The supernatural and experiences...

[RyanGiorgio]

Okay, some of us here may believe in ghosts, some of us may not. My grandfather died a long time ago and well, my mom and grandmother both claim that he has come to visit them. My mom tells me detailed stories about how she will wake up at night and she will smell his cologne. Then he starts to talk to her. She even told me that he went and checked in on my sister and I. No, my mom is not crazy, and she would NEVER make something like this up. These "visits" have happened to her often, and they still happen this day, although she doesnt talk about it, I know. The weirder thing is that my grandmother, who live in NJ, also talks about how he visits her. She says she can smell his cologne also and he speaks with her. This may sound really fucked up, but I think that it is possible. Maybe the dead can communicate with us in some strange way. Again, this is in no way bs, it is all the truth and what both my granmother and mom have told me.

Has anyone else had any odd experiences with ghosts or spirits of a relative?

Dude, maybe they're just halusinating. I took a nap when I got home from school today (lazy me) and I dreamed about pizza for a second and when I woke up, a few seconds later, I still smelled the pizza. I asked my mom if she had ordered pizza and she said no.

Your grandmother and mother dream about your grandfather and the thought of him triggers the cologne smell which they were used to when they were around him. Like when you think about a certain type of food and you could SWEAR you just smelled it.

I'm not trying to say your mother and grandmother are liars but just think about what I siad for a few seconds.

i walked into my friends house who i've know by that time only a few weeks, and my friend went upstairs to get her books while i stayed downstairs. While she was up there i swore i saw a little white dog go by in a hallway in the distance out the corner of my eye, then heard something drinking from a water bowl and walking around. When my friend came downstairs i asked her what her dogs name was and she said boots or something like that (this was like 8 years ago) and i asked how old is he and she told me he was 11 when he died.

They had no newer dog at the time, and when i went into the kitchen there was no bowl of water or anything. Then she showed me the living room which is the conjoined room to the kitchen and on the mantle on the fireplace was the dogs ashes in one of those earn things.

I think the whole east coast is huanted dude.

Naw...I'm still looking. I haven't really had a huanted moment but I have had ET moments, but we won't go there.

I've had strange experiences, but there hasn't really been a time that I really thought I saw a ghost.

well this is not really a ghost story but it does invole dreams and a creepy after math, so my freshman year of high school, i kept having this dream for about two weeks where i was running throguh a grave yard it was a raining night and i sliped and feel and slid forward a little, in the dream i was chaseing a crow, so when i looked up the crow was on a tree branch looking over at 3 tombstones, than i woke up from the dream, well, the day of the last night of the dream at school during lunch 3 girls in my freshman class, one of them i knew, left school with this drunk guy and died. my soaphmore year the dream came back but this time for a month or two, during this time they had the missing site seerers from yoseimite (i used to live close to there) and when the dream had stoped they had found all 3 bodys, than my first year of college i had the dream again but this time for about a week and a half, the next day when i went to work i found out two of my friends and one of there sisters had died in a car wrek, now how crazzy is that? that is pretty creepy if you ask me. well thats my story on creepyness. oh and i see things sometimes, plus what i think is my gardien Angel or something....but thats another story for another time

When my Grandpa died back when i was 13, my mom swore that at the reception afterwards she saw him for a fraction of a second and she felt him walking out of the door and onto my Aunt's patio...she got a cold chill and the hair on her neck stood on end.....to tell you the truth i believe it because when she said it, i felt a little bit cold too

[TexasF355F1]

I tend to believe its possible. For several reasons and one being the pretty damn creepy to me. My mom told me that her grandparents or great grandparents house(i can't remember) was built on an old childrens cemetary and that occasionally they would hear pots and pans being played with and sometimes when they come into the kitchen in the morning they'd be sprawled out all on the floor. Secondly, when my high school friend Nick passed away in '01 we believe he played a prank at his own funeral. He died by electriction installing a a/c unit and at the funeral the a/c just quit working all the sudden and then right at the end of the funeral it began to work again. Now it could be coincidence but we'd like to think it was his final prank.

Of my own "experiences" when I was very young, we lived in house that was built on former plantation land. Sometimes when we where coming home from somewhere we'd see that the light in the attic was on, and sometimes there'd be shadows moving across the attic vent, but when anybody went up to turn off the light, nobody was there and the light wasn't on.

On another funnier note, just before she passed away, my friend's grandmother said she'd be back to haunt the family.

Somebody else I know lived in a "haunted house" She said things would go on all the time, but it wasn't until after she decided to move out that she heard people tell her that it was haunted. For one thing, even when locked she'd return (from wherever else she had been) to find windows opened wide, and there was one room where whenever you entered it the door slammed shut without anybody touching it. She also reported that anytime her boyfriend came over the furnace died (and he'd go into the basement to try and relight it, but never could - when he left though the heat would come back on) Weird eh?

i dont kno till i saw it. I went to my cuzin's house and he showed us of a video from his Grandfather's funeral. When were watching it, he told us about this gurl standing next to his grandfather. Later on, he shows us. the video gets a 5-10 seconds on this gurl standing next to my cuzin's dead grandfather. I got pretty scared, cuz when i asked my cuzin who took this shot, he said he didnt see a little white gurl standing next to his grandfather. Scary when u see it on video...scarier when u talk to the person who has seen it in person..

When I was a kid, I had more "supernatural experiences" than I could count. I'd like to believe that it was just my imagination, but 10 years have passed, and it still scares me shitless. Anyways, I'd wake up every single night, and all of my covers would be on the floor. I have no idea how they'd get there, because I always use to pull them all securely over my head. So that was when shit started happening. One night there was this fuzzy cloud, it didn't have any specific shape, but it was about four feet tall. It looked like a mist, really fuzzy, and it was right beside my bed. It didn't move around, and I fell asleep after a few minutes of looking at it. I woke up maybe an hour later, and it was across the hall, infront of my parents bed. Many times I saw people walking through my bedroom, and somtimes it would feel like my bed was tilting. I can remember the last experience I had, I was in Grade 6. I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't move. Almost like i was being held down, and at the same time I could hear something moving through my bedroom, and breathing heavily. It lasted about ten minutes, but felt like an eternity.

I recently talked to someone about these experiences, and he could relate to many of them. He said that when we are young, we are closer to where we are actually from. Thus we can still make some contact with another side. And as we get older we become more "Human", and lose this ability.

This other lady I know, after her mother died, a lightbulb blew in her house. You know how lightbulbs turn kind of black on the inside after this? It turned black, but it formed the initials of her mother on the inside. This lady also had a child who died, after the kid died, the swingset outside would ALWAYS be swinging. They eventually tied it down with rope, but it still tried to swing. They had to take the whole swingset down because it was too depressing to look at everyday.

man i am scared now :22yikes:

That is prety creepy, that stuff still happen to you at all?

I believe there is unexplained phenomenon. We certainly haven’t solved many of the riddles of the universe so just about anything is possible. With that said – I don’t believe in ghosts, spirits or the like.

Dirtydx, what a creepy coincidence.

Here's the thing, two days ago, I was at night school with my friend Erika. During the break we went to the back of the school and sat on the bleachers and talked for about half an hour. Somehow we started talking about the strangest things that have ever happened to us before. She told me one story of how she woke up in the middle of the night once and she was completely "paralyzed" (she KNEW she was awake but she couldn't open her eyes or move, she felt as if she was pinned down by somebody to her bed.). She said she felt the presence of someone/thing walking around her bed, she felt as if she knew the unknown presence, or like she had had the sensation before. While all this was happening the news was on on her tv, and she heard everything it said. After a while (she does not know how long) she fell asleep and woke up the next morning. The news was on again on the tv and she wasn't "paralyzed". She's had the experience 5 times altogether. It freaked me out.

Well, this little coincidence is another strange thing that has happened to me.

Now here's my story.

A quick summary for the read-haters: I saw a strange picture in a photo album and it appeared there somehow. It resembled my girlfriend but in the pic she looked deformed. I showed it to my girlfriend and she said she had seen the deformed version of herself in front of her house one day, but when she looked again the "thing" was gone.


The full story: About half a year ago I was at my x-girlfriends house and we were home alone. She was in her kitchen talking with her mom and I was in the living room looking through her fiffteen's pictures( a fifthteen's is a dance for hispanic girls which "separates" her from a child to a woman. Very important occasion. It's similar to the dance in America that is called a sixthteen's). Now, my x's house has a cheap security system with about five cameras situated around her house. In the kitchen there's a small television which displays the views of all the cameras. Every five seconds the screen switches from the view of one camera to the other.

Okay, so I'm there in the living room looking through the pictures and I flip the page and I see this strange photo of her. The shot was taken at and angel (about 45 degrees) and it was facing upwards to the sky. In front of the picutre was my x, and behind her was this large white building with no windows or doors, and behind that were blue skies. The picture didn't fit in with the rest at all. The others were shot directly in front of my x, not facing upwards, she was always standing behind short buildings that were painted peach with vines growing on the walls, and the sky was never shown in all the rest.

I looked more closely at the picture and I noticed something much more strange and wrong than the white building. My x looked kind of deformed. Her face looked like it was a mix with her normal face and that of a baby. Her upper body was very small, like the size of a baby, and her arms (she held a rose on one of them) were small like a baby's,too. I was like "damn, that's an ugly picture." Her smile was a kind of demonic, leapercaun-looking one I looked at it closer and it gave me chill and I looked away and put the album on the coffee table. First thing I was going to do was ask my x was the hell that was, I was pretty freaked out there. But things got alot worse.

I decided to wait till she got off the phone with her mom to ask. I heard her. I heard her say bye, I heard her put the phone in the charger, and then I heard her say " what the hell is that?" I got up and went to see what happened. I asked what happened in the kitchen and she said she saw someone in the kitchen tv (the one that displays the views of the cameras around her house). She said in the view of the frontyard she saw someone standing on the sidewalk in front of her house, looking right into the camera. I looked at the screen but the tv now showed the backyard camera's view,then the side of the house, and then the front--there was no one there. "Did you know who it was?"I asked, and she replied with "no." I thought for a bit and I tried to be the brave guy and I asked if she wanted me to go outside and check. To my relief she said "No, trust me, I see a lot of weird things through these stupid cameras. There meant to keep us safe but I swear it's gonna give me a fucking heart attack one day!" I laughed, relieved as hell, an then I remembered the picture and I asked her to come with me and take a look a look at it.

I showed her the strange ass picture. She looked at it puzzled and said "I don't remember taking that picture." I said "you don't? You sure?" "Yeah, I've never seen that before, look at me there, I look really ugly--" she stopped halfway through her sentence and then said "You're kidding, right?" She was talking to herself as if she was deep in thought. "Kidding about what?" Then, she says "that was the girl that I saw in the kitchen tv in the camera!"

That's about it. We spent the rest of the night as far away from the windows as possible and waited till her parent's came back from their dinner. We both shit our pants in fear. Till this day I still don't WHAT the hell actually was going on that night. Even as I write I keep on having to look over my shoulders, hoping I don't see that girl ever again. NOW, I have a large respect for the unexplained. I've never seen her after that night and I hope I never see her again.

Wanna summarise that post into about 3 sentences for me? Fucking hell...

Nope, it kinda thinned out when I got over the age of 12. Plus we moved outta that house. This other time I put my foot over the edge of the bed, and I felt something touch my foot. Another time I got out of bed to go to the washroom, outside my room there's a hall with a window at the end of it. I looked down the hall at the window, and it looked like it was glowing red.

I was really scared of going anywhere alone in that house. I remember hiding from my parents, so that I wouldn't have to go upstairs to bed.



that story about the pictures is pretty creepy..... do you by chance still have access to the photo? i wouldnt mind getting a peek at that maybe it was a setup? like someone at the photostore put it in there, then showed up at the house? i dunno.
