Unexplained Experiences... and LOLghosts

[Sheezy]

I beleive in ghosts to an EXTENT.
I think those wackjobs running around in old houses with video cameras and such are crazy.

Ive had a few weird things happen to me... a few ghosts, premonitions of 9/11, and god knows how many deja vus...

When I was little (maybe 7 or 8), I had a couple in my old house in maryland. It was an older house (although not hundreds of years old). Anyway... one night I walked out of my room half asleep to go to my grandmas room. Im usually not allowed to do that, and was hoping noone was looking. Before I ran across the hallway I looked down it towards the living room and saw a tall woman in a nightgown staring out the window. When I saw her I thought it was my mom and yelled to it "mom?" It just looked over at me, and started to come towards me. I saw that it wasnt my mom, but a ghost that was definitely not my mom. I immediately had a feeling of terror and ran into my grandmas room and shut the door shaking. Never saw her again (but also was never up at that hour again).

Second was on my way to bed when I was about the same age and in the same house. There was a man in an old fasion nightgown leaning into a closet that wasnt open as if he were looking for something. When I came around the corner he leaned back out of the closet door and looked right at me. I couldnt notice he had a cat that was exactly like my moms that had died 5 years before. I stopped immediately, but he didnt seem to care I was there and went on with what he was doing. I ran back to my parents room, and by the time I went back, he was gone.

Many years later when i was a sophmore in high school I had another creepy thing happen. Right before I went to sleep I laid there and just thought. I always seem to have to sit and think for atleast an hour before I can actually fall asleep. Anyway... My mind wandered, and finally settled on an idea of a plane flying into a building. I kept visualizing a big airliner crashing into a smaller white building, which kinda looked like the pentagon actually, and then larger buildings. All I said was "wow, that would suck... I hope that never happens to me"
The next morning I turn on the tv and watch a plane crash into the world trade center buildings. I couldnt believe my eyes. And that feeling of WTF? in my chest when I realized this was exactly what I saw the night before in my thoughts before I went to bed... overwhelming

Ive had other small things like having "feelings" about things... like having a bad anxious feeling a few hours before I or friends get pulled over, guessing the superbowl winners EVERY year, even though I dont follow much football, etc.

Haha your woman in the nightgown really reminds me of my experience in my old house.

If we are talking premonitions, well, the 9/11 thing happened to me too. I dreamt the night before that I was on a plane crashing into a low building. When I saw the photage on the TV, I thought that someone was playing a trick on me, I couldn't believe that I had already seen 9/11 and the plane in the Pentagon. I lived about 8 miles from the Pentagon at the time. I kept on asking my mother (I was home sick that day...the only time I was ever home sick from High School) "are you SURE this isn't a tape"?

I frequently have dreams about what is going to happen. I once woke up with the awful feeling that my friend Deep had tried to commit suicide. I called him up and he groggily answered the phone. I asked him if he was hurt and he said that he had been cutting him forearms that night, trying to end it all, but hadn't succeeded. That was the first time he had ever seemed to me to be suicidal. I kept a close watch on my dreams and feelings after that.

I have seen a few things before they happened, including having an uneasy feeling involving breast cancer right before my mother was diagnosed with it. She had waited a while to tell me, and that whole time I had felt uneasy, wondering if I was going to get it when i got older. Now there is a good chance of that.

Didn't see this thread until after I posted a few stores on the 'Photoshopped?' thread about a building I lived in a long long time ago. Go there for them.

Here's a couple others that happen to my wife and me while we were there.

- We'd always lose things. Little things, like a particular pot or pan or a bill or book or a shoe or something. We'd tear the place apart looking for it, and as soon as we gave up, it'd show up "right there" in the open. Okay, so every now and then you misplace something only to find it later. Fine. But all the freaking time? I'm not that absent minded.

One particular example of this... I went to the post exchange and bought two packs of curtains. They were supposed to include little matching strips of cloth to tie back the curtains ("curtain ties" go figure!). My wife and I opened the sealed package on our completely cleared off dining room table and removed the curtains. No ties in either package. So, we stuffed them back in the packages and we went back to the PX to return them and get more. Mind you there was absolutely NOTHING on the table when we left. We returned a few minutes later with new curtains only to find the missing ties on the middle of the table. :shrugs:

- For a short period of time while we were there... I don't remember exactly now as it was 20 years ago, but it was something like a couple of days to a week one summer... the fire/smoke alarm kept going off in the middle of the night. It would sound only once and would turn off after about 10 seconds. All of us in the building heard it and we called the post engineers to check them out. Nothing wrong was found with them, but they kept going off for a while then it never happened again. The really strange thing about this is that the alarm was hard wired into the MP office on post and they never saw the alarm (but did when the engineer tested it). :shrugs:

- The only thing that happened while I was living there that was "scary" is that one night my wife and I heard a pretty blood-curdling scream. One of the other tenants told me the next morning that he and his wife heard it, too. But the other three didn't.

- All of us noted that every now and then we 'felt' like there was someone/something else around. But it is impossible to quantify or really describe it, so it's hard to cite it as something that happened.' One guy noted that he sensed something when he was climbing the steps to his apartment. I would sometimes feel a wisp of air on the back of my neck. One other guy said he'd hear something now and then. All these are too easy to chalk up to active imaginations, but could have been just that.

Whatever was 'in' that building was never mean or belligerent.' It seemed like it/they were just bored more than anything else. Of course, as army officers none of us reported any of this (not a good career move, we concluded), but we did all share stories with each other.

Did anyone watch Ghost Hunters International last night? Probably not, but it was one of the best episodes yet. There was a dog that just wouldn't go into the castle(?). This was in Transylvania BTW. Also, they caught some cool EVPs of something talking in Romanian, and one guy was terribly scared by something he jumped and quickly crawled/ran up the stairs... He's one of the BEST investigators on the team and it takes alot to scare him... ANYWAY
Great stories everyone, I love reading them all...

I used to see this figure in my dreams. Sorry for the crude drawing, I was in a rush. It's a tall shadow that is somehow 3d, but yet not 3d. I have no idea how to describe it. It would appear from the shadows in my dream and get very tall, loom over me, and then drag me back into the shadows if I tried to runaway. My brother had the same exact dreams of this same figure, which is the part that is creepy about the whole thing.

4. I really liked the story about the weird cat creature and the child on the monitor.

Hehe, thanks. Sometimes I get a bug up my butt and search the internet for possible animals that it might have been. (Maybe a multiated, miniature fox het for possum?) To this date, I haven't found anything.

 

[ZoologyMajor]

Midnightgallop - That looks like the man in the yellow hat from Curious George hehe

MrsCornSnake - The creature actually sounds familiar for some reason. I'll have to check my resources and see if I can find out anything for you. BTW I love how you described it as "something HET for something." Snake talk never escapes us.

haha yeah it does. I never watched curious george and still haven't ever seen it, so I never made that connection. That's funny.

 

[Mr.AJ]

Turns out one of the shows i regulary watch which is normally about the emergency services is now having a paranormal night, So rather than turning it off like i would normally ill post some of the stories they talk about.

The one thats on at the moment is the Biggin Hill aviation hauntings.. Reports of "phantom" spitfires flying in the sky and pilots dressed in full period aviation uniforms asking people in the villiage for directions and then disappearing... Creepy eh?.

 

[Mr.AJ]

Hey Snakesrule, You'll love this... In the other thread you challenged me to go to a haunted site, So i've been looking for one local to me. So after some googling... i came across this list. You see the top result, Wardle brook avenue? Thats around the corner from me. Literally. We're talking im sat about 30seconds walk away from the (Now non-existant) house.
I knew the moors murderers lived close, But never knew it was that close!

*grin* I can't help it. It's seeped into my brain.

If you could, I would really appreciate it! I knew this guy who has lived in the sierra's all of his life. A real mountain man, you know? Anyway, he talks about tree cats which are apparently lemur-like things that are in the woods. (Also, he's the only person I've ever heard talking about these creatures, but he's sure they exist.) What I saw wasn't lemur-like in the least, but obvisually there's some weird stuff around there.

 

[ZoologyMajor]

Do you think you could do a rough sketch of it so I can show it to my friend? It doesn't have to be a good drawing.

 

[dwyn127]

I used to see this figure in my dreams.

Maybe it was this guy!

DITTO!

I've gotten the deja vu more often than the lucid dreams.

I knew you were gonna say that.....

 

[ZoologyMajor]

LOL that was funny!!

 

[midnightgallop]

LOL That's awesome.

 

[clipclopclip]

I wouldn't mind that guy stalking my dreams ^^

 

[Mr.AJ]

You ladies should see me unshaven in a cowboy hat.

Pure.

Raw.


Sex appeal.


No, honest.

Are you going to check out the area? How about the Mrs. Potter place? I wish I could go with ya.. the only thing close to me here is he Jersey Devil, and the thing is scary as hell! There was a sighting in '07 of it being in Trenton..
Oh and something creepy... Might be just a coincidence... that's kind of my name (except I have an a at the end) and I as born in July, when she disappeared and was found...

Heh the Pauline girl only lived around the corner, My girlfriends nan remembers her. Before our time though.

I could check it out, But the house was knocked down. That streets not exactly the best to be going down at night either if your a Single white male! Next time im headin out to the petrol station for late night supplies ill take the shortcut and see if i can snap a few photos of the site for you though. (Late night supplies being 3am! Less chance of me being stabbed for the camera then!)

 

[SnakesRule1234]

3 am is the best time... also called "Dead time" for those who watch Paranormal State here in the US.. Do you have some kind of EVP recorder or something that can capture sound? There was reports of children crying so maybe you could catch that...
