ghost stories

I had a dream last night. At least I think it was a dream:

I was either halfway asleep and dreaming, or dreaming I was halfway asleep. but as I was nodding off, I got really cold, my hair stood up on end, I couldn't move, yet I was convulsing, and I "heard" ghostly voices in my head as a stream of bluish/white light passed through me, and the cat whined.


Has anyone else had ghostly experiences?

That sounds a bit like Sleep Paralysis .

Nothing supernatural. I've seen someone clad in black standing behind me in a reflection once, or someone else's pale face staring back at me when there was no one there, but both times I was running a fever, exhausted, and I'd been awake for ~21 hours having slept poorly the previous week.

Hmm... I have one of those 80s popular beanbag chairs. I have only tried this for a few times, but for some reason if I'm tired and I fall asleep while sitting comfortably in that beanbag, and then wake up, I feel paralysed for a short time. I don't especially appreciate the feeling, so I haven't tried to purposefully do it too many times. Though I have certainly not hallucinated, just been unable to move.

But I have never experienced any kind of sleep paralysis otherwise, just those few times with the beanbag chair.

Once, when I had fallen asleep on the couch, I couldn't move for almost 3 minutes after waking up. I was really freaked out, and tried to say something to the other people in the room, but couldn't. It was rather disturbing.

Also, sometimes when I'm really tired but can't quite fall asleep, I can imagine voices with incredible clarity. I can tell that they're just in my head, but I can 'hear' them as if they were real, which is an unusual occurrence for me... I find it pretty difficult to imagine any kind of sensory input, be it sounds or images, most of the time. Once I also heard Mahler's First Symphony in my head like this, too. That was pretty cool.

I used to get sleep paralysis allot. I usually experience strong feelings of boredom. (Yes being suspended in a black void with out your body is boring) :p

My grandparents left me in their house alone one day when they went out for groceries and left me asleep on the couch. I opened my eyes a little later, but I couldn't see anyone, and more alarmingly, I couldn't move. I eventually had to stop my breathing in order to choke and wake myself up.

Very frightening,
Cordially,

I woke up, it was still dark, and I couldn't move. My brian said "legs, move," but they wouldn't comply. I could feel something, kneeling beside my bed just outside of view. I tried to turn my head, but once again my body was uncooperative. I could hear a voice, or at least I thought I could. It was saying, in the softest and most evil of voices, "Kill... I will kill you..."

I tried to get up, I really did. But the weight of my body surpassed the strength of my will, it would seem. I tried to speak to the figure kneeling beside me, but my voice caught in my throat and barely a whimper escaped my lips.

I woke up screaming.

I have, on a few occasions, been in a half asleep state (almost like lucid dreaming), in which my mind works very fast. It's really odd. I can visualize objects/situations with extreme clarity.

Though not completely related, I have found myself passively able to predict things in the future (and no, they weren't coincidences - I mean things like word for word conversations). VERY odd. I can't make myself do it, and it has only happened on 8 or 9 occasions... Oh well, I'll won't say anything more - none of you will believe me anyway... :o :p

I've done that, and also with a feeling of slipping.

(00:53:51) me: 2 week or so ago
(00:54:02) me: i went to missour to lake wamp something but anyway we rent a cabin there
(00:54:12) friend: Oh I don't know anythin abt cabin
(00:54:12) me: for bout a week a group of kid and me went and we had an blast
(00:54:15) friend: Ooo
(00:54:21) friend: That's good
(00:54:22) me: but anyway i was telling anita the other day
(00:54:27) me: bout how the cabin was haunted
(00:54:33) friend: Oo
(00:55:00) me: its sort of a little long tale but its sort of funny now i look back at it
(00:55:28) me: basically there was this pond behide the cabin that no one noticed
(00:55:50) me: untill there was ahem some drama in the cabin so me and two friend left cos we was sort of pissed off at the others so we went out and wandered
(00:56:07) me: and we eventually endup at this pond behide the cabin, bout 200 feet or so i think
(00:56:27) me: we found a bench that was sitting right on the edge of the water so if u sat in it ur foot would be in the water
(00:57:26) me: we thought it was bit strange but other than that didn't think much bout it
(00:57:36) me: so i dragged it back so we could sit in it and just talk/relax
(00:58:01) friend: Ooo
(00:58:10) me: when i finally dragged it back a few feet
(00:58:17) me: then we all started to feel sort of eerie
(00:58:37) me: anyway i was bout to sit into the bench and i feelt an horriable feeling so i decided to leave it alone so we wandered around the pond
(00:59:01) me: and we noticed that it was perfectly quiet (one girl was hard of hearing) and the water was perfectly flat not a single thing moving, not even bugs
(00:59:05) me: there's BUG everywhere in missour
(00:59:12) me: and the water smeelt funny
(00:59:25) me: but probably just decay but still it does give it an eerie feeling
(00:59:39) me: then one girl said she thought she saw a skirt in the water
(00:59:51) me: so i got a long wood stick and poked and dragged it ashore, was just an pastic bag,
(00:59:56) friend: R u serious?
(00:59:58) friend: Lol
(01:00:13) me: threw it back in the water, (next day i check on it, and it didn't move from the spot i threw it, which isn't normal)
(01:00:35) friend: Maybe it got stuck
(01:00:38) me: could
(01:00:49) me: then nother girl
(01:01:03) me: said she saw the water doing something wierd, basicaly one side of the pond was higher than the other
(01:01:06) me: by a couple of inch
(01:01:12) me: like it was at an slant
(01:01:17) me: and were like wtf
(01:01:29) me: so we decided to leave it alone
(01:01:46) me: and wandered over to the little "gift shop" in the lobby where u get ur key to the cabin and blah blah
(01:02:03) me: anyway we entered and first thing i noticed was the odd feeling
(01:02:29) me: that no one has ever tounched anything in this shop for many year, all of the clothing was 50's to 60's syle clothing and all of them was woman clothing,
(01:02:56) me: had the feeling that no one tounched it in years yet they were all perfectly clean not a single winkle or anything in the clothing
(01:03:14) me: then one girl picked up some jewery and then she put it back down and we were sort of geting creeped out so we left,
(01:03:33) me: that night one of the girl that went w/ me to the pond she said she saw eyes in the window
(01:03:40) me: sort of redish w/ some blue tint
(01:04:04) me: appeared a few time, it could have been an animal but it was placed aproxmatly 5ish foot off the ground
(01:04:27) me: so i dunno on that but i never saw it but she got creeped out and asked me and luke to go out to invest around the cabin
(01:04:46) me: so we went out and saw nothing, happened a few time, nothing every single time then i finally thought perhaps we should search further
(01:04:59) me: so one girl me and luke went out and eventually we aproached the pond
(01:05:09) me: was bout 2 am in the morning heh
(01:05:20) me: anyway closer we got to the pond the more creepy we feelt
(01:05:22) friend: Ofc
(01:05:26) friend: I'm not suprised lol
(01:05:29) me: yep
(01:05:37) me: anyway when we got bout 50 some feet away from pond
(01:05:45) me: i saw some black mist rising out of the pond
(01:05:52) me: at first i thought it was shadows
(01:06:10) me: so i shone the flashlight into it because shadows vanish when u shine your flashlight into it, normaly
(01:06:18) me: but those thing well just sucked up the light
(01:06:45) me: 3 black mist in form of human but their face was a blank and u could only really see the body and arm almost like a crude sketch
(01:07:27) me: anyway all 3 of us bolt and ran like hell, i was first though the door ofc lol, it was an 100 feet dash within a few second slammed into the door and it almost fell out and went flying into the room what 10-15 feets
(01:07:46) me: and the last one flew in then turned around and slammed the door close and jammed it close
(01:07:53) me: because the key was broken
(01:08:04) me: got it replaced the next day but was sort of suspecting
(01:08:10) me: anyway after that nothing happened that night
(01:08:24) me: so next day we took out rest of the kids to invesgate the ponds
(01:08:33) me: but one thing i noticed
(01:08:37) me: nothing of them tounched the bench
(01:08:56) me: or tounched anything in the gift store, only 3 of us did
(01:09:04) me: anyway that night
(01:09:32) me: i was bushing my teeth and a couple kid was standing around the door complaining about the day's "drama u know" then without a warning the door slammed open
(01:09:38) me: i was like wtf, and rest of em screamed lol
(01:09:45) friend: Lol
(01:09:50) me: okay we closed the door and i feelt around the door
(01:09:55) me: to check to see if it was perhaps the air
(01:09:57) friend: Could be wind
(01:09:59) me: so i shut off the AC and stuff
(01:10:06) me: to make sure there's no air movement
(01:10:15) me: okay perfectly still and we even locked the door shut
(01:10:25) me: it was a door that was inside the cabin not a outside door
(01:10:34) me: okay so we waited
(01:10:38) me: boom the door slammed open
(01:10:49) me: i had checked to make sure it was locked etc and that i couldn't push it open
(01:11:06) me: closed it again and i was chatting w/ some people bout it
(01:11:11) me: when just the second i looked at it
(01:11:18) me: it slammed open so that scared the crap out of me lol
(01:11:23) me: totaly unexpected
(01:11:39) me: anyway next day we checked the wall and guess what
(01:11:46) me: there was an couple inch dent in the wall
(01:11:52) me: i'm talking about solid wood oak wall
(01:12:14) me: tougher than hell yet there was an dent in the wall, i tested it myself and i couldn't open the door hard enough to make an dent so...
(01:12:46) me: anyway that night lol 2 girls sleept in the bed and two boys sleept in the floor in the girl room cuz no one would enter the boy room which the door was keeping on opening itself
(01:13:11) me: that night i keept on dreaming that a shadow would appear and silt my throat so i woke up, checked then went back to sleep, it repeated all night drove me nutty
(01:13:20) me: other than that that was it, next day
(01:13:33) me: nothing happened and i forbade anyone from going to the pond to test a theory of mine
(01:13:41) me: tho i did get other to support it
(01:14:47) me: so no one went to the pond that day, and the door didn't slam itself open but yeah it did open but it was slow open and i checked and yeah it was moving air but first night there was no moving air so... plus it was just drifting open and no one had locked or closed it fully anyway
(01:15:00) me: onice it was locked and closed properly it never opened that night
(01:15:11) friend: Ooo
(01:15:12) me: anyway some of us sleept in the same room again lol
(01:15:21) me: and we jammed our door close
(01:15:22) friend: Maybe someone played prank?
(01:15:24) me: so no one could get in
(01:15:25) me: could
(01:15:27) friend: Sometimes that happen
(01:15:29) me: i have couple theory
(01:15:55) me:
1) its real ghost
2) an damn good prank
3) someone was doing witch crafting
4) etc...
(01:16:07) friend: Oo
(01:16:13) me: but i didn't find any devices on the door or so on so i'm not sure if its a prank
(01:16:17) me: if it ws then its damn good one
(01:16:28) me: but.... there's more
(01:17:00) me: that night i keept on dreaming that i would wake up and see this black mist pouring though the door that would becaome tetacles to choke us, heh keept on waking up inspecting the door and going back to sleep
(01:17:14) me: then one girl said she feelt an cold hand on her back
(01:17:21) me: it like slammed her on her back
(01:17:31) me: btw her back was facing the wall and no one ws sleeping there
(01:17:49) me: then again nother girl woke up because that one girl was screaming and clawing at her eyes
(01:18:21) friend: U gotta be kiddin me
(01:18:27) me: plus some people claimed that some of the eyes in the pictures was following them, but that's a common trick used by artist in their painting so i mostly dismissed that one as imagation but it could be real
(01:18:28) me: nope
(01:18:30) me: ask luke
(01:18:51) me: then the next night we all sleept at the hotel
(01:18:55) me: that's how freaked out people were

I've experienced a sleep paralysis episode. It was scary as a mother****er. I woke up and I was twitching out and I couldn't do a thing. I was so freaked out I skipped midterm to go to the doctor.

Space Ghost: Hey, have you heard my famous story? It starts in a couple of minutes... Beat... A long beat.
Dennis Miller: Come on. What, do you need an edit point, Space Ghost?
Space Ghost: (Dramatic music in background, black and white cartoon montage from old Space Ghost cartoon plays behind him as he speaks.) The race war had begun. Machines were building robot babies to replace other babies. Everyone knows what happened next. The End. (Music and montage end)
Dennis Miller: (laughs) Real?
Space Ghost: Written by Space Ghost. Robots by ILM... and Space Ghost. George Lucas by Space Ghost. House lights up, people leave theatre. Trash everywhere. Zorak, clean up the trash while I go rethread the projector. Later, Dennis.

Oh, not that kind of Ghost story? My mistake.

I've had sleep paralysis before... at the time, it felt like something was holding me down, preventing me from moving at all.

The last time it happened, all of my muscles started working and I pushed whatever was holding me down in my dream right off of my bunk bed. I woke up right where I had been in the dream.

Had a few, yeah.

I remember when I looked outside during a heavy storm, I saw a young man walking in a black leather trenchcoat. I didn't recognise the man at all. He was walking against the wind direction, yet his coat didn't fly around behind him, but just slightly move to his front. I didn't understand it, but I remembered his face and stopped caring about it.

A few weeks later, I had found out who that man was, when we were looking at old family pictures; it was exactly how my grandfather looked when he was 21. I still have that trenchcoat.

Incidentally, I'm posting this on what would have been his birthday.
