Has Anyone Had More Than One Type of Paranormal Experience?

There is recent talk in ghost hunting circles that some people who are experiencing hauntings are actually experiencing abduction. It is seen by some as demonic instead of alien.

UFO/abduction experience and haunting seem to run more frequently in family lines as well.

I think this may be true in some cases, but not all. I do believe there are human earthbound spirits among us, as well as aliens lurking about. But you are correct. Where you find one case, you usually find the other. At least this is true in my personal experiences.
Thanks for your input.

CASE OF THE MISSING APPLESAUCE!

Okay... this "thing" is still taking my food!
When I got up today I put some biscuits in the oven to have with some applesauce. I KNEW I had a new jar in the fridge; I used a small amount of it last week.

So when the biscuits were ready I opened the door on the refrigerator, and ...... WHERE'S THE APPLE SAUCE?!
I moved everything around hunting it... not there. I went to the cupboard.... not there. Went back and did a second look in the fridge, and a third. NOT THERE!

I asked my husband if he had had it out? NO. My daughter? NO Hummmm..............

So, I just came back from the grocery store and opened the refrigerator to put some things in, and..........
THERE IS THE APPLESAUCE on the top shelf..... right in front of everything!

I'm not losing my mind, people! The applesauce wasn't there earlier!

WTH???!!!! This is beginning to freak me out!

Sounds like my daughters thirsty ghost. She would have a cup of something and then half would be gone, and she swears she didn't drink it. It happened for about 2 weeks then it stopped.
But she called it the thirsty ghost.

Apparently we aren't the only ones with a thirsty or hungry ghost. There was a thread on here a couple of months (or longer) ago about this, and there were a lot of people saying they had food taken.
What in the world would they want with food or drink? They can't eat or drink it!

I can picture it now..... ghost turns up glass of liquid, and it goes straight through them! Must be such a disappointment for them!

If I have any "cruisers" stopping by the thread, I sure would appreciate a couple more flags to get me to 70.
Seven is one of my lucky numbers.

To keep this post on topic, I'll tell you a short and sweet thing that happened last night at work.

As I was sitting at my desk something yanked on my shirt really hard. So hard that I jumped and turned around to see if someone had snuck up behind me. No one was there.

The light still flickers in the room beside me, but only during the wee morning hours ( 3:00-5:00).
If this is the bulb burning out, how long do they flicker before they blow?! This has been going on for over a month!
AND only during the hours I mentioned, at least when I'm there.
The shower hasn't come on by itself in a week or so, though.

Thanks to whomever gave me another flag. One more to hit 70! Yea! My lucky number!

My cousin just called... the one I've talked about on here so much to tell me something that happened to her last night. She is also the one I posted a picture of a ghost standing in her yard previously in the thread.

She lives in the country, and her driveway to the main road is quite long. She was walking to her mailbox last night after dark carrying a flashlight to see the road. She said once she reached the highway, before crossing the road to her mailbox, she heard a disturbance in the bushes next to where she was standing.
She didn't give it much thought since there are plenty of rabbits and small wildlife around her, so she proceeded across the road to the mailbox.

Once she got to it, she said she heard loud footsteps hitting the pavement coming toward her very quickly. It sounded like something wearing shoes taking small, quick steps.
She immediately turned around to shine her light in the direction of the sound, and just as she did this her light went out!
There was a car approaching in the distance with headlights to give just enough light from where she stood so that she could see it was not a person, or an animal. Nothing was there that she could see!
She said the most uncomfortable feeling came over her, and she ran back across the road to her driveway before the car reached her, using the lights from the car to see the road.
When she started up the hill of her driveway her flashlight came back on. WTH?
She then quickly proceeded to her house!
She was still unnerved about this today when she called me.

That's creepy.


I had an odd experience a few nights ago when I was answering a thread here on unscrambling an Ouija message, but it could of just been my head messing with me.
I got this image of some sort of being reading what I was reading with great interest. Like it was pulling itself through me to read the post. Even got a look in my mind of its head shape. Was very strange, and rather dark feeling....
Might do a painting of it or drawing of it one of these days.
I swear something was really interested in that message.
Creeped me out.

Go pull out the paint supplies NOW before you forget about it! I want to see this thing!
That would freak me out too!
Thanks for sharing.

WOW! What an odd-looking creature!

Thanks for taking time to draw that. Great job!

I have had many experiences (some were previously posted here on ATS) But last night something weird happened to me while meditating...here goes:

I was laying in bed with headphones on listenning to a Shamanic Drumming CD as I have been trying really hard to go on my very first journey...still not there yet but I got "something" for the first time yesterday. I always use an eye cushion that I place ....well on my eyes... this is because I keep openning my eyes unintentionally while meditating ruining my concentration..

Anywho...As I was in a relaxed state (about 10-15 minutes in), I started seeing sort of a dim light everywhere aroung me (in my head obviously), this itself was a first for me...then There were shadows passing in from of me like a bunch in a row or one going around me in circles (just like when you close your eyes in daylight and someone stands in front of you.. you can tell someone is there right?) that lasted a few minutes and then my left arm went numb from shoulder to fingertips....that was quite uncomfortable I must say, and a bit scary as I never felt that before. I sat up to see if I had a bruise/mark/cut or something and there was nothing there. I move my arm around too get the blood flowing and it went away.

Then I put my headphones back on and started over. Exact same thing happenned in the same order. I lasted it out for approx 30 minutes and then put my things away as I couldnt concentrate with that weird sensation. a minute later all was back to normal.

For the record, my kids were sound asleep , my wife was out to the gym and my 2 cats and dog were downstairs. Oh and I had my eye cushion on my eyes with the door/light closed. Roon was pitch balck basically.

This was not the forst time something was weird about my left arm though...a few months ago, I was having dinner with my family and out of nowhere, my left hand started shaking pretty hard and I couldn't stop/control it.

I have asked around about the shaking part and I was told that it could be automatic writing that had activated...only problem is, I am right haded and I have never ever used my left to write.

Would this count as paranormal to you all, as I don't have an answer for these events.

Great thread OP, I just gave you your 70 th Flag, grats

I would suggest a visit to your family doc, just in case. Probably nothing medically, but I believe numbness and tingling in the left arm might indicate heart trouble. Don't want to worry you, but ruling out a physical reason might take you one step closer to discovering what happened.

reply to post by Teye22


Thanks for the flag, Teye22. Yea! I reached my lucky number on my first thread!

I'm so happy you came back to share your experience with us.
I think you are probably getting the "block" from entering an OBE like a lot of other people talk about.
In your case it was seeing shadows, and the tingling sensation in your left arm.
But, as Smyleegrl pointed out, anything dealing with the left arm needs to be checked out by a doctor. You could have some blockage in an artery, or something. Better safe than sorry. The body will start early warning signs, if we pay attention to it.
If not blockage of an artery, then I would say blockage from the spiritual realm.

I kept getting blocked when trying to have an OBE by hearing a very loud BANG! It would make me jump so bad that I would come out of my relaxed state. Then I had a medium on ATS tell me to stop trying because "this wasn't my calling, and I could injure my mind." So I stopped.

As for the automatic writing, it doesn't matter which hand you use. As a matter of fact, it seems I remember reading somewhere that the person should use the hand they don't favor. I just woke up, so I'm not sure if I read that, or not. It just seems to "ring a bell" with me. If you are near paper and pen, and this happens again, try it and see if spirit writes anything. Let us know, please.

Thanks again for sharing with us.

I've never heard that, Sled, but I may give it a try. I've never tried automatic writing, per se, but I've been thinking about it. So far everything has come through me normally, but just not my own thoughts, words or phrases. I was thinking about the previous poster's comment on being right handed and his left hand is the one that seems to be gettign excited... it could be a left-handed entity, and it would be normal for him to activate that hand if he's trying to communicate.

I tried closing my eyes and letting my hand wander on the paper once. I had asked my guides if I would ever have any peace in my life again (I was going through a terrible time last year losing my house), and the scribble I did looked a lot like "what did you say back in January." I dug out my notebook from that time, and right there for January 1, I had written about working on removing my own blocks to my success, and making a serious attempt to return to my writing as a career, not just a hobby. It kind of floored me, because I certainly hadn't been doing that. Looking back on it, it's funny because now I can imagine my guide standing there, arms folded, tapping one foot and saying WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE WORK???

Hi Sled735...I just had to. Respond, I mean.

And yes, I have read through the entire thread and hope it continues on and I think it will for one reason: we have all experienced something weird at some point in our lives. And most of us hesitate to tell for fear of ridicule and worse.

I have had several encounters, but will just start with this small story.

Many moons ago, I rented the basement of a heritage house...an elegant home of two full floors, an attic and basement. The upper floors had been refurbished to their former glory, but my space was still old: fully finished, but no one would ever believe the luxury one floor above, for this was a typical basement suite.

The first thing I noticed is that my cat who always sat near or beside me, kept staring at something down the hallway. No matter how I tried to distract her, no go...she would jump away from me just to go back to staring at something I could not see...but I knew something was not straight for I had had her several years and this was not her behaviour.
That in and of itself was nothing, but not long afterward, I was woken up by the WORST stink in all of your collective imaginations. I mean, it was baaad. By the way, this naturally all happened in the dead of night - the smell was so strong it actually woke me up. So I went from bucket to bin to bucket to bin and even stuck my freakin' head in but found no smell. None. Well, aside from the usual garbage smells.

By the time I had completed my tour and got back to the bedroom, that stink was gone. And I mean gone: it was the air of the alpines in there. And how the heck had that happened? The suite was like 9.4 feet long and had tiny windows that wouldn't open, so where did this miraculous 'breeze' come from? I wasn't frightened or anything - at the time, I just thought these things odd and forgot about them, although my cat continued to stare down the hall. Sometimes with her dander up....

Ok, on with the story. This part needs a brief intro: oddly enough, the largest part of the entire suite was the bedroom, which featured a brick base covering a large section of the wall: the base for the upper fireplaces. I thought it would make a cool headboard, so that is where my bed was. One night, I again woke abruptly, this time when my head made a rather intense contact with those bricks and let me tell you, it hurt. First I thought it was my cat jumping onto the bed (uh huh - all of 6 pounds against a Queen size double-decker) - don't think so. Now this time, I was a bit freaked. After experimenting myself, I found the most likely cause would have had to be a good shove from the bottom of the bed up into the 'headboard'. Although I already knew no one was in the suite and the only entry would have been from the laundry room, which was locked from the inside...well, I went back to bed. Didn't sleep much, though, for a few nights after that.

One sunny Saturday morning, I was standing at my kitchen sink washing dishes when someone snuck up behind me and 'clapped' me on the shoulders (like a pal would) and a million thoughts went through my mind, the top ones being 'it's my boyfriend but he doesn't have a key and I know the door is locked anyway' and in that fragment of time, I had turned with a welcoming smile on my face, fully prepared to give my boyfriend heck for scaring the living daylights outta me - and, yup. No one there. And that scared me.

I called my friend down the street and she came running right outta the bath (complete with face cream, towel on her head, bathrobe and slippers down the back alley - it was so funny and so loving at the same time) - all I had said or was able to over the phone was that I needed her. And the first thing she said to me?

"You look like you've seen a ghost!" I kid you not. Dead on - but I mean, really - she kinda looked like one herself what with being white from head to toe lol. Needless to say, I stayed with her for a few days and then started investigating the background of this gorgeous place. Turned out it was hand-built by a Frenchman who had come ahead of his new bride to prepare a stately home for her but that she died before he could complete it and bring her home.

He had committed suicide in the basement of the building (more likely drank himself to death) - on my half. I learned this from the elderly landlady who ran the place, but she had no names...it was before her time (and she been there for decades) but she knew what I was talking about before I even got halfway through the story. She likely knew even before that, since previous tenants had complained about weird occurences there, too.

I had a conversation with my 'ghost' about not scaring me and my kitty and I was cool with it if he was. I had no trouble after that and moved shortly thereafter.

So there, I've shared. :-) Namaste.

I had thought of that but I am a really healthy person and am only 32. no history of hearrt trouble at all in the family so I would seriously doubt that. I had a full medical a few months back and all was perfect. If it should start happenning more often i will definitely look into it more deeply though

Thanks for your positive comment on the thread, GreenIrish.
I'm curious... how long did it take you to read the entire thing, and what stories, or topics, did you find the most interesting?

I appreciate you sharing your story with us. That was cool, but scary!
Sad about the man losing his bride and taking his life though.
I'm happy you found another place. He apparently didn't want any other woman occupying the house he built for her.
BTW, you are a good writer. I like your style.
Thanks again.

yes i communicated telepathically with a black cat!

WOW! How cool is that?!!!!

Arnolac told me I could do automatic writing, but I haven't tried it yet. Don't ever get a chance to practice until the wee hours of night on my nights off work. Then I feel to tired to try it. I do want to give it a go someday though.

Thanks for sharing that, Scribe! Very interesting!

And what did you all talk about?

I have several cats. I think sometimes I do this as well. Or I could just be reading their facial expressions.
