I rented a small house in town some years ago and at the end of a typical day, went up the flight of stairs that ended right at my bedroom and bed. I laid down and was waiting in the night quiet to fall off to sleep. After about 15 minutes I heard footsteps coming up the stairs )I was laying with my back to the stairs)it went through my mind very quickly that it may be my cat. Well, in the period of time 5 to 8 seconds these hurried footsteps came up the stairs, entered my room and went off in to the closet at the foot of my bed. The thought of my cat was very quick as I had an awareness from inside somewhere, not to move and definitly not to look. The hair on the back of my neck was sticking straight out and I had a definite feeling of fear. It was brief but God, it stayed with me for a long time. It was scary. I have not seen a ghost yet. Other weird stuff happened in that little house also.

I have been living at my parents house on and off for the past 40 years. When I was a little kid my closet door would open by itself during the night. It had a spring lock so it had to actually be opened it couldn't blow open. There would be someone coming up the stairs and you could see the shadow at the bedroom door...when you would quickly open the door and no one would be there. Util I moved out for the second time at 20 something...I heard my name being called each and everytime I took a shower in that house. It got so bad I would leave the door ajar and only take a shower when others were home....lol The dimmer switch in the kitchen would slowly turn down so eventually you were straining to see and would have to get up and turn it back up. The pipes would clang beneath my room when I moved downstairs...I finally figured out that if I asked that the noise be stopped, it would stop. Just last year I was sitting at the desk in my moms room using the computer. I had just bought a new digital camera and it was about a foot away from me on top of my just folded clothes basket of clothes. All of a sudden it just jumped up and flew at my shoulder...I have no clue how that could happen on it's own....it would have to go up in the air a foot or so and to the left a foot or so to reach me...hehe One time I put my glass on the table it picked up about a 1/2 inch and then move forward and backward about 6 inches then bangedd down on the table without spilling. There is also a shadow person I believe to be a man that can be seen by the bathroom door alot. It was coming near me for a while so I moved to my laptop in the kitchen instead of the pc in the living room...very strange...too much stuff happens all the time,,,, Blessed Be, Mari

My question would be have I ever gone with out a Paranormal Experience? It is a part of my life and I have a love hate relationship with it. I love to hate it and hate to love it. I know for me I will never be able to escape the world of the unknown, how ever they are usually more friendly than people. LOL Just because I think they are after me does not mean they are not. Just because you can't see them that does not mean they can not see you. Just because it is a taboo topic in America mostly, I welcome it, I love being different. Hehe. Ainge

I've had several experiences that frightened me and gave me the 'hair on the back of my neck standing up' feelings. One in particular I've learned I can't share online because every time I try to my computer crashes - figure that one out. I've also seen a ghost years back, an elderly lady setting in a rocking chair but I could see right through both. Scarey but no problem. The house I live in now the owner has seen one 2 different times in the same area of the house but I haven't seen it although I 'have that feeling'.

I actually think it's very common just many people don't recognize or acknowledge these things - others just don't admit to it. You also have a wonderful day.

I was not aware that experiences, like you all are sharing here, are so common among us. I think that is really far out. PEACE Hope you have a wonderful day today.

The last house that we lived in had some odd things happen in it. my son was then about thirteen.drawers would open without anyone touching them, pictures would tilt sideways by themselves and doors would shut slowly again by themselves.no breeze yet the doors closed. a knife floated in the air. these only happened when myson was home. By the time he reached fourteen nothing unusual ever happened again.I figure it was poltergeists and was triggered by my son's unconsciousness.

I've been in similar situations most of the times, most of my stories are type written and ready to be passed on some websites. just ask me if you want to hear my stories.
