Category: General Questions

I have had two incidents lately of things moving in the house by themselves. The first happened (coincidentally, or maybe not) while I was watching a TV documentary about a woman who had created a poltergeist in her home with negative emotions.  I was lying on my bed watching it, and right as she was saying how she felt so bad for having created this, I watched as an (empty) foam cup on the bureau in front of me suddenly lifted straight up about 4 inches off of the bureau, and then jumped in an arc off of the bureau onto the floor.  I actually rubbed my eyes because I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. There was no noise, and it didn’t move again after it was on the floor.  I got up and examined the bureau to see if there was anything that might have caused it.  The only thing I found was my phone charger which was nearby, but if that had suddenly uncrimped (for example) and bumped the cup, it would have been knocked right off.  That would not account for the cup rising straight up into the air several inches and then literally leaping in an arc onto the floor.

The second incident was after I had cleaned the kitchen one day.  I had cleaned all the counter tops, closed all the cabinet doors, etc, and stood back when I was done, looking around to make sure I didn’t miss anything.  I gave a nod of satisfaction and then went out onto the patio to have a cigarette.  Once I was done with that, I walked back in and stopped short when I saw that one of the cabinet doors was open.  Not cracked open a little bit, it was wide open, as far as it would go. I am positive that it was closed, since I looked around and double-checked everything before I went outside.

This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced things moving by themselves. To my knowledge, there have been no deaths in the house.  I’m not freaking out, since it has just been a cup and a cabinet door.  But I also wanted to reach out for your input as to whether this might be the beginning of paranormal activity starting in the house, and what I can do to prevent it.  I don’t know if this matters, but I do love watching ghost shows, like “A Haunting” on Destination America.  But I have never dabbled in the paranormal, like using a Ouija board, playing with magic, etc.  I genuinely do not want to have a paranormal encounter because I would find it more frightening than interesting.

My question – is this anything I should be worried about?  Does it maybe mean that paranormal activity is starting in the house?  Or do things just sometimes move by themselves in a home and it’s nothing to worry about?  If it is potentially the beginning of more activity, is there anything I can do to stop it?  I smudged my room with sage after the cup incident, but I don’t know if that really works or if it’s just a wive stale.

On a side note, when I was out on the patio 2 days ago, I heard a loud scraping sound, like nails on wood.  It was coming from a cat toy that was on the table, which confused me because it’s just a stick with a string and a cloth mouse at the end of the string.  There isn’t anything on it that could cause a scraping sound like that.  When it happened I chalked it up to my imagination, but then about 5 minutes later it happened again.

Again, I know these are not major incidents, but I wanted to reach out and get your thoughts because if this is the beginning of more pronounced activity happening, I’d like to do what I can to stop it now before it escalates.

Also, I have no history of mental illness, hallucinations, etc.

All thoughts, feedback and suggestions welcome.

Thank you.

If you ask Archangel Michael to find and take ghosts into healing, will it attract more ghosts to you?

How often should you rebuild your psychic shields? I make mine in the morning right when I wake up.

How long does a shield last after you make it? I was worried as ghost could just walk right on through into my home if I don’t have shields up at night.

My wife and I arose one summer morning, about 5:30 am, just as dawn was breaking. We both saw an old crippled up woman, materialize from the culvert under our driveway.

I turned my wife and asked if she had seen what I just witnessed. She had.

My wife said go to the kitchen and see if she is still there. I did. The lady was on the neighbor’s side of the fence, pacing back and forth, staring at myself and our house.

I turned tell my wife to come and see, when I turned back, she was gone.

The woman, besides materializing from the culvert, was solid and looked as if they were human.

There had been some death recently around our family. My wife’s ex-husband had recently committed suicide by hanging. Our neighbor (who lived on the opposite side of the fence in question) had also recently also passed away. She was an elderly, devote Jehovah’s Witness that lived alone and had little to no contact with her immediate family. She did not resemble the woman we saw at all.

I have seen a couple of times since, always outside and just for brief moments. Always outside along the perimeter of our property. My wife prefers not to talk about it at all.

If you could please give us some explanation of what it would be greatly appreciate.

Thank you

I saw what I can only describe as a ghost about 4 years ago. Can someone help me understand it?

About four years ago I was in a house that the occupants believed was frequented by paranormal entities. I saw a shape that could be described as human-like moving from one room to another. This shape was yellow in color and incomplete, like an unfinished jigsaw puzzle. It was also transparent.

This house was quite old and had many instances of strange and unexplainable events occurring. Some of these events were quite frightening, but they never led to any harm.

Does anyone have a similar experience to share? Could anybody explain what it is that I saw?

Whenever I am at home, during the day, and I decide to take a quick nap, I always sense something in that between stage of being half awake/half asleep. It could just be me, but it feels really strange. Like I’m always trying to force myself to wake up because I feel a presence touch me.

For example, just now I was trying to fall asleep, and I almost was, but then I felt something flick my hair. I couldn’t move, then I felt something press against my back and look over at me. I kept forcing myself to wake up but it felt like it took a long time. I live in a little house that was built in the ’40s, and found out recently that a friend of mine used to also live in this house (rent) and her crazy ex husband killed their dog here. Which is crazy because one day, same circumstance: during the day, trying to nap while my son is at school, I felt something jump up on the bed and move around.

Now, I already have a little dog, but she was curled up under the covers at the time, but I felt her growling. Then the movement stopped, and I felt something curl up behind my back, like a dog would. I couldn’t move, then had to force myself up. This is totally freaking me out. I’ve had some other weird instances happen where lights were turned on when I swear I had turned them off, or things have been moved. But it’s always subtle and I always just think my mind is playing tricks on me when I’m alone.

So.. am I just being crazy?

A figure stands outside the closet at night, what is this?

Hello, I have never really used one of these sites before, but my boyfriend has an issue at hand, and we both want to know what this is and if we should be worried.

When he sleeps at night alone, he says around 3 in the morning, there is a figure that stands in the middle of the room, facing his closet. He just happens to wake up and sees this thing there. The way he describes it, it appears to be male, with a dark aura around the bottom half, but he can see the top half of it’s back. It’s pale, it has horns, its bald, and it has writing on it’s back of some sort.

If my boyfriend shuffles while its there, it turns his head, but my boyfriend just turns around so he doesn’t have to look at the face.

What’s really freaking him out is how it just stares at the closet, and the corner the closet is near is filled with this darkness that slowly spreads out.

My boyfriend has had weird experiences with his closet before, but this just started happening a month ago when his younger brother moved out of his room and he’s alone. It has been becoming more frequent as of late, and for now, he’s staying with me.

I realize this may sound out there, but I’m honestly just concerned for him and his family, if anyone has any idea what it might be, the help would be appreciated. Thank you.
