I believe that there is a unity in conciousness throughout everyone. I always seem to be able to catch anyone's attention. Like, in a class or something, ill just shift my eyes to someone. And be like, hey look at me in my head. And within a minute I can catch their attention.

When I was younger, i went to sleep one night upstairs and the next morning found my self in my parents room. The weird thing was that when I went back up to my room the door was closed and my shoes were behind it, so close behind it that it couldnt have been closed with them there because you couldnt have gotten out with them there. I knew they were there when i went to sleep. But I had no idea how I got out of the room.

The wierdest thing with me though it this

I constantly experiance De Ja Vu. Ill be doing something unique or random and I will remember it as if I had already done this a long time ago.

I think this however has something to do with the wiring in my brain so to speak. To put it in digi talk, my brain is wandering off to something else and as its trying to cope with whatever information it is currently receiving from my eyes the temporary cache is overloaded and it gets written to long term memory. Therefore when I see it again after coming back from the other thought it seems as if its something I had been doing a while ago.


The world is erie.

I'm with the guy above, I feel scared to go take a leek now!.

When I was a toddler, my parents dumped me and our cat at Grandma's for a couple of days, while they went on a trip. The door to the basement was normally kept closed, because the stairway wasn't that great. Grandma went down there while I was taking a nap, and left the door open so she could hear me if I called. All of a sudden, she hears the cat hissing and growling, something that had never happened before. She ran up the stairs, to find the cat holding me at bay, to keep me from trying to go down the stairs. Cats are smart, but to do that? I don't know, but I don't deny the possibility.

Actually it just wanted dibs on your grandma if she fell down the stairs and died.

This is a story my dad told me.

My dad told me that a close relative of him die. They would buried the body in the morning and give it a Christian burial. Afterward they came home for afternoon for light snack. While he was over the house for lunch, there was a big butterfly that landed on the picture of the decease relative of his. All the sudden, a sister of the decease started to shaken abrupty and uncontrollably. She started talking in Chinese and English in incomplete sentences.

My father told me she only knows Vietnamese. (My dad and grandpa know how to speak English and some of some people at the luncheon know hows to speak Chinese). The girl posses started to talk in a different speech pattern which resemble the decease girl. She told her husband and talk about things only her husband would knows. There was a priest at that moment. After saying all she wanted to say, the girl being posses stop shaking and regain conscious.


I think there is some scientific explantions to all this. I think that Deja Vu is resulted of the Neurotransmitter not being clear from the synaptic cleft or the hippocampus portion of the brain.

that balloon story is out of control


holy that is out of control. Also, my cat story had nothing to do with dreams. I was awake and and sat up in bed after the cat walked away. I am not so sure how I feel about the supernatural but I do believe in other things out there. I am sure science can explain a lot but there are many people out there that believe god works through science and by understanding science we understand how go does things. Many seem to be leaving the science vs. god debate aside and saying they work one and the same.

There was nothing wrong with my watch, or my moms watch. It's like an hour out of my life just disappeared.

Very creepy!!


Maybe you read the time wrong the first time? Otherwise that's freaky, were you much further down the road than before?

Well, when I was living in Belgium, we had a 3 story house. The first floor was just the laundry room, garage and storage for wine. In the garage there was a ping pong table, I got really good at the game because I would often practice alone there (at night too!). Well, there was this one morning, I was still in my bed..and heard a rush step on the stairway..apparently it was my mom rushing up from 1st floor to 3rd floor. I heard my mom was whispering to my dad "I saw a white cloth hanging in the air in the laundry room and flew out of window slowly" My dad was all shocked " really? just the cloth? no ghost?" My mom just replied "No. And don't let the kids know!"

Damn it! Needless to say, I never play ping pong alone thereafter!

Eeshh, these are a few stories from my family or friends, all of whom i trust that they're not bullshitting me:

1) When i was about 4, my grandma, who lived with us, passed away. A few days after her passing, my mom found me crying in bed and couldn't get me to stop. After a good long while, I eventually stopped crying. She had asked me why i was crying, and i said that grandma was there holding me, and that she was there to say one final goodbye.

2) My ex was once sleeping in her room when she opened her eyes and saw a man on top of her. This wasn't a man that could have crawled through her window or anything, so something heebeejeebeeish was going on. Anyways, she couldn't move and was scared shitless. And to make it even weirder, i think it was a caucasion man, which would be somewhat of a rarity in our area.

She also had this blessed buddha in her room. She usually placed it on her drawers, which weren't really accessible by her unless she got up out of bed to move it. But, whenever she would wake up, the buddha would be on the floor.

3) I have a relatively large family, who live all around the world. Anyways, to sum up the story, whenever weird shyt would happen in a certain house, it would be tied down to "dirty spirits." For example, my aunt was sick for a very long time, and doctors could not diagnose the problem. It was deduced that the problem was spirits hasseling my aunt. My mom then went to a chinese temple and bought some afterlife "property" for the supposed spirits and prayed for those spirits. Everything then turned out alright! Most problems usually stem from spirits not having a place to life in the afterlife.

4) I have an uncle that had his third eye opened. When he was young he was a non-believer, so he visited the temple in Vietnam. He was then taught to open his third eye (through meditation), and ever since he has been able to see ghosts. Most recently he saw my uncle, grandpa, would-be-uncle (all of whom were deceased) at the side of my grandma's deathbed when she just passed away.

Some of this stuff does sound far-fetched, but if you can't trust your family, who the hell can you trust?



i had the samething experiences that happend to your ex girlfriend. pretty much you can't do sh!t, but the only different was that i didn't see anyone, just opened my eyes and can't scream or move.

thy only thing i can do is to open my eye lids. I shared the room with my brother at that time, the same thing happened to him.

later on, we found out that an old man died there in his sleep before we moved in.

well lots off crazy stories happened in Asia( China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thialand, and Vietnam.)........

During the early winter I was visting my best friend in MI, me and him always carry a knive and a lighter. Were at this park, maybe 1am talking with 3 other friends, and about 2 of us see something out of the corner of our eyes. All the sudden i see under this tree a human outline and eyes, i reached for my butterfly, swing it out and open, the eyes closed and disapeerd. We walk looking all around back to the truck, and go to my buddys. Hes got this real nice tree fort like pad. Mini fridge, king side bed, but 15ft off the ground! Were in there talking and boom boom shake, the whole damn thing shakes. This thing is big ass hell, it must have been a Bison for how it was shaking the treehouse. I look out and see the thing again eyes and human outline in the dark, my buddy grabs his machete and whips open the door and jumps on the ground below, and we scurry to the house get up there and his dad was on the deck staring at us, he saw the whole thing except he didnt see the animal/person/thing. We went back out with his brothers 1911 and were fine all night. I flew back to arizona few days later, and hes never mentioned it. Weird shi1.

I have a few stories I guess.

First one I think is probably the most unexplainable. Before I was born, my mom and dad were asleep on a weekend morning. I guess it was about 7 or 8AM, not too too early. First off, my dad's name is Ken. Well, as they were sleeping, the doorbell rang, and my mom, half asleep, was nudging my dad saying "Rick! Rick! wake up!" or something along those lines. My dad turned to her and looked at her strangely and asked her why she was calling him Rick? Well, they went and answered the door, and it was my dad's friend Rick who had just gotten off the bus from Vietnam. It was a total surprise visit, my parents had no clue he was going to visit them, or any clue he was discharged, etc. And my mom had never met him before in her life.

This is just a kinda cool dream I had when I was little, but it was probably just sleep walking. I went to bed in my own room when I was like 5 or 6 I guess. I had a dream I was up high in a tree, and I fell out of the tree. I fell just like you see feathers fall in cartoons though. Like from let to right, in an upward arcing motion. I fell gently, and the instant I hit the ground, I opened my eyes, and I was then laying in my parents bed between my parents.

I had an interesting experience in the woods a few years ago, that I now relate to a possible Bigfoot encounter. I'll try to make this sorta short. I was camping in this state park (like 10k acres of wooded area) with my sister and a bunch of her friends. I woke up around 4:30-5AM, and everybody else was still sleeping. It was just barely starting to become light out. I decided to go for a walk since I didn't wanna go back to sleep. I started walking down this trail, and as I got farther and farther down this trail, I got a very unique feeling like I was being watched, or stalked, or something akin to that. I got the feeling that I needed to turn around, like I was really being risky by continuing to walk where I was. Well, nothing really happened, and I turned around and went back to camp. I later was reading up on some Bigfoot sightings on this website, www.bfro.net I believe. At the time of my little experience, I had heard of Bigfoot, but had never heard of him existing anywhere except in like his Yeti version in Asia, and in the Pacific Northwest of North America. Well, I came to found out, that there had been 2 or 3 listed sightings of a Bigfoot-like creature in this very park that I had had this experience in over the years. Many Bigfoot encounters have the feelings of being watches, forboding feelings, etc., prior to a sighting. So perhaps this was just me being scared in the woods (thought it didn't seem that way at the time) or perhaps not. Got me pretty interested in the subject though.

When I was 13 years old my mother bought herself a second "shelter home". She is in the business of taking care of people who can't care for themselves (i.e. mentally retarded, mentally ill, etc.).
Well, this business is on a 50 acre ranch in Idaho. It had an old broken down stable that hadn't been used in who knows how long.
My brother & I took our german shepherd out to go look at the stable & maybe shoot a quail or something. We got about 20 yards away from the stable and our german shepherd wouldn't go any closer even though the trail we were walking on opened up wider than the trail we had just been walking on. We didn't pay it much attention & we went & checked it out. I'd just about swear that it was 20 degrees colder inside the stable even though it was missing most of two of it's walls & the front was completely open.
We got kinda' creeped out then & went back & told my mom. She said that one of the mentally ill patients had hung himself in that shed about a year earlier & that was the reason the previous business owner had to sell.
Well, to make a long story longer, we decided to bravely check out the top floor of the main building a couple of weeks later. Previously, none of us had the guts to go & see what was up there.....not even my mom. It just had that creepy smell & atmosphere that made you instinctively want to avoid it.
Well, I'm not stupid. I decide to get my dog to protect me. ;)
I make my way to the stairs & start up but....you guessed it....my dog refused to go. I even grabbed his collar & tried to pull him onto the stairs but he just wouldn't budge. Needless to say I went no further.

One of the four rooms belonged to the gentleman that killed himself.

After a couple of months, my stepfather finally sold his business in a different town & came to live with us at the ranch. With his "protection" I went up to the dreaded top floor. Lots of stuff scattered about in his room but not much out of the ordinary. Except, when I look out of the small window, the shed where he hung himself is the only structure you can see. I put 2 & 2 together and as soon as I realize the ramifications I get that "hairs-standing-up-on-end" feeling and an uncontrolable need to run.

Creeped me the hell out.

My uncle's room is haunted by a jealous female. Well one time he woke up to find someone standing in the doorway and chased it through the kitchen. He then took a knife from the kitchen and searched the whole house, waking everyone up. Another time he was trying to sleep and she whispered for him to get up. As he laid there the whispered turned into talking then yelling. Till the entire room filled with her screams for him to get up.

He moved out a little afterwards but after a few bad turns he's back living in that same room now.

To the person inquiring about the kids toys called "Ouija boards", they don't move by themselves. What is going on is called the IDEOMOTOR EFFECT.

Another explanation here

Unless, of course you would rather choose to believe that Parker Brothers has found a way to mass-produce devices that can open portals to "the afterlife"

Yea Triumph, go to P&N.

I like some of the stories here, in fact, I might steal them and compile a book without giving any credits to the guys here.

Sheesh, took a while to read all this. I am simply astounded at the ease that people will leap to lending credibility to "ghosts and the paranormal" as explanations to "scary feelings at night" or "being alone in a room and feeling watched". As it has already been discussed, why does none of this occur during the day in well-lit areas with many alert and fully awake people around? Are the spooks afraind of being "discovered" LOL!

Some of the people in your stories may even be able to claim 1 Million Dollars! for conclusive proof of these events (I won't hold my breath).

For some more rational examination of these stories, visit some of the Forums at The James Randi Educational Foundation

This thread does illustrate to me why this stuff (UFOs, psychics, paranormal ghost stories, etc) is a big seller in the media. Apparantly people like to be scared and/or believe in "the unexplained".

This is good reading material.

It's might be easy to explain how humans can be "influenced" by the idea that supernatural things exisit. But when you see your pet cat or dog act strangely. It makes you think.

Perhaps they are more sensitive to the "spirit realm".

How do you define strange behavior in a pet? Perhaps it is your perception of their behavior. Could the possibly also be reacting to their owner's seemingly tense behavior as well?

Another good book I can recommend on this topic is "THe Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan.
