Something Lurking in My Room

Lately I have been having some issues sleeping. I don’t have disturbing dreams or anything but it feels like I’m being woken at night quite abruptly. Sometimes I have seen a shadow-like figure on the ceiling, other times it has moved across the room and up my wall.

Last night it had escalated to a person sitting on my bed smiling at me. I didn’t recognize the person and I didn’t feel safe with them being there.

This isn’t the first paranormal-like thing to happen to me. When I was 4 my dad recalled hearing me talking in my room and singing Old McDonald Had A Farm but never heard anyone else. He eventually asked me about after he heard me mumbling in another language and I told him that it was his Nan, she died just before I was born. He asked me what she looks like and I apparently described her exactly despite never seeing her or a photo. I don’t remember this story but I have sometimes dreamt of her.

Lately when I’m at home I feel like I’m being watched/not alone. I’d really like to know what on earth is going on and if there is anything I can do?

Do You Always Feel A Cold Feeling When Spirits Are Near?

I have heard when sprits are near there is a cold feeling. But I know I have seen one spirit, which was my grandfather, sitting on the end of my bed he woke me up by touching my leg. But I did not feel any cold.

Also when my father passed I saw him and he spoke to me but no cold feeling. Then one night in 1978 I was living at my brothers home after a divorce, after about a week being there one night about one in the morning I woke up and got a drink of water in kitchen, went back to bed, the bed on the left side was pushed up against the wall, when I got back in bed I could not go back to sleep right away so as I was laying there I started feeling tingling coming up both legs, I had my hands behind my head, it took me a minute to realize what was happening. I tried to move my hands from behind my head and could not. Could not move my body at all, but then I realized I could feel the covers on left side of bed rise up and I could feel a leg run down my leg as if someone was getting into bed with me.

Then all of a sudden my brother came running into the room and I felt the tingling go back down my legs and I could move again. But can’t remember feeling any cold.

My sister-in-law said my brother sat right up in bed and said ‘there is something wrong with Katy’, which is what my brother calls me, and came running down the hall to my room. He said you look like you seen a ghost. Did not see it but felt it.

Why A Salt Pyramid?

I had a possible client ask me and my group to investigate her house she thinks she is having a ghost do things in her house.

She claims she has found a small pyramid of salt on her kitchen floor a few times in a few months (she doesn’t even have salt in her house because of health reasons).

She has a cat that will act aggressive and cry loud to something in the house from time to time. She tells us about noises, closing of door etc.

But that salt thing has me wondering, why salt? I know how I use it with smudging but this is a new one for me… please let me know

Do Poltergeists Act Out Against Some People More Than Others?

Do poltergeists act out against some people more than others in a household?

I have suspected that I have a poltergeist in my home for sometime. It usually doesn’t give me a lot of problems, other than knocking noises at night, that I have learn to ignore most of the time.

I have a cleaning lady that comes a couple times a month and we have had some weird things happen when she is here. One time when she turned a lamp on, the light bulb blew up and shattered into a bunch of pieces, but I just thought maybe it was just a bad bulb, but another time while she was cleaning something kept switching the light in the kitchen off and on. Just this week while she was here, a big picture fell off the wall. Neither one of us was near it. The screw in the wall that was holding it was still in the wall firmly and the wire across the back was still in tack. It didn’t just slide down the wall, it feel with a big bang and quite a ways from the wall.

Later we heard a ringing noise in the kitchen and we both went in there and the metal sink stopper was vibrating on the counter and making a ringing noise. Neither one of us was near it.

I’m beginning to think this thing doesn’t like her or it wants to get her attention. She is a believer in spirits, but I think things in my house is starting to spook her. I might have to get a new cleaning lady!

Sincerely, Nancy Abbott

Does Salt Really Ward Off Evil?

Does salt actually have some sort of power over ghosts and spirits? If not then how and where did we get the idea?

Salt Crystals - Courtesy wikipedia.org
Salt Crystals – Courtesy wikipedia.org

Spreading or sprinkling salt to ward off ghosts or bad spirits seems to be a common practice around the world. Why is it so widespread a belief?

Oh and one more question – Does the form of the salt make any difference? Is rock salt the same as Morton’s iodized?

I thought I would post a question of my own. I am interested in seeing the replies because this is something I have always wondered about and had a bit of a problem with believing.

Could I have Been Touched By A Ghost?

One morning I woke up, beautiful day, I don’t know how old I was but I was young, (I woke up before everyone else did haha) I was sleeping on the couch, (first time in years!) I woke up and I wanted to sleep a little longer.. I rolled over, back facing the couch so I could see if my mom or dad walked in, I always laid on my arms and had one arm stick off my bed (or in this case couch) I relaxed a bit, next thing I know I feel like I’ve been touched, I think ‘mom?’ I open my eyes. No one.

I ran to my parents room and there was my parents, asleep, (drank a little to much night before,) besides them I was home alone. It felt like some one walked up n touched my arm and walked away. I am 15 now, around January of 2010 I found out from the people who lived there before we did, the house is over 70-80 years old, 1-2 people have died and I am the only one who has ‘felt’ some one, my mom feels it in spirit, felt it in person, thanks, Jan

Is There Anything Paranormal About A Mirror?

There are lots of stories and tv shows about mirrors being portals to other dimensions, traps for ghosts or souls and other weirdness.

In reality is there anything to a mirror having magical weird properties? Or is it just very old special mirrors like antiques or something?

What Is An EVP?

I am fairly new to reading about ghosts and the paranormal. Earlier this morning I read a story on another site and the person was talking about an EVP and a demon that was talking to him. I was like WHAT? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Now I am real interested to know if EVPs are real and if so then what in the world are they and how would a regular person be able to make one?

Sorry if my question seems dumb. Before this morning I had never heard of EVP
