Im new in ATs and recently i was coming home from a friends house after reading a couple posts and the entire way home I felt this presence i was
wondering if anybody knows anything about this.
This is my first time logged in here, have been reading random posts around the site.
Many of the replies have got good reasoning for reasons why your feeling this but I just thought I'd share my experiences.
I lived in Malaysia for a number of years when i was 18, and travelled around by motorbike to friends dinner places etc. Arriving home late many
nights sometimes I would get the very eerie feeling that someone was behind me, not close behind me but at the front gate of the house while I was at
the front door unlocking it to let myself in. (Our driveway was probably about 15metres long). As I was unlocking the door I would get the feeling
that whoever/whatever was there was slowly coming closer. The hairs on my arms and back of the neck would stand up and I would rush inside and flick
alll the lights on.
I sometimes looked back but never directly to where I could feel the 'thing', incase that I did see something that scared the crap out of me. The
old I cant see you, youre not there trick!
This happened a number of times over the couple of years, somedays I woudlnt care, somedays it would really spook me. I related this story to a
malaysian friend of mine, and some other friends were also around, chinese and indian backgrounds, and each of them shared the same ideas of it.
I never put two and two together but they pointed out that I often drove home down a road that has a huge chinese graveyard on either side of the road
for a good 2kms each side. And they told me of a chinese belief that sometimes a deceased person, usually a young girl (as the story goes) would
follow home alone travellers hoping to be invited into the house and have company. But she would only come in if you let her, by looking at her.
I dont know if its the awareness of an idea that can create the extra sense, but after that if I ever felt the feeling, I would be even more aware of
'it' and never look around and get inside in record time.
Each of my friends from different cultural backgrounds each had their own idesa beliefs but they also had feelings/respect or belief of the others.
Well, my first post and maybe some ideas to get the spooky feelings flowing.
