Has Anyone Had More Than One Type of Paranormal Experience?

Omg. I just woke up to something touching me on my shoulder at my girlfriends house. It felt like "Wake up!" There is no-one here but me.

Are you okay Prowler?
Was there some reason you needed to wake up, but over-slept?
Could it have been a dream? Dreams do feel really real sometimes. Not doubting your story, just looking for logical answers first.

The only other explanation would be that someone there wanted you to get out of bed. If it's an older person (ghost) they probably don't like people sleeping late. I know my grandparents thought it was terrible to not get up at the crack of dawn and get busy with their day.

Ghosts are still stuck in the frame of mind and sometimes the same time period as they were when they died. So, maybe this ghost thought you were being lazy and wanted you to get up.

Doing fine my friend! There was no reason for me to wake up at 7:00 Am. The bed was moved to the other side of the room a couple of nights before. Maybe that pissed off the ghost

Happy Halloween!
On Saturday night I saw an angel, a witch, a green troll, Luke Skywalker and a hot Princess Leia , and a dead clown among many other costumes.

Not exactly paranormal except for the feeling someone or something came home with me. I've been feeling reasonably well since then so If someone came home with me, I haven't noticed an issue.

My Friend in the Bathroom

This is an experience I have never told anyone about, it was back in 1977 and I still recall it like it was yesterday.

I was seven years old and lived with Mum, Dad, 3 Brothers and a Sister. Us kids played outside mostly, and we were early to bed and early to rise. Mum and Dad both worked hard and were usually early to bed as well.

One night when everyone was asleep I lay awake - unable to sleep. I have no idea why, but I was compelled to go sit in the bathroom, and play with the bath toys. Like many kids we had a variety of toys that would make bath-time more fun, I gathered some plastic army men, tanks and jeeps and began organising them into opposing forces.

The bathroom lights were still off and I was sitting in the narrow beam of light that came into the bathroom doorway via the hallway lights. It was a large bathroom/toilet and at the opposite end there was a small sliding window above the sink that was partially open.

I sat there playing when I noticed out of the corner of my eye, something entering through that small opening in the window. It was an Arm. This arm was pure white, it had no real shape, no forearm, no biceps, almost like an inflatable arm. This arm moved in a slow snakelike fashion towards me, still coming through the window it got longer and longer. As I mentioned earlier it was a large bathroom and this arm would have been 4 Metres in length - coming from outside the bathroom window to where I sat.

I wasn't afraid, it was weird but I had a voice in my head telling me that everything was alright. The entity from outside stretched its arm all the way to where I was siting, and began playing with the the plastic soldiers, tanks and jeeps.

This entity was somehow putting my mind at ease and working up my trust?

We sat there playing for a while, no fear, no problems. A little while later it let go of its toys and placed its hand on my shoulder - my mind became confused as I felt fear for the first time. It let go of my shoulder and grabbed hold of my wrist, giving it a slight tug before letting it go and signally for me to come outside.


This is where the blood all drained from my head and I felt extreme terror, I could now feel the Evil of this..... thing? From the bathroom doorway where I was playing I looked over to the door that led to the backyard, it was the 1970s - that door was never locked. I shot out of there like there was no tomorrow, straight to the bedroom where my brothers and sister were sleeping - I had broken out of the trance the entity had me in.

I Lay there in fear for quite some time now that reality had caught up with me. In the morning I peeked into the bathroom and the toys were in the same place, It was no dream.

I often wondered why this entity just didn't enter the house and take me as my family was asleep. I have come to the conclusion that I couldn't be taken against my will, I had to approve, that's why my mind was somewhat put at ease before this evil entity tried to lure me away with my full approval.

I have had two other Paranormal Experiences, one involved a girl in the park.

I will write that one later.

I'm looking forward to hear about the girl in the park.

I've never seen a long ghostly arm and I'm not sure if I would sit calmly as the arm approached me. Thanks for posting. Your stories sound interesting.

Welcome to the thread Now2016.

Loved your story, and the visual aids made it even spookier.

That sounds like an ET to me, however, I have learned a lot about technology that the military used back then (and still do). It involved holograms and mind control. They can actually get inside our head and make us think whatever they wish... as in communicating with us using cell towers and other things.

But you said it grabbed your arm, so I don't think a hologram could do that. Yep, most likely an ET.
I'm glad you got away.

Waiting to hear your next story. Thanks for sharing with us.

This happened last month, I was dating a new girl and I had spent the night at her house only a few times before this happened. I was asleep and was having a dream that someone was holding me from behind, in my dream I looked down on myself from above and could see that it wasn't the girl I was in bed with, but was a female demon (or what I believed to be in my dream) I wasn't scared or panicky in my dream, I just layed still and accepted that I would have to wait until she let me go. Shortly after this I woke up and sat up, my heart racing trying to calm down from the dream. about fifteen seconds later the door just slowly creaked open, I freaked out a little and was like WTF is going on. It is completely plausible that the cat pushed the door opened, but there a night light outside the door and I didn't see the cat in the doorway, and I didn't understand how he could open the door in the first place, as I was positive that I latched the door fully before going to bed because I hate when he jumps on the bed and brings us bugs in the night. Either way that ended the happenings for that night.

A few nights later I was standing in the bedroom next to the girl talking about this scenario I just described and joking that she was being haunted or followed. My hairs kind of stood up because I was creeped out from talking about it. Suddenly with no warning a small cardboard box fell off her dresser and onto the floor about 5 feet away from me. The noise came from behind me and I was like "WTF" again, the girl was in the closet and she also stopped what she was doing said said "...what was that" I told her what happened and she was a little freaked out as well. since then nothing has happened.

Welcome to the thread Kittor.

There could be logical explanations for the timing of things, but if you want to explore the paranormal side, it sounds like there might be an evil spirit in the house, and it doesn't like you sleeping with your girlfriend.

It might be an older person who's religious beliefs in life did not accept sleeping together before marriage. And if this house used to belong to that person, then they aren't happy with what's going on now and they're trying to scare you away.

How long has your girlfriend lived there, and has she experienced anything paranormal before this?

I always see this thread on ATS and think "I should really pop in and tell some of my tales"...there's just so many to pick from it's hard to decide which one to tell.

My life has been riddled with paranormal and doppelganger stuff (see my post under latest doppelgänger thread )of all kinds.... I sometimes think some people are either more open to it or maybe just more sensitive....Strangely it might have something to do with ALWAYS ending up living next to cemeteries and loving to play in one that was in our back yard as child .. I never was afraid and always felt protected some how.
Here's but a few shortened stories I will relate.

I've got stories I could tell you ranging from everything like the "PLAID shirt guy " who use to stand in the hallway staring in at me.. Then when I mentioned it to my new husband..who then said "That's weird my first wife had a physic friend over here a long time ago and she said the same exact thing. So Plaid guy was here long before I came to live here.Sounds silly, but being kind of use to ghosts around me,I got sick of him just standing there staring at me every minute of the day and asked him if he'd at least mind going down stairs and hang around instead.
He was very obliging but would then squeak the swinging bar room saloon doors down there back and forth constantly (we have western style bar filled with antiques>>>notice my screen name) So I finally said O.K, O.K. come back up but at least be invisible...I think he liked the dogs because they'd be in the hallway reacting and wagging their tails looking up at something after that all the time. This house is surrounded on both sides with 2 cemeteries. I sometimes think many spirits just get bored and like to hang around where life is happening .

Next story...As a young night working bartender, living with my cats in an old farm house. The cats always did this strange thing of only walking on the outer edges of the staircase to upstairs> never in the middle> muddy foot prints on sides, clean white in the middle.Sometimes at night I would hear banging around upstairs and find all the cats right there with me >no explanation for noise.
I came home at about 4:00 in the morning, just as the guy across the street was starting his car to go to work.I'd wave good morning and then go in to bed.
I had just closed my eyes while listening to the neighbor slam his car doors,when one of my cats starting pawing my face to get up and feed them. Then I heard a gentle half whispered female voice say "No No leave her alone she's tired and needs her sleep" I was defiantly still awake as it happened quickly after I laid down..I freaked, opened my eyes to see the cat pawing thin air above me. I jumped up and went to sleep downstairs after that.That Sunday at dinner with my parents I related this tale...my father gave my mother a weird look and it made me press him for info. He told me the owner (a friend of my dad's) of the house's daughter committed suicide in that bedroom after a fight with her father. My father and I always had a stormy relationship too
Years later I am standing behind the bar on Halloween regaling my customers with this scary story that happened to me.
What happened next flabbergasted me...One of the waitresses was leaning in the doorway listening, then said to my disbelieving, scoffing audience "She's right, I went to school with that girl and that's exactly what happened.
>>kindred spirits sympathizing with me perhaps ??

One time we were up in the Adirondack mountains at the Great Camp Sagamore (famous for being one of the few last great camps that still exits built for the summering 1800's wealthy elite) We were touring the building when I needed to use the bathroom....lots of doors later I still couldn't find the bathroom and stomped madly complaining towards my husband where he waited for me. So as I started swearing saying "I wish I could find someone to show me the f#cking way..a door to my right swings open on it's own...(my husband just smiled 'cause he's now use to weird stuff happening around me)
I cautiously walked in expecting someone inside had actually opened it upon hearing me swearing. EMPTY...I said "Thank You" to thin air and laughed saying "Now don't you peek,O.K." and received 3 knocks as answer back. I walked out saying goodbye and purposely left the door open..turned to my husband who was making a face..and heard the door slam shut.
I peeked back inside and "hello ?"..nothing.."I said well O.K. take care to the bathroom" so silly I know.

Same thing happened one weekend while touring Bolt Castle (castle wealthy Mr.Bolt built of love for wife who died before it was completed then abandoned)...there were tons of visitors milling around in different rooms... I went up by my self to a bedroom in the un-remodeled part of the castle and just stood there looking out at the water, when a feeling of cold feminine loneliness sort of froze me in place. Finally my husband came and found me so we could leave the island. On our way down the outside stairs a cleaning staff woman asked for a light for a cigarette. I stopped and had one with her and asked if she had ever heard of the place being haunted...She reluctantly nodded her head as I pumped her for more info. She said they didn't like the staff to talk about it.....I pushed and asked where people saw the ghosts ..she refused to say..I mentioned perhaps it was that upstairs bedroom and her eyes got big she said in rush my god yes, did you see it...I said you mean "HER" ....that's all it took for the staff lady to go on and on about sightings.

Welcome to the thread SaloonSal. Glad you finally decided to share with us.

Awesome stories!

I'll have to check our your doppelgänger thread when I have more time.
I've had several members post in this thread about that phenomenon. Interesting!

The "plaid shirt guy " story was great, and only goes to show how they wish to be acknowledged. I'm sure lots of "ghosts" get lonesome when people continue to ignore their presence/existence.
Not all ghosts/spirits are bad or evil; they are still who they always were, only without a physical body.

The story about the girl who committed suicide in the bedroom was another great one! I think you can take comfort knowing she was a "good soul" and had your best interest at heart.

I cautiously walked in expecting someone inside had actually opened it upon hearing me swearing. EMPTY...I said "Thank You" to thin air and laughed saying "Now don't you peek,O.K." and received 3 knocks as answer back.

Hmmm.... I'm not so sure about this one. It was all good until you said it acknowledged with three knocks. Three knocks, three scratches, three of ANYTHING coming from the spirit world is believed to be from a demonic source, from what I've heard. May be true... or not. But, if that had happened to me, I would have turned and ran the other way!

Your experience at Bolt Castle was interesting. You are apparently highly sensitive to the spirit world, so you could have been picking up on some residual energy that was left when this young lady lived there.
It's very sad to think some people get stuck experiencing such a state of depression until the angels, or a loved one on the other side, finds them and helps them cross over.
I hope she has found her way over.

Thank you so much for dropping in and sharing with us.

Nice stories everyone! It is getting dark and I am feeling pretty scared and hungover but I am going to see how the toiler paper ghost is doing. Maybe I will light some candles and ask it some questions and wait for it to answer with some knocks

youtu.be...

Well, this is a house where old people die very often. My videos are all staged but I got the idea for a video when I saw the toilet paper reaching up for me. It looked something like this but is was much more scary: www.instagram.com...

There was a time when I felt like being watched and I did not want to spend time at home alone.

The feeling made me tear up all Motörhead and Iron Maiden wall flags away and everything that had skulls and stuff in them.

Thanks! ill share some of the stories my friends have told me, I love to hear about their experiences and I ask just about everyone I know to share.

a reply to: Kittor

Please do... we'll be waiting.

I'll post this little tid bit.

On Thanksgiving day I felt a presence in the bathroom, so I asked if any or my family was there and the light above the mirror started blinking. I took that as a Yes, so I said Happy Thanksgiving and asked them to step out so I could take my shower. LOL

Later that night, my SIL dropped his ring in the kitchen and searched for almost an hour, and still never found it.
I picked up a pair of shoes my daughter had sitting there and turned them upside down and shook them, but no ring dropped out.

Later, she came in and put her shoes on, only to take them off because something was hurting her foot.

Yep, his ring was inside her shoe!

I have to think it was her dad trying to get her attention. I told her so. She ignored me.

Oh well, we tried.

Heres a mini story from my friend mike. He told me about this about ten years ago.

He used to live in a large house; the house was a remodeled building that used to be an extra building for the nearby university hospital. The building was repainted and remodeled into apartments, and it hadn't been used as a hospital for decades. When it was in use it housed mental patients (I know that sounds too perfect to be true but its what I was told).

I am not sure mike would make the story up, as he had never talked about paranormal experiences until I asked him, and he never fabricated stories about anything else. So heres what he told me.

He had just moved into the place, and he noticed weird things would happen, the faucet would turn on, or the electricity would cut out, this was not too weird, but after he moved out and he added everything together he said it might have been part of it.

All the main activity happened on the same night. He was home alone, and things started to happen, the microwave turned on, and the water would start running. He dismissed this as the house being old, until the microwave turned on and he unplugged it, and it kept going. For some reason he decided to ignore the microwave, and im sure that it turned off eventually, but he went into the shower. While he was in the shower a bottle of shampoo fell off the ledge, and he picked it up, it fell again. He set it on a ledge where it would not fall, the bottle flew up from the ledge and hit him, then fell on the floor. This was the last straw, my friend lost his nerve and got dressed and ran out of the house. He said he wouldn't go back in until his friends showed up to help him move out.

Heres another story that happened to me just last night, and might have really been nothing but it still spooked me.

I work overnight in a hospital, sounds like the perfect setup for a horror movie, but its really not scary at all. For some reason as I was walking around on the 4th floor last night I just had the hairs raise on my neck, and felt hypersensitive to my surroundings. I dismissed it and kept walking around, eventually I went into the bathroom and was using the toilet. Just as I was standing there the toilet flushed, I jumped a little but then realized that its one of those auto toilets so even though I was a little startled I dismissed it. Immediately after the toilet flushed an automatic paper towel dispenser went into action across the room: one of those types that doesn't work unless you walk up to it and wave your hand in front of it, and it was at least 10-15 feet away from me and I hadn't gone near it.

At this point I was like "NOPE" and I flung the door open and headed straight down to the main office where I hung out for the rest of the night. A little while after I got into the office I found out that we just had a patient die on the floor above me.

She has only lived there a few months, but its a brand new apartment complex, so I don't think it has anything to do with the place. I think if it is anything paranormal it must be attached to her or me... however I would like to mention nothing has happened since.
