i had an odd experience that i can't explain.?

Question

i'd be most greatful if someone could explain this experience to me. about a year ago, my wife and i were in a house that had been converted into an antiques shop. the whole time i was there, i felt as though something or someone didn't want me there, because i felt like something was sitting on my chest. i swear, i've never felt a pervasive sense of something evil in a house like i felt in that place. once i got out of the house, the feeling left, and i asked my wife if she'd felt it, and she said 'no'. i told her i was never going back in that place. what i didn't know at that time, but found out much later, was that a horrific double murder had taken place in that very house a few years back. the offender wasn't one of the ones that died. he's in prison for life. what did i feel in that house that didn't want me there? why did i feel it, and not my wife?

Answer 1

You are just more sensitive to the "aura" of the house then your wife and the others. Everything leaves it's mark. Horrific tragedies like that will leave a negative "fingerprint" on the house. You just happen to be sensitive enough to feel it.
It is kinda like going up to someone that gives you the creeps. You don't know what makes you not like the person, but you know there is something.

Answer 2

The physiological basis for emotion.

All you need is something wrong in your chest, just like the normal feeling of discomfort from sleeping wrong and then standing a specific way, but where you did not have nerves, or you were for some other reason not noticing it.

The body gets many primal emotions when the conscious becomes aware of physical changes in the body, in your case, all you needed was to be completely unaware of some discomfort, and then have it shift so that you could feel it, like from shifting posture, for instance. This change, especially in the chest, is enough to set off the emotional changes corresponding to distress, and since you are not aware of what is going wrong, this is an ambiguous input.

The conscious mind does NOT like ambiguous input, and will rationalise it in the most plausible way it can in the time given, which is exactly the same as feeling something that wants to harm you for no action on your part, and unless I am very much mistaken, wanting to harm someone for no real reason is the same as "evil" - in other words, exactly the kind of evil presence you felt.

Finally, for the many many people that this has happened to, lots of them went back, humans are after all curious creatures, and it was always going to be that in the last (x) years something bad had happened somewhere. After all, incidents described as 'horrific' tend to stick in the memory.

The last thing I have to say is that if you go in there thinking that you will feel it again, you will. If you think you won't, you won't.

Explanation done!

P.S. You will also notice why your wife felt nothing. :)

Answer 3

You got "stuck" in an energy path, better known as a PORTAL. You most likely touched several objects in the store that made you equal to a sponge soaking up water & when you were full (that feeling in your chest), you did just what you should have done---you went outside, where the energy could freely leave your body. You actually did a good thing for an unknown object! I doubt that the murder or the con had much to do with it, except that this would make the property a magnet for other objects with lost (or misplaced/misdirected) energy! You have a gift & you did the correct thing when you followed your instincts to go outside. Your wife has other gifts that are different than yours. Whose idea was it to go into this shop? I'm guessing it was hers! Sometimes it is better to shop alone until you get used to your new sense of awareness, this way there is less confusion!

Answer 4

some people are just more sensitive to that stuff than others. ghosts hate me, I've lived in haunted houses and never seen a thing. but I have friends who seem to draw ghosts, and others who, like you, can feel when something evil has left its mark on a place. what you most likely felt was not that the house didn't want you, but your own instincts telling you that was a bad place for you to be. because evil does leave a mark, and places do have memories.

Answer 5

It sounds as though there might be some sort of presence in the house, possibly one of the victims. As far as why you felt hostility directed towards you, I'm not sure, but it's possible that you're just more sensitive to the spirit world than your wife, which could explain why she didn't notice anything.

Answer 6

Energy and people can be absorbed into houses/buildings.
Some people are sensitive to this just as some are more sensitive to the sun.
I pick up on energy at alot of different places.
When I bought my house, people thought I was crazy. I sat on the dirt and held the soil in my hands. Then I walked barefoot in the house. I picked a good place to live, alot of good energy.
I even hugged the trees, believe it or not they carry alot of energy, if you listen they will tell you what you need to know.
God speaks through energy/spirit all we need to do is listen.

Answer 7

Everything has a "memory," including things we do not consider "alive."

Obviously, you "connected" with the "memory" contained within the building structure and it caused a reaction.

I used to repair burglar & fire alarms many, many years ago. And, during the process, I would enter buildings when they were unoccupied, late at night, or early in the a.m. (during dark hours).

I don't believe in "God," ghosts or spirits, but I can assure you each building has its own "personality." Where it comes from, I don't know, but some buildings were "friendly," and others were "hostile."

And, it had nothing directly to do with the people since no one was inside (other than me).

But, I don't believe there are "evil spirits" waiting to pounce on people.

Answer 8

Well it was proabably the presence of the poor people who died and mabey it wasn't that they didn't want you there but that you have gift to tell when there are spirts and thats good.
Becuase they are probably rlly dromatized souls and they arn't good to be around.
You wife might nto have been able to feel it for many reason one mabey she doesn't belive in spirits or many other reasons.

Answer 9

When you felt like something was "sitting on your chest" do you mean when you were going to sleep or waking up? It sounds very like "sleep paralysis" to me, which is a very natural phenomenon. Not that it couldn't be spiritual in nature, but the simplest explanation is to be preferred, and is usually the right one.
