Can you feel the presence of a ghost? Why?

This is a VERY interesting subject, to me. There have been many scientific studies done on Extra Sensory Perception, which seems to be the ability used when sensing a spirit or haunting.

Michelle is right on the money when she says everyone can sense spirits to a certain extent.  A study funded by the CIA in the early 70's, run by Hal Puthoff and Ingo Swann, scientifically studied the ability of "remote viewing".  Though remote viewing was considered a failure, their scientific findings were legitimate.  Their study proved that virtually anyone can be trained to use and strengthen their ESP.  Many of their early studies were done with self proclaimed psychics. (Ingo Swann is thought to be a psychic, though he calls himself a "consciousness researcher".)  There are other researchers that have tried to make a connection between ESP and the "Fight or Flight" instinct.  I'll see if I can locate any online info regarding these studies for anyone who is interested in reading about it more extensively.

Hi Lycanthrope. Yes, the studies on "remote viewing," and the CIA-sponsored ESP/psychic spying program (called Stargate) are fascinating.  There is an organization located about 30 minutes from me called The Rhine Research Center.  This group has been studying human consciousness, parapsychology, and ESP for over 60 years now.  They have concluded that most people have some degree of ESP—and as you mentioned, it can be strengthened with practice and training.  Sure, if you find additional info. please feel free to post it.

I know I get the feeling of the presence of a ghost.  I feel cold, and I know someone is beside me.  I feel a type of dense energy as well.  Recently, a lot of bad things have happened to me.  My boyfriend and I have split up, and my best friend is in hospital with a mass in his brain.  I think someone is with me on this difficult time, or someone is trying to tell me that something is going to happen.

I get the feeling of a presence of a ghost when i am trying to get to sleep at night. It has happened twice to me now. The first time it grabbed my arm, and I was trying to tell my mum and dad what happened, but I lost my breath and my words wouldn't come out. It also happened to me last night and I got a cold tingling feeling all over my body, and even my jack russell dog started barking. And in my bedroom it felt ice cold, and I'm really scared of going in my room now.

I have had experiences over the years like someone calling my name and I'd turn around no one would be there.  This happened more than three times.  I had felt like some one was watching me but there was no one there.  When I went to sleep, my bed would start shaking, and at one time, the bed felt like some one was trying to climb on by their knees. It froze when I moved.  It stayed like that for ten seconds, then as if moving off, it went back up.  My door was locked, my window sealed shut.  I have a small room, so when I turned on my night stand light, I found I was completely alone.  I had saw shadows jump across the room.  I heard babies crying I'd go looking for where the cry came from and found no one there.  I had no toys that made noise.  I really kept toys in the house and once when I was in my sister's house at night time, I heard a little girl laughing.  I looked outside the window and found no one was there…I know I have never imagined these things and everywhere I moved there's always something following.

I am a ghost hunter and when you feel like someone or something is with you some people feel someone touch them.  I had a case when I felt someone touch me on the back. So if you've been haunted just talk to me on my website. Thx.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if this feeling has got to do with paranormal.  It happens at night — the last time it happened to me was about 10 years ago, and all of a sudden it happened two days ago again.  I woke up in the middle of the night and I could see the room and everything else in it.  I knew something was going on because I could feel something.  When I tried to wake my husband, my whole body was lame and I couldnt move, no matter how hard I tried.  When I tried to call my husband, no sound came out of my mouth.  I don't know long this whole feeling stayed, but it eventually went away.

Hi Belinda.  Don't worry — what you experienced is pretty normal.  It's called the "catatonic state" (or sleep paralysis), and I have experienced it twice myself.  This occurs shortly after waking, or just before falling asleep.  You cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and you only have minimal control over blinking and breathing.  It usually lasts for a couple of minutes/seconds, although to the person experiencing this, it can feel like a really long time.  You can find out more information here:

Hi.  Am a 22 year old female.  I lost my daughter a year ago on the 3rd July by stillbirth at 42wks and my son by miscarriage.  Then in November, I've also had a few friends and family deaths since.  Ever since I lost my 2nd baby.. I feel like i have somebody with me all the time even when am home alone like I am 6 out of 7 days of the week.. I get cold numbing feelings, shivers , goosebumps and just major tingely feelings all over, but the coldness is surreal it really does NUMB my whole body.  At night, I tend to feel someone with me, once I taught felt something touch my hand where I was holding the remote of my telly, and every night (could be just a breeze or enything) my door creaks open the slightest.  A couple of times, I was at a spritualist and she picked up on me sensing things at night and she said it was sprits that they tend to visit me nights when I am more relaxed.. I'd like to think all these strange feelings I have is my loved ones, especially even my beautiful little girl that's come to visit me.  Also when I am upset and badly crying, I ask my little girl to keep mummy strong and I automatically STOP crying.  It's freaking me out, if anybody can talk to me, I'd greatly appreciate it, as I think on top of my depression, maybe am just going completely crazy..

Appreciate much.

Pauline

Hi Pauline.  Very sorry to hear about your loss.  I know it can be tough to lose family & friends.  I do not think you are crazy, but I *do* think you should spend more time with other people.  It's not healthy to be alone 6 out of 7 days—especially since you're struggling with depression.  Make yourself a goal to get out of the house at least 3 times each week.  Talk to people, join a hobby group, meet someone for dinner/coffee, participate in a sports team.  Connecting with other people (even if we don't always feel like it) is healthy and very much needed. 

If you want to investigate the presence that is with you, I suggest EVP.  If it is a spirit (i.e. your daughter), you should be able to discover who it is through EVP.  Let us know how things go for you.

I was having a dream where there was someone outside my window.  I am then conscious that its just a dream and I am half awake and half asleep still.  So as I am keeping myself aware of what is going on, I hear like a "crumpling" of a paper bag which sounds real and I'm telling myself "it's all in my head."  By this time, I'm more awake than asleep and I feel that there were feet softly pressing on my bed around me—which had me just still and waiting for what would happen.  Suddenly like as if all in one motion, I felt this wavely current in my body—it didn't hurt or anything, it just felt like a a smooth entering of rythmic waves in my body for like a couple of seconds maybe 5-10.  It felt like I was in control and I could stop it if I wanted to.  So in my mind, I tell myself "enough."  And then I felt it end, and it was immediately followed by a cold shivery feeling and then all the hairs on my body stood straight up and I was feeling hella cold.

Around this time, I was relocating from my home in Los Angeles to a room for rent in San Francisco.  Earlier that day, I was having a headache, and it was a pretty stressful day to say the least.  So in the afternoon, I decided to do some jogging instead of smoke some marijuana as I used to do. (It was my second week of being sober from marijuana as well).  After I went for my jog, my headache kinda went away and I did some meditation and stretching before I went to sleep.  Then it all happened around 2:45 am.  Also, right after it happened, I felt like I was able to see my situation in a different light—I mean before I was feeling good about the house I was renting and the family I was staying with.  But after it happened, I started realizing that the house was always cold, the house might have been haunted.  And my energy levels were so drained the next day too.  I'm feeling better now, and starting to see things differently about my life and I'm living back in L.A. with my family—so—I think if it wasn't a ghostly spirit (which I think it was because of the feet on the bed), then maybe it was a self enlightening experience that helped me really see what has happening in my life and that me moving to S.F was never meant to be.  If anybody can let me know what's up with this, I'd appreciate it to the utmost…

Peace…

Hey Johnnyboy, you have an interesting situation on your hands.  I've read about a couple different sleep studies that have produced similar results to what you've described. There is a point between presleep and REM sleep where you could feel awake but STILL experience dreamlike sensations that SEEM real.  If you TRULY feel this was something paranormal, I would suggest you start asking family members if they've ever experienced anything similar.  There are a FEW cases of investigators and psychics believing they have a spirit "guide" attached to them.  Most don't know why or how this attachment has occurred but, some believe these spirits may have been connected to the family through several generations.  If you think this may be the situation you have, it is possible an older family member may have had an experience VERY similar to your own.

Thanks Lycanthrope for the feedback… As a follow up on all of this, I had to go back to SF to get the rest of my stuff and my mom talked to the lady I was staying with to arrange the schedule.. Anyways, the lady can hardly speak English and my mom is the only one who can communicate to her in their native language.  So as they were talking, conincidentally the old lady started saying she can communicate with spirits (no lie)…so that really tripped me out.  Aside from all of this, I am told that it is important to go to church and pray.  Because if not, the spirits feel comfortable inside one's body…. For real though, my parents be clowning me about "Casper the friendly ghost"–it sucks.

i agree with michelle.  please go out and try to be social, have some fun.  i doubt it is a spirit without more solid proof or evidence.  it might just be your depression.  you should have a doctor check that out.  also any depression medications can make you a little paranoid and make you sense or see things sometimes.  if you actually see something, or it gets worse please contact me at claycountyparanormalsociety@yahoo.com / or joshua.wheat@yahoo.com.  i hope everything gets better.

-god bless-

the message above is meant to pauline.  thanks.

Right On Josh W.  I appreciate your advice. –Thank you so much.

-God Bless-

I believe, and this is just my opinion I am no expert, people feel the presence of a ghost that has some association to them in a past life of yourself…and they are calling out to you and often I think it is associated with them speaking to you and touching you.  I get to accept I can understand them much more thoroughly than just chills and increased heart rate.

Hey I think I can sense a ghost, I had someone come to my house and question me.  She was a professional, I haven't got the results from her yet, I had almost all the things above.

Feeling a ghost is like when you reach your arm around back to feel the hair stand up on it.  It's a creepy electic feeling but cold, and your senses sorta go on alert cause it's not a natural feeling your brain can understand.  So you go in fear mode, cause your senses can't let you know what emotion to use to comprehend the energy, thats how I know.

@jonnyboy  A spirit awakening is very clear, real and honest.  It would not mess with your head.  The people who say they are helping you will confuse your head to feel what they think you should feel, not about what is meant for you to learn.  It's all by yourself, only it's your feelings, your body, your mind, you are in control of this energy.  Don't allow others to misread your energy, it could cause you to get depressed, cause you're not feeling what they tell you.  GOD sends angels to help you if you get too messed up with this.  It's okay, I've been there.

Pauline, your children would not come back, they are angels.  You want to feel some attachment to them I know, but God doesn't leave little children behind. Your mental awareness is letting you want a spirit to be with you, don't leave yourself open for a deep sadness, feel life, feel warmth, try helping at the local hospital, be there for other families who need your heart.  Going through a time like you have, your energy will grow, your heart will heal, your children would be proud of you using your heart for others.  – Tammy

I feel your guidance Tammy Weaver…Thank You very much.

I can see spirits when I walk by a graveyard about a mile from my house, and they sometimes yell things to me but I cannot understand them.

@Gary  Dont get too close, act like you don't see them.  Ghosts don't do that unless someone has been messing around in the graveyard breaking stuff.  Never follow an energy that's contained to one place, it could cause you unpleasent feelings, confusion, and if it's a bunch at 1 time it's of a bad energy, dont play into it.  Walk away, trust your feelings, you can't help them, they're dead.  Not you, keep on going.

Hopefully some one can tell me I haven't lost it…between the ages 11-22, I've off and on heard a soft voice just say my name..not lately, earlier when I was younger…I would turn around and nothing would be there.  Lately, things are alittle different…Within the past 2 years, I've had my tv turn on in the middle of the night a few times.  One night b4 my fiance and I went to sleep, I blew a candle out, and also licked my finger to make sure it was out..then woke up and it was lit in the middle of the night.

I don't feel "cold spots" but I do feel like im being watched, or something is around…I get very hot and wake up sweating…when i shouldnt be because it's cool in our home.

Does anyone have any input?… thanks.

This is the second or third time in a month or two that I've felt pressure and a slight tingling sensation on the middle of my back/shoulder.  It happens during the day when I'm working or just messing around the house.  No pain, just gentle pressure like a hand.  Am I losing it or is something there?  Thanks!

Hi Kim, don't feel like you're alone or "strange" in any way.  MANY cases of paranormal activity revolve around adolescent girls.  Nobody has come up with a solid theory as to why this happens, but many, many paranormal cases involve adolescent girls.  As for what is happening now?  A little research into any change that has happened RECENTLY in your life may give you some insight into why this is manifesting now.  Keep us updated!

Hi HH, this sort of attempt at contact isn't unusual.  If this is the first time you've EVER experienced anything "paranormal" you should probably try and contact someone more experienced so that you can conduct an investigation.  If you're comfortable with paranormal activity, you should consider conducting an investigation so that you can have some sort of idea as to whether or not this sensation you are feeling is paranormal.

I can't say that I have been touched but I have gotten head to toe chills with hair standing on end from head to toe, very weird.  Has anyone experienced something like that?  I've seen shadowed figures and had the feeling of being followed or watched, very eerie but cool.  Felt the difference of cold and hot spots etc…just to let everyone know I'm a newbie LOL :) so hello to all of you and I enjoy reading your stuff.  You guys have some real good insight on things and interesting stories, and it's awesome.

Hello my name is Kevin.  I have been trouble sleeping lately, as you can see by looking at the time.  But for those who wake up in the middle of the night, seeing everything and trying to talk or scream or move.  You can't, all you can do is look around and then think, what you do is you pray and pray or chant then think about the person you love the most and say sorry to the ghost in your mind because you can't say it out loud.  But in my culture they call it a ghost stepping on you because they can't breathe and etc….

Hello ppl, I really don't know how to start but I will try my best.  For the past few months, about every 3rd day or so, I have the feeling that someone is running their hand across my cheek and through my hair but it isn't as if someone is physically doing it.  All my hair stands up in those spots from where my cheek starts and ends at the back of my head.  The thing that gets me is the hair only stands up in those spots where I have the sensation.  Also, I have a feeling someone is standing in my kitchen doorway or is in my daughter's room at times.  I have always thought I've seen or felt things through my entire life, but after this started happenning I just dont know what to think.

Hi everyone,

I have had quite a few odd things happen to me in my life, but in the past few weeks things have become more persistant.  Back in March, I was half awake, and I felt someone put a gun to my head, and heard the deafening sound as they shot.  No one was there, and I was obviously ok, so I got up.  A few nights later at the same time, I felt an uneasy presence in the room, my body was getting really warm, and my heart was racing.  So I rolled over, and covered myself with the blankets.  The feeling slowly went away.  But lately this feeling happens more often… It always comes from the same direction.  I finally faced my fear and asked the question, who are you.  And although I still think I am half crazy, I could hear a response in my mind.  I was given the name "Edward Paul"… I have never heard this name before… So I faced part of my fear, but now what? 

And this getting warm, and heart racing… I always thought it was suppose to get cold… strange!

Can a ghost choke you?

I was at my boyfriend's house, and there is clearly a ghost there – people have seen it, apparently.  He just moved in about a month ago, and I have only stayed over there three or four times.  Three of the four, I woke up at 3am, unable to sleep.  Last night, the fourth time, I felt the ghost touching me for awhile.  I've never had a ghost touch me, so I just laid there very freaked out.  After a while it stopped, I think because I eventually moved and turned on the TV.  I went back to sleep a few hours later (it took a long time for me to get back to sleep), and I dreamed that the ghost was saying something to me… When I understood the message, my airways apparently closed.  My boyfriend woke up to me gurgling because I couldn't breathe, and helped me wake up out of a semi-sleep paralysis.

For the past few weeks, I have felt pressure against me in bed like an animal is walking on me.  It was staying around my feet, but now it is moving all around me and I feel the pressure up against me.  I am not asleep or awoken, so I know it is not me dreaming it.  As soon as I turn the tv off to go to sleep and roll over, it begins.  Sometimes the bed even shakes.  I started kicking when I felt it because it was freaking me out and you would hear something hit the armoir at the end of my bed afterwards and it would quit temporarily.  My dog even was awoken by the noise and barked.  There is nothing else in the room with me.  This has happened in the past also, but now it is an every day thing.  Please help me figure out what it is.  My brother died 23 years ago when I was a teenager and I have lost a cat that I was very attached to around 15 years ago.  I haven't lived in that house for years.  In the house I use to live in 3 years ago, I would see a shadow going across the hall and it was always from the bedroom to the bathroom.  I don't know if any of this is connected but I need to know what this is.

Traci – I am having the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCES right now.  It's every night.  At first I thought it was our cat that passed away about 6 months ago, because it felt sort of like he did when he would walk up and down the bed when you were in it, but then it changed.  The ghost (whoever this is) will push down on the mattress and will hold my foot.  I don't see anyone, but I can see the mattress move and can physically FEEL the touch. 

I am on antidepressants and also meds for insomnia, so I've told my doctor, and he thinks it's probably because I take a high dose of Ambien before bed, so that it's just a hallucination, but IT HAS WOKEN ME UP BEFORE also.  In fact, this morning it was the same routine – pressing down on the bed. And this was in full daylight, as I was waking up! Needless to say, I finally said "Who is this? I know you are there?  What do you want?" but I didn't hear any reply.

I am not on any medication and this is an every night thing. It has happened to me during daylight also.

I have left a couple of things out after discussing this with others that may be significant. I was only focusing on the cat that died because that is what it feels like to me. My grandfather died around the same time this became a daily occurrence. I know that sounds pretty bad that I left that part out but I have never been close to him due to him leaving my mother as a baby and not coming back into her life until she was a late teen. They have since become close but I haven't seen him in 15 years or more plus only saw him around 6 or 7 times my whole life. I am 36 now. I had resentment for what he had done to her and hurt her. Therefore, I didn't really connect this to him since I am not close to him. But when it was pointed out to me, after looking back, it did start around the same time on a daily basis. Again, this has happened before but not an every day thing like it is now, so I kind of brushed it off that it was connected to him anyway. I just feel I need to bring it up just in case there could be a connection that someone may know. I have felt it grab my foot also. As soon as I roll over to go to sleep it starts, when I turn around to see what it is, it stops so I don't see anything moving like the blankets. When I roll back over, it will start again. It is almost like something is messing with me. It is very real however and not in my mind. I have spoken to it also, but never get anything back.

My brother died by being struck by lightning so I don't know if that holds any significance. I was not there with him when this happened but it drastically affected by life at a young age.

One more thing, I haven't pointed out that may be significant and I was going to do a search on this also. When I was a teenager, several years back, not long after my brother died, I became rebellious and started drinking at a young age. I clinically died due to drinking. I was shocked and brought back twice. It is very rare that I drink anymore, maybe once a month and I never get drunk when I do. This has been going on for several years now so it has nothing to do with drinking for me to be feeling these things either. These are the only things I can think of that could possibly have a connection with anything. Again, it is very real and it is not my imagination.

I was woken up around 8am this morning to something that was applying pressure to my mattress.  Something was pressing my edge of the bed, behind me, since I was laying on my side.  No one was in the room and it was also daylight.  The pressure was light, and like the weight of a cat walking, but it was like pressure behind my back on the mattress going up and down as if something was trying to wake me up………so I laid there wide awake to make sure this was not related to any dream or sleep state and it kept happening until I quickly turned my head to see if it was my cat and nothing was there.  Right before this thing started, my cat that was laying on my legs SPRANG up fast and jolted to the living room like she got scared by something (which she doesn't normally do).  I just hope it stops.

Hi everyone,
My issue is not a constant one anymore, however, I would like advice on how I can investigate it.  A few years ago, I would wake up around 3:10am every morning for at least a month.  I started waking my exwife up everytime I woke up just for proof that I wasn't dreaming.  One night I woke up to find that my t.v was glowing purple, seen it glow blue before when the vcr was on, but never purple.  It was an old tv that you had to push a number in for the channel you wanted then the number lit up.. something more odd then it being purple was that the cable box was off (the tv plugged into the cable box to feed the power), also the vcr was off and the number on the tv was off… I woke my wife for proof, turned the cable on then all went on.  Then back to black when I turned it off…I checked the vcr and that still caused a blue screen…a few nights later it happened again…. many other weird things have happened in this house before and after that time.. but I can go months and witness nothing at all.. a man died in the basement here of a heart attack in the 50's or 60's and my grandmother passed in this house last year…I do not have any equipment to ghost hunt just yet but am looking forward to buying.  But for now does anyone have any good ideas to communicate without any equipment??  All the experiences I have had made me look into ghost hunting teams…I am very interested if anyone has an opening for me…. thanx

Hi HH,

Recently my boyfriend passed away very suddenly and I am obviously in bits with grief.  For the first time in my life, before I fall asleep, I feel a tingling on my cheek and sometimes a light pressure on my back or shoulder area.  It is very relaxing for me.  Maybe Simon's come back to kiss me or hug me.  I look forward to sleeping now!

Hi Nicola,

I came upon this website for a different reason, but saw your post, and what you had described in your post on April 22 had been a similar experience to mine about 20 years ago  (also of several of my friends said this had happened to them).  I am compelled to respond because I didn't know what to do, or why this happened, and neither did anyone else. One of my friends thought that since this happened at a time in my life when I was making changes to become a better person, that the negative side of the universe didn't want to let me change.  I don't know if that made any sense then or now but that's what she'd said.  Don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me.  Here is the approach that I took.  I figured that whatever it was wanted me to be afraid, like somehow this energy could gain power from my fear.  I didn't want to give up any of my power, and expected fully for an Almighty being to help me a.s.a.p.  Just know that positive energy, attracts positive energy (so go ahead and create lots of it in your life.  Laugh, Live, and Love).  Be true to yourself, belong to yourself, and trust in a Higher Power that will protect you from negative energy – then let go of any fear you may have surrounding this situation.  You don't have to worry about this, ask and trust your Higher Power (God,The Creator, or however you refer to it) to protect you and to stop this from ever happening to you again.  If it helps you to pray, then pray. Pray for whatever you need, any way you need to.  Remember that our creator is the the ultimate and all powerful – so any energy interfering with you is not nearly as powerful as your God/Creator, or any Angel that you ask to protect you.  If you ask an Angel to protect you, then an Angel will protect you.  Take Care and God Bless you.

Hi people and good night.  It's now 12:40am.  I was thinking about the event that happened last night.  I don't claim I see things or that I have powers to see things too.. I have gone to eye docs and they said my eyes are fine.

Last night at 1:30 I would say, I could not go to sleep.  It was weird that this night was so hot I had to put on my fan facing my bed.  I sleep next to my mother and she has a big bed that makes noises when she moves on it.  She's about 56.  Okay so I can't fall asleep it's too hot, and I toss and turn.  And then I am on my side and facing out the door.  Okay… It's very dark and I have taken off my glasses to go to sleep like always.  I saw my mother walk to the living room, and so I waited for like 5 secs and she did not turn the light on yet.  So I called out for her, and she was still on the bed.  I said mom I think im seeing things.  Then after that event is when I went to sleep.  I was not scared at all.  See, just telling you this makes me see and feel.  Every time I feel something pass by me, they never seem to stay because I can look at them.  I don't want to think I have abilities.  I just want to know why I see things, and feel them and hear them.  I have a lot of stories to tell.  Like my new apartment, I hear and feel, not see, little kids running and laughing with joy.  But that's another story.  I'm not scared, I just want answers…

Hi there, On Canada Day of this year my nonna (italian for grandma) passed away in a hospice peacefully by her side and holding her.  I held her hand when she went.  Now, a few months have passed, and my parents moved into my nonna and nono's house to take care of my nono as my nonna used to do everything for him.  What I am curious about is this:

The other night I drove up to my nonna's in my mom's jeep and I felt something looking at me through the passenger side window.  Nothing was visibly there, but I felt it so strongly.  I ran inside in the pitch black and it chased me.  Again still couldn't see it.  I put my stuff down inside, and then I ran into the living room with my mom and nono.  I felt this strong energy in the house, and a presence was looking at me from the left, then from the right.  I started crying because it was sooo strong I couldnt control myself.  I became instantly terrified, with this energy and presence I didnt know what to do. I told my mom and spoke with a family friend that said I am just more intune to spiritual things than others, because my mom didn't feel it.  However earlier in the day my mom did see a shadow.  We figure my nonna is just around the house, however as I write this I am feeling a very negative energy and am feeling VERY uncomfortable… So please someone help me out with what I am feeling.  Thanks – Nikki, 19

God am I glad I have read these replies.  I have been thinking I've been going nuts, about 10 months or so ago I awoke one night and something touched my toe.  I had a feeling of a presence in the room and thought I was being burglarized.  I lay deaad still and feared to look around but nothing more happened and I fell asleep.  Ever since then, things have progressed alot.  The following is a true and genuine account of a nightly happening, and if anyone can explain it to me, it would be greatly appreciated.  I live in a modern ground floor flat.  I do not have any cats, as soon as I get into bed and very much wide awake I feel what feels like a feline jump up and walk along the mattress edge, then circle and lie on my foot or knee.  I feel its weight and when it lies down, I feel a tingly static type feeling and it makes my foot or knee warm.  I have felt 4 separate individuals on the bed at one time, one is far heavier than the others.  I have videoed all night long, yet seen nothing.  Though I do have some stills with interesting stuff on them, these things are real, what are they?  Are they paranormal, or just something yet to be recorded?  I am content with them, but curiousity is killing me.  I can find nothing out about them, thanks for reading.

I've been having nightmares for about a year.  Some are of ppl I've never met or seen, and stories of how they died.  I don't know if they're real or what, but I keep having them about different people.  Sometimes I wonder if it's something in my room because most of the time when I wake up from a nightmare I feel a sudden presence in my room and it's always on the left side.  Even sometimes I'll just wake up and I feel a change and my heart starts to beat like crazy.  Like I'm being watched.  I dont know what to do, or why it's happening.  It's really confusing and fustrating.  I don't watch scary movies or read books that would make me have nightmares.  One nightmare I'll never forget, it was a girl and it was very dark but there was a storm going on and she was crying tears of blood.  I don't get it, so is it a bad energy in my room or what?  I'm running out of options to explain it.

I do believe a ghost can get in anyone's dream, but you really don't know if it's a ghost or a dream.  And for me I've never been scared of nothing, but a dream I had was a shadow of a figure outside my house so I got up to see who it was.  When I went outside he moved to a different spot, so I went up to it and was going to touch the figure on the shoulder. Before I touched him, he turn towards me.  For some reason, I look to the night sky and lighting was about to hit me.  I woke up before it did, and after that every time I hear lightening or somthing loud it still gives me chills and that dream happend 8 to 10 years ago.  I never forget it .  Now I maybe dream 2 times out of a year, everything else is blank…ever since I was a kid this figure was leading me somewhere.  Then he told me to hurry that my mom is coming.  When he said that, I looked back and then looked at the figure and it was gone.  I looked back, my mom was coming out the door.  Ever since then, I could feel the presence of ghosts.

I was wondering if someone can help me, I've got a list as long as my arm from the experiences I have, but I will knock it down to one.  Whenever I have a boyfriend, things start happening.  It feels like they are warnings to let me know these boyfriends are no good and they are no good.  How do I find out who could be doing this?  Once I heard a deep gruff man's voice say my son's name as if to say get out of the relationship cus my kid would get hurt by the man I was seeing.  Sure enough, whatever it was, was right.  It's right everytime.  It it's my grandparents, who I was very close to, could it be them?  I have tried EVP on my mobile phone and I'm a little scared, but I don't ever hear anything on playback.  I would love to think it's my grandparents but I don't know.  Please can someone help me on this?  Also, a bit of background.  When I was around 8 years old, my best friend's mum and her friends did the Ouija board every week.  Could something negative have followed me?  I would love to be able to write to someone in detail about my experiences and get some answers.  Many thanks.

I have been struggling with this for the past 4 months or so off and on.  I often wake up in the middle of night, being nudged, shaken awake and feel a cold pressence.  Last night I woke up and my jaw was quivering and body shaking as if I been been in a cold bath.  The funny thing is I just turned on the heat up prior to going to bed.  I have heard my share of the ghost stories over the years and often laughed it off.  I am a 32 year woman, of very sound mind so even telling anyone is not an option.  I can feel something there, more than once right beside me in my bed and I have been awake.  I have lost a lot of sleep, often dragged myself in to work but too ashamed to tell anyone, fearful they will think that I have lost it.  I've been doing research and it gives me the creeps even reading about it.  I would love some insight.

Whilst I'm sitting in my bedroom I always feel as though I'm being watched.  I start to feel uncomfortable, as this usually happens when my curtains and door are shut.  It sometimes feels as though someone's reaching out to me.  I'm not sure why.  I often find myself replying to a question in my head which nobody has asked.  I would spend ages trying to answer the question then get confused on who asked it, as I had no need to ask myself that question and nobody else had.  This sometimes un-nerves me.  Can somebody give me some input on this please?

As I am a huge believer in ghosts, I'm always looking at these sites.  Whenever I do look at them, I always feel watched and that I'm doing something wrong.  My heart doesn't beat faster exactly, but I can feel it beating heavier.  Also every month or so, when I'm in bed I feel the need to cover myself up and hide away, like I'm scared of something that I can't see.  Whenever I feel like this, I always turn on the light and check if anything is there, as it always makes me nervous.  Please help.

I've always been interested in the paranormal, when I was a child.  But I sort of grew out of it…until I've realized that was in contact with Shadow People a couple or several times.  I seriously thought I had a health condition…or some disorder occurring within my brain that might disconnect with my breathing and body movements.  But when I heard that I wasn't alone in my experiences…my interests in the paranormal gradually comes back again.  But I'm still confused…It's either Sleep Apnoea Syndrome or Shadow People…which I don't see at all, but a blur and feel its presence.  Anyways…I'm not of the religious sort…I'm pretty agnostic because there hasn't been significant proof that God, his messengers, and Satan ever existed.  But our intuition tells us otherwise…that is significant proof enough.  The paranormal is subtle.

I can feel ghosts in my very old house.  I feel as if I have to look around every few minutes to make sure no one's there.  I can imagine the movements of the spirits.  I can't tell if it's my mind or if it's really my senses.  I really get interested in ghosts but I believe I have a fear problem.  In my mind I hear voices.  I want to ask who's there but no one would undertsand.  I'm not that old.  I'm very confused.  I have a friend who is like me, and understands my feelings.  She acutally had one time where she felt someone ripping her arm and now she is going to see a medium.  I fear my parents wouldn't understand.  How can I control this?  Do I really have it or not?  Please help.

My husband recently went to help sort out a friend's house, who recently passed away.  When he came through the door, I immediately felt another presence behind him.  The presence felt like a solid mass, but was invisible.  Why I am saying this was because the presence pushed right past me.  It was very strong.  I told my husband that he has a spirit attached to him. 

So far, the spirit hasn't done anything profound.  However, I was able to get its name on an EVP.  I have cleared my property once and was able to send the person into the light to be with his family.  However, I have only been able to get his name.  I don't feel threatened by him, but being he attached himself to my husband, who had spent time several miles from our home.  It is hard to find out anything about him.  My husband did clue me in that one of the pubs that they went to for a meal was reputed to be haunted.  I am guessing one of the spirits attached itself to my husband, as the friend was like a father to him, as he was in shock over his death.

Just by reading your mail I can tell it's your grandfather, and your nana is there but does not say much.  I felt that I needed to write you as I have saw and spoken before to the passed over, but never has it came to me by reading emails.  He is worried about you, he wants to watch over you still as he did not want to leave this side of life.  If you are not afraid, sit quietly in a room when you think of him, open your hand and ask him to touch it….. it's definately no bad spirit.  xx

WOW.  So, It took awhile but I finally finished reading all the comments.  I think I should start by saying that we are not crazy and that something is definitely "occurring."  Just because we can't prove that it's there doesn't mean it isn't.  Dark matter has not been detected, but it is a common scientific term.  I have a few theories, but 1st let me tell you my experiences.

My 1st exp was the day after this kid from my school climbed a tower and died from electrocution.  It was a misty day.  After a moment of silence, standing outside in a school formation, a few of us noticed smoke coming from the highest tree across the street.  The smoke started to look light a tower with a squiggly line climbing it.  Seconds later everyone else noticed this. 

Nothing really happened to me since then until earlier this year.  Around 1, 2, or 3 o'clock sometimes, when I am downstairs by myself, I start to feel a presence.  And it is not a product of fear.  I am not afraid of anything.  The crazy part is that I think I can hear the presence of whatever it is.  Not words or random sounds, but a high pitch frequency.  Now I have found that black noise is the sound of silence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

If you have never heard it before, hop in your car and close your eyes.  When I think I can hear a presence, at night, the frequency of the sound of silence increases very high.  Sometimes it even fluctuates.  Last time it happened, It fluctuated so much, that I felt like throwing up.  I believe I can sense presences.  Can someone do me a favor?  The next time something unexplainable is happening, can you focus on what you hear in terms of the loudness of silence.  -loudness of silence- that's pretty funny!

Recently I've been really interested in the paranormal.  In the next couple weeks, me and a friend of mine are going to attempt to find some evidence of paranormal activity in the Bridgewater Triangle, namely the Hockomock Swamp, also known as The Devil's Swamp, named by early settlers.  This is going to be the first time either of us have done anything of this sort before.  We're both really interested and intrigued (SP) by the unknown.  We've been researching the history behind the swamp and triangle for the last couple days, fairly sure that we know almost everything that has happened there for the last couple hundred years.  I'm just wondering if anyone has any kind of advice for the both of us.  Any and all advice will be glady put to use.  Thank you for your time, and I'm going to be looking forward to responses from anyone.

I think I have a ghost in my house.  A couple of times at night when I am in bed but not asleep I heard a voice whisper my name.  Very strange.  What is making me write this right now is I just went in my bedroom where my son (2) is taking a nap, he woke up yelling mama mama.  I put him back asleep and just as I was lying next to him, it felt like someone sat next to me on my bed.  Now I don't want to shut the door, I need to see my son.  And a lot of other strange things have been happening as well.  My mom's volume on her tv kept going up and down.  The microwave goes on by itself.  I just want to know who it is.  Whoever or whatever it is, I dont think it/they are harmful, just lost.

A few days back while I was sleeping on my bed inside my quilt, I felt like somebody spoke….. into my ears but nobody was there…. after a few seconds the dog outside also started crying.  Is all this coincidence or I can feel the presence of ghosts?

Hello Michelle, I doubt you will get my message, but it does sound like it is a ghost.  The reason I believe this is because I have almost the same experiences you say you have, pretty often.  If you want to talk about experiences, or talk to me about who the spirit could be if is a spirit (I am not saying it isn't) then just post here a second time saying something like you want to talk (include my name if you can) and I will try to get back to you. (This also goes for anyone else who has similar experiences.)

Hi Nicola:
Recently I have been trying to contact a well known psychologist that died while I was in Iraq.  He was also a friend of mine.  I have had that freezing feeling as well…and I was in a warm shower.

Cassandra:
You should definitely contact a medium.  You are fine.

Thanks for the Wikipedia color of noise link.  Funny..my playstation has this weird buzz, and the TV is perfect.  Also, my light bulbs burn out and then work again.  I also have felt like I need to throw up.  You see, I have been working very hard on contacting a famous psychologist, very old, who died and he was also a sort of boyfriend too.  I have wanted signs very badly.  He has given me small signs, like moving objects while I sleep (very tiny ones)..but never moves what I dare him too.  Apparently, their strength resembles that of humans.

As I have said in other comments, I have been trying desperately to contact my dead and somewhat famous ex-boyfriend psychologist friend.  He was very old when he died.  Anyway, after that, sometimes when I went to my parents' house, they all heard footsteps coming down the hall…they thought someone had broken in, but there was never anyone there.

Wow—it's nice to know I'm not losing my mind.  Two weeks ago, I was fast asleep and I felt like I was woken up…right away I got really abnormally hot and I was sweating.  It's hard to explain, but I could feel someone in the room with me, the air was kinda blurry and I could see a figure … I completely lost my voice couldn't speak or move.   I felt this figure come near me and touch me—right as it happened I turned ice cold.  I've never experienced anything like it before in my life.  Eventually maybe 10 minutes later everything went back to normal and I left my room crying.  When I went back to my room a few minutes later, I brought my dog with me because I didn't want to be alone even though usually he's not allowed in the bedroom—crazy as this sounds the first thing he did when he got into the room is sniff up in air exactly where I had seen this figure.  Two nights ago, I was sleeping in a different room same house and I experienced the feeling once more…

Does anyone have any advice what to do?   I'm scared of it, and I'm scared most people will think I'm absolutely insane.  I've lived in this same house for more than 10 years and it has never happened to me before.

I have also felt something on my mattress, as if someone were pushing down on the mattress.  For the entire month of December 2009 , it felt like there was someone else in the room with me.  And I would see strange apparitions in my room.  One night, I had woken up and above me it looked as though there was a door and people were going thru it..  I thought how odd not really realizing what I was seeing or associating any of this with the paranormal until the first day of 2009.  For the first six days of the New Year, something strange happened to me.  From seeing a ghost, to something attaching itself to me, to ghost spirits going inside me.  I still feel the pressure on my bed, but it's not every night now.

Jessa, I have to ask first if anyone you know has recently passed away.  Possibly, someone is attempting to make contact with you.  Or if not, and you feel the presence might be evil, have you been to any known haunted locations, used a ouija board or anything to talk to the dead, or possibly brought an item like an antique home prior to this occurring?  If you're a religous person, you can get your pastor to bless your home(item) and that should take care of it.  If ouija boards were the cause, I would definitely stop using it, just because you can't trust whatever it is you contact.  If you need something stronger, I would definitely contact a priest (Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal) and have them bless some salt, oil and water for you to keep in your home.  Any will do, epsom salt, olive oil, and plain tap water.  Hope that helps!  God Bless

I'm 11 and I used to live in a house with lots of paranormal activity.  I used to see them walk through the hall past my bedroom.  Sometimes they scream when they walk.  My sister had gotten the most visits by angry spirits.  One of them possessed a doll (sister's case).  My mom had had a couple of visits too. She had a old man who came and talked to her about revenge against his wife.  My sister had an old woman come up to her side of the bed, and jump on her shaking her head and scream.  My sister was astonished.  Holy water.

I too have felt ghosts at night.  It's the same feeling everytime… last night was the first time in a few months.  It wakes me while sleeping on my stomach.  I sleep alone.  The touch is gentle yet with pressure.  I bite my hand to make sure I am awake.  Then without moving my head, I glance over to a picture in my room to make sure I am awake.  Once I decide I must be awake, I concentrate on what I am feeling.  ALWAYS on my tummy and ALWAYS at my legs.  I sleep under bedding so no direct touch ( I guess???) with "it".  Something is working its way up my legs (nothing sexual, I repeat nothing sexual).  It's a slow move at both my legs.  Both sides.. a slow cat kneading type feel.  Once I allowed it to move all the way to my shoulders before I moved.  Every time I move slightly, it would stop then start again. 

I call out and ask what they want.  They stop kneading and moving, then start again.  The only time it stops completely is when I turn over and look for it.  This morning I decided I would turn the t.v. on without turning over.  I reached the headboard for the remote.  I fumbled with the buttons and the kneading slowed but never stopped.  When I finally did get the t.v. on, the kneading moved back down my legs to my feet and stopped.  Almost like someone was sliding off the bed and my feet were the last to touch.  That was 3 AM.  I called my sister to verify I was not dreaming.  I wish "it" would stop.  This time, I was uncomfortable.  Past times, I didn't feel scared and thought it was kinda cool.  Not last night.

I had a very scary experience and am wondering if anyone can explain it.  In the Fall, I was visiting Budapest and rented an apartment.  It was an old craftsman workshop with two-story vaulted ceilings that had been converted with a loft for a bed.  As soon as I walked in the door, I knew I didn't want to stay there, but as that reaction seemed silly I just left my stuff and went out to explore.  I came back to the apt. after dark and was overwhelmed with the bad energy right away, especially in the loft area where I was sleeping.  The reaction was so strong that I was shivering and sweating and didn't get any sleep until dawn. Is Budapest a very haunted place?  It seemed to have a general bad energy.  Why would the ceiling area be particularly creepy?  I didn't see or feel anything touching me.

Since my mom died November 30, 2007, I have been getting premonitions. I see things, people, occurances.  Then they happen, maybe a day, week or so later.  At first I dismissed them.  But then they started happening more frequently.  At first I didn't notice until I recognized certain things in the paper, and situations..If you tell people, they think "your nuts."  So I don't tell anyone, anymore.  How do I find out information about this?  I'm not afraid, but want to know more or be educated about these strong feelings.  They come without a moments notice, at work, rest, play.  Am I just hoping for something?  Am I really reacting to some form?  Please help.  Any suggestions?

My mum had an heart attack in front of me in the car and died a day and a half later.  I have felt coldness in the house, especially in the kitchen and room where she sat, but no traumatic events took place there.  Also had knocking sounds on doors leading to the room where she sat, and also goosebumps and hairs stand on end.

I am seeking an answer as to why and if this has happened to anyone alse?  I have experienced a presence about 4 times in the space of 4 years.  It has come into my room, it is male and as to say "evil."  When it would enter my room, my back was always to the door and it would take control of me and I would not be able to move.  It would speak to me in a violent way and would threaten me and I could even hear the sound of a knife being pulled out and could feel it bend over me.  The last time this has happend was Christmas time in 2008 and I was in my room (this has happened in 4 seperate houses and 4 seperate towns and is the same presence each time.)  I was sleeping but woke to my door opening, I thought it was my brother, but of course was this "spirit" or presence and i was frozen again it moved ever so quikly like the speed of light. and then (im getting goose bumps as i type this) it was right beside me standing by my bed and I could not see a face just a dark figure like a shadow.  It then seemed like it dove inside me through my neck.  I felt its anger it had taken over me but I was still me but the presence as well and I was fighting it and trying to wake up and get out of bed.  I was rolling around on my bed trying to get it out of me.  I asked it a question, I asked "What do you want from me? "  It replied in an angry man's voice "answers!!!"  Then it left my body, and I could move and got up out of bed and turned the light on.  I was absolutely frightened and shaking and stared crying hysterically.

I woke my family up because i was so scared and I was to frightened to sleep.  It took me about a year to be able to sleep in a room alone again and I could not sleep properly for so long.  My twin brother decided to tell me about 6 months after my final interaction with this "presence," that it happened to him a few times but the presence would lay on his bad next to him but never did anything alse.  This has not happend to either of us since.   I would really like to know the answer as to why this has happened, and what does it mean and was it a presence or spirit and WHO is it?

I have had the same experience and try not to tell people either because yes they think we are nuts.  I dream of somthing and then it is either in the paper the next or following days, or on tv, or just happens to me or someone I know.  I'm not scared of it either, but I don't want it to happen anymore.

Hi Belinda,

This is regarding your message written on June 5, 2008. 

I think that what you describe is the beginning of an OBE (Out of Body Experience).  I say this to you because my husband has been having these experiences since he was a little boy.  The first stage of his OBEs is when he hears a buzzing sound, and he wants to wake up because he hates having these OBEs, and he finds himself floating in the room, as an energy light.  But, as soon as he wants to move his body to "wake up," he just can't no matter how much he tries.  Sometimes, he tells me to wake him up if I feel him doing small sudden involuntary movements with his fingers or hands, because he knows he will have an OBE.  I think you should try to relax and let yourself go, and start wandering INSIDE your house.  By thought you can be in any place in a second, passing through walls and all matter.  Don't go outside.  My husband has told me that he has gone only a few times outside the house and had found other dark lights.  He says he can see us sleeping and can see our lights.  It might be the beginning of your OBEs.  keniram@msn.com

Ok, well I live in a 2 story house.  And I cannot sleep downstairs.  I'd wake up in the middle of the night very scared.  EVERYTIME.  I'll feel things, like the feeling in your back when someone's behind you.  I can't sleep on my side with it facing the oepn space.  Even upstairs in my mom's room it's weird.  I cant sleep there.  Once I fell asleep and I woke up to a scream in my ear and each time it woke me, it got louder and louder.  In my room, I feel wierd but not as much as other places in my house.  One time I felt something going down my back and I laid on my back and I felt tingles in my fingers.  It was extremely weird.  Once I actually got to speak to a friend who recently passed away but a lot of wierd stuff has happened before and after that.  We're the only ones who lived in this house.  We built it.  Lived in it for 18 yrs, going on 19.

Please Help!  I recently have had similar experiences to what I have been reading about.  No auditory sensations, but I have had a tap on the foot and hand and one afternoon I awoke to something brushing my hair very aggressively.  I am scared to say I saw something floating in a figure eight motion above me the other night.  It was dark with a sort of glow around it and I could make out the features it looked scary (the glow consists of like when oil hits water and has a type of rainbow tint to it).  Nevertheless, it was very frightening.  I have also gone through a paralyzed state where I can't move or yell for help.  I am scared this is a demon or could it be a ghost… please help.

Gene

Gene – The paralyzed state is known as "sleep paralysis."  This often happens early in the morning just before waking—or right before sleep at night.   As Keni commented (2 comments before yours), it could also be the beginning stages of astral projection/OBE.  Google "sleep paralysis" for more information on this topic. 

The feeling of being touched (on the foot, hand, hair) is fairly common.  If you think you may have paranormal activity, please see this post on how to test a house for paranormal activity.  Based on what you've written, I don't think you have anything to worry about. 

My best friend died a few days ago in a fatal car accident.  When she died, her neck broke.  When I was driving today, I felt a strong presence that someone was with me in the car and my neck tightned up.  I got this sense of negative energy and started panicking a lil bit.  I felt weak and felt like if I looked over in the driver's seat, I would see her there all deformed from the wreck and stuff.  Shouldn't I feel a warmth that she's looking out for me, instead of this dense scary energy?

Thanks Michelle.

Sky – I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm not completely a professional on this, but I've been experiencing paranormal activity almost all my life.  From what I've read, this could be you feeling your friend in the car with you since it happened such a short time ago, and panicked because you didn't want to see her at the time and just thought of the worst. But don't worry…if you did see her you, you wouldn't see her in the state that she was in after the crash…you'd see her how she looked before.  I'm not sure why it happens this way…but that's all I know.  I hope I helped you some.

I have something in my room…I have felt it so much.  My room gets cold.  I wake up and see someone standing over me.  I really don't know what to do…I have recorded it and taken photos, so no one thinks I'm crazy, and they can see it too.  I recorded, and I saw about 15 different faces on my wall.  I have photos, each one different and they don't look good at all.  What brings this in??  The video I took, it looked like a lady was trying to tell me something.  It looked like someone was getting beaten up.  I am a very depressed person, could they be hanging on to me??  I see them at work, follows me a lot and I don't like it.  What is the 3rd eye, have I opened it up?

I've owned a home for 10 years now and just moved into it five months ago.  Since then I have had 2 incidents in the home and 1 at another home.  About 2 months ago while sleeping, I was awakened by the weight of someone getting in the bed and pulling me back towards them.  I was not frightened at the time but said "don't" a few times and was let go.  Two nights ago, I again felt the weight behind me and the feeling of the beginnings of a beard brush against my cheek.  This time, I was unable to move or say anything, but it went away.  I don't feel like I know the person.  Since the day I first came into this home, I felt at peace and everyone that visits says the same thing.  So, I am surprised by this person, who could it be?  Would it just be someone connected to the home, or could it be someone that I knew?

Two months ago, I was at a friend's house sleeping and woke to hear my dog (who passed away after 16 years, 1 year ago) jumping and whining to get up on the side of the bed.  I didn't want to look because I knew she wouldn't be there, but a moment later she jumped up and I felt her lay down against the back of my legs in a ball like she used to do.  Again, I couldn't bring myself to reach down and pet her, for fear she would go away.

I haven't seen anything but I do get this feeling on top of my head.  My husband died just over 2 years ago.  At nightime, just as I am getting off to sleep, I sometimes have this feeling of a tremendous gust of wind or energy behind me.  Sometimes I go with the flow and let it happen and other times like last night, it was so strong I felt as though my body was shaking—as though something was going right through me.  I let out a scream and my daughter heard me.  What can this be?

Okay so it started when I was like 5 years old.  I was asleep and all of a sudden I felt something stroke my hair so I jumped up in bed and saw this woman with dark hair curled up lying on the end of the bed.  I glanced back at the spot where she was again, and there was nothing there.  After that, nothing happened for years until I was 11 years old.  When I was that age, I had just recently started sharing a room with my sister and at first I slept like a baby but then I started to feel like someone was watching me so I couldn't sleep at all.  I would basically stay up all night.  So then one night I got really scared and ran to my mother's room and slept in there then I didn't feel eyes on me.  And sadly I am now 13 years old and will be 14 this year and I still sleep in my mother's room and nothing's happened.  But lately during the day and at night no matter where I am I feel eyes on me,and I swear sometimes I see random people walking past me when I'm alone in a room.  And feel like something's touching my hair or mostly my back but I always flinch away, then it stops.  And just recently I was in my mother's room talking on the phone on my knees, partly on the bed and then suddenly I felt a finger going down my spine but when I turned around nothing was there.  And whenever I'm alone, I always feel like someone's eyes are watching my every move.  Can someone please help me!

Hey, I haven't seen a ghost in my room but can definately feel the presence of one.  I can feel it moving around me and making strange noises.  Last night my friend stayed over and heard someone whisper her name.  What can I do?  x

Hi, I always feel the presence of someone watching me even when I'm not alone.  I don't get scared when someone is there in the house or outside with me but when I'm alone.  I've been through lots of situations related to ghosts, so sometimes I even think it's just in my head, but when I think it at the same time something happens, lights turn on or off.  I get the goose bumps and feeling of someone walking away from me.  Idk if it is some spirit or ghost, or just in my head.

I'm normally not one to believe in ghosts…or religion for that matter, but lately i've been getting a strong feeling of a ghost's presense.  It's kind of hard to explain, and I feel really ridiculous trying to talk about with other people about it—but I'm beginning to get really worried.  I seem to only feel the presense of this ghost whenever I'm in my room (usually resting), and between the hours of 7-10pm.  Whatever it is, it's not friendly.  It's happend to me three times since the beginning of the year—usually the room gets slightly colder, I hear a slight ringing, and then I almost feel paralyzed – unable to move or call for help.  It's then that I feel as though something is touching me, sometimes it feels as though something is pulling the blankets over my head, or just lying next to me.  If that's not weird enough – I can also hear it.  By that, I mean I can actually "hear" the blankets moving towards my head or someone's obvious presence next to me.  No one close to me has died recently, and I can't figure out why I'm the only one in my house to experience this.  Please help.

Hello, one day I went to the neighbour's dads home with her to get some old tubs out of the yard.  I knew that her dad layed dead in there for ten days of a heart attack, the neighbour lady was actully born in my house.  Anyway, in the middle of the night I woke up and had very intense pins and needles all over my entire body and was paralyzed, this lasted for about 30 seconds.  Could you help me understand this?

MAY 08 2009  You say you can feel the energy, but I feel everything.  First, it started about at 10.00 pm tonight.  I dropped a friend off and as soon as they got out of the car I felt an energy, a warm feeling in my heart and I got goose bumps and out of nowhere tears.  An hour later, the pain comes and goes but the tears keep flowing.  My roomate thinks I'm having anxiety attacks but I don't think he is right.  I believe that something is telling me sometthing.  How do I help? What do i do?  It's real strong the energy.  I can help.  I want to.

Hi, my brother has just moved into a house with his girlfriend & her 3 children.  She split from her husband who was violent, he keeps seeing a little girl around the age of 5 in the house but just lately she goes out in the car with them and to my mums house.  She seems to be guarding the children, but last night things changed.  My bro saw her several times last night and when he went upstairs he called to his g/f.  She said I'm just coming, then he heard a noise like a chair moving he ran down to find his g/f on the floor face down in a state of death.  He tried for ages to bring her round, then he slapped her face she screamed and ran upstairs locking herself in.  Her ex used to do this so she thought it was him, so my bro was upset and tried to flee the house but could not find his keys to get out so he stayed.  Today he asked he what happened, she said that something pushed her to the ground and held her hands behind her back she saw my bro but she was watching from the ceiling she saw and heard all but couldnot respond.  Something was holding her back, he also asked about the keys.  She said she locked the door before he went to bed with her keys and left them in the lock, but when they looked his keys were in there and hers were on the computer.  Can anyone help them, as they are really scared.

I feel these voices in my head of other people telling me what they want me to do and sometimes I see them all the time in the middle of the night in the corner of my eye by my door.  And it's scary because I'm only 13 and I don't know what to tell my parents.  I know what they are because I get the feeling there's a woman, man, and sometimes a child.  But at my old house, there was a woman and about five of her kids and I don't know what to do anymore.

I always witness some type of paranormal stuff…like…when I was younger I would lay in my bed and I would see a dark cloud forming toward the ceiling. Then one day I was going to the bathroom, and I saw a man sitting in my grandma's chair and when I told her what I saw, she said that was her father.  When I am trying to go to sleep, I hear people talking.  There have been times where I thought I have seen someone and they quickly disappeared.  I have been pinned down in my sleep..couldn't even talk or move.  I sometimes feel ghosts or spirits around me, sometimes even smell tobacco or perfume I know I don't smoke or wear.  I used to live in a house with my grandma and strange things would happen..like the vcr tape would go in by itself and play…or the tv would come on if I have it turned off…

I often dream about dead people but it never make any sense at all. We moved into another house and one day, I was laying on my bed and I felt someone sit on my bed.  I thought it was a relative, but when I looked up I saw no one.  My grandma and I decided to get our own seperate apartments.  On my first day at my apartment, I was laying in the bed waiting on my son to come home…I felt a tap on my shoulder, I looked up again, no one was there.  A lot has been going on…my grandmother who is now deceased used to tell me that I was weird.  One day I was sleeping after her death…I could hear her calling me right in my eardrums…but I knew she was dead and she told whoever she was talking to "She always does that" in a joking way…I got up to see her and she wasn't there.  I always dream about people who have passed on, but I dont understand what is it that they want from me.  I was asleep on my couch and I had my door open…I was awaken by a loud noise…My door had slammed…and the wind was not blowing…What is going on?  I know I am not crazy, I am not on drugs…Whoever this spirit or ghost is, they like to do things when or while I am trying to sleep.  It's like I am being followed…Things come up missing when I know I just had them.

Hi, I have a story about my previous house. The house was 80+ years old, we moved in but couldn't afford to decorate straight away, the decor was old fashioned etc but clean and well looked after. Just to add, we were told that the owners died of old age in a nursing home/hospital. The night we moved in I sat on an armchair in front of the window watching tv when I got a very strong smell of tobaco, as soon as my wife came over to smell it, it was gone. Months went by and then we had the money to start home improvements. 1st job was ripping out old fireplace and then replaced kitchen, a few weeks after the work was done my wife had a strange experience. We had went to bed and she was woke up by the presence of somebody staring at her, she turned towards me (I was fast asleep) and there was an old man leaning on me staring at her, she said she couldn't move and couldn't talk, the figure went backover into the wall and she drifted off back to sleep, confused that she felt semi-concious during this.

This freaked us a little but we put it down to a dream etc. My wife also described this figure to have a black hat on, grey hair at the sides and a heavy wrinkled face. (The shock is at the end) Next strange thing was one of the kids (5 yrs old at the time) kept having nightmares about an old man's face coming out of the wall (the wall that separated his bedroom from ours). He said it was looking at him, but he couldn't do anything or scream etc. I just passed these experiences off as bad dreams etc and chose not to think anything into it…..until. One night I was asleep and awakened by an ice cold feeling on my face and shoulder, I turned onto my back but couldn't move my arms, legs, couldn't even open my eyes etc.  The cold got worse and then I felt a pressure on my ankles, kind of pushing into the matress and then letting them spring up and then repeating it again.  I felt fully awake in mind but not body, this feeing went and I then woke up on the morning shocked and confused. I told my wife about it and both our experiences had this same semi consious feeling. Just to top it all off, 3 days later the other kid who shares the same room as his brother was having his breakfast and asked my wife why we left the cat on his bed during the night, he said that he felt it bouncing on his feet, the cat was put out on a night.

Now the biggest shock came when my wife was doing a bit of work in the front garden, the neighbour passed and in conversation mentioned that the previous owner would have been proud of the work she had put in, my wife used this oppertunity to ask what he looked like, the response was "funny old bloke, we used to laugh coz he never took his hat off, even in the summer", she then went on to describe the grey hair and heavy wrinkles. Just to top it off she then went on to say he dropped down dead in the garden and his wife died in the living room in an arm chair in front of the window. We immediatly put the house on the market and moved. Thanks for reading, long but tried to put as much detail as I could into it.

Hey, when I'm in my room alone, I feel like I'm being watched and when I lie down, I feel like something's touching me.  Like it starts at my hair and sends a tingling sensation down half my body.  At the begining I feel like a hand is resting on my side then it feels like the hand is moving all over my side.  Is that normal?  Well not normal, but how should i say this, bad?

I feel different, more like some one's touching me. Like spider webs are all over my body. Sometimes, at night when I feel bad like my muscles, it cares for them. I used to be able to see them when I was young. Call me crazy if you want. I don't like the way it feels when they touch me.

Yeah, I get that too.  Sometimes I feel tingly and some one is touching my hand, when I'm laying down.

Alright ever since my brother passed away six years ago I have had paranormal experiences. My first experience was with my step-sister Sammy while we were outside. The same girl from a year ago was standing at the end of our drive-way. Sammy told me not to move as the girl started walking up to the porch. Soon the walking turned into inhuman speed and she was on our porch about two feet away. Well Sammy went inside because she said she had an uneasy feeling but I stayed. I felt a cold presence around me (this was a hot summer night) and I felt really sad. This girl's coat was torn with the stuffing coming out and her hair was tatted and greasy too. Finally I said sorry to her and walked inside the house.

The second was when I started dating my boyfriend three years ago. I was talking to him on the phone and I felt someone put their arms around my waist. Then it got tighter everytime I spoke to my him. I felt like something was jealous or being very protective of me.

The third was at my dad's house. I took a picture with no flash in a closet and a face appeared in it. It looked as if it was screaming. And it also looked like someone was standing in a bent doorway. Later on the radio would come on by itself plugged in or not. That was in my sisters room. My mom and I decided to sleep in there but I had to rush her out because I had a bad vibe from the room and closet. Then my dad left and we couldn't find him so we went to the cemetery where my brother is buried. My mom said she saw something move over near Tanis's (my brother) tomb stone so she got out of the car. A black figure ended up running infront of the car and there was a bunch of other paranormal activity going on there. I am not lying on any of this. I speak only the truth and only want to find out more.

I just want to say I never believed in ghosts, but I had something happened just in the past month.  Can you email me your address so I can discuss somethings that I don't understand?  I need your help in understand what I need to communicate with them.

I believe I am a medium, I can feel the presence of ghosts and can tell if you have a demon or spirit in you… I know, weird right? Does anyone else get that weird feeling when a ghost or someone or something is near/watching you? My feeling is like the feeling of fear down my spine (only my spine) and then my stomach seems to disolve into the air…

I totally believe in ghosts and I swear there is one in this one room in the basement in my house…I used this room for the longest time for the computer room it was also the spare bedroom but it is seriously always so damn cold no matter what.  The room across is never that cold and it doesn't make sense.  It's a small closed area with a vent. I have always felt like I'd hear voices when I was in there of ppl inside my house and I would seriously look around the house and nothing then I'd go back down and hear them and still nothing.  I just have always had mad chills in that room…the other day my friend walked in there he said he felt something walk through him and it scared the crap out of him lol but I don't know, it doesnt make any sense. This room never heats up no matter how high the furnace is on. Sorry for the run-on sentences but yeah that's my story.  Might think it's lame, but just thought I'd share.

woah…that's crazy

It happens to me alot. Like mostly when I'm alone. When I go to sleep, I have the tv on, and everything goes blank even though it is still there. I hear this ringing noise, and I can feel a ghost. Somtimes it's really bad energy, but I have to live with it. I'm used to it already.

I want to know why I have an overwhelming feeling of fear that just comes over me and then I can feel like something is watching me, or is in the same room with me. I can walk in certain areas of a facility and certain doorways I will not cross because of the overwhelming fear that hits me all of a sudden when I try to enter the room. I can sense events that happened in the room, and if it's bad I find myself not being able to enter because of the presence that is there.

Finally…people who can actually 'feel' ghosts with me. I can sense where they are in a room or something..some will be easy too 'look at' but others..they just disappear. Is it stupid to say that teenagers like me get this 'thing' alot? It really scares me sometimes.

I just found this site. I hve been told I am a sensitive, and I was also told by two renowned psychics, that I have the same gift they do! How do you cultivate this gift? My sister also has this, and actually had to be taught to turn it off.

I was concerned the other day, when I was standing in my kitchen, I felt uneasy, and them I got really sick like I wanted to vomit, I ran out of the kitchen. Said a prayer of protection. What could this have been?

I am not sure if this is anything to do with feeling the presence of a ghost, but this is what happened to me this morning. I woke up this morning around 6am and came into my living room and tried to have a little sleep on the sofa. I then felt like there was somebody else was in the room with me. I also heard a strange noise which I would describe as the sea late at night. Where you can hear the waves and wind…. I then felt as if someone had sat next to me on the sofa, even the sofa slightly went down where there was an extra pressure of someone sitting down on it.

I refused to open my eyes because I was so terrified. My heart was racing and my body felt really heavy, almost where I couldn't move. I'm not not sure what this feeling was but it really scared me. My grandma passed away last week who lived in another country. I'm not sure if it was her but it just felt really uncomfortable. I don't know if it was her or something else, or not anything to do with ghosts. Does anybody know anything about what I experienced today?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some experiences I've had, and I was wondering if anyone has felt anything similar, or if anyone knows what types of spirits cause this. While I've certainly felt the "tingly" "electric", and cold, numb "goosebumpy" feelings that others have mentioned here, I've also felt some other types of sensations. I've had cold droplets of water sprinkled on me a few times over the years, (indoors, no leaky roof or anything). The first time it happened, I was laying in bed and a drop fell right on my forehead – it was very cold water, and there was nothing overhead that could have caused it.

Another time a fine spray hit me on the side of the head, on my temple. My wife has had this happen to her as well. Also, on a few occasions, both my wife and I have felt a jet or puff of air blown on our heads, in our hair (indoors, windows closed). It was a puff of air like you would feel if someone was above you trying to blow air on your head through pursed lips. It was a narrow jet of air and had a vibrating quality to it (almost like one would expect if a hummingbird was hovering over their head, but with a bit more force.)

On some occasions, we've smelled a floral smell in the house, as though someone brought in a bouquet of fresh flowers. A couple of times, the house smelled like someone lit a candle. We first started experiencing these things when my wife was pregnant with our first child, and they were more common when our two daughters were very young. We've moved a few times and these experiences have followed us – so they don't seem specific to one location. Although less common now, we still experience these things once in a while, although it's usually just a mild tickling or "electric" sensation in our hair once in a while. Has anyone else felt these types of things? What do you make of this?

Hi everyone, I'm not sure how this works but here goes. Here's my first experience that I believe I was visited by a spirit; in the fallof '08, I don't remember exactly, i was sleeping one night like normal then all of a sudden in the middle of the night I begin to sort of wake up and and all of a sudden I hear like this a roaring noise like when you jump into a pool and all the water rushes around you, anyways that happens to me and then like what's been said. I open my eyes and I see this shadow-dark figure standing above me and it gets vague here like I THINK he tried to grab me or something (this happened when I still shared a room with my twin sister, this has never happened to her) and I tried to move or scream but I couldn't and I shut my eyes (that's the only way I can move) and then the man is gone.

That's my first experience, and then a like 4 or 5 months ago it happened to me again. I had moved into my new place by now for a couple of months now. This is what happened, I had just fallen asleep and then all of a sudden I get that roaring noise in my ears again and I realized what was happening to me again so I tried to move again couldn't. Then all of a sudden, I get this tugging feeling like on my right side, I peek through my eyes and it''s a boy about 7 or 8, and hes saying to me, "Come play with me, come play with me."  Then he's shaking my legs and he's gone, but then not even 5 min later he comes back (still can't move) but on my left side and he whispers into my ears like 3 thimes "He's coming to get me, help me, save me, help me" then he's gone. Could someone please explain if I was really visited by spirits? And if yes what does this mean for me? Also this all happened in the same house, the house is only 5 or 6 years old, my family is the first to move into it. Please someone tell what is going on, I'm terrified to sleep now in my house/room. Everytime I hear anything late at night, no matter what, I can't sleep now.

Alicia (and to anyone else who is afraid when they feel spirits around them),

I hope you get this. Don't be afraid because that will give the spirits power. They are probably not trying to hurt you. I have a presence in my house who likes to watch me and sometimes she tries to get really close and touch me. Whenever I feel her get too close, I just tell her to stop. Be confident and say "Please leave me alone. I don't want you to touch me." Most of the time, this should work. Just be sure of yourself when you say this. After you tell them this, go on with what you were doing.

The same thing goes for if they are talking to you and you want them to stop.

Hi all,

I think I've had visions and felt the presence of spirits as well, however I'm a very skeptical person, and don't like to believe it. I was in a car accident with my mother back in 2001, and I think I was unconscious when I had a vision of a woman dressed in white smiling at me, she was sort of floating in the air and smiling constantly. I asked her "why are you smiling, can't you see I'm dying?" she didn't reply, but just kept smiling. Then I woke up, and noticed the airbag had opened, so I figured it was just my airbag. Another time, as I climbing up the stairs at my old house, I suddenly saw my mom's dead aunt sitting in our couch, I freaked out, and my heart was beating really fast, I felt very scared, and had immense anxiety. In another occasion, I visited Eastern Europe and I went to see some ancient ruins, as I was standing there, I felt the presence of spirits, I suddenly had this vision of a young woman and a young man laughing with each-other and running around me. They were dressed in white, and they were just laughing and playing with each-other. Their presence made me feel good, but also strange. I didn't say a word to anyone though.

I also dream every night, sometimes I have very bad nightmares. Most times, I can feel presences. I get a shivery feeling down my spine, and I look around me, but no one's there. Is this normal, do any of you know why this happens to me???

Jamie W — Great story, thanks for sharing.

Dennis — Yes, phantom smells are very common.  So is the mild tickling or "electric" sensation (thought to be connected to when a spirit touches you).  Cold droplets of water, however, are more unusual.  After ruling out a leaky roof or HVAC problems, it could be connected to condensation from ectoplasm, apparitions, cold spots, mist, etc.

Jessica — Good advice.  If you are ever uncomfortable with something that a spirit is doing (banging things, turning lights on and off, touching you, etc.), tell them to stop in a respectful but confident way.  Most spirits are completely harmless, and some of them are unaware that they have died/passed on.

The smell of flowers, especially roses, is said to be associated with the Virgin Mary…that is a good thing.

Is it true that 'prime hour' is at 3:00am, when most ghost activity is active? If that's the case, could this be the reason for my feeling this bad feeling in my room at night as well as the feeling of being watched? Is it actually a spirit or paranoia- expecting it to happen?

I've had a few experience with spirits and for the most part those experiences have happened between 3-4am. Another question: Other than orbs, it is true that people can see ther personified ghost/ spirit? And if so…can only some people see spirits and then others not? I have seen some spirits, yet people around me have not.

I don't believe in ghosts, nor have I really ever. I am not a religious person, I don't believe in God or the devil, and I consider myself an open minded person, and I ascribe to Buddhist philosophy more than anything.

However, last night, I had an experience which still freaks me out a little. Between 2-3 in the morning, I had trouble sleeping and I would toss and turn. As I lay on my back, I would feel my body become very stiff and I would get really uncomfortable. I was still awake, but my body was stiff and I couldn't move. I felt very weird and I felt like someone was there. So I forced myself awake and got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I went back to bed, left my door open and went back to sleep. Again, before I could fall fully asleep, my body became stiff again and I couldn't move again, but I was aware of what was going on around me. I saw something near me, like a shadowy looking figure, but I was thinking that maybe it was all in my head. I still didn't like the feeling, so I got up again and went to the kitchen for a snack….

I went into my room a third time and went back to bed again. This time I felt stiff AND cold. I saw a shadowy figure again, and I swear to all of you, i started shivering. My jaw started cackling like a wound up toy mouth….I was shivering, then i woke myself up again, and I was like "wtf" I knew something wasn't right. I tried to get my dog to sleep in my room with me, but he was in the living room already knocked out sleeping.So I decided to open my window shades to let some light in, and fell asleep facing the wall with my blankets covering me completely, even though my room was stuffy. I don't exactly understand what happened, but I just know…someone was in my room last night sitting on my bed right next to me. I don't know who. I would have dismissed this experience as a hallucination caused by lack of sleep if it weren't for the fact that I was shivering in my room which is always stuffy as hell.

Today I spoke in my room saying that I know someone is here, and to please leave me in peace. I need to sleep, i have a long full time job and a lot of things to take care of. I asked this presence to please respect my private time and my rest. I need it, I suffer from insomnia very often. I don't know what else to do, but I do know that I lived here for five years and have been fine.

I am not making any of this up, but It's hard for me to believe in any of it, because I don't. But then again, if this was real and not all in my head (don't know how I can hallucinate about being cold) then at least that would confirm that there is life after death, and death does not equate to absolute non-existence, something far scarier than any ghost lol.

Peace be with you all

Hello everyone, I want to share my story. My whole life, I've been followed, by this spirit or perhaps spirits. When I was about 2 or 3 I distinctly remember waking up in bed/crib, terrified, having about 6-8 stereotypical ghost figures in a circle around me, (by stereotypical I mean KKK outfit-looking except more like a veil..a lacy veil cloak outfit covering everyones faces) and as I was freaking out trying to scream, the "leader" or the ghost directly in front of me touched my forehead. Ever since, I could feel spirits..I know something is following me. I have lived in a total of 2 houses neither of them have been old if that makes sense. And I've always gotten that someone is watching you sensation. ALWAYS. When I am alone. And I always see those subtle "objects" moving very fast, not solid enough to be described as an object but like if something was moving and I see vertical strands of light but it's very very subtle. I figure nothing means harm because Im 15 now, and it probably would have tried to hurt me or whatever if it meant to.

Most importantly the main reason I am here, ever since I moved (new establishment) about when I was in 6th grade, the sensations and observations weren't very strong but just recently in the course of..about 8 months..I've been feeling something strong in my basement coming from the closet containing all the household maintenance appliances. It watches me..and it makes a rattling noise like if you were tapping on a can. It does this like every minute..pretty much. It would make this noise for 15-20 seconds and I would feel warm spots in my feet plus I start to see "movements". When my dog is down there, she starts to stare fearfully at the direction of the stairs which is where I see most of the movements.

Also to note, in front of the closet is a very old couch that belonged to my Jewish grandmother of my father's side who had the gift. She and everybody on my dad's side has passed away besides my uncle who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia 35 years ago ever since he and my father messed around with ouiji boards, he would talk to demons a lot. So could anybody tell me what's going on with me? And to add, the oddly hot sensations I feel are usually in my feet, when I am in bed I feel something tickling my foot ocassionally…like right now!! I am also a very lonely depressed person, growing up as an only child, seeing the world in a big-picture mentality..being alone in a crowd, perhaps that may have a stimulation to it?

Every since I was very young I've been seeing ghosts. My mom is a medium and I've been practicing contact with spirits ever since I've known what they were. Most of the activity I see are orbs and mists. It's really amazing in my room also as I can see small glimpses of orbs cascade around my ceiling fan and the quiet regular shadow or mist at the foot of my bed. There is this one spirit which I call 'Buddy' that every night would (and still does) tap my ceiling fan around 9pm-10pmEST. Before I couldn't see him until one night as I was watching my orbs or rather the 'light show' I used to call it when I was younger. I saw a rather huge orb rush at my ceiling fan. Within a second later, I heard the tap. It started me so much because of the size of it. He looked like a comet shooting from the top of my attic door.

Now I am going to college 75miles away in a town called Lock Haven. There is a LOT of spiritual activity here since this town was founded in the 1700's. Very close to my school there is an old cemetery. Around 1am, my one friend from high school and I went up to the cemetery to see if we could see anything. What we caught was wonderfully amazing and scary. We caught just in the entrance alone we caught over 30 orbs floating on the outside and in the inside. I went closer to the stone gate to see if I could get more photos and luckily (but a bit frighting since an apparition never approached me while materialized). I see a girl standing on the hill walking towards me.

She continued to walk to me until almost 10 feet in front of me when I panicked and ran the opposite direction. This was only a year ago during my first semester of college and it still gives me the chill of excitement and mystery. I have her picture and also in the back ground seems to be another figure and a huge amount of orb activity. I am enamored with the paranormal and I can't wait to go out to another little ghost hunt. ([{Camera I used *which I find is the best digital camera to use* is a Canon PowerShot A560}]) 

Anyone else have any experiences like this? If so tell me. Nothing like a good ghost story! =)

Tapping omg me too. I am now 47 and when I was younger like in my 20’s every time I went down south, and it didn't matter where I stayed, in the middle of the night I was awaken by a tapping on my mattress or a pushing on it. I would look and nothing and as soon as I lay back down it would start again. In the morning, I told my grandmother about it and the look on her face frighted me. She told me it was death, and I need to go back home. When I got back to the north (phila) it doesnt happen. To read that someone else was going to this was a relief. I just returned from the south last week and it happened at a best western. Can anyone help on telling me wtf.

I had a similar experience, shortly after I moved into my current home. The only difference was the blankets were being pulled off. But you're right, it makes a russly or crinkly noise that in the middle of the night is very easy to hear! After some research, personal interviews, a bout with an ouija board and a visit from G.L.A.S.S. (Great Lakes Area Spiritual Society) I found out that my home, built by a dutch immigrant family, was occupied from 1885 to 1948 by the first son, who also built the creamery next door. He ran the creamery as a sucessful business from 1895 to 1915, when he ran into a spot of trouble. He was having a dispute over an overdue account when the two came to blows. Unfortunately, he picked up a board that had a nail sticking out of it and hit the other man in the head. The injury caused the man's death and my dutch man was forced to give up his business.

After learning more of this man, I am convinced he is my "ghost". Activity increased when my children were younger or when there were renovations done. Activity decreased when I (feeling like a fool) explained out loud that I had nothing but respect for the work that had gone into the house and intended to maintain it in a fashion that was fitting. The only other time I "felt" things was when I was undergoing treatment for cancer and the medication felt more like death than the illness.During those times I would feel someone sitting with me or smell something like fabic softener or my light would go off when I really should have been trying to sleep. Advice? Talk nice, make peace and rest assured that death is not the end.

There was a time when I spotted a blonde woman walking across her front lawn early one morning. By the time I blinked again she was gone. I knew that it was many years ago she lived there. Don't ask me how I knew..I just did. I read somewhere that when we die we remain where we felt most comfortable. Maybe that's why I saw her there.

I have felt presences around me many times. I even felt "someone" brush against my shoulder as they passed right by me. When I look around there's no one there. Every so often I feel a presence around me but unlike what other people say…spooky things don't happen. Strangely, the presence that I feel is never a bad one. It never spooks me.

There was once a time when the inside of the frame of a photograph on my wall kept getting wet. No matter how many times we took that picture down and dried it…it just kept getting wet. But, only the inside of the glass frame…not the picture. The moisture never affected the picture! After a while we just left it alone and soon enough the water didn't come back.

I've been alone and sensed things and the only evidence that I had that something was around was that my 2 cats would simultaneously stop what they were doing and stare in the same direction…transfixed until the presence left. Yet again I was not spooked. What do you guys think?

Hi the same thing that happened to sheryl happened to me. my best friends father was in the hopital dying of cancer and i really wanted to go see him before he died. so the same day i had planned to go see him i woke up at 7.am but was still in bed because i wanted to continue sleeping when all of a sudden i felt someone/presence in my room, then i felt a dent or some sort of pressure on the side of my bed like someone had just sat down. i thought it was my son or daughter trying to get me to get out of bed and were sneaking up on me. but it was all quiet and i just lay there waiting for either one to say the words "mommy get out of bed" but there was none, so i turn around to face the door and there was no one there, and the door was closed. so what really freaked me out was that when we got to the hospital, we got lost, so i called my friend to ask her for more information and she told me that her dad had passed away that same sunday morning around 3-4 am. i was so devastated, because i was unable to say goodbye to him. now i think that it was him who sat in my bed to tell me goodbye.

I've been living in an apartment for a year now, and it seems like it's impossible to get to sleep without Ambien in my bedroom. There is unrest, I kinda feel like something's making my skin itch, like some force passing thru me… I see nothing, but my girlfriend insists on it being dead people around. Now I don't really care other than I wanna have my apartment to myself and I want to be able to sleep in a sound and good way, without medications. So I'm looking for someone to advise me to get rid of the friggin annoyance in this place. Maybe even just someone to ask the right questions so I know if these are in my head or not.

Oh my goodness. I have been experiencing this for the last year. I am so relieved to have found that someone other than myself has had these experiences. I have not lost an animal and my boyfriend died last year in November but the experiences were happening prior to him passing. It's as though I was being prepared by some presence and now even after I have moved it has followed me to my new location. So it's obviously intended to have some type of reliationshi with me either a ghost or guardian angel. Would love to know wha??. It sometimes shakes my bed and other times walks around me and yet at other times I feel a comfortable pressure of energy around my legs, feet or back. Have tried to communicate to no avail.

I have been feeling a presence since my husbands father passed, and then my Great Grandma passed a year later. I have always noticed things going on. You will know when there is a spirit around. Just this morning after I sent my son to school, I had fallen back to sleep, I was so very tired cause my 7 month old didn't sleep well that night, so when I went back to sleep, i fell into a deep sleep, and felt my body shaking and all of a sudden even though I was asleep, I felt a presence in the room. It was kinda creepy, but I was OUT.

It is the cat you have loved and lost. If not, it is a cat that had died around there… If you go lay on your bed and call him the way you used to he will come and you will feel it. The pressure is his way of communicating with you. Sometimes you will feel him purring. Sometime it will be more intense than other times. You may also feel him kneading. He just wants your attention like he always did.

hi my step sister passed away just about a year ago and i do not live at home anymore cause i can not stay there. she didn't pass away in the house but when ever i sleep there, my body goes in to a deep sweat and i cannot sleep. its cold but sweating. my heart races and i become very scared to the point where i do not sleep at nite. the same thing happened when i stay at my grandfather's place when he passed away and i find myself feeling watched and when ever i can feel somthing around i get very scared and uncomfortable and feel very aware of every sound movement, anything. and its always been like this for me every since i was little. i was always curious about it, but super scared at once. why is this? can anyone help me please

I had a strange occurance yesterday. It maybe nothing but my 7 yr. old has autism and she is non-verbal. We were at an occupational therapy session with her therapist. We were in a therapy room at the place were she gets therapies. I was present along with her therapist. My daughter was into the session happy and laughing sitting in a chair at a table then suddenly her mood changed. She had goosebumps all over, turned pale and had this blank expression on her face and especially in her eyes. The room temperature was very comfortable. Then she stood up and ran over to the sink in the corner of the room and stared at the wall in back of the sink. Then we called her name and she sat back down but still had goosebumps. At that point we cut the session short. Can anyone give me any feedback?

To start with, I love this ongoing discussion about this topic. I just came across this website today. What I was trying to find out was: does hot/warm spots mean ghostly activity like cold spots do? In my friend's apartment, I noticed a "warm spot" in the kitchen that had no explainable cause for it. It was a small space of air near the counter and left of the oven/stove (that was not on, nor had it been on all morning). She told me that she hadn't noticed it but said, "I didn't have a problem with ghosts until you moved back up here." She is refering to a ghost in the home that we both work in.

I had asked her if she had ever "saw anything that you had no explaination for". She told me, "No. I was about to ask you if you had heard anything that you had no explaination for". I told her no. She said that she had heard a scratching noise in the hallway, one night when all of the residents were all in bed asleep. But when she checked it out, there was no sign of anything ever being there to cause the sound. It gets better.

A week later, she had told me to go to a local State Farm office to get a auto insurance quote. I went there and the agent that I talked to had just started that week. She asked who had refered me to them. When I gave her my friend's name, she said, "Oh yes, she called and got a quote earlier this week." When she found out where I was working and what home I was working in, she told me, "My grandmother was the original owner of that house." I then asked her if she believed in ghosts. She said yes. I asked if anyone had died at the house. She said, "My grandfather did." That's when I told her, "I think your grandfather may still be around the house." She was pleased o hear this. I told my friend this and she said, "I never called her for an insurance quote" (why would she have, she hasn't had a car in two years). It gets even better.

At work, we were told to make sure the house cordless phone was no longer working before they would but us a new one. We charged it for 24 hours; tried to call out; got no dial tone; and threw the phone and the base in the trash. As I was leaving at the end of my shift carrying out the trash bag, I heard a phone ring. I knew it wasn't coming from the temporary house phone on the counter, because the sound was closer, and I ruled out that it was from my cell phone. the ringing was coming – from the trash bag! Before I could untie the bag, the ringing had stopped. My instant thought was that something had hit the phone finder button on the base unit (but this couldn't have happened because the base didn't get charged/no power and there was no phone line connected to it!)I went out the door and was headed to the trash can in the carport, when the ringing started again! The ringing stopped again before I got the bag untied. The phone did not ring again, and there was no "voice message from the beyond". I believe that someone was just trying to get my attention. And they did. Maybe it was to encourage me to continue with "my calling" in the area of psychic awareness. I'm going with that.

I have another story, that is not about a ghost but a watchful protecter in the night. I was heading home after visting my relatives for Christmas six years ago. I knew the trip would take me at least five hours. Problem was that my car stereo has one of those removal security face plates, and one of the plastic locking tabs had broken off.

Many times the stereo would turn off or on when I would hit a bump in the road. Also, the lighted display would usually only stay on for about three minutes and then go out. Knowing this, I decided to turn it on and hope for the best on the long trip home alone in the night. Not only did the stereo not turn off for the entire trip, the lighted display stayed on as well, and neither could I turn off except when I shut off the car engine.

I had been attending a spritualist church meeting for two months before making this trip, which was led by a psychic minister. when I attended the next service, I told the minister and the small group of attendees my story, and that I believed that someone had been with me that night and was watching over me. He had made contact with that spirit, which was of my deceased mother (someone who I had a close relationship with, that we were also buddies – she had died at 40 years of age, 13 years earlier). He was laughing. I asked him what was funny. He told me, "She said that she wanted to sit in the front seat next to you, but you had too much stuff in the seat!" I had told no one that I usually put all of my food, drinks, snacks, and other stuff in the front passenger seat when I went on trips. I know that she has been around me, before then and still is today.

I also believe that we live many lives, not just the one that most religions claim, for the purpose of experiencing a human life – that cannot be fully experienced in one lifetime, just as learning in school takes more than one year – and not "spiritual" as in religious servitude (with or without a middleman – the church).

Hi!  A month ago, me and my husband were getting ready to go to sleep…I felt him moving I was not asleep yet… I felt him getting up and turning off the alarm didn't know why. then few minutes later i felt him moving his head up and down then he woke me up… he told me that he was a black shadow pulling back either an angel or a women that he felt was trying to tell him something.. i told him to draw it out ….then a few minutes later he said its ok i see a bright light now… i was really creeped out…. ever since that day, most nights I feel him. weird. he starts turning all the lights off because he says he feels he has to or someone is telling him and he sees better at night when that happens or his body gets chills and his eyes get red and watery.. i need to understand what's happening to him and this happens always after 12:00am. he says he feels like his day is coming or either they're fighting for his soul. another thing is i know we have a guardian angel …my baby passed away 8 months ago and we had a cremation. the only thing is that we have her ashes at home, is that ok? please help.

Hi,

I recently visited a family graveyard rumored to be haunted. I went in the evening time, dusk, and always when entering a cemetery I feel as though everyone buried there knows I am there. Its like walking out of one room that is peaceful and into another room that is crowded with people paying attention to you, knows your there, not necessarily watching you. What is this? email me back if you want at chazoshark@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Chaz

HI everyone, I know that this could sound a little foolish but the world isn´t suchlike the most people think. There are some strange things – ghost, I saw she – it was a girl, maybe young woman and I´ve never ever felt like that. She stood by the mirror and I felt very strange – I felt numb, my heart was breaking on a thousand pieces and it was running so fast, I got a shivers down my spine..it was so terrible..Since then I´ve not seen a ghost. I´ve just felt them…

Ever since I can remember from being a small child, I have always "felt" like someone was there watching me, usually when I am alone or at night mainly. I sleep with lights on and can't sleep when I am alone in the house. I have had issues with ghosts and encounters with them. I have felt someone brush my hair, like run their hand through it recently. It doesnt matter where I am, who's house I am in I alwyas feel like someone/something is there. Also two things have happened to me twice that freaked me out. I was falling asleep, froze and heard something whisper in my ear "die, die, die" and also when I falling asleep, everything was in the exact same place in my dream but I felt like something/someone was on top of me crushing me, and pushing my face into a pillow and my husband in my dream was trying to pull me out of bed but couldnt. My husband thinks I'm paranoid but this really does scare me sometimes. Do you think I am nuts or something is there?

Hi, i am sure i have a ghost in my house. One time i was watching tv and a mans voice asked me to turn around. when i did nothing was there. Today while i was naping but not fully sleeping i felt like someone was walking around me like a cat on my bed, and then all of a suden i couldnt move or say anything. Once i finally could say say something i told him/her to stop. What do you think?

Hey Guys,

I just moved into my new apartment about 2 months ago. It was a place my boyfriend rented, in a house that was built in 1830. I never really noticed anything in the house until recently. I won't say that I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe they are few and far between. When I was a child, I used to ask my parents about a nurse that would visit me at night. They assured me there was no nurse that they had visiting me. It turns out there was an old man who died in our house, and I believe maybe that nurse was his nurse before he passed.

Anyway… a couple of weeks ago, my son started getting really scared of being anywhere in the house alone. Especially at night. He said that he can hear the ghosts. We tried explaining to him that he was just hearing our neighbors.

The night before last, I was sleeping in his room with him because my boyfriend is out of town on business, and when he leaves, my son and I have "sleepovers." I woke in the middle of the night a couple of times. Once, completely shaking. Another, with what they call Sleep Paralysis. I've woken to the SP many more times than I can count, but I never think much of it.

Well yesterday, after discussing the ghosts with my boyfriend, he asked me if I had seen the man. Absolutely NO CLUE what he was talking about. Apparently my boyfriend is very aware of surrounding spirits and said that the ones in our apartment mean no harm. This man, however, he said was from a different time, with Victorian era clothing perhaps. And that he had only seen him in the bathroom adjusting his cuffs.

Now yesterday afternoon, my son was in the bathroom and he came running out asking me if I just used a silly voice to talk to him. I said no and that he just heard the neighbors. He said "No, mommy. They said my name and giggled." From that point on, I kept my son by my side all night. More for my comfort than his, as he wasn't scared.

I awoke again last night a couple of times to the body shaking, scared feeling. And thought I saw something standing by the window one of those times. But all it was, was a color. The color red.

I don't know what any of this means. I am not scared of ghosts. I don't believe they can harm me. My boyfriend thinks that they are just bored because our apartment went unoccupied for so long. And that they like my son and just want to play. I feel if I could actually see these spirits, or communicate with them in some way, I'd be less frightened. My boyfriend also believe that they like having us there.

Any thoughts on any of this?

On a side note, probably not important. There are ladybugs flocking to the window in my son's bedroom. Now science says that the ladybugs are just thirsty. Faith says they are bringing good luck. Now they are all dead on the inside window sill of my son's bedroom. It's the only area in the house where they die. Perhaps they fear the ghosts?

Any input would be awesome. Thanks guys.

that happened to me.

Carrie, thank you is all i can say.

i'm reading alot on here that people are waking at 3.00am and onwards, ive been told that this is the devil's hour. what does everyone else think to this?

I live with my aunt and uncle and when I'm alone in my bedroom as I'm on my computer I feel like there is someone behind me and I get a weird tingle all over my body and I try to ignore it. When I'm laying on my bed trying to go to sleep I feel very tingly all over my body. I stay still and try to sleep.

During the day when I'm alone as I walk around the house I feel a presence in some parts of the house. I never tell my aunt or uncle because I don't want to sound like I'm losing my mind.  I am more open and seems that they are closed. Some people can sense things, and others can't.

My son has felt a presence since he was a little boy (he's now 20), and last night he was in his room and felt someone hold his ankles and he couldn't get up, when he finally got out of his room and came to me he was shaking and his heartbeat was out of control. I've read several stories on this website, but has anyone determined why and what causes these feelings of the presence of another being in their rooms?

Well, I'm 14 years old, and have been living in the same house for 14 years now. Just a coulpe of years ago my parents switched rooms with me. Well, in my old room I ALWAYS had expierences. My toys(when i was little)would always come on and off, i would have lots of bad dreams(mostly about ghost), i would feel someone following me out of the room, i would hear voices every now and then, and I used to be VERY scared to sleep in that room. Once i switched rooms those things stopped happening.But i would always be, and STILL am scared to be in that room. But my friend, just last year, brought over a Oujia board. Then i got one soon after. Since we got the oujia board I always felt a presence of ghost or ghost's. At night i feel someone touching me and sometimes possibly laying with me. I dont feel Cold Spots.. I feel Hot Spots. Sometimes i get chills, and I hear people talk sometimes. I remeber i was petting my dog outside and she was looking up like someone was there. Then in my head i heard someone say "It's Raining" then i looked up and it started to rain! I always feel ghosts around me. I dont really get scared, but i want to know if they are "bad entitys" or what not. I hear people talk about everyday. It's very weird! :)

hi. i hope someone responds to my comment. i am 16 years old. i haven't seen any ghosts or spirits but i think i can sense them. i am not sure if i am actually sensing them or i am just losing my mind. you see, our house have been renovated last 2006. we found bombs from the world war ii burried under the house. of course we got rid of them. the construction was just finished this year. i think this is the reason why i can sense ghosts. sometimes i hear bumps from the bedroom. i have an uneasy feeling when i am alone in the house. i can't see any ghosts nor have i tried to communicate with them. right now i don't know what to do, i don't even know if this is a ghost.

I too have been in bed and felt someone lay down next to me and when I look, there is no one there and it frightens me but I eventually go back to sleep because I feel that there is not much to do to change it . What on earth is this?? and why me?

I live in a new home, and have lived here since it was built 20 some years ago. About 15 years ago, I thought I saw a shadow of thin man sitting in the living room – I could tell he was a thin man, but when I refocused, he was no longer there. I did not feel fear.

Just now, I was in my bedroom watching television, and I first saw a shadow of a man by my bedroom door, as if briefly looking into the bedroom, then he walked quickly away – but get this, I HEARD the floor creak. I was sure it was my son or husband, so I called out – but neither were home. Again, I didn't feel fear – but am wondering what's going on.

I had a rather strange ghost encounter. I was sharing an upstairs loft with my sisters and her baby. I was 9 months pregnant and i woke up to 3 men and one woman in some type of old looking millitary garb, standing over me. They were poking at my pregnant belly. I was sooo scared and i was sleeping at the edge of the bed. I froze, i couldn't move at all.  I almost fell off the bed.  As soon as i could, i pulled the blankets over my head and started praying. I knew i wasn't dreaming because my niece was crying at that same time. I heard rumors that someone commited suicide up there, but i didn't know for sure. The elderly neighbors were also concerned when the kids were digging in the back yard for worms, they never said why. Also,every picture taken in that house had numerous orbs, one of mine was directly on my forehead and i was wondering if that is because i was touched by one of those ghosts!  I am definately a believer!  I will never forget that night!

Ghosts are among us, as you know.  We may become one of them.  You don't have to kill yourself to be one.  You can talk with them, even they get lonely.

I've lived in this house for 10 years and never saw anything, it has had a happy vibe about it . Until I have just started a home day care and have started seeing a child ghost and have never talked about it in front of my children as not to scare them, until the other day my oldest daughter came out and said I thought I saw some one playing with the blocks on the floor. It has been around for about 3 months.  I do not know why this child is here, and how do I talk to it to find out?

For the past few weeks, i have been having crazy dreams, and i KNOW for a fact that i have spirits within me. but for some weird reason, i have been waking up in the middle of the night, with pain going through my whole body, and i have been waking up in the morning to a ghost/spirit trying to urge me to go somewhere with him/her. what do i do about it?

when you go to bed at night, and have that feeling like someone is sleeping next to you, but nobody is there, it ususally means that you have a "soothing spirit" with you. just making sure that you're ok. if you've been stressed out, and have that feeling like your not safe, sometimes spirits will sooth you and try to help you. some people might get chest pains, like they have weights on their shoulders because the spirit is probably holding on to you and protecting you. this might sound crazy, but try talking to your spirit, you might get chills or have a physical reaction, but thats just their way of responding like "hey im here, its okay"

I honestly don't know myself. Because I myself am an extremely hardened atheist and I do not believe in anything paranormal or anything of the spiritual realm, but just recently I have had a strange occurrence and a really crazy one at that. I was all alone in my room watching a movie at around 12: 30 midnight taking a break from programing my camcorder. It was 97 degrees because that's what I had my thermostat set on. Anyways, while I was watching a movie I got up to use the bathroom and I went into the living room for a second and suddenly when I went back into my room It was cold! I felt nothing like 97 degrees it wasn't even room temp. It was flat out cold. Being in my state of mind, I assumed I did not seal my window but when I looked at it, it was sealed tightly shut so I assumed the chill was coming from my closet so I closed it and assumed that the chill would go away but never happened. Not at first anyway till several hours later. Then after the movie I was watching went off, I went back to work on my camcorder and when I replayed my calibration recording after about 1 hour, it picked up something I could not make out.

Because of my beliefs, I refused to believe it was a ghost, maybe it was a slight malfunction with the camera and I replayed that part of it again and again trying to figure out what it was so I thought maybe I can post this on youtube (follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq-X8fEiQS4) and maybe I can get a good answer from someone hoping I get a damn good answer so I can make sure if I was going crazy or not and just last night when I was in my room, I got that cool feeling again. The temperature dropped rapidly and I had an uneasy feeling that someone… something is watching me. So earlier today I made a plan to go to the hospital to get a cat scan to really make sure that I'm not going crazy and now in one week when I get my results back, it will be the determination whether if I'm going crazy or if shit like this really happens. All I can say is if I get an answer, it better be a good one.

it's sleep paralysis!! xxx

Several months ago my Mom passed away.
From the day my Mom passed away I could feel a light tingle on my face to the back of my head and neck.
I realized over time this was the Spirit of my Mom.
Thoughts would come into my mind at times from childhood years.
Kind of like when someone brings something to your attention and you remember something you had long forgotten.
I do not feel my Mothers Spirit all the time.
But I do find comfort in knowing she cares enough to let me know even if she passed away.
Mom is still there in spirit watching over me.
Some undestand these things and others do not.
I have no fear to tell my friends and family I belive 100% confirmation has been made that this is in fact the Spirit of my Mom.
Because some of the things of my young past that was brought back to me in thought.
Only my Mother would have known the facts and I was too young to have remembered on my own.

I was living with a ghost at my old apartment. As soon as you enter the apartment there is a thick muggy hot presence that enveloped the room and your eyes automaticaly drew to where you were being watched. But even though you knew it was coming from a certain place the whole apartment felt as though it had eyes. I could get through it in the day, but at night it became scary. Sometimes during the day I would be in front of the fridge and it would poke me on the back. It felt like a human beings finger dug into my back but no one was there. Then at night I saw it fly across my ceiling, next to me was bitter cold and sometimes a slight light would radiate. There was one experience when I was in the shower..it opened the door and watched me and then left 10 minutes later. Just before I completely wake up is the worst. My neck was exposed and it poked me in the neck quite hard. Again, it felt like a human being just poked me with its finger but nothing was there. I laid in bed thinking and it laid on top of me. I felt a rib cage and teh weight of an actual human lay on me but nothing was there and I jumped up and screamed as it kind of squashed me and I couldnt breathe. At night I felt a human arm across my chest and breathing on my face. I got used to it but it still scares me now that I have left.

well its 1:38 am. i was doing my hair becuse i dont have time in the moring well as i was doing my hair the miorr was shaking then i open the door becuse i was scared well i came back and said well its late im just seeing stuff well as i was doing my hair i felt my shoulder hurting like some one was pulling me down but i ignore it well then as im typeing right now i feel like some one is watching me by the door and im getting really freaked out, so please tell me what is it. am i going crazy, or is it real?

My family has, as long as I can remember, been surrounded with people who can not pass on(ghost). For the most part I have learned to adjust to them and treat them as if they were apart of the family reprimanding them as if they were just another sibling annoying me. Well, lately at night when I go to sleep I will get this pressure on my body making me feel as if I can not move at all and when I wake up I still feel this pressure and when I try to scream I cant move. I have no Idea what is going on. But I do not get the same feeling I do when it is all the others that are around. When I asked my mother about this she said that my uncle an my aunt had told her about dreams they had like this all the time (but they didn't believe it was really dreams) what does this type of occurrences mean?

Hello My name is Kim Welcome to the paranormal world I found out last year that I have the opportunity to be a strong psychic spiritual medium and since last year have ghost contact around me 24/7 so I understand It can be pretty daunting,since last year strange paranormal events have happened to me in my london flat and are still happening and not just in my flat but also my parents house.I have the opportunity to see,sense,feel and hear spirits,if they approach me or are very close I am very hot almost to sweating point but as they come nearer or are around me,standing next to me,infront of me,or behind me there is a cool breeze,if they pass me on the stairs there is a huge breeze.If the ghosts hug me I usually gasp and if they hold my hand then my hand is freezing cold,my ghosts especially the children enjoy sitting on my lap if I am either on the laptop or watching television they are also known to lie with their head resting on my chest if I am reading either in bed or on a chair sometimes I have to ask them to move a bit If I am sweating and they are happy to cooperate.I always find someone sitting on the end of my bed or chair or lying beside me on the bed during the day and night.The Children enjoy moving items ie shoe repositioning and other pranks aswell as my adults and will do anything to gain my attention.I have been told I have the ability to tap into the spirit world whenever I wish,be spiritually powerful,open doors of the afterlife,see beyond the veil,be a very strong ghost attractor which means I have the ability to pick up energies very quickly and be able to have the opportunity to tune into their feelings and talk to them and hopefully help them if I can and have the opportunity to have my spirit guides and angels work with me while I perform ghost rescue when necessary if they wish to cross over.I feel I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to be heavily guarded by all my spirit guides 24/7 and all my angels but because I have the opportunity to have ghost contact 24/7 I make sure that I divide my time in other words I have to take time out for myself and literally shut down and ground myself.As having ghosts around you 24/7 can really drain you as they take your energy.My big Advice is to anyone dealing with or seeing paranormal is try not to show fear I know it is not easy to say but ghosts feed on fear,plus do NOT attempt to do ghost rescue if you do not know what your doing,it can be dangerous ask someone who knows what they are doing,It is NOT a Harry Potter Film it is REAL and your safety and the publics safety is Paramount.You are welcome to email me at wellskim@live.co.uk. if you wish to have more questions answered and I will try and help.Keep safe.

Hello Kim, I hope you do not mind me using your first name as I do not know your surname re your story in july 15th 2008 mentioning you heard a voice and the answer is No you are not in any uncertain terms going crazy, you have a gift called clairaudiency in paranormal terms, Ghosts are able to speak to us and some of us have been blessed to either see,sense,hear and talk to ghosts.if you are wondering why are I know this you may like to read my experiences I have within the spiritual world 24/7 under Kim Wells december 19th 2009.You mentioned that you lit a candle and the candle was relit and the television went on and off as far without trumatizing you you have a visitor, At the beginning of my paranormal events I had the same happen to me not with the television but my light switches would be flickering and I had an electric shock from one of my plugs then I had cards falling off my mantlepiece by themselves,shoes being repositioned and coats being moved then I saw more paranormal events and am still seeing hearing and talking to them to this day around the clock.

Ghosts can gain the livings attention in anyway they can and they can disrupt electrical equipment. I live with my 12 Casper friends and they know when to not push me too far. To answer the question why you felt so hot and yet the room is cool a ghost/spirit has to use your energy and the nearer they get to you the hotter you become as the ghosts/spirits are taking your energy away from you,you can ask them nicely to move back abit just use an ordinary speaking voice and they will hopefully cooperate,one of my twelve ghosts especially the children lie very close to me or sit on my lap and I myself get absolutely sweaty so I have to ask them to step back,with my twelve I work with them and they work with me. Before you do anything re talking to a ghost you must protect yourself that is absolutely paramount, pretend you're wrapped in a robe of light nothing can harm you. Remember you have more power than them.I hope I have been of some help if you wish to ask me more questions you are most welcome and able to email me anytime. But there maybe a time difference as I live in England. Keep safe           

Hi. i am really happy i found this site, so i can finally share with people who believe in ghosts. ok this is about 3 years, i have feelings very strong feelings that ghosts are in my room and i am being watched alot. i can't even sleep. i hear sounds and i feel when they touch me and wake me up. everytime i try to tell someone, no body belives me. about one year ago, i lost my uncle. he was very very infinitely dear to me, and i've seen him alot alot of times. i just sit down and talk to him!! ok so what do you think? is it true? what should i do?  i want to see my uncle, but i want to get my room back.

I have been feeling a presence in my house like someone is there. I have seen something out of the corner of my eye like a figure of a man. I was affraid to say anything to anyone THENNNNN-My son came down stairs and said he saw a black shadow of a person going toward my bedroom. He also has seen the black silhouette of this man (shadow on the wall) leaving his room. He had the dog outside and said he has seen in the upstairs window an arm go by the window with a white short sleeve shirt on (no one else was home).

He has been waking up in the middle of the night with scratches on his back. There were 2 very visible scratches and one faint one. Scratches were gone in the morning. A few weeks later he woke up in the middle of the night to many scratches on his back and then a couple days later more scratches. The weird thing is the scratches are gone by morning and he says they don't hurt. I have pictures of the scratches. So I know we are not losing it. I don't know really what to do as my husband does not believe us and does not believe in this kind of stuff. I didn't either until it started happening to me and my son. Our security alarm started beeping around 3:oo am and I have a trouble shooting light on the security monitor that I can't get rid of. My husband has even tried to get rid of the light and once he finds the book he may be able to get rid of it. Could be coincidence. But not the other stuff happening. Concerned.

Well, I feel chills run down my spine when I feel presences of a ghost. The thing is my grandfather passed away a couple months ago, now its getting kind of scary for me. I smell roses in random and certain places sometimes? It comes and goes, I feel like Im always watched over. My grandfather used to sit in his favorite chair, and when I sat on it, it felt warm. I could of sworn I saw shadows move? How do I know if its a ghost or spirit? And what should I do, to overcome my frightness of ghosts?

I am thirteen years old and ever since i moved to a certain house in North Picayune(Mississipp) when I was two and a half, I've had some pretty strange things happen to me. I lived across the street from three houses that were supposedly 'haunted'.. Nothing really happened to me till I was about seven. I was outside with my friend, and we were walking down the road past one of the 'haunted' houses and at the same time we turned and said "Someone's watching." Since there were woods where we lived, we thought it was one of our friends running through them or something. Then, I turned to look at the house (which had been very old at the time) I seen a black figure run past the window. Since we had no african american people living in the neighborhood at the time, I was pretty spooked. And things got worse from there. I would have horrible dreams about what had happened to the people who had lived in the house and why it was abandoned. I had dreams about a dark figure breaking into the house one night through a window and killing tthe elderly couple who had lived there. I had no clue how I knew that happened, but when I asked my grandfather about it, he said that's what had happened. The dreams I had were so vivid. he house next door to it was 'haunted',too. My bestfriend lived in that house.

At night, things would bump and fall all by themselves. I heard voices. Very vivid voices saying "Leave" or "help me mommy" and also "what are you doing in here daddy" all were children's voices. I was often pushed in her house, and when we would be at the end of my driveway, we would look at her bedroom window, and we would see a big white orb. It scared me to the point where I refused to go into her house. In the house next to hers, two old ladies had lived there. One had died in the back bedroom. And every night, the light would come on, then go off about an hour later. All this lasted until I was ten, and they tore the first house down, my friend moved, and someone bought the old ladies' house and started redecorating. Things got a little calmer and the voices went away. Then, in June 2007 I moved to Poplarville(Mississippi) and then things started again. The voices came back and they scared me. I was living in a nice trailer in town by the high school, but people had told me that not the nicest things have went down in the trailer I lived in. They said the couple that had lived there before were always fighting. And sure enough, the voices I heard were angry and sometimes suicidal. I would hear things like "im gona beat the sh** out of you if you don't get out of my house" and "if i don't get of out of here soon, im gonna have to kill myself before he does"..Then, my closet doors would swing open. My door to my bedroom would creak open and then close again. I would see things other people wouldn't. My mom literally thought I was crazy. Until I used my phone one night. I layed it there and it recorded everything that was said and she kind of believed me. The heaviness in my room got so bad for me that me and my mom had to change rooms. I stayed at friends house frequently because I couldnt stand the hatrid I felt in my house. No one else felt it. Except for one of my friends, who can feel, see, and hear the same things I can. Anyway, me and her talked about it and we decided to set up a video camera, and the next morning when we watched it, we saw the whole scene that went down when the couple killed each other. It seemed like they just kept pressing repeat. It went on and on and on. It finally stopped when the sun started to coming up.

But luckily, on November 25, 2008, I moved out of the house to somewhere else in Poplarville, and the voices from Picayune came back. I felt like the spirit was following me. I finally made out the ghost one night. It was a little girl, about 11 or 12, with pretty long black hair. Very pale. She looked as if she was a real person. And there was no coincedence that when I walked into my new room, opened the closet, on the floor was a chunk of long black hair. I was mortified. One day, shortly after that, I was putting up posters, I noticed long black streaks going down my wall. It looked like nail(or claw) marks. Then, the dreams came back. I had dreams about a little girl with long black hair getting off the school bus. She walked inside her house and set her bookbag down. She went outside and played with her neighbors. She came back inside around dark. Her mom and dad were at the dinner table and they told her to sit down and eat. She ate and put on her pj's and got into bed. Then her parents started fighting and she heard her mom scream. She ran out of her room and saw her mother dead on the floor. Her dad had a crazed look on his face. The little girl screamed,ran in her room, and grabbed her cell phone, ran in her closet and closed the door, and started to dial 911. Her father ran in and was screaming "Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Where are you,sweetheart?" He swung open the closet and the little girl was crying and he yanked her hair, and threw a chink of hair on the floor. He grabbed her and she ran, trying to get out by scraping the walls, but he stabbed her in the back. And she yelled "help me mommy!" and then she died. And that's when I always woke up. I heard the voices. I saw the dad's crazed look outside the window. I saw shadows. My mom's door would come open when nobody but me and my brother would be home. Then, just a few weeks ago, we moved into my deceased grandmother's house. As we left the other house for good, I seen the little girl with black hair waving. I could tell that she wasnt there to hurt me. But so far, nothing worse than hearing whispering has happened here. This has been happening since I was six or seven and I just want to know what's wrong with me. I hear things that nobody else does. I see things that people wouldn't believe. I talk to ghosts, dangit. I want to know what to do and how to handle it. I also hear and see ghosts at school. Help? Please.
-Taylor.

sometimes when im just lying in bed or sitting around in my room i'll sense something, it kinda feels like someone just entered the room, but no one is there, and about a month ago i swear i heard someone walking quietly around on some paper i had lying on the ground in my room, but when i looked, nothing. almost every night when im lying in bed trying to go to sleep, i get the feeling like somebody came in the room, could this be a ghost wandering around my house? also ive had 5 or more dreams where im living in a haunted house, they where very life like and realistic dreams.

peace out :)

My grandfather passed away back in may 8th 2002. But i know he's looking down at me. sometimes i can feel him standing next to me. I do have pictures of him and me. we were very close to one another. Whenever i needed anything i would call him for help. Like one year when i was just 19 years old i had got thrown out of the house i lived in with my mom and stepfather only because i had gotten pregnant by a black man. But anyway when i was out of food and didn't have money to buy food i called him to ask him if he could send me at least $200.00 so i could buy some groceries so i could have something to eat. Everytime i tell people this story i start feeling like crying, but that is nature for me.Only because i miss him very much. So that is my story about my grandfather who's now resting in peace and i know he is in heaven. So i know for a fact that the presences of the past do exist. Plus I believe in angels. I hope you enjoy this story.

Im 38 years old I belive in spirit and often have readings with mediums around one a month. I consider myself to be street wise and have a lot of young fashionable friends (that dont believe). I live in a house that is 150 years old and often smell a smell of male body odour near the front door. it can be any time of day. I also weekly, sometimes daily see a light or mass ball in the room (just a bit bigger than an english football) near the ceiling hovering. its normaly in one place but sometimes it is in others and I see the same light in the bedroom as I go to sleep. other times and especially more recently I see many many small lights like butterflies all round the room but I only see this In the bedroom for about five mins at most about once a month. recently in the last week or two I had an experience that was more intence than ever before. the room filled with many little lights and the shape of a white light being came and sat next to me (it didnt speak and was unrecognisable).

I woulnt say it scared me but I remember thinking this is not normal and was a bit on edge as soon as it sat down they all disapeared. just yesterday I was watching tv and my wrist went really cold as if someone with a cold hand was trying to help me up! there was no one there and I was sober and nowhere for a draft to come from. Ive lived in this house for around 8 years and although Ive seen the odd thing weekly i never wrote to anyone like this but its the last couple of things that have concerned me! is somone trying to contact me to tell me something. another thing what was weird but maybe just coincidence is that two of the mediums i see contacted me within a day of this they havnt spoke about it but i was always the one that contacted them I know that people have died in this house but from natural causes and one of my friends wont babysit because she is scared of the house. I have never felt scared always comfortable but this last week has been a little different. any advise or similar stories.  oh one more thing, we had a little cat that we had for eighteen years and the cat used to look at the ball downstairs too if it was dark and we were watching tv the cat would be looking in the other direction so when I looked the ball was there!

Could someone tell me what this means? I was asleep next to my husband and i felt something strange. i awoke and saw this dark figure with a black coat and hood. i remember trying to reach out, and it just disappeared. i tried to wake my husband but couldnt move. it was so scary. i never forgot it to this day, my husband tells me what i described was like a grim reaper.

most of the things you read happened to me, at first i felt cold spots on my walls, i thought it was the air conditioning but it was not on. so the next couple of nights i kept feeling it in my room by my bed like someone was watching over me, then when i was reading on my bed a hand touched my shoulder, not like pushing or grabbing but like a pat om my back so i started feeling comforted by this presence then i remembered that my great grandmother passed away a few months ago and the second i said great gramma a warm feeling came over me and i felt like someone was trying to hug me so i hugged the air and then a voice said "Robyn i miss you" i was so happy for the next week later

Hello,

I am 25 years old and I have read through some of the experiences on this page and I would like to share mine, because for once I don't feel crazy. I've been having what I believe to be paranormal experiences since I was a young child. I can sense energy, I see quickly moving shadows, sense that something is near me or watching me. My most vivid childhood memory of these experiences is at when I could hear footsteps and feel as if someone was breathing on my face and watching me sleep. These experiences were so common that I got in a habit of sleeping under my covers and plug my ears.

These days however, I mostly experience energy and have come a lot more sensitive to it over the years. I mostly sense negative energy. This energy feels very threatening and overwhelming, and often makes me stop in my tracks until it passes. Some people say I just freak myself out, but I sense this energy in the most random and sometimes most unlikely of times, it doesn't always have to be in a dark scarey place. For example: in one family members house I sense a very negative energy at the top of their stairs and another lighter energy by their kitchen table. The energy is always there but at different intensities from day to day. The family member later admited to hearing things in the basement just near the table. I've heard these sounds too but have never told them for fear of sounding crazy.

Anyways, please comment if you have any similar experiences, or any conformation that I am not crazy.

Thanks

My name is Pam, and I'm 15 years old. In my family, all the women have a "gift." My sister, she's Wiccan, and she can see and feel the presence of ghosts. My mom, she can feel them. I can also feel them. My nephew, he's 2 and we've noticed that he has the gift as well. We all thought that it was just a gift to the women, but because my sister is so sensitive we think that he might have it too. I've had a lot of experiences with the paranormal, or I'm pretty sure thats what it is. One day, my dad and I were at a resturant and I felt like someone was behind me, and when I turned around, no one was there. I kept feeling that the entire time we were there. I didn't feel it the next day. Then the next day I got out of the shower, and when I opened the door I felt this strong energy. It was an energy I had never felt before. It was a strong hatred, almost murderous. It really freaked me out. I ran upstairs to my bedroom and felt like this person was chasing me. When I turned around I saw a flash of white light, and I fell at the top stair. I got up and ran to my room. I told it to leave me alone and that I didn't want it there, as my mom had told me to do if I didn't want them around. I haven't felt it since. Then another time, my nephew was trying to sleep one day and out of the blue, we heard him say, "No, stop it, stop it." I had felt something, but it wasn't very strong. No sooner had my mom said she banished it, he fell asleep. Later that week, my friend and I were leaving around 7 30 in the morning. My mom was asleep and we have this toy, that if you push an animal, it will go off. No one was around the toy, and it started going off. It only went off when my friend put his hand on the doorknob to leave. When we got back around 8am it started going off again. I told it to leave, it wouildn't leave. I told it, it had one chance before I would shut the toy off. It still didn't stop. I shut off the toy, and went to talk to my mom. She said the toy was off, so the little kid must have turned it on. I've been curious as to why these things happen to me.

I've been feeling the same way since 3 months ago and its been happening constantly……i find my self getting weak every 15 to 20 mins. and my body just collapses to the floor and i feel like Im half awake and asleep…. and when i go into that state I always see a ghost and its always grabbing me and my body gets so weak like my body"s energy is being drained out of my life and when it lets go my energy comes back… but its weird I've also had it to where I've felt karma, like I feel and see myself leaving my body and I've also felt and seen my own history.

Hi I am 13 years old and i think i have the same problem in a way except I just sort of found out about it. My dad and I saw ghost whisperers on tv and we got on the subject where he said some people in my family can hear see or feel ghosts. He said I used to mention feeling the presence of someone when I was younger, and I can always feel if a deceased family member is around. I just can tell or i can feel if someone is watching me like a strong energy and time slows and gets quiet, and i either feel it or see it in my dreams. I remember feeling it but I don't remember the dream. And so I guess I don't really know what to do.

don't feel bad..I'm 58 and these things have been with since I was 7..maybe younger but I don't remember. I can remember lying in my bed not ready to sleep. As I rolled over facing my door, there appeared a large black image in the doorway. It seemed to engulf the entire door. Remeber, I was 7 or so and maybe the image seemed that large. At any rate, I rolled over and tried to go to sleep.

Over the years since then, I've had more unexplained events happen. I have learned to accept them and try to decipher what they are. Most recently, I've had times at night while asleep and felt someone within inches of my face breathing. This woke me up from a sound sleep.  And sometimes while in the shower, I've noticed finger imprints [like bruises] on both my arms in the same places on my arms. I could go on..but there ae too many to mention.

My dog has also seen things in my house. But I acredit those instances to the mirror I purchased from an Antique store. I have since taken it down and it's in my storage area.

today is 1-11-2010. my father passed away in his sleep new years eve morning. He lived with me, I helped my mom care for him. She had no signs he was going to bed and never waking up. my mother spoke to him about 3:30 am then went back into his room about 5am and he was cold. since he passed away in my house, could his sprit still be here, or him watching over us? I have a cat that is real shy, but has been acting real strange. he was even laying next to my dad after he passed. So iam wondering if his sprit could still be in my home.

This is for Traci…How did you know you had a ghost or spirit in you?  I mean how did it feel?

This subject interests me so much because as long as I can remember I could sense changes in energy. It started at night when I'd close my eyes and I could sense when someone or something came into a room even for a second it's never failed. Have you ever heard the electric or magnetic field when you first turn the tv on when there was complete silenc the minute before? That's what I always feel. It's always scared me a little because I can in a sense "hear" things come in the room but when I open my eyes nothing is there that I can see. I also happen to have dreams that come true the next day. I have never had a physical reaction to this sense but over time I've learned to deal with it. I can't read peoples minds but I've always known if there was something wrong or different about my relationships with people, I guess it's like a gut feeling that never ever fails. I wish I could explain what it "sounds" like to hear the change in the magnetic energy but it's almost impossible to describe unless you have the ability. A few times ill be laying down and I'll just get a random name that pops into my head. The first time it scared me so bad it made me cry, but I don't think it's anyone that would harm me.

Often I get the "feeling" of a presence at night just around the room but not really trying to make contact. I know from experience this phenomenon is real because after living with this for such a long time I know it's real. I see shows about psychic kids who can talk to an see spirits and while that's never been something I could do, I know normal people can't feel this way and do these things. It makes me really uneasy at times but if I ever feel a serious threat I just bless myself with some holy water. I'm glad people see that you don't have to see ghosts and have them talk to you for you to be "psychic" because this too can be a gift and a curse. In some ways it's given me the upper hand on certain people and situations.

After reading all of these posts I do see a common theme in the stories and in my life, my two older sisters have the same gift that I do. My sisters had more intense experiences than I did when they were younger, but all three of us have this extra sense. I just want to say to all the people who thought they were nuts, just know you're really not alone and it's so much more common than you think. My parents think I'm crazy but I know I'm not. And to anyone with a bad experience with negative energy, I had an issue with that once too I got a bottle of holy water and blessed myself before bed it was the first night I slept in weeks. Please stay positive though because things like that feed off of fear. It becomes your worst nightmare you need a support system so please stay positive.? And animals can see spirits a lot better than us if they're acting afraid or hur or sick, you know it's not a good presence. I just wanted to say those things to anyone listening

Lisa i havent felt one, not that i know of. I was wondering If my fathers spirt is still with us in the house, or how could we tell.

From reading all these posts, I think it might help to look into the possibility that the pressure and rush that is sometimes felt, especially upon awakening, could infact be due to your own spirit re-entering your body after astrally projecting. This is a phenomenom that occurs with everyone, some more than others, most are just unaware of it. Sounds like a few of you are waking up before your soul has come back. Just something to consider.

i have been seeing spirits and they have been contacting me since i was 6 years old, and i am now 19. no one else in my family has ever seen them and have not experinced what i have experinced. i still to this day have nightmares, when i can sleep. i am not sure why they contact me or what they want. if anyone can help me to understand this and if they can help me contact them better please i have yahoo messenger. just pm me. or if anyone wants more info or questions.

I know it may sound strange but since i was 17 (i'm now 20) i have felt people touching me in my sleep, sometimes quite spitefully. when it happens i'm in between falling asleep, it really freaks me out. i spoke to someone about it who said it was something to do with my house but it can't be as it happens wherever i sleep, up to 3 times a week. I can stop it by putting music on, or the tele, but i really want it to stop as it's quite scary. I don't think i believe in ghosts but this is my last resort, as its been 3 years now. I don't think it is relevent but it started happening after i did the ougie board on halloween 06 (but nothing contacted us and the people i was doing it with were laughing and stuff)… any ideas?

I have experienced the same thing as well. Around 15 years ago, I had rented a room in a house from a good friend of mine. I started noticing that something was always "peeking" around the corners, in the house, at me. I would turn my head to look, and it would quickly disapear. One night,I was alone in my room, and my roommate was in the next room. I remember sorta drifting off to sleep, but, for some reason I could feel myself calling out for help to my roommate,but could not make a sound. And my body could not move, as if something had paralyzed me for a few moments. It was the weirdest feeling, and I will never forget it. Your story sounded exactly like what I had felt that night.

Yea its exactly like paralyzed and the only thing you can do is try to wake up properly. it seems so real and i can actually re-call the pain, i never see whole bodies or faces, just arms or something. But can feel being felt, its horrible.

Hi just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced the same sort of thing I have. Well apparently I have been able to see spirits since being a very small child around 3 years old. My mum told me that I told her about a lady who used to come and play with my hair who I described to be my Great Grandmother who passed away when I was a few months old. Since then Ive had dreams about those who have passed either family, or family of people close to me. Since the birth of my son is september I have more of these dreams and I get feelings that spirit people are watching me. For example I recently went to my Grandmothers who is ill in hospital, I felt like someone was watching me and kept feeling there was something in the hallway. I then was able to describe a lady to my mom who seemed to fit the description of my Great Great Grandmother who I had never met. Is this her way of telling me she is there looking out for my nan? Or is it my imagination running overtime? Any input will be greatfully recieved. x

While walking up a very steep stairwell in an old house that was newly renovated in WaterMill, NY, something grabbed my right leg below the knee, and tugged on me, almost making me fall off stairs. I leaned into the stairs, and the only person in the room was still locking the back door behind him. It was not him. A few weeks later, we smelled a burning sulphur like smell, at which point my friend began to rip down an entire wall, thinking perhaps a sheetrock nail had come in contact with his electrical wiring. Everything was fine when sheetrock was removed. This smell lingered between two bedrooms that were connected. I asked my friend to pray with me, at which point we acknowledged the presence of an entity of some kind, and performed "spiritual warfare." The presence, smell, and feeling of something being there left. This building had been renovated from an old farmhouse, to a dental office downstairs. The owner/dentist later stated that an older woman had been murdered in the bathtub years prior, and that at least one other patient had reported (prior to expelling of entity) seeing a female figure dressed in old fashioned clothing move from one area of the room through a door that had been sealed off. When I asked the dentist recently if anyone had seen or felt anything lately, she said all had been quiet for quite some time…from the time I believe we ordered it to leave.

I feel presenses behind me all the time, and there's usually nothing there. I also hear – and this is the only way I can describe it – is low or high pitch sonic noises. Am I gifted, paranoid, or just crazy? Merci bou cou, Michelle. Cheers.

uhhh right now as i am writing this, i am sitting at my computer and it has gotten really cold all of a sudden. i have been experiencing ghosts for many years and i am a sensittive. i hear them but then i also think that i live on indian ground. i just need to chat with somone to talk about this stuff

Well what happened to me was almost 3 years ago.  I had just been released from the hospital from having a liver transplant.  I was very close to death with only 2 days left to live if a liver wasn't found.  I was saved the very day that would have been my last.  People say I cheated death!  Well what happened to me was a few nights after I got home.  I was in bed – my husband and children were sleeping.  I was in a little pain and having trouble falling to sleep.  I was finally falling to sleep when all of a sudden, I felt something holding me down.  I couldn't move any part of my body.  My eyes were open and I was looking at my husband and was trying to yell but no sound would come out.  I was terrified.  I couldn't do anything.  I just layed there while whatever was holding me down was touching my body.  I could feel hands on me.  This has happened to me twice.  I've had so many other things happen to me.  When I was a teenager, I could feel someone sit next to me on my bed.  I've also heard something call out my name.  I wonder if this is something that is following me?  Ever since I was a child I could remember things happening to me.  I don't know what to think.

I highly believe that people can sense when ghosts are around. I remember when I was younger (about 6) I used to be scared of going to the bathroom particularly at night time so I used to run from my attic bedroom down the stairs to the bathroom and then i'd run back to my room again and hide under my covers for about 10 minutes before attempting to go to sleep.

I didn't know why I was scared … I mean I was 6 I didn't even know people believed that spirits could stay with us as ghosts. Then one night when I ran to the bathroom I saw a woman who stood there. My whole body froze and i'll always remember how I felt. I felt cold and emotionally drained like i'd been crying for years for this woman. I felt sorry for her but scared at the same time. I didn't go to the toilet instead I ran back to my room cried my self to sleep. The routine never changed i'd run to the bathroom at night and run back to my room scared. Now that I knew what and who made me scared of the bathroom so much I gave the woman in there a name I called her Violet. As years passed by more things happened I started to feel like I was being watched as I fell to sleep. Then I started seeing more people at night, I saw a little girl and a man dressed in a waist coat. One time I slept at my uncles house and I told my cousin I could see a little girl in her house and I could describe the little girls family to her and even how they died. I didn't know how I knew this stuff to me it was just a very strong feeling i had. I never told my mum any of this. I didn't understand it my self I supposed I felt embarressed and scared she'd think I was lying.

When I was 16 my mum's friend came to the house and they were watching TV and ans talking about a psychic night and it reminded me of everything that used to happen when I was younger. As I told my mum her friend was very curious and asked me to describe the woman from the bathroom as I did she went pale she told me she knew the family who lived in the house before we had and that an elderly woman who was very frail called Violet lived there and that she'd been a victim of a long cancer. This scared me, i'd scared myself how the hell did I choose to name this woman Violet and it turned out that was her name?!?!?
My uncle was pretty freaked out and did some research on his house ….. everything i'd said turned out to be true about that too even how the family died. I now nearly 19 and I haven't seen ghosts in a while but sometimes at night I still get scared and hide under my covers. I can't really explain it but I just know when a ghost is there because I feel really emotional and cold. To me my own experience is enough to prove children can see and feel when spirits are with them.

Unless you've actually been in that situation though I can understand why it's hard to believe in ghosts. For some seeing is believing.

i had my first encounter last night around 11:30-12:00. i was watching tv and suddenly my verizon fios box turned off. it then read "HI!!" just like that and then read please play a movie. and my tv changed from chanel 3 to 5 and my remote wasn on my dresser….i then had an icy chill come up my spine and i felt icy on my neck….like some one was breathing on me…i was scared shitlees to get out of bed and haven't sllept since. i also have 2 dogs and they always sleep in my room and for some reason wouldn't last night. the younger one, his name is skeeter, hes a chocolate lab 110lbs started to whimper and ran down stairs then turned around and looked at me like he was about to die or something.

my brothers died on 1/29/10 both in very different ways. one of renal failure and the police shot my other brother ~ i get these crazy uncontrollable chills. I dont feel bad or warm or cold just chills and ive never had them like that till they passed. i figure they are trying to hug me. at least thats how i like to look at it. :)

Every so often, my heart would beat really fast and I know that they are there. When it happens, I get up and go to the restroom (just to be certain that I'm awake) and when I get back into bed, my heart starts racing again. It only happens at night, and never during the day. Once before I felt fluttering and wind in my ear. When I opened my eyes, I saw the shadow of and angel's wings stretching from the ceiling to the floor. Sometimes I have to sleep with the lights on to keep them away. Sometimes these spirits tighten the covers around my neck and shoulders to prevent me from moving, but most times I just feel them there, and it feels as if my heart is going to jump out of my chest. Are they trying to tell me something, or warn of some type of danger?

When I was about 22 I had an experience that happened to me. My husband and I went to go to sleep and my whole life I slept with my arm over my head. One night as I was almost alseep and still aware of my surroundings, something laid on top of me and I felt a thumb print of a man in my armpit. He spoke to me in my mind and said I bet you cant move it, I bet you cant! At first when I felt it it made me giggle, but then I realized oh my gosh this is really happening to me! I talked back to him in my mind and said Oh I bet you I can too! It felt like all the energy I could muster came to a head and then it was off of me. I got up to tell my husband but he did not believe me. Later that month, I had to go the bathroom it was in the middle of the night. I turned on every light to go across his moms house. On the way back I got half way to our bedroom and heard my name whispered,"Jennifer…" I turned around and called for everyone asleep on that side of the house and no one answered me! I ran!..other things have happened to me in the past things I shrugged off, but after my dad died two years ago in January of 2008 I have been touched a few times.

A week after my dad died I was at my sisters house and stayed in the guestroom upstairs. My mom used to stay in that room and sys she sees spirits and communicates with them. At first I thought she was crazy, but now I don't know? I was laying in the bed it was in the middle of the day and I hadnt slept well because deep down I was scared that my dad was going to come and visit me and it terrified me. My husband said he would let me sleep for an hour and get me for lunch. I did eventually fall asleep but I was awoke by a knock on the door which was a rapping three times and then right after that was a feeling of a mans first three fingers touching my knee out of the covers that tapped me three times. My husband came in and said am I hungry. There was no one in the room and later I asked him why he knocked on the door to come in? He said he didn't knock? I was touched one more time at my house and was asleep in my room and it felt like someone tapped me again but on my elbow to wake me up as my little girl came in the room one morning. The last incident so far was at my sisters house again and we were getting ready to leave the house. I was saying by to my twin and all of a sudden I felt a spiderweb feeling go across my left side of my face as if fingers touched my face but went through my cheeck. I freaked out needless to say! My mom sees things, my two young nieces see and feel things and my sister says she too sees things like black shadows..I do not see things but I have been touched? Can someone tell me what to do about how to cope and not be scared I am going to see something I do not want to see? Some people say I may have a gift and if I just open up to it I may see my father or even hear them.

wow it looks as if you may have a ghost or entity in your house. They say that animals are very perceptive and feel and see things we do not. Pay attention to them..they might be warning you.

Hi everyone i have felt the presence of spirts for years. sometimes the energy feels diffrent and scary. my friend died a couple of years ago. i feel she moves furniture durning the night. can ghosts mess with your dreams? i mean interupt your dream sexually and when you say stop they mess with your head but when you wake up its still there. i end up praying and it goes!!!!

Im in the drama club at school and our studio is haunted. not the negative way. But my teacher told me she feels her sometimes and once she heard someone whistle behind her but when she turned it was nothing. And one time, when the whole class was in, they all saw a girl sitting around the corner, and when one of the student asked who's that, she disappeared. It was before i joined the drama club, and today my teacher decided to tell ghost stories, and it was involved with her. Then, i feel really uncomfortable, somoene was watching me and i knew it was her coz i could feel her presence. She didn't speak to me, but she kept giving me the feeling she wanted me to tell my teacher to stop telling all these stories. I know she is negative, i can feel that she doesn't like my teacher telling these stories about her because my teacher encountered her a few times. and she made me feel like she wanted us not to be scared of her. She's been in our a school for quite a long time. i dont know why.

Hi, I would like to share with you, my experience. It started when at 14 years old. I had a series of dreams that my bother died. He was killed a short time later from a hit and run. I had a dream the next night my brother was showing me who killed him. I described the person to my family. When the person gave him self up to the police, his description was identical. I am now 48 yrs old. Since then I could write a book on my experiences with the spirit realm. my sister died suddenly 18mths ago, and no it was expected but I always knew her time on earth would be cut short. she was 49. My sister comes to me frequently, let me share with you. I will wake up in the middle of the night and Sharon will be on my mind. I lay in bed thinking of her, I feel her in the room. I don't see her, just feel her. I then roll over & my husband will say are you awake & I reply yeah. Then he says, your sister is here. I reply how do you know? He says she woke me up. I've been awake for ages, she's walking around the room. I talk to her, tell her how much I love her & miss her. Sharon leaves soon afterward. I know I'm not imagining this because then my husband would be too? She wants my attention. She taps on my dresser next to the bed to wake me up. I do not dabble in anything, nor do I let it be known outside the family. Sharon also visits my brother as he took in her dog. Evan the dog senses her presence.

(Continued) I do believe some people are sensitive to the sprite realm, what we don't know or understand can scare us. I have had a few nasty visitors but I tell them to get out of my house and never come uninvited. They soon leave and that is the end of them. When you go to bed talk out loud and tell them not to come in your bedroom that it is a private space. I have had spirits standing at my door just looking in they won't come in. They soon leave. I tell them not to wake me up as I have to work the next day. It works for me.

Hello Taylor @10.15pm. my name is Kim I have read your story and no there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I have the opportunity of Being psychic and seeing,sensing,talking and hearing ghosts 24/7 myself but also have the opportunity to help cross spirits over to the light if need be. I hope that this is comforting to you. I always have the opportunity to dream of a certain person who has died in horrible circumstances before I see them, talk to them and cross them over. yes it can be scary but what the ghost is showing you is a reenactment of his/her death but I am sorry you had to see the reenactment of the poor child who was brutally killed. I truly feel for her and for the mother and the other grownups who were also killed. May they all eventually RIP.The Child you saw with long black hair and very pale to me seems that she feels she is unable to cross over to a better place (but for your own safety I advise you not to cross spirits over unless you know what you are doing) as she died in horrible circumstances. to me she is an earthbound spirit. she is a lost spirit child, some ghost children often feel lost and sometimes they do not realise they are dead, especially those who have died in tragic horrible circumstances like your little visitor – as she was not prepared for a horrific death particularly from her father and she was unable to say goodbye to her mother.

I beleive she has come to you 1.you are a child like her and would be on the same wavelength as you and hoped you would see her. 2.she had a message for you, as spirits can also warn you of dangers if there are any (ghosts will try and attract the living as much as they can to pass messages on if not through a loved one then through a person who has the opportunity to see sense hear and talk to them(mediums) 3.she is attracted to your strong light around you. Ghost children tend to reach out to the living with a motherly figure. I have the opportunity to have ghost children myself who are around me with their parents who are not only have become my friends but my spirit guides and who work with me, guard me heavily 24/7, but, like yourself I have the same trouble always seeing and hearing other spirits. I tell my spirits who I know to leave me from time to time, as spirits tend to drain your energy and they respect that. they know when not to push it. the strong advice is it is not healthy to see and hear ghosts 24/7.

The strong advice I am able to tell you is you MUST Protect yourself that is ABSOLUTELY paramount and learn to SHUT down. I use the psychic shield words and also vision myself in a bubble of white light. imagine the bubble sits on top of a gold base under your feet. see the white light extending to about 2 feet around your body, head, underneath your feet. make sure light is above your head as well as under the feet. imagine white light is encircling you and then stationary then swirling around you again. open your eyes and feel the light protecting you and say NOTHING can harm me. Also when I need to shut down I pretend I have a box infront of me with a flower in it open the box and take out the opened flower (I choose a rose as pink represents love in the spiritual world) hold the flower in the palm of your hand watch the petals close up one by one. as I mentioned before you MUST shut down and KEEP grounded. DO anything you like go for a swim, have friends round, do anything that involves our world. You CANNOT live in the spirit world 24/7. Remember you have more power than then spirit/ghost has, but if you try and show fear, they can become more powerful than you. they feed on fear. Hope I have been of some help. take care, keep safe.

Hey, I have my experience that I want to talk about. I can feel something or someone touch my head in the middle of the night (2:37am). When it touched me, I quickly woke up and started to look around. I though it was my cousin who sleeps on the floor, or my mom who was already sleeping. It was neither of them. Im telling you the truth, I can feel that it's real. I am half sleep and half awake, but I felt it real, like a human touch. It all occurs in my home.

Several weeks ago, I was in college, and have a dorm too. I was sleeping and something something or someone touched my left hip and I started alert and looked around. My roommate was already sleeping, so it was not him. I think I have experienced this before. I told one of my family members (aunt), and she told me it must the the holy ghost, a guardian angel that is protecting me. I just want to let ya know my experience with the holy ghost.

Hello im 13 years old and i always can feel ghost round i am so freaked out and when the room is really warm i know when a ghost is round because round me gets awfully cold .. And one nite i was sittin on my couch and i felt like a hiss in my ear .. its weird because im only 13 and this is happening to me why if anyone has anwsers about this please feel free 2 comment this back xx
Seana

Hi Seana I feel a coldness around me and the tingles along my arms when I feel a presence around me. Some people are sensitive like an antenna or conductor picking up on the spirit world. You are only 13, can you discuss this issue with your parents? Kim who commented a few comments back had good advice regarding protecting yourself with a protection prayer or affirmation. You can say it daily or whenever you feel the need to, when you are experiencing these feelings or situation it can be words like (bless and protect me and my family with the divine white light only love and goodness shall come to me). There are a lot of sites on the net for you to read up on.

Hi.
im 14 and this has happend 3 times within the past 2 months:
i wake up in the middle of the night (around 2ish) and i feel like theres someone there just standing next to me. it freaks me out SO badly and i cant fall asleep. my dogs then start to cry and bark at the wall and when i look theres nothing there. my father died in september of 2007 and my uncle in febuary of 2008 (it'll be 2 years the 27th). and last night when i tried to go to sleep i feel this pressure on my side and i hear my name called and i freak out. i sometimes feel a light brush against my face. and when i finally went back to sleep i just had dreams of ghosts. when i finally woke up for school at 6 this morning i was lying in my bed when i hear very loud foot steps coming up the stairs. theres about 4 and it stops. it wasnt my mom cause she has a broken leg, it wasn't my sister cause she shares a room with me and it wasnt my brother because he was taking a shower. i always try to convince myself that its just my dad watching over me. but the feeling is just too freaky…

& me and my dad were VERY close. me and my uncle not so much.

what do you think?

Hello, lately I have been experiencing shivers my back, electronic faults, flickering of lights, strange annoyances and i heard some-one calling my name. when i turned around, no-one was there. About a month ago I made a ouij board. Since then doors have been slamming and books had been falling off the shelf. It was yesterday things started to progress when i felt like some one was watching me. i then heard a lady say "hello." i felt stupid at first but i replyed and found out that she was 53 and her name was louise. she then told me she never got to say goodbye to her family as she died in a car crash. Im not sure if im going mad or there is really a ghost there? Also i was looking for my charger. i searched the whole house then it appered on my bed. I told my mum and she said maybe she wants to play games. as i was talking to her, the phone kept cutting out and i heard heavy breathing as well. im really confused. please feel free to comment :D thanks

I have just walked into my front room and smelt smoke but no-one had lit a candle, is this connected?

I'm glad to find out other people have been experiencing things similar to what I've been going through the past month. A common thread that seems to be happening is that people are sensing the presence of an entity around them while half asleep, although many other people have experiences while they are wide awake.

I've had what feels like human fingers touching me late at night. The first time it was a couple of fingers on my leg, then a single finger touching my wrist. The most recent episode, feels like several fingers pushing me in the back as I laid on my side. My wife is laying beside me when this happens, and I haven't talked to her about it, because I don't want to freak her out, but it has been a very frightening experience. My heart starts racing and chills go through my body. Then, after a while I drift off to sleep.

It usually happens when I awaken to go to the bathroom and then I try to get back to sleep. Very vivid dreams accompany the touching sensation, and on nights where I sleep through the night without waking, I don't sense anything strange. Several members of my family are very sensitive and I say what I can describe as my grandmother's spirit when I was young, but I haven't had anything happen to me like this until now, and I'm 52. My mom and dad both passed away a year apart a few years back. I wonder if one of them is trying to reach out to me. Anyway, I'm happy to be able to share this experience with people who have had some similar events take place in their lives.

Hi I am moe. I always felt someone is watching me and i can feel there is someone in the house, not my family. Please help me. I am scared.

i too have felt the same paralyzed feeling in my grandmother's room. also my mother is known for saying she sees the ghost. i've never really belie.ved her until now. my aunt has moved six houses because of this problem. i think its because we're gypsy. also im 15 years old and really want to look into this if you can please contact me at andymallicote@yahoo.com

Never buy or make Ouji boards. They are a door way to the spirit world.

I have had a few experiences in the past. Just this morning I was awaken. what I perceive as a being trying to lay on top of me. Sort of like pressure added on top of me. I don't know what it is or wants. Sometimes it just sit near me.  I do not feel cold, chills or anything except what I described above. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Ever since I was a little boy I've felt a presence around me when I'm alone. Only when I'm in a relaxed state is when I feel this force. I have never understood what it was. Everytime I feel nervous and anxious when I feel it. I don't know how to explain what this is, can someone help?

That happens to me every night. my parents said that ever since I was small I refuse to sleep, complaining that someone was in my room, now just i feel nervous and anxious . Now my parents think I am a crazy 12 year old girl with some thing wrong in MY brain. Recently while I was lying in my bed I was fiddling with a pencil then someone or some thing pulled the pencil out of my hand. Also two nights after that I was also lying in my bed listening to the radio, when the fast forward button just clicked on its own!! I was so scared I couldn't move for a while. The next day while I was getting on the bus I heard the bus driver say "what time will I get home". I asked my friend to ask her if the bus driver did say that, but she said no and that the bus driver didn't even open her mouth.

Hi, my family and I moved into the rental house we live in and from the very first night, i had the feeling it was haunted. I heard a sound pass by me that I can not describe, but if you saw the movie "White Noise' it was similar to the noise the husband was hearing on his computer. Anyway, every night almost, I feel the room get cold all of a sudden, even though the heat is on, and all of a sudden, my heart starts beating really fast for no apparent reason. I am just lying there trying to go to sleep, (thats when it f____ with me most) and I will feel my hair rising or being played with, and an energy, (i dont know what else to call it, like it's lying on top of me). I have repeatedly told it to go away, and leave me alone. Help!

My parents house is haunted. They used to admit this, but now they just think I'm crazy. I don't live there anymore, but I've heard and felt things. My old bedroom (now the craft room) is the warmest in their house (big old Victorian) so when I visit I sit in it to go on the Internet after my kids have gone to sleep. Well, a very cold thing(ghost) comes and touches me…sits with me…etc. I know it is there and it knows I am there, because it will leave me alone if I ask. I think the ghost is just happy someone knows it's there!

There are two other ghosts on the property. One is in the root cellar, and does NOT like to be disturbed, otherwise there is poltergeist activity. Luckily the root cellar is another room off of the main cellar, so no one goes in there very much–it has a weird vibe. The other spirit is in the upper room of the carriage house (which my parents use as their junk shed), a very nasty-feeling spirit. I don't ever go in there because my intuition screams **get out** if I start to go up the stairs.

I am an intuitive (third gen–maybe more).

I'm wondering how to let these ghosts know they're dead w/o getting the professionals in…

Hey, My name is Joe M.,and for a while now i been having very bad dreams, thoughts of hurting people and thoughts of suicide. When i am getting ready for school in the morning, i always feel as if there is something or some one there, and some times i think my mom is walking to the bathroom and trying to sneak up on me,or something, (cuz she likes to mess around) but when i look there is no one there. A couple months ago i was laying down to sleep and i was almost to sleep and i felt a light touch on my arm, kind of by my elbow, Another night i was going to sleep and i heard a knocking noise on my window and i looked out side there was no one there, i just thought that it could of been some kids playing tricks on me but it was very very freezing out side, i dont think kids would be running around that late in the cold. I also have trouble sleeping, when i am up late at night at about 2 or 3 am i hear footsteps walking by my door, and i go out there and every one is sleeping. It scares me but i have been trying to ignor every thing that happens, somtimes i think its just all in my head. But just last night my cat was in my moms room and it always lays in there all the time, my cat is very calm to, but i was laying down in the living room and my cat came running out of the room verry fast and sudden, she jsut sat there and looked into the room and didnt go back in there for about an hour. That concerned me. I just always feel like there is a pressence with me, Ever since i have done the ouija board, i have messed around with it a couple times about a year ago.

I just need some advise or some thing to inform me about what it could be. Thanx?

Not sure what I feel, last night i was woken with the feeling of someone leaning on the bed, but tingling from head to toe and a physical touch to something around my waist. when i fully awoke it continued and although i didnt feel cold my skin was it kept me awake for some time. when it went i went back to sleep. what can this be? I have sensed something in the house only in one spot but i think it may have followed me.

Hi , im 15… Im seriously not sure of some of the things that are happening right now. Lately ive been getting really scared from weird footsteps after 1am. There has been times when i wake up sweating around 3am or for no apparent reason. I have a small brother , he is 2 years old . He has really being scaring me and my aunt out… yday we were sat in the living room quietly.. and he just began to burst out laughing .. but looking at an empty space and kept calling me and my sister to come over there. I feel like im being watched all the time by someone .. especially around the house. Sometimes i feel as if it isnt just one person but 2 .. one behind me as well. The feeling of going upstairs or downstairs creeps me out..i swear sometimes i see someone there… but im scared so i tend to look away. One night i switched my tv box off.. i left the control inside a drawer , i then layed in bed … looked up and right in front of my eyes the red light went green as if someone turned it back on. I also have this lamp… which makes a sound whenever you turn it on and off.. and everytime i turn it off before i go to bed… i lay there.. and weirds sounds start coming from it as if someone is trying to turn it on.I have seen odd dark shadows… but small ones as if they were kids ones… walking past quickly…today i was in the kitchen .. and i swear i saw a woman from behind who was tall… by the door. I have no idea who this could be.. since most of the women in my family are short.. we dont know any history of people who haunt the house. There was once a night around 4am .. it was all silent.. and i swear i could hear quick faint whispers from somewhere all of a sudden. I didnt get anything to what it might have being saying since it was fast.Today i went to the bathroom … and i was about to get out and my whole right side of my body went cold.. while the other was normal. Any ideas to explain or help .. please they will be greatly appreciated .. its getting to the point where i cant stand to come in my room or house. Thank you

My friend and I were having a discussion about ghosts today. The subject just came up and I was saying how I do not believe but my friend here disagreed, she thinks they exist. So as time went by during the evening, we started talking about something else when all of a sudden the tv went bazarre at 1:52 a.m. We went around the house to see if the other tvs were still working, and they were. Before this, I was taking a shower and left my friend alone in the living room and she told me that during the time I was in there she saw shadows on the ceiling and her heart started racing. Is my house haunted or are we just paranoid because we have been talking about it?

I get the feeling of cold air around me, and sometimes it feels like gentle breathing on my skin. Other times someone is touching my arm, and cause I looked towards the area of where it was coming from, its being more consistent.

It was after a long block party, and i was having fun except for the fact that i was tired, but i didn't care at the moment. i finally decided to come inside and get ready to go to bed around 5:00am. while i was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and finishing up, i suddenly felt a cold, dry air mass rush by me and leave the bathroom. i was cautious but only thought it was a blast of cold air from the air conditioning unit. so i went on with my buissness and finally was able to lie in my bed. [at that time of age{age 9},i didnt like to sleep with my ears uncovered so i pulled the sheets over my ears so that my ears werent uncovered.] my mom and dad just leftmy room a few minutes later after saying goodnight and my sister fell asleep on the other side of the room, so i was a bit scared to be awake in the dark alone. i got up and turned on the television and changed the channel to my favorite cartoon. before i went to sleep i made a quick notice that i was laying down on my stomach and that the sheets were covering my ears and body all the way. after a few minutes i fell asleep and it was a deep sleep. it was probably around 5:30 when my dream went downhill into a total nightmare. it turned completely pitch black and strangely i made out a demon shape. it was black and red and kind of glowing. while it was making its way in the doorway, it was whispering to itself, yet it was still looking at me. [ im still talking about my dream.] i tried to make out the words but i could not. coming closer and closer, he stared at me and in an instant, just burst out laughing. his laugh was of pure evil and created stench of no other living mortal.

By then i was terrified and couldn't move. the creepiest thing was that everything was happening in the same scenario as when i went to sleep except it was happening in my nightmare. all of a sudden he quickly jumped on me with no hesitation at all and began choking me. with a struggle, i threw him off of me and he hit a wall. screaming, he warned me and told me that i was going to regret that move. i suddenly woke up and my breathing was really red and i was shaking uncontrollibly. also, my heart beat was beating at a bursting pressure while i was very dizzy. the dark looking shape left my room and thats when i woke up to notice that my blanket was off my bed and the t.v. was off and i looked towards the door and found a dark shadow leave my room while i was awake. a few days later i went to my niece's birthday party and i broke my wrist VERY pianfully in her bounce house. {the thing was is that the exact moment before i broke my wrist i was thrown in the air and landed.} could this of meant something? was he planning that event?

ok, so this is short, but the rock band A7X drummer died on the 28 of December of last year. I was supposed to be born on that day,but instead was born on October 3 1993. In this dream, I was walking up to his house, and for some strange reason, it looked like a section of the yard had once had a tree and I thought this part was crazy but his coffin was sticking up out of the ground and that it was white. I didn't pay much mind to it, so I began to walk towards the house. But when I walked past the 'coffin', it felt like a hand suddenly grabbed my left arm and kept on tugging it down. It felt like it was actually happening. No one else was around me at the time, which happened around 3 or 4 am EST. It scared me, I woke up and my heart was beating fast. I'm pretty I was cryin too. Can anyone tell me if it was tellin me something or is it fake?' 'I also had this weird thought in my head that I was talking to the drummer in my head while I was doing dishes, and he apparently said he was going to shut the back door, which was just beside me, and the door shut by itself after I heard that in my head.

Yes, I have had that feeling throughout teenage years and have floated to the top of the ceilling and looked down and saw what was hell. The other time a being in a black cloak came into my room and I was trying to scream out when I looked at his feet – he had none, but two beings came in a white cloak and tapped him on the shoulder and they vanished. I have had many experiences like sensing, smelling and dreams of warning. I deeply believe in God but am also not 100% sure of what the dimensional world is except that some spirits will scare and some will warn. The feeling of being paralyzed happened during my darkest moments, and I think when you are down and depressed we attract the wrong energy.

Because you were talking, the energy became attracted to you. I have had that experience many times where the conversation or the thought of them attracts them. You must strengthen your mind and not let them make you fearful. I have had many experiences and worked in a rest home where people pass away and they would try to talk by closing a door and saying hello almost like a whisper. They will communicate, but do not be frightened to block them out of your mind and to tell them to go away.

Ornella, I would get in contact with a spiritualist church that is christian based. You need to overcome your fear and control it. You will leave it too long and you will become more frightened. They can send it on, or teach you to not to be frightened.

I have had spiritual experiences all my life and found that when close people to me had cancer I will smell a hospital smell. When I was pregnant, I could smell flowers constantly. I sometimes smell cigar and that I think is my Grandfather and I also smell my dead aunty. I have seen my dead pets and have had my bed shake also. These things have been going on so long I know not to be in my head. Sometimes they warn and sometimes they scare and make me feel very frightened and once when I was dating this guy who was not very honest and caused alot of trouble (when I stayed the night) I found them flying around the room suffocating me with there pressence and walking very loudly up the stairs.

On one occasion, when he stayed over, they made a very loud noise up the stairs I almost died. It was thump, thump, thump like doom. I have had them lock me out of my bathroom and have had them whisper, asking for a family member. I have had them also come and knock on the window very loudly when I was a child because my sister was scaring me so much I was in tears as she was pretending to be possessed and they knocked on the window and the glass front door so quickly between the two that when we looked there was nothing there. But it was very loud, and my sister knocked back but nothing was there but it knocked back at her. Has anyone had the feeling of calm spirits and scary ones?

Not sure what has and continues to happen from time to time. I was very close to my grandmother. While she was in the nursing home I was one of the few people that she recognized and I loved her dearly. One evening I had a dream that I was lying with her in her hospital bed, holding her in my arms while she passed. The dream was so upsetting that I woke up and went downstairs (about 4AM) to get a drink of water. I flipped on the kitchen lights and they flickered 3 times. I was upset, butit was too early to call anyone so I went/tried to go back to sleep. The next morning at work I got the phone call that she had died peacefully in her sleep during the night. I do not see her ghost. On another occassion some years ago (prior to my grandmothers passing) I was overcome with such emotion that someone I cared for was in trouble/hurt. The feeling was so strong that I seriously considered calling the ER rooms to see if he had been admitted, but did not because I thought it was just some weird random thing that was happening to me for whatever reason and/or my then husband at the time would have become insanely jealous. Again the next day, I found out that he had died of alcohol poisening the night before.

I do not see ghosts, but I truly feel like I am conversing with them in my dreams or sometimes they are in my dreams and I am just looking at them. I definetly feel warm and fuzzy after the dreams. Is it just me not wanting to let go? Just recently, within the past few weeks I also dreamed that I was riding in a truck with my uncle and we were traveling to another uncles house. Normally I only have the dreams/feelings when I'm close to that person. I am not super close to this particular uncle, but again I awoke very early in the morning, headed to my parents house wherein I found out that he had had a heart attack the night before and had been taken to the hospital. This time it was a little 'off' because just a week prior it was my aunt that had passed away. We were not close and I had no 'inclination' that anything was wrong with her. I think my uncles heart attack may have been induced by stress from the loss of hiw wife/my aunt. Anyway, it's happened enough that I felt I should share experiences (if you will). I don't necessarily want to not see them in my dreams. Should I just do nothing and accept it for whatever it is?

Have you ever felt like someone is watching you or seen a shadow but no one is there, or hear your name when you're all alone? The ghosts are out there!

I can feel what the ghosts or people feel. I have sat down at bus stops and shot straight back up again because she, last occupant, knew her check was too small to buy what he wanted….Hubby, although common law, would beat her when he got home. Items have feelings, and pictures can haunt me because the 'video' plays of what that person sees or feels/felt. I have just recently been able to distract myself so as to not FOCUS on every anger, disgust, heartbreak, hum drum, hurry to get home to make dinner, work sucked today feeling when walking into Wally world to shop. I live in the mountains. Years ago, an Indian girl was left here. It was required since something treasured was to meet her and meet her father further down the line. She feels she cannot leave because her father asked her to stay. I have 'told' her she needs to move on however her beliefs are a native way I haven't any idea on. Not even sure she only feels me and not understands.

Shiny things have disappearred and while I wonder about a certain drunk we had for thanksgiving, I know my ring is here, close. She hasn't seen shiny stones before and oogles at some of the things I have. Music, energy, from stereo, a fire enclosed in the wood burning stove…She isn't always here. She roams that area for some reason, her father's request… I am so lost. why would an Indian man leave a woman in the mountains? She isn't hurting anything, but to have her presence here is…….bizarre. I live alone and the animals do not seem to know anything is amiss=that I have noticed. The tv just turned itself on…I think the cats and horses know…..

Every time i go to the mounds i hear somebody. it scares me to death. now im a psychic and im into ghosts and things like that but the other day i was walking in a crystal clear park. i was walking with my friend and she tripped. i looked to see what she tripped on but nothing was there. could this be the work of a ghost?

thats called sleep paralysis.

I am currently 15 and went out with someone called tom(17), when i was 12, for about a year and a half, we was very happy together until he turned violent and argumentative. After some time i finally realised this wassn't right and i could do better, well he used to come to my house and bang on the doors and windows and demand to see me we had the police and everything. well he finally left me alone and i hadn't spoken to him for like a year. then 12-02-2010 i was out with my friends all having a drink (as we do on weekends)and tom came out and he was being really nice to me as usual, he was appolagising all night and saying how much i have grew up, and all the feelings i had for him came back. i went home to my grandmas house at 8-45pm and all night i couldnt stop thinking about him. the next morning i heard that he had been killed down the road at 9-15pm.

Obviously i went to the funeral & crematorium and 2 months has past and i havn't cried much since. sunday night i felt the presents of someone, i was laid in bed trying to sleep but i was wide awake and wassn't particulary upset but tears was streaming down my face and i couldnt stop. when ever i closed my eyes i couldn't stop thinking about him and how happy we used to be.(doesn't help that my bestfriend going out with his brother) but i was freezing and before his funeral i saw his body, and i could just see his body next to me in my head. i wasn't frightened at all, but when i was curled up in a ball in bed i imagined that he was behind me cuddled up next to me.i don't feel upset as such or frightened but i don't know if i'm going crazy or someone was actually there, what should i do? Please help :/

when i go to sleep at night i feel like someone is watching me constantly. i heard something call my name but when i look to see who it is no one is there. i felt like someone was sitting on my bed, i heard people talking and laughing in the middle of the night. i've had my vases knocked off my dresser drawer, i even heard someone blowing into my vases and know one would be there. gives me the CREEPS!!!! i've even been forced down on my bed where i couldn't move or speak and to some growling like noises. i just pray when it happens.

For a long time now i have been sensing spirits in my house and especially in my room at night. I feel extreme changes in my energy field. Like i would get a rush of hot or cold tingly on my legs or chest. I always feel this heavy weight pressing down on top of my head when i try to get to sleep and thats when i know somethings in the room. Sometimes it feels like im being pushed into the bed but there's nothing there. Many times i have heard things, strange noises in my house. I was standing in my kitchen one day, no-one was at that end of the house, it was completely silent, when suddenly a something shouted in my ear! it was, wierd cause it was a whisper but right in my ear as loud as anyone could shout. I screamed"F**K!!" and turned round but there was no-one, nothing. It was that loud and it sounded like it was saying my name.

I have heard other noises, like one really loud heavy breath in a silent room, and its only me. I have got so annoyed with this that I tell the thing to piss off and leave me alone!lol. I walked outside one very black, eerily silent night just to stand outside, when suddenly, right beside, me I heard a high-pitched note being sung!! it was so loud and short, lots of vibrato! LOL. I just ran like feck inside. But I wasn,t really scared, it was like I had expected it to happen. and plenly of other freaky things…O.o

My wife and I have been in our house for over a year now and it's since then I have been having these nightmares. In my nightmare I will usually feel a negative presence in the room and I am usually helpless when this happens. Something pokes me in my side(rib) and won't let off. It is very difficult to wake up from this nightmare. I always start praying for it to go away. I usually wake up by sitting up very quickly with my heart racing. I also still feel the pain in my side. This is a terrible feeling. Has anyone else experienced or heard of something like this? I am almost 24 years old if it matters.

Recently the presence of a male ghost (in his late 40s early 50s) in my house has become stronger (as well as a little girl). It began about 2 months ago when I woke up at 4am with the sense that someone was watching me sleep. Since beginning March I now hear him walking into my room every 2nd night at 4am, he has clear calm footsteps. Just before he enters the room I get extremely sweaty (even though its cold) and he just stands at the foot of the bed for about 2 minutes then walks out again.

I went away for 2 weeks at the end of March and after returning home there was a smell of cigarettes in the 2nd bedroom. I've considered that as my house was built around 1880 (and living in England), there is bound to be some sort of activity. I have since been in contact with a pshyic who has been able to confirm that there are "positive energies" (I guess meaning good ghosts)in my house and without my mentioning she was able to tell me about the older male presence "visiting" me and making himself heard to me (which took me by surprise, as no-one knew this besides my husband who doesn't hear or sense a thing!). She was also able to confirm that he was addicted to smoking (hence me smelling it), she was also able to tell me that he is visiting often since end February and is very fond of me … Which is daunting and can be scary, though saying that I don't feel afraid of him but just really curious and apprehensive. I have since noticed that whenever I spend time at home alone (going straight home from work) and when I bake or cook (which isn't often), I feel his presence more often. I have now been told that he likes to be around me as I have "positive energy" and is not ready to go yet. I have asked for more information about him but it seems that he is very private & homely & just likes our company.

I'm now beginning to wonder if its ok for him to stay as long as he wants or if he will become too attached to me that it will be difficult to see him off, or if he will become anxious and become bolder, though I have been told he won't hurt me…. The little girl however is very shy and runs up our stairs on Saturdays at 7am, she doesn't play pranks on us and really keeps to herself. The only time I heard her, I was on the phone and standing in the front gardne, the little girl said "HI" on the phone, it was crystal clear as if she was standing besides me! My hearing has now become so acuate that I am waking up at 4am every night wondering what is the next thing that I will hear and I lay in wait to hear them move around. The question is if its ok to let these ghosts stay around or should I find them help? I have had senses of ghosts in the past but none that have been so "polite", there is no sense of fear when I am in the house but more a need to make it homely (even before the knowledge of my guests). What is strange is that neighbours cats seem to be attracted to our front door and garden. Should I be concerned?

i feel coldness around my legs when i am sitting in my living room.. and a very weird smell that i cannot describe. its a kind of granny smell .. can they be animal ghosts .. with it being round my legs? i was thinking it could be a cat ??

I think a spirit is trying to tell me something because i have this urge to look up a local murder that happened 25 years ago and the body was found in an auction barn. i also discovered that it was a local thing…a good friend of the family is having an auction at this location and ever since i have had the worst feeling that i have to go because something is going to happen..i have always been able to sense spirits and kinda know when one was around. i am just uncomfortable with this. i am not sure how to control the situation or understand it. i need another opinion from someone who understands what i am going through.

Three weeks ago I had to put my 11 1/2 yr old Boston Terrier (Coty) to sleep. He had heart disease and I had nursed him for almost two years. I was devastated. It was very hard as he was MY dog and very loyal to me. We spent a lot of time together and were very bonded. For the past few weeks I have felt a strong presence over my left shoulder. Not all the time, but almost daily. It's a bit comforting I suppose but I'm not really sure. I have had times throughout my life that I have been very intuned with things. Dreams about family/friends that die and come true that kind of thing. At times I have this "sense" but I'm not quite sure what it is. Can someone explain any of this to me? At times I have heard someone call my name but noone is there. I also had a dream of Coty last week. I dreamt I had let him outside. I knew he was "gone". When I went to let him in he wouldn't come. The neighbours fence was gone that separates our properties and there was a field of the greenest grass I had ever seen. I tried to coax him in but he looked at me and then at the field and then I woke up. I was really upset by the dream. It was like he was saying goodbye or that he was asking me to let him go.

I am most interested in the presence over my shoulder though. What do you think it is?

Hi, lately I have had weird stuff happening to me. Sometimes its like my ears don't work and I hear a high pitched noise for about a minute or so. Sometimes i hear screams in the corner of my room and whispers in my ear. Sometimes I get really sharp pains in my head. Sometimes it's like I stare off into the distance even while someone is talking to me. I feel tingling feelings all over my body. My hair stands up and sometimes when I'm in a public place I feel like I have seen it before. Please help me! Thanks.

hi id like to know if i am woken in the middle of the night by someone blowing in my face and theres no one there, is there a ghost present in the house?

my dad put a spell in this house. there was a hexagonal mirror and red paper, bamboo that was put around the entrance at 11 pm. i feel something different (i can feel presence of ghost very strong). something sees me at my kitchen and i think my dad put a spell in the middle of the dining room. cause if i cross the middle line i feel someone want to grab me.

to lise… you've been given a sight into the future of your friend's future. don't be scared cause it will not be permanent.

i feel like i have someone standing on my left side right next to me. i have had this feeling for many years could it be a spirt or my imagination? Please i feel like im going crazy sometimes

You need to call someone to come cleanse your room (get a pentecostal minister or catholic minister to come there) as this sounds quite serious to me … any spirit that causes you to feel scared or to be injured is not a good spirit but a bad one …

I had one that haunted me in my old house for 2 years before I had it excorcised … but you do get good ones … I have sensed my step-father's presence (a friend even saw him standing behind me one day – freaked her out big time LOL) many times in my current abode but he means no harm … if you feel like it intends harming you get help!!!

hi there,may i know if i dont have a evp equipment how do i get it?or i could just use any sound recorder?

In 5th grade we went to colonial williamsburg. I kept getting a headache, getting stronger as we got closer to this house, and vice versa. AND my friends mom photographed a ghost on her camera. So weird.

hi my name's Rose Chase and lately i've been wide awake and feel somoeone running there fingers through my hair. I really feel it and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it means. its really weird and been freaking me out.

what else can you feel from the departed?

Hi there, my names Shauna, and my husband and I have a 3 year old son. Our house has always seemed..kind of "off". Im not sure how to explain it really, it just has a heaviness to it. We've tried painting to lighten it up, remodeled our kitchen, and so on but nothing seems to help. Even with the curtains and windows open this feeling seems to prevail. We both notice it from time to time..and odd things have happened. One night I heard someone in our hallway calling out for someone, is one example.

Anyways, so now our son is having a really difficult time..I know he's 3, and he has an overactive imagination, but I have to wonder at times if theres not more to it. He wakes up countless times a week at night as many children his age often do, and crawls into our bed. He says he doesnt like the man in his room sometimes, and doesnt really elaborate much. And I must admit his room is kind of creepy..It's a nice room, we've painted it, made it really cute for a litle boy, we've gotten him several nightlights and so on..it's just that feeling, again. So, last night he ended up in bed with us and around 2 or 3 am his bedroom door shut, the noise it usually makes, its not an easy door to shut so it makes a lot of noise, but he was already in bed with us so Im not sure what to think.

I feel like, we need to keep putting him in his bed each night to keep him in his routine, but if he ends up in our bed I dont make him go back. On one hand I worry maybe there is something in there frightening him and am I being a bad parent for making him sleep in there? And on the other I feel like perhaps it is just his age as with most kids. But the fact we've experienced things ourselves in this house makes me wonder..  I know that the last two owners of the house have died, one of cancer in the house, and the other of cancer but wasnt in the house when he passed.  Ive always heard that the dead cant hurt the living, is this true? Thats all that really matters to me, I just dont want anything to harm our son. We plan on buying a different home in the next few years but for now we're stuck here.

Oh, one time my son came into our room when we was still awake laying in bed reading and he was crying hysterically, he ran in fast and came up into my arms and kept staring towards the ceiling and screaming dont hurt my mommy and it took us over half an hour to calm him down.

thanks for any insight =)

My family recently moved to a new home and we started hearing weird noises @ night such as foot steps and just creaking through the house. One night we were sitting in the bedroom talking about it all and we all got goosebumps and cold chills it was like it went from one person to the next. Since we have lived here my mother in law has felt somebody rub her leg while we were gone one night, last night she tells us she got really hot so she threw the bed covers off of her and when she did it felt like somebody grabbed her last two toes and they immediately turned ice cold.When we walk into our sons room its like we get this weird feeling and every night it seems like there is somebody in the house with us. Could this be a ghost or are we just crazy?? somebody please tell us!

Thank You

Lauren

hi shauna,

from your post, i can make out that there is surely a presence of heavy negative energy in your house. so obviously, painting it nice wouldnt make it lighter or make you feel relaxed.  let me tell you, your son does not have a powerful imagination. he just has a powerful sense of things which you dont. Recent research (2003) conducted by CIA concludes that children are more prone to pick up and intercept electro-magnetic fields. you yourself say that your room is "kind of creepy."

all i can conclude is that you have a serious paranormal presence at your home. as for the sudden banging doors and windows, it is caused by the ghost/spirit/poltergiest/negative energy present at your home. look out for flickering lights and/or dim lights when everything seems to be all right, because all sorts of negative energy needs to fill themselves up.

now, for what you can do: fix some spy cameras on walls and see if you pick up anything. install audio recorders and ask questions about the soul/ghost/poltergiest. leave it for a day or so, then hear it (by earphones) and see if you pick up anything. if you really want to get the answer to your questions, take an electromagnetic fiels sensor (a device that measures changes in electromagnetic fields) and see if there is strong fluctuation from outside to your house and in your kid's room. also watch out for cold spots, changes in elecric fields, flickering lights, etc

try talking to the spirit/ghost. never lose emotional courage. keep yourself strong, and positive. having a strong mindset will help you. and for the time being, try to make your son sleep with you guys. i am just a part time paranormal investigator, so cant tell you much. please consult a better one.

My Fiance just lost his mother last Wednesday and the Funeral was Saturday. Sunday we went over to his dad's house to check on him, I was speechless, I felt really cold and my heart rate was slowing down. It felt like someone was staring me down and trying to tell me something. My fiance thinks I am going crazy and that I am paranoid! I have seen ghost before and this one is kinda different. Its like an angel trying to tell her kids goodbye and tell them that she is watching over them. Here comes the scary part. This morning our pitbull woke all of us up at 6:30am and whining and coughing. We took her to the vet and the doc said she was fine and that she was grieving over (Nana).

I didn't know Dogs has feelings and she was crying. I told my fiance to take her to Petsmart to buy her a toy and to comfort her. Meanwhile he lost his wallet and it had several hundred dollars in there. We went back to the Gym and looked all over for it. At the corner of my Eye I thought I saw his mom. She was standing there telling me to go to the bleachers. So I did and the gentleman asked me what I was looking for! I told him a wallet that my fiance has lost a couple of hours ago, the nice gentleman told me to go to lost in found. Luckly there was a wallet with all his money in it! I had goosebumps the whole time! I don 't know if it was a ghost or an angel. I am so relieved that she was telling me where to go. My fiance now finally realize that I do believe in both and I can see and feel them. Meantime its going to take sometime to get over the fact that she is still here with us and won't let go! Now my question is how to tell her goodbye and tell her that we are going to be ok! She has 7 kids and they are all still upset! Ages 35 to 14 years old

i know how you feel. i have to look around to make sure no one is there and im confused and i don't know what to do.

@gabrielle: don't want it to go away. i know your probably scared, but this is a gift and you should use it wisely.

i have been recently sensing ghosts around me.  recently i think one moved through me and i couldnt move or talk barely. I have been sitting and a cold breeze didnt leave me alone wherever i walked. does any one have advice or help for me?

I have been feeling the presence of ghosts or having some very unusual sensations. I'd like to say that I do not drink or take drugs, and am on no medication; nor am I crazy. The story starts about eight years ago. when I decided to quit taking any mind altering substances into my body after i had an wierd reaction to the patch (nicoteen) to help with stopping smoking. I saw dark shadows at the end of my bed in the middle of the night. There was no way that the direction of the light that was thier would cast a shadow in that direction. A few month later I was in a old house, and one night the airs on my back when up like the feeling a scary movie makes me feel and I was not watching a movie or even thinking of anything that might make me feel this way (physically) i just had the hires go up. then a few feet away from my i saw a partial see through figure of what was a petite women or a young girl, due to the white stocking. I talked with some one about it and they told me the gost ran through me. since that day I have been experiencing the presence of ghosts (or some thing) sometimes I't scares me othertimes I qustion, my experience. I may never have an answer, what ever it is, it hasn't killed me yet, nore do I think it will. it sure makes me wonder about what comes after death. God knows.,

I have experience other thing as well, and was told that i have a gift, well I like to send it back, I sure dont want to be a ghost wisper.

I have the same feelings! Its your past, whoever u loss in your family, they feel like they have to protect u at all times! Its like a gardian angel! Don't be afraid, she or he is trying to protect u!

@ Rose: Have you have any exs from the past that died? If so maybe he is missing u and won't let go!

very worried i live in new home for 10 yrs now the same place and i have many ghosts of spirits. i am scared now because they are bothering family members and they think that i am crazy. HELP!  I have witnessed many things that these spirits have done.  Help me remove them please.  

yes this has happened but even weirder things have happened only because my guard was down once i was entirly numb couldn't move then a few seconds later i could move. one night a had a dream about flying or something which to me is bad when i woke up i feel down like i was floating in the air it was weird but nothing else like this has happened.

Kenya,
Where are you located? also what have you experienced in the home?

Hello, well my names Brenda and I'm 14 years old. Well many things have happened to me, like when I used to live on 124 Lake Avenue in Yonkers New York. Many things like hearing things ( my name being called, knocks on the wall, someone walking around the house with leather boots on with heels and screaming or a conversation being held by two people ) also feeling someone around me just either standing there or sitting next to me starring at me. Also during the long nights when I was the only one awake in my house, it would hit around 3:00 in the morning I used to see a white or black shadow either run across or just standing there from the corner of my eye. The first night this ever started happening was a Sunday Rainy night at 11:30 pm. Its crazy I still remember, then the last night it ever happened was the night we decided it was enough ( my mom and sister ), I've gotten pushed down steps in my apartment building, and felt the hand print on my back and my mom told me my back was a little pinkish.

Ever since I lived there Ive been continuously feeling either a scared, sad, crying, depressed, happy and more energy's around me every where I go. No matter if its inside or outside. I usually get a pain in my chest if its an angry energy. My mom was usually the one who can vision things in her dreams either the night before or a couple days before. My sister usually see's the presence dressed in either black or white. She told me about a dream she had a couple weeks ago about a demon of Christianity called Kasdaye. Dressed in a black dress thingy i think.. and he was a cat with red eyes and a white collar i think… she said it was a dream she never had before because in this one she couldn't wake up, I was scared because she told me I was the one saying "hes here, hes here"

Well all is good now, in the place i live in. Nothing has happened yet besides me hearing my name being called and no one was there, the TV being turned on and off, and things moving around or like i said feeling the weird energy's around me. I'm only writing this because I was sitting in my cousins room alone like i am now, and im feeling a scared presence where ever i go in this house. It scares me sometimes, mostly when im walking around in the dark by myself. Have any advice?

I guess maybe I'll start by giving a little history of my ghost experiences. I've been seeing at least what I think are ghosts since I was a child. They've never been a dark silhouette I've heard described by others but rather fully dressed individuals like I was looking at a regular person. I've seen them in my own home, outside, and in all parts of the country. None of these things have ever felt threatening to me. This has been going on periodically throughout my life. I feel, embarrassingly, that I can "feel" if something bad is going to happen. More recently I've felt touches on my body, had things fall from mantels, and my newest experience is hearing a man's voice say, "We have something we must give you." Is this something I need to be concerned about? Even though these things are not threatening, do I need to do something to get them to go away? Should I try and contact this entity considering something has seemed to be with me for a long time?
Let me know what you guys think!

I had dreams long ago like i was running away from someone and i could fly the last two night i started having this dream again. I have had my bed bumped but i was not scared about it i just figured it was my Boyfriends dad because i got his bed room set. Not the bed itself but the set i was told that his dad had passed away sleeping with that set which i was fine with because i now know the bumping was him. But i had a presence of someone it really scared me i don't frighten easily, but this really felt uncomfortable every time i started falling a sleep i was woken up by a presence i got goosebumps my stomach started tightening up I could not move this happened to me three times last night please let me know what you think.

God, i'm so afraid right now. I can feel this chilling feeling in my spine and, just like you wrote, it feels like i'm being watched. I'm very, very, VERY afraid of ghosts so yeah.. you get my point. I can also hear footsteps, like banging footsteps.. It's pretty wierd cuz people live below me, not above me, and i've never heard that before. What should i do?

@ Nicola april 22 2008…

I've just experienced the excact same thing !! It's now 3:05 am and i was having a bad dream. I saw satan and i felt the evil and sadness he could make people feel. This was intense…VERY intense…! afterwards i kindda woke up while i felt some kind of electro-shocks passing through my body – faster and faster. until i was like choking.. so i tried to scream and make it go away, but i couldnt..i just made babling noises that woke my girlfriend up..she got all freaked out to and started pushing me til i woke up and it stopped. Although i was already awake…this is SICK! im scared of going to sleep again..i was wondering ? did you feel the electro-stuns passing through your body ? ive felt it before but never in such a severe amount !

Glad to know im not alone…

Best regards

When I was younger everyone said my cousins house was haunted. I remember the dogs where barking like crazy so i looked outside in the back yard and they where running in a circle. in that circle that they where running i saw a white mist. the white mist slowly formed a boy. He had dark brown hair, bowl cut. overals. &&he was just starring at me. Being young I didn't know what just happend so i dropped it. I'm now 15. but I havn't seen that little boy anymore. but other stuff has happend. My bestfriend has mild schizo. &She has a friend. she moved to a new house&&Chose her room. After A While Strange things started happening. It started off with the closet in her room. I was going to grab a shirt. But the door was locked, (for some strange reason there was a lock inside the closet) I asked her why she locked it&&She said she didn't do it. So I picked the lock&Unlocked it. When I was pushing the door open, Immedietly the door slammed shut. &&That was it. For the meantime. Simple stuff would happen. Like if we left the room, the closet light would be off. &&When we came back it would be on. But then one day. We where cooking&&She decided to go up stairs to get the dishes in her room. I suddenly didn't start to feel right so i stepped around the corner&& Looked up at the top of the staircase &&Then she screamed. Loud. She ran down the stairs&Stared up at the hallway for a while then ran to me she had a scratch mark on her stomach&her back.

When she calmed down she told me what happened. She said she saw a figure. Nothing human. Nothing like a ghost. At the end of the hallway by her moms room. She said it was like black mist. &&It glided to her in a strobe like way. She said her door slamed shut&It was in her face breathing hard. We thought it was danny. (her friend) but it wasn't. Because in an odd way him&her grew a strange bond. He's not your normal schizo buddy. He said it was a demon. A demon that lives in his moms room attic. Danny.. I say he's an angel for gloria. Because when i'm not around to protect gloria he's there taking care of her. It's all strange.. i know. But i am not lieing at ALL. See i've known gloria for five six years now &&We grew to be really close. Her family has a history of paronormal stuff happening. Well.. that's not it. I have more to say. After that happend, seeing the demon thing. We stayed downstairs. Because danny said that the thing would not go downstairs. I saw gloria spacing out or looking around like something was weird. She went to an airvent.&&She stayed there for a while. She texted me, because she didnt want to scare her little brother, what she heard. I dont remember exactl what it was but it was something like this. "He's coming to get me.. god please help me. Oh no.. he's coming.. hes coming to get me!" At that time my right wrist was hurting badly. like someone was gripping it tightly&Wouldnt stop.

When i would touch it with my left hand it was insanly cold. I can't explain why that happens to me. But whenever that demon thing is out of the attic or near us. My wrist hurts&Goes cold. I /think/ it's because my cat scratched me when i was like 4.&I still have her three claw marks on my wrist. plus i have another cut that goes across it connecting to my palm. but where it ends. I got a purple line. I don't know. it's stupid, i know. But that's not it. I remember gloria telling me she woke up in the middle of the nght cause something hit her closet door&The light was on. Her phone was plugged next to her. she got up&opend her closet to see what it was. &Once she opend it she said that there was a tall dark figure. black shadow.&&All it said to her was "Hello" She ran back to her bed to grabb her phone but it wasn't connected to her charger anymore. she feel asleep after a while&In the mornignwhen she looked in the closet her phone was perfectly in the middle. Her mom has a boyfriend. &For some reason that demon thing growls at him. I remembe rmy wrist hurting&I told gloria. She said that danny said that the demon is growling at Jesus(her moms boyfriend) while he was sleeping. &It did nothing but that for about 2 hours. No body really likes jesus. (lol) &&Not so long ago it was about 1 am&It was me, gloria, &&her little neice. We where talking about what im tellin you now&Suddenly my wrist hurt&Was cold. I told gloria&She looked up at the airvent in her room. She told me its watching us. &&Once luis came in, Thats jesus's son, the thing started drooling. but when he left it stopped. I dont know. Right now as im talking about this my wrist hurts. but its not cold. When gloria had come home from school there was a package outside her house door. all it said on it wa "Sugar" that's her nick name. She opend it&There was a necklace in there. It was like a black rock. Split into 6 pizza shappes &within each on was a white dot. it was sourrounded by some metal stuff. When she looked to see where it came from it didn't have a return adress or anything.

Danny told her to wear it cause it was blessed in some way to prtoect her. Sometimes when gloria is sleeping &im up by myself in her house I get really depressed . like i just dont want to live anymore. &i start to cry, but i don't know why im crying. i just know i feel really sad. The lady who lived in the house befor gloria was an old russian lady. She's still alive. But living alone in a house like that? i dont know.. Sorry if some of it doesn't make sence.. I just wanted to let someone know. &&Maybe i'll get an answer of some sort. but.. thanks for reading if you did. if you have anything simaler or know something please tell me.

I also have another thing to say. This happend to me about a couple days ago? I was playing a video game. it was nothing scary. it was tony hawk. skating game. && out of nowhere i spaced out. My lighting in my room dimmned&i seemed to lose my hearing. && It seemed like i was in a different place. but i dont know where. I heard voices but i couldnt understand. &my wrist was hurting. After 3 minutes or so I snapped out of my trance. but i felt like i couldnt move. && I started talking to something. asking questions. like if someones here. stuff like that. then everything stopped. after a few seconds somthing big hit my door. but i dont know what.

Is it true tht 3 o clock in the morning is considered the devils hour?? Tell me someone please.

it have always happen to me seens a little girl i used to talk to a ghost when i was little in my room and everyone was sleeping and i used to talk to this men and out side there was a lot of ghost i could see them from the doog because it had windows and then i came to california and i didint feel or talk to anyone at nite but then my house got durn and then then i came back because my family made a new house and seens then i just feel people and see them and one time i was in the chiken and i feel someone that got close to me and i hear a weird sound on my ear and then i was all scared and in the nite in my room i feel like one that is with me i just cant go to sleep good with out that feeling and too my mom told me that i should go to the livingroom and iam not because i feel many people there with me when iam watching t.v

i am a teenage girl and my best friends mom can feel and see ghost i have had some sypmtoms i went to my friends house which she told me an old couple had died there years before and i walked into the kitchen and could feel something standing beside me i normally zone out or i get cold chills and my heart starts to pound i am only 16 and i really have no idea what to do with this my friends mom tells me i have a great gift and i should study up on it but im scared to death i mean i wanna be able to use my ability but i dont wan tto get hurt or have issues in the future or my family get hurt so i really dont know what to do.

Recently I stayed at a friends house with my boyfriend. My friend has 2 cats, one black and one black and white. She said the black one just showed up one day and she kept her. I had never been to her house so this was my first time. When I first walked in the black cat came up to me to pet her but when I reached down and picked up the little one, it looked me right in the face and hissed at me. I own 4 cats and have had cats all my life (I can't live with out having a cat in my house) and had never had an experience like that. Normally they hiss at you as soon as you try to get near to them. This one let me pet her and pick her up but when I turned her face to look at me she hissed.

Anyway, we were going to crash in the livingroom at first but then my friend said she was going to go out and we could have the empty bedroom. We laid down to sleep and I felt my body almost immediatly fall asleep. While I was asleep and heard a very clear voice in my ear tell me something which I could not remember once I awoke, but it said something that made me want to run out. but when I tried to move I couldn't. My body was paralyze and could feel this entity approaching to say something else. I wanted to scream so my bf could wake me but I couldn't open my mouth. I knew I was still asleep. Well when I finally managed to make a sound (I heard my self) my bf jumped up (I felt the bed move) and woke me up. I woke up very cold, heart racing and just as I felt the cold I felt super hot and started to sweat.

The strange thing was that I looked straight at the door and both cats were staring at me. Just sitting at the door. They would not come in the room or move, just staring. Shortly after the little black and white slowly moved away but the black one would not take her eyes off of me. She sat there and stared at me. I tried to go back to sleep and sure enough as soon as I fell as sleep I began getting images of something screaming at me, moving around the room. I jumped from met only to meet the stare of the black cat now sitting on top of the couch by the door staring at me. It was already daylight and she was still sitting there, she'd move her head to the side like hidding her face but would keep one eye on me. And I felt this sense that she did not want me to leave the room. My bf went up to her and touched her but she would keep staring at me. I had to go to the bathroom so he tried to distract the cat but the closer I got to the bedroom door I could see the hair on her back raising and she would not take her eyes of of me. He even tried to cover her eyes and she moved his hand. Sure enough, as soon as I was out the door gently trying to get to the RR, the hairs on her back were up and she was crouching gently coming at me. I ran into the restroom but on my way out she was standing in front of the door. I crouched down and she crouched down. I layed down and she laid down. I tried to walk out but got the same response. yet my bf could pet her with no problem. I finally just jumped in the shower and when I came out she sat there in the same spot but now I as I got closer I could hear her purr. I didn't dare go back in the bedroom. and the rest of the day she was fine and ended up falling asleep like she was exausted. My friend said that she has heard strange noises coming from that room and once woke up to find all the doors in the cuboard open. Q: can someone please shed some light on this.

Well this subject is very interesting, Iam actually one of those people who feels the presence of ghost or shall I say spirits. When i usually feel is bad energy, someone watching me, chills, but I also breath very hard but that's hardly ever. It could be fightening at some points cause your the only one who is experencing this! I thought I was crazy until people told me the houses that I went to where haunted. At those houses I would feel the presence The first house I actually had a kinda of a encounter with one! I was trying to get something from the couch I felt someone watching me then from the corner of my eye I saw someone comming behind me I started breathing hard and I turned around and no one was there! Then the second house I always felt someone watching me and one day my cousin told me he heard someone knocking on the door and that he went and no one was there and he was just two sec away from the door and that he also saw someone staring at him from my auncles room and no
one was home! So from these two stories I have convinced myself that I can feel ghost…it can be scary some points but trust
me you will get used to it. And hey am just 13….and I can feel
ghost only my 2 cousins know
about my secrets
and my best Friends I have a friend that can actually see ghost!

iv e been through a great spiritual experience of a loved one that has passed away. If you have experiences with a ghost bothering you and you want it to stop, all you have to do is get blessed by a shaman or a monk. This small ritual will stop them from crossing over to the real world. But if you want to contact the spirit of a beloved or hear them when they are trying to tell you something. You have to believe and really listen, anything can be a sign from them. Once they know your mind is capable of hearing their world, they will come stronger. But dont be afraid, accept it and be comfortable. Once you do, you will hear the message.
