I have had a lifetime of such experiences:
1. grew up in haunted house in Ct, numerous events, mixed
2. bought a haunted house in Ct, numerous events, not bad
3. bought a haunted house in Maine, numerous events... bad... 1st 2 weeks I was in town I was told by 2 different people "Oh, you bought that haunted house"... it had a well known rep
4. numerous premonitions, prophetic dreams 50% have come to pass, hope I don't live to see some others... some occured within a couple of weeks, one striking prophetic dream was realized 15years after the dream...
5. at 17 a disembodied vice said "put your seatbelt on" just before my friend hit a telephone pole
6. numerous ufo sightings, some were just balls of light, one classic saucer, others
7. 2 known lost-time incidents (1 abt age 12, one abt age 18)
8. 2 night-terror attacks
there is more but that's enough for now

Okay so there is no way to prove this....
Today, on FB (the evil one) I received a post. It was shared from my Sister in Law who died a few weeks ago.
When it shared I just happened to be on my husband's page. We were doing some online trading. Anyway, it came and at the exact moment the desk lamp began to flicker, then the overhead with the ceiling fan did the same thing. It popped though as well. I called for my husband and he came and sat on the bed. I shared the post back to her page, and the ceiling fan light flickered again and he felt chills and got cold all over his body. I had sent her a PM after she died saying when she got settled in to let me know.
Now, we don't believe that people go on FB after they die but, she was sort of a recluse and it was the way she communicated with folks. I wonder if the electricity theory and all isn't somewhat valid....anyway I believe it was her...
I could feel the hate from the people in my city, but it went beyond that, to south-east Asia; (btw all these places are closer to Perth than the other Australian cities) Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia... then I felt the earth move.
It snapped me out of that "trance" state and I wasnt really sure what happened. Later that night I saw the news:
2004 Boxing Day Tsunami
Lets just pass it off a psychotic episode that corresponded with a earthquake/tsunami, because this is too far out even for me to get my head around...

I just started on this thread (at page 3) and I think I should contribute one of my own stories, because I dont consider myself a becon of paranormal I have seen some weird S###. This one is one I have never told anyone about due to the possibility it would be considered a symptom of a mental health issue...
I was laying in bed one afternoon, when this blue orb materialised and fused with my mind, it was asking me strange questions but it wasnt letting me answer them, it was just reading my memory. This was happening so fast and I started shaking all over. I asked it who/what it was and it gave me the idea (communicated with ideas, not telepathically like I have experienced before) that is was an alien, I asked it why it was here and it gave me the idea it wanted meat... EEK!!
It convinced me that was not what it meant and that it wasnt going to eat me, and I gave it the directions to the local butcher. It again communicated that this was not what it wanted so I thought about the closest cows to my home (at the vet school at my university) and it was pleased with that and left.
I have not communicated with that entity again as far as I know.
I have more odd experiences, but I want to get back to reading the thread...

The house I grew up in was haunted, our whole family knew this, even extended family that would stay over and some friends that knew us for a long time.
This ghost never did anything to terrorise us, and nobody actually ever saw him we only heard and smelled him; however we determined it was the father or grandfather of the previous owners. This was concluded by the rich tobacco smell that accompanied him. None of us smoked in the house we were never allowed to, because my mother being the only non smoker forbade it and threw tantrums whenever we did.... I digress
But his tobacco had a distinct smell, not like the styves me and my sister smoked and certainly not like the camel straights my dad smoked (and not like T&C violations tobacco either), it was more like pipe tobacco. It wasnt just in the house we could smell his tobacco, in the yard under the grapevine was another spot where it could be smelled.
Hearing him was the most common, he would walk down the hall from the bathroom and into the main part of the house, clear footsteps on the wooden floorboards could be heard.
Because of the previous owners failing to give their new address to their friends, family and officials, we often received mail from Italy for them, so we knew from corroborating the postmarks what town in northern Italy the family were from. Perhaps it was our own northern Italian ancestry that made him comfortable to share his home with, or maybe its just he was a laid back guy, but living for 20 odd years with a ghost meant that I wasnt sacred of them--then.
There were other odd things in that house, like what we said to be a "portal" in our laundry. The laundry was in the centre of the house, behind the kitchen and with no external walls, and only one door to enter it. We would often find small animals in the laundry: A bat, a few cats and kittens on different occasions (not ours or any of the neighbours that we could locate), a tame pet rat that we kept as a pet because it clearly was someone's pet and not just a normal brown rat, a rabbit. Aside from the rabbit and the bat which were black, the other animals were all black and white. I dont know if that is relevant. They were also all found in the sink, just sitting there not seeming to be particularly concerned they were in our laundry sink.
There was a couple of instances where there was "devil voice" coming out of my non turned on stereo, but old amps do that.
Things going missing and re-appearing in obvious places--like sitting on an empty dining table were regular occurrences and we were never sure if it was our ghost or something else (my mum said gnomes did the misplacing of objects, but she is a #ing idiot and the most insane of all of us). Honestly I had a lot of kleptomaniac friends so I would sometimes think it them responsible.
Just as I am writing this, I have had a strange realisation... I think my ghost my have followed us to this place. I often hear footsteps on the gravel out the front, slow shuffling old man steps. I thought it might have been the neighbour getting some air, but I went outside once to go see and there was nobody there or anywhere to be seen. These footsteps happen all times of the night any-time between sunrise and sunset. If it is him I wonder if he chose to follow us here or if it wasnt his choice... I'd do a lot to know that answer.
Im not going to post any-more now as to not flood the thread. I'm still in its early pages...
ETA: It once rained frogs on our street and I wanted to keep one as a pet in an old aquarium, it jumped out of the aquarium once and into the laundry and was never located again...

Thanks for the reply.
I thought it might have something to do with cattle mutilations, and its at a vet school so its going to have the ability to see lots of animal mutilations!. I will ask a friends who were on that side of campus back then and find out if anything like that happened. I had avoided topics like this on campus for a while because... credibility. Now I am a Laws academic those scientists can get fkd!
I actually dont think it was hungry, I think it wanted a physical body to inhabit while it was here?. The weird thins is it "took" me to the butcher shop and then to the vet school, kind of like astral travelling.

Your NDE was fantastic! I'm not familiar with the book you mentioned, but I am familiar with Ra; I just started reading up on it last year. I'll have to dig a little deeper into this before I could make an educated comment.
The 3 of us were sitting on a log in a park next to the school in the early evening. We could see the shadow of a jogger coming up the street and even saw the jogger as he was running past the white wall of the school. But then he vanished!, like right in front of us and we all saw it and said the exact same thing WTF??
The jogger did look like a 1970's athlete, but in that part of town in the 1990's its not that much of a stretch to see someone in 70's jogging gear... but then to NOT see them.
