For many of us, the thought of being haunted is a little scary and we will do almost anything to convince ourselves that what we hear or see isn’t really happening. It’s not so much that we don’t trust our senses. It’s more of a concern over what others will think of us when we tell our story.
Just last night, as I climbed into bed and got myself comfortable I had a bit of an experience that I pretty much shook off as imagination until I spoke I spoke to my husband this morning.
It began with a strange sound I couldn’t identify. To be honest it sounded like the rapid fluttering of wings, but it only lasted a few seconds and was gone. I called to the cat and got no response. I lay wondering if I should get up and explore the sound when I felt the cat leap onto the foot of the bed. I moved my foot to give her room and looked down to discover there was no cat there. Now, this wouldn’t have struck me as so unusual if it hadn’t happened before ... but it has and it gave me a bit of a start. Still, I was convinced somehow I was imagining it all.
I lay there in silence (with the blankets pulled over my head) and listened. My husband was in the living room watching TV, so I knew I had backup should anything happen.
I began to hear small rustling sounds in the wall at the head of bed. So that was it, a field mouse must have come in from the cold and was hiding out in my wall. I relaxed and vowed to put out some mousetraps. Tiny scratching and what I presumed was gnawing followed.
Suddenly, a rush of sound startled me. Something ran rapidly through the wall. I grew up in an old house where mice in the wall was a nightly occurrence and this was no mouse. It was too big — too loud — and way too fast. Finally, I decided it must be a squirrel. Yes, that was it . A squirrel in the wall. Convinced I had solved the mystery, I went to sleep.
This morning my husband listened as I retold my story. He looked at me and told me that the wall I was talking about had no crawl space and was completely filled with insulation. (He had installed the wall himself when we moved in a year ago.)What makes it worse is that is the same wall I heard the loud scratching in a few weeks ago.
If you are experiencing unusual activity in your home and simply cannot find a logical reason for it, it just might be paranormal. This article describes the types of activities that might indicate the presence of a ghost or spirit in your home. It suggests ways to determine if the cause is paranormal or if there may be other logical explanations. As for me, well, my husband will be exploring the attic later for any signs to explain the cause of the noises I am hearing.
Hey everyone, my name is Jennifer. I’m 13, and I live in Ohio. Ever since I was little, I can feel certain types of energy. Now, I’m not saying I’m a medium, but I am saying the things I feel aren’t normal. For example, I can go in a room. It will feel normal, nothing is bothering me, and suddenly, I’ll get jumpy, or nervous. My muscles will tense up, and I can get sick to my stomach. Sometimes, if I’m alone, I’ll get so frightened I’ll feel the need to run, or cry. Occasionally, if I’m alone, it’s so bad I can’t move. I have to yell for someone to be in the room with me. I know something negative is with me when these things happen. But also, I can feel something positive. I can be horrified from something negative, and suddenly, it just feels like everything bad has been lifted. I get warm, and comfortable. Sometimes even sleepy. And then I’m not scared anymore.
I’ve tried to tell my parents about it. My mom has always been curious about the supernatural and metaphysical, but when I told her this, she doubted me. She told me I needed a psychiatrist, and that I could be schizophrenic, or have an anxiety disorder. I know this isn’t true. I would have asked for help earlier if I thought I had a mental disorder.
So, what I need to know, is what is it I’m feeling? Could it be supernatural? Please, I want your advice. I wanna know if whats going on could be dangerous, or, just, whats going on? ALL input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jennifer.
