Unusual experiences

[NorthernTigress]

I wanted to post something odd that happened to me today, but I realized it wasn't *quite* worthy of its own separate thread. So I looked around for a Spirituality equivalent of the various interesting little threads in Chat, and didn't find anything. So I decided to make one.

So if you've had anything happen of a paranormal or spiritual nature, and you want to share, post here.

This is mine.

This morning, while I was lying in bed trying to make myself wake up, I thought I heard the sound of someone breathing next to me. At one point, it almost even sounded like a sigh. The thing is Hubby, who works the overnight shift, had not crawled into bed yet. In fact, he hadn't even gotten home.

So what did I experience? The past, the future, a spirit?

It could be many things, from inner ear issues to an actual presence. How long did it last and did it last after you changed position?

I have had both types of experiences. If I lay with my hear burried in a pillow, or if that pillow comes too close and creates a sea shell effect, I hear conversations, singing, etc. But I have also had paranormal experiences. I was lucky enought to go on a ghost hunt with the team from TAPS (Ghosthunters, on the SciFi channel). Jay and Grant were doing a K-2 session for what must have been 50 people and everybody was asking questions and getting answers. Grant asked "Will you touch somebody". The spirit said "No". He asked "Do you want to touch somebody, and the spirit said "yes". So he asked everyone to raise their hand if we were OK with being touched. Everybody did. He then said to the entity "See, everybody is OK with you touching them. So, will you touch somebody". The spirit said yes. Then I felt this growing energy coming at me. It became like electrical shocks or bee stings. Then, it suddenly concentrated on my arm, like the spirit was putting his hand on my arm. Grant asked if anybody was touched, and the spirit said yes again. I told him it was me and told him what it felt like. He held my arm up in the air and he asked the spirit if he had touched me and the spirit said yes. It was something I will never forget.

I've also seen things and heard things. And friends have seen things around my house. Doors have opened, chairs have moved. Dogs have tried to play with something that wasn't visible. The vast majority of spirit activity is totally benign and really fascinating. It certainly opens up a whole world of possibilities, doesn't it?

HAHA we were having the same thoughts : )

Hi NT : )

Last night I was starting to doze off when I heard someone whispering. It caught my attention and I woke up a little startled. I was alone in my room and the only other person here was my son....2 bedrooms away. About a minute later I heard whispering again. LOL now I was really awake. I couldn't make out what was said but I got the feeling this was a male voice.

I thought about starting a new thread and then thought I would post this in the "overall" Meet Your Guides thread. HA you beat me to it : )

This reminded me of something that happened last summer. I was sleeping and it was early morning, I want to say 3 or 4 in the morning. I could hear a train...the sound the wheels make as they hit the tracks. At first the sound was very faint (and this woke me up) but then it got louder and louder. Then I could hear the whistle blowing. The sound was coming through my pillow, not like something I was hearing from off in the distance.

Some weeks ago, I slept at my mum's because I was to look after her dog as she was away from home for a day.

I had a very vivid dream about my stepdad (died 11 years ago) - that he was in the room and that we were talking about some things which were on my mind at the moment.

When I woke up, I felt his presence (which I sometimes do - he comes by from time to time to see how I'm doing and to tell me some things he wants me to know, though I'm not always good at picking up on them. I have trained as a medium but it's been a while since I last worked with my mediumship and I'm only in the beginning of my developement).

He kept showing me a black book on the book shelves behind the bed where I slept, but I'm not always good at trusting my abilities so I let it go, but he kept showing me this book and the numbers 13 and 17 over and over. Finally, I went to see if there was such a book and indeed there was! It was his family bible that I didn't know existed - and I looked on page 13, vers 17 and it said "go forth into the country in its width and its length" (translated from Danish). At that time I was really thinking hard about moving to another part of the country!

Very interesting, NT. Perhaps asking who/what this is will provide an answer to your question. if it was your guide/spirit, they may make themselves known again to you.

I've had many experiences like this myself, and while I love to always think it is spirit visiting, sometimes I know it is not that but something else.

One of my most interesting 'bed time visits' happened years ago when my husband had left for work. this occurred a few times and always AFTER he would leave for work.

He left early and I stayed in bed for another hour or so of sleep. But, I would feel something 'crawl' into bed with me. I would even be able to feel the bed moving under the weight of this 'something' and see indentations in the bed covers as their weight was being put down onto the bed itself. I could also see the pillow getting an indentation in it as if something was resting it's head on the pillow. But I never saw what/who it was.

I asked once who or what it was, and I heard my neighbors dog bark, but that dog rarely ever barked, so that was also odd and good timing. Then a few days later, I had a psychic reading and the psychic told me that my childhood dog was around me constantly. She also began to laugh and say, he tells me that he crawls into bed with you every morning after your husband leaves for work.......

at least I got my answer!

This is my all-time favourite creepiest experience -
I worked nights as an office cleaner in a huge spooky office block in Edinburgh's Old Town. Lots of spirit activity up on the top floor, so much so that none of the other cleaners would go up there alone - but I liked the peace and calm, so it was my patch.
One night something made me look at a certain area near the lifts. As I looked, this intense black figure came out of the wall. It was the size & shape of a human child of about 10, but it actually made my scalp physically crawl, & I felt sick. It felt, and looked, NOT RIGHT at all. I can't describe it in any other way.
Then it flicked very fast behind a potted palm & hid. The next instant I heard the lift doors go, and then the security guard came in from the foyer. This guy was from Ghana, very black and very big, but he was pleasant enough with a big smile. (Relief guard not our usual one and he only ever came that once). He nodded to me and passed me doing his walk-round. I stayed well back but did not see the black thing follow him.
As soon as he was out of sight my legs just went wobbly under me LOL - and I had a coffee and sit down in a side office. As soon as I felt brave enough I flew past the pot plants and got the lift downstairs to be among people for a bit.
I have thought and thought about this incident and this "thing" - and decided it was connected to/with the guard, mainly for my own peace of mind as I had to work up there alone 5 nights a week...but also it made sense to me. I had never seen anything like that before and never have since, although I worked there for a few years after that. But was always wary of that section !
