Paranormal experiences?

[JackOfHearts]

I thought it was ok to mention it there as it's relevant to the discussion.

I thought it was ok to mention it there as it's relevant to the discussion.

And I thought it was ok because the thread is in "The Chatter Box".

We would rather it's just in the dedicated thread. As in the rules..

If you wish to make any mention of religion, there is a religion-safe and an astrology thread in the chatter box.

I love watching "Ghost Adventures," on the Travel Channel. There are at least two locations they've visited within a few hours drive of me.

I wouldn't step foot in one of those places without preparing myself against psychic attacks and spiritual attachments. No way.

Regarding paranormal experiences, one night my wife and I were going to dinner while we were dating. On the way back to the car no one was around, and we heard a very loud and deep disembodied voice. I asked her if she heard it, she said yes. I heard it in my right ear. She was on my right. She heard it in her left ear. Frickin' strange.

When we bought our house, we would hear odd noises now and again. After our son was born, we would hear a female baby crying...We thought it was him, check the baby monitor, and he'd be sound asleep. I started researching some things and came across a guy who clears homes via distance-readings (call himself "The Ghost Guy" - think he's Canadian). He read our home and said we had multiple attachments left over from the previous owners, and a little baby girl attached to our son (which dropped my jaw hearing that - I never told him what we were experiencing). I had him "clear" our house, and we haven't heard the cries since.

Interesting stuff. On the subject of ghosts I have a theory they're a bit like data that's been erased from a hard drive. Remnants of their energy are left behind when the individual dies. So what most people refer to as spirits aren't really conscious beings, just sort of pre-programmed interactive things. On the other hand, astral entities and the like seem like they would be particularly malicious and conscious of what they do. But I've never run into anything like that in my life. I'd imagine most people who mess around with Ouija are really just opening a doorway for malicious entities, not necessarily humans who have passed away. Although I'm sure they mimic them.

I had an experience that might be classified as paranormal.

Back in 2006 or so I slept over at a friend's house in New Jersey. Her younger sister (16 at the time) was at her friend's house so myself and a second friend slept in the sister's room. I was on the bed with my glasses off and he was on the floor with his t-shirt over his face. He tells me to look in the air above his face because it suddenly felt cold; this was in the middle of the summer with 95-degree temperature and no AC or breeze in the room. I look above him without glasses on and see a blurry, electric blue circular mass with circles for eyes and mouth hovering above him. It moved in circles like a spirograph and floated towards and eventually through the door.

The next day I tell my friend about it and she shows me a photograph with a blue whoosh that she says she didn't know where it came from. The sister also came home that day and I told her about the happening in her room; she then proceeds to take me downstairs to the basement and show me a carving on the wall that was spackled over before the family moved in twenty years or so before then. The carving matched the face.

Yeah I'd say that's pretty paranormal haha. Did you find out anything more about this thing? Definitely seems like a strange entity.

I've had tons of paranormal experiences, which all lessened as I became more rational and left certain beliefs...

Having said that I'll tell you guys about one:

I was asleep and woke up. I wasn't fully awake and very tired. I had this tingling sensation and felt very heavy on my bed. I closed my eyes and felt like I was sinking into my bed when suddenly I heard voices. It was a raspy voice, typical "evil" voice. Anyhow, I saw a skull in my mind's eye and it looked like it was a burning ember, like a coal, only more golden than red.

I felt a hand grab my neck and pull me down at which point I freaked out and jumped out of bed, turned on the lights and tried to calm down.

Eventually I went to sleep and everything was fine.

At the time, I thought it was supernatural, but my current belief is that it was hypnagogic hallucinations that occur before sleep, fueled by unconscious fears which were fueled by certain faulty beliefs.

Yes, have more then one experience with this stuff.
Have been dabbling in the occult for some years in the past, eventually broke away from it, including an tattoo ( is still have on my wrist, initiationairy stuff )
Had a library with several books around the darker stuff incoluding ritualistic stuff. Eventually gave it up and then shit broke loose. Weird bodily sensations, feelings of being watched, thoughts of having ***** up my life, being all loopy in mental ways, easily being triggered, having mental visions, the whole circus. left me with some serious anxiety issues.

Glad you walked away from the Dark Studies.

It's nice to meet people who have had other paranormal experiences. I grew up in a family that was heavily involved in the Mormon church, so when I started reporting strange events at a young age, I was told I was involved in the occult. My first experience involved me reporting to my mother that I had been bitten by a lion at the age of 5 years old, and when she looked at my back, there was a large bite mark, larger than a rat could have made. This was unusual considering I lived in Michigan where we only had small mice. This was the first of many experiences over the years, including an experience where I talked to a man named Billy who was attached to the property I grew up on. Do any of you have the experience of waking up at the same time every night? I seem to wake up around 3AM every single night, usually after having a nightmare, an episode of sleep paralysis, or even a waking dream. Two nights ago, I saw a man walk into my hotel room, and by the time I came back and looked at my alarm clock, it changed to 3AM.

I too have woken up at the same time in the night, but didn't think much of it. Been wondering recently if aliens do exist and that everything is usually caused by our minds in the physical world if ghosts have to do with anything it must be the souls that tansfer through lives

[aliciayost1235]

I also wonder if we communicate with spirit guides while we are asleep.....

Eventually paranormal experiences become routine experiences. Thats when the really freaky stuff starts to happen lol

[Life]

Lmao what does that mean

[aliciayost1235]

Yeah, that sounds familiar...

Eventually paranormal experiences become routine experiences. Thats when the really freaky stuff starts to happen lol

[Nox]

Lmao what does that mean

It can mean a few things.

It can mean you've entered psychosis, you're doing something wrong (which often leads into psychosis) or you're doing something right. When shit goes insane and you've done everything right and you come out the other end better than you began is beautifully unexplainable.
