Anyone had any of these?

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

One UFO consisted of two lights side by side moving slowly in one direction, just like stars or a setelite. It stopped abruptly and then WHOOSHED the other way about 5 5 times the speed in which it was traveling.

The second was a big ball of light on the horizon on a clear night. I yelled for dad and by the time he was outside it had vanished.

My mother and sister see supernatural energy and spirits. (mum more) I'm glad I don't. The most i've experienced in this area is a very loud ticking in the wall moving around my room. Mum said it was in their New Plymouth house too.

I think when I was in a hotel/motel once I and a few others saw the outline of a ghost or something in the dark, it kind of looked like a woman. and and of looked like it was made out of the dark itself. Once when I was walking past a door something did not feel right and kind of tried to look in the door but then I got this entire sense of fear, and only thought I had was to get as far away as possible, I think all I had a image of was something about eyes.

Wow, that's really creepy!

A few years ago my sister and I were in the car with mum, and she slammed on the brakes and it gave my sister and I a fright.. we asked her why she stopped. She said she saw a large black cloud or ball of energy right in front of the car. My sister and I didn't see it, it was creepy.

I know what you mean about seeing having feelings of being afraid as I have experienced things like that several times. It's not funny either as those are evil spirits in a very dark world that just like to scare people. Infact, I don't think those are ghosts, they are familiar spirits called demons and they are bullies that love to scare you.

I've had a couple of ghostly happenings.

Where I worked once we were in two big old houses. The one I was in was supposed to be haunted by a young woman. Quite often I was the first person in and I would frequently hear footsteps on the closed-off staircase and in the corridors above my office. One day there were the footsteps followed by a cry for help. I searched the building from top to bottom, but couldn't find anyone.

The other building was supposed to have lots of ghosts. It was so bad at night that Security refused to enter the building and would only do checks from the outside. Colleagues who worked there said there'd be nights when all the heavy fire doors would start banging open and shut wildly.

Security used to come round in pairs; one would stay in the car and one would check the buildings. One evening the guy out of the car came back to find the driver white and shaking. When he asked what had happened the driver said he'd just reversed over a young woman - the other guy checked, but there was no-one there. 8O

My worst experience was in another old house. I went into a room, tried one set of lights, which didn't work. Walked into the room to reach a second set and all the doors banged shut, so I was shut in in the pitch black. I ran like hell, climbing over the furniture, and wrenched the door open to get out. Someone else went in there another time with all the lights on and as they entered the room there was a big crackle and all the lights went out.

Maybe it was someone playing a practical joke, but usually you find out at some point (I don't think practical jokers find it much of a "joke" if they can't laugh at their victims afterwards). The feelings though were very oppressive.

I happened to have quite a lot of prophetic dreams, usually concerning those not very important issues of ordinary life but when my grandmother was lethally ill some years ago, I told her I'd like to see her in her astral form after her death if it would be possible.

It didn't happen though but not that long after her death of cancer, I started to dream about her very often. Those dreams vere extremaly realistic even if didn't belong to those so called lucid ones. In one of them, gran informed me that somebody in my aunt's home was to die. Few months later it turned out the first anniversary of my grandmother's death was also the day of uncle's funeral - here I should add in that time he was healthy so nobody could expect it.

I have always found the supernatural pretty interesting, having had friends and family members who say they have had these kind of experiences. I have never had one myself, despite spending a while alone in a building some consider haunted. A hiking partner will not go to a certain location anymore because she thinks it is haunted. I go there alone several times a week and experience nothing unusual.

my story, always wanted to experience something like that but never did. now i wonder whether it is not just a different way of looking at the same thing.

For the whole time? Gutted. It was cloudy when I came home from work, but with a few hours persistance it cleared. It looked like Mars would if it was a lot closer. It was one of the mose awesome things i've ever seen.

Wow, that's amazing, I believe people come to you in your dreams when they pass.

I would have been too scared to move.
