Jeez Tobey, that sounds terrible! It must suck to feel so threatened. I don't think anything's after you because you're a bad person, because you're NOT a bad person. Maybe you just have a bad spirit attached to you, if you really feel that something is there. You need some cats! Let that little orange fella live with you full-time. I know the majority of people here think ghosts are rubbish, but all the really freaky paranormal events that happened at my grandma's house, stopped once she had a few cats.

get a few crucifixes while you're at it
Not saying I'm not happy that the cats helped, and your grandma didn't suffer anymore paranormal activities after getting cats, but for real????
Like cats have mysterious powers or soemthing? Hey, cat's would sure like to think they do
Cats are known to ward off bad spirits, however, I don't think anything in my grandma's house was bad. I think cats (and other animals) can see things we don't. Have you ever seen your cat staring intently at something you can't see? If you don't believe in spirits to begin with then it doesn't really matter *shrug*
Now, you may think I'm crazy but there are literally millions out there who are just as crazy as myself. Based off of what I have experienced first-hand and have confirmed by research, I am a strong believer on life after death and reincarnation. I wouldn't call myself religious (I don't believe in organized religion) but I am most definitely spiritual. These types of occurrences are actually being studied scientifically and I have even found information about how the U.S. government has a yearly budget to research this. Can you imagine what kind of espionage could be done with this ability?
Yeah, cause is the messed-up biorhythm. As for it only 'feeling' real, I'm going to be honest and say I just don't know. You might be right, but I know what imagination-feeling-real is like, and this was much, much more convincing.It feels so intense and real because your misfiring brain sends out the exact same signals as if it would really happen to you.
Everything you're describing are exact symptoms for sleep paralysis. You went from a lucid dream into a semi-awake state and what's so terrifying is your brain projecting dream content over the actual, real perceptions you're getting from waking up.
It doesn't sound like you're suffering from Narcolepsy and you're messed-up biorhythm is most likely the cause, but consulting a doctor wouldn't hurt.
I don't know. I might be. I try not to be, but maybe I am. Hell, I've done some bad things in my life. I think no more than others, but who knows?Jeez Tobey, that sounds terrible! It must suck to feel so threatened. I don't think anything's after you because you're a bad person, because you're NOT a bad person.
Haha, that could be it, though I doubt it. Maybe it's simply that when I'm in that state, I'm in a place where something doesn't want me to be, like it's trying to scare me away.Maybe you just have a bad spirit attached to you, if you really feel that something is there.
That "little orange fella" belongs to the neighbours. I'm not going to steal someone's kitten because I'm having scary episodes.You need some cats! Let that little orange fella live with you full-time. I know the majority of people here think ghosts are rubbish, but all the really freaky paranormal events that happened at my grandma's house, stopped once she had a few cats.
Yeah, scares the shit outta me too. I think it depends on the mindset you have when you first try/get confronted with it. If you're afraid or surprised, the experience is terrifying, if you've done it intentionally and know how to deal with it, the experience is wonderful - and then it's a vicious circle. If you had an awful experience, you'll be even more afraid next time it happens to you.Thankfully I haven't suffered sleep paralysis in several years, not since it happened when I lived in Maryland. And as for astral projection, I'll never do that again. It still scares the crap out of me when I think back on it.
get a few crucifixes while you're at it
That is true.Crucifixes are stupid. Cats are awesome.
No matter. As long as I don't invite them into my house, I should be fine, right?and garlic!!!!!1
Only once when I was a child. Couldn't move for an afternoon. All was well though because Star Trek I-IV were on TV.
I would LOVE to hear about your source for the ground breaking news about the "U.S. government " with the yearly budget to research "the afterlife".
What part of the U.S. government are we talking about? I have friends in MANY high places, you wouldn't even imagine, and I would love to ask them about it. Also, what kind of research? what is the base for it? ghosts? afterlife? souls? What are the conclusions so far? where we can we read the thesis about those researches? and I do want a .gov website, since you know, it's the U.S. government .
and when you say: "being studied scientifically" do you mean they have a machine that measures waves, and head antenas, or are we talking about national labs and a fair amount of scholars and professors dedicating their time, good brains, and resources to study spirits?
Sorry, but I don't buy that.
fucking LOL at "confirmed by research"
