Paranormal experiences thread

Just a short while ago, I show a bright white flash to my left where there are no light sources. My mom passed away last night, and I think it was her saying she was at peace.

*hugs*
How are you holding up?

I had a similar experience myself, though it was all the way back in elementary school. (-Possibly- later than that, honestly my own timeline gets a bit confused in my head sometimes).
My best friend-- my own age-- had died of an illness. Back then I didn't really understand it, so I can't say much more about it.
I do, however, remember him visiting me.
At the time we were living in what I now refer to as "the old house", since we've just moved to a new one and been here for a year now. I was staying in the old storage room that had been turned into a bedroom for me. My bed was pushed up against the far wall, and along the other wall of the house there was a long counter that took up the entire wall.
I remember waking up and looking over at the door to get into the room from the kitchen and seeing him standing there. Thinking it was a dream, I rolled over and fell back asleep.
I don't know how long it was after that when I woke up again to see him standing in the middle of the room and returning to sleep again. After that I saw him sitting on the counter, and then the foot of my bed before finally realizing he was there to say goodbye.

On another note, as I read through the thread I noticed a few posts about hands at the window... I hadn't experienced that until very recently. It was about a week or two ago now.
Sister and I were sitting watching television in the living room, probably around... 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Our television is mounted on the wall above our fireplace, and on both sides of it we have tall thin windows that go from just above ground level near to the ceiling, both covered with blinds to keep the sun out. The one next to the door has a small air conditioner in it as well. I was sitting in that chair, and for whatever reason, I glanced away from the television to the window.
At that time, I saw a small hand press up against the glass from outside for -just- a moment before vanishing. I couldn't see a shadow or body outline for anyone that it may have belonged to, and I didn't hear anyone running off.
I wasn't really spooked, but it was the first time I had ever seen a 'disembodied hand', or however one might call the phenomenon.
 
This one didn't happen to me, but to my grandmother. She was born on an island (which I see everyday) and there they have a tale about evil fairies, that pretty much every town has where I live. On the island, there's a patch of woods where some girl got killed in the 1700's, supposedly by fairies, and nobody really strayed near there. One day, my grandmother and her friends heard a girl yell from the woods, and saw some movement from it. They asked two American soldiers who was visiting from a nearby base to go in and investigate, and they went in, laughing at the silly locals' fairy sighting. They didn't come out until about an hour later, terrified and didn't speak to anybody. They left on the next boat out and weren't seen again on the island. Then again, it's pretty boring there, and the only reason they even visited was to see where a Nazi U-boat torpedoed a dock a few years before, I guess. My grandmother was 9 when this happened so I don't believe her, but she does bring it up every few weeks.

True story or something your grandmother made up, it's still a pretty creepy story. If there were rumors of fairies, especially ones who had a track record of killing people, where I lived, I know I would definitely avoid the area.
 
Man...all this aboutf family and friend make me tear up....which also remind me during the time my friend passed away on the age 20. She actually caught some illness and because her body is lack of antibodi and she couldn't fight back the virus and passed away the night she admit into ICU. That day was also the day my sem starting but I rushed back to my hometown upon receiving the news but I am too late...so I went to her funeral.

During that half year, almost each night I dreamt of her in my dream, either wandering around or I still think she is alive, or I will cry and tell her why she had to leave us this way, or just my usual dream and she was in it, but she never once speak or say a word. I felt she might not be resting in peace or is my own guilt that we been separate from each other for years, the, then I silently said before my sleep "please go and rest in peace, we will be doing fine here and I hope you too in the afterlife" umm something like this if I did not remember it wrongly, but ever since then I have not seen her appearing in my dream. I am someone who dream occasionally and during my grandparents passed away I also did saw them in my dream, still alive and not saying a word, just being around the family and doing usual chores. All in my heart I wish they rest in peace and not worrying about us here.
 
Aunt apparently once got possessed when my mother was pregnant with my older sister. This was back in Canada, they were renting out a basement to stay shortly until they bought their home. I wasn`t present there of course haha.

Apparently my sister and grandmother are sensitive to spooky stuffs. I`m a slight skeptic despite everything though.


I`ve stayed overnight on The Star of India and tend to go to Old Town in SD a lot! The bathroom on those skips unnerve me the hell out and Old Town is supposed to be haunted. I don`t have any exciting stories however 8`D

I know how that is... Occasionally I still dream of my grandparents on my mother's side, and their house as well. Sometimes I see them, just sitting silently in their chairs. Sometimes it's just the house. I've never really thought of the dreams as paranormal, though... Just me missing them, it's been so long now.

Possession... Probably one of the scariest things that can happen. Though I imagine it typically isn't the way it is from the movies-- that feels just way overdone, even compared to the most serious cases.
Now, having said that, I'm going to promptly contradict it and say that my own possession story isn't -really- that scary. It lasted an entirety of maybe 5 seconds, and was more than likely me just falling asleep, but here it is:
At our old house, my cousins had come to visit. All of us within 3 years of age of one another, just getting into the 'it's fun to be scared' and really learning more about the paranormal, during the day we all decided to have a seance that night in the back bedroom, which was mine at the time (a different bedroom than the other, same house). Then, in secret, three of us decided to play a trick on the fourth and I would pretend I had become possessed.
So night came, the parents went to bed, and we took a candle into the room, lit it and sat around it. I proceeded to do the whole television 'If you want to speak, use my body' sort of thing. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back. Before long I had felt a heat against my back as if someone leaned against me-- I was sitting directly in front of the closet, and had the door opened, we would have heard it.
The next time I opened my eyes, my head was down rather than back, I was cool again, and my cousins and sister were freaking out saying I didn't respond to our set 'trigger cut off word'. No matter what it was that happened, needless to say, we haven't tried it again since.
 
i will read through some of this another day, but
have any of you seen the reddit thread for this stuff? there's a specific one dedicated to to creepy children.
some good stuff ;o
 
Nothing scary, but last year (this was about four years after my grandma passed away) during the summer my parents were both at work so I woke up at like 11am. I went to get in the shower and as I left my bedroom I swear I could smell my grandmas perfume. This has happened a couple of times.

I'm very skeptical about things like this, though, so I really have tried to think of anything causing it. Maybe I just miss her & I'm connecting things to her that are just normal, ordinary things.

One thing that has really scared me, though, was a few months ago I had one of those dreams where I was falling for quite a while. So, as normal, I woke up from it right before I hit whatever it was at the bottom. This was at about 3am, so this could have been me just being tired but I s2g I was right at my ceiling & I dropped onto my bed once I woke up. I know this wasn't just a normal "falling" dream because I actually bounced off my bed and landed in the floor. Had it been a regular falling dream, I think I would have just woken up with a little shudder and maybe a bounce of my mattress.

Sounds really dumb but there's no other way that I should have bounced off of my bed and into the floor from just waking up.
 
It's fun to find out by yourself. ; - ;

Seriously though it took me 5 minutes to find the courage.

It's pretty much a really los-res photo of a guy and theres.... something standing outside the door and it's creepy af and i could only look at it for 3 seconds before crying like a baby

- - - Post Merge - - -
