaky shit, alot of other crazy shit happened over there too.

[L0d3x]

Hmm, that's some crazy stuff indeed.

I've got some more craziness to tell, though it's not as paranormal as my ghost story:

Beside my parent's house, is another house, where my grandpa used to live. My parents lived there before they got married as well. Now, my dad was married to some other lady before, and...well she had hung herself in that house.

Anyways, me and my friends were having a poker night in said house just less than a year ago. After the game, me and my brother gave them a little tour of the old house. This house is now used by us as a storage facility. Anyways, my mother had left some books out on a table, she was sorting them I suppose.

Just when me and my friends were about to leave, my eyes fell randomly on this book with the title "We're watching you". That was some spooky shit, considering there are very old paintings with amazing gazes on them. This weird feeling fell upon us all, and we just got out of there asap.

The above may sound uninteresting, but consider this as well:
My mother told me stories of when they lived there, that paintings would get switched at night and stuff. I'd dare say something weird is going on there.

I've seen some pretty weird shit in there when walking by. The house has been abonded for years. In fact my great grandma was a bartender for the old lady who used to live there. No lies. Anyways I was walking down the sidewalk and I looked at the house, I looked into the window when all the sudden a hand just closes the curtain. And literally, I mean just a hand.

Anyone else lol when they read this?


On topic though; Too many to write.

[L0d3x]

Tbh, I sometimes think these ghosts and spirits or whatever you want to call them, do this spooky stuff for fun. My ghost didn't do much except staring at me and doing a cool disappear trick.

And err, I don't get the lol above me :(

[rossmum]

I was about 2 and was just mastering the art of crawling (yeah, I didn't walk for ages)... I was playing around in the dining room, and my parents were both in the kitchen. This was our house in Edmonton; we had a basement and there was a heating vent which came out in one corner of the dining room, on the floor. As far as I could tell, there was nobody in the basement. I was playing near the vent when without warning, one of dad's skis somehow made its way about two or three inches out of the vent and scared the living shit out of me. I distinctly remember having to drag myself into the kitchen because my legs just wouldn't work, and then gibbering and stuttering away to mum and dad about what'd happened. Given the fact I was moving so slowly it's entirely possible dad had, in fact, been down there moving shit about, but at the time I was absolutely bloody petrified and thought it was a ghost.

Other than that, I've had some serious deja-vu (it's pretty common for me to do things or hold conversations I'm sure I've already experienced, which is a little odd), and I hear voices and occasionally see things. I'd imagine that's more down to lack of sleep and a brain that refuses to switch off than anything otherworldly... my mind just about qualifies as that itself.

[L0d3x]

^ What kind of things do you see exactly?

[RecycleBin]

I used to have a cat that would lick my head when I was sleeping. Unfortunatly he died from sickness. But sometimes when I wake up I feel something rubbing against my head. And then it's gone.
Dammit, now I made myself cry.

[rossmum]

^ What kind of things do you see exactly?
Fleeting movements, faces, stuff like that. My eyes are really finely-tuned to movement but I can barely see my hand in front of my face without glasses or contacts.

I can pretty much guarantee it's my mind playing tricks on me, though. My imagination just doesn't know when to fuck off and it does such a good job that if I'm sort of half-arsedly awoken I'll continue dreaming while I'm actually awake, which is pretty trippy. Happens if I stay up more than about 30 hours at a time, too.

Of course, all paranormal encounters can be blamed on this cause of hallucinations or to a further extent, insanity. I do not believe it is as simple as that though.

my brothers terrible for this kinda shit.

if you wake him up he's still stuck in the middle zone.
you cna hold convo's and be all "what the fuck your not making any sense or anything at all what the fuck" and he's somewhere between consciousness and sleep.

fucks with teh brain.

so you may know what you saw, but was it what really happened?

Depends on the situation. In my case, I woke up by myself, no brainfuck was going on. I find I can tell between being half-assed awake, or having a clear mind. I had a clear mind when the ghost events happened.

[Bodzilla]

but if you want to get into it my mum had a dream about helping her dad down a tunnel to save him and he had MASSIVE problems atht night, hosipital surgery teh lot.

and a neighbour of mine i knew from when i was a kid (nice guy, never liked kids, except for our family) i dreamt he was having a heart attack or chest problems and i vowed to see him as soon as i could.
the same night he had a massive heart attack and was flown to Brisbane, he never made it back and i never saw him again.

nice guy, i miss him.

Yeah, trying to talk to/with me when I've just woken up is an exercise in hilarious futility. It goes in one ear and out the other, and any attempt at a response comes out making absolutely no sense at all. I remember once when dad woke me up for school and my ear was plugged with wax, I proclaimed rather loudly, "My ear is full of French!"...

No prizes for guessing which homework I'd hurriedly finished at 4AM, shortly before crashing.

I have genuine trouble telling the difference between reality and imagination the first fifteen minutes or so after I'm first woken up (usually this is where I fall asleep again for another hour or two, so I guess that's why); the other time this really strikes is when I'm on the verge of collapse or I've kept myself awake for two or three days straight via excessive caffeine consumption. I was watching a show on sleep deprivation and its effects the other night waiting for something to come on, it was really good... the reason this happens is that your brain actually tries to enter REM (dream sleep) even though you're still awake, and it trips you the fuck out.

Dosen't the body paralyse itself before entering REM sleep? Meaning that this is not the cause for a lot of the stuff here, because the witnesses were actually up and about when the vent occured.

I've got to stop reading this topic....its like 10 PM at night and my room is dark. Eyes beginning to play tricks on me when I read these stories =P

[rossmum]

No. As you get more and more fatigued, the brain starts shutting down compartment by compartment. They did a series of experiments to test different functions and it was pretty amazing how they'd be fine one minute and then just completely gone. One guy actually started babbling random words because the part of his brain he wanted to use shut down on him and it basically redirected to an unrelated memory bank.

[L0d3x]

Any idea how my ghost story could be explained?

I should note I had a completely clear mind, and I felt like I was nice and wide awake. No sleep shortages for me or the like.

[rossmum]

Even though you felt nice and wide awake, there's a chance that you weren't. On more than one occasion, I've woken up and gone to the toilet... only to actually wake up and realise I haven't (no, you sick cunts, so don't bother).

[Bodzilla]

thats what my brother says to me..... as well as dane.

the paranormal is something used to explain something that can't be...

i myself believe to some extent ghosts and spooks exist, only if logic and debunking can't duplicate it PERFECTLY piece for piece.

I myself have never had a experience of the paranormal type, I do liek to believe that those events can exist in our world...

as superstitious as it sounds I'm deathly afraid of "the witching hour" the time between 3 am and 4am, this is because from a paranormal standpoint it is when one is mostly likely to encounter something that goes "bump" in the night

Yeah, once when I was 10, I was in the bathtub and I farted for a full 15 seconds. I counted. How could somebody as small and skinny as I manage to contain that much gas? Man, that was paranormal.

True story, seriously.

yes, it's a stupid joke, but it really did happen >_>

You were dreaming.

Also, you say you were 11 when it happened. I dunno what your age is now, but I'm fairly sure that was a while ago. Over time, memories become warped and can change, so it's entirely possible that when you had this dream or hallucination, you were completely exhausted and were only kept awake or alert by the adrenaline rush of seeing this.

[thehoodedsmack]

My younger sister claims she saw a floating, flaming skull in our basement when she was really little. Then years later, we saw Ghost Rider. :iamafag:

I agree with this. The reason you think it's so real is because it was probably a lucid dream, or you were not fully asleep. I've seen parts of my room in dreams because I've woken up then fallen asleep again.

E:
Ok, so I remembered something not entirely paranormal, but funny. So it seems the right and left lobes of my brain seem to have a vendetta against each other, because for a whole week, every time I looked at somebody, regardless of gender, age etc, I'd suddenly get an image of them naked in my head. Not cool, well sometimes it was. >_>

[TeeKup]

I've had a few encounters.

I'm extremely superstitious when it comes to dealing with the paranormal. There are some doors that should never be opened, and there are a lot of places where our curiosity doesn't belong.

I wanted to believe it was real.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I've had physical items disappear on me after a few minutes of being away from it and never seeing it again.

Also, my dad, (not my stepdad) had told me of this one time in which he was riding a motorcycle, had gone off of a jump that he did not intend to, which would have normally resulted in death, but then was greeted by Jesus, and asked if he wanted to live.

He also supposedly changed a lot after that, weird huh?

Me and my bro saw a UFO of some sort.

Six white lights hovered 100-150 metres above us before suddenly zipping away at an incredible speed.

[Masterz1337]

I've had lights be on that weren't when I woke up when I was home alone for the night. That's it.

[Cojafoji]

Seen a couple things light up the sky during some camping trips. Also been in graveyards and heard unexplainable noises, and unexplainable sights.

Also, the worst one that I've experianced was an old house I lived in, for about 6 years. This was one hell of an old house, built in the 1870's, and it even had a trap door in the study/office that my dad had next to the living room. Anyway, at the top of the steps on any given night, you could watch, and wait, and even on windless nights, you would see something rocking back and forth in front of the front door. There was like a little shed thing around the front door, had enough place to put muddy boots, and a baseball bat stand. Anyway, some nights, I'd walk out, watch the (what looked like an old lady) rock back and forth for like hours, and then creep down, and see if she was there. There were some times when I was really quiet enough, and the stairs didn't creek, that I swear, when I got to the window, I could still see the outline of the old women...


Also, an addendum. As a child, I often watched X-Files, and as a result, suffered from chronic alien abduction nightmares. So one night, I wake up in my bed, in a cold sweat (this was in the house after the aforementioned house)and look around as I sat up. There were no sheets on my bed, and only one pillow. Another thing: my feet were muddy. So I'm 13, and I was like "WTF". So I hopped out of bed, and search the entire house, until I noticed the light in the laundry room was one. The laundry room was super small; it had the furnace, hotwater heater, a freezer and washer and dryer stuffed in there. It also had a convenient side door to the side of the house, directly in the driveway, which we used as much as the front door. Anyway, I stumble down into that room, and there is MUD EVERYWHERE. I'm fucking freaked out as hell, because there is literally a half mops bucket worth of mud sitting smeared all over the floor, and in little specks on the wall that look as if someone drew them there. I check out all the bathrooms in the house: there's no sign of mud on the towels, the floors, sink, anything. So I walk outside, reluctantly, and start looking around for more mud, or anything out of the ordinary for that matter. The hose is nowhere to be found, still coiled in the shed, and all of the faucets outside were turned off and not wet at all. So I keep looking around in a decent sized back yard, maybe 20 yards wide, and 15 yards deep. Anyway, it's pitch black, and I can't see shit. There's a little patch of moonlight at the center of the yard that I walk over too, and I find a foot wide/foot deep hole, filled with water, and mud. To top it off, there was my pillow, blanket and sheets sitting in the middle of the yard, folded. My brothers and father were gone for the weeken, camping, and I was at home alone with my mother and grandmother. So, apparently, I was outside, dug a hole full of mud, carried in mud to the laundry room, with my feet, and smeared it in odd looking shapes all over the floor, and the wall. With my feet. Anyway, after I found the blankets, I said fuck it and went to sleep. I wake up the next morning, the mud is gone, the hole is gone, but the little symbols on the wall near the hotwater heater, out of sight, were still there. The mop was dry, and the buckets were clean and dry. I walked out the back door to where the hole was, and like I said, it was gone. Though, I bent down, and I picked up the grass that was there, and beneath that was freshly packed with dirt. I checked the shed, and all of the shovels were totally spotless, and the heads were coated lightly with wd40, which I sprayed on them the week before when I was at a scout work weekend. Then I walked over to the side door, and on the concrete next to the house was my sized footprint, that totally covered the sidewalk in mud. It looked like I was pacing there covered in mud, walking back and forth...

yeah, so that's my second happening with the paranormal.

[=sw=warlord]

The most prominent thing i can rememer is when i was in ICU years ago and was watching somethng when in the courner of my eye i saw my grandmother who at that point had been dead for atleast 2 years.

[Rook]

An old house that was remodeled, originally built around 1904 I believe that my step brother lived in.

I stayed the night almost every other weekend. Anyway at this house sometimes we'd hear something walking around the wrap around porch and run out there to find no one.

Even weirder we'd hear stuff walking upstairs. when it's only me, my stepbrother and our friend in the house downstairs playing xbox. Sometimes you'd hear the footsteps walking down the stairs and we'd get so scared but they always stopped when they reached the bottom and we'd have the bedroom door locked. :(

Even scarier because this house was up on a mountain kinda in the middle of nowhere. Got pics of it somewhere!

I'm 20 now, so yeah it was a long time ago. I understand how hard it must be to believe such a story, but I really can tell the difference between being awake, half-awake, or well, sleeping. I am very sure I was well rested, and completely awake. The combination of events were too coincidential for it to have been a halucination, imo. I mean, I heard a whisper very clearly, the schim, the way it disappeared, this just was not a dream or a half-awake symptom.

But again, I understand how hard it is to believe it if you haven't been through something like this. To strengthen my credibility, this hasn't happened since, nor did it ever happen before.

[Angatar]

When I was about 7 I built a lego plane (legos seem haunted) and I tripped and it broke in half.

As I was re-building it I get tapped on the shoulder. I turn around to see nothing but this misty-like shape. I hear, "Good-bye," and then it disappears.

5 minutes later my mom calls me down, and tells me my great-grandmother just died.

I hope that by UFO you mean "unidentified flying object" as opposed to "ALIENSSSSS."

When looking at something in the sky, you have no frame of reference for telling how far away it is, and you don't know its original shape and size (because it is unidentified~). You can't know anything about its speed relative to you, so you can't assume it was going fast just because it looked that way. It could have been a plastic bag floating a few metres above you which reflected some light.

[Higuy]

One time I was getting plates out for company (Family members..) I got enough forks, knives and plates out for 12 people that were coming. After setting everything out, I went back and to the kitchen but was distracted by the TV and sat there watching something on the news (can't remember), then I got a phone call from my mom saying that 3 of the family members couldn't make it. So I was like ok, and went back to the table, and 3 plates, knives, and forks were missing. I went back to the cabinet were we keep the plates, and there they were, same with the knives and forks.

Another time, not my story but my moms, said that one time while sleeping she woke up. Since she shared a room with her other sister they were in the same room. She woke up, and saw a white figure standing over her sisters bed praying, and she said seemed to be floating too.. she went back to bed because she was scared. The next morning she told her mom about it, and she said she smiled and said, sure you did.

[sevlag]

Just wondering, if there was a ghost, what made you think locking a door would stop it, wouldn't it just walk straight through the door?its called "irrational thought" in a moment of panic a person or persons will try to defend themselves against an enemy that may or may not be there...in the case of locking the door, its a basic instinct to lock a door as being behind a locked door gives the panic-ee a feeling of safety.

thats why

[OmegaDragon]

I've had my fair share of creepy things going on around me. When I was about 5 years old, had one of those (what I hope was a dream) moments where you are paralyzed on your bed, and you are fully aware of what is happening. When I look around with my eyes, I see a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. I Immediately begin to scream and my dad runs into the room. When he oppens the door the shadowy figure is swiped away by the door, and I am scared shitless at this point. Over the years, I have had similar experiences while I am both awake, and dreaming. The most recent one was about 3 weeks ago I woke up to the shadowy figure standing near my door. Along with this, I've also had major deja vu issues, and frequently remember these things. So when I see something that I have "done" before, I always try to do what wasn't in it, even though it always turned out the same way. I'ts some weird shit...

When he oppens the door the shadowy figure is swiped away by the door, and I am scared shitless at this point. Over the years, I have had similar experiences while I am both awake, and dreaming. The most recent one was about 3 weeks ago I woke up to the shadowy figure standing near my door. Along with this, I've also had major deja vu issues, and frequently remember these things. So when I see something that I have "done" before, I always try to do what wasn't in it, even though it always turned out the same way. I'ts some weird shit...


Woah, me too. Scary shit this stuff is.

[Heathen]

I had blood in my stool once.

Scared the bloody shit out of me.

[Higuy]

I've also had major deja vu issues,
Yeah, I have that frequently. It went away for a while, for like a year and now its came back and its freaky/annoying...

[ThePlague]

I dream things and the next day or two they happen. I don't remember till it happens. Scares the shit outta me.

Oh and I also hear people call my name.

[STLRamsFan]

I remember a few years ago, I went to bed and wasn't really all that tired. After a few minutes, I toss and turn. All of the sudden, I feel and hear this knock from under my bed (which is wood). Knocked four times then stopped. Knocked four times again and stopped. After about 30 seconds, it started up again! Scared me big time and after maybe the forth time, it stopped altogether. Ever since there, I've never experienced it again. Weird stuff I tell ya...

[Xetsuei]

I've never experienced anything paranormal.

It was probably the wood expanding.

[Heathen]

I've never experienced anything paranormal.
Neither have I.
Because I don't believe in what is considered paranormal.

[Roostervier]

I've had my fair share of creepy things going on around me. When I was about 5 years old, had one of those (what I hope was a dream) moments where you are paralyzed on your bed, and you are fully aware of what is happening. When I look around with my eyes, I see a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. I Immediately begin to scream and my dad runs into the room.

So when I see something that I have "done" before, I always try to do what wasn't in it, even though it always turned out the same way. I'ts some weird shit...Sounds like sleep paralysis. Hardly paranormal, but doesn't mean it can't give you a scare.

Also

Don't believe in ghosts and they never seem to bother me.

Must be the ganja.

I know I've experienced something paranormal somewhere throughout my life but I can't remember.

If you guys really feel the urge to dick around in this thread, please leave.


I dunno, this is what I have:
Ok so this started like 8 months ago... I told my dad and mom and they don't believe me. So on my hand every few weeks or so, I get about 12 dots in columns and rows. They aren't big and they look like I would have applied presure on my hand to get them from another object.. Now this is what is keep freaking me out, Alot of the times I never touched anything with such a formation or anything non smooth for that matter.. It doesn't last long, but it stays for about a day. It randomly comes at different times and at either the right hand or the left hand.

I also get alot of déjÃ* vu. :(

Eh... (Wrote this on my iPod touch)

I've never talked about this on here, but I'm actually a professional Paranormal Investigator. If you don't know what that means, its like the show Ghost Hunters on SciFi, to give a comparison. That show has brought attention to the paranormal community so its easy to use that to explain to people.

Anyways, Ive been in a group called Ghost Hunters SRQ for nearly two years, and the group has been around for 8. I used the word professional above, but I just mean that its legitimate, not just some wacko chasing ghosts with a vacuum cleaner.

I got interested in paranormal when I was little. I always go to my grandmas house in Delaware during summer. my brother and I used to stay in the bed that my grandfather died in. At least once every time we would visit, one of us would wake up at around the same time every time. My grandfathers rocking chair would be rocking back and forth in perfect rhythm. You know its not because of the wind, because it was constant and in perfect rhythm, with no airflow.

Well this got me into paranormal and my brother and I eventually joined this group. We are now the tech managers of the group. We brought it into the 21st century with new equipment, and we built and maintain our website.

Here is a link to the website if you are interested. (http://ghosthunterssrq.com)

Now, with all the stuff I've learned, I went back this summer to try to debunk the rocking chair. I tested for any airflow, uneven floorboards, electromagnetic interference, etc. Nothing seemed to be irregular, though I did not experience the rocking chair moving this time.

Go on my website if you want to learn some stuff about ghost hunting, listen to some audio clips or whatever, there's a lot to look at.

[SnaFuBAR]

Well, let's see... There was that time I was alone in my house, around 2am closing windows and locking doors to make sure everything was secure (lived in a bad area at the time), and i went to my parents' room to make sure their window was closed. I close it, walk out of the room and into the hallway and I feel a breeze on the back of my legs. I though "shit i though i closed that window", and turned around to go back, but uh, there was this big as hell figure, shaped like a dog, sort of like maybe the shape of a doberman, and it wasn't solid looking. The shape was formed by this very dark gray smoke, and the thing fucking growls at me, putt its head down like it's about to attack. I was absolutely fear stricken, and couldn't move. The thing backs up into the dark and disappears.

Then, there was the time I was taking a piss in the bathroom. Something grabbed me by the belt or the back of my jeans or something and yanked me hard off of my balance and into the tub.

[Bodzilla]

Also, an addendum. As a child, I often watched X-Files, and as a result, suffered from chronic alien abduction nightmares. So one night, I wake up in my bed, in a cold sweat (this was in the house after the aforementioned house)and look around as I sat up. There were no sheets on my bed, and only one pillow. Another thing: my feet were muddy. So I'm 13, and I was like "WTF". So I hopped out of bed, and search the entire house, until I noticed the light in the laundry room was one. The laundry room was super small; it had the furnace, hotwater heater, a freezer and washer and dryer stuffed in there. It also had a convenient side door to the side of the house, directly in the driveway, which we used as much as the front door. Anyway, I stumble down into that room, and there is MUD EVERYWHERE. I'm fucking freaked out as hell, because there is literally a half mops bucket worth of mud sitting smeared all over the floor, and in little specks on the wall that look as if someone drew them there. I check out all the bathrooms in the house: there's no sign of mud on the towels, the floors, sink, anything. So I walk outside, reluctantly, and start looking around for more mud, or anything out of the ordinary for that matter. The hose is nowhere to be found, still coiled in the shed, and all of the faucets outside were turned off and not wet at all. So I keep looking around in a decent sized back yard, maybe 20 yards wide, and 15 yards deep. Anyway, it's pitch black, and I can't see shit. There's a little patch of moonlight at the center of the yard that I walk over too, and I find a foot wide/foot deep hole, filled with water, and mud. To top it off, there was my pillow, blanket and sheets sitting in the middle of the yard, folded. My brothers and father were gone for the weeken, camping, and I was at home alone with my mother and grandmother. So, apparently, I was outside, dug a hole full of mud, carried in mud to the laundry room, with my feet, and smeared it in odd looking shapes all over the floor, and the wall. With my feet. Anyway, after I found the blankets, I said fuck it and went to sleep. I wake up the next morning, the mud is gone, the hole is gone, but the little symbols on the wall near the hotwater heater, out of sight, were still there. The mop was dry, and the buckets were clean and dry. I walked out the back door to where the hole was, and like I said, it was gone. Though, I bent down, and I picked up the grass that was there, and beneath that was freshly packed with dirt. I checked the shed, and all of the shovels were totally spotless, and the heads were coated lightly with wd40, which I sprayed on them the week before when I was at a scout work weekend. Then I walked over to the side door, and on the concrete next to the house was my sized footprint, that totally covered the sidewalk in mud. It looked like I was pacing there covered in mud, walking back and forth...

all perfectly explainable by sleep walking and a good mum.

i used to take the screens off the windows because the doors where locked during my sleep, break out of the house and go for a walk.
was pretty good at it too.
went past my parents room at 3 in the morning and the only sound i made was from this little chu-chu train that poofed as i walked past and down the street.

You'd be surprised what you can do in your sleep.

[rossmum]

I dream things and the next day or two they happen. I don't remember till it happens. Scares the shit outta me.

Oh and I also hear people call my name.
whatup bro, same here though usually the voices can be attributed to lack of sleep or my oversensitive hearing picking out sounds in songs which bear resemblance to people calling my name


It was probably the wood expanding.
or a trapped animal in the floorspace perhaps

[Phobias]

After a scary movie marathon with a few mates, one of my mates pointed at a window and yelped "something just moved past the window". Everyone froze. All eyes glued to the window. Then something darted past the window again, all of us jumped. We heard what sounded like a knife being scraped across the bricks outside and a weird dragging sound. Me, being the only one who doesn't believe in the paranormal grabbed a cricket bat and decided to go outside.

As I leave the house something moves in the bushes, a little freaked I decided to investigate by throwing a dart that I'd just pulled out of their dartboard, into the bush. "UNGHHH" I heard, so I charged at the bushes and with one mighty swing with the bat knocked unconcious my mates father.

[Polamee]

I didn't mention this in my post earlier in this topic, because it simply slipped my mind.

Well anyway, I was going through some old photos. I found this one taken 6 years ago, when I was 7 and my sis was 11. We were standing next to each other, in some other country....somewhere in Europe I think.

Anyway, I was about to discard this photo into the pile when something caught my eye. Far away in the background of the picture, there's this house, and there's a ladder on its side, and climbing on it is a headless man in a black suit. I was darn spooked and looked at it carefully, and it seemed true: it must have been a headless man. I showed it to my sis, who was equally spooked.

My parents don't believe me and think its some kind of photo lens error. I don't see how that's possible though.

I still have the photo.

[n00b1n8R]

is it possible that he had.... bent his neck!?!?!

[Polamee]

is it possible that he had.... bent his neck!?!?!

So that it was out of view?

[Rook]

Just wondering, if there was a ghost, what made you think locking a door would stop it, wouldn't it just walk straight through the door?

This was about 3 years ago and the oldest of us was about 15!

[Cojafoji]

Totally agree. It's just that it appears that I carried the mud inside, and dug the hole and wrote with the mud, all with my feet. That's the scary part.

[rossmum]

What angle was he facing in relation to the camera?

[Rob Oplawar]

Ok, seriously though, I know it's irrational but I have to admit it's legitimate. I did once have an experience which I still cannot explain.

So, I was at my grandparents' house, which was built in the 1930s (true story, it's a really cool house!). During the day it's really homey and comfortable and nice, but at night it's kind of spooky. So, my grandmother had a twin brother, who was a priest, who died a few years ago. They were extremely close, the kind of twins who seemed to know exactly what the other was feeling, even when they lived hundreds of miles away from each other. When he passed away, my grandmother fell extremely ill for several weeks.

So, I was visiting, and one night I woke up to hear my grandma talking- she seemed to be addressing her brother. I thought she must just be getting old and confused, but then I heard his voice. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but he sounded extremely worried. My mom was staying there as well, and apparently the talking woke her up too, because she came into the den where I was sleeping. We both saw a shadowy figure exit the kitchen where the talking was coming from, and then we heard my grandma scream. My mom got scared, and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

[L0d3x]

Lol, so I take it that didn't happen...

[Atty]

Ever since I was a young child, about 10 or so, I've had the same experience over and over. Let me first say that I am not asleep or anywhere near sleep when it happens. And it doesn't always happen when I'm in bed. It has happened at work, while I'm driving, or when I'm at home doing simple things, such as cooking or cleaning house. It did start, though, in my bed when I was young. My sister and I shared rooms when we were children and sometimes even slept in the same bed. I don't remember the very first time it happened, but it always started the same way. I would feel someone or something sit on the edge of the bed. At times when I was alone I thought it was my sister coming to bed. It also happened when she was in bed with me. Also, I have never felt the paralysis I read about when reading about these experiences.

Anyway, when the experiences started around age 10, all that really happened was I would feel someone climb into bed and lie next to me. I was never scared, just curious, I guess. As I got older, the experiences took on a more sexual nature. Mostly I would feel touching and kisses. Around the age of 19, the spirit or whatever it is, became more possessive, it seems. It became more forceful. The sexual experiences were rough and over fairly quickly. They seemed to only last few minutes. And again I say that each time these things happened I would be wide awake. The experiences I've had in my car and at work are nothing more than a caress or a soft kiss, but they were constant until I had my daughter. During the time I was pregnant with her, I had no experiences whatsoever, but as soon as two or three days after having her, the experiences started again and were totally different than before.

I still have them today and they scare me to death. I can now see the thing that has visited me for so long. He is a man of maybe his mid-40s. The experiences start off in a sort of sexual way, but then he puts his hand in the center of my chest, and I feel like my breath is taken away. I start gasping for air. I can't breathe at all, and just before I feel like I'm about to pass out, he disappears. And it's like he was never there. I spoke with someone about this, someone who supposedly has some sort of psychic abilities. She told me that he is someone from a past life who has come to this one to try and take me back, which makes no sense to me whatsoever.

[Chainsy]

I have had the same experience atty....it started when I was twelve, I was watching this documentary on the hottest beach going babes... and I felt an odd tingle in my pants, and they began to levitate by themsevles!!! ever since then it happens almost 8 times a day, and even more frequent around my girl friend...I am scared and am starting to think she is either a ghost.. or possesed by one!!!

Obviously the right course of action is to get a crucifix and sharpen the end and stab her in the heart, ONWARD TO THE HOLY MISSION!!! :hist101:

[Needles]

When I was little, we lived in an old house and every time I went to the bathroom when I was 4 I would see some sort of figure in the room next to it.

My mom also said that before I was born she saw a ghost, just standing there and leaving, and said later is looked like I do now, only taller and a bit older. Oh yeah, and a man died in that house a year or 2 before we bought it.

[Napalm]

humm, once when I was exploring(my fav) around this building where I used to play guitar, I went down these stairs and to where the basment was located. I just remember seeing a safe on these stairs. Twas the weirdest sensation, I cant describe it.

I also ramble shit when I get woken up. a while ago my mommy woke me up after I was sick and she was like "are you up to going to school" and I was just like "no, I dont fucking want to everyone is in the special olympics at track"

I don't even know what that was supposed to mean.

[L0d3x]

Nothing paranormal now, but rather entertaining.

I'm in exam-study mode/time now. And after a long lazy...I mean "intense day of studying", I just let myself fall on my comby bed. I started dozing, but I was still half awake. I started imagining I was playing soccer, and as I shot a ball at the goal, I slid out in my half dream. This kicked my actualy body/legs into gear, and my legs just flew up!

Funny and cool.

I do that too. I dreamt I was in a fight and I woke up as I threw the last punch and I hit the wall, breaking a hole in it :lmao:

But other than that, the one experience I've had is this.
First, I swear to God I was completely and entirely awake. I woke up at 2 AM cause I had to piss. I looked at my clock, which is by my window. As I say the time I saw something hanging on the outside of my window. Just hanging there. Like a monkey. I was paralyzed for a good 30 seconds. I just stared at it. Then it leaped up back onto the roof of my house and then I heard footsteps on the roof. I nearly pissed myself and my whole family got up and we searched outside for it, we didn't find anything.

EDIT: before you say it, there's no trees outside my window either, and the street lights backlight it like it was solid. All I saw was the sillouhette (however you spell that)

Do you live near woods or anything? It could really be a monkey. I once lived in this house which was beside a forest, and we frequently had problems with monkeys climing over fences and such to steal food.

[UnevenElefant5]

We live in a very well populated neighborhood. My window faces my backyard and our neighbor's house is about 3 yards away. There's no monkeys around here. We have had 1 coyote though lol.

[Corndogman]

Midget on a grappling hook probably.

[UnevenElefant5]

:omfg:
oh no the midgets are coming!

[Huero]

according to my mom i told my grandmother exactly how her father died when nobody knew precisely why or how
all they knew is that he got stabbed
this is because i had been talking to his ghost in the living room while playing with my toys
i was like

My mom and dad both experienced a haunting at this place we stayed at in Charleston. My dad couldn't ever go to sleep because of noises in the kitchen and my mom woke up one night to see a ghost child to stare her in the face.

F you. If I saw a ghost in my face at night, I probably would either say What The Fuck or punch it in the "face" to make sure it wasn't my brother.
