I am Not "Woo" at all but this just happened

so I'm in no way, shape or form "woo" buuutttt just been sitting on side of my bed texting on my phone and my soundbar for TV (which I've had for 4 years with no issues) just decided to launch itself onto the floor, has hit my foot and cut it, picked it back up thinking how weird 🤷🤷 went back to my phone and a bottle of water, tube of face cream and a lip balm on top of my chest of drawers then launched themselves across the room, pretty freaked out by this point but still being rational in my head, picked phone back up carried on messaging back a friend, looked up to think what I was trying to type and felt a big tap /slap and literally saw my phone fly in the air and land other side of room, trying hard to think rationally but feeling pretty spooked right now
😭there's a rational reason for all this, yes???

It must be the earthquake it’s too big a coincidence for it not to be, surely.

It’s happening before your eyes. What’s not to believe?

I believe you! 5 years ago my teenage daughter and I, watched my phone move across the kitchen worktop and fall (slowly and diagonally) to the floor. We were gobsmacked! Years ago my friends family had to move house years ago, due to poltergeist activity. They're all non believers and refused to get.someone to cleanse the house. They opted to leave instead.

Lip barm throwing mice is deffo more likely than an earth quake/sink hole/collapsed mine shaft.

You sound fairly sane, so can't be that!

Draw a circle of salt around your bed tonight....just to be on the safe side 🤣

I'm going to put my whole 6 pack of ready salted walkers crisps around my bed right now in lieu of salt 🙏🙏

Nah, I’d be straight out of there after the phone slap. That’s terrifying.

Beeinalily · 09/02/2025 23:52

I had a similar experience in Margate OP and it actually was an earthquake, so don't dismiss the possibility out of hand!

I don't believe you. All those objects moving within a few minutes? You over-egged the pudding there! Would have been more believable if one object one day and another a couple of days later!

I don't believe me either, mad init how it actually happened right there in front of me, lying bastards!!!

I know you said you aren't into 'woo' or spirituality but you haven't been using a ouija board in the house have you? Have any visitors or your children?

I only ask because I did know of a case where a couple started to experience some very weird things after the woman and her mates had a session with a message board for a 'laugh' including finding lit candles in an empty room (at this point I would have been driving down the road, bags packed to be honest).

Also to add, she heard her mums voice on the baby monitor, my dad heard it too (her mum passed exactly 9 months before I was born). She can't explain it, but talking about it still scares her. Lots of friends also never liked going upstairs in their house. I never saw anything from what I can remember and I lived there until I was 6

Tbh, if you genuinely had psychosis, you'd likely be saying the same thing, as most people lack insight into their psychosis!

But if nothing else odd is happening for you and family etc haven't raised concerns, chances are you threw it yourself 🤷 That's how oouija boards work, after all. The power of suggestion is very strong. People definitely move them themselves but think they haven't!

I genuinely have Psychosis, what do I do??? asking for a friend👀

My mum has experienced a lot of strange things in her life. Shes an atheist and definitely wouldnt lie about it as she's as straight as an arrow

When my parents bought their first house in 1992, it was already around 80 years old. Dad was away for work a lot, so Mum was often alone with me and my brother, who were only two years and six months old at the time. At night, she would hear footsteps coming up the stairs and knew exactly which step was being stood on because they all creaked in a certain way.

One night, she left the landing light on for us and saw a shadow pass under her bedroom door. She immediately opened it, thinking one of us was up, but there was no one there. In my brothers room, she would pull the curtains open every morning, only to find them shut again in the afternoon.

She also smelled her mums perfume constantly, not just in that house but in every house shes lived in.

Back in lockdown, we both experienced something that absolutely terrified us. I wont go into it, but it completely changed the way I see things.
