Creepy/Weird stuff that has happened to you....

Mandi-chan · 01-02-2005, 09:48 AM

I'm a fan of the paranormal: Ghosts and stuff. A while ago I brought up a thread on Astral Projection and Out of Body Experiences, now I bring up the subject of Ghosts.

Has anyone here encountered one, or had an odd experience?

I have one!

A few years ago, I was in my room downstairs with my door closed. My sister was in the room next to mine, at the time it was the den, that door was also closed. I was annoyed with my mother and was kinda sulking in my room, when all of a sudden there was a loud knock on the den door. It did it two or three times, loud enough to be done by a guy...but both of my parents were upstairs.

The stairs are right next to my room and they're very creeky, you can't go up those stairs quietly no matter how hard you try (trust me, I've tried!). So no one had snuck down the stairs or up it during this time (even if they had they wouldn't have been able to do it fast enough!), plus my parents had heard it too. Immediatly after the loud knocks my sister yelled "yes?" and then opened the door to discover that no one was there!

Another time (not ghostly but still creepy to me) I had a horrifying dream; it frightened me so bad that I woke up, turned on all of the lights in my room, paced around the room for a while muttering to myself (don't remember about what), then went back to bed with the lights still on. I woke up a little later and, having forgot the whole thing, was suprised to see all the lights on!

Back with the ghost thing, I think my dog sees something in the house. Either that or he's lost it! (I love my baby, so I hope he's not nuts!

)
Anyway, there has been numerous times where I'll notice my dog staring at a wall or empty space in a room like there is something there. Hell, one time he was in my parents room staring at the chair next to their bed. Then he started wagging his tail! No one was in there!

Anyone here care to share thier creepy experiences?

H...I had a ceiling fan fling a blade into the wall 4 inches above my head. Does that count?

*Anarky* · 01-02-2005, 03:36 PM

Since when are ceiling fans made with knives/blades? I could use some of them...

*Weapon X* · 01-02-2005, 03:39 PM

Hearing voices in my room by myself when everybody else is asleep. Kinda like that "White Noise".

I meant the wooden fan blade itself came loose and went flying.

that's a phenomenon known as tinitus. It's when you've been exposed to too much loud noise.

Most of the things that happen to me are probably mind games, but...

1. I get a cold chill feeling at the top of my basement steps.
2. A lot of times when everyone is asleep, I think I hear my mom call my name, and when I reply back, I get nothing in return.
3. When I close my eyes and listen to music, my mom uses the lights off and on technique to get my attention so I can take my headphones off or turn down the music. Well, at night, sometimes when my eyes are closed, I think I see the lights being turned off and on. When I go to respond, I get no reply. Really odd.

**Kali** · 01-02-2005, 04:26 PM

I’ve had a few strange experiences with Ouija boards in my days.

I just deal with these things when they happen.

The most recent was the changing water temperature in the shower. Not too odd, given the plumbing of our home, but the lit candles in the room went out at the same moment.

And of course there are cold spots where it should be warm, and unexplained noises. But none of these things are more than temporary annoyances and rarely happen more than once.

And if you ask my parents, they'll tell you that there are spots in our house where I become invisible. Literally. Scares the daylights out of them to suddenly see me in a place they've been watching for five minutes only to hear that I've been there the entire time.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-02-2005, 04:34 PM

I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid. One time I'm told I went into our garage, opened the door then got on my bike and started to ride off. God only knows what would have happened if my dad hadn't ran after me and dragged me back inside. That's weird, I guess.

*Brodie* · 01-02-2005, 08:46 PM

When I saw this, and Matt had replied, I assumed he posted the weird-ass Ebay thing with the haunted box, or whatever.

**Jo Dawn** · 01-02-2005, 09:23 PM

We have lots of weird stuff happen here.

First off, we got my aunt's clock when she died. A big grandfather clock. That thing wouldn't chime for ANYthing. We gt it fixed multiple times; still didn't work. One day, my brother says that he misses my aunt in the room whith the clock, and, a few minutes later... it started chiming.

Also, after she died, the first family get together after... there was a toy that only on by motion-activated, you know? Before we sang happy birthday, it went off a few times, like someone was walking past it a few times.

There have been many times when I've had other experieces. I've had my hair pulled when crouching down, only to turn and see that there was no one in the room with me. I've been woken up by someone pulling my big toe (in the living room) only to see that no one was there then, either.

...Funny, most of the stuff DID happen in the living room. Hmm...

At my one grandma's house, they've had a ghost there. A man.They talk about seeing him walking around a lot. The story I remember best is when they said he went running past the living room, and down the stairs to the basement. Heh.

I know that there are more, but I need to think of them. This is a very interesting thread!!

Mandi-chan · 01-03-2005, 07:37 PM

My neighbor down the street says that he's got a few ghosts in his place. One man in his barn, a woman who walks down the stairs at night, and a couple of ghosts that look into the hall window at night. They sound creepy...

Brinatello · 01-04-2005, 03:10 AM

One experience I had was in London at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. My great aunt and I were treated to a wonderful dinner as part of the package deal when she purchased tickets to "The Phantom of the Opera." It was while at this hotel that I started to get really sick. I was much too excited to eat, and I kept slinking off to the ladies room in hopes of getting better. I was by myself while in there, and as I rested my head on the closed toilet lid, I swear I heard the sound of one of the other stalls unlocking! I lifted my head to listen for any movement, but the next sound was a squeak from the main door swinging open by itself! I got out of the stall and looked all around. The room was dead silent and empty. I started to head out the door and ran into a woman, yelping as I collided with her!

My sister had a real eerie experience while traveling with our great aunt again. Well, the way it worked was when we turned 13, we got to choose anywhere in the world we could go with her. My sister chose Hawaii in 1989 and I chose London in 1992! So, getting back to my sister's experience, it happened while she was on her cruise ship. Our great aunt left her in the room to go play Bridge and she recalled they were located quite a distance from other occupants on board. Our great aunt said she'd leave the key with my sister and knock when she returned. About an hour or so later, my sister heard three, faint raps on the door. Thinking it was her, she got up and opened the door, only to get blasted by a cold wind! She looked down the dark corridor both ways and saw no one! Oh, and by the way, the cruise ship was traveling through Pearl Harbor when this happened!

My aunt (or mom's sister) had some weird stuff happen to her while living on Oahu. Her then husband, Todd, used to abuse her and my cousin and whatever presence was in the house, it did not like him! It used to hide things from him, but then of course, he'd blame my aunt and she'd get an earful of it. One night, he and my aunt were downstairs asleep and my cousin (just a newborn at the time) was upstairs in his room. A little music box played on his dresser to keep him quiet until it finally ran down. Well, this made my cousin start to cry and his parents looked at each other going like, "You get up," "No, it's your turn!" "I don't want to get up!" Neither of them had to get up, nor did they want to. Before long, they both heard the sound of footsteps going up the stairs. Not natural ones, but more like, step, slide, step, slide and then they heard the music box turn on by itself! Later on in our own house, my cousin had to tell us this while in the dark and my sister and I fled the room. Good times, good times.

*Voltron* · 01-04-2005, 03:43 AM

OH! This is my hobby! I love looking at this type of stuff!

My friends and I are going to go out on a little expedition to get some EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon). We just got a hold of a digital voice recorder, and we'll lug around a good old fashioned tape recorder to compare.

When it comes to ghosts though and the paranormal, you need to be very careful before jumping to conclusions. For example, Ai's mom calls him at odd hours, and he sees lights flickering on and off. These are just the mind playing tricks which is often the case in hauntings.

Jo Dawn seems to be describing a classic case of spiritual attachment. This occurs when the deceased haunt a certain object like a piece of furniture, a picture, even a car. If you get rid of the haunted item, the haunting usually ends with it.

I'm not saying that people are or aren't haunted; I'm just suggesting that things aren't always what they seem.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-04-2005, 03:58 AM

Going to go after some EVPs, eh? Are you going to try it out in a structure of some kind or just out in a cemetary?

*Spitfire* · 01-04-2005, 09:24 AM

Wow invisible that crazy crazy
Hmmm weird stuff weird stuff
Okay so theres this old story about this creepy house in the moutains and there was supposed to be a ghost in it. So me and my friends in a attempt to get people to shut up about it went up to the house. At night even just to further prove them wrong. They claimed at Midnight a women wearing a long white dress walked down the spiral staircase. We go to the house by car ride and got there around 11:55. We wait until Midnight and see nothing. One of my friends was scared some weirdo might be living there and he might attack us so we should leave. We turn around to leave and something grabs my friends shoulder. He lets out a big scream and turns around to see the ghost. I turned around to look and I swear I saw it to. I about pissed myself in the process. I had NEVER seen anything like that before. We all ran back to the car and left quickly. Needless to say we kept the story to ourselves for the most part but that was so damn creepy. And the even creepier thing is that we all gave the same description of her. I asked my friends seperatly just to make sure and they all said the same thing. Tall light skinned girl wearing a wedding dress. Gah! The thought of it still haunts me to this day

Brinatello · 01-04-2005, 03:48 PM

Oh, man, Spitfire, you should make a story out of that! Or just make a whole creepy story and include that incident with other weird stuff combined! I'd read them! My friends know I'm into the paranormal and have bought books for me. One TMNT gal, Roseangelo, sent me a book just called "Ghosts" and it's a wide collections of stories written by some famous writers. Some are really creepy and I stupidly find the time to read one or two always before going to bed!

Hey, does anyone here watch "Ghost Hunters" on Sci-Fi? It airs every Wednesday at 9 p.m. I think they've gone into repeats now, but I heard this upcoming Thursday, they're going to have a marathon of the series. I have my likes and dislikes for it. When they actually do paranormal stuff, it's really great, but there's the reality-type TV part where they're arguing amongst themselves and I can do without seeing that. I'm off this Thursday, so I might watch it...or not! Hehe...

White noise is also used in the Ganzfield experiment. It's where input from the outside world is reduced by placing halved ping-pong balls over the eyes and by masking external sounds (covering subject's ears with headphones and playing white noise). It's a state of mild sensory deprivation. White noise is also dead air, such as on a radio not picking up any stations. And now, hehe, they've made a movie out of it with Michael Keaton. It's looks really creepy! I want to go see it!

**Kali** · 01-04-2005, 03:58 PM

I haven't watched Ghost Hunters. I prefer Proof Postive, and especially Beyond Belief. I love Beyond Belief because it gets you involved, trying to guess which stories are real and which are made up. Really shows you how weird real life can be.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-04-2005, 06:56 PM

Ghost Hunters is friggin hilarious. I love the way they handle they're own evidence, constantly doubting everything they get.
