Paranormal Experiences

My personal paranormal experiences.

Paranormal is a general term used to describe an unusual experience or event that lacks a scientific explanation. This term is applied to such events as: telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, ghost, haunting, UFOs, unexplained creatures, the Bermuda Triangle and many other non-psychic subjects.

Stories relating to paranormal events or experiences can be found in popular culture and folklore.

However, the scientific community, as referenced in different statements made by such organizations as the United States National Science Foundation, contends that scientific evidence does not support paranormal beliefs.

When you discuss personal paranormal experiences, you hit either a wall of skeptical inquiry or a flood of individuals who share your belief.

I personally believe in the paranormal. I have had many experiences over the years. The bulk of which have occurred since moving into the home we currently occupy. We have been in residence for close to twelve years.

So, for your review I would like to share some of my personal paranormal experiences.

Great grandmother

I am not sure if I really remember seeing this or remember being told about it. Either way this was my first paranormal experience.

In 1964, I was five years old. My great grandmother came to stay with us while my maternal grandparents took a much-needed vacation. They were her caregivers.

Granny slept in the same room with me. We had two twin beds.

One morning at breakfast, she told my mother about a women knocking on our bedroom window during the night. She said the women wanted her to climb out the window and join her. My mother laughed and told her it was a dream.

The next day Granny died in my mother’s arms. Could this have been the Angel of Death calling for her, the ghost of a loved one or as my mother thought a simple dream?

The rental

I graduated from nursing school in 1979. I moved to Florida and for a time split the rent on an old house in a quiet neighbor with my brother.

Because it was an old house, it did not have central air conditioning. We had small window units in the bedrooms and a large attic fan.

Being Florida, the summers were hot and the summer of 1980 was no exception. We had been told the attic fan would cool the entire house and we found it did. We used it day and night. That was when the noises started.

    I also have an interest in the paranormal and find this article fascinating. It would appear that some spirits find it difficult to move on, also some are more sensitive to such things than others. Thanks for a great read and please share some others.

    Thanks for sharing. I’ve studied paranormal phenomena for some time. It’s uncanny but they always happen to a certain kind of people.

    Wait! I’m not suggesting anything else than that these people are somehow more sensitive (often blissfully unaware themselves) to vibrations or ‘realities’ of a different sort and are ready to acknowledge that that the known ‘fabric’ of reality doesn’t explain everything.

    Pam,
    I love reading about this kind of stuff. I hope you write another article like this real soon. The first apartment I lived in was haunted. One night I was laying in bed, and I hadn’t gone to sleep yet, when this elderly lady dressed in white floated past the two bedroom doors from the kitchen heading toward the living room. I quickly put on my pants and went out to the hall way just in time to see her go through the east wall of my apartment, which was a upstairs apartment! It didn’t take me long to move out. My dad didn’t believe me, so he and my uncle, my moms brother spent the night with me, and they saw the same think I saw. The next morning my dad and uncle had my stuff packed by the time I got out of bed. I moved back in with my parents. A great article Pam! As I say, Write another one quick! I love reading about this stuff! Keep up the great writing!

    As a child, I usually had them but didn’t really mind until the grown-ups made a fuss about them. That’s when I began to get scared. This is an interesting article.

    Thanks for your openness and honesty about dimensions of life which undoubtedly exist in the real experience of many, many people.You and some of your readers might be interested to read the memoir Wisps from the dazzling darkness – a Sceptic’s take on Paranormal Experience which I am currently serialising on my website. This is an account of my many paranormal experiences and gradual coming to terms as a rationalist and a sceptic (in the open-minded sense!) with the reality of those occurrences. We need a more open debate and discussion about those matters. Best wishes Anne W writing on website Writing from the Twelfth House.

    I felt the hairs on my arm stand up while I was reading this, while I’ve not had any paranormal experiences I do believe in life after death. Interesting piece, how you coped with some of those experiences I do not know.

    Very scary because I read it at night with the lights off. How do you do it. I mean are you not scared of the creepy factor of these happenings? I would run out of the house thru the wall like a cartoon at the first voice/paranormal phenomenon.
    Have you not been scared they would want to kill you? I mean besides that just seeing a see-thru figure vanish b4 me would creep me enough that I would walk out and not come back for my stuff.

    In what state do you live please? Did all these people die in your house? Is it damned? Why would you want to live there with all that freaky stuff going on?

    Wow! Great article. I’ve once seen my grandpa walking nearby and turning his head slowly. But then he disappeared. And I once felt, as I was lying in bed, that a girl with long black hair was staring at me, without a peep.

    Teh boy part was the coolest, i experienced that too once, when i was six, i was going to sleep really late, I watched tv at night, when i stood up, my eyes were sleepy so i could not see well i remember going into my bedroom and seeing a dead person on the floor, i ran into the living room trying to not make any noise since my parents were sleeping, to make sure I went in that room again and seen nothing again – after that i saw a lot of ghost dreams, like i seen a monster taking me from my rroom and leading somewhere, i tried to scream but my voice was gone, and my parents were sleeping…..i still get the chills off that dream…

My house is 100% haunted it didn’t bother me too much but as I said in my article update, he’s taken to throwing my walking sticks so I can’t quite reach them which is pretty mean really. I looked at your picture too there is something there for sure. Take care. LB

    My grandfather died about 10 yrs ago, My parents would go to camp on the weekend & I would stay home alone. One specific morning I was sleeping in my parents bed. My mom had a wicker chair in the corner of her room, I woke up to my grandfather sitting in the chair with a white tee-shirt. (He always wore a white tee-shirt). He said, “Hi Tam” (thats what he always called me) I was 17 @ the time & I had a 1 year old sister. He said, ” When you’re mom gets home, make sure April (my baby sister) doesn’t eat her crayons.” I was scared to death. My mom & dad r divorced, so I called my dad to pick me up I was so scared, when my mom & stepdad came home from camp, They bought April a new coloring book & crayons. I never saw him again & the morning I did, he was in a ghost form, I could see him, but I could tell he was a ghost because I could see through him. This is the truth, I’ve never had any other experiences, but I KNOW I saw my grandfather shortly after his death.

    I found this very interesting. When I read the part about the hospital it made remember something that happened to one of my ex-girlfriends. She worked in a nursing home and when one of the residents died she was convinced that the ghost had followed her home. I must admit that her home did feel very strange at that point. The scary thing was that items inside her home were moved. For example she returned home one day and found a chair from the kitchen was inside her bedroom. Not long after this her young daughter was terrified when she opened her bedroom door and discovered that all of her posters had been pulled off the wall and rolled up.

    My cousins house is very haunted
    I honestly think they should start writing a book about it because it’s honestly different from anything I have ever heard. It is very protective of the home and my cousins, so much so that my cousin has developed a friendship with the spirit ( my cousin is 11) I have heard that they usually stop talking to children after a few years but this one has continued. My cousin says he just has normal conversations with the spirit but when he would ask her personal questions she would stop talking. After a while though she was comfortable enough to talk. Her name was Mary and was 16. Every one in the family has had experiences with the spirit. She doesn’t like guests though so things usually pick up when my family comes to visit. This is getting too long but I will say that she turned on all of the circuit breakers when me and my father were re wiring the house and almost electrocuted my father

    Does anyone know of any websites dedicated to exploring why kids are more open to paranormal experiences? I know I had several as a kid – but pressure from adults made me shut out these experiences. I’d like to know how others, now as adults, have opened up to their abilities without fear. thanks!

    A year ago, it was at 3:28 am Wensday. well Thrusday techally. I heard a noise so i got up and walk to the bathroom. I heard a women screamed “help me help me! i’ve been stab!” she kept screaming and screaming. I ignore it and went back to sleep. I woke up and its Thursday you know. and its been bugging me. so after school i did some research. it turns out that like 125 ft away from my house there is a country club. in 2006 on the same day also on thursday. a women was murdered there by a man. she was found stab multiply times.

    This happen again during the summer. i was at a church retreat. I was in the dorm all happy and my friends left me there alone. i saw a collage girl dress old fashion. she was crying. i told my friends and they wouldnt believe me. i found it weird how they was a police station in the collage we were staying in. i search up some stuff online. apparently in 1969 or something. In that very collage there were a Co-ed murdered. it started with a girl. They had a picture of that girl. and guess what? it was the same girl. she was rape and then cut into peiece and store inside trash bin.
