supernatural encounters

[seaj11]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever had a supernatural encounter? (Ghosts, angels, demons, ESP, etc.) I myself have had one: I dreamed about the Columbia spacecraft crash the night before it happened.

1. I have this ESP thing with my identical twin brother.

We say the same things at exactly the same times. We even think the same stuff at the same time.

Weird, eh?

2. My unidentical twin sister (who is not a blood relative)

My unidentical twin sister--we're not actually related but we should be--always calls me when I'm feeling particularly depressed.

3. Yeah, a number of them

The oddest concerned a boy I knew in high school. Didn't know him well at all but he was in one of my classes. I had a vivid dream one night that I was walking in the woods and I came to a cabin. I walked in and saw this guy in there - he had been shot in the head and he was dead.

I woke up sweating and saw that it was about 3 in the morning. The following day, my friend, whose parents were paramedics, called to tell me that this same boy had been shot in the head the night before - her parents had been on the call. It had happened about 3 am.

Only difference was, he didn't die. The bullet missed everything vital. But it was very, very strange.

4. I dreamed about United Airlines...

and wobbly planes all goddamned night last night. I think it's because of this 'United' crap the 'pubs are pushing and the 'wobbly' democracy we now have. Planes in my dreams mean I'm headed for personal change. That's about as supernatural as it gets here.

(Sorry. I'm in a bear of a mood tonight and I will now go to bed, so DU is safe!)

5. Yes, I dreamed about 911 in 1989

Feel free to REALLY call me a tin foil hatter now... but with a few differences I think I saw 911 in a dream in 1989.

A Friend, told me that I must have heard reports about a small plane that crashed into the empire state building in the 30's or 40's at the time that I had the dream, but this was several planes (out of Le guardia though) and they crashed into the world trade center.

Does it mean anything? Who knows...because I have a fear of tall buildings and flying so it could have been my subconscious.

[ilovenicepeople]

20. I had a vision the day before 911 of a plane hitting a tall building.

the next morning I turned on the TV(CNN) about 20 seconds before the 2nd. plane hit the tower,exactly the same as my vision.The day before I was sitting in my garden when I heard a plane go overhead,I noticed that the engine was very loud as that made me picture that plane flying into a highrise.Seeing that the plane I saw was flying into Vancouver I thought,"was that building in Vancouver?" it did'nt seem familier so I thought what city was that ,that I had invisioned? I came to the conclusion that it was Hong Kong.I also saw the plane hitting from differant vantage points,and did'nt think anything of it until the next day.Also I will tell you the words that came out of my mouth when I saw that plane on 911:"How can they do that to their own people?" I was not into "conspiracy theories" at that time (I proudly wear my:tinfoilhat: now)but I just knew who was behind it all,it's a gut feeling that I have and it's never steered me wrong before.Besides that with all the evidence out there now one would have to be stupid or blissfully ignorant to not want to face reality.:scared:

6. I dont know if this counts exactly but it was something

but when i was 17 my mother was terminally ill, i took care of her along with the good people of hospice and for a year or so i never went out except to go to school or work, it was a pretty sad situation all aound. Anyhow, my Mom seemed to be taking a turn for the better and she pleaded with me to go out and have some fun, so i did, it was a friday night and i went rollerskating with my friends. We got to the rink at around 7:00 pm on a friday night and when we were getting out a hearst pulled right up next to us in the parking lot. the hairs in the back of my neck stood up and i got a chill down my spine. We left early at around 9:30, i wanted to get home, when i got there i was met at the door by a home health aid and she told me my mother had died at 7:05 pm.

7. I encountered a ghost...

My fiance and I went to stay in a Bed and Breakfast in Gettysburg, PA that is suppose to be haunted. In the middle of the night I woke up wide awake, something that is VERY odd for me. I woke up with a strong feeling something was wrong. I waited and a few seconds later a book that was sitting on my bedside table all night suddenly fell to the floor. I sat straight up and turned on the light. A minute or so later the sound of a heavy object possibly a trunk was dragged across the ceiling above our room. Our room was below the attic which was empty and locked (we investigated the next morning). I awoke my fiance but the sound had stopped and he did not hear it. I decide that I was letting my imagination play tricks on me and decided no matter what, I was not going to say anything more. The next morning we were sitting in the room, I was reading and Todd was packing some of our things when the door knob to our room began turning and rattling on its own. Todd went to the door and opened it. No one was there. He returned to the bed and once again began packing, within seconds the door started again. This is a very old building and the floors squeaked terribly, we have been unable to figure out how someone could have gotten near the door without us hearing the walking on the floor. Then just as we were about to leave, in the room next to ours, we heard heavy footsteps almost like boots pacing across the floor. The only problem is that the footsteps only went in one direction. From the door of the room over to the window, from the door to the window over and over again. The footsteps never walked in the opposite direction. As we were checking out we asked about the room next to ours. It was under construction and no one was working or staying in there. None of this is proof of course and I believed in ghost before we went but my very logical fiance did not and he witnessed all but two of the events.

My little ghost experience.

8. I used to work in a historic home

that was built in 1870. I worked there 10 years and other people always heard bells, laughing, footsteps and stuff like that when they were the only people in the house, but I never experienced anything. The home was sold to new owners that would not be opening it for public tours, so our last weeks were spent doing inventories and mundane crap before we all started collecting our unemployment.

The night before my last day at work, I had a horrible nightmare. I never have nightmares, so it really freaked me out. In my dream, I was inside the house in the downstairs library library looking out the windows into the garden. All of a sudden I felt something behind me. I turned around and there was this black-hooded figure that I couldn't really make out real well, but an urgent sense of fright and danger came over me. I ran out of the library, accidentally knocking the table in the middle of the room. I heard the vase of flowers that was on the table hit the floor, but didn't turn around to check it out. After I ran out of the library, I ran into the parlor and my leg got hooked around the foot of the stool in front of the piano and I fell. I remember trying to get up and run so the "thing" wouldn't get me. I got up and as I was trying to run away I tripped on the throw rug in front of the parlor table and hit my arm on the edge of the table. I threw open the parlor doors and ran into the hallway, and was attempting to open the dining room doors so I could run through the dining room and out of the house, but the doorknob came off in my hand. I could hear the "thing" breathing behind me and I closed my eyes and screamed as the "thing" grabbed my forearms. My screaming must have woke me up at that point. My heart was racing, and I figured I better get up and get a glass of water to calm down. I looked at the clock to see what time it was, because I figured I would not be getting any more sleep that night...and it was midnight on the dot. What a freaky coincidence, I thought. I finally got back to sleep about 4:00 in the morning.

The next morning, I got up around 6:00 AM to get ready to go to work. I got ready to take a shower, and when I turned around and saw myself in the mirror, I just about threw up. I had bruises on my arms, my elbow, my knee and my ankle. After being really shaken by all this, I knew I couldn't stay home on my last day at work, so I got in the car and headed on in. When I got there, there were police cars up at the house. I went there to see what they were doing. When I got out of my car in front of the house, one of the tour guides came running and told me that they had called the police because the house had been broken into the prior night. I asked what had been taken. They said that they were doing an inventory, and it didn't appear that anything had been stolen, but there was stuff broken and tossed around inside the house. I really didn't want to know, but I asked what had been damaged. She told me that the vase on the downstairs library table had been knocked off the table onto the floor and had been broken, the piano stool was in the middle of the parlor, the rug in the parlor was all balled up, and the door knob on the dining room door was missing, in addition to the dining room door looking like it had been "clawed" by some kind of animal.

This incident almost put me in the psychiatric ward. I was a mess for weeks. I cried all of the time, and kept wondering why, and what whatever it was was trying to tell me. Thank God I didn't have to get up everyday and go to work, because I couldn't have done it. This was 5 years ago, but I remember it like yesterday, and I know I'll never forget it.

13. Wow - that would have left me a bit shaken for a while as well!

Very interesting...

[finecraft]

15. That's the only time in my life I have had a nightmare

O.K. with the exception of November 2nd, never had any before then or since. I read in the paper last week that the house has new owners and they want to open it up for tours again. But I won't go back - ever. I always thought I was a sane, rational person, but after that happened I really thought I had lost it. I can't explain it, don't want to think about it, and hope it never, ever happens again.

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Thanks

I just had a nightmare about watching a TV show where there were a group of people (X files cast, plus some other people) and a BLACK SHADOWY SPIRIT that was waiting for someone to use the phone so that he could start flipping out and kill the electricity and scream BEWARE OR DIE.
Thanks for that. I still can't get it out of my head.

[SarahB]

9. yes

[JohnKleeb]

10. how did that happen?

and the answer to the question is yes but I dont wanna go in to it.

[goodboy]

11. The Butterfly Effect.

I believe that I have had psychic ability since I was very young. It has gotten stronger, and more recurrent as I've gotten older.

It's hard to explain, but for those who've seen the movie the Butterfly Effect, it's like that. Non-physical time travel, or ESP. I get just a piece of the picture...enough to make what's happening eerily familiar to me to the point of knowing what is going to happen before it happens, and what people are going to say before they say it.

In addition. I've felt my mom's presence several times since she passed away in 1995. My room was downstairs in the basement, and once I was alone in the hose I heard footsteps upstairs...I went up there to investigate, and in the hallway I could smell her...you know what I mean? people have a smell that's specific to them. I think that children recognize their parents sub-consciously in this way.

[Mr_Spock]

14. Yes, I can relate to the "picture" that you see. It's like a warning to

prepare you for an impending shock to your system. It almost makes me feel like a shocking event in ones life can somehow transcend space/time - like the shock travels back in time and that is what you feel, sense and even see pictures of. It's happened to me so many times that I have deliberately not looked/asked to see these things. It's too goddamned scary!

[goodboy]

17. The only thing I can compare it to, is Deja Vu, but deja vu typically

lasts only a split-second. These events last minutes for me, and I usually need someone to 'snap' me out of it by doing something unexpected. Unless they do, the event continues.

[Mr_Spock]

18. Yes! I was watching the house burn and I knew what I was going to say

next from the dream. It was like I was detached from my body as my mouth said the words that were "programmed" for that part of the dream - which had essentially turned into a very very long deja vu. Of course I had had this same dream/vision dozens of times previously - I knew it like the back of my hand! Creepy!

[Mr_Spock]

12. Saw people close to me die in visions/dreams before they died for real

Saw a house fire before it happened (dream replayed in real time as I looked up at our burning house). Got some lottery numbers once when I asked (I know I'm not supposed to ask for things like that). I know we are going to have a very awful event under GWB and it is going to be entirely his own doing (had this dream/vision in Jan 2001). I wanted to believe 9/11 was it because I was sure an idiot like him couldn't be reelected. I am in a permanent state of shock now because he now has the opportunity to allow this disaster to happen. I'm not a weird person either. :D

[Mr_Spock]

24. Just to document

The sky is red.
Tall buildings are broken in half and on thier sides.
There are fires burning everywhere.
People are running around screaming red-faced.

[donco6]

16. Several.

Once when I was little, the clothes in my closet rearranged themselves while I watched. Never slept with the door open again.

I had a little toy rocker in my room that rocked by itself. My sister saw it, too.

On edit. Also, I live in an old house, and several times I've heard women chatting and laughing as I walked up the stairs to bed. (I'm married to another man).

[GingerSnaps]

21. I had an encounter with a demon on Tuesday night

I saw the Devil rise out of hell and declare that he won the Presidency.

:evilgrin:

ESP Yes I had a sinking feeling that I was dating the wrong guy.

Angels Possibly because I almost got killed one time by a man that tried to rape me in the alley behind my house and a lady came by and he ran off. I had hand marks on my neck from where he tried to choke me and it's an experience that you never forget :scared:.

[Borgnine]

22. Not really supernatural, but I've seen a UFO.

When I was very young, about three or four, I was in my backyard in the middle of the day when a large spinning black thing appeared overhead. It didn't make a sound and stayed over my head for several minutes before leaving. It scared the shit out of me at the time, but now I really want to see something of that nature again. It's a shame I "peaked" so soon in life, but it installed in me at a tender age an open-mind to any possibility.

[Cornjob]

23. Two incidents...

The first involved my infant son. I had a dream in which something miraculous happened. I told my wife about it when I awoke. She said that she hoped it would happen. The next day, it happened exactly as I had envisioned it. The whole thing scared both of us.

The second time involved my late father. His voice came to me as though he were sitting next to me in the car as I was driving. It was at that point that I realized he had died. Immediately I continued to my parents' home and found my Dad had died.

Kinda weird.
