A friend of mine whos currently living in his aunt's house as he's studying in London.

The house he live in is haunted by two ghosts, 1 which is a little boy and the other is a "thing" which he didnt really know what it was.

One night he was up playing WoW till late, with the rest of the family ready in bed sleeping, the ghost slam shutted his bedroom door and locked him in from the outside. The slamming noise woke up the family and his aunt opened his door for him. He also often hear running noises on the stairs/corridor when no one's there.

The little kid ghost would get jealous, when my friend's aunt read bed time story to his little cousin. The ghost will throw stuff around in the room and stops once the aunt told it off. Also friend once went into his cousin's room and only find his cousin sit facing the corner of the room repeating to himself: let it go...just let it go.

I've suffered with it since I was about 3, it's my earliest memorys, use to scare the hell out of me. Luckily I saw a documentary about it when I was 14ish. after that I was fine as I knew what it was. It will be something I show my kids if I ever have any. Have had any in a few years know though.

I only suffer sleeping paralysis if I'm really tired or had really messed up sleeping cycle for the past few days.

Strange why people would feel rather unsafe under the circumstance.

yeah the main reason people get them is disreputive sleep patterns.

They're extremely scary when you don't know what they are. Now you just go oh sleep paralysis and enjoy the hallucinations.

I sometime get it when I'm sleeping face down as well, which I'm not sure if I'm suffocating in reality or hallucinating. Either way, I can't say I really enjoy that, as it's not scary at all since I know I'm having sleep paralysis but I am for fact trying so hard to breath.

Not sure if I've posted our experience before, but here's the edited highlights.

Beloved OH and I were visiting a cousin and her husband with our new baby daughter when we were startled to hear their son screaming upstairs about a man in his room. OH and the husband ran upstairs but there was no-one there. Cousin is so disturbed that she leaves me in the lounge and runs down the road to call on a woman who she has been told is a medium. The lady comes into the house and goes straight upstairs and says that she can feel the presence of the man and that she feels like her back is burning. The son, she says is not to worry as this is his guardian spirit watching over him, and then turns to my OH and says congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter. OH is amazed as there is no way that she could have seen me and there is no indication that there is a baby in the house.

This lady then accepts an offer of a cup of tea and comes downstairs for a chat. She explains that everone has a guardian spirit and describes our daughter's. She perfectly describes my great grandmother, after whom our daughter is named.

Some months later, my cousin and her hubby are visiting his parents who live up north. He is in the loft with the son, searching for his old train set, when the son comes across a picture and says that this is the man who he saw. The parenst don't know who the picture is, so make enquiries amongst various relatives. It turn out that the picture is of a distant uncle and he died in the first World War from burns to his back.

Thats mad.

Another story:

My aunt's father who passed away more than a decade ago because of cancer. During the time he spent in the hospital, one day my aunt went to visit him. He lived in this unit alone and suddenly he decided to take all his clothes off. My aunt asked him why is he taking all his clothes off, which he replied: all those people (which he said are old men mostly) are taking their clothes off, and they are asking him to do it as well.

Fact was there were only my aunt and him in the room :eek:

I have sleep paralysis fairly regularly, I used to find it quite frightening, but now it's just more of an annoyance.

It's not exactly supernatural. Its just a chemical that gets released from your brain that prohibits movement during REM sleep that might knock your partner's teeth out, but the timing is wrong and it's present while you're in a near-waking state. Quite common, and usually allowing yourself to go back to a dream state will cause it to pass.

I was lying in bed once, and it was dark and I saw a ghost. Then I woke up. I called in a medium, and she said that it was my great-grandfather's brother, and she knew that he was dead and that he was a man and that he had a job and that he died from problems in his chest or abdomen or getting shot without me even telling her. She asked if his name was Alf, John, Jack, Peter or Charlie but it wasn't it was Andrew and I told her and she said that was it. I gave her some money and she went away, and some money was gone from my mantelpiece but I think the ghost took it.

OMG!!! That's amazing!

Oh I know it's nothing to do with the supernatural, I was just replying to the other people who have/had it. I guess if you didn't know what it was you could think that it feels supernatural because of the rather odd things you think your experiencing at the time.

Agreed. (I was just quoting yours because it happened to be on this page). I guess people have really vivid, realistic hallucinations during this stage. That's part of what I was referring to when I made this post in the "What are you afraid of?" thread:

Thought I picked up a dead baby ghost the other day - ectoplasm and everything.

Turned out to be an old used hanky

I'm trying to understand what you mean. If you're asking whether I'm interested in the supernatural/spiritial, then yes I am; but whether the supernatural/spiritial is all 'fake' or not is a matter of opinion.

Secret_Window · 10 Jun 2008 at 17:27

taz488 is fake. He doesn't actually exist, he is a figment of your imagination and the quote you have there is one you made yourself. Or perhaps none of this really exists and you are in the matrix.

True, or we may not actually be alive and just be brains in vats kept by some mad scientist. But whether we are actually brains in vats or not a] we're unlikely to ever know and b] doesn't matter since we still enjoy the kinds of sensory perceptions we experience.

uknowist · 10 Jun 2008 at 17:38

techinically i did to some ppl, to others(like myself) it was a waking dream. Woke up saw this faded image of a women standing at the bottom of my bed, i was a bit startled but kept looking, eventually she faded away...

Yeah, and all the paranormal experiences are glitches and the aliens are the scientists observing us
