Your Paranormal/Magical Experiences

[1137]

I've been meaning to write about mine for some time, maybe I'll do that soon.

- Grew up in a haunted house with tons of activity to this day. Dozens of people have had experiences there.

- Worked in a haunted theater built on top of an Indian burial ground (not joking). All sorts of stuff from footsteps and shadows to literal bats and black mold.

- Have seen skinwalkers including a few convincing videos. Have been chased by the local native boogeyman on two separate occasions.

- Summoned nature spirits with friends who essentially partied with us. Actually not one of these haunting was isolated or just happened to me BTW each has witnesses.

- Built an altar while camping which caused a timely glitch in a picture.

I'm sure there's more. In my family and friends group the acceptance of the paranormal is very casual.

Won't be checking in, but also good to my word.

Divine/Paranormal Experiences/Practices

This has been a highly requested topic for a while now, and was requested again for the podcast. I decided to write this one out for many reasons, including some personal, but also just because I feel they should be articulated in the best way possible, which for me is writing. I plan to use...

So my family has had numerous experiences seeing my Grandmother after she had passed away.
My first experience was one night, me and my Dad were at a gas station. We hear a honk.
It was the car in front of us, facing our way. In the car, there was a woman who looked virtually
identical to my Grandmother. She was just sitting there looking at us. And then she waves.
I thought okay.... That was weird. Why would someone who didn't know us be acting in such
a behavior? I feel like it was almost too ironic.
Now the second is my Grandfather when he was in and out of rehab facilities for dementia
and different things involving it. The nurses said several times he had a lady caller, as nobody
knew her name. My uncle, his son, pulled out a picture of his Mother, my Grandmother and asked
if that was her. The nurse said yes. Obviously, none of this makes sense because my Grandmother
had died before all this. But until this day, I can't really explain any of this.

Hello. My first post.

I've got a "paranormal" experience you might want to hear. Way back in the Pleistocene age I drove ambulance as a certified EMT for Wadena County Ambulance in MN. I lived at the ambulance station and sold my car after getting the job, so they let me use the ambulance to do my own errands. After six months on the job something remarkable happened. I drove the ambulance to the laundromat that was across the street from the station. I went in and put my clothes in the washer, fed the coins, and went back out about 7 minutes later to the ambulance van, started it, put it in reverse, and backed up a couple feet. Suddenly, for no reason, I stomped on the break and exclaimed out loud, "Something ain't right!" I pulled the van back up, got out, and walked to the back of the van and there, on the parking lot pavement, was an infant on all fours directly behind the rear wheel! No adults nearby, just a lot of cars and this infant frozen looking up at me. I screamed out, "What the "&^*%!"

Needless to say, I was shocked out of my wits. I picked up the baby and looked around for any sign of a parent. It dawned on me that the mother might be in the Laundry. So I walked in and said out loud, "Is this anyone's baby?" A young mother, about 18, looked at me somewhat disgustedly, walked over, and grabbed the baby. I was so astonished by the whole event all I could think to do was leave. Looking back it was a miracle, not necessarily a divine miracle, but certainly an extraordinary event with a happy ending. Never before that day, nor after, have I ever had an experience like that in my car. Speaking as an agnostic--sometimes theist, I have never been able to formulate a rational explanation for that remarkable occurrence.

Thanks for reading. I've had a few other paranormal or "mystical" experiences in my life. But I rarely share them, don't want to sound too crazy.

I have heard story after story similar to this and just have come to believe in intercessory spirits in action for our good.

Now I understand the skepticism towards invisible spirits too. But I would call myself a believer.

I think everyone had these kind of experiences at some point in their lives, even the all-wise materialistic people but we tend to ignore and forget these kind of experiences because these don't fit to our perspective of mundane reality . So what are your paranormal experiences?

I’ve had experiences with the Placebo-Effect while actually using a false form of belief that worked. Well, I came into understanding the Placebo-Effect later after I did my Paraspychology Course and got certified but back then I didn’t know it was actually a thing in the realms of the Paranormal.

Let me explain, so back then I believed that if you believe in anything then you can become anything. Even if you believe you’re not gonna get sick because you believe words have the ability to mutate the DNA in a way that changes it’s sequences to provide defense against diseases, it works; I did this for the Coronavirus, and I never actually got the virus, ever; I probably had events where I had normal flu when I went to the hospital, they never said it’s Corona. They only mentioned it’s normal flu, but I never attracted the virus even when going out and about in public places filled with people (Well, there wasn’t a lockdown in our country, obviously).

Here's one I shared on this forum recently. As you probably didn't see it, I'll repost it here:

My disappearing/reappearing to-do list

I keep a running to-do list all the time in my front pants pocket. I am obsessive about it. Anyway on Friday morning September 29, 2023 it was nowhere to be found. I knew it was safe and sound in my home on Thursday night because the last thing before going to bed I wrote on it to buy mouthwash. Not finding it in its usual place and after extensive searching including even checking garbage cans. I gave up. On Monday October 2, it showed up in the exact spot it was supposed to be in my front pants pocket that had been searched thoroughly (and I mean thoroughly). I was grabbing my new list to add an item and pulled out the old one by surprise. To me this was a perfect zero percent chance of me just missing it exactly in its expected location. I live alone and no pets beyond an aquarium.

I read on the forums I visit many stories of things disappearing and then being found in exactly the location where they were last placed. Of course I half-believe and half say ‘ya, ya, ya……’ like you are probably doing with me. I do believe this in the repertoire of the spirit world.

But here’s where my story gets deeper. On Thursday September 28, 2023 I was the victim of an online scam. A clever scam where I thought I was talking to PayPal (a legitimate company that I do financial business with) but in reality it was an overseas scammer that really wasn’t PayPal. In correcting a situation I was scammed out of a very substantial amount of money. I won’t go into the complicated details. Point is when I went to bed on Thursday night I did not know this was a scam and I HAD A NOTE ON THAT VERY TO-DO LIST TO SEND THEM AN ADDITIONAL VERY SUBSTANTIAL SUM. On Friday morning I just grew suspicious and called the real PayPal and determined this was all a scam.

Now the physical paranormal event (disappearing/reappearing to-do list) I am 100% sure happened. Any further meaning behind this can only be my honest speculation. My late dad was always the financial astute and interested person in my family. I am actually very financially comfortable to this day not because of my brains, savvy or effort but because of my dad. I believed very strongly that he has been a very active involved spirit already since his death and was always very concerned and involved with financial things when alive.

Yes. Objects disappearing and reappearing is 100% proof of Paranormal Activities. I’ve had some of these experiences several times where I kept a pen at some place or some stuff that I use, then after sometime it disappears and reappears after months. At first, I began to think it’s just triggered by my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but it isn’t. Things actually disappeared and reappeared after some months. Back then I was working with the Occult and performing rituals more often, so it’s understandable. Also, the house was pretty big, so we believed that the house just swallowed it lmao; I had events whereby when I worked with Sigils or other forms of magic when I heard sounds in my roof as well, but thought it was just a raccoon or some kind of animal but when going to check up the roof, I find nothing there but before shifting the house, I saw a random animal coming from the roof looking all scared and it went back up in the roof and disappeared again. Sounds from the roof we’re still there regardless and if I can remember; I opened many demonic portals and worked with plenty of rituals in that house, so it’s understandable.

That has also happened to me since my husband passed on in July 2022, things disappearing, but not all of them have reappeared.

Also, the TV in the bedroom has come on by itself about 12 times.
I had a cable technician over here and he looked at all my equipment and could find no reason for the TV to come on spontaneously. The remote control was not even in the room and the TV is in a cabinet behind closed doors. The technician finally concluded that it must be paranormal. I was his last call for the day and as he drove away I think he was headed for the bar!

When I was a kid I thought I saw ghosts in the window of an old Arkansas hotel that had always been considered to be haunted and was one of the ghost sighting capitals of the world. The memory of it isn't detailed enough for me to make an educated guess as to what it actually was that I saw, but was most likely some type of reflection of sunlight or movement of some material that created an optical illusion.

More recently, I have experienced some strange, improbable coincidences, but I see them as just that, coincidences, and almost certainly nothing more than that. Others might see them differently.

Unexplained and unverified events get people sent to the mental ward, therefore mine have not been nearly as limited as I would like them to have been. What's the definition of paranormal? Anyway, I think they simply keep us under observation. The men in black Feds or whoever they are, CIA ... I don't know can't just allow the freer thinkers out of the box we've been conditioned to operate in, and I suppose after you conjure up an angel manifestation to your preference, they frown on it.

When I was a young lad of about 20 I was living in an old apartment building in Richmond VA. with my girlfriend. It was a lovely sunny spring afternoon and my girlfriend was off to classes til later, so I was just lounging around the apartment.

I was sitting in the living room reading when I sensed something strange in the direction of the kitchen at the other end of the flat. No sound or movement or anything, just a strong internal sense of strangeness coming from that direction.

So I got up and walked toward the kitchen, just out of curiosity, and as I did, the feeling got much stronger. So much so it was a bit scary. And it actually made me afraid to go into the kitchen. But I did, and as I entered the kitchen the feeling diminished somewhat. As if I had 'passed by it'.

There was a doorway immediately to the right of the kitchen doorway that went to a small dining room. That room was always a little bit dark because the one window in it faced the alley between buildings, and the sunlight was always obscured. And as I stepped in to that room the feeling increased dramatically. And it felt very malevolent! And very strong. And it was in a very specific place in the room, near the wall next to the window. I saw nothing, and heard nothing, but I felt the presence of it very clearly and very powerfully. And after a moment my shock and confusion cleared and I immediately realized what whatever this was I wanted NOTHING to do with it!

As I left the room, whatever "it" was stayed there. But I could still sense it in there for a long while from back out in the living room. And I was very uneasy even walking past the dining room for about three days after that. Eventually I went in there again, some days later, and whatever I had sensed there, before, was gone. Though my fear of it lingered a quite a while.

It was a very weird, dark, and powerful experience. And I have no explanation for it. It did not create the idea in my mind that it was a "ghost". Or even a 'spirit being' of some kind. It felt more like a very malevolent epicenter had somehow occurred at that specific spot in that specific room, for no reason that I could fathom. Nor did it seem particularly interested in me. And after a short time it dissipated.

Leaving just a frightening lingering memory in me, and maybe in the room, too.

A week or two ago, Grandma's cat was put down, due to severe health problems.

This decision was made by an uncle, who'd been caring for the cat for several years. The cat lived in Grandma's house, alone. Grandma lives in a nursing home about half an hour to the north of her house.

Grandma has dementia, and doesn't know who most of us are at least half of the time. She can't figure out how to hold the telephone, and gets angry because she thinks it doesn't work. When my uncle walked in to see her the day after the cat had passed, she told him "You don't have to tell me he's gone. I know." My uncle was shocked, and asked who told her. She said "I already know. I didn't hear him meowing last night, so I knew he was gone."

Dementia is incredibly interesting.

Yes, perhaps the closer to physical death we become the closer to the nonphysical planes we become.

My mother-in-law once told me that her mother stated that she saw her deceased husband standing beside her bed just before she died. She told my mother and father-in-law that he had told her that it was time for her to join him. She smiled and reached out her hand as she turned to face the side of her bed, and then she breathed her final breath. As someone who can see spirits and has been with close friends when they passed, I can confirm that a dying person claiming to have seen a deceased loved one or pet just before they died is a common occurrence. I've read several articles in which hospice nurses verify this phenomenon, such as this one: Hospice nurse shares the one thing 'almost everyone' sees before they die. It's not an unusual occurrence.

In my husband's family, there were a few members who muttered something about a man in a white tuxedo right before passing.

Wonder if he might be a family ancestor...
