Paranormal Q&AI hardly know how to word this inquiry but I will do my best. My father and mother can hear my voice in the air at the house I grew up in. This occurred to both my mother and father, on the same weekend, and they both called me separately to ask if I had been up there to see them.
This has also occurred to me, from a different home and I could hear my father’s voice, as if on an answering machine, a message from the future.
Does anyone understand what these kind of events are?

Are green glowing paranormal eyes associated with demons like red eyes?
Asked by Michael
I heard 3 knocks from my kitchen around 1:30 a.m…
I had just started walking up stairs when I heard the calm but loud knocks that sounded just like a visitor was at the door.
My cat freaked and ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs as well.
I have 2 dogs that didnt make a peep but usually freak out with knocks or door bells.
Before I went down to use the bathroom I already had a spooky feeling and didnt really want to go but had to.
I recall hearing the same exact sound one other time in our home but I was laying in bed and the knock came from outside my bedroom and sounded like it was closer to the stairway on one of the other 2 bedrooms or the window seal.
I tried to research a little and found several answers so just wondering what any of you experts had to say. Thanks!

NOTE: The answers posted at the bottom of this question have a lot of great information about the subject of hearing knocking noises.
There has been an increase over the past few years of reports of knocking and a LOT of them can be debunked as something other than paranormal. One of the main reasons behind this increase, surprise, is an influx of paranormal shows on our TV.
To a degree, you need to do some investigation yourself initially to rule out everything else before you go down the paranormal route.
Luckily, in our day-and-age, we have many technological devices that can be used to aid us. For example, if you get a lot of knocks on your front door, then fit a doorbell with a camera to rule out anybody coming up and knocking on your door and doing a runner. You can review any recordings to rule out someone playing a prank on you.
Internal doors – using a digital Manometer you can measure the air pressure differences in various rooms of your home. Also, note any stronger than normal drafts or breezes (i.e. from old, or even new, AC outlet units). Pressure imbalances and large movements or air can cause doors to ‘bang’ in their frames.
Walls and under floors – using a Stud and Joist finder, locate any pipes that run through the area that knocking is being heard. Pipes can expand and retract, sometimes snagging on other structures before suddenly releasing (known as the ‘Tectonic Effect’ as it is similar to how tectonic plates work). Pipes in basements should be inspected thoroughly to ensure that they are firmly fixed and there is no excess movement. Noises from basement pipes can travel throughout the pipe network and be heard in other areas of the house.
Digital voice recorder – using a looping DVR (one that records over itself for long recording), or using a sound-activated recorder, leave it recording wherever you hear knocking if routinely heard. What you are looking for upon review, are any other noises that are picked up at the time that the knocking is heard, especially EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena).
For those who can afford them, leave a CCTV camera, or a Camcorder, running in the room/area where knocking is being heard and review the footage for anything unusual. Recordings should also include sound, as this can be used as evidence if you go down the road of getting a paranormal group into your property, which should be done as a last resort and once you have ruled EVERYTHING else out.
Research your property’s history, especially if a historic property, as well as the area in general. Gather any information you can to anything that may have occurred within or around the property. IF this is a paranormal event, this may give you an insight into what could be going on and with whom.
Okay, so you have done everything else above and your 17-year old daughter is hearing knocks on her bedroom wall in the evenings. The wall has no pipework running through it; there are no neighbours on the other side of the wall; nothing has shown up on any video recordings and you want to know where to turn to next.
Firstly, let me say do not panic. Although a little frightening, knocks have never hurt anyone. If there is any other unexplained activity that comes with the knocking or being experienced separately, then the situation is clearly different, but if just knocks are being heard, you should remain calm. Contact a local paranormal group and ask them to investigate, making sure you present them with any evidence you have collected already. Always try to pick a group that has been operating for some time – they will have experience. Many groups do not charge for investigating paranormal events – they are often glad to get somewhere new to investigate other than the regular haunted locations that every ‘man and his dog’ visits. Do NOT automatically go to a Medium. I have a lot of respect for TRUE Mediums, but there are, unfortunately, too many Mediums out there that are fake and will tell you anything. This in turn can lead to further anxiety and even poor mental health (the power of suggestion is a powerful thing……).
Secondly, the three knocks. This is believed (there is yet no evidence to substantiate the claim) to be a mocking of the Holy Trinity – The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Typically, although not always, they are found side-by-side with negative energies and what we perceive as demons. Both types of hauntings, where the knocking is typically heard, will also be found with foul smells, growling and other ‘dark’ occurrences. In this instance, I would highly suggest that you get help from a paranormal group/investigator with experience in these types of hauntings.
Lastly, and in my opinion, the most important piece of advice I can give here – never, and I mean never, try to take things into your own hands and try to make contact with anything, if you suspect a haunting, using a Spirit Board or by holding a Séance if you do not know what you are doing. I was a Spirit Board Medium for 8-years and I can tell you some stories that would make your hair stand-on-end – and I KNEW what I was doing.

Im wondering if the number of orbs has anything to do with number if spirits?
I was video taping my daughter in the tub and literally five to ten orbs are dancing around and over her this is not strange to see orbs in my house but I haven’t seen so many at once I see them so often I see them with my naked eye now too when at first was just in video.
Asked by NUNYABIZZ
The past four days or so we have been hearing walking around and banging upstairs while no one is up there (both cats were also down here with us).
At first we tried playing it off as just the house making weird noises or something along those lines… but it does sound exactly like when someone is walking around up there.
Two days ago I went upstairs and all of my baby socks were taken out of the basket that they are kept in and placed underneath the basket instead. Our baby will be here any time now (he is 5 days over due) and we have never had any of this sort of stuff go on I. This house in the five years we have lived here up until now.
It’s really bothering me that whatever it is showed up right as the baby is about to be here and is messing with his stuff. We are moving out in Decemeber, but that still leaves us here for another about 3 months and at this point I won’t even be leaving him in a room to nap alone… ever.
Do you have any explanations or advice?
Asked by Krista
I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy almost 6 weeks ago now and he’s an absolute delight. I have noticed though, since giving birth I’ve woken up about 6 times with red handprints on my chest. They aren’t my husbands and they’re the wrong way round for it to be possible for them to be mine.
I’m really confused as to what’s going on and am slightly concerned. Any advice or has anybody experienced similar things?
Asked by Pam
My daughter saw herself in her rearview mirror of her car while she was driving. She looked in the mirror and she was in the backseat behind her looking straight ahead. She also said she saw a girl in her car for a moment before she got in it. She says she also hears someone call her name at night. I think its a spirit guide or guardian angel, I hope I’m right.
My daughter has some mental issues but she is taking medication and working with a therapist for bi-polar disease. Any thoughts?
