Men and Women: Have you ever had a "paranormal" experience?

Question

Seen a u.f.o? Lived in or been inside a haunted house? Had a psychic's prediction come true? Seen a ghost? Had a dream that came true? Telepathic communication? Telekinesis?

Or other hard-to-explain situation?

Please describe!

I wouldn't necessarily call this paranormal, but twice I have seen "u.f.o.s"- once back in 2003 in Buckley, WA, and again in 2004 in Tacoma, WA. Same craft. (In Tacoma, there were two of them.) The crafts did not fly like airplanes. They accelerated very rapidly and could change direction in ways that planes can't. It was very odd. (In both sitings there were multiple witnesses, too.) Very odd.

Also, I used to live in a house that had some really strange, unexplainable things go on while we lived there. I lived that house for 13 years. During the course of that time, I found out that the house directly across the street from me AND the one right next door to it, had similar things go on in those houses, as well. Although I can't say my house was haunted, I can tell you that those two neighbors were convinced that their houses were. All I know is that the strange things that happened in my house have yet to be explained.

Jackal: I didn't give you a "thumbs down"...lol! And to prove it, I'll give you a thumbs-up, k?

Answer 1

I've had an OOBE, if that counts...

Scarey as hell. The worst part, was returning... I 'came to' breathing like I'd just .... been on a marathon sexcepade.

I've also had some extremely disturbing dreams.

1) OOBE -
I was looking after my Nan during her last days. My Brother, Mother & myself were taking it in turns to keep a 24/7 eye on her. I took the night shift (I've always been a night owl), and my mom arrived about 7am to take over a while. I lay on the couch and heard my Nan & Mom talking.
Their voices became more & more distant, despite trying to retain focus. I felt myself 'pop' out and began going up to the ceiling. As I got there, I panicked and began waving around trying to go beyond the ceiling. I went straigh through and ended up in another place. A strange multicoloured... blanket wrapped around me so tight I coudln't breathe - but then I realised I didn't need to breathe. Keeping it short, the blanket flung me back through the floor and I descended toward my body. As I got nearer, I got more panicky and my mom & nans' voices became clearer again. After a few moments, I 'popped' back in and woke instantly, feeling veyr disorientated. Not sure if it's a 'true' OOBE or not, but that's what I've been told by others who i've talked about it to.

2) Dream -
After my Nan passed away (from pancreatic cancer), I dreamt she & I were in a dark, misty/foggy woods or forest. She was some 10yrs younger, black hair, less wrinkled etc. and although I was still 19 or 20 (in my dream), she was somehow taller than me - as if I were a child again.
I lost sight of her, and called out - worried. I ran around looking for her, but couldn't find her and I knew soemthing was wrong. Eventualy, I came upon her and she had fallen upon a tree, maybe spraining her ankle or something that was somehow stopping her from getting back up. So instead, she was rested against it with her legs out front, by the roots.
As I went toward her, I saw a branch had wrapped around her leg, then another wrapped around her body and arms... within moments, the branches & twigs were all over her and the twig parts were burying themselves into her skin. The deeper they got - they more colour & 'fullness' she lost... she withered away in front of my eyes and turned into the Nan I had saw last in the hospital bed, withered, worn, frail and ... well, dead.
In my dream, I was still me (19/20 yr old guy) but also my chilldhood self too - I was kind of only 10 or so years old.. and just began crying in my sleep.

Damn.. that's brought back some memories.

I don't know what this might b classed as, but recently I got into bed - and I was so ready to sleep..... sooo ready.

I got thinking about my Mom, who also had passed from cancer (liver, lungs & bowel). As I lay there, I couldn't believe how incredibly comfortable I felt. It was like being a child again... so warm... so comfortable.. so...'easy'. I couldn't escape the feeling that my Mom was there (not in bed, but, in the same room perhaps). I had one of the best nights' sleep i've had in a long time, and as some here already know - I have real sleep problems (e.g. it's 4am as I post this edited / extended reply).

So, that's my stuff for yaz :o)

Answer 2

Lived in a haunted house! I have seen ghosts and I do have some ESP(N) (lol just had to). But yes and the ESP thing happens a lot. I can just see things before they happen it's not all the time but it happens often enough. My family is blessed with this on my fathers side. My Aunt has been working as a medium for the police departments in this area. So yes I have most definitely had paranormal experiences!

Answer 3

I had a couple of experiences in childhood that I later brushed off to a childish imagination. However, I have had a few experiences as an adult, a couple just as recent as a few years ago in the house I am living in now. I was in my kitchen washing dishes. Behind the sink is a bar that overlooks my dining room that I use as a dining room/sitting room because it has a fireplace. The way I had it set up before, I had a pair of upholstered swivel rocking chairs facing away from me. While I was washing dishes, I looked up to see one of the chairs rocking and I hollered that whoever it was better get their behind to bed as it was late. The rocking didn't stop so I walked out there and spun the chair around to find no one sitting in it.

Answer 4

I don't want to get too Celestine Prophecy on you, but sometimes there is just this energy where you know something is going to happen, or won't happen, or what the outcome of something will be. You just feel it... you're 100% confident in your feeling... and this energy never, ever fails. Now if only I could find a way to manipulate it...

Ghost: I saw a couple when I was younger, yeah. But apparently lots of kids do - so it's probably not a ghost, but some sort of vision you're making up yourself.

Actually, when my sister and I were living at my parents' we had an orange cat. So one day my sister was like, "I think I just saw a ghost - I saw a woman with red hair go by out of the corner of my eye and for a second I thought it was Poppy, but she's upstairs..." and when I was a kid, one of the "ghosts" I saw was a woman with red hair. Weird.

Answer 5

At the state fair two years ago, my mom, my brother, and I decided to play those little games where you put a quarter on a color on the table of booth, and then they spin a Wheel of Fortune type wheel, so when the wheel lands on a color, whoever put a quarter on that color wins. I would get these "feelings" to put my quarter on a certain color, and all 5 times we played it, we won. I also work at a library where I discharge returned materials off people's cards, and whenever someone has a late fee, this window pops up when I discharge their item, and I have to stop discharging and fill to this "late fee" thing. I always get that "feeling" right before that window pops up for someone. It's probably just a coincidence, but I like to think I'm special for my little ability to predict ridicuous things. :)

Answer 6

i remember when my mom lost her baby to a miscarrige she was upset and cried for days. my little sister at the time who was 3 (could hardly speak sentances) said that "he was in heaven and granny's mom, and dad and sister are taking care of him" it really freaked me out because no one ever told her my grandma had a sister, or that all of them had died. im almost certain it was an angel speaking through her to comfort my mom.

my granny has endless times that she claims to have seen her dead sister or heard her or her parents talking when she was alone at the house. once she lost the dog and couldnt find him. clear as day we were sitting there and she said she heard a voice say "open the door". i didnt say anything, it came out of nowhere. when she did, harley was right there wanting in. that was pretty much unexplainable because no one else was there.

Answer 7

Never have. I don't beleive in any of that stuff. Although I think it would be cool to see a ghost. Kind of creepy but it would be cool none the less.

Answer 8

Every time I made love to Lynne. Definitely an out of body experience.
