| diamond girl In The Murder Scene  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 21906 | I'm just curious to know. I strongly believe in spirits and paranormal activity. I've only had one encounter, when I was five years old, involving my grandfathers spirit, but it was enough to make me a believer for life. |
| deafening_silence Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 409 | yeah. i watch paranormal state. in fact, i watched last night. =) good episode. i love those programs. paranormal state and ghost hunters are cool. i believe that there are paranormal events that occur. however i do believe that a lot of things can be explained away. as far at the witching hour (3am), i'm not too sure about that. i dont believe that spirits hold to a specific time of night. events can occur at any time. day, night. but there seems to be a correlation between activities and night. they way i see it explained, entities draw energy from things around them in order to manifest themselves. if this holds true, then the energies around people would be greater in relation to the surrounding environment at night. |
| perfectly flawed. In The Murder Scene  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 23829 | diamond girl: i loveee paranormal state. it's none of that bull shit stuff that people can call fake. it's real and it's happening to real people. plus they're helping people out while making good entertainment. it's a really addicting show. i watched a marathon a few days ago. i believe in ghosts and everything but i've never had an experience. i've been inside this famous haunted house in jamaica. they had pictures on the wall of photo's that tourists took of mirrors and things like that in the house. but there would be a figure in the mirror or a white orb looking thing. sadly none of my pictures had any ghosts in them. also the only thing i can remotely think of as paranormal was when my grandpa (on my mom's side) died. a few days after, all 3 lights in my mom's bathroom died at the same time. normally they won't die at the same time, and it happened to my aunt the same day. also he died around the time of my grandma's birthday, so during her party, all the lights went out at the same time in the room we were in. we like to think it was him sticking around for her birthday before crossing over. also one more is when my guinea pig died. this is kind of embarrassing, but i was young and pretty upset, so i was praying asking for some sign that he was in heaven with my grandpa. all of a sudden the light in the room i was in turned on by itself. it's never ever done that before. so i like to think that was a sign. lol. |
| Skippy. Always Born a Crime  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5880 | ^ ooh, that's pretty cool. (: i've never really had any encounters. i hope i don't, really. i'd be terrified. i remember once, though, after my grandfather's funeral, we went back to his house afterwards and sat down at the table. after a while, both of my nephews started waving at something in the direction of the door, and they were saying, "hello old man!" and when we looked we couldn't see anyone there. so we thought that maybe they had seen my grandfather. |
| Just Steph... Motor Baby  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 909 | nameless...: Wow that's pretty cool. I wish i could see it. Do you have a clip or a still of it? mgmt.: I don't know about that. If they existed, they'd be there all the time surely? But then, if their laws of physics are different (which they probably are) then who knows? I suppose i could test it out. Long story short: i always feel the presence of another person (like when someone walks in the room and you can't see or hear them but you know they're there) and have done for as long as i can remember. I've puzzled over what it could be, but since i've never known anyone to die, i've had no idea. My latest theory is a guardian angel. I could see if it is stronger around 3am. I tend to talk to it (i hate calling it an it, but i can't tell if it's male or female. maybe angels don't have genders) more late at night, but i've always figured that's coz no one else is around. |
| Skippy. Always Born a Crime Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5880 | Just Steph...: i feel the presence of another person often too. and i don't necessarily believe in the witching hour, i really don't know. but it would be cool to test it out. i'd be much too scared myself. |
| Just Steph... Motor Baby Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 909 | From the first time my mum asked me who i was talking to, I've thought i was the only one who felt it, but i've mentioned it on a couple of message boards now and other people have said they've felt it too, so maybe it is common, maybe everyone has one, but some feel it stronger than others for whatever reason. |
| Skippy. Always Born a Crime Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5880 | ^ maybe. im guessing the ones who do feel it stronger are the ones who actually believe. |
| Just Steph... Motor Baby Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 909 | Could be. But according to my mum i've talked to it since i could talk, and when you're that young you don't think about that kind of thing. |
| brandleys; Death Defying  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 186346 | Yeah this thread hasn't been posted in a while. But I'm not sure if I said that I saw dark figures moving out of the corners of my eyes. It was when we first moved to my old house, and after a while they stopped. I know someone who owned the house died, and apparantly he loved the house. Something similar to that happened today when I was watching a tribute video on YouTube for someone who committed suicide. I think I looked at a picture of the girl, I'm not sure, but all of a sudden I saw this shimmery light above my bed out of the corner of my eye. When I looked it was gone. I'm not sure if it was my eyes messing with me or not, but once it happened I felt different. Not nessasarily startled, but just... different. I still feel strange, and that was hours ago. Come to think of it, whenever I think of her I change moods. It's interesting. I didn't even know her. |
| S713 Joining The Black Parade  Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 225 | mgmt.:: The most "active" time for activity is generally recognized as 2100 to 0600. Paranormal activity is believed to be closely associated with high Electromagnetic Fields, and both AC and DC are believed to have an effect on activity. This includes geomagnetic electric fields. The closer the moon is to the earth, and also the stage in the lunar cycle ("New" and "Full" moons have the greatest effect) then the higher the geomagnetic field. On top of that, there is also an increased chance of paranormal activity during Geomagnetic Storms and M and X class solar flares. These solar flares ionize the earth's atmosphere, which in turn will raise something called the "Magnetic Flux", the product of the average magnetic field times the perpendicular area that it penetrates. This causes higher electrical charges in all objects and living things that can carry an electrical current. This is important, as "ghosts" are believed to be able to take energy not only from natural EM fields, but energy generated from man-made objects as well. The best example of this would be batteries. Often, when people report paranormal activity, they also report batteries in household objects such as flashlights, cameras, and cell phones, will go from full charge to dead in just a few seconds before or during the activity which takes place. It is believed the "ghosts" use this extra source of energy when they try to manifest or communicate via physical "disturbances". Cold spots are also believed to be a similar phenomena. Almost always reported to occur immediately before paranormal phenomena, it is commonly thought that "Cold Spots", or localized areas of a temperature significantly lower than that of the surrounding environment, are "ghosts" or another similar entity, using the heat energy in the air in the same manner that they would use the energy in the batteries. Which would be to manifest in some manner. I hope this makes at least some sense of the "witching hour". |

| MCRmusicmonster Really Not Okay  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 612 | Every time some one takes a pic of me there are ALWAYS orbs floating around me. Sometimes its just one but sometimes it's many. |
| CinemaSpeaks Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 1359 | Starts humming "Ghost Hunters" theme really loudly. I love the paranormal. I don't necessarilly believe in ghosts untill concrete evidence is found. But i do believe that something is going on and it fascinates me. |
| littlejeka Generation Nothing  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 126288 | I love the paranormal and truly believe in it Some of this stuff scares the hell out of me. I've had a few encounters with it, and I know other people who have also. The recent one that happened to me, was a few weeks ago. My cousin apparantly has ghosts in his house. well this one time, I was in his room, and well he was on the bed sleeping. I was using his computer, and his chair is faced near a wall, and my back was to the door of his room. Well i was just surfing the net, when I felt a couple of times like i was being watched, and each time i would turn to the door, there was nothing there. Then after a while, i finally stopped turning back, but then, all of a sudden, I felt this stare, like it was burning my back, it was really intense, and strange. So i turn around, and nothing is there. it gave me the creeps, but I didn't think much about it till later. Never have I felt that in my life. and sometimes, they hear footsteps in his house. or sometimes the tv will turn on by itself. I've been there to see that happen, his tv has no timer, and the remote control is never around someone. sooo yeah. |
| CinemaSpeaks Bleeding on the Floor Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 1359 | I don't get the limestone and paranormal activity theory. How is being in a high limestone area supposed to increase the paranormal activity? |
| Its 'effing Vonda! Fabulous Killjoy  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 104 | Oh, heres another account of the paranormal in my family. My mother was working in a nursing home once and anyone that has worked in a nursing home knows how much nurses talk about anything and everything. They got on the subject of a little ghost boy that shows up whenever a patient was about to die. My mom, being one to believe that ghosts and such don't exist, of course didn't believe a word of it. She was working the late night shift one night and she was doing rounds making sure the patients were alright and so on. She turned around to make sure she had shut a patients door all the way and there was a little boy standing in front of the door looking up at her. She thought at first it was a visitor but she remembered it was almost 4 in the morning. The patient died the next morning and she quit soon after. She told me though, that she believed it was an angel in the form of a little boy, because elderly people always seem to feel comfortable around children. As for the above post, I've always heard that certain things like limestone deposits in the area under the house or building increases the chance for poltergeists. I don't know how true it is, but it's what I've always heard. Also, the people asking about Ouija boards, I have before with an old friend of mine. We ended up contacting her grandmother who had recently passed away. At least I think we did...I think she was moving the glass on me to try and freak me out. Haha. |

| Kick Start My Heart Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 559 | Not so sure how the limestone thing would work, then again I have read that old floor boards attract poltergeists too. Probably just an assumption, I don't see how anybody could tell While on holiday in Greece about four years ago I had a pretty weird experience, I was in bed in the hotel and I woke up during the night and I was being shaken really violently. I'm still not sure if it was a dream but I was wide awake while it happened, I don't know how else to explain it. Last year when I was living with an ex boyfriend there were so many scary things that happened in that house. For instance if we were downstairs we would hear footsteps running upstairs, doors used to slam and people who came to stay always said they felt like they were being followed as they left the house. Another time while my ex was on the phone to his dad, we both heard a loud breathing noise comming through the phone and asked his dad was it him but he hadn't even heard the noise. The scariest incident by far was when we came back to the house we were sitting in the living room and heard a door slam upstairs, its scared us so much! My ex went upstairs to check it out and discovered the shower and one of the taps were running, that scared me so much. I watch all those ghost hunting shows and think a lot of them are pretty much scripted (Derek Acorah anyone?!). I'm really fascinated by the paranormal so I'm glad to have experienced what I did even if it did terrify me |
| Day Of The Dead Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 4772 | My friend helps his mum clean this really old hall by a church in my local town. He said that when the two of them are there, the inside doors start slamming and things get moved around when they are the only two people there. He hears all of these weird noises and groans coming from the corners of the rooms. He's tried filming in the main hall bit where most of this stuff occurs. He put a camera above the fireplace and left it there for two hours while him and his mum went out. They had the keys and no one had a spare. They came back and the camera was on the floor with the battery in it half way across the room. We were watching some of the footage it recorded and it gradually went all buzzy, getting louder like someone was walking towards it and then it just cut out. It was so damn freaky. We are going to go down there sometime to explore. |
