Can you please explain some of these stories please.?

Question

The other day a friends asked me if I had ever seen a ghost and I replied “No I haven’t” but then it made me think a bit because I really think I have. Somewhere last year I stayed at Paige’s house and she suffered from night terrors, but she couldn’t wake up from them and I was sleeping at the other end of her bed when she booted me hard in the back so I kicked her back and realized she was having a night terror so I turned around to comfort her but as I turned around I saw a short woman leaning over her going “shhhhh, shhhhh” stroking Paige’s hair and Paige actually clamed down in like 20 seconds flat. I just thought “oh she’s got it covered” and went back to sleep not really thinking much about it. The next morning I said to Paige’s ma “You sorted her out quick” and she was like “what are you talking about? I didn’t even know she had a night terror”

I was a bit shocked because no one had come into the room that night BECAUSE THE DOOR WAS LOCKED! but I know there was someone there.

Answer 1

probably was a late relative of hers taking care of her

Answer 2

It's not unwise to distrust your impression of anything that happens right before or right after sleep.

Answer 3

A passed on love one just watching over her...they do that sometimes.

Answer 4

no one can explain these things from just hearing about them... i would advise you to trust your own instincts and keep a journal about all of these type of occurrences so that you can refer back if you have pertinent reference points to compare. you may just be very sensitive to the other side of existence... do some dreamwork, too.

Answer 5

Way,way way too much.My BS meter is off the dial.

Answer 6

Imagination, power of suggestion, dreams and hysteria. That explains it all.

Answer 7

I like the first story (Creepy)

Well i didn't finish reading your details, because its too long, but the only word that pops up in my head when i was in a middle of reading is    "missing"

(shrug)

Answer 8

Im not sure how much exactly, if any is paranormal here. I am guessing that a lot of this stuff happened at a young age, which is hard to judge. When you are young, your imagination can run away, and later in life those memories can seem much more real than they actually were. Which might explain why your Dad doesn't remember the aliens thing. Either that, or he really knew what was causing it, so its not something that stuck in his mind.

Its also very hard to judge encounters in bed, because the mind is capable of producing very realistic and very varying hallucinations (not dreams), especially when waking up and going to sleep. It possible that you hallucinated everything, even paiges kicking you. I have had a sleep paralysis episode where I thought my wife opened up her mouth and had a huge mouth full of teeth, and she started biteing into my back. I felt the pain, the fear, etc. In the real world, she was shaking me, trying to wake me up because I started panting really fast and was making moaning noises. Its difficult to tell if you are alseep or awake in sleep paralysis episodes, and despite the name, you dont always feel paralized.

When you heard the voice in the morning telling you to wake up, it was very likely a hypnopompic hallucination. I used to get them all the time and they often produce clear auditory speech. It a hallucination that occurs while waking up. That one I am pretty sure of.

I am not saying there was nothing paranormal or that you were dreaming the whole thing. Of course, no one can go back in time now and find out. Im just pointing out the possibilities other than ghosts. The mind can produce some very realistic monsters.
