Why Do Street Lights Turn On or Off When We Pass?

When my girlfriend and I go on walks at night streetlights will turn off or on when we pass beneath them. This doesn’t happen when we are by ourselves, only when we are together. Keep in mind these are not motion activated, just regular street lights.

street lightsWe have seen several people walk past a seemingly burnt out light but when we go by it illuminates. I understand this happens to everyone but not like this. We have counted before and in an hour long walk got up to 13.

Could this be something paranormal or just a strange coincidence?

Do I Have A Gift? (help I’m scared)

I’ve been to a few mediums and told them about my experiences and they all have said I have a “gift” but I don’t know what that gift is.

Ever since I was young (6 years old) I have been terrified of spirits. Sometimes it feels like someone walks in the room when no ones there. Sometimes I get sad out of no where I just want to cry, and I’m not even sad. Its like someone else’s emotions.

I have dreams about ghosts all the time. And its not like they say they are dead. It will be a normal house, and normal person. Then all of a sudden I know they aren’t alive… But they don’t tell me.

My most terrifying dreams are ones that are always at on old house I use to live in… I was never able to sleep in my room alone I would go sleep with my mom because I was to scared. I have had many experiences in that house. Seen shadows, heard people talk in my ear, things move or levitate in front of me. Now every where I have lived since then, I still see shadows hear things but now when it talks it is in my momma’s voice saying my name. It has me shaking when that happens.

I will say ever since I started believing in god it has settled down with activity in the house. But the dreams wont… please help me. I am so confused and scared. I don’t want to be scared anymore.

Hallucination Or Something Else?

Hello everyone!

First of all, I’d like to say that I am not a native speaker of English so please forgive any linguistic mistakes I make. Secondly, I am a very open-minded person and I believe in paranormal situations. I share my experience because I’d like to see whether there are other interpretations apart from the logical one: hallucination.

The first night of my summer vacation with my boyfriend, as I was tossing and turning in our bed, having my eyes closed, at a moment when I had my back against my boyfriend, I opened my eyes (for no reason, it just happened) and I saw my boyfriend standing next to the bed staring me. He wasn’t doing anything, he was just standing still, looking at me. And he didn’t say anything when he saw that I saw him. That lasted more than five seconds. He really gave me the creeps! I was so afraid and surprised because I didn’t hear him walking (since I wasn’t sleeping.) So with a frightened voice I asked him “what are you doing?” and then I realized that he was actually sleeping next to me! And the “creepy guy” was gone…

Was that a kind of hallucination or something else? (Extra information: I don’t take any drugs or medication and I don’t drink)

Voodoo Death Paranormal House Experiences – Could They All Be Related?

Hello, I would like to share with you a real incident that my mother had many years ago.

My mother is from Greece but she lived in Nigeria, Africa for three years with her ex-husband. They had A LOT of money because of her husband’s ( Stelios )  job and as a result they had MANY enemies there.

It is said that Juju or black magic used to be very potent in Nigeria and my mother had seen herself many places where magic was performed. One day, when my mother went to her husband’s car, she found some hairs of his, hidden inside a peace of silver foil under his seat. At that time, she didn’t give any attention to it.

After a small period of time her brother ( Theodosis ) died after an accident he had with his motorcycle. The strange thing about it is that he died on Stelios’ name day!

My mother, the same day came back to Greece to see her brother for the last time. The next day ( a day before his funeral I think ) the doorbell of our apartment rang and it was a little girl 5-6 years old with long blonde hair, saying that she was lost and that she needed help. My mother agreed to help so she drove the girl back to her house ( the girl told her the address). The really creepy coincidence was that the little girl’s house was right across the house of Theodosis’ best friend! The girl’s house was inside a big plot full of trees and it was hard to be distinguished. My mother wanted to go with her until the door to make sure that she’ll be ok but she wouldn’t let her. She was finding excuses like ”we have dogs” or ”my mother will get ungry” in order not to let her go with her. After a few months my mother learned that that house was abandoned for many years.

Another strange think I forgot to mention is that we live in a flat in the third floor of a block so why did the little girl come up there and did not rang anyone else’s doorbell first? ( we have 5 more apartments below us, it is unlikely that no one else was there ). In addition to that, as any other block of flats, our has a main door that is always locked and you can not open it unless you have the key or someone else opens to you.

I really need your ideas on what that thing could be. Could it be caused by voodoo? Was the girl a ghost? A demon? My uncle’s soul? Since then my mother experiences many creepy things like strange dreams with her brother, butterflies in the house appearing from nowhere, she feels that someone is with her everywhere she goes, my grandmother feels someone touches her in the back when no one else is home, and MANY MANY other things! The last few years all these are weakened but I feel that something is still there! any ideas?

Thank you and excuse me for my bad English writing!

Is This Obsession Or Something Else?

I worked at a place called Ashmore Estates. It was a dark place, and had a dark feeling about it. Just stepping inside made me uncomfortable, and I was terrified of it. I believe that there truly is something evil there. I worked there for one month before I was forced to move cross country.

Since I moved it’s been almost four years. To this day I can’t stop talking about Ashmore Estates; I can’t stop thinking about it. I still am afraid of the place. If I did go back I wouldn’t ever enter it alone. But for some reason, I want to go back. I can’t get the old brick building out of my head. Even the way it smells. I’m obsessed with it, and I want to go back so bad I can taste it, even though I should hardly remember it. I mean, I was only there for a month and it’s been four years!

I don’t understand why this place is entrenched so deeply in my memory, and why I’m so obsessed with it. Could something dark in this building be pulling me back? Am I just going insane?

7 Knocks?

I am 20 years old living and care taking for my great aunt who is 101. She came to me earlier saying that she’s been having trouble sleeping. I asked her why and she told me that every night she is always woken up by exactly 7 knocks. I’ve looked up what 7 knocks could mean, but no luck. No one has died recently that we know of. At first I thought that it was just her hearing things, but right before I went to the bathroom right next to her bedroom a couple nights ago, a I heard it for myself. This was around 2 in the morning.

They were very clear knocks. Not like an animals. We’ve ruled out as much as we could from animals trees, pranksters. (I had a friend come over and check for kids when the knocks happened, no kids.)

I have no idea if this has to do with the situation, but we live in a duplex. My grandma lives in the house attached. She has an overly creepy basement with an odd room. This “odd” closet doesn’t have a light and is all concrete. I have never opened that door without a few dead rats right by the door inside. What’s even more creepy, there is a boarded up room in that closet. The wood is old and there is a small crevice I can peek through. All I see is more concrete walls, unidentified objects that have bee shadowed, and there is always a breeze when I look through the hole.

I’ve talked to many “paranormal experts” in town, however they all have led me into wrong, misleading directions that sent me into a downward spiral of having night terrors/sweats, waking up in the middle of the night screaming. For about a month I would wake up standing either facing a wall or next to my front door, having to stop myself from unlocking it and going outside to who knows where.

I just want to know about these 7 knocks. What do they mean? Why is the number always 7? Why is this always around 2 am? I’ve never gotten  an answer for any of this.

Handprint – Should I Be Concerned?

This morning I woke up with a hand print on the left side of my rib cage. The previous house I lived in was haunted by two spirits and my current house is also haunted, by what I don’t know. I was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about, or something that I should just let go?
