To ask if anyone has had any paranormal encounters/experiences

[HowlingBitch]

Or do we all need another ? I just find it all fascinating.

Not at all, glad you bashed ole Jack Black though...I swear if I have to see him doing a "crazy guitar solo" one more time.........

So many messages from a thread that was only started last night.. is that some kind of record..
I only found this story out when i was 13 or 14, my parents seperated when i was 5 so my dad told me first that when i was born to the time i was 3 or 4 i would constantly stare at things and try to reach out and grab as if someone was playing with me, Id just chuckle to myself all day long but still staring into space, the scariest time for my parents was when they had put me to bed then came to check on me a few hours later to find me sat in my rocking chair with a book on my lap and the pages turning over on there own, i was sat laughing away apparently and when they asked me who i was talking to i began to cry saying they had scared him away, i described them to him as a tall man in blue clothes with black bits on them, My mum was petrified of this - her dad, my grandad who had died 3 years before i was born, had died whilst at work as a mechanic from a heart attack.

I checked this with my mum later as i though my dad was making it up, but she said yes its all real, still thinking they were having me on as i didnt remember any of it, i later found it to be true as i was minding my youngest cousin at my nans house, we were in the kitchen making dinner when he ran out crying, i tried to get him back but he kept crying saying the man was looking at him pulling faces... he was petrified and when i said what man he described a tall man in blue clothes! I literally grabbed him by the hand and ran out.

I do think the young can "see" though then somewere along the way it dissapears... so sad though, i love to be able to still do it now

I think the werewolf thread was in chat. I found a link to it in a watched thread of mine but the link says the thread is no longer here.

Ahhh you evil evil people! I am trying my hardest to stop myself reading this thread but I really really want to!

DH is away on business all next week so I will be on my own with ds! The last time I was in any house on my own was when I was 15 and I scared myself silly! I slept in the living room with the tv on, dying to go the loo but too scared to get off the sofa never mind go all the way up the stairs!

I am the biggest scaredy cat in the world (and yet I love reading spooky stories?!?)

I am quite convinced that my grandad visits my son. I know that if he were alive he would love him to pieces so I always think that whenever ds does the "I see dead people" thing (laughing at nothing, staring at nothing etc) that it's my grandad come to play.

Now reason tells you that as I loved my grandad so much I wouldn't be scared of him would I? Except I know for a fact he'd scare the living daylights out of me just for a laugh!

Yes I have had several paranormal experiences. Some of them not very pleasant, and one made me absolutely furious.

Frogs if it was your post about the stairs not feeling 'right' then yes it was you!

But it was all the others too so dont feel bad!

Its all ok now as the sun is shining and the kids are awake.

Glutton for punishment that i am....I'd love to read about the werewolf.

i have had what you might call paranormal experiences but usually in dreams.

the years of the thai/indonesian tsunami, i was staying down with my parents and family for xmas. after going to bed around 1pm after much eating and tv watching, i awoke at exactly 3am (i know this as myself and my sister had to camp out on blow up beds in the living room as so much family were staying over for xmas and there's a clock in living room) after the, what i thought at the time, was the weirdest dream.

i dreamt that i was surrounded by lots of people, standing near, surrounding me. it felt like thousand of people, as if i was in the middle of a crowd.
i looked up at the sky, which was kind of twilight colour, and saw a swirling whirlwind, almost cartoon like, coming towards us. When it hit us we were covered over with a wall of water.
I huddled down with all the people but in my dream i could see under water. The water was a beautiful south pacific blue. I saw tree uprooted, cars and debris floating all around.

i woke up thinking 'WTF, where did that dream come from' was i couldn't relate it to anything i was thinking in my waking life.

sounds strange but felt the dream didn't belong to me.

i heard that those leaving the earth/dying send a message to the living.

the creepiest thing is that 3am (our time, when I had the dream) is about 10am in thailand, the time the tsunami struck.

oops, that should read 'the year of the thai/indonesian earthquake. you know, in 2004

No, because there's no such fcking thing!*

Terraviva I completely agree with you about the love thing. Being the scaredy cat that I am, when I was little my mum used to tell me that if I ever had a bad dream or was scared I was to say my grandads name and he would make me feel better. He wasn't even dead then but it always worked, I knew that he loved me and would protect me and of course that he was magic and could do anything! I always believed that when I said his name he knew I was feeling scared/sad and he would make me feel better.

My mum has had a lot of strange experiences and yet the times we have been to those medium things, my mum and I get ignored. The medium will come over to us, shake their head and then walk away and this goes on for the whole night however the lady sitting next to us once got a message which was "There is a bell going "ping""

The lady hadn't a clue and even said, but bells go ding, not ping? But it did mean something to my mum and I - the week before we had had to get my mums cat put down, but for the whole day before this I had been syringe feeding the cat glucose solution, to try and keep her energy levels up. I said to my mum that the cat had had so much sugar she would be "pinging off the walls" I don't know why I said "pinging" not bouncing. The cat's name was Isabell. I still don't know why the medium couldn't have told us directly though.

Similarly, my mum was once approached by a fortune teller who took her hand in the street, then dropped it as though she had been burned, looked at my mum with a look of horror on her face then ran away.

My brother, sister and I have all had hallucinations when we were about 7 years old and suffering from a fever. I understand that these were just hallucinations caused by illness but they are a bit wierd. Both my vision and my sisters involved seeing people who weren't there...mine was scary but my sister's was.

My brother's hallucination also terrified him at the time. But terrifies me even more! He became hysterical every time he looked at me, screaming that I had been stabbed all over and was bleeding every where. My mum made me go to another room because I was upsetting him so much! (What about me?!? ).

Even wierder, is that my brother, from he was little, ever since he was able to talk, has always maintained that if he looks at a knife (or any sharp pointed object) it hurts his head.

Do you know what this leads me to believe? That I am going to be stabbed to death while dh is away on business this week. Fan bloody tastic. And I will not be asking my brother to keep me company: as the knife wielding maniac is running at me, he will be rolling about the floor clutching his head!

I meant "mine wasn't scary but my sisters was"

Everytime I've gone to a fortune teller, they always say that my psychic 'skills' are very strong and that I should harness it better:)

My 3 year old DD has a few imaginary friends. Normal at this age - she chats to them, gives them food, etc.

However, two of her 'best' imaginary friends are called Alice and William. Both the names of my husbands grandparents.

One night, after DD was 'playing' with William lots that day, I asked her where he was gone. She said 'to the college'.
I thought it was weird until DH told me his grandfather worked in a university later in his life before he died!!!

We smell smoke regularly in my house even though none of us smoke. not just this house but in my other house too. We (inc my very sceptic DH) believe its my dad.

"No, because there's no such f*cking thing!"

Tell that to my children. My daughter frequently woke in the night screaming and kicking like she was trying to get away from something, and with scratches in places she couldn't physically reach. My son described something standing in the corner of my daughter's room that definitely wasn't human, and my daughter would sit at one end of her bed staring at that corner, and we had scratches all along the wall in her bedroom too high for us to make that definitely weren't there when we put her to bed.

I grew up in haunted house.Lovely house but glad when we moved tbh.I do think people have to see it to believe it.

Oh and my sister and my mum witnessed things in that house.Singing,footsteps,doors slamming etc.So I know I didn't imagine it

I believe in premonitions aswell.As I had re acuring dreams about my brother.One of them was me flying through a grave yard.I stopped at a headstone with my brothers name on.Later that day my mum phoned to tell me he was dying and to get there asap

I tend to be a it of a skeptic, only I think because I would scare myself shitless if I didn't try to think it wasn't all real.

One thing that sticks in my mind particularly though happened to my DP just over a year ago.
My MIL was away on holiday so we were looking after her three dogs.
Tico, an old collie, however became very ill and after days of visits to the vets to try and make her better it was decided she should be put down.
That night we went to stay at DP's grandparents house.

When we woke up in the morning my DP told me about what he could only describe as a strange dream.
He had woken up during the night to the door opening and Tico walking in and talking to him, telling him Thank you. And then just disappearing.

Whether this was actually a dream or real I don't know.
But I like to think Tico was happy to stop suffering and wanted us to not worry anymore or feel guilty.

Haven't finished reading the thread yet, but I was the one who told the werewolf on a farm one - last time, I rang my ex-boss to tell me the story, and I wrote it out on here.
As far as I can remember correctly, here goes:-

I worked on a farm near Pendle Hill (think witches, spooky etc) There was a field that wasn't really used - they occasionally cut it for hay or silage, but no-one was allowed to go alone, and they always took a gun.
A few years before, there were sheep in that field, and there were nasty cases of sheep worrying, and several sheep killed and some missing. The vet was called to give his verdict as to what was doing the damage - he said the teeth prints were similar to a dog, but bigger than he had ever seen.
Thinking it was a dog, my boss and his son went out that night with guns to get the dog.
It was about 11pm, they were hiding behind a wall watching (the field was surrounded by tall walls, maybe 5 ft tall, and backed onto a wood. So they were waiting, and they saw in the dark, but shadowy from moonlight, something huge climb over the wall and sort of lope towards the sheep, near to where my boss was hiding. It went quietly near the sheep then had a burst of speed and grabbed a sheep with it's mouth, my boss stood up with the gun ready to shoot, and the thing must have heard him because it dropped the sheep and stood
up on it's hind legs looking round. It was huge, and towered above the nearby wall. My boss reckoned it was at least 8 ft tall. He and his son jumped into the land rover and raced home, terrified.
The next day, they moved the sheep to land the other side of the farm, and never put animals in there again.
Anybody new to the farm was warned against going to that field.

Ok I've been reading this thread on and off between giving myself the creeps. I'm not really a believer, but I love reading about peoples experiences so I'll add mine. The only time I've seen something weird was when I was six; I was really ill, so ill I had to have complete bedrest for a week; so i was tucked up in bed. I'm Indian, but not a Hindu, but I'm familiar with some deities and such. Anyway in my dream i was lying in my bed, the bedroom door opened and in walked in Vishnu and his wife (I forget her name), they walked round until they were next to my bed and he held my hand. I couldn't move, and I just watched them walk out again. I woke up screaming! I've always put this down to fever induced dreams and never told anyone. My parents are not religious - no statues, pictures, anything. It's creeping me out now... I'm off to hide on some thread about Hollyoaks or some such.

I started reading this last night but got too spooked to carry on and I'm glad I went to bed or I never would have slept!

Fascinating reading, and I have had shivers so many times reading these posts

I also remember when my ex(i've had quite a few ) was driving up the road.It was really quiet.Really strange as it links on to a main road and is always busy.Anyways at the corner of my eye I seen someone in the middle of the road coming up towards the side of the car.I looked and this goth looking man was floating along the side of the car then faded away when he got to the front of the car.I nearly shat myself.We both had seen it so there was no thinking I was delusional.The 1st thing my dad said when I got home was "you look like you've seen a ghost"lol.

I always thought maybe someone had been runover scateboarding as it's next to a park.I thought he maybe was skateboarding at 1st but there was nothing underneath his feet.Very strange
