moved into a brand new apartment a year ago, some weird stuff occuring

I honestly think you;re freaking yourself out. Coldspots are everywhere - in a paranormal sense its extremely localised coldspots that are of interest .. as in large temperature drops in one very small area ... if you find you experience cold spots, take out a lighter and make sure it isnt just a normal draft ... it usually is.

Mist is also quite common and due to its nature, its easy to imagine seeing things in it.

Sounds like a form of poltergiest activity.

CorkMan

It bloody creeps me out.

Dave!

Sounds like this is all being generated (in your head) by fear

Stop worrying about little noises and anomalies and they'll stop being freaky

Your definitely experiencing vivid sensations, OP.

They could be manifestations of your fear about something, or anxiety, stress, etc.
You could be experiencing your own energy from a different time in your life, reflected through your senses in the present. For example anger, frustration or some kind of shock related thing.
You could be sensitive to ghosts/spirits.
You could be picking up residual living energies from somewhere else, a lot of people have natural "paranormal" talents/gifts.
Also, drugs and addictions can influence a person's mood, and sometimes cause visual and aural phenomena.

It might not hurt to remind your higher-self from time to time, that you don't wish to experience these sensations anymore. Perhaps say a prayer.
You could even go so far as to say a mantra (affirmation) out loud a few times every day.. something like, "These paranormal experiences don't bother me", or "I will not allow this (in my) to disturb my life".

However, if you think it is some kind of natural gift, you may want to get some information or advice from an expert.

You mentioned meditation, how are the vivid experiences when you meditate or are very relaxed, are they still as strong?

Do you feel there has been any kind of communication, or did the experiences leave you with a sense you had to do something in particular?

What would be your gut feeling on the whole thing?

I think someone is pulling your leg mate.

First things. I am not making up this stuff, I have a slight belief in ghosts but I don't watch any of that most haunted, derek acorah stuff. Let me start:


Sometimes when going to sleep I feel something gliding up against my sheets, or else sometimes pulling at the bottom of my legs. You know when you meditate and feel really relaxed, and your body seems out of proportion, that feeling? That is the part that seems to be pulled. Like a part of my body being pulled away.

After 6 months of moving in I put up new drawers. The 1st night they were up I was asleep in bed and heard one being slammmed, I live by myself like. My heart was pounding but nothing more occured. It is weird cos i'd think of something being there, and these "pulling" at the bottom of my legs happen. One other time I heard the washing machine being "kicked", a loud noise against it.

Another incident occured in which I was putting toast into the toaster, and there was a penny on top of my fridge and it flipped over by itself, right in front of my eyes. Other times I saw what paranornal investigators call an "orb" flying in front of me. This place has only been up for 1 year, yet this stuff happens. I don't feel threatened, the only hardline physical symptoms are my heart beating faster when I heard these things.

Anyone have an explanation?

i would strongly disagree

CorkMan

If anyone has ever done deep breathing, you feel as if you have an "energy field" around your body, something fluctuates through your ligaments. Well the energy field is what is being stimulated when I feel the perceived presence.

BTW i'm a solid 20 stone, so I am not afraid of physically being attacked by anyone. Just the creepiness of it all, the unknown.

Why? I understand many people will not believe poltergeist activity exists but i think it does. Be it spirit or something else, i think it exists. And i understand people will point to something else being the reason.

But i think the OP should set up cameras and try to video the areas he believes were this activity is happening. If he gets anything interesting, then that is good.

Iv always said, the paranormal is about proving it to yourself, no one else.

That is a good case regarding poltergeist acitivty.

Staying in my Dads ATM.

I went to sleep at 1AM this morning, left on the computer as I need the online alarm clock and I offed the lights. I woke up at 4.30 AM with the lights on....

I get them same pulling vibrations here now. I was watching the TV with my Dad the other day and felt them, my Dad felt them aswell. An other time I heard in my bedroom upstairs a thud on the floor, not sure what it was. Not walking noises but a thud. My dad did aswell.

Have you killed anyone recently?
This paranormal activity seems to be following you around, which is pretty strange...........

In all honesty, and not trying to be condescending about it, have you gone to see your doctor about this?

CorkMan

I don't suffer from any hallucinations or the like. I suffered from depression a few years back, got prescribed medication for it by a psychiatrist. He didn't notice anything funny.

The more you focus on this stuff, the more you will notice. I have been known to turn on lights in my sleep, and all houses make noises. I dont want to belittle your experience in any way, but at times like this when youre getting this stuff happening, that is the time when you need to be at your most grounded. Which means NOT giving it your attention, but moving your thoughts to more normal things. If you hear odd noises, decide its just the house settling. The pulling sensation is just one of those things you get. Dont allow your mind to build on them in a frightening way. Stay real. Practical things to ground you are cooking, eating, exercise, work. Anything that occupies you physically. Ive been through stuff like this, and I promise you the strategy works.

With the drawers I know the precise sound of it opening and closing, and the sounds of what happens in the kitchen. It was the drawer alright.

The washing machine was a very loud noise, within the vicinity of my apartment, not a loud noise leaked through the walls to my apartment, ie a muffled sound.

you said that the drawers incident happened on the first night that you got the drawers so how could you have known what the noise was for sure.

I think you were on the verge of sleep and related the noise you heard to the drawers yourself. You are in a apt complex? listen, the way these things were hurled up in this country any vibration at all would have an effect on all the apts in the block. so I think what you are hearing is the noise of the apts. after all you you are only there for six months.

the pulling of the blankets etc is normal - its a state people get into before they fall asleep or just after they wake up - a bit like sleep paralysis. perfectly normal.

Many of us have "orbs" in front of our eyes - that also is normal and I wouldn't worry about it, unless they are chronic and you should seek medical help or go to an eye specialist, but its nothing to do with ghosts. thats my own humble opinion.

With the drawers they are the only things that could make that noise. I have opened and closed them many a time afterwards and they sound is the exact same. If noises don't equal ghosts/paranormal activity/ poltergesists or whatever the term is, what are they?

so in other words the penny fell from the fridge onto the microwave. it did not actually "flip" itself over and land back on the fridge where you said it was in the first place - that was a vibration. nothing more.

Was up in my uncles last night and I felt the same pushing up against my bed linen.

When I straight ahead I see nothing, but I look away for a bit then back against and saw a figure for a second, with a hat and glasses, it was all black. Does anyone big time into ghosts have anything to say on this?

shoudda gone to specsavers???

hah only joking = but joking aside, sounds like you have quite a vivid imagination and automatically think "paranormal" for any noise that you cannot explain. if you first thing of the reality of the sounds and keep the paranormal out of it, you will answer a lot of your own questions.

It didn't fall from the fridge onto the microwave. When you walk in the front door the microwave is right in front of you, and the fridge is around 8 feet away. Plus you swing a door open to get at the fridge. The only way it could have landed from the fridge on he microwave is by disappearing from the fridge and appearing on the microwave. The coin was on the microwave all by itself, and it flipped over and landed on the microwave all by itself.

Because I closed and opened them multiply times that night, and I have opened them many times since and they make the exact same noise which I heard that night. Plus I wasn't almost asleep, I had to get up for college the next morning and was wide awake for 45 minutes. My heard was pumping for a good bit afterwards, it was certainly externally in my apartment.

So... it was on the microwave, and then it was on the microwave. I'm really failing to see anything weird with that.

CorkMan, no offense or anything but your constant misspelling, misplaced words, and grammar mistakes tell me you are grasping at straws to keep your story alive right now.

Err, what? Did you not notice the words "flipped over"??? If you fail to see anything weird with coins flipping over by themselves, don't tell me where you live.

I suppose it is only paranormal if the coin landed on the microwave from the fridge, which is 8 feet away. Not a coin flipping over all by itself.

Keep my story alive? I am reporting highly abnormal stuff that has been happening to me. Don't try to slander me for trying to do something I am not doing.

Think you should look up the meaning of slander mate. I simply don't believe you. I am entitled to that. Saying things like noises must mean ghosts just makes it look like you want it to be paranormal and you are so set on that that you won't accept anything else. If you want to make anyone believe in anything the first thing you have to do is accept and respect that a lot of people won't.

Ghost Girl

Hello Cork man

I recognise some of what you are saying. Firstly calm down...don't let what ever it is frighten you.

Secondly if you cannot find a logical explanation, then you can't and there's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with feeling a presence, what does matter is if you let it disrupt your life.


Thirdly, If you firmly believe its spirits or some thing paranormal then thats fine, go do some thing about it....I can give you some explanations if you want but Im not typing it all up here. PM me if you want that. You always have the option of having the places blessed (properly) even if you're not religious. Do some thing about it to make you more comfortable,,, getting creeped out (while understandable) is not doing you any good!

Of course you are.

If people don't want to believe, that is totally okay.

KeithAFC

The one who truly knows the truth is you. If you believe it to be a spirit, then so be it. You can only think of other reasons but if none of them add up. Then what can you do.

dolphin city

ok, I think you mentioned both a fridge AND a microwave in your posts, but later on you said that the word fridge was a mistake - (you could have edited that on the post so people would not be getting confused).

now for the "flipping coin"

how did you know it flipped. you must have been staring at it BEFORE it moved to know if flipped. Also, when you put the penny down you must have looked t it to see if it was "heads up" or "tails up" to be sure if flipped.

If you only say the penny moving, you don't actually know that it flipped as you would have only seen it AFTER it moved. To really know that if flipped you would have had to have been looking at it Before it moved and have known on what side (heads or tails) the coin was BEFORE it moved.

Even though you are surrounded by other apartments you still refuse to entertain the idea that a vibration from the building could have moved the penny. Also, I have been living in my house for ten years - I still can hear noises that sound like doors opening/closing but I know its just my imagination and it is in fact just the normal noises of a house when the house is silent and people are in bed. These noises happen in the daytime too, but you don't hear them because there are other noises in the house to drown them out tv, radio, music, talking, etc.

CorkMan

I saw the coin flip with my eyes, plus I quite clearly heard it landing. Regards the heads and tails, I didn't know which side. I saw the coin, but I wasn't focusing intently on which side I saw.

It was like I was standing by the microwave waiting for my food to heat up and the coin flipped.

kylith

The microwave was on at the time, and the coin was on the microwave? Microwaves vibrate as the fan spins when they're on. You say that you heard it landing, but you don't say that you saw it in the air. I think that it's possible that the vibration of the microwave rattled the coin on top, making a noise. You heard the noise of the coin rattling but didn't see exactly what happened so your brain attempted to associate the noise with the cause it knew for that noise; the coin landing on the microwave. However the noise was caused not by the coin rising into the air, flipping and then landing, but instead by the coin simply vibrating on top of the microwave.

CorkMan

Downstairs ATM, one of the bedroom doors upstairs opened by itself.

A bedroom window is open, but it is not a windy day and the force wouldn't be strong enough. There was 2 "pushes", 3 seconds apart.

Jumpy

Hi Corkman, are you still on that medication? If you dont mind me asking, if so what type and strength?
