Do You Believe In Paranormal Phenomena?

Question

Are you ready for spooky horror stories? Happy reading, as much fun as it can be...

1. "When we looked back, we saw the light switch on and off."
One evening, we were sitting as a family and watching TV. All of a sudden, my German shepherd and terrier dogs pricked their ears and looked into the corridor behind us. The hallway light was off. I looked around the hallway but saw nothing. Even after 5 minutes, the dogs were still staring at the corridor and began to growl. My wife and I looked back and saw that the light switch had turned on and off. Both the dogs and we went crazy.'

It's the same scenario again."
A few weeks later. Same scenario again. The lights are off and we are watching a movie. My dog loves to play with balls and there are balls all over the house. My dog looked down the hall this time and wagged his tail. I swear a ball came down the aisle towards the dog. We all turned pale.'

2. "After this incident, the nightmares are over."
My mother-in-law has been having nightmares for a few weeks now, and in every nightmare she sees the house burning while we're all inside. When we woke up one morning, we smelled smoke from somewhere in the house. We noticed that the smoke was coming from the garage.

We saw the smoke coming from the fluorescent in the rafters. Probably burned out because the light was on all night. We all thought that a spirit was watching and protecting us. After this incident, my mother-in-law's nightmares came to an end.'

3. "Person, that's not you!"
We were having a heated conversation with a person I used to be close to. The conversation eventually turned into a passive-aggressive discussion. Then he got in the car and left. It came back when I got home. But his tone and appearance were different. He started saying things he would never say. I said, 'Person, that's not you!' I said. What he said to me was: 'You think I'm Person?'

The third house I lived in was not haunted.

I had lived there for 5 years and nothing out of the ordinary had ever happened.

I didn’t take the majority of supernatural activity seriously, as such, I used a ouija board very often as a party trick for sleepovers.

One night, my sister had a huge sleepover and invited at least 8 other girls to stay the night. As usual, they all begged me to bring the ouija board downstairs.

I did, and same as always, nothing happened…

Until suddenly the board began to vibrate as if it had a motor in it. One by one all of the girls let go and I was left holding it alone. It was still vibrating…none of them had been responsible for this.

I slowly opened my eyed, everything was blurry and seemed to be swaying. All I could hear was a loud ringing in my ears and I felt weak.

My vision slowly came into focus. I was face-down on the floor.

I lifted my head and saw all of the girls huddled in the corner of the room far away from me. Some were crying.

I said “what happened?”

One of the girls managed to stutter “who is darreth?”

Fuck….

Through meditation, I was able to win that struggle though it did manage to render me unconscious two more times.

A sudden rush of cold left my body and immediately there was banging on the walls, items being knocked off of the tables and shelves and the lights began to flicker.

All of the girls began to cry and scream. All of them called their parents and were picked up immediately.

From that day on, the poltergeist activity was constant.

This fascinated me despite how terrifying it was, but my mother and sister did not share my fascination and were only terrified.

After about two weeks of constantly having items thrown across the room, doors opening and slamming shut and electronics behaving strangely, I had an amazing realization.

There was a pattern in this activity.

The entity would always do something minor, like change the channel on the television, or slide someone’s phone onto their lap.

When this small action was met with fear, it responded with anger and did something violent like throw something against the wall.

It was displaying frustration.

I gathered my courage that night and sat in the living room alone at about 3am.

I said “One knock for yes, two for no. Do you want to talk?”

Immediately there was a loud knock on the wall right beside my head…everything in my being told me to run, but I fought it and stayed still.

I asked “Do you want to hurt us?”

Two knocks. No.

I asked “Is it my fault you’re stuck here?”

One knock. Yes.

I asked “Are you angry at me?”

Two knocks. No.

Lastly, I asked “Do you know how I can help you go back?”

Two knocks. No.

I apologized for what I had done. I truly had no idea that stupid party toy could actually work…

After that, the entity’s behavior changed completely.

It became a prankster.

I found it’s new antics delightful, but my mom and sister were still afraid of it.

Until one night all of us were awoken by a commotion in the kitchen. It sounded like someone had broken in and was rummaging through all of the cabinets.

I ran downstairs only to find all of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were opening and slamming on their own.

They all closed at once and there was silence for a minute as my mother caught up to me.

The light above the stove began to turn on and off rapidly.

As I approached, I realized that someone had left the gas on. I turned it off, said “thank you”, opened the windows and turned to my mother.

Awestruck, she said “did…. did it just save us from carbon monoxide poisoning?”

For two years after that, everyone in the house had gotten used to the unseen guest and it didn’t really phase any of us anymore.

When I was 18, my mother and I had a heated argument which resulted in her kicking me out of the house.

After not speaking to her at all for 3 months, she randomly contacted me and was insistent that I come visit for dinner.

She met me outside of the house.

She looked like hell…. as if she hadn’t slept since I had last seen her.

I asked her what was wrong and she tried to say it was nothing. I pressed further and finally she said “darreth won’t let me live anymore.”

She went on to explain that beginning on the night she kicked me out, the activity in the house had become more violent than it ever was before.

It would open and slam her door as she tried to sleep.

It would toss her food onto the floor when she tried to eat.

It would turn the television off if she tried to watch it.

My sister was so afraid that she had gone to live with a friend.

I was a little saddened by the fact that my mother had invited me over to play ghostbusters rather than discuss what had happened between us…but I couldn’t let this continue.

I entered the house and immediately the television turned on and began flipping channels.

I said “follow me, we need to talk” and walked up to what used to be my room.

I sat on the bed and told it that I appreciated how it stuck up for me, but that it shouldn’t be punishing my family for what happened. I asked it to please take it easy on them from now on.

The lights turned off and back on. I assume this meant “ok”.

After that, the activity almost completely stopped.

Three years later, my mother sold that house.

I happened to be walking past one day and wound up laughing like a maniac when I noticed that the new owners were speaking to a priest. I shouted “priests only piss it off!”

Within less than 2 years, that family abandoned that house.

I hope to purchase it myself one day.

After living with what felt like magic happening all the time, it’s very dull being able to sit at home alone with absolutely 0 threat of a remote striking me in the head.

Yes, I believe in the paranormal. I believe in God, so therefore I believe in the afterlife, spirits etc. I do blame Hollywood and people for faking paranormal activity, nowadays people think it's all fake cause of effects , camera work, or that you have mental problems when it's really a personal experience you need to go through yourself. I haven't seen or gone through to many paranormal events, I've never seen an entity and thankfully no demons either. I assume God/Jesus us looking out for me.

I have an aunt twho's not all there. I used to be sent to stay with her and her family from to time and there was often weird occurrences and noises in her home. My uncle said it was to do with something that happened when they were younger staying in an old house, disturbing a hidden painting in an old attic that grew across the room.

I remember waking up to find an old woman sitting on my chest, I couldn't move and the room was freezing. I couldn't breathe and it felt like my chest was being crushed. You'd see reflections in the mirrors of people that were not you. High pitched screams in the night but nobody there when yiu investigate.

Then there were the shadow men who always seemed to be present even when we left the house. A big thing that happened was another cousin who came to stay with us well we all on a spur of the moment decided to keep her out of the kitchen by blocking the door so she couldn't, she started screaming terrified and we opened the door to let her back in but she was gone and the backdoor was locked still from the jnside, a moment later we all saw her walk out of the kitchen cupboard asking what was going on, there was no way she could have sneaked past us and the front and back doors were locked as were the windows. We never figured it out but this cousin to this day doesn't know what we were talking about but I've seen a few times while up at my other aunts house you see my cousin walk past and then walk past again from the same direction like dejavu.

My father always said it was my aunt not the house that she attracted all this to her.

no i don't. but if you believe in it, i think you tend to look at reality through that lense more. so like if you believe in paranormal stuff, you'll find something that you identify as that. but that doesn't mean that there objectively is paranormal stuff. i think there's not. to me, reality is what it is, whether we can explain it or not. there's normal stuff and there's more rare things that don't happen a lot or stuff we straight up don't understand. i don't really know what "paranormal" is even supposed to be to be honest.

because there's many things we can't explain. how does one of the things we can't explain become "paranormal"?

purplepoppy · Answer

No, I don't follow how so many people can claim to have a paranormal experience yet there's never any proof. All I see are blurred photos that could be anything or stuff that's obviously faked. The fact I can't tell what that blob is doesn't prove its a ghost. If stuff was happening at the level you see on YouTube then there would have been proof decades ago.

MiseriaCantareAFI · Answer

While I don't believe that things like "marchosias" actually exist (demons), im a little more open minded about the ghosts of dead people.

I'm still likely not going to believe in it but, I'm more likely to be open minded about PEOPLE who have died, not demons, existing

dustybiker · Answer

To not believe would be underestimating the universe only as we know it. And there is so much more we don’t know.

Havthrills · Answer

Of course I believe. I saw a couple ghosts where I used to work. I wasn't the only one too. One would mess with a guy I was working with. It was hilarious.
