Have you ever had something strange happen.........?

Question

Have you ever had something strange happen, where you found an acceptable answer for what occured, yet the answer you found and accepted just did not sit well with you. Did not fully convince you that was what really happened?

Answer 1

Nuff..I agree with you.

pd...Drs. MISDIAGNOSE people ALL THE TIME. The same can happen with paranormal "diagnoses". A dr. can find a possible diagnosis that COULD be the right one...all the symptoms point to it. ..but it could turn out to be the wrong one..or not the adequate one. Do you ever watch "Medical Diagnosis"..and there's another one I can't remember the name of. These people have to go to MANY drs. Often they get a diagnosis that seem to the dr. like the right one...but the person still isn't cured. (because it's not the EXACTLY right one). Maybe you can think of this idea in the same way. Give it a CHANCE!

Answer 2

nuff..I can sure say "Amen " to THAT !! I totally misunderstood what was trying to be told to me..and didn't take it seriously ..or "to heart". I actually thought it was meant for someone else. If only I had listened and understood. I'm like Ghost Seeker in that way..in what she said. I guess we need to think of all the possible meanings to it..instead of just one. Sometimes I'd say something..or write something..to someone else...and only now do I realize it was a message or warning for ME.

  What you're saying is what I said to somebody on here...What if years later he realizes that his "acceptable answer" about "sleep paralysis" is wrong..and that it's really spirits. But, for his sake (and sanity) it's probably better (if it really is spirits) that he doesn't know. IDK if sleep paralysis is what's happening in every case..But, if it were me...I'd find some kind of medicine to make it stop ..if it's medical and not spiritual. I don't think anyone on here who "KNOWS" that paranormal things really happen will accept an "acceptable answer" easily. People can tell me that it's "mental" with me...but that doesn't change the fact that I KNOW it's not. I KNOW these things happened..for real. I still want to know why and maybe who. Whoever "sent" me these paranormal things must not have known me very well. They should have known that I had trouble "understanding" what they were trying to tell me.

  I think you always need to listen to that "feeling". It might be a way of helping you...just as 333 said it helped her! Wish I had listened and believed "in time". I'm still alive..but grieve almost constantly about the outcome.

Answer 3

Hey Nuff...

(this is getting a bit personal)

But the strangest thing ive ever had happen to me was the death of my partner, (even stranger than paranormal)..

No matter how convincing the police, family, his own blokes, were, nothing sat right in my stomach, thank god i trusted my gut instincts, then i have to say this but i had some sort of spiritual guidance that led me to the truth, thats why the number 333... all i can say is thank god i didnt listen to people, and took the advise of my spiritual friends, that led me to safety, and the most important part to the truth....i can laugh about it now, as it all worked out well, and nothing was what it seemed.......so at the end of the day, it was paranormal activity that led me to the truth, and if i had listened to people, id be gone by now.....

As ive written in my blog,

"seek the truth, and the truth shall set you free"

Answer 4

I've had the experience you describe.

Answer 5

That seems to be my life here lately.  lol

But I am also seeing things coming around to a "full circle" so to speak.  Makes me wonder what is trying to be said to me & why I can't understand it at the time it happens.

Answer 6

Hmm, interesting question. Not really as that I accept normal explanations when they fit but I also accept as answers explanations that skeptics would dismiss.

Example: I once had a dream where my house flooded all the way to the roof (unlikely unless the world flooded) and the next day returning home from school I stepped into my flooded room (my fish tank had cracked open).

I thought this interesting and looked for answers. I accept that it was possible that I was subconsciously aware of pressure and a starting crack (not yet perceptible) that I processed into my dream. The tank was full when I left for school and not cracked. I'm OK with not calling this a premonition though it appeared to be a premonition experience.

However, other experiences I have had depend on less accepted (by conventional science not by me or many cutting edge scientist) explanations.

Just because a conventional answer fits doesn't mean even in the realm of science that it is the correct one or even the most likely to be correct. It simply means (Occam's Razor) that those explanations should be tested first.

Answer 7

If you are refusing to consider the most reasonable or probable explanations for an event then you are asserting a personal bias.  (Some might say you were being closed minded to reality.)

That being said, the most likely explanation isn't the only possible explanation.  However, you would need a reason to think otherwise.  If the reason for this is, well, unreasonable then you encounter a situation that may seem a bit paranoid or require dissonance.  In other words, if you reconcile the cause of an event to conform with your beliefs rather than being open to the possibility that perhaps the event was caused by something you don't understand, then you are not being impartial.  You are changing the world to conform with your own personal version of reality.

Answer 8

If you agree that strangeness happens all the time to normal everyday people and most people shrug off the coincidental stuff - sometimes you're left with perplexing moments when normal explanations just don't fit.

The problem with normal everyday people is that we used to just keep "crazy" stuff to ourselves (back in the day insane asylums were full of people who didn't keep their "observations" to themselves) nowadays however, people are more open to relating their "experiences" which puts science at a quandary.

When all of a sudden did the the whole world go insane?

Either there was nothing going on or something was always happening but people kept it to their selves. Except without corroborating evidence and cold hard facts it's just all plain rubbish to some people. Personal experiences don't have any value and normal people are not competent enough to make sound observations.

The only strange thing I can say is the explanation of mass hysteria or hallucination. If humans en mass can hallucinate the same thing at the same time, then that means we are capable of a "hive" mentality, which to me says that there is the possibility of picking up on others thoughts and body language or mental images - which then proves the possibility of sensory perception - SP without the Extra. All this means we can be controlled and herded like sheep if the right button is pushed or stimulus deployed.

What if anything does this all mean? Were better off not saying much about our personal weird experiences because then we're not in our "right mind" anymore.

Sounds like science fiction, but then I might just be called crazy.

Answer 9

Definitely! I had a premonition/vision of losing a family member. I moved 450 miles back to the place my siblings and parents lived. I talked to

my youngest sister about her death and begged her to change some things in her lifestyle. I talked with her a lot about her health problems and tried to make her see there were

alternatives to the Dr. pumping her full of meds.

She laughed but understood my serious love for her. She died in her sleep at a friends 6 years after I moved home. I was devasted but knew I did all I could. 12 yrs. later lost remaining siblings under similiar situations. I was not surprised but still hurt from the losses.
