Question

C"MON YOU GUYS!!! I WANT DETAILS AND STORIES.....PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

I SAW IT IN MY

ROOM SCARIEST

THING EVR IT CHOKKED

MEE.....!!!!!!

Answer 2

Also....One day ..out of the blue...when I was trying to write a song..which I never do...a lot of poems/messages came to me in rhyme...as fast as I could write them down. ..like 25 in 2 days and about 120 total. It was SO fascinating..and I KNEW they weren't coming from me. It was like I was a secretary taking dictation. I could hear the words. I put them all in a book..but it got destroyed. I'm trying to remember and find some of them and put them in my blog. They might not be what anyone would think of as "great" poems/messages/songs/rap..whatever they are. I mean ..they ARE "good" and not bad. But it's not about that. It's about the experience..how fast they came..and that it wasn't me.  Lots of other things happened. ..over a 10 year period..But, I told the wrong people. There's a verse in the Bible. "Don't cast your pearls among swine." That's what I did..and I deeply regret it. So if anything ever happens to you ...be careful who you tell. If you had expensive diamonds in your jewelry box..would you tell a stranger on the street about them? Same thing.

Edit...to De...Thanks, De...like your poem/song...weird how that happens, isn't it!? Wish it would happen to me again. (I'd keep it to myself this time, I think!..But, it's SO EXCITING it's hard not to share with others.) It's not that my rhymes are so great..it's the way they came and that they rhymed so quickly that was so fascinating. If they were incoherent..I'd think it was a mental problem..but I don't think any of them were incoherent..They were pretty "simple".Most of them I can't post in my blog..they would be "out of context"..but when I get them from my sister..I'll try to find more to post. My sister made one into a children's song.

Edit...hanging...I think that would be an emotionally dangerous thing to do to a child. It could confuse them and stick in their minds the   rest of their lives..wondering if they have other parents. I don't think it's a safe thing to do. Besides that..I think you might have a lot of really angry parents. I know I 'd be upset if anyone had ever done that to my child. PD...I hope you won't do it!!!

Answer 3

I used to research the paranormal ..then my father died and it was like the floodgates opened.  I definitely know he is the conduit that makes it all happen.

I don't expect anyone to believe until they experience it ...

But to me I consider it a gift, and one that is to be shared.

Answer 4

i saw a ghost, it woke me up (even though there was no noise) and it passed through my room and out through the opposite wall, was real freaky at the time  :)

Answer 5

I opened up my chakras and did some astral travel

Answer 6

nothing has changed my mind, i still don't believe it

Answer 7

When I was about 16, I had to share my room with my younger brother. My older brother got his own room. One night, we had all went to bed, and I had laid there for maybe 10 minutes or so, when I felt someone grab my ankle, and push down on it softly. The light switch was right above my head, and I thought I would catch one of my Brothers doing it to try to scare me or something. When I hit the switch no one was there. I even looked under my bed to see if anyone was there. No one! Several months later we found out that the Elderly gentleman my parents bought the house from had passed away around the same time something or someone grabbed me. I don't know if it was the same exact time or day of his death, but it made me put two and two together and come up with ghost story I'll remember the rest of my life. To this day it still makes me wonder what it was that grabbed me.

Answer 8

What about the other way around?

I used to beleive but was forced by the complete lack of evidence to alter my position.

Answer 9

That show Ghosthunters on SciFi and my hubby. He says he is sensitive to the paranormal and we just moved into this house a month ago. I have been hearing weird noises and I told him, he said he absolutely feels something here.

Anyway, he goes out of town for work all the time and I always keep the spare bedroom door shut cause it is a HUGE room and there is no need for me to go into it. well anyway, last night I was going to bed and that door was open a couple inches. I know I did not open it. Plus, right before that I was sitting on the couch and it felt like someone just laid there hand on my shoulder. WEIRD huh. I was not scared but just aware of it...

Answer 10

Having experiences and then spending years looking for answers to those experiences within science (physical and social), philosophy and religion and realizing that there wasn't an answer that adequately explained those experiences.

Psi

Answer 11

experiences itself.. i started seeing higher selves, my intuition got very strong and i started having these experiences where i think there was a spirit guide telling me things.

Answer 12

The fact that all the dreams I have (and I do mean ALL OF THEM) come true.

Answer 13

I've had a few precognitive dreams in my life.  A couple of the major ones were that my grandfather would die of a heart attack and my mother would be diagnosed with breast cancer.  Both happened.  I seem to be getting precognitions more frequently now - especially in the last few months - although not about anything big.  I had been worrying about something a few months ago and then one day I felt a hand on top my mine (I was using mouse at the time!) and I knew what it meant and that everything was going to be OK - it was just communicated to me in my mind - it was my Dad telling me btw, he passed over a few years ago.  Sure enough, everything WAS fine - my fears were groundless.  

My son, when he was little, used to see spirits.  He had a conversation with my aunt six months after she died!  He doesn't remember it any more (he's a teenager now).

Answer 14

still don't.

Answer 15

To all who have already read this, I am truly sorry to post it again. Please forgive me. You can thumbs down me to shrink it if you want. OK. Here's what happened...

   If something very unusual hadn’t happened to me years ago, I would be a total skeptic.   I was riding in the front passenger seat of my friend Dave's 1940 Ford with his girlfriend Linda between us. We were just cruising randomly enjoying a drive through suburban/rural NJ. Suddenly I felt very strange. I closed my eyes and it was as though I'd stepped into a movie. The colors were deeper and brighter than real life. I saw us (still in the car) on the wrong side of the road. There were flashing red lights ahead of us and something going on up a hill on our left. This was totally unexpected and very vivid. I was startled. I opened my eyes and said something appropriate like HOLY SH*T! They asked me what that was about and I told them what happened to me. They asked me if I was high or something and I truthfully said no. They reassured me that it was probably nothing to worry about and Dave kept driving.

   We just cruised along for about another half hour or so going through quiet semi-rural neighborhoods. Then we came up on the exact scene I'd seen...there were police on the road directing us to drive on the wrong side to get us past some emergency vehicles that were there because a house was on fire up on the hill to our left. Dave and Linda looked at me with a mix of fear and astonishment, which was pretty much how I felt too. For about a week they were afraid of me, and of course I was pretty confused. Then I decided I must be psychic, something I'd never believed in. I went to the library and took out books on psychic phenomena. Some of them had exercises to increase psychic abilities and I tried the exercises. Well, the truth is I could never get anything at all to happen. Nothing! My conclusion is that I'm not psychic at all. Something I don’t understand caused this phenonemen. I'm totally convinced that I have no psychic abilities whatsoever. I'm also convinced that on very rare occasions something like this happens to some people for no apparent reason.

BTW Thanks Deenie. I would love to see some of your poems. One night I woke up in the middle of the night with a song (both music and lyrics) playing in my head. I wrote it down and went back to sleep. The next day I learned it and recorded it (I've been playing music for 40+ years). All my friends love it. Here's the words...

Depth

In the flowers of the night time

You can feel the ocean's roar

Nothing happens, but your life force

Drifts between each time frame's shore

There's a time to join the mainstream

And a time when less is more

But the best times in my lifetime

Are when I pass through the door

As the question marks explode

In joyful bliss I am inside

As the dreams become reality

As the fantasies collide

I am humble yet omnipotent

I am finally for real

I am all that I had wanted to be
