Have you ever had a paranormal experience?

Question

TheorionMage · Accepted Answer

A great many, beginning with firsthand experience of a Sentience, at age 12 at 2am in our family home in Pgh. We had only moved into this new home in the last 90 days accompanied by my maternal grandparents. My maternal grandmother had lost a son LONG before my mother married. The deceased son, Bobbie was beloved and VERY close to both my mother and her mother.

Restless, I awoke sleeping with my bedroom door open, I could see a amorphous pale translucent-like mist approx. 6 ft high and 18 inches wide as it exited through my parent's closed bedroom door and proceeded down the hall toward my maternal grandparent's closed bedroom door. It paused just outside of my own bedroom's entryway and I sensed no malice, more a curiosity then it proceeded soundlessly through their closed bedroom door. I was left with the impression that 'Bobbie' my deceased Uncle, wanted to assure both my mother and his mother, that he was aware of their transit to a new home and that he continued to keep a caring watch over them.

Conjoined with my paternal Grandfather's well-intentioned 'charmed' occult token gifted me in confidence at age seven, these experiences launched over sixty years relentless dogged research to the underlying metaphysical underpinnings of Western Society's Hollywood embellishments of the perceptions of Witches, Sorcery, Non-Corporeal Sentience's, Satanism, Vampirism, directed Bioelectromagnetic life force, Tesla's Zenneck Waves, Dr. Reich's Orgone and the Caribbean 'Undead'.
Among certain factions, I am accorded the equivalence of ordained Clergy of significant life experience and LEGALLY recognized AS a Catechist/Elder in most legal duties.

I feel more comfortable when I'm involved with questions about science, philosophy, etc. I did have an experience about 30 years ago that I have no rational explanation for. My wife and I were driving to Ramona high school in Riverside Calf. at about 6:00 P. M. to pick up her little sister from band practice. After we picked her up I preceded to exit the school parking lot. It was controlled by a traffic light, there was only one blind spot on my left, which was a rather tall hedgerow. I was in the left hand lane waiting for the light to turn green. As soon as it did, I was suddenly overwhelmed by this paralyzing sense of dread. I couldn't move. My wife and my sister in law were screaming at me to go. Suddenly, this carload of teenagers in a van ran the redlight, on the left were my blind spot was. No one said anything for a moment. Then my wife started crying. I was numb. When we got back to my in laws house, we told them what happened. My mother in law, who was very religious, told me that it was my guardian angel watching overbuys. I could never buy that. So, I tried to understand it from a scientific point of view.
What if the human mind is capable of receiving, and comprehending information outside of normal space and time? I realized immediately, that my scientific explanation was even more profounf, more unnerving than what my mother in law suggested. To this day I am still no closer to understanding what happened.

Yeah... So this is kind of a long story... I like urban exploring... I had my backpack on, I always take some supplies, some water, snacks and capri sun, a flashlight and a crowbat, dust mask, all that, I went all the way out to this little town called Oude Pekela, there's an old cardboard factory, my family has history with it and it was a big part of the town's development, now this place is a pretty classical town for Dutch standards and there's no real police presences, the area of the factory mostly had senior citizens inhabiting it so it was easy to sneak around and break into the back, it was dark and very dusty inside, it still had old filing cabinets and all that, I put on my mask and used the flashlight to cut through the dust some, I had been looking around for a while trying to read old paperwork but it was all waterlogged, I felt like something was off, shortly after I started noticing these strange directional disturbances in the dust, like something blew past, but the air in the place was warm and quite still other than the ambient wind keeping the dust up, it felt strange, I suddenly started getting these terrible cramps and decided to sit down somewhere, I'd been having cramps on and off for a while, where I sat down happened to be toilet that had to have been used by the personell in the past... Suddenly a ghost flew up my bum and laughed and told me I've been cursed by the arse ghost, safe to say I never went to the restroom in an abandoned cardboard factory again, I ran out of there and informed the police, they put it off as a prank but I know what happened that day...

Yes.. a lot!
Also get warnings something bad will happen. It’s a heavy feeling.

As a teen my friends and I were sitting at the end of the street talking. I had a feeling we needed to move. Kinda like a scratch that needed itching. I ignored it. Felt it a couple more times. After a while I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked at my friends. One was talking with his hands, two seats down. The guy next to me was resting on his elbows. Nobody touched me.
As I freaked about this (inwardly) I felt a full hand on my shoulder. I shot up to my feet making everyone stop and look at me.
I rubbed my shoulder and suggested we move. We all stood up and walked back into our street.
30 seconds later a truck drove up onto the sidewalk (where we were sitting) knocking a heavy wrought iron mailbox (which was right next to me) 70 feet down the hill. It bounced and rolled all the way to the bottom. He would have killed all of us.
Man gets out to walk down hill and retrieve the mailbox, “I dropped my cigarette in my lap, man.”
One of my friend’s said we had all just been sitting where his truck was parked on the sidewalk.
My friends never made the connection and I never said anything about it.
That is just one of many things that have happened to me. Pretty great to have warnings.

Not really a paranormal one but definitely a glitch in the matrix one. Had just bought a new loaf of bread with my groceries and brought it home and left it on my kitchen table where I always keep it. Let it be noted I was living entirely by myself at the time, and in the country where houses were many acres apart. The next day I came out to make a sandwich and found just the bag sitting there where I left it but not a crumb in it suddenly. I swiped it up in total shock and looked that thing over ever so closely for even so much as a pinhole to suggest maybe the pack rats in that house were to blame but absolutely nothing. The twist tie still on it and all. My mind was so blown I went as far as accusing family members of coming by and taking it or just anything I could come up with to explain how the whole loaf just vanished because it was just impossible that could have happened. That was only some years ago and the only experience of anything like that I've seen in my life. Never discovered what happened to it and I still don't believe it to this day

I'm on a paranormal board also, so yes. My home has a sketchy history. A drug dealer turned police informant was murdered in the storage room at some point between the 60 to 70's. I remember waking one night from a deep sleep in a daze as a child and I could almost swear that I saw what looked to an apparition walking down the hallway early one morning. I could see the head, shoulder and half of the lower torso but no more. I dismissed it and went back to sleep. But my late mother and older sister have both sworn to have felt a presence in the house and it made itself known once more in late '19.

My younger brother was felt so threatened by it he retreated to his SUV and sat in it for awhile. And I had the most difficult time falling asleep. And while he's also said he could feel something watching him at the end of his bed, I could sense it in the kitchen one night about a year and a half ago at least. I stopped dead in my tracks and while I didn't see anything, I knew exactly where it was. But whatever it maybe, I don't feel threatened by it anymore than anyone else has. He or she is just stuck in between the world of the living and the dead.

Yeah i worked at a place where accident vehichles were in held and a lot of people died in them you could see blood on the seats, bullet holes and signs of body matter inside though i never looked that far to see any smeared organs but people died in them. I worked there over night for 2 years straight with another person and everytime i checked the cars weird stuff i would notice.

Instance #1 Radio was not on in the vehicle at all each car is sandwiched in so nobody could flick it on, yeah it could be triggered but the way the music was playing the volume was low and then went high as if someone was really in there bumping music, and when it was morning the car music was completely off & i got the weirdest feeling from this encounter.

Instance #2 i was in the back area with my co-worker and someone we thought broke in and was throwing rocks at the vehichles well we looked all over and nobody was there but the rocks kept hitting the cars, we took off weirdest feeling ever once we saw and heard a rock hit a car and nobody else did it at first i thought he was messing with me and he thought i was messing with him nobody was there.

Instance #3 i was was looking at a vehichle getting the vin number in the back to verify the shift before did their job and i swear a rock hit me in the arm pretty hard, and then i heard a loud slam from another car far away and foot steps of gravel as if someone was there but nothing was there again i got a weird feeling but i just walked away creeped out.

Working there gave me sleep paralysis every time i slept almost everyday non stop when i quit because i got a better paying job it stopped their were a lot of questionable things that happen there at night. Im glad to. no longer be there

I am not sure if you'd say it was paranormal, but is something I will never forget!!
I was driving out of the parking lot after just seeing my doctor. I had a brand new expensive car I was driving. When I got to the part of the driveway where you look at both sides to see if it's safe to go; suddenly I heard a very clear voice that instructed me to "Stop at all green lights." I told myself that it was crazy. But, the first GREEN light I came to, I obeyed what the voice said and I stopped. Out of no where a station wagon full of men playing around in the car and not paying attention (like they were all drunk) ran their red light! If I hadn't listened to that voice I might have been killed - they were going very fast. To this day I don't know where the voice came from, but I heard it in my head loud and clear.

oh man yes, but was it a dream, or real?

as a kid laying in bed, I had this energy come over me and it was bright and felt it. It gave me a question, challenged me about whether I wanted my brothers toys or I wanted him to live. I said I wanted his toys:( I don't recall why I said that and I felt guilty immediately and wante to take it back but the thing was gone.

He died some time later, not sure how long, within months. He had issues his whole life and had surgery. Was this a preminition, a guilt trip.

I've had other things, notably, I got in my car to start it and felt something not right. got out of the car and inback of me was the neighbors daughter sitting there... she'd have been crushed for no way I'd see her through the window.

I believe energy is real, we give off emotional energy, there is energy beyond us, and we can sense and experience it. Energy matters! There ya go, it isn't BLM, it's energy that matters... EM.

Yeah. The night of dad's funeral, everyone else was in bed. It was just after midnight. I was in the kitchen making a couple hamburgers. The only sound to be heard was the sizzling of the meat about 2' away from me. All of a sudden, way off in the distance, I heard dad yell (jokingly, I think), "Get me the hell out of here!!". He said it twice!!
My ex-sister's had a lot of strange things happen because her house is haunted. My ex-fiance also saw a ghost in her house back in the `90's.

worldscolide · Answer

Before I tell this story, you must understand that I am not the guy that believes in that stuff. Not even slightly..

I have had exactly 1 incident of which I cannot explain. It was when I was 13 - 14.. I was in foster care, specifically a boys home (group home). It was incredibly old, a repurposed mental asylum. It had three levels, a basement, ground floor, and a residential living floor (top floor).

One day I was taking care of my laundry, which is in the basement. I was finished so I had my basket and started to head up stairs. As I was walking Doan the hallway, several of the lights started flickering and I heard what sounded like a chorus of incredibly old men shout "get out".. Suffice it to say I obliged.

The event never happened again though and I did my laundry weekly.

Where I work is haunted. A guy died in the front reception area when it used to be a bank. Shot in a robbery. And you will occasionally hear noises. Shoes on the floor. Clicking of a pen. All in areas where there is nobody. I think the best was when I happened to sneeze about five minutes later I heard this quiet achoo sound from close to the doors. I was working late and entirely alone.

Once I saw like this white figure, it wasn't a ghost, or an angle but it was like this apparition that I instinctively knew was watching over and protecting me. I was like 7 or 8 years old at the time.

TwistedSukuna · Answer

Used to live in a really old double wide trailer (80 y/o or so) my Grandad that I never met died in my brothers room and every night at around 2am I would hear banging on the walls, shouting etc. Different noise each night. I used to think my brother was just messing with me until one night I went in there to check forgetting that he was staying with a friend that night.

Nightroads · Answer

A few times, twice while with another person who saw them too. Three events by myself. One at an airshow and most of the people attending saw it as well as the announcer. But the airshow was a UFO scenario. Others were of the ghost or apparition verity.

LaFerrari · Answer

Several, back when I was working on biohazard janitorial services, once in awhile you would hear or see something you couldn’t explain. Though I wasn’t scared but sometimes I’d be curious and check around.

Whether it’s our minds playing tricks on us or if it’s the “other side” we can’t see, I find it interesting either way.

Dude_777 · Answer

Probably not. I just don't pay attention to such things, but i believe it happens to a certain extent, but not that certain as some people generally might portray it to be, that it occurs on regular basis. The people who regularly go through this are probably overthinking a lot about it, that triggers law of attraction in their mind and brings their attention towards all these subtle things, which they would not have noticed otherwise.

Blackcupcake · Answer

no... I don’t necessarily believe in it even tho I do get spooked out sometimes, so I might actually believe in it even tho I think that I don’t lmao

Sure. I woke up right at 3 am for straight week with intense feeling of dread, fear and extreme feeling that something is wrong and I should leave. I always noticed that the house is really cold and I left for a walk until I calmed down and could return home.

I haven't, though there are a couple lights in my house that I keep thinking is something like that. Of course I know it's just an old lamp and it's faulty but still, every time i see it go off and on, without anyone around it, it freaks me out
