Paranormal Group

in

Welcome to the Paranormal Group. Here, we post, discuss, and explore anything related to the paranormal. This includes ghosts, aliens, unknown creatures, unusual theories, or anything else which is not explainable by mainstream science. It is obvious to the majority of paranormal enthusiasts that there is something real behind these phenomena, even though it is on the fringe of our understanding. While mainstream science usually does not support paranormal assertions, real life experience and broad areas of science like quantum physics clearly do support many paranormal theories.
The term "paranormal" is often related to the term "supernatural," which means, "of or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe." We often don't see what is behind the activity. We often see only the results of the activity, and are left to wonder what is causing these things, and how. Long ago, people used to have a hard time accepting the concept of air, this invisible substance that was all around us anywhere on earth. Even as recently as a few decades ago, mainstream science still believed that the space between planets was actually a void, while many philosophers and spiritualists insisted that there was definitely energy everywhere in the universe. Now even mainstream science accepts that space is full of a wide variety of energies and particles.
Nearly all new and unusual ideas are met with skepticism, even when they are correct. Most of us who are interested in the paranormal field know that this stuff is as real as the air we breathe. We may not know exactly what it is, but we are facing it honestly, and trying to figure it out.
Many people are simply too afraid to explore very much, whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. They like to stay safely within the mainstream, always comfortably far behind the line of pioneers. We pioneers push the human race forward. We expand limits and open minds. Many of the things we'll post and discuss in this Group will be about things which we really have no idea what they are. That's part of the thrill for us. We are explorers. We are treasure-hunters, searching for those nuggets of truth that will help to set us all free.

Ghost Dream

Submitted by Becca on Sun, 12/07/2008 - 19:12.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I woke up in my bed and felt like someone was in the room with me. I looked at the bedroom door which in the dream had a chain lock on it and I saw the chain move and lock the door. I tried to scream for Jay, but no sound came out. While I kept trying to scream or make any kind of sound to get Jay's attention, the furniture in my room started moving toward me. Finally Jay opened the door and came in. We ran out together and ran down the hall to the living room and he told me the furniture in the living room was moving too. When we got there, I turned around and looked back toward my bedroom. I saw a big man-shaped figure in my doorway that looked like it was wrapped in tan-colored bandages like a mummy. It came toward us down the hall. I yelled to Jay to get one of our cell phones and use it to videotape what was happening. The mummy-ghost reached the living room and attacked me. It threw me around the room and felt completely solid when I pushed back at it. I struggled with it over to the front door and managed to throw it out the apartment door and down the stairs. It was daylight outside. When it hit the stairs, it lost it's shape...as if the ghost had disappeared from inside the bandages and left the bandages behind. When I went back in, there were about 5 more ghosts that had materialized inside. I told Jay that we needed to throw them down the stairs outside. I fought with all of them and threw them all outside one by one.

a Case of Precognition?

I had posted this in paranormal chat, but reproducing here for more permanence, I don't have many chances to post something interesting, so I take advantage of it haha!

Here's something cool that happened to me earlier this week. I had a minor case of precognition.

I had just popped in a old twilight zone dvd ('60's version) and paused it at the beginning of the show to use the bathroom

As I got up, I started thinking of Anthrax. Not the toxin, but the early 90's rock band.

just a song started playing in my head...

after I got back, I started watching the show. It was an episode where a nazi dude went back to dachau to reminisce, and the dead basically drive him insane

well anyway, at one point as he's going insane, he's talking to a guy he killed and the guy replies "..

..."and they heard you offer an apology for all the monsters of our time"....which is a line in the Anthrax song I was playing in my head earlier.

I don't recall ever seeing this episode of Twilight zone. Also, I never knew where that line came from in the song, just assumed it was them

Jay's Paranormal Experiences

Submitted by Jay on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 09:33.

I've had paranormal experiences from time to time all of my life. I'm a very logical person by nature, so I always studied the details, and sought every possible explanation each time these things happened. Only the ones that seemed completley unexplainable by ordinary means were logged in my internal parnormal file.

Update - Minor Events

Submitted by Jay on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 16:45.

This is just a general update. We haven't experienced anything major since the dark shape I saw. We've both had very minor experiences such as vague feelings and bed nudges in the middle of the night a few times. I've been feeling very peaceful and comfortable in bed until last night. I awoke several times during my sleep with a very strong feeling that something was near me, watching me. I still slept well enough. I feel very confident in my ability to deal with such things ever since the shadowy figure.

Why Spirits Wear Clothes

Here's an interesting article I came across on our Paranormal News Feed:

Pseudoskeptics and debunkers are usually quick to smirk and scoff at reports that spirits wear clothes. Indeed, it even exceeds the boggle threshold of many who believe in a spirit world.

Waking in the Astral

I've been on a night schedule lately, sleeping during the day. The past couple of days, I've been missing some sleep, and working out extra hard, making myself exhausted, and taking short naps afterward. Tonight, I took a long nap of a few hours, just seven hours after waking up.

Another one of those "has to be very real or a complete fake." It's a shame so many people are making fake videos. This one is awesome except for the constant question of "is this real?" Unfortunately it looks like it could be fake.

Amazing Alien Abduction Attempt Footage

Watch this. Watch at least the beginning and the part at 5:40, where they slow it down. When they enhance it, you can clearly see a strange (alien?) creature reaching out from mid-air and grabbing this boy. Is it real? A lot of people believe it is.

Alien or Rock on Mars

Alien or rock? What are the odds that this object was formed by wind or water erosion, especially considering how different it is from anything else in the area?

We attended my brother Bryan's funeral yesterday. It was hard. We then went to my sister Yvonne's house to talk and eat and just be together for a few hours.

Black Shape Hovering Over Me

Submitted by Jay on Mon, 08/11/2008 - 12:35.
in

Last night, in the middle of the night, during one of my deep-sleep cycles, I awoke just enough to see a black shape hovering over my chest. It could have been on my chest, but I say hovering because I felt no sensation of it physically contacting me. It was fairly dark in the room, with some light coming in from the window and my open bedroom door. I was still partially asleep, but I immediately realized this was something that shouldn't be there. It was completely black, and obscuring more than a third (maybe half) of my field of view.

I just saw a Red Orb!

Submitted by Jay on Sun, 07/20/2008 - 20:34.

We just got back from dinner and a movie about an hour and a half ago. I cleaned up a bit, then laid down in bed for a short nap. When I awoke at approximately 8:30pm, it was dusk. Everything in the room was perfectly clear and colorful. I saw a red orb floating right next to the corner of my desk, about three feet from my head. It was very much like what Becca describes about her black orb. The main "body" of it was about one inch in diameter. The "legs" were about two inches long each (making it about five inches in diameter total).

You're home alone at night. You see a ghostly figure go into a room at the end of the hall. What do you do?

Black Orb

Submitted by Becca on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 14:10.

Let me start by saying that I've been sleeping with a lamp on in my bedroom every night ever since I noticed that there was always far more activity in the room when the light is off. On 6/10/08, I forgot to turn on the lamp for the first time in months.

Mattress Shaking

Submitted by Becca on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 14:08.

I woke up at 3:40 AM on 6/14/08 with the mattress of my bed shaking. It felt like 3 distinct shakes or "footsteps" which started on the right side of the bed by my feet and moved toward my head. The last one was about where my right elbow was as I was sleeping on my back with my arm to my side. So again the activity came from the right side of the bed, which is next to the wall.

You look like you've seen a... ghost?

Submitted by Becca on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 13:41.

I am extremely interested in the supernatural and I want to hear about everyones' experiences with ghosts or anything else that would be considered paranormal.

Here's one of mine:
For about the past year, I've been frequently awakened by "something" in my room.

Ghost Dream

Submitted by Jay on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 09:11.

I dreamed that I was dead, and that I was using the energy of my computer's power supply to manifest so that I could tell Becca what it's like, that I was okay, etc. I did this a few times. I was standing in front of the computer, facing Becca, with one or both of my hands behind me inside the power supply, drawing energy from it. I was able to achieve a fairly solid look, like maybe 80% solidity. I told her that it was like being in a dream (heh): hard to concentrate, and the tendency to instantly move from one location to another.

Energy Vampires

Energy Vampires – Some people, by their very presence, seem to drain the energy of those unprotected people around them. They will often associate with a victim who exhibits the classic signs of this drain.

Ghost playing the piano

Submitted by Rasputin on Sun, 06/22/2008 - 15:29.

Ok the papers moving off the piano are very easily faked (the camera even moves to the left, you can't see the right side of the piano).

And it's really nice how the video ends abruptly.

Also, the piano playing is of course easily faked, just dub in a sound track to the film.

What I want to know is how did he get the purplish hazy being at the piano? Is there a video feature in software which allows you to "transparency" a person or what? This is the part of the movie which seems like it'd be hard to do.

Denver alien?

Submitted by Rasputin on Sat, 05/31/2008 - 18:09.

So I'm sure you've all heard about this... http://origin.denverpost.com/ci_9427587

Sure it's almost certainly faked, but wouldn't that just rule if aliens came to earth?
Good, bad, indifferent, (thought hopefully good), no matter what they would completely change the human race as we know it.

Do you believe in ghosts?
