Ghost Encounter?

Question

I've always been a beliver in life after death, but I've NEVER experienced anything myself. Some strange things have been happening lately and up until last night I just wrote it off as weird. I had a candle that turned on by itself around Christmas but figured it was silly to think anything of it. Last night, my dog started barking insanely (and she never barks) at the dining room. There was absolutely nothing over there. No lights on, no other animals, and there's not a window over there. It was just extremely odd, and I know that animals are sensitive. I completely forgot about it. I waited in bed for my husband to get home from work around 11. When he got home he sat on the bed next to me and kissed me before leaving the room to go watch tv. A few minutes later I felt the bed shift, as if someone was getting up from it. Then I felt what felt like a hand on the top of my head, but it tingled like my foot when it falls asleep. It completely freaked me out.

Answer 1

I am a firm believer. I have had experiences  seeing spirits  in peoples homes  ... That HAVE BEEN verified  @ a later date by the  them. I also have psychic experiences and  premonitions that have come true within the day  or week

It could be a loved one in your life that recently passed away or a former resident of the house.

Or are you going through some troubled times? They could be watching over you.

Ask this person to leave you alone..tell them they don't live there any more or whatever  you need to say. Be gentle but firm. Good luck .

Answer 2

You def have a spirit. It sounds like a friendly one, like the one I have. Mine put a plant on my bed one day. I love my ghost. Because the dog barked at yours is a sure sign. I first noticed mine when my baby started looking, pointing, laughing, and reaching out for whatever was there. So I knew right off if my son wasn't afraid, it must be friendly. Take a few snapshots, see if you can catch anything. When I do, I always get a bright orb. Have fun with it my dear!!

Answer 3

It sounds like a ghost or spirit is trying to tell you something.  This is sometimes what happens before or after someone near you has died.  Lots of people report this type of contact after a person has pass away.  The sock I have know idea what that is all about, but may just be a way to get your attention. Something to show that it was real.  Check with your family see if anyone is dying or has passed away.  They may be coming to you because you are able to feel them around you.

Answer 4

I really really think something is going on in your house...mainly by the dog barking.These other things just give more confirmation. Do you have a relative/friend who died? Hopefully it's a good spirit. I don't know what to tell you to do. Maybe you can research the history of the house/land. Just keep in mind that if there really is a spirit there that it is probably watching you all the time. You can tell it to go..that it's scaring you. I don't know how you'll know for sure if it's gone. Sounds like someone is trying to let you know that they're there. Maybe that's better than it being there and not letting you know. I'd pay attention to what my dog does. It might just be someone "passing through" or just stopping by  for a visit.

Answer 5

You might have a visitor around.

However you need to rule somethings out.

Like the candle maybe you did not put it out all the way, it would smolder and 45 sec to a min later then flare up.

Could you possibly have gotten a rodent in your walls(I know gross but it could happen) that would make your dog bark.

Static cling socks are famous for sticking to anything, maybe this sock was stuck on your sheet or pajama's and then got on your pillow.

As for the touch and feeling a shift in the bed could be

a dream or sub-conscience. Your husband just left the bed

and kissed you, giving you a similar feeling.

If you really feel as though someone or thing is there take some pictures,  and do some research on the house and property. It could be a family member saying hi, or things will turn around(if you have some personal issues) and will soon be gone.

Answer 6

its not crazy hunny. I have experienced similar.

I had a feeling someone was sitting on my bed and when i looked up there was no one there.

I told my mum and she said the same thing happens to herr and that it may be my grandfather(who died in the house) just letting us know that he is there.

Answer 7

spooky

Answer 8

Just a thought.  Do you live in a house or apartment ?  If its a house, do some background research on it......who the previous owners were, possibly even contact them.

    What was in the area before the house was built.

    Compare how long you've resided there, against the first time you "felt" something unusual......was there a qualifying event that happened in your life or at the house. From my understanding, a phenomena such as this, is not spontaneous..........cause/effect you might say.

Answer 9

call in a reputable paranormal group and have them investigate.  i do believe it could be your granddad.

Answer 10

Did it touch you inapropriately? or did it like tap your shoulder?

Answer 11

Yep, sounds like a ghost encounter to me!

Answer 12

may b

Answer 13

creepy! someone is trying to get your attention :)

Answer 14

Sounds to me like you have a paranormal visitor . It should be OK as long as it is not harming you.

Answer 15

Atleast he isn't trying to scare or hurt you. I think it may be an encounter. Be glad its a nice person :) maybe a past relative or someone who died in that house?

Answer 16

i do not believe in life after death and i think you were imagining all of the touching and the shifting so that is just my opinion

Answer 17

hire people to check your house or go on the Montel show with sylvia brown

Answer 18

Unfortunately, as another poster suggested, all these things can be explained away.  I am a paranormal investigator, and we look first for what it *might* be, once all that is ruled out, then we look at it as possibly paranormal.  You can try making a recording, possibly picking up an evp.  Photograph the room from different angles, at least 2 pics of each angle.  Do a little research on the previous tenants or owners.  You can always find a paranormal group in your area who will do an investigation at no cost to you.  Good luck!

Answer 19

I will say that there is "defiantly" something going on there.  Without actually being there tho, I can't say for sure what it is.  

No one can, for that fact.

If you feel there is a spirit or ghost there, then simply tell him/her to please stop what they are doing that it scares you.  Then see if the activity stops.

If the activity does or doesn't stop, get yourself a small tape recorder & ask what's their name, why are they here & what do they want.  Leave the recorder running as long as you can.  In the morning play it & see if they have tried to communicate with you.

Doing this may give you an insight to what is going on.

Answer 20

I think you most def. have a ghost!! When I was growing up there was a ghost that lived in my house. He never did anything to harm us but it def. freaked my brother and me out when we were younger. He would turn the television on in the middle of the night to the cartoon channel (we would joke that he was staying up to watch the jetsons) he would open the the kitchen cabinets and slam them shut. Turn the washer on....all kinds of crazy things happened. I never actually saw him but my grandmother has a few times (she lived with us before she died) She said he was young and very "good looking"  I am a strong believer in ghosts.

Answer 21

I would say you got visited by the sock fairy. He is a bad dude. He lures you out of the bedroom, then takes one of your socks and leaves the matching one on your pillow. Pretty soon, you have all mismatched socks.

Then he starts taking the singles......If you see him, kick him in the groin for me.

Answer 22

Sounds to me like you have a paranormal visitor . It should be OK as long as it is not harming you. It may be a playful spirit but if it gets malicious call Ghost Hunters! I love that show and I wanna know if they really find a ghost in your house. Good luck!

Answer 23

Sounds like you might have had an encounter.
