Yeah, the stuff that goes bump in the night and you can't quite piece it together. I recognize I'm probably stretching it with another "Outer Limits" type thread but this stuff matters to me. I experienced my share of this stuff growing up so I'm as open as open can be.
My aim in establishing this thread is to gain some insight perhaps through others experience(s) of this phenomena. I understand that folks who haven't experienced this stuff can be very derisive but I wish to focus on our commonalities through our shared experience in the paranormal world (stuff we can't explain very well that has us asking WTF!).
Here's some of my happenings from childhood...
Me and my brother playing a remote-controlled racecar track in our bedroom and as were sitting down across from each other my brothers comb (that's in his back pocket that he's sitting on the floor) starts cart-wheeling across our bedroom (perpendicular to me and my brother) about six inches over his head. Then after a hasty exit from the bedroom (we were scared) we came back to the track (we were 11 and 12 years old so we had to keep playing) and it happened again....same flight path and cart-wheeling. It shouldn't have happened. Physics shouldn't have allowed it. Yet there it is.
I've tried to piece together something that might explain it. All I can come up with are possible variables that may enter into it somehow. One, we were in the boonies of Missouri. Pretty much in the hills off the beaten path. Maybe some sort of Indian presence accounts for the activity? Maybe nothing to do with Indians but more to do with a haunting of us individually? In other words, maybe a spirit attached itself to one/both of us and expressed itself in a funny way with the comb flights.
When I was 13 I had something very odd happen every night to me for a while. Other than puberty! Basically my bed would rotate in mini-circles (not the whole bed but somehow - and I still have trouble explaining this - the bed would stay in it's basic direction BUT would ALSO move violently in very tight minute circles). It was more the sensation than the whole bed moving around and around. But here's the kicker...My backboard would slam against the wall when this happened. And if I got angry it got worse! Heavier slamming and more violent movement resulted. That went on every night for me from age 13 to 14. At least a year. It's tough to explain without physically being able to show you exactly what I experienced. I was NOT moving when this would occur. But the bed was. Again, what was causing this? I've since heard of other folks who experienced things somewhat akin to this but I still would love to know definitively WTF was happening then. And no, it wasn't earthquakes.
Later, when I was in my 20's I was in bed and something laid right behind me in my bed ( I was on my side). Did I turn around to see what the hell it could be? NO. I knew that it wasn't a person...at least not in physical form. The sensation was a very gradual sinking to the bed and there was no noise approaching the bed. And the sinking action to the bed was quite heavy. The landlord's Mother had passed away recently so I was considering that as an explanation. But we didn't know each other so I wasn't so sure about that possibility. I really don't know what happened there either.
Another thing happened fairly recently. I related it to the board here actually. It was when my Grandpa was in the process of dying from pneumonia - obviously not the cool part. But while he was laying in a hospital bed in San Diego I heard a voice tell me to go to bed...and no, I don't here voices. That was a first for me. You also need to know me and my Grandpa weren't especially close. I really had no need for any comfort regarding his passing (he was in his 80's and death is not unheard of at that age) but wasn't wishing it on him either (I was MUCH more attached to his deceased first wife - my Grandma - than him). Anyhow, after hearing the voice I go to my bed where after a couple minutes I see my Grandpa's smiling face (great big smile!) accompanied with the exact same feeling I used to get when I would enter their home as a five year old. The feeling was overwhelming. It was soooooo loving. It was an awesome experience. The feeling and my Grandpa's smile stayed with me for a few minutes. It was awesome!
There's been other things such as TV's going on and off on their own just in my presence and footsteps on stairs but what can you do.
I may recall other stuff later on. That's it for now.
Anyone else?
