A strange supernatural experience?

Question

This happened when I was like 3 or 4 I don't remember. But I used to sleep in the basement, and my parents slept upstairs. I went upstairs to the main floor for a reason I don't remember. But the doorway to get downstairs is pretty much right off of where the kitchen was. In the kitchen overlooking our back yard we had a phone sitting on the table. When I went upstairs this one night, I saw my dad talking on the phone. So I called for him, he looked at me shocked. He turned around and disappeared into thin air. I was obviously scared and being the age I was I started to cry. Then my dad came down the stairs from his bedroom to see what was up. Which is in the opposite direction that he turned and disappeared into. Another thing I think was the same experience happened to me not that long ago. I am 16 now, so it happened last 13 years ago... but at the beginning of the summer, I had a sleep over with 3 of my friends. We all fell to sleep in my sun room, I was on the couch. During the middle of the night, I was half awake and half asleep. I thought I heard my dad come into the sun room. like I heard the door open and I heard his cough. It wasn't one of my friends coughs... my dad has a very distinct one. Right after that one of my friends fell on me, I don't know where he came from... but. After that I looked to the door, no lights were on outside the door, and my dad wasn't there. Everyone else was asleep, and there was no movement. I don't know what it is, but it kind of creeps me out thinking about it haha. What do you think it is?

Answer 1

It could have been a spirit person that looked a lot like your dad. some one who lived in your house be fore you.

Answer 2

hello, I've been doing paranormal research for about 6 years now and this sounds really familiar. A lot of people experience what is referred to as "living ghosts" This is kind of like an out of body experience. For example, a lady was having dreams about her dream home and in her dreams, she would wander the home, walking past the residents and stuff. One day, she drove past her "dream home" and wanted to go in so badly that she knocked on the door. When the owner opened the door she screamed and said "oh my god, you are the ghost that's been haunting my house".....So, your dad could be having out of body experiences and you could have been witness to that.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

A dream.

Answer 4

It doesn't sound like anything really.  You may just have been dreaming or hearing other noises that you mistook for your father's cough.  As far as what happened when you were three, perhaps you were just mistaken, or dreaming, or sleepwalking.  I don't think there is really any evidence of paranormal activity.  Your dad is alive so I don't know why he would be haunting you.

Answer 5

Wow that actually sounds really similar to an incident that i had. I was probably around the same age as you maybe a little older, around 5-6. but i was sleeping one night&&i woke up because i reallyyy had to go to the bathroom or something like that. then while i was walking down our dark hallway i saw that my mom was standing in front of one of the doors at the end of this hallway. so i went up and gave her a hug but then i realized that i was hugging air. =l but it also freaked me out so much that i ran back into my room&&went to sleep without ever making it to the bathroom. lol a couple weeks ago actually i told my aunt, which is the only person i talked to about it. she is really into religious stuff too. but anyways she said it could have been a guardian angel-spirit guide. idk about that though. all i know is that i wasnt afraid when i saw whoever it was in this hallway until i saw that they disappeared in my arms...so i really wouldnt worry about what had happened with you and your 'dad' oh and idk if this happens to you but whenever im alone on like a bed or something i will feel it shake&&there isnt anything that caused it to shake, my aunt said thats a way for someone on 'the other side' to let you know they are around you&&protecting you...just thought i would share that with you =P

Answer 6

not sure if its been proven but ive heard but ppl meditating and letting their spirit leave their body and u can supposedly see them doing whatever they are meditating about...but its obviously not that common or simple or just anyone to do u have to be really into it. or maybe ur dad had a twin and hes dead and hanging around you?

Answer 7

It sounds like residual energy caused by strong emotions from your father. In a sense, his stress was burnt into the fabric of space and time. What you saw and heard was like an echo. People don't have to be dead for their residual energy to persist. Many so called "ghosts" are these echos from strong emotional times and in many cases these people are still living.  

Answer 8

He might have been astral projecting.
