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

[Tacsi]

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???

Because you wouldn't dare to say you're anti Muslim.

A talk by an RC Exorcist.

16.24 explains the types of demonic activity.

Edited to add: I meant to quote the post that said "because you wouldn't dare criticise Islam"

Would I not? I'm an equal opportunities religion scorner.
I regard all religion as silly, pointless and manufactured as the gods of ancient Greece. People will believe in totally different "gods" in a few centuries' time. Countless people will die in their name, too.

On a lighter note, I love that there's a Wikihow on how to get rid of ghosts!

I find it confusing how you say these things happened in front of your very eyes yet you still don't believe in ghosts 🤔

What is wrong with saying you’re anti any religion?

I believe a lot of harm is done in the name of religion, and this isn’t unique to Catholicism or Christianity in general

My money's on seismic/subsidence activity and the brain trying to make sense of it.

For those who've felt weight on the bed, look up sleep paralysis and hypnogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations.

I know I've had a few things where I can't tell if I really heard them or my brain conjured them up when half asleep - I do get very vivid dreams, and sometimes when I'm semi-conscious, rifting off or waking, I just haven't known what caused a half-remembered sound.

What I notice with ghost stories and potentially supernatural stuff, is that on almost every occasion the person in question is going through some kind of stressful change in life even when they are feeling no obvious stress symptoms day to day.

There is often a bereavement or someone is very ill, they have just moved in somewhere, they have started university, there has been a marriage break-up, there is a teenager going through adolescence, or they are having problems in their job or career.

I guess a believer would say there are spirits trying to help or show you something in a difficult situation. A sceptic (and I fall on that side of the fence in spite of what I've seen myself) would say it is all coming from our own minds.

Like OP said, there are a multitude of possible causes/explanations that are infinitely more plausible than "ghosts", because ghosts do not exist.

I'm atheist too but I do believe in spirits and their energy remaining.

I lost my DB two years ago and I am struggling with it. One day I turned around to the kitchen worktop and there was a large white shadow/light there, then it disappeared. I thought it was salt or flour that was falling down but nothing. It wasn't the sun either. I honestly believe it was something. Nothing before or since.

I do believe in ghosts but not that they are spirits of the dead. I believe they are dreamt, imagined or hallucinated.

You didn’t ?

"A total of 28 earthquakes have been recorded across the country since the beginning of 2025, all of which have been strong enough to be detected by the British Geological Society and measured on the Richter scale."

Maybe ask the BGS?

This has reminded me of the thread about the missing clock chains - did they ever return, does anyone know?

Pretty patronising.

The OP commented on another "woo" thread fairly recently to say that no, they didn't turn up. Weird eh?!

Nah - poltergeist! Run!

@HowamImiddleaged , sorry about the loss of your DB.

I'm interested in how you describe what you saw though. I've mentioned on previous woo threads that I once saw something that I described as sort of twinkling/sparkling tiny lights, about the height of a person. I'd also lost a family member and this was the culmination of quite a number of strange things that had happened. I was really scared! (My dogs didn't react at all though.)

When I told my brother about it, he thought it was funny because I'm well known for my love of Christmas, so he said it was appropriate for me to have a ghost made out of fairy lights!

Your description of falling salt or flour kind of made me think about the sparkly lights that I saw, it could be similar.

So weird, I find myself mulling over the missing chains every now and again.

I think it happens. Once I was sitting in my room and a can of deodorant or something just started rocking like someone has pushed it with a bit of force. I just say watching it like ok thats weird. Complete one off weird moment. Also had a TV turn on by itself once or twice when I was in bed. It was a family members tv who had passed away.

It was like a shimmering puff of flour, about 3ft, it was moving slightly and then it disappeared.

I believe in energy never dying and so I believe the spirits and souls of those who have died remain. Not in our realm but in another one but at times they try and come through.

It really stopped me in my tracks. I've never experienced anything like it.

Thank you for your condolences, it's his birthday this week which I know I'm going to struggle with.

No recordings of anything since last Wednesday. We have featured on here for micro activity. Local blasting for lithium - I think it measured less than 1 and I had thought it was someone loudly slamming a garage door. Nothing fell/flew off anywhere.

Don't know what you experienced, but have had many weird experiences in my life. I'm usually freaked out for about 5 mins then shrug them off. I have never felt the need to go to the GP about it and yes we have a CD monitor. Do I think it's woo? Sometimes when I miss loved ones I like to think it is, but then I think "there is probably a non woo explanation".

Not at all.

The Catholic Church will not entertain the idea of demonic activity until a full Mental Health screening is done.

if I'd experienced the same levels of abuse by an Islamic sect as many, many Catholics have by their church I would. Just in our extended family we've had SA, baby sold to Americans, beatings at school etc. I despise the Catholic Church and the damage it does on both a personal and global scale.

The only logical explanation is some sort of strong vibration, burst of air or magnetic phenomenon.

Given your location, possible explanations I can think of:

• Earth tremor, including from active mining blast, disused mining subsidence (including ancient mines)

• Blast of air, including from super fast/stealth planes, natural gases or possible collision of different types of air (coastal/mountain air), sudden gust of wind (down a chimney in your room?)

• Something to do with magnetic fields, including someone you live (teenage kids) has rigged up an elaborate prank with super magnets

Most explanations are likely to have affected other objects in your home, rather than solely items around your bed/in your hand.

Or you’re hallucinating without realising or having us on.
