that avy is mr bad guy

I live in a historic district, and my house was built in the 1870s. Every time my roommate leaves town, or even goes out at night while I stay home, I get spooked by every single sound. Fluttering curtains turn into spirits, and, when walking by the doorway, the objects that can be seen lying on my roommate's bed turn into people. Well, not really...but sometimes I can almost convince myself that the house is haunted. I just get this really freaked out feeling...my heart starts beating like crazy, and I have to turn on the TV, or my music, or call someone, to calm down.

I looked up the history of the house, and it doesn't say anybody died in it, but the original occupants and family are buried in a cemetery just down the road.

Last night I had a dream...but I'm not sure if it was a dream...that I tried to get out of bed, but I couldn't...there was all this pressure on my body forcing me back down. I think it was a dream, but it was all so real.

What makes things even creepier is the old cistern in the back. There is a deck built over it, but there is also a hatch door that you can lift to peer into the huge circular cavity. It reminds me of The Ring!

Do you believe in ghosts? What makes you think they are or are not real?

My mother forbade us to walk backwards. That is how the dead walk, she would say. Where did she get this idea? Perhaps from a bad translation. The dead, after all, do not walk backwards but they do walk behind us. They have no lungs and cannot call out but would love for us to turn around. They are victims of love, many of them.

Well, like I had in my past sig, my mom kissed my chick and held my hand. I was freaked out but it was sooooo comforting. Recently when my uncle was very ill, my brother walked in his hospital room and he said my mother was lying next to my uncle. He said my uncle kept saying "Charlotte, make them stop." He didn't want the oxygen on his face. My brother was freaked out and my uncle passed away minutes. It seems she came to get her brother.

When my aunt passed away, I saw her walking in my apartment and she felt very dark and evil. I told her to get out of my apartment. This very aunt has come to me in dreams pretending to be my mother. She is very much a lost soul.

That's creepy as hell.

1994

Our apartment duplex on 2627 2nd Ave S Minneapolis WAS indeed haunted

1. A man was walking in the kitchen with boots. I turned on the lights and nothing was there. When I went back 2 bed the boots walked some more

2. The people under us said a dark man would stand in the kitchen and not move in the night.

3. Someone would flick all the channels of the old TV at night

4. My brother said lots of people were whispering in the living room when only 2 people were there at night

5.[i] I was taking a sh** when the curtains raised up all the way to the ceiling and I ran right out of there screaming!!![/i]

But the last good ghostly encounter I had was when my best friends' mother was killed and when I had awoke just from dreaming about her I felt someone's butt raise up from the bed and no one was there. The imprint was on the spread too. I wasnt sure what 2 make of that.

Has anyone been watching Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi channel? This show cracks me up. They make it look all freaky from the commercials, then you watch the show and they find absolutely nothing, lol. I have to admit, for whatever reason this has become my latest obsession though. It's just by the end of each show, you find yourself wondering "Why did they even bother airing this episode"??? LOL.

Associated Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic Experiences
Sleep Paralysis

http://watarts.uwaterloo..../S_P2.html
Nightmare (Detail)

Henry Fuseli
Sleep paralysis, or more properly, sleep paralysis with hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations have been singled out as a particularly likely source of beliefs concerning not only alien abductions, but all manner of beliefs in alternative realities and otherworldly creatures. Sleep paralysis is a condition in which someone, most often lying in a supine position, about to drop off to sleep, or just upon waking from sleep realizes that s/he is unable to move, or speak, or cry out. This may last a few seconds or several moments, occasionally longer. People frequently report feeling a "presence" that is often described as malevolent, threatening, or evil. An intense sense of dread and terror is very common. The presence is likely to be vaguely felt or sensed just out of sight but thought to be watching or monitoring, often with intense interest, sometimes standing by, or sitting on, the bed. On some occasions the presence may attack, strangling and exerting crushing pressure on the chest. People also report auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and tactile hallucinations, as well as floating sensations and out-of-body experiences (Hufford, 1982). These various sensory experiences have been referred to collectively as hypnagogic and hypnopompic experiences (HHEs). People frequently try, unsuccessfully, to cry out. After seconds or minutes one feels suddenly released from the paralysis, but may be left with a lingering anxiety. Extreme effort to move may even produce phantom movements in which there is proprioceptive feedback of movement that conflicts with visual disconfirmation of any movement of the limb. People may also report severe pain in the limbs when trying to move them. Several recent surveys including our own suggest that between 25-30% of the population reports that they have experienced at least a mild form of sleep paralysis at least once and about 20-30% of these have had the experience on several occasions. A few people may have very elaborate experiences almost nightly (or many times in a night) for years. Aside from many of the very disturbing features of the experience itself (described in succeeding sections) the phenomenon is quite benign. It was thought in the past that it was a significant part of the so-called "narcoleptic tetrad", but recent surveys of non-clinical populations, such as ours, suggest that the prevalence may be as high among the general population as among diagnosed narcoleptics. For a summary of SP Characteristics see Table 1.

yes i do

had a few experiences but lately voices...

no i do not have mental health issues but when i am inbetween sleep and consciousness I hear voices occassionally last time someone asked me to pass them a condiment
