Has Anyone Had More Than One Type of Paranormal Experience?

originally posted by: swords
I have had a plethora of paranormal experiences dating back to my youth, but none so strange as that which has overtaken me in the past year.

However, I don't want to blow my load in a 355 page thread, so I'll start with one of my mum's stories from before she had me.

She was driving from San Francisco, California, to Taos, New Mexico after visiting her old friends back in San Fran. Beside her in the passenger seat of her sunshine yellow VW Convertible was her fiancé, and awake but staring ever skyward through the back window his ten-ish-year old son. They had made their way south from San Francisco and had ventured upon I-40. In the middle of Arizona, in the middle of the night, Son sits bolt upright, gasping, "[MOM] there's something behind us!" Before my mother had any time to react, whatever it was buzzed the VW at what my mother reckoned was about six feet. Most bizarrely, they found themselves not on I-40 in Arizona, as they had been for the previous few hours, but some god-forsaken highway hundreds of miles north in Nevada, with two hours completely missing from their memories. Mom and her fella asked the boy not to tell his friends about it, but you bet your ass that the two of them spun god knows how many tales to explain it when they got back home.

Welcome to ATS and my thread, Swords.
Even though this thread is over 350 pages, people usually click on the name beside the title and see the last post. So, please go ahead and "blow your load".
Everyone here loves hearing new experiences of the members.

That is some crazy s**t that happened to your mom! I've heard of being move several miles from where a person was after seeing a UFO, but this was much further! Wow!

There are some really strange places in AZ from what I've read. They have that military base out there and also an underground base with ETs; lots of reports of strange goings on in the area.

Thank you for sharing with us. Off to read your next story...

More than I can count. Its been life long for me. I can remember seeing ghosts as far back as age 5. Not to mention my nde and an angelic vision. The following 28 years have been rife with ghosts and other spirits, a few cryptids, one instance of a possible black eyed kid, plenty of ufo sightings, and a whole lot of occult type experiences. I was even lucky enough to see a will-o-the-whisp, even though that's not paranormal, but still neat none the less.

Welcome to you too, Marky. Another new member!

It appears you have a ton of stories you could tell us too. Please, do share some in detail. I'm interested in all you listed. Wow!

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Another fascinating story Swords! Thank you.

I'm glad the ghost of your grandfather didn't scare you. Most children would have run kicking and screaming to their mother. LOL

Do you think he had come back to escort your grandmother to the other side? It seems to me this was the case... or, he was just hanging around until they could both cross over together.

Awesome! Keep them coming!

I unfortunately neglected to mention the un-fun boring part where she later identified it as a prototype of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

However, I will give you a decent one of newer vintage.

My husband and I lately sold our house and moved from Illinois to the Pacific Northwest. In our house there was the most hideous bathroom you could possibly imagine. The ceiling was indigo. The walls themselves were somewhere between navy and turquoise, with periwinkle and pink angel sponge prints along the area below the ceiling and the area above the tile splash. The vanity was "shabby chic": as cratered as the moon, pink, and covered with similar angels. The floor had rotted twenty years ago and nobody bothered to fix it then, despite continuing to use the shower. I had quite a big job. My first and most poignant desire was to cover over all the ugly on the walls and perhaps salvage the vanity, which would aid in my sanity during the rest of the repairs. So I bought a big ol' bucket of primer and got to work. Those angels were stubborn little monsters, but 3/4 of the big bucket later, I reckoned they'd vanish beneath a layer of off-white (and I was right, this story is slightly weirder than reappearing angels). I called it a night.

I woke up to my husband hollering that I had dripped wax literally everywhere on the floor. No way, not me, never me. I told him something incomprehensible because I had just woke and then got up to investigate his claims. Indeed, wax had been dribbled in a long circle from the living room to the kitchen, through the office, through the foyer, lingering in the ugly bathroom, and then proceeding to the bedroom, where the wax took a slow trip around the bed in which my husband and I had slept that night. It went back out the hallway towards the living room. My curiosity was piqued, but I had school.

I sent out my usual, "go away, I'm not interested" vibes that usually keep ghosts and things out of my periphery. I normally have no time for their shenanigans. The next night, it had a good time checking out the kitchen.

So it was time to talk, so I got ready talk. Long story short, I told it that it was freaking out my husband. It told me that it was his dead stepmother. That was a game changer. It made sense; it started with the bathroom, which she had remodeled in the mid-'90s. And it also meant that even if I wanted to get rid of her, she didn't want to go, even knowing full well that she was dead and could leave. She loved that house and she loved the memories of living with my husband's dad. She was worried about the house, that we would sell it to people who would ruin it. She was sad to see it leave the family. So I promised her that I'd make sure the people who bought it were chill. I was as good as my word; we sold to a young couple. I watched them from the car on closing day as they walked out of the realtor's office. The guy clicked his heels and his lady jump-hugged him. They were so happy, as happy as I hope to be when my house is done. I have heard no grumbling from her since then, though as I packed the house away, she practically showered me with gifts of occult items. Every time I'd find something magickal in a box or behind a table, I would murmur a quiet thanks to the ghostess with the mostess.

Hey sled, thanks for welcome vibes. Everyone has been great so far, a few trolls, but hey interwebs. Yes, I do have many stories to tell. Perhaps pm, or one of my threads would be more appropriate. At least easier on me, as im not very " techy ". I do all of this on an older cell phone with a slower connection. Im hear to answer any specific inquiries you may have........

Is she sure it was a B-2? What about the missing time and ending up miles away? You do know there are real ET craft like that, right? That's where we got the technology from to build our own.
Well, she was there, I wasn't. So...

Quite a story there on the last one. So, you are a medium. Have you talked with spirits/ghosts all your life?
I could have been if I had developed what I had when I was young, but the things I saw weren't as friendly as a dear departed grandfather. They were evil and black shadows that loved to scare the hell out of me! So, I was more interested in stopping them than learning how to talk to them.

Thanks for sharing another experience. We are here if you want to share more.

Yes, you will find many trolls on the board, but I haven't had that problem on my thread here... much. This is the safest thread on ATS to discuss the paranormal, UFO, Cryptic, High-Strangeness topics there is. I've been fortunate to keep the trolls at bay. I think all the like-minded people here must intimidate them.

You mentioned so many different things that you have experienced, you can choose any one you wish, and I'm sure we will all be fascinated. Personally, I love Big Foot stories, but I like all of them too.

There may not be that many people replying to your posts here, but I can guarantee you they are reading and loving it. I have many fans of this thread.

So... you choose.

a reply to: sled735

You may be right. Anyhoo, ill post a random story here in a little bit. Im playing skyrim right now, because I just don't get much time to do so. I would like to discuss my summoning of an imp, or my " dance with the dead " approach to the shamanic journey. Either way, the info presented with be a true first person account of breaking the veil, logic and reason included. Details, details. Be back in a bit....

I know from personal experience with being date raped (TRIGGER WARNING? DO PEOPLE DO THAT?) that you lose not only the time after you get drugged, but some time beforehand as well. I have sufficient faith in our government to protect their secrets by roofy-ing passers by who accidentally stray into an area where people shouldn't be on the road at two in the morning. Interesting to note, song of the moment is "Big Time In The Jungle" by Old Crow Medicine Show.

I'd like ro share my first ever supernatural experience. Here goes, I was five years old when this happened: it was a beautiful sunny spring afternoon, and I was outside playing by myself as usual. I was intrigued by the small green apples on the large mature apple tree outside our trailer. It was easy to make it to the top, not sure how high up, but it was higher up than I'd ever been at that point. I remember vividly the taste and smell of that bite of an apple so green and so..... not at all edible. I can remember the friendly warmth of the sun against the slightly cool breeze. And then I spotted one little apple with a splash of red on it. It was up near the highest point of the tree, im guessing 30 ft, but who knows? Anyhoo, I had to have it. So, I climbed just a little higher and slipped in such a way that I fell head first straight to the ground. I can remember staring directly at the sun, and my body twitching for a few moments. Then the pain stopped and a woman leaned down to tell me it was ok, that im gonna be ok. She was wearing a long blindingly white dress, hair like the sun, and she completely disappeared the moment I was able to look around. My mom had just walked outside to let me know she cooked some corn dogs, and asked what I was doing laying there for so long. All I did was ask her if she saw the lady, and she looked around and said no. Angel? Maybe. Grandma? Possibly. Odd? I think so. I can still see her in my memories just as if I saw her today. Weird. .......

To my knowledge, I have never been drugged that way, so I can't comment on it's effects. If your mom thinks this is what happened, then I'm sure that's what happened.

Yes, "they" have ways of dealing with people who venture in where they shouldn't be.
A very secretive bunch, our government!

Maybe an angel... maybe your spirit guide. Whomever she was, I'm sure it gave you comfort.

That reminds me of a time when I was drowning in when I was a teen, and while I was under the water a voice spoke to me and told me it wasn't my time; told me to stop fighting and allow myself to float to the surface. I did as instructed, and when I reached the top, there was a friend there who grabbed me and pulled me out of the current.

I remember knowing as soon as I heard her I would be okay and it took away all my fear.

Great story! Thanks for sharing. Got more?

a reply to: sled735

I do. Let me share an experience my bff and I had when we were teenagers. There was an old abandoned house at the site of his old family homestead, behind his trailer. It was located in one of the fields that was used to temporarily rotate thier cattle. One day, we snuck some vodka out and headed to that old dilapidated house to drink it. This was my first visit to that house. It was sunny and beautiful out as we made our way over a gate, and through the field. Now, the approach had me feeling very anxious and I knew we weren't gonna be alone in this place. It was very uncomfortable, and noticeable. My friend asked me what was wrong, and I told him that there was something in the house and it didn't seem friendly. We divided the vodka and had a look around. There was still some furniture in there, and a few trinkets. Now is when it gets weird. We came to this closet, and it was oddly dark. Like black hole dark in it, and Cody was even getting creeped out. I took out my Zippo, and stuck my hand in there and lit it. We couldn't see the sides or back of it. And that was strange, because the back wall was also the living room wall, and couldn't have been more than two feet deep. Upon this revelation, we decided to leave. On the way back, we decided to come back that night and see what was really going on. Night fell, and we geared up with multiple light sources, our hunting knives, and large cajones. Or so we thought. There was a 3/4 moon that night, and we could see ok for nighttime. On the approach to this house, we saw two glowing red eyes pass out of the woods, and behind the house. Whatever that was, its head was big and it was tall, too. After a few moments, our focus shifted to the house itself. The bay window that was our entry point due to the collapsed porch. We could see debris flying sideways inside, then an old twin sized metal box spring. Well, that surprised us a bit. Then, the activity stopped and we were just about to take a closer look, when a red eyed, full bodies apparition appeared before our eyes. We were shocked. Literally in shock. I remember saying " hold your ground ", or something along those lines. But then it began to move towards us! We actually cleared the gate when we ran back to his house. Once we were inside and safe, we smoked a few cigarettes and got ready for bed. And when we turned the lights off we noticed a face in the tv screen. Just staring at us. Needless to say, we had trouble staying awake at school the next day. Hope y'all enjoyed reading it a whole lot more than we enjoyed living it.

I know that feeling!

Ah, yes... the red glowing eyes! I don't know what to think about those! I've seen them too, and they give one a very, very creepy feeling, for sure!

I've read in The Law of One that there are three different types of "Big Foot", for lack of a better name. They say they are a type of ET, and even talk about the one with the red glowing eyes. It is malevolent and will kill humans if it can get close enough.
I'm glad you guys made an escape when you did! Not saying this is what you encountered, but it sure could have been, judging from your description. And since you saw it in the t.v. screen, that would also suggest it had some sort of "power/ability" to use the electronics to communicate, which ETs possess.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. Keep them coming as long as you wish.

Greetings and Namaste, friend. That was surely a Guardian Angel you saw. We all have Guardians Angels. They love us so very much and on a lifetime mission to be with you in every step. If your time has not come, they will save your life everytime. Be observant and treat every person you meet with love and respect, for you know not when these Angels will transform into a human to give you tests of life and faith. They will appear in your dreams to teach you lessons to further your spiritual career.

In the afterlife, you will meet face-to-face with your Guardian Angel. They are always with you, except your physical eyes are not capable of seeing them, similar to all Spiritual Beings. Fear nothing in life. You have so many Heavenly beings looking after you. God is inside of you, and God is outside of you.

Namaste, Sled. It's been a long time. Glad to see you are still here on ATS, my sister. In addition to my description of the Guardian Angel, when you are highly spiritual and have reached great levels of life mastery, your Higher Self (Divine Spirit of God) will replace your Guardian Angel into a higher being called the Guardian of Destiny. Their job is to show you the final steps to elevate your Soul to the next level of existence. Guardians of Destiny are assigned to you personally, where Guardian Angels or Seraphims are assigned to 100 - 200 people at the same time.

I wish everybody in this thread with God's Great Peace and Love.

Yes, it was. I forget exactly where it's located, but it's in there. I read it.

There you are Ctophil!!! I've been thinking about you! It's so good to see you are still with us. You should see the big grin on my face right now. It's like seeing a long lost friend again.
Usually when I start having thoughts of someone, it isn't long until they show up. Now, here you are.

I find your words so uplifting, and your message is truly inspiring.

Greetings and Namaste, Sled. The feeling is mutual because you are my sister. We all came from the same Source; therefore, our Love as One is beyond measure.

I have recently written a thread in the Religion, Faith, and Theology forum to answer some of the most common questions about religion and spirituality in the minds of all people. It is called God Questions and Answers. There is a section at the end about the "Paranormal," yet the whole thread is beneficial to everybody. You can read it here: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Oh that looks awesome! Thank you for sharing the link here.
I'll have to look at it more tonight or tomorrow. This is a very busy day for me, but I will definitely read it.

Star/Flagged and Bookmarked!
