What Was That Ringing Bell Sound?

A few years ago, every night around the same time, my small child and I would hear a bell tinkling outside the window.

We live in a rural area with no neighbors, and it was incredibly perplexing. It sounded like a little hand bell.

Any ideas what this might have been?

Is There a Demon in My Home?

I moved in a mobile home outside of Hinesville Georgia we had a roommate staying with us he and my son said there were ghosts in our home well I laughed at them then a couple months later my daughters bedroom door opened by itself she started getting scared. I laid in my bed talking to her then I saw this thing sitting on the floor with its legs bent its knees were by it’s head it had a long tongue and really long teeth. I was so scared I couldn’t move I got to the point I wouldn’t even go past my couch.

I wouldn’t go to the bathroom alone so I was home alone one day about 2 weeks later and decided I was going to take a nap. I woke up gasping for air I felt like I had fallen into my body. I laid there for a second and felt something tapping my shoulder there wasn’t anything there then I heard a growl across the room and there was the same demon sitting there staring at me with a long tongue long black hair his skin was grey he had black eyes and I really don’t know I was sitting there in fear but when my husband came home I heard the door open and when I looked back at the spot where this thing was at it was gone.

Can anyone tell me what this is or what it may mean? All I know is I’ve never been so scared in my life.

Is It Possible To Get Pregnant By An Incubus?

I have been having Incubus experiences since January, I was too scared to stop it. It would come to me as soon as I lay in bed.

At first I wondered why it didn’t come to me because I was getting used to it, and then on the Monday I started my monthly ‘gift’. But it’s not a heavy flow like it used to be, it’s just drips of blood. I usually tuck in my stomach when I exercise but I can’t tuck it in as much, it feels as though there’s a little body in there.

I went to the doctor and he pressed in, he looked shocked but didn’t say anything. Before this happened, I kept having dreams that I was pregnant and single. The child was always a boy with blonde hair, in the end the child would grow up to be evil no matter what I told him as a young boy.

Yesterday, when I was listening to music I could feel a hand touch my stomach but nobody was doing it. I felt comforted but when I felt that hand on my stomach, I would always feel a slight foot kick from inside me. I’m scared, if I’m not pregnant I would be relieved but if I am I don’t know what I’ll do, I do not have a boyfriend nor have I had intercourse with a human.

What Right Does The Catholic Church Have to Decide What Merits an Exorcism?

What right does the Catholic Church have to lay grounds and regulations about what merits an exorcism and what does not?

Jesus and his disciples performed exorcisms many times and did not ask a central religious body for permission.

If a demon is possessing someone then an exorcism should be carried out straight away.

What Are These Shadow Men?

I am 54 years old. Every since I can remember, I have awoke in the middle of the night to see three shadow men reflected on my bedroom wall. They have always been together and always look the same……. from the busts up, one always wearing top hat and trench coat.

They have moved with me in life. I have noticed that when they appear, something SIGNIFICANT changes in my life. They used to scare me… I can go years without seeing them, other times I see them two or three nights in a row.

I figure they are some sort of paranormal entities preparing me for a life change. They no longer scare me.

What are these shadow men?

Are Orbs in Photographs Paranormal?

I would really like to know what causes orbs and strange shapes in photos. I have always been convinced that they were ghosts or perhaps some other types of spirits until recently I was reading somewhere that they are not paranormal.

I would like to hear about this and to know the truth about orbs because I really think that they are somehow paranormal related.

Vision and Dreams What Are They All About?

I have always had visions and dreams, Whitney Houston came to me the night she died, and I would like to know why. In the dream people were looking for her but could not see her but I could she was standing there looking like a doll, I could see her but the people that were looking for her could not see her. My husband woke me up and said she had just died.

At the time I did‘t know why I as telling him not to go. But he went anyway and when he arrived he got robbed and he was shot in the head and died that night.

What is this all about please help me?

Unexplainable Nightmares

Tonight I’m just chilling at home..downloaded a good movie but I still haven’t looked at it since my attention is totally drawn to this interesting website..After reading a few stories I’m not hesitating to share mine and I’m hoping I’ll find an answer to it.

I’ve always been a girl who dreams a lot at night, I can even still remember some weird dreams from the past, and somewhere I read it was unusual to remember a dream for a too long. My dreams are amazingly realistic and usually follow a whole scenario, with my friends, family and myself involved in it.

Those dreams are definitely not nice, or at least don’t give me a good feeling. I try not to pay too much attention and believe that dreams are based on daily life impressions but there is this nightmare which scares me to death, especially the fact that it’s repetitive. It’s a challenge to describe it in English but even in my native language too. I think it occurs when I’m already sleeping deeply, so it’s not one of those short dreams people have when they’re falling asleep.. it comes later in my sleep. It’s like a dream in a dream-suddenly I can’t breath and in my dream I’m sure this is really happening (so for a minute I don’t realize it’s a dream) but at the same time it’s like I’m watching myself from above the bed, and I feel physical pain, something inexplicably scary goes all over my body-legs, stomach, breasts.. then I dream that I’m trying to wake up from it, trying real hard and then I (really) wake up all in cold sweat and strong heart beat. (so in my dream I’m putting efforts to escape the pain by waking up).

It’s so bad that I’m even scared to fall asleep again. But if this nightmare occurs it’s only once a night, not more (thank God!) I got it very, very often. And this is eating me.. cause at some point I’m thinking – when you dream you see images, you don’t really feel anything physically, am I right?

So in brief, in my nightmare I’m observing myself sleeping from above, then the pain comes (it actually resembles to the feeling you get underwater when you don’t have any air left) And I’m screaming to myself “It’s just a nightmare!!” and then for my surprise I REALLY wake up stressed out, sweaty. It is a dream in a dream? And it’s exactly the same every time.

I never had it before in my childhood or teenage years.. I’ve been like this for the last couple of months. I’m a joyful, young girl (22), absolutely love life and enjoy every day of it. But 2011 wasn’t very good to me.. My boyfriend who I really loved left me, my parents divorced, I failed in university, and had to quit.. All those things crushed me, and I dedicated myself to partying harder than ever, drinking more etc., trying to forget.. Frankly my life is now a mess. So anyone.. help?

What could my nightmares be, do you think they mean anything? Do you think there’s a reason for them? I know this site is for paranormal stories but to me my nightmare is extraordinary, and believe me if you’d been through this, you’d agree with me. Well,I guess I wrote a whole novel over here. Thank you in advance for your reply!

Greetings, G.

What Was Panting?

Well last night about 12:30 am, I was attempting to fall asleep. I tossed and turned. Finally just getting comfy my door starts to creek. I could hear my boyfriend breathing but in between his breathes and right next to me (he was facing towards the door so away from me). What ever it was, was right next to me spooning? But breathing rapidly like panting! It lasted about 5 minutes.

I was pretty freaked out never had something that close to me/or touching me that closely! I did feel fear. After that my dreams came and vivid! It was me all twisted I can hardly explain it but I can remember it, almost like a picture in my head.

I was on an old chair in an old grave yard maybe? And I was tied up and I was smiling but not a good smile. And then I opened my eyes and something ran out of the room I went around and looked but no one was there any ideas?

Was This a Demon Spirit?

I Woke up to earthquake no one else felt, claw scratches down face.

I am a little freaked out over what I experienced last night. I was asleep in my bed, my dog Jinx at the foot of the bed, and suddenly started by a loud noise (like a car crash) and the shaking of my single wide trailer. I believed it to be an earthquake at the time which was 2:36am. My dog was barking. I worried about my mother next door because she is very hung up on earthquakes and the “End Times.” I thought for sure she would be calling me, but she never did.

I got up, looked around and everything seemed to be fine. I’ll hear about it on the news in the morning right? Went back to bed and fell asleep. I would say about 30-40 minutes later, I had a quick flash of a friend’s Facebook profile pic and a text message saying “whoa! Are you alright?” and then I felt the most aggressive, powerful swipe across my face. It felt like a bear had just clawed my face into hamburger meat. I FELT IT. I put my hand to my face – I was bleeding.

I was scared to move for a bit, trying to figure out an explanation. When I looked in the mirror – 2 claw marks starting at the top of right eye, across cheek to my nose. My dog was not startled by this though unlike the “earthquake.” He was sound asleep. I was awake awhile. scared. Praying. Talking to my dad who I just lost not too long ago. I have had experiences before, but never demonic. Mine have always been positive connections to the other side for the most part. I go back and try to rest in my bed about 4am.

I have long closet mirrors and as I lay there I see what looks like 2 silhouette’s – basically featureless interior. One was a tall, dark shadow. The other was light I guess, I just saw a bright, shiny light beam from it. The light was trying to push the dark back. The dark very persistent on grabbing towards me, trying to move towards me. I felt like I was in a trance watching this. I don’t know how long I watched this? For a moment I thought the light was my dad and I called to him. I closed my eyes and said 3x’s “I rebuke you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” It went away.

I talked to my best friend this morning. she said she had nightmares of a demon in her home and after her the same night. she has never dreamed anything like it before in her life. She was scared.

What’s going on? Why is this happening to me?
