Have You Ever Experienced Paranormal Activity?

Anonymous032819 — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 20:29:50 GMT

I'm not talking about actively seeking out ghosts and spirits, but rather you are just going about your day as normal, when a ghost or spirit decides to make its presence known.

In my old apartment, I did, at least three times.

There were times when I would be sleeping, and I would hear three knocks on my front door. I would get up to go answer the door, and there would be nobody there.

Another time was, I was sitting on the side of my bed getting dressed, and a flashlight that I had laying on my dresser next to my bed came on all by itself.

I asked the spirit if it could turn the flashlight off.

Less than 10 seconds later, the flashlight went off, again all by itself.

I thanked the ghost for doing that, and said, "Hello" to it.

I never got creeped out or scared.

Again, I never sought out these experiences, they just happened.

Here, where I live now, nothing.

So, have you ever experienced any sort of paranormal activity?

Yes. But it is more being aware of what is around me.

yes in a way.

this happened many years ago.

i was home for my dad's funeral. my mom flew back to my sister's house out east. I stayed in my parents house for a few days to catch up with some friends. Anyway, one night while I was trying to sleep the house became very eerily quiet and something just didn't seem right. I got up and checked the front door and windows and such nothing was out of order. when I went back to bed which was in the room where my dad watched t.v. (was using a pull out sofa bed) he walked in sat in his chair and began to watch t.v.. was it my mind playing tricks on me most likely yes. I still remember this quite clearly.

First, I don't believe in ghosts or spirits but I had something very strange happenn.

Shortly before he died, my son lost one of my two garage door openers. We search the house thoroughly and never found it.

My house has an attached garage, accessed by a door in the kitchen. Inside there are two entrances to the kitchen and at that time each had a high gate to keep the digs out of the kitchen.

I went out to dinner one evening and when I came home, I entered through the garage door. Everything was in order, Gates securely closed, but in the middle of the kitchen floor was my garage door opener. How it got there remains a mystery to this day. It had not been touched by the dogs, was neat and clean. Nobody else had access to my house.

The day after my sisters funeral my sewing machine magically managed to fling itself off the cabinet. It was sitting too far back on the top of the cabinet for the cat to have done it trying to look out the window.

Several times after my dad had passed away, the smell of Ben Gay which he used when he was alive,would suddenly be in the air in the room , and we never used any nor did we own any.

A young man whom we had not met before,who had Down’s syndrome, came with our Pastor to visit us one evening. Suddenly out of the clear blue and completely unrelated to the conversation, said there was a man in the room who said he was my dad

Other unexplained things continued to happen over the years that made me think my dad was letting me know he was close by and watching over me.

@Azcowgirl my dad did a lot of woodworking in his garage and after he passed away I would smell the saw dust.

On what would have been my late mother's 100th birthday........the living room wall shook.....and there was a loud grating noise.....and then a CRASH.

When I finally got up the nerve to go take a look........the closet rod in the back bedroom had collapsed......and everything was in a pile on the floor.

Coincidence?

Jimmy Carter also did. He saw a UFO and called it a very sober moment and people laughed ,because they thought he was alluding to drink

What he actually meant was ,it was a somber moment. I don't think Jimmy was a liar, or given to flights of fancy.

Generally I do not believe in the paranormal but I once had a dream that I was assisting a relative move from on from death to wherever he was supposed to go. The dream was very vivid and I had no idea that he had died two days earlier. He had not been ill. There was no reason that the dream would have been tweaked in my mind.

He seemed confused and lost at his home. The sky was an odd color, there was no breeze or sound, no people, animals or birds. I brought him from inside to his driveway and had him sit on a chair with wheels. I gave him a slight push and the chair took him away to the place he needed to be. He couldn't tell me what had transpired or what he needed, it was as if I was following instinct. Admittedly a goofy dream with the chair but the meaning of it had me shaken when I'd learned he had died. I don't make more of it than what it was: a very interesting dream that may or may not have been something deeper.

I believe words and thoughts have power. I know there's a massive weight of knowledge that I'll never know so I try to live within the paramaters of known science and reject all sorts of magical thinking.

Many years ago, I managed a bed and breakfast which was a large home that served as a hospital during the civil war. One late November night, I realized the first guest of the week was arriving early in the morning, so I wanted to take fresh linens to their room to get it set up, so I wouldn’t have to fuss in the morning. This was a suite that had a living room with a kitchenette attached by a long hallway to the bedroom and bathroom. I went upstairs, entered through the door, arms full of sheets and towels, and flipped the light switch which turned on the overhead light. I took about 3 steps toward the hallway, and the overhead light flickered and went out. Luckily there was moonlight coming through the windows, so I was able to maneuver my way to the hallway and the light switch for the overhead light in the hallway. I flipped the switch, started to walk down the hallway toward the bedroom door, and the overhead light flickered and went out. No problem, it’s a straight line down the hallway to the bedroom door, so even though it was darker, it was easy to get to the closed bedroom door. I managed to hold on to the stack of linens while fumbling for the door handle. I pushed the door open and was immediately hit with a whoosh of cold air. I was simultaneously chilled and annoyed because I couldn’t believe the maid would turn the thermostat down so low in the room. As I turned to my left to reach for the light switch, my eyes scanned the room from right to left until they fell upon the bed, barely illuminated by the moonlight coming through the crack in the drapes on the window. There, on the bed, was the dark figure of a man lying flat on his back. I gasped, froze for a few seconds in shock, and after a few seconds more of complete silence, the figure on the bed abruptly sat straight up, turned its head, and looked directly at me. I was unable to scream. I dropped the linens, tuned and ran down the halllway, across the living room and toward the door. I couldn’t look back, but I knew he was following me. I could feel it. I exploded out the door to the corridor, sprinting to the staircase which would lead me down to my private residence on the first floor on the opposite side of the house. I held tight to the bannister while charging down the stairs, because I could still feel him behind me, and I knew he was going to push me down the stairs. I made it to the first floor and sprinted to my door which I slammed and locked behind me. I slid down the door, leaning all my weight on it, and burst into tears. I cried out “leave me alone” repeatedly in a sound akin to a wounded animal. I didn’t blink or move from that spot for 8 hours until I heard the cook arriving in the morning. He made the beds that day, and I was gone the next.

I don’t think so.

If anything paranormal does come around me keep your hands off my Doritos!

I had a weird experience. I was near our bedroom closet with bi-fold doors when one of them fell off, nearly hitting me. Not long after, a close family member died. Months later another bi-fold door (in a different room) fell off, nearly hitting me again. Another close family member died. We’ve lived in this house for nearly 40 years and never had a closet door just fall off for no reason. Those were the only two times it happened. I began to take notice when things fell, wondering if it meant someone would die.

Is there a reason you think your mother wanted that to happen?
