I once predicted what was inside a care package mailed to me at college--a tiny stuffed cat made of real rabbit fur.

But I imagine this is not entirely out of the realms of probability; eventually, things like that have to happen, just because there are a lot of packages and a lot of people wondering what is in them. Someone has to guess right on an obscure object eventually.

I have lucid dreams regularly. This is a proven phenomenon, and not paranormal, but sounds like it when you describe it!

Your dream of getting up to go to the bathroom sounds like a lucid dream; sometimes, rather than gaining awareness while you are dreaming, you simply don't lose it while falling asleep. I'd also categorize it as a "false awakening"--a dream in which you believe you have woken and get out of your dream bed as though you had. While falling asleep, every once in a while I will get the weird feeling that I have two "bodies", one, my physical body. and the other the one my brain manufactures when I'm dreaming.

Dreams are weird. And interesting. But I don't think there's anything very paranormal about them!

I seem to have a limited precognitive ability. I can sometimes predict with uncanny accuracy what wil happen in the next few seconds. This is especially apparent when watching movies or TV.

Are you sure you aren't just good at patterns? A TV show plot is a pattern; so are real-life events. Not that pattern-matching is something trivial; it's a really amazing skill, especially if you have a high level of it.

Also, remember that one tends to remember correct predictions more than incorrect ones!

I dreamed about all my sock creatures getting burned up before it happened.
Precog stuff seems to sort of run in the family...I am not as strong as my dad or his brother or even my sister.
And my mom is an abductee.

You've got a point there. BTW I noticed in your sig that you are an asexual Christian. How fortunate for you, not having to worry about committing any sexual sins. Sometimes I think my life as a Christian and a man would be so much easier w/o a sex-drive. But then again, sex is a gift from God ...

Visits stopped when gran followed advice of older inhabitants of her village who had bigger experience with paranormal entities :lol: :lol: :twisted: and started to put a sickle under her bed before going to bed which scared the "demon" away :lol: :twisted:

Maybe thats why sometimes I wake up after intense orgasms? Creepy.

Anyone had any of these?

I've seen two UFOs, and had sleep paralysis once, and that's about it.


I had sleep paralysis almost every night from 80/82-97. Is/was it painful for you? I experienced level 8 pains with this (on the doctors scale of 1-10).


It was less painful and more like a sense of helplessness. I was drifing in and out of a sleep state several times. I did not open my eyes until I woke properley.

Oh hell I would, if they were from another planet! If They are technologically advanced, I don't see why that would make them uninterested in Earth. It's still another planet, another world. Even if it doesn't give them the element of surprise.

I'm pretty sure there have been spirits in this house in the past. My mother has seen a lot of stuff. An old lady sitting in the corner, and mum talked to her and told her to move on, she looked at mum and then vanished.'

Mum has also seen balls of energy red, dark and fast. Then there is the ticking, like a ghost playing tricks. When our little cat died, Mum saw heaps of ghosts of cats on her bed every night for about two weeks. She touched them and her hand went through them.

She's told me about awful things she's seen in the past, probably the ghosts of horrible people. I'm glad I haven't seen things, It would scare me too much.

She also saw two men talking on the porch, she told dad to look and they wern't there.

Anyone here control their dreams? I seem to always know i'm dreaming, and control the dream to my liking. If I don't like the way i's going i'll force it to change.

Also, who has those experiences like you're slipping over or falling then you wake up with a jolt? Those are awful. Mine are usually slipping over, so it's like my spirit re-enters my body foot first then slides in. I had a falling one recently, I was dreaming that I fell off a tall building onto concrete, and when I should have hit the ground I woke with a jolt.

lol people, you really believe this stuff?


I'm certainly not pulling it out of my ass. :roll:


Now that would be truly supernatural, slowmutant. :lol:

I have had so many supernatural or paranormal incidents in my life that I can not deny that they occur. However, I find that talking about them (to nonbelievers) is never a good thing, as it tends to make you lose credibility. Being on the spectrum is hard enough at times, relating my paranormal experiences seems to make people even more antagonistic towards me. So "mums the word" with me. There's a great TV show called "Paranormal State" which documents these types of experiences. A group of students from Penn State University investigating hauntings and such. Very good show and very educational at the same time.

Wow that is just too weird. That must have freaked you out seeing yourself sleeping. Do you have any recollection of returning to the body?



Oh yeah.... lol I seriously don't think this is something one can forget...
i guess to try and describe the feeling.... it felt like a vacuum sucking all of the pieces back to where they belonged.


and almost forgot... there was one time when i was like 10...I woke up one night....and my family was just...GONE...no i wasn't sleeping walking, i was wide awake and seriously freaked out... circled the whole house... all the lights were on (well except my bedroom light)...and the garage was open... all the cars were there... when I questioned it in the morning... my parents said they were there the whole time...I never did find out what the deal was.

and there was a time when i was like 18...i was in the bathroom and just happened to look at myself in a mirror...and there was a neon green medium sized spider crawling in my hair... i freak, and then used a towel to smash it... i expected it to fall dead to the floor but there was...NOTHING... i went out to tell someone...and they just laughed at me...

pretty weird stuff huh....all of my instances were spaced out over the years....so in between each thing...i never really gave it much thought, until a new occurrence happened.

Maybe once possibly, when two coworkers went on a ghost tour and said the ghosts were following them, then suddenly behind me the garbage can moved and the water cooler bubbled at the same time 8O

Seriously, you creationists believe in nonsense superstitions (which all can be scientifically explained, one-by-one)

And your superstitions are not nonsense?
