Paranormal Experiences?

[CATCH17]

about 3 months after my dad passed away my sister bought one of those poloroid cameras but at the time they were the cool little pull and they are stickers one...any ways my dad was in ICU for a month an a half in a coma bunch of wires and breathing tubes were strapped to him (was not fun for a 10 year old son and a 9yr old daughter) but one night in august my sister was in his room with the camera she sat i down to watch the bulls and right as the buzzer goes off for the end of the game the camera went off and when she pulled the image/sticker out it was a ghosted like image meanin white out-line of my dad in his hospital bed with the wires and breathing tubes. That freaked us out big time

Could you explain that a little better?

 

[CATCH17]

I believe I have seen two ghosts in my life.

Once as a young boy and later when I was in the army and staying with a friend.

Really scared me when I was a kid. When I saw one in the army it did not scare me just kind of freaky and at the same time kind of cool as the person I saw was the mother of the guy I was staying the weekend with. His mother had passed away a few days prior to that.

Can you describe exactly what a ghost looks like?

The picture had her bed clear as day but there was a gray/foggy line on the bed that was my dad face and neck with the lines and medicle tubes, I called my sister to see if she still has it so i can scan it but she said she would try and find it

For a few months after my grandmother passed away my 3yod would often wake up in the morning speaking about how my grandmother would come see her at night and showed me where she likes to sit

I was stationed at NAS Lemoore back in the early 90s. My ex wife was pregnant with our 3 child so we had priority for base housing. My ex went back to TN to visit her family while I got the new house set up. I get moved in on a Saturday with the cable hooked up and all. so that night I get done watching TV turn the TV off and go to the master bed room and take a shower and lay down. Just as I'm dozing off to sleep the TV in the living room turn's on with the volume all the way up. I get up and turn the tv off and unplug it. well I go back to bed and as I'm laying there all the hair on my body stands up I would have sworn someone was in the room with me but nope no one there. The next day I go to work making sure all the doors are locked (I'm very paronioed about making sure everything is locked up) well I get home it's a sunday afternoon and my front door is open about an inch, nothing touched in the house just the door unlocked and open.

Fast forward a couple months my ex is home and we've had our youngest son he was about 2 mos old. we where having about 4 other couples over me and the men where playing a old game at the table and my ex comes out of the kitchen and snaps at me "Jack are you just going to sit there and leave your baby crying in the bedroom" I hadn't heard it till then but I look at her and tell her "he's right there in his car seat on the couch" everyone in the house shuts up because we can all hear the baby crying in the Master bedroom. I start down the hall and everyone is in line behind me (again all of the hair on my neck and arms jumps on end) I get to the bedroom you can plainly hear a baby crying in the room. as I touch the door handel it stops.

I did some checking and some people claimed a baby had died in the house and we had been the first family since it had happened to live there. After that incedent we didn't have any more problems though. it was very freaky...

I recently had something even more terrifying... I had a episode of "Night Terrors"...

How could you misplace something like that?

...I recently had something even more terrifying... I had a episode of "Night Terrors"...

my wife has had one or two of those a week for about the past 5 yrs. Usually it happens when she is extremley tired and sleep depraved. It used to scare me to death. The first time she woke up hysterically screaming to the top of her lungs like she was being attacked and I just came out of a sound sleep swinging at whatever was supposed to be in the room. Nothing was there. She never woke up. Just layed back down like nothing happened.

Other times she starts screaming at me in the middle of the night to turn on the light in the bedroom so she can make sure nobody is there. Again, she has no recollection of this the next day. Scary.

Once or twice a week for 5 years? I know you've had to crap yourself at least one time in that time span because I know I would.

 

[yeahyeah]

I know no one is gonna believe this but I swear this is true. I dont do drugs..I dont have any mental hangups...this is the gods honest truth.
I live in Okinawa Japan and I had this apartment off base. I dont have kids..not married
I moved in and about two days after I move in im asleep one night and right behind my head on the wall it was like someone just punched the wall. Well, on the other side of that wall was the living room area...no pictures on it..nothing up against it. I get up and open the bedroom door...nothing there..just the blank wall. So I go back to bed...five minutes later..bang...same thing. I get up but im not freaked im pissed because I gotta work the next morning.
Well..I lay down and doze off and i wake up and remember looking at the clock..3:53 am...I hear kids..running around...in my apartment...back and forth giggling..tap tap tap little feet..giggling...sounds like little guys..3,4
I sit up in bed..im half asleep and im confused because what are kids doing in my apartment at 4 am?!
Open the bedroom door..silence..nothing...now im freaked..I just put on my uniform and go into work..three hours early.
Two weeks later I am asleep and I wake up...3:53 AM on the alarm clock..I layed there for a second...then right next to my face..AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Not an evil laugh but a happy one..like someone had told a 4 year old a funny joke. I didnt move..i was froze..then nothin...I layed there frozen..my eyes were bugged out...one more peep and I would have jumped off the balcony in my underwear.
I wasnt dreaming..I was awake..I knew what the clock said..there is no way I could have slept through that laugh.
I lived there for quite a while ( I know im a glutton for punishment) but alot of wierd stuff happened there.
I got pulled in bed once...craziest feeling in the world...I could feel the hand..but it wasnt like it was there..it was not hot..not cold...like air..really strange...it just yanked me like a friggin rag doll...and gone. I am not a small person either (6ft 230lbs)
Banging on the counters..faucets coming on...all the stuff I used to hear people talking about and was like "yeah right freakshow"
Lots of weird stuff happened there.

When I was about 6 to the age of 16 I saw shadow figures in my house. I'd be watching TV, and you know how the screen goes black and you can see a reflection of everything, I would see black figures walk behind me, or leave the room(This would be early in the morning when my parents were at work or sleeping)

Probably the freakiest **** I've ever experienced.

 

[FloridaRob]

Once or twice a week for 5 years? I know you've had to crap yourself at least one time in that time span because I know I would.

the first time it happened was the scarriest. I actually thought someone was in the room by teh way she was screaming. I went from sound asleep to throwing punches in thin air in a second. My heart was pumping and she was already back asleep. NOw I just kind of raise up and say, "you're having a night terror, go back to sleep." Of course if somebody ever comes into the room and starts beating her up I will just assume she is having a night terror and not move.

 

[the kid 05]

Yeah definetely try and get that.

I am

How could you misplace something like that?

shes a women? beats the shista out of me. I keep all the stuff i got from when my dad passed in a box shes got stuff all over her apt

A lady whom I respect a great deal, told me recently that these aren't actually ghosts -- that they are demons who like to toy with people.

I've heard this theory before. It lines up scripturally if you believe that to be truth.

But there is also a scriptural reference to the ghost of Samuel (or his mentor - I'd have to look it up) making an "appearance" to his apprentice if I recall. That would seem to indicate that perhaps there are genuine appearances rather than or in addition to counterfeits.

I know multiple people at work who are insistent they have had friendly encounters with ghosts at the same previous job site.

Myself, my most suspicious experience was while I was doing a book study of sorts on the topic 20 or so years ago. I had heard that delving into such study often stirs those spirits and perhaps it was. Or perhaps it was an overactive imagination stemming from giving the topic so much focus.

Simply put, I was lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when out of the blue I felt an overwhelming sense of an unfriendly presence that proceeded through the front door and rushed like the wind into my bedroom to stand over me. I recall at that time feeling certain it was real. I was absolutely frozen in bed, didn't look, didn't move a muscle until that awareness went away. I honestly don't know if that was real or imagined.

My sister had a ghostly visitor make an visual appearance multiple times in a duplex she and her husband were renting, again years ago.

My eldest daughter, probably 2-3 or so at the time, said she saw angels walk by her bedroom door with suitcases in hand in the middle of the night.

In both of the last two situations the rooms & houses were prayed over and annointed with oil at the doorposts and the visitations ceased.

Good stuff, CoCo.

I believe in angels and also believe the Holy Spirit routinely impacts our lives in many forms. And the lady I mentioned said that prayer and a strong rebuke of the demons or ghosts will force them away.

I believe in the spiritual as well, both good & evil. We can debate the authenticity of any of the occurences listed here or elsewhere. But it doesn't really change my belief.

I suspect there are occurences we believe to be spiritual that really aren't. I also suspect there are spiritual occurences we are totally unaware of.

I had an occassion back in late June of 1979 in Tacoma, Wa.
As I went to get into my old car, I heard an eerie voice say "You're gonna die tonight." It was night time, probably around ten pm., but when I heard that voice, I looked up and down the street to see if someone was playing a prank on me, I looked all around my car, under the car, in the car. NOthing.
So, I got into the car and started to drive down the highway. I was up to about 60 mph or so when I lost my drivers side tire. I heard something evil in the back seat laugh about it and then I realized that the car was not slowing down, but was heading for the wall of an overpass. I started yelling Jesus!
Jesus save me! I could see an angel coming straight through the roof of my old car that wasn't a convertable and then I felt a struggle in the back seat going on, then the struggle was over, the angel sat next to me and said, "Let go of the steering wheel." I did and God through the angel moved my car over to the side of the road safely. phew.

Never found my tire...

 

[thundercowboy]

These days, any time I'm not sure if there's a visitation from a ghost or if it's a demon or whatever, I plead the blood of Jesus over me, then I cast that old demon out of my room in Jesus name. Works for me.:eagles:
