Ouiga Board

How should I know?

All I know for fact is there is something in the sky that we don't know what it is.

Joe Dirt thought he was eating his food off a ufo from space but it turned out to be just a big ol' frozen chunk of poopy.
 
My aunt said that after my uncle died, she cleaned out his wallet and stored it with his belt (it had his name engraved on it) and his watch in a shoebox under her bed. She said that same night, my uncle woke her up and told her that there was money hidden in the wallet in a place she hadn't seen and even told her the amount. The next morning she got it out to prove she had just dreamed it but sure enough she found the money exactly where he said and to the exact dollar amount.
 
I've only had 2 experiences that I sort of count, but before I tell that, has anyone else here ever experienced sleep paralysis? I used to have it often, and it was a very scary experience. The first time it happened I heard a lot of weird scary voices, and I swear I saw an old lady standing at the foot of our bed. And when I say scary voices, I mean a lot of mean whispering and hissing. And it felt like someone was pushing down on my chest.

But....after doing some research I found out that it all happened because my mind was conscious yet also half in a dream state. So the voices I heard and the woman I "saw" was all my mind. The pushing on the chest/trouble breathing is also a known symptom. Very scary though and I can see where people would think they are being haunted. Now when I get one I just stay calm and I "wake up" after a few minutes.

Saying all that, one instance happened that was different. I had it happen one time and for about 10 seconds I was above the bed "watching" myself sleeping. I had been sick and went bed early and my wife was not in bed, and during that 10 seconds, from above, I saw her come in the room and pick up her phone and walk out. I woke up and called for my wife and I asked if she just came into the room and got her phone and she said "yeah like 5 seconds ago. I thought you were asleep." Now I still believe I could have been in the dream state and my mind was just recreating what I was hearing, but still...kind of a bit eerie.

I did have one other experience I can't explain. My wife was out of town and back then I used a humidifier and when she's away, I leave a radio on all night for background noise. I had both on when I went to sleep. When I woke up, the humidifer and radio were both not just off but unplugged. Could have done it in my sleep but I'm not known as a sleepwalker/sleep do thing...er.
 
I wouldn't have believed my aunt except that this lady doesn't even believe man walked on the moon! For her to tell something like that - I knew it had to have happened.
 
I get sleep paralysis all of the time. I hate it. I never know when it's going to happen. I sometimes think I have out of body experiences, also. I can't really explain those... I've always been weird like this.

A friend of mine that's really into that type of stuff about geeked out when I told him. He was convinced I had an out of body experience and told me next time it happened to try and float around. I told him it wasn't exactly a great experience for me, i.e. I didn't like it.
 
so we just did the ouija board for like 3 hours. i'm not sure if my friends were trying to freak me and my roommate out, but everytime me and him would do it, it wouldn't move. yet everytime we did it with someone else it would move..

creepy
 
Back a few years ago soon after graduating high school, me and my dad went on a small vacation down to New Orleans. While we were there we stayed at the Inn on Bourbon Hotel. The hotel itself is built upon the site of the 1st ever opera house in the United States, which burned down back in the early 1900s. So there was already alot of history there.

Anyway, a night ot two into our trip, we heard music, specifically, of the opera variety, coming from the room next door. This went on for a few more nights and it was kind of creepy but we just thought there were some people next door having some fun.

We go to check out though a few days later and we ask about the people staying next door to us, and we explained about the music. The person up front then goes on to tell us that nobody had been checked into the room next to us for an entire week or so.:blink:

Here's the place we stayed for those interested:

Before I was born in the late 50's Mom and Dad bought a place that nobody wanted because of it's reputation. It was a really nice 2 story colonial with a balcony. On the balcony a woman was killed by a lightning bolt. It was located in the cherry creek area of White county,Tn.
Mom told me a few of the things that happened there but made it clear she'd not tell me everything that happened there. One was she had made a white cake with banana icing, and left it on the kitchen table. When they returned from errands she said all the icing had left the cake, was in an inch wide trail across the table, on the floor towards the back door. It had also turned the color of lime green.
Another was my grandpa stayed with them for a time, sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. He'd close the door and wake up soon to find it open. He grew tired of this and dragged a walnut dresser with a huge oval mirror in front of the door to block it. An hour later he awoke, dresser still there. When he later awoke the next morning the dresser was next to his bed, and the door was open...with so much force the knob was embedded in the sheetrock.
For myself personally the weirdest thing I've seen is when I was first married and closed on my 1st home. I was very close to my uncle Freddie when I was little and he was KIA in Vietnam, in 1967...this is important later on. I was alone downstairs in the finished basement. There wasn't so much as a picture on the wall I mean this house was completely empty. In a side laundry room that had nothing in it at all, and the only item in the whole house that wasn't attached lay in the middle of the floor. It was a rolled up poster with rubber band, unrolled it was a collage style about Vietnam. It had huey helicopters, soldiers, rice paddy scenes in watercolors. In the middle was a section of the Vietnam memorial with about 30 names....guess whose name was in the direct center of those 30 names..my uncle freddie. It made my hair stand straight up.

Cool stories, but how old are you now that your mom can't tell you the rest of the stories?
 
One of the stories I remember my grandma telling is that she would often hear furniture moving in her sun room when she was home alone.
 
Tell her to come with it already. You're a big boy now. You can handle it. Maybe she can't, huh. Oh well, sounds too intriguing to not be told though. Just sayin'.
