Strangest experience ever! (paranormal?!)

Try mocking the spirt and constantly putting it down for not helping with bills or cleaning.

Like the Will Ferrell approach to dog raising.

Brand new construction - only 2 years old. No history of weird stuff.

Is it built on an Indian burial ground?

Is it built on an Indian burial ground?

Possible, but I doubt it. I think it's just old pasture land.

I had a similar experience once--and I SWEAR i was awake and not dreaming during it.

I woke up in the middle of the night, being held down by an arm to the side of my bed. I could only lift my head, couldn't sit up because of the arm holding me down. I didn't know who or what it was. Across the room (by the door to the bedroom) I saw a figure that looked like what you'd imagine Satan looking like. I couldn't see much, but I knew who it was, and could nto sit up. It was pretty freaky.

I was pretty upset--closed my eyes and tried to think it was a dream.

Obviously it was a dream, but dammit that seemed real.

Your experience is pretty hard core though.

Did this occur the weekend that the_bird slept over?

 

[MikeFlynn74]

You have no idea how much I wish I'd imbibed a bit (a lot) more!

Dude...sounds like you need to watch out for ol' Mr. Balloon Knot a little better, too!

Holy crap...

How many of you people have had these bad dreams/sleep paralysis? I'm canceling my order for my home brewing kit.

Not so fast my friend. You have to establish a causal effect. Are we out of our minds because we drink our own homebrew, or do we drink our own homebrew because we're out of our minds?

 

[Sir Humpsalot]

YES!!! DEFINITELY!!!!!

Sweet! There's a hop shortage anyway. More for me!

Ah, well, in that case I can testify that it's probably the latter.

I'll brew the haunted hefeweizen if you brew the apparitional ale.

I don't believe in spirits/poltergeist like that, but I do believe in demonic possession. Only because it's in the Bible several times. I have experienced a couple of miracles though...

(This is a true story, when I was young and dumb...)
I was riding a motorcycle down a mountain road at about 115 MPH. The road was curvy, with a mountain side on my right and a 400' drop to a river on my left. I saw a sign that said curve ahead...15 MPH (I think the speed limit was 45 MPH even though this was way out in the country) So I slowed down to about 45, thinking that a motorcycle could take a corner at 45 if a car could take it at 15. The road made a little bend to the right and I thought, "That was it! That's what they made me slow down for! That was nothing!" So I gassed the bike, and I'm guessing I was back up to about 70 MPH. Then I saw the corner that the sign was talking about. It was damn near a 90° turn. I immediately squeeze my front brake as hard as I dared, and locked up my back brake, committing to stopping in a straight line, as there was no way I could make that corner at the speed I was going.

I should stop here and explain a couple things about motorcycles...They say that if you lock your back brake, to keep it locked until you stop. They also say if you lock your front brake, to immediately release it, because a locked up front brake WILL ALWAYS result in a high-side, which is what it is called when the motorcycle flips to the outside of the corner, landing on top of you. Either way, motorcycles don't turn AT ALL with either brake locked up.

When I had crossed the yellow line, heading straight for the guard rail I realized that I wasn't going to stop (or even get close to stopping) before I hit the guard rail. So I locked my front brake, hoping to slow the bike down before I hit the rail. I was planning on hooking my arms under the handlebars before I hit, in hopes that I would bounce down the hillside. This would have been much better than flying off the bike for 40 or 50 feet then dropping the entire 400 feet straight down to the river.

At the last second, just before my front wheel hit the guard rail, my back tire washed out and the bike turned 90° to the right. Somehow at that moment I had the impulse to release both brakes. The bike rolled out of the turn perfectly, with no help from me.

Anyone that rides, knows that motorcycles just don't act like this. I KNOW that God reached his hand down and turned that bike for me.

It was several years after that before I accepted Christ as my Saviour, but I always knew that I wasn't the one that turned that bike and saved my life. So I do defiantly believe in God's supernatural abilities, and I believe in demonic possession because the Bibles (God's word) says it's true. But I never saw a poltergeist in the bible.

Easy man. Don't $hit all over someone's beliefs just because they don't match your own, especially when they are kind and well intended.

Whoa, easy man yourself. Not one more peep out of me on this one.

 

[RICLARK]

You should check out ww.Coasttocoastam.com if you have never listened to this before its a late night Radio show thats on and it only talks about the paranormal, The host George Norry has a lot of greats guests and a few latley have been talking about dreams and sleep paralysis Im sure that site will have some info if your interested.

I got really drunk on guinness one night and went to bed. I woke up around 3 am to my wife saying "Chris, what are you doing?!." I realized I was standing up pissing on the rug.

That was kind of wierd.


... in all seriousness. That story freaked me out and gave me crazy chill bumps. I definintely believe there is energy in one form or another left over from humans after they die and some may be more restless than others.

EDIT: Oh yea, my wife had the arm dream thing as well. Her first night in the barracks in Germany she had a very vivid dream of an arm holding her down, she woke up to her own arm squeezing her very tightly.

Explanation:

1. Coldness - sweating.
2. Covers - leftover yeast in your gut rotted some food resulting in a beer fart that blew the covers off the bed.
3. Wife - also blew her outta the bed.

My mom died almost 2 months ago.. She was cremated and is currently in my 2nd bedroom, waiting on a trip to Montauk Point, NY in the spring...
My wife SWEARS she can hear my mom talking to her sometimes and it freaks her out.

Me? I don't believe in that hoopla. However, last year we were looking into moving and were doing the house hunting thing.. At one house, we climbed stairs into an attic to take a look at the area, but soon as I hit the attic floor, I had a panic attack. I never have panic attacks. I turned and got the hell out of Dodge with the quickness.
When I got back downstairs, the seller (previous owners daughter) told us that her mother died in the attic, putting boxes away. My wife thinks the woman saw my face and decided to come clean..
Don't know if it was just a coincidence, but it was enough for me to walk my ass out of that house right away.

lol- I got back from Kuwait and one night out with SWMBO we got home hammered and apparently I woke up later that night and picked a fight with the dresser. I pulled the entire theing over, yelled at it for a min and then crawled back into bed like nothing happened.

Dont remember a thing

My wife has always felt things that are unexplainable. Her most recent is the house we live at has a nice Rose garden out back and pretty nice grounds in general. The older couple that lived here before us took very good care of the place. Anyway the man had passed away and the wife couldn't keep so that is how we ended up getting the house. My wife was out back one day trimming the roses back and when she stepped back to look at her work, she swore it felt like someone put their arm around her and patted her on the shoulder. Kinda like a grandfather would do. We think it was the old guy thanking her for taking care of the Roses and cared for so well.

 

[TxBrew]

I like how everyone mentions their wife believing.

A few weeks ago we were sleeping, deep sleepers. At around 4:00AM we both sat up in bed because this very loud siren went off. It was a weird noise though, it sounded like a '40s, '50s police siren. It sounded like it came from inside our bedroom and stopped as soon as we sat up. I checked the room and house, nada. Tried to find something to duplicate the noise, nada. My wife got freaked out and couldn't get back to bed, I went right back to sleep.

Most of the ghost stories I hear involve perfect settings for the imagination to run wild.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I don't know. If a ghost could manifest shoving someone why wouldn't they shove something to form a word or attempt to make contact more logically. Most of the ghost stories I hear involve perfect settings for the imagination to run wild.

I've often wondered the same thing - if it's possible to manipulate the physical world, why wouldn't a "ghost" manipulate it in such a way as to send a clear message?

Though this thread may seem a bit to the contrary, I'm very skeptical of the supernatural and paranormal. My thoughts tend to be very logical and organized, and I always look for a rational explanation for everything. At the same time, I try to keep an open mind, and it's been very interesting to see differing reactions.

Thanks, everyone for all of your thoughts...and keep them coming!

Sounds dumb but family has a history of it. When my mother was a teenager her Grandmother would hold seances (sp?) and weird stuff used to go on in that house. My mom remembers waking up on a number of occasions when staying there with all this commotion in the attic in the middle of then night and they'd call the police but no one would be up there among various other stories. This was in Houston near Rice Univ. My great-grandmother also claimed to have saw my grandfather after he passed, stuff like that.

My last apartment in college was built in the 70s with all the original fixtures. A few times I'd come home and there would be water all over the bathroom but no sinks or anything would be on (this was probably just crappy plumbing in the apartment above me). Also, many, many times I would wake up because I felt someone tapping me on the top of the head while I was sleeping/napping.

I probably just come from a superstitious family (or we have history of undiagnosed dementia heh) but it's kinda odd after all these years. Plus they say it happens more if you open yourself up to it which I guess my great-grandmother did back when.

Ok, when my wife and I were living in Stanton, CA we both felt strange vibes but kept them away from each other because of the great deal we got on the rental townhouse and how we both loved it.

We ended up living there for 4 1/2 years, but towards the end started discussing the feeling we both felt that "something" was there. She had many encounters where she would be sleeping (in the day) and a "dark figure" would be looming over her and she could not get up or move. She felt scared, but not overly threatened.

We both heard "something" rumaging through the kitchen cabinets at night and both felt as if someone was watching us the entire time we lived there, but never mentioned it to each other.

When her parents visited, they brought their dogs and one would sit and stare at the stair landing, as if looking at something or someone.

One night, we had the same, or similar experience as you, and I felt like someone or something was coming down on me and I rolled over and pushed her off the bed; both of us ending up on the floor. I eventually turned on a light and both of us came to, but it was like someone was in the room. Of course, no one was really there.

Both of us were sober and had nothing to drink that night. We eventually moved out of state and didn't stick around long enough to truly investigate.

There's alot to be said of gut feelings. Perhaps there's more here than meets the eye?
