The Unexplained

[Nirvanadragones]

Do you believe in the supernatural? Have you had any experience worth sharing?

I'm a believer, and I've experienced the positive elements on numerous occasions. This afternoon, I was faced with the negative. It's really affected me.

Talk to me.

vana, of course I believe in the supernatural, it's a whole big part of my faith. I feel the influence of angels all the time, so many times myself andmy family have been kept safe from danger -my mum drove down the wrong side of a motorway with us in the car once, and though it was a busy stretch, nothing was coming and she realised really quickly and we weren't harmed.

I know people who will swear by having seen and spoken to angels, but I can't say I've experienced that myself.

I do believe in it though and I'll pray for you, sweetheart -a bit of positivity for you

 

[neonlyte]

Yes.

Experiences? Plenty but only one that I can confirm as 'supernatural', I acted upon a 'vision' relating to an AH'er and had the vision confirmed the following day. It was a good vision.

I have a very good friend coming to visit for a few days, for several years we kept in mental contact, she lives in Iceland, I was in UK. Can't explain it any more than she can but it embarrassed the hell out of our respective partners.

Less pleasant visions, I 'saw' a plane crash in Pakistan the day before it happened, this was in the early 1990's. I've 'seen ghosts' in the London Underground, Euston, Victoria Line. I predict the mail (which is easy).

My wife nearly always calls me within a couple of minutes of me wondering what she's upto, since we spend a good part of our lives with one of us in UK and the other in Portugal, this is less likely an occurance than it sounds.

Most recently, I posted here that Iran had introduced petrol rationing, which they did - 3 days ago. I posted the 'news' about a month ago.

 

[scheherazade_79]

Not personally. I had a gf who was very into the supernatural, but it always seemed to happen to her in a negative way. Apparently it never happened when I was sleeping in the same bed as her, though.

Maybe I frighten ghosts as well as people away

Willing to lend my services as an exorcist if you need.

There with you Vana.

What happened?

 

[flavortang]

One day, during a cloudless afternoon in Southern California I saw a big, bright, red flaming ball in the sky. I watched it for several minutes and glanced away only because my dog was bugging me. When I looked up, though, it had completely vanished. A flaming, gaseous red ball in the sky completely vanishes. Strange. Then I ran inside to check the news to see what it was. No one reported it and there was no mention of it anywhere, as if I was the only one to see it.

When I was in the Navy I had an experience where, during my first week on the ship(USS Harry S. Truman) I went into a bathroom but had to go in the dark because I couldn't find the switch. When I first approached the door, it was closing and I saw no one come out and there was only one was to exit and that was into the hallway I entered it from. I assumed someone was in the bathroom with me but didn't even know how big/small the bathroom was because it was in total darkness.

After I did my business, I left and one the way out noticed the light switch. I flipped it on and realized the bathroom was tiny, with only one door leading in or out, and I was the only one there. So, I did the mental math; the door was closing when I initially approached, no one was leaving the bathroom and no one was in the bathroom and there was only one door to come or go. Figuring that out, I got freaked and ran. Later that day, I found out that there were three reported ghosts on the ship, construction workers who'd died there.

When I worked as a caretaker for infants, I had a shared experience of negative. Physical elements of your typical cold, dark, chilling sense.

I was working with a woman who was as sensitive as I was, and we were able to put together what we could. But the intention trully seemed to be of a being who wanted a body, and was going to wait until one vacated, and if there was no vacating, they'd help them along their way.

It's surreal having nursery items turn sinister. Weird stuff like a Mylar pastel balloon intended as congratulations following you everywhere, blocking the view, keeping you from seeing clearly.

Several people who worked there wouldn't enter the room. We did what we could to clear and ward and there were no injuries or fatalities, but it's a hell of a thing when a whole building can catch on, and there's only you and one other slight lady willing to go into a roomful of babies.

Vana


There was the time when I knew that my boyfriend was being beaten up; I knew he was calling for the cops and that no one was responding. I knew when the fight stopped and that he was more or less all right. He called me about five minutes later to tell me about it.


On the other hand, there've been countless times when I've known that something had happened to one of my loved ones and nothing had. Likewise, there've been many times when something's happened and I've had no premonition at all-- my mother's near-death heart attack, for one.

I do not believe in the supernatural. I do believe in the power of the human imagination, and in our sensitivity to subtle clues around us-- and given how often each of all of the millions of us let our thoughts ramble, it would be amazing indeed if someone somewhere hadn't been thinking about an airline crash just prior to one.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

There with you Vana.

What happened?

Parts of a wall to wall bookcase in Gabrielle's room just fell over - as if the shelves were pushed out. Some part of the bookcase - like the very top, and a few other shelves are unmoved. And everything on it is exactly the way it was. So . . . areas of the shelf unit as a whole, just... fell - with their entire content, onto the floor. The shelves that fell are random, as far as I can see. And the actual shelves came out. Like it was pulled or pushed out.

It's a heavy, stable (or so I thought) well constructed bookcase. Things are lying all over the room. My glass fairies broke. So did a windchime that was higher up than the highest shelf - and not very near to the bookcase. Books everywhere.

And the door to the room banged shut.

I've definitely been there for moments like that. I'm so sorry. Anything you could get from the aftermath? I guess I always try to get a read on stuff like that, just in case. Tactical debriefing?

 

[scheherazade_79]

I lied - I just remembered something. I was home alone for the weekend once, and the doorbell started ringing at around 1am. There was no one around. I even went out with a baseball bat, thinking it was someone playing silly buggers.

I got so annoyed in the end I pulled the batteries out.

It was kind of unnerving, though.

Hugs

That would have me utterly spooked.

Sorry you had to experience that

The door banging shut might just have been the effect of the shelves tumbling. There is a tendency for things to become 'undone', particularly around sensitive people. In our family it tends to be electrical things, wires coming loose but I've know perfectly tight screws to loosen.

For me it would also extend to water faucets going on and off, and usually candle flame completely freaking out.

My friends would light candles around me and watch.

Around me, things tend to go on without notice sometimes: the tv, a radio, etc. Never really loud or intrusive, just turn themselves on.

I've gotten rather used to it.

Vana: something may just be trying to get your attention. It's not necessarily something negative.

Yeah. It was much worse when I was younger. A bit of poltergeist phenomena, I think, trying to rein in everything going on in my space.

I agree that it's a good idea to take stock of the scene for clues. P.S.I.

[Nirvanadragones]

Thanks, Friends. I've done a few protection spells, and lit the candles. The candle flames are very, very high, and there's lots of movement. Yet, I'm not feeling scared now. I know I'm protected.

Earlier, I was scared out of my mind. It was definitely evil. I could feel it.

I usually feel better after burning some sage and taking stock. Hopefully that's the end to it. Hope so

I certainly believe there are things that we (humans) can't explain, but that's not to say we shouldn't try our damndest to.

And I also believe that people have unexplained instincts, "sixths" (and seventh, and eighth!) senses. Especially when it comes to knowing, or predicting, other people's behaviour and feelings.

But I don't really believe in supernaturals forces. In fact I think any force is natural, and what made the bookcase fall was nothing more or less than gravity.


Why did it fall just then? Well I can think of

wind
subsidance in the building
earth tremor
animal (including human!) tipped it over

And bookshelves and pictures frequently crash down in my apartment. Which is a combination of gravity and my DIY inpetitude.

I believe that the most obvious answer is usually the correct one, true. But I think Vana knows enough about the real world and what can happen when energies intrude into that space for whatever reason.

There's just an unmistakeable feel to it. You can't miss it if you're sensitive, and from everything I know about reaching across the ocean to this lady, if she's anything, she's sensitive and drawing it into order.

 

[impressive]

I'm not sure I'd call it "supernatural." I prefer "unexplained." I definitely believe, although I've little/no direct experience with the type of thing you describe.

 

[neonlyte]

Ines gets the physical events, bedside clocks that stop, ATM's tend to play tricks with her, and she is forever losing the thing she's 'just used'. It's usually in the place she left it though she swears it wasn't there when she looked. Mine are all 'mental', it's kind off unnerving because I can't physically relate to the event. One recurring series, though not recent (12 months) is the notion of being connected to a telephone exchange, I can listen to hundreds of conversations in different languages catch a word here or there. This usually happens at night and continues for 10 - 15 minutes, though I'm none the wiser at the end as to what has taken place.

Same with mine. My guy has physical manifestations. When I moved here obsidian spheres started to appear. He thought they were part of my collection. I'd look at it.

"Honey, that doesn't belong to me. That's yours."
"I have no idea where it came from."
"I didn't do it"

He didn't believe me. Three spheres later and he's pretty much accusing me of messing with hiim.

"Honey. It's yours. You are the one with Cherokee blood. I'm like...Irish. I would be getting runes or some shit. Maybe potatoes. It's yours. Deal."

Eventually a perfect obsidian arrow head showed up and he took one look at it and said "Okay, now THAT is mine."

I ordered him some leather cord and silver wire to bind it together with. No questions about what's his now, and no more obsidian hauntings.

 

[cloudy]

We believe in the little people.

They're good spirits, and sometimes they peek at me from around corners, and behind doors, just to let me know they're there. The old stories tell of them saving children lost in the woods and such. Maybe they were gifting the obsidian to you.

I haven't seen them here lately, but I know why.

Whatever it was, they definitely believed in HIM.

I know when something's addressed to me. I'm just better at picking up tiny hints from practice.

I think there's something to the saying "I look into the abyss and the abyss looks back."

Sometimes the metaphoric abyss takes interest, sometimes it's heaven, sometimes it's just an open door and a wrong number.
