I was laying on my bed, staring up at the fan haining above me and watching the blades pass by when I had a strange feeling. I felt like I was being watched. My room all of a sudden got colder and humid. I felt like someone was staring at me, and had been for a while though I had just noticed it. The necklaces around my neck started tightening around my throat and it was hard to breathe. I stayed calm, trying to pretend like it didn't bother me, but it totally freaked me out. This isn't the first time this has happened to me either. it also happened when I was about eleven and living on the other side of the country. Also, When laying awake in bed during the nights that I can't sleep, I feel small tugs and pulls on my skin and sometimes it feels like someone is sratching me.
Before we moved in, the lady that lived here before us told us that there was a couple here before her. The husband internally bled to death in my mother's bedroom. There are still blood stains on the carpet in her room and the carpet on the stairs had to be removed because of all the blood on it. His presence is still in my mother's room and hasn't ever ventured out of there.
Now, for my question:
Do any of you think it is possible for certain people to be haunted? Better yet, do you think I might be haunted, or just being tormented by a ghost or something? Please elaborate on your answers and give me your reasons why.
Honestly, you could be like me and attract ghosts. From what I've learned, ghosts tend to gather around people that they know can sense or feel them, perhaps even see or talk to them. I know it can be scary because I've had very similar things happen to me as well, but they really don't mean any harm. Mostly I believe they're just trying to get your attention and let you know that they're there.
This is a tricky question... I do believe that it is POSSIBLE but not PROBABLE... the only real hauntings of people I have heard of have been things like exorcisms and stuff. Like I said, I havent done very much research on this, and if youd like I will do more... Let me know if you would like me to do that...
i have heard of a few cases like this and it goes into the category of past lives if the same feeling reacurs then it is put into a bad experience you have had in a former life such as the man who thought he was goin insane because he felt like bugs were crawling on him. he had a past life regresion and it turns out he was a yogi(a person who ventures out into the wilderness and meditates) well this guy meditated under a tree for a few days and he was so deep that before he could come too he was eatin by ants.
but that might not be the case but i hope this helps
i am not ruling out the possibility that you personally are haunted but that maybe some tormented souls are attracted to you for some reason and they are trying to get your attention... i think that if you remain calm and meditate or something then you can see them and see what they want so that they will stop... that sounds alot easier than what it is and its alot more complicated... message me and then I can explain it more to you... this has happened to me thats why I am commenting
if it is true, if they ARE trying to get my attention, why do they try to cause me pain? Granted, it doesn't really hurt, but I feel it. I Do see them, and when they piss me off, I do talk to them. I dont know who they areor where they came from,. but I know they'r there. They're ALWAYS there Sometimes I feel like I'm alone, but then I think that I shouldn't because of these entities.
Thank you guys for responding. I honestly didn't think anyone would read it, let alone respond.
well it can happen personaly ive never had an encouter with any paranormal being but i think it is possible and probabal that ghosts follow you because oyu can sense them and are in some way afraid of them i believe that if you arent afraid of them and dont react to them being there they wont bother you and this i believe because my sister was seeing things i couldnt and i did once and only once and it didnt scare me like it did her and nothing has ever botherd me for some reason i am not sure why but they cant hurt us and we cat hurt them so dont fall for it...........
Well, in all honesty, I don't know the motives of a ghost. No one does unless that ghosts comes out and says it. I'm not sure if they'd want to cause you pain. If you think it's purposely out to hurt you, try cleansing the house of that particular spirit. It may not be an ordinary ghost either. It may be what's called a poltergeist which can physically move objects and many other things. Some poltergeists are known to actually scratch someone they may not like. I had one do that to me until I finally moved out of the house. Try pieces of charged Tiger's Eye. Put one on every window sill and above every doorway in a room you want to clear of spirits. I used to sleep with one under my pillow as well as several stationed around my room. It generally works if the stones are charged correctly.
in reguards to ThinkofNothing, i'm not afraid of them whatsoever. Never have been. so they arent attracted to me because of my fear of them.
I mean, yeah, it freaked me out, but that was because i wasnt expecting it to happen. not then.
Thats happened to me...When I was about 17 I got in a car wreck and I swear I felt like someone was watching me on the side of the road that wasnt alive....it freaked me out
I think everybody covered it. Maybe he's trying to send a message, maybe he's not done with resenting his own death. If I were you, I'd seek guidance from specialised people in the field. You may have a great gift, that well oriented can lead you to be able to help those tormented souls. They wouldn't come near you if you were totally unable to understand them.
I know I have a gift I just havent tapped into it yet....
i went to a psychic reading when i was like 13, and she said that she felt like something was wong with me but she couldn't put her finger on it and that i needed to cleanse my ora of all the evilness inside of it. and i needed to get some help because later on i would be needing it. then she said that i owed her 10 bucks....
the last part is what scared me....
Yea I know....Now its alot easier cause I can tap into my enegry...My gift I dont know how to tap into I know I have it and sometimes it just lruns it course...All I can say to you is let your gift come to you cause it will in its own time....Ive been really forunate enough to learn that from my Bf
lol don't seek people that ask for money. Real helpers accept what you're willing to give IF you feel you should give something
Lol. I don't know what the deal behind that was... but i think it would sounds funny... granted she did ask me for the 10 bucks, but w/e
One. The ones that will touch you, be afraid of them, they are the bad ones or children. Two. Get some sage a bundle of it, Fresh!!
Burn some of the sage in a ash tray and fan it around you and in every part of your house. Now take one of the sage leaves and rub ii in your hands and all over your body. Now take the rest of the sage and divide it into seperate bundles and hang it in the most effected rooms in the house.
This will take care of your problem. (just make sure your smoke alarms are off during the burning)
I might jsut do that.....
Thanks again you guys for your responses! They've all helped a lot!
If any one has any other comments PLEASE feel free to say something.
Yes cause it happened to me too.In my journal I wrote my paranormal expiriences and were scary.
Certainly weird, luckily you don't seem to suffer form insomia, I hope
i live in my grandparents house and i can feel when my grandfather is near by. it is kind of comforting though
I've seen the Dark Shadow several times in my life. It is certain. Many spirits still dwell here, and many more are brought back out of peace. The lucky ones are the ones that can't sense them.
Well, Yendor, It is now 3:10 am, and I'm still awake... and i've been trying to sleep for quite sometime now....
Yes, I do suffer from insomia.
There, see, that could be easily a cause, I say this because I used to suffer badly form insomia for some months, and there I had the weirdest of symtoms, believe me the tricks mind can play are amazing and no experience would be an exageration if I had to rely them to you, this said though I'm not denying your claims..
I once had that felling when i was 5. i was having nightmares.I the woke to see the same figure standing above me .he raised a knife and thats all I remember.2 monts I spent in coma.They never figured out what happen.they even told my family I was going to die.they gave me my last rights.about 2 year ago my oldest sister told me to a t what I had seen.I never told anyone about that.There are things that go bump in the night and there driven by pure evil.
i do think its possible. i havent expereinced anything like that before but i remember that i woke up on occassions and felt paralyzed like i couldnt move a muscle. dont know if that means ive been haunted though
I think people can be haunted, but not in the ence you men.
If you are sensitive to these things, perhaps have ESP, then you are the best person to be communicated with.
I ahve had similar experiences. I have known that pets have died before I have seen it or been told, and knew there ad been death and blood of animals in the basement of my ex-boyfriends house before I knew it was a old butchers.
I used to be terrified in my old room as a child, as I was convinced i was watched as I slept.If you would like to message me, it owld be nice to hear more about yor experiences. The best thing to do is to be able to accept the situation adn be able to keep calm an use it to your advantage, by percieving rater than fearing.
I agree with echo..
And what you described is just what happens during psy vampirism
( I'm not implying anything...But that's how a powerful attack is musterd)
Hmm well I first saw the dark shadow when I was only 7, but there are many other times i've sensed and seen things.
When I was about 6, i saw a figure in my gramnmother's bedroom. it looked like a little girl jumping on the bed. i gasped and said " grandma'sgona spank you if you dont stop!" then she stooped jumping, looked at me, then vanished. it was really wird. Then when i was about 8, i had a dream that my dad had left to go to california and he died. 3 weeks later, he left to california and when my mom and i were sitting at the airport, my mom said " he's enver coming back, is he?" Like she KNEW I knew he wasnt coming back. Like we've been through that before only with something else....
I know this might sond like I'm making it all up, but I'm dead serious. Its really wierd and somewhat unbelieveable. This I know. But I swear to you, from the depth of my soul, I'm serious.
I have hd many premonitions in dreams hat have allowed me to finish sentences. I htink it somehting you have to get used to. maybe you could test your perception by seeing what you really can see...
Echo, how could I test it?
And NonMortosEst, even though I spelled some words incorrectly?
If you feel you know what is trying to contact you, then isnt it better to find out why you are wanted, if at all?
Meditation is always a good way to heighten your perception in both the short term and the long term.
I see perception as very important to being able to interpret things aound you. The more you are aware, the more likely you are to stop having scary experiences, and start having more interestign ones, which at least tell you something.
I laughed because I thought it was funny how you said "that last part scared me" and I thought you were refering to the fact that the lady told you you owe her 10 bucks. I wasen't making fun of you. Believe me, it's not my style.
...sounds like a classic anxiety attack. i'd have 'em too if i had a ghosty stalking me alla time. :)
I started reading and got lost. What was the original question?
I to have felt asif someone are something was in the room watching me before.
ABsinthe has a very good point. I think you ma need to be objective about this, and as I said before, keeping a journal can really help.
Agrees with echo, keeping a journal is a great idea. Just remember to add in as many details as posible with each encounter. It may help later on as you look back and see a pattern. and ultimately you may be able to find a solution.
in a sense some people have something different about them where they believe in these "ghosts" or spirits whichever you choose to call them. these spirits do tend to go towards those who can somewhat tell they are there. their intention for a majority of the time is not to cause harm though sometimes it can. most times they just want to let you know they're there, maybe even get in contact with you. or let you know what really happened to clerify things maybe even released from the entrapment of their soul. it does really all depend on how you choose to look at things as to what it could possibly mean.
I'm not sure about people being haunted. It's most likely possible. I know the house I'm staying in right now is haunted, by something rather bitter. I looked up the history apparently the guy built the house himself but died of cancer before he got the change to move in and enjoy it. So I don't really blame him for being disappointed but lately he's doing more destructive things (breaking mirrors) so my main message to him is "Tough luck, piss off" he's stopped for a bit now...But we're all waiting for the next blow.
I think it is possible for people to be haunted by ghosts, or rather spirits...and it kinda sounds to me like one is "haunting" you...but from what i've read, most spirits don't wish to harm you...just to let you know that you're in their space and to just make you aware of their prescence...i wouldn't get to over-worked about it unless it got much more serious...
I like ghosts I mean i know they are real cause i se them all the time
The journal thing sounds like I really good idea. I started one when I was younger and my mom told me to stop becuase if someone found it, they would think I was crazy or something.
I believe spirits can be attracted to certain people who are sensitive to it. I think its all in your aura, how you can be a beacon of sorts for spiritual activity.
I believe that people and places can be haunted. Places are haunted by spirits that believe they have unfinished business here on earth. And People can be haunted by good and evil spirits. Good spirits such as a friend or love one who has passed on. and evil spirits can be one that we have hurt in our lives. For you it could be that the spirit of the guy who was killed is still there and may assume that you are the one who harmed him by mistake. Spirits tend to confuse things like that from time to time. I hope this helps you.
if your mother has issues with you keeping a journal maybe you could write the details of your experiences in it like stories.
as I say... the story's the same, only the names have changed.
U might attract ghost. Where u scare? If u are scare they are not going to let see them.
Sometimes when i get that feeling i close my eyes and i said out loud to let me see them. only If i get calm feeling; if not dont .. just DONT.
I have seen on or two. The first time; was a really bad experience.. Because i got really tired and i felt like i was falling asleep. I dont remember the gost talking but i felt like i knew what it wanted. hehehe chills
Dragon68, He wasn't killed, he had some sort of disorder, causing him to bleed to death internally.
What do you mean exactly Saint? I dont really understand.
If you are a very open person you could be just a easy target for spirits to come and talk to you or try to get your attention. It is possible though that there is a spirit that is angry with you and until you really know why, just be careful. Try to find some way to get in touch with it and see what it wants.
Well, I have been keeping a journal since I was abot eleven years old, and I have a pile of them i my room. I cant explain how rewarding t is t do so, and how much it helps you remember things.
It's good to keep yourself open because you understand things not only in our plane but in others. Of course you shouldn't broadcast yourself everywhere leaping here and there with your energy wide open. Not healthy :P
well it depends on the person and how he/she died it could be that a spirit is bound to u, or in the area just alone. sometimes its best to bannish them if they have probs in our world. yes, a man/woman, can ba posesed in tis prime material plane.
i feel like i am being watch but i am paranoid.. so....and i have seen things before.. and i do belive that gosts exist they are out there....
alians that is a whole another story....
It's perfectly possible you're picking up on things I really believe in ghosts I believe that from time to time deceased relatives pop in and check how you're doing and stuff I feel also that I wanna give you the rational sceptical possible answer, Do you drink alot of coffee? The tugs and scratching you describe sound like muscle spasms caused by caffeine senstivity or withdrawl and the other part could be anxiety I don't wanna be sceptical but anxiety can kill I feel it's important to mention it ^0^
From what I understand(could be wrong) that innocence draws the paranormal.
I don't know about that, mostly because I don't think there is really any such thing as innocence. But there are a lot of cases of poltergeists haunting girls until they reach puberty.
reminds me of unicorns hanging out with girls until they menstrate. hah sorry off topic.
If a person bleeds to death internaly then there cant be blood anywhere. That is because the blood is not coming out it is staying in.I suggest that you check in to the past history of your house, because if there was that much blood I can say that something very violent happen there.
I AGREE.... there is a reason it is called "internal bleeding" and with blood spatter on the walls or floor that indicates "external bleeding"
Then again that is really not the main topic here is it?
i do believe that people can be haunted,,,for whut reason i do not know,,maybe for revenge maybe for security,,dont know
they r always there its just how open your mind is at the time if you ask they will come
it's not always certain people... I know that I'm haunted and I know that several other people are haunted.... some have it worst than others, it just depends on if the soul is tormented or stuck!
from my own exsperiance i know that they are there i do not see them but i fell them and i can fell there pain.
now with some i cannt fell the spirts pain but i know that they are there. (exspeacaly when i go to witches circle.)
well some ppl just have a natural touch to the spirit worlds and all
I've gone a scary experience too : I was young, and I've seen a white ball who's flying up of my head, and all the nights, everywere... that's stopped when I go out of my parents house... maybe an haunted house !
when it comes down to it the are unexplain reason for people to be haunted but some ghost are trying to tell that we are here some of them get jealous of humans i dont know why
This is going to sound odd, but my great aunt was a gypsy who died in front of her alter at home, with my picture in a circle of crystals.
I was therefor invited to the "funeral." (Not in a church or anything. In the private garden of another gypsy. No body or crying, just talking to the person who died.)
There I was told that my aunt had made a sacrafice when she died. Instead of going on, she'd decided to stay near me as my gardian angel. You don't just get one of those in thier religion. You only get one if someone chooses to help you. And my aunt had my picture in that cirlce of crystals because she'd chose to help me.
I don't often feel her with me. But, I guess she is, and I guess you could say I am haunted. But, I look at it as a possitive thing. Sort of a back-up if you're conciense falters...
If you really are haunted, perhaps the spirit doesn't want to hurt you. Maybe it likes you and wants to stay near you to protect you.
Ghosts are deamons posing as those who passed and we once loved or lived were we are found. Cuase the soul has no shape, for, or look..so nothing can look like you if you are dead exept a deamon. It is found in the bible and in many ghost websites so I'll give you links if you need more info.
ghost are everyone and yet people get freaked out by them.
many offers and many suggestions have been offered, and i know as well, from my own personal experiences, how difficult your task is of exploring different realms to encounter the "correct" approach to the situation...the positive side of this is that you are not alone on your journey...
i think you could be something or a ghost could be after you for doing something
I think the best aproach to this is done by the folks at T.A.P.S. They try to debunk (find real reasons for thigs), before they declare a finding of hauntings, very pragmatic. Go to www.the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com
Hope this helps.
Be open to experience and communication, and you will learn muchmore than being afraid.
yes i do believ ppl can b haunted, the house i live in is haunted cuz sumtime a go a a family was murder in this very house. n evry once n a while they will come out to were i can sense them really well.. n i dont really kno if u are but u mite if it has hapend to u twice in 2 diffrnt parts of the world, or u culd jus b being tormented but im not really sure. but i have been tormented by gost and demons in my very own room its really scary...
i think people can be haunted, and that some more than others have these things happen to them
i beleave it is possable for ppl to be hunted there r sometimes i see shadows moveing and hear the voices of thoughs that wont leave this earth and they say that there r the faimly members that stay to watch there luved ones
i believe that a soul isnt laid to rest unless he has achieved what he didnt in his past life. and if that means roaming the eatrh, and tormenting the people to either, find what the soul wants, to discover secrets that should of been discovered, or even just to haunt those who have done it wrong, then thats what its gonna do untill it has been satisfied.
yes greeeting everyone this being fmy first post i figuredid make it on something i knew about ... the house i live in has always belonged to my family ...a grand house it maybe their are more ghosts than you ever thought were real ..for the sole reason that anyonewhos ever lived in this house died in it ....well continuing on ghosts all communicate in different ways like my mother for example a soft humming of the lullaby she used to sing me lets me know shes there...
be aware....you could be in the first stages of demonic possession...which is obsession...read about it..
The Dark Arts should not be played with like a game.
yes ppl or objects can be haunted and i think that they can harm or not harm they r just like liveing ppl
ust to make sure you dont stay at ease with your gosts theres nothing to tell you they are really gohsts they could be demons manifesting around you wither to try to posses you adn are having trouble or simply have found a reason to fear you and are trying to tkaek you out before its too late the prencence may seem weak now but it could always grow and become more um violent.
I think its more likely to be places/rooms or something to be haunted, rather than people.
Hey indistinkt i know what u are going through i have had the exact same thing happen and we have moved many times b/c of it and i think that they are following you.....
i agrees with vampiric666 and VampireMistressKura, its normaly rooms and places that are haunted, sometimes it will have influence on people, but mostly because they are the same places.
I was raised on an indian reservation and I have experienced some pretty crazy stuff.
what if ghosts are just a figment of you imagination but yet what if ghosts were real but yet not frealy ghosts and we were the ghost to them what would happen if they noticed that they were the ghosts or we realized we were the ones hanging on to something that isnt there and when we die we are actualy getting accepted in either heaven or hell that dark warm nice place to be
now lets say the body that we leave behind is just a shell
well i guess that is all i have to say
Sure, why not. A lot of odd things happen. I mean look I was born. No wait that was stupidity that got me here. Sorry! -CITN
well for those few that are worried over demonic possesion there is no need i have far more willpower than most demons could comprehend ...if they are tryin to get in my head ...its not working ...'fore i have dealt with theeir kind before beleive me its nothing new ..
i think everyone at some point as felt that not alone feeling. Maybe you should try and get some sleep!
due to so many people claiming "hauntings", the professionals hardly have time to go test around a personal home, unless the occurances happen on well enough terms.....I've tried.
anyhoo, without the professionals, I can give you some info.
But, I can say that the info is straight from the "professionals"
and you might want to look into it...soon.
Get in touch with me within a day or so.
The only reason I'm not posting it up now, is because in my whirl-wind strickened room, i have to dig for the info.
keep in touch and as soon as i find it all, i'll let you know.
ah, well i might as well add to the post while I'm at it...........
It's not the ghosts themselves that I'm worried about.........It's the houses.
At least when u encounter a ghost, you can't hear it's heart beating...like you can with a house. That's when you know there's more to an entire house than what meets the eye.(so to speak)
If anyone is interrested in my elaborations of this subject, I guess I'll write the story and post it somewhere under the journal section in my profile.
Sounds like something out of "Rose Red".... the movie... The house is alive!
Really there are a lot of practical answers for everything all you have to do is weed it out to find the paranormal...
If you see paranormal before you can see practical then I am afraid your too obsessed. And you should really try to read a book rather than watch movies all the time.
maybe these beings, or presence whatever you want to call them... need help... and they're trying to communicate with you... maybe you should try to listen... and to talk to them.... you just have to have faith in yourself that you'll manage to figure out from them what they want.
OK just a question....
The presence youre talking about... have you ever seen it? if so what does it look like?
And just a thought but using a digital camera try snapping a photo when you have that feeling. (make sure the lights are off)
In my personal opinion, I do believe people can be haunted. What I mean by this is that some people are just open to spirits, ghosts, or whatever you want to call them. On most occasions they do not cause harm, but if they died a violent death, then they may be after revenge. I have experienced several sightings of ghosts. I have never been harmed by them. I believe they just needed that last bit of human contact before moving on. If they are causing you harm, then you would benefit from cleansing your room. The whold house would be better. Also, you could just try asking them why they are there and tell them it is time to move on to where they are suppose to be. I haven't done alot of up to date research on this subject, but those things I suggested was in the research I did several years ago.
I wish you luck with this. I hope you can resolve the matter without any personal damage.
gee thanks abbsinthe.... FYI...
I've never seen that movie, and I dont watch movies that much, I barely even watch tv. and the only books i read are dean koontz, which has nothing to do with it......
anything else K.I.A.??
I too have had many weird experiences, but I can't say anything that frightening has ever happened to me. *knocks on wood*
I completely believe in spirits because every place Ive lived in has been haunted. Ive been attacked several times by an unseen force or two or three lol. Its creepy sometimes but mostly just cool.
There are endless possiblities here...I think everyone covered just about all of them. The big thing is to be careful and NOT ignore it. Have you tried simply asking it to leave you alone? Sounds funny, but in most cases it works.
it is very much possible that people individuality can be haunted. the spirit takes an interest in an individual and follows them to where ever they venture. as to why spirts take a specific interest in people varys from case to case, but in most cases, you can not get rid of the spirit.
you could very well have one interested in you, but from what you are describing to me, might just be the spirit of the deceased man that is bothering you. without knowing more about your experiences, i cant give you a professional opinion
(parapsychology certificate, working on my degree)
I might not know much but I do believe you are being haunted. I believe that certain people attrack spirits, and those spirits follow them forever. I should know.
i inherrited my grandma and grandpas house it was cool i practicly grew up hear ... my grandma died in the house and we know she is still hear .... she turns things off and on ... we can close all the cubbard doors in the kitchen when we go to bed and when we get up everyone is open.... and things are constantly being moved ...we always have the feeling were not alone ... it scares the kids but i enjoy it... cause i know she is still hear with us.
a lot of people go through a lot of the same things as you do... it's not rare ~_o
im haunted, many years ago (12) I was in a bad car crash and was pregnant .when i was let out of the hospital i went to stay with my mother..who started to drive me CRAZY. a friend invited me to stay with her and her husband who had cancer.that way i would be around and she could go out shopping and get things done without feeling bad about leaving Joe by himself..Joe and i became very close..he dies the day before my birthday.he always like to play jokes on my when he was alive,now to this day he still spends time with both me and his wife and he still like to play jokes on my..i hope he never leaves me.
It is in my experience that a person is not haunted, bur rather the place/object. The beings may be attracted to one person more than another, but I feel that is the extent of it.
i do not find that true..i have moved many times since Joe's death and i dont even think i still have one thing from that time in my life.well one. Joe himself. like i said he spends time with me and his wife..he will be with me a day or a week then he is with her.he watches out for us. stand guard so to speck.. the one thing Joe left me in his will was to be my birthday gift the day after his death. i do not even keep in the house.. it in a bank box.
There is a picture of my little cousin, in our backyard, with a white figure in the background, like energy. Some people have tried to explain it away, but not being there they don't know.
Overcast day, extremely so
No reflective surfaces
Not a thump or somesuch as the figure was whole and was not cut off in the picture at all.
Interesting, no?
I think that it is quite possible for someone to be haunted, but i really cannot give any sound reason why i think this...hehe :)
I have had a presence following me for most of my adult life....
I and those i have lived with just call it the imp...
causes general annoyance....misplacing things you KNEW you had.....sometimes even things that were moments ago right in front of you....but other than that just a pest
i dont think ppl can be haunted however i think ghosts can b attracted to people that are more sensitive to this kinda thing, like me, stuff like that happens to me all the time it doesnt bother me any more i know they are harmless
i just dont think that a person could be haunted. i personally think that u r just being tormented by a spirit or ghost in that house
i dont think they can nesisarily be haunted but a while ago i did have a spirit that folowed me around to protect me and keep me company. since then i move across town and have not seen him besides when i do and visit my old house (my mother still owns it) i miss having him around espesialy when i feel other spirits around me.
i have just now realized that i am not the only one to see these apparitions...yay
now i feel better...... but alas i was born with it
