paranormal experiences?

Tired one day I lay on the floor under the light of a triangle shape window and let the sun shine upon me. I fell into a sleep trance and heard crumpling sounds like as if someone was squeezing a plastic grocery bag. Then I saw a black shadow come over me. I was laying face down so I could see the shadow. It put weight on me and I couldn't get up. I was all alone and was very frightened. I started praying in my head and then the weight was lifted off of me. I left immediately and tried never to be alone in that house.

I have experienced ghosts.  In one home I was in w/ my oldest daughter, we had been experiencing things.  She stayed home one day and we went into the basement.  The dead center of it.  There were no boxes around us and no one else in the house w/ us.  We said the Lord's Prayer and held hands.  Then we said out loud "ok we know you are here.  Show us!"  The next thing we knew, a box was kicked on the other side of the room.  Showed a footprint and all.  Quite freaky.

I have been doing extensive study on just that. Spirits of all kinds. There are stories in my family that go way back to my father's childhood and service in Vietnam. Examples:\n\nSeance:\n\nMy father and his friends used to help and elderly lady with her yard work. She always rewarded them with cookies and lemonade while they worked. They never charged her. After she died, they decided to try a seance. They lit candles and called out for her to come and see them. They were in her basement at this time. Supposedly, she came walking through the wall carring a plate of cookies with a blank staring smile. They all ran for their lives. \n\nGermany: \n\nDuring his tour of duty, my father took a leave in Germany and stayed at a bed and breakfast there. He was told that the place was haunted by the owners pet, a three legged dog that had gone out an upperstory window to it's death. He and his friends laughed this of until they saw the dog run through the room and up the stairs. They couldn't find it again after that, but it is reported to run up the stairs and out the window it fell from every four or five days.\n\nMyself: 7 years old:\n\nI was seven when I had my first experience. I was a kid who buried himself in the covers and I woke up in the middle of the night to find my blankets neatly folded over at the end of the bed. A figure stood in the shadows of my bedroom door. I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like it had on an army helmet and wore rags. I dived for the blankets at the end of the bed and covered myself back up again. I fell back asleep and woke again about an hour later. This time the figure stood right next to my bed and and motioned with its fingers flexing seven of them, bony looking, at me three times. I can't be sure, but I thought I saw a skull in the helmet. My covers were folded at the end of the bed again. I dove for them and covered up again. I can't explain why I didn't cry out. I guess I just couldn't.\n\n14: When I was fourteen we moved to Utah. I lived in the basement. I was awakened in the night to see a figure in my doorway again. This one was large and looked like it had a pair of giant bones sticking out from a medeival helmet. I couldn't see any other details. I covered up and hid. This time, I was grabbed and thrown out of bed against the wall. I got up and ran upstairs. No one was found in the house though.\n\nSo what happened? Was my father smoking something? Was I dreaming? We aren't totally sure. I have found excessive trauma in my families past and have endured quite a bit myself. My father and some of his soldier buddies apparently took up some study of black magic while in Vietnam. I can't vouch for it all, because I wasn't around yet, but it's hard to say what did or didn't happen then. War creates horrors beyond explanation.\n\nDo I believe in good or evil spirits? Absolutely. I have studied several hauntings that you can even look up on the internet.\n\nClearfield Job Corps: E Dorm is supposedly haunted by two ghosts. One is a little girl with a ball. I stayed in E dorm while I was in Job Corps. I wasn't the only person who heard a bouncing ball sound in the halls occasionally. The other is a Residential Advisor who is supposed to have died after I left. So I never saw that one.\n\nJust to note. I do not drink and I have never touched illegal drugs.\n\nSo there you have it, not all of my experiences, but a couple. I have also studied removal of spirits. But those are other stories. Good day to you.

I recently started doing paranormal investigations.  I have plenty of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorded.  On these recordings I've heard kids laughing, moans, whispers and clear phrases.  These include:  "Go back", "Interesting" and "Can you hear that?".\n\nI've seen a cat run across my bedroom several times.  One night, I saw a bright light move left to right.  It then turned and went down towards the floor then disappeared.  It was bright but didn't light up the room at all.  One day I saw a large drop of water fall from the bathroom ceiling into a bowl that was in the middle of the tub.  I even heard it land and saw ripples.  There was no sign of water on the ceiling and the bowl was nowhere near the faucet.  \n\nMy 2 yr old son saw what he called a "ghost dog" in my bedroom.  He ran and hid under my covers for quite some time.  My daughter saw a bearded man in army fatigues and a little girl in a white dress.

Yes, ghosts are real.  I have felt them, and I have dealt with several of these poor souls.  \nHere's one story, but it isn't much, it's something that happened to me:\nMy good friend Tyler was killed in a car accident in fall of '99.  The last time we spoke, I told him that he HAD to come visit me in my new apartment.  He promised he would.  A few days after his funeral, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of someone coming into my apartment.  It sounded like the door opened, but it was still closed.  Whoever it was walked throughout the apartment, taking their sweet time, then they came and stood by me, where I was sleeping on the couch (one hand wrapped around my baseball bat).  \nI couldn't see them, but I could feel them.  It was Tyler, I know without a doubt.  After he was gone, I sat up and smoked a cigarette, wondering at what had just happened.  Then I went back to sleep, feeling very peaceful, and happy that Tyler had kept his promise, even in death.\nIn the morning, I started to think it was a dream...but there were three cigarette butts in my ashtray (I always emptied all of my ashtrays before going to bed).  Two were Marb Reds, which are what I smoke.  One was a Marb Light, which was what Tyler smoked.  \nCoincidence?  I think not.\nI have had other encounters with spirits (including more with Tyler), but that one is my favorite, because it was so personal.  No one else can back me up on it, but people can back me up on the others; they were there.

My sister and I were discussing this last night. She said a good way is to put a tape recorder in a room. Press record and leave it alone for several hours. Then replay it, listening to the static. That is the only way you would hear them. \n\nBeyond that, it depends on how intuned you are to the paranormal. I am very intuned and I get chills down my spine in the presence of anything paranormal. I have only once experienced smell involved.

I've seen, heard, felt the ghost of my cat shortly after I had to have her put down. \n\nMy bedroom was her room also and I had a baby gate at the entrance to keep our dog out of the room. After she passed I saw her out of the corner of my eye and heard her jumping over the gate. My Mom and Gramma also lived with me and they too had heard her jumping over the gate. In the mornings to wake me up she used to walk over me. After she passed I had felt her walk over my chest. \n\nPutting her down was very hard for me. I was with her when she passed. She was my baby and experiencing these things was very comforting. I believe she was letting me know that she was ok.\n\nMy Gramma had to have her dog put down also not long after this. A little while after she moved out into an apartment and a couple times she heard Sheena barking. \n\nGhosts can be frightening but under these circumstances I believe they were just saying goodbye.

I am a Paranormal Investigator, so I've definatley had experiences in that capacity.  I also grew up in a house that had some strange "goings on."\n\nHere are just a few of my experiences:\n\n** When I was a little girl my bedroom was downstairs by the staircase going up.  I hated to sleep with the bedroom door open because I would hear strange noises coming from the kitchen and the staircase.  I made my Mom move my bed to the wall opposite the staircase because I would swear that something was standing on the stairs and trying to reach through the wall to get me.  Granted, I was 6 years old at the time.  But I remember very clearly one night in particular.  I was deeply asleep when the bed started to shake.  I woke up and yanked the covers over my head.  I lifted up a corner to glance out and saw a black hand reach up towards me.  The hand put one finger at a time on my blanket until four long, pointy black fingers were within inches of my nose.  I was so scared I couldn't even breathe.  Suddenly the hand yanks on the covers.  I yanked back and screamed with all my might.  My parents came running and finding me sitting up and screaming for help, tried to convince me I had a nightmare.  To this day I don't know if it really happened, but even just thinking about it gives me the willies.\n\n** When I was about 17 my parents went away over night.  I was in command of the house for a full 48 hours and was thrilled.  I borrowed a bunch of movies, popped some popcorn, and settled in for a night of relaxation.  Halfway into the first movie I heard a strange scraping noise coming from the front window.  I turned my head and watched in horror as the window slowly opened.  My rational self was telling me the window was unlocked and probably warped, so not to worry.  My rational self quickly gave up that opinion when the window slammed shut very quickly.  My reaction probably would have been funny had someone been around to see it.\n\n** One night at my aunt's house, at least 9 of my family members and I were sitting around the dining room table playing Taboo!, which is an extremely loud game to play.  Suddenly all of us became quiet at the same time.  Footsteps could be clearly heard from the floor above us, but everyone in the house was around the table.  Somehow I was elected to go check it out.  As I'm walking up the steps a blast of cold air comes by me and the bathroom door at the top of the stairs slams closed.\n\n** While staying over night in a haunted B&B with several fellow investigators, my roomie and I very clearly heard the sound of snoring in the room.  We walked around to every room in the building, but could not find the source of the snoring.  Once back in the room the snoring ghost continued to keep us company for several minutes.\n\n** During the course of a paranormal investigation of a private residence I said to the homeowners, "We haven't been able to find anything yet tonight."  Immediately after that we heard several loud bangs on the ceiling over our heads.  We were on the second floor and everyone in the house was within my line of sight.

Yep, Ive seen a few. I dont believe in ghost though. I believe that once  a person is dead there dead. Thier spirit either goes to heaven or hell and stays there. So i believe that when we see \n"Ghost" its a Demon. I Believe they portay themselves as ppl we know or whatever.  Ive seen alot of them in my house, My friends houses, and a church. I was in a normal state of mind. The scariest "encounter" was when i was about 13 i was at my friends house and we was laying on her bed with our heads hanging of the edge, when we heard a scrapping noise, we jumped up and looked at where the noise was coming from and there was her stuffed animal hanging from the top of the wall, and then it fell. It was wierd. We didnt see an actual qhost but something was there. And one  night 2 years ago i was staying at my best friends house and there house was empty cause they were moving the next day. Well we slept in the living room that night and ALL night Doors kept opening and slamming shut. Then lights were going off and on. and you could hear footsteps in the kitchen. but you couldnt see anything anywhere. It was so scary. We've also seen a male looking ghost there that goes by the name of John John.  SCARY!!!

I have had experiences.  For all of those who dont believe, you must not have had any.  My dad never has believed until he bought the house he now lives in and unexplained things happened in front of his face.  \n  My aunt died 6 yrs ago and every once in while I look up when I am preparing dinner and see her looking at me. she never stays long, but still comes around every now and then.  \n  I do believe that spirits exist.

A month ago I started investigating the paranormal.  I'm starting out in cemetaries.  I bring with me a digital camera and a digital voice recorder.  I haven't yet gotten any pictures of apparitions.  I do, however, have quite a bit of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon).  I've heard anything from children laughing to moans.  From someone blowing directly into the mic to clearly whispered phrases.  Just two nights ago I recorded 16 minutes worth of EVP.  I found 12 different spots where there was communication.  One female whispered, "Can you hear that?"  Immediately after, a man chuckled and moaned.  My partner recorded someone saying, "Go back" and later, "Interesting."  It was so neat to listen to.  I will soon have the chance to investigate the home of my boyfriend's aunt and also his cousin's house.  Both of which have major activity.

One time on a camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nOn another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost it was in my tent, so I searched my tent, and the flashlight was not in there. Then I had two friends search the tent, and they couldn't find the flashlight. I put out offerings to the fae, and the next morning, the flashlight was back in my tent.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.

Yes I have.  The weirdest thing that happened was after my husband left to go to work one morning around 5am, I heard the bedroom door open and someone walk across the floor.  I thought my husband had forgotten something and came back.  I felt someone sit on the side of the bed and I looked out from the covers expecting to see my husband, but no one was there.  I was scared.  I asked him when he came home from work if he came back in the bedroom and he said no.  When I told him what happened, he said the same thing had happened to him before.\nI have since moved and no longer feel anything in my bedroom, but I would swear something watches me as I sit in the living room in the evening.  It is always the same.  I will be in there alone watching tv or reading and I get a feeling someone is standing over by my grandfather clock watching me.  The freaky part about that is even my cat notices it.  He will either stare in that direction or leave the room, not getting anywhere near the clock.

Write it down, everything you can remember--time, moon phase, date, etc.  If you want to share it with people, fine. If not, keep it to yourself. Someday you might hear about someone looking for that sort of experience and you can share it with them.  Lots of people write books on paranormal experiences and are looking for true stories. If there's a local place that investigates such phenomena, you can give them a call and see if anyone else has seen something similar in the same area. (I happen to have the Warrens, who are famous ghosthunters, in my state.)

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?
