My grandfather died at the beginning of the year. He used to stay downstairs watching TV until about 2AM while my grandmother was asleep upstairs. He was a heavy man.
My grandmother told me that she feels his weight shift on the bed around this time and it wakes her up--she wakes up thinking her husband is coming to lie down for bed. Of course, he's been gone over 6 months now. She swears she can feel the weight of him crawling into bed and waking her up.
I, myself, feel a bit of a shaking, rumbling sometimes in the my bed in the middle of the night that wakes me up (no jokes, please. I'm serious.) I sometimes wonder if it's a small earthquake or something. But it happens quite often. At least a couple of times a month with no reported quakes big enough to shake me awake.
Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Condolences.
But your story makes me wonder if we really do leave earth upon death.
Or if at least, our energy stays behind.
Energy with gravity?
Interesting thought!
Is it possible that our "soul" leaves to the unknown.... But maybe the things we did on a daily basis stay. -Our energy of doing that stays behind and continues to do so until it dies out. Couldn't that explain hauntings as well?
-For instance, hauntings usually consist of a few things no? Such as doors opening and knocking. In any "haunted house" (example) these are the only things that happen. In another "haunted house" maybe lights flick on and off....
Could this just be the left over energy from the deceased that use to stay or hang out there?

thanks OP, the cuts usually appear when i am fully awake in the daytime, im not sure if it links into these experiences but i have started to notice that dogs and cats are drawn to me, i had a dog that i was VERY connected too but he died in 2010, i have'nt kept a pet since, there is a dog that lives opposite me and she barks at everything/anyone but when she sees me she is quiet as a mouse! i have always been a 'dog person' i dont really enjoy the company of cats as i am allergic to their fur etc..but,on more than one occasion i have been startled to see a cat sitting on the windowsill outside and peering in at me! i live in a block of flats (apartments) that is only acessed to the inside by a concierge type key fob, a few months ago me and my daughter heard meowing, i opened my door to find a cat! none of my neighbours have any cats.
I know some sceptics will read this thread and think we are crazy or on medication blah blah blah but i am a real person experiencing very odd things, i know what is real and what is not!

It's a succubus, she's trying to suck on you while you're sleeping!

I have had more than enough to determine that what ever joins me on my bed is good
, and no longer scares me. Sometimes it just feels like some one is just being their for me, just watching.

Yes, I have, but I think it's likely just an artifact of your nervous system that can occur when falling to sleep or awakening. Similar to pins & needles when you accidentally cut off blood flow of an arm, leg or hand then restore it.
Though I don't completely discount the possibility of inter dimensional entities or just those who have the ability to absorb all light or cause it to slip around them.
I just remembered that I have a reoccurring visitor lately. I have a heart problem and I'm not supposed to sleep on my stomach with my weight on it, but sometimes I just need to for a short period. Once I fell asleep on my stomach and I was awakened by feeling a hand grabbing at my lower legs and try to lift up. Of course I turned over and looked all around not to find anybody there and went back to sleep on my back. It happens now from time to time - sometimes I feel some thing and other times it comes into my dream and wakes me. I figured it's something trying to keep me alive, perhaps some kind of guardian angel, a local ghost or that of a passed loved one. Then again it could just be my subconscious doing what it do.edit on 11/15/12 by verylowfrequency because: (no reason given)

I will go your sitting on bed and go one better.
There have been a few times in my life where i have not only
felt someone sit on the bed, but one time it was light enough
to see, and i could actually see the depression in the bed.
Which was quite interesting.
Another was use to have it happen on the couch a lot in a place
i lived in about 10 years ago, usually evening or night, you would
feel like someone just sat down beside you.
So i ordered a EMF meter, thinking let's see what happens.
So off and on i kept checking the area of the couch, and never got
much at all of a reading, one evening i felt it, and had the meter handy
where i didnt have to get up, so i flipped it on and moved it twords the
area i felt was being sat on.. i was picking up a 3.4 on the meter,
normally the needle would not move when i ran it around the couch,
there were no electronics in that area. So for the next half hour i kept
checking the area and the reading was the same, some where around
3.5. The last time i checked, i got no reading at all again..which i
considered to be odd, because a magnetic field can not move unless the
source generating the field moves. So i hopped up and started checking
the living room out, and i found the same reading again, it was a 1 1/2 foot
ball of energy still reading around 3.5 but now it was about a foot from the
ceiling and a foot from the wall and just up and left of the end of the couch.
still cant say what it was or what causes it or how, but i have seen enough
to know there is something going on. Its not all in the mind or a
misunderstanding.

That's strange because thos was happening to my mom a month or so ago. I thought this was going to be a sleep paralysis thread as I have regular SP and sometimes feel like someone is beside my bed and know people that sometimes feel something on them. However that's not what my mom had. She described it exactly like a cat on the bed moving around and it scared her. Has to be an answer. Question OP how big of a bed and where do you sleep on it? She's on one side of a queen size, other side is empty. Weird questions but that's wher you may find correlation and answers.

hey Aelfrede, yes i would be very interested in knowing some methods =) i tried to U2U you yesterday but i can only message mods atm, On top of all the stuff i have mentioned there is so much more to my own personal story that i could add, My home had to be 'exorcised' at one point, in fact every place i have ever lived has had strange phenomena happen. I hope it is an animal spirit trying to contact me and not anything sinister..

PS: my vision has started to get very bad, in my peripheral vision i try not to use that as a focus as i am usually home alone all day and would be frightened so bad if i saw something strange, the haunting that i had here scared the life out of me ! =)

Hi severdsoul,
wow I loved reading your experience with the EMF metre! Also very intriguing with the dip you saw
on the bed. I would find that most disconcerting if I saw that. Although part of me would find it incredibly amazing and mystifying too!
How great to get those readings from the EMF metre. It certainly seems like you were tracking some sort of entity. Is that what you concluded? Have you checked out your current accomodation with the metre? If so, what did you find? Btw, are EMF metres expensive?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Cheers,
Aelf
