"I Believe." She whispered....
I am a scientist at heart. I love science. And this paranormal stuff just doesn't fit in my scientific brain. And yet, I have personally experienced things I can't explain. Oh sure, people will explain away anything, but from my own experience, I just can't say that any explanations fit my circumstances. So either my mind is swiss cheese up there or there's something to this paranormal stuff. And the scientist in me wants to find out.
Paranormal is a huge and somewhat vague term. Many things fall under this "umbrella" if you will. I am going to concentrate here with ghosts and hauntings. I'll work on a separate lens for Psychics and Mediums. So read on, in the cover of darkness where no one will know your secret. And share with us your experiences.
Are you a closet believer?

My Early Experiences
The first sighting was actually by my mother. She saw the poor man sitting at her kitchen table one early morning. He was hunched over the table with his head in his arms and looked as if he was crying. She quickly returned to the bedroom and crawled into bed and under the covers. But she didn't wake my father.
After that, little things started to happen in the house. My mother was a stay at home mom at the time and as I said before, I was only 3 or 4 years old. Doors would open and close and we would hear scratching noises in the walls and floors. It's on old house and old houses make funny noises right? How about this one then. My parents were paranoid about me locking myself into any rooms as some children will do. So they removed the locking doorknobs. One day I was in the bathroom and the door slammed shut. I couldn't open the door. My mother couldn't open the door. It was shut tight. Wouldn't budge. She panicked and called my father at work. I was crying my eyes out just sitting on the floor. The door then opened on it's own. Yes, it happened.
I hated going to sleep at night. Terrified of it. Why? Monsters under the bed? No, just that bothersome ghost! He would speak to me and keep me awake. And I would be punished and spanked every night for making such a fuss. I quickly learned then to keep these things to myself.
As things continued and my mother started to complain more and more to my father about them, he finally decided we needed to move. And move we did.
Things were great in the new house. I started school when I turned 5 and my mother started a new job. Life was normal. For a while. One night in my bedroom, the posters in my bedroom fell off the walls. I had a huge Star Wars poster next to my bed. No big deal, things like that happen right? This room was always colder than any other room in the house. The closet door had a mind of it's own. It did NOT want to stay closed. I moved to a different room. Various relatives who came to stay with us over the years also began to have strange experiences in that room. Eventually no one would sleep in that room and we turned it into an office.
When I turned 6, my grandfather died. I had a very special relationship with my grandfather. I was the first grandchild and he was so smitten with me. I have such fond but too short memories of him. I knew he had died before anyone else did other than my grandmother and the nurses and doctors. He had Leukemia and it ravished him. This huge bear of a man was taken from us in what seemed only a mere blink of the eye. I quickly and matter of factly told my teacher at school that my grandfather had died this morning. She called my father who took me home and sat me down and tried to explain to me my grandpa was dead. I said, "I know!" and couldn't understand why everyone was so upset. That was that and I didn't see my grandpa again until I turned 16 years old. He came to see me that night when I went to bed. He showed up in a black suit and brown shoes (how odd) and said, "Happy Birthday Kimmie and sweet 16." He was the only one who called me Kimmie. Later I found out he was buried in a black suit and brown shoes because he didn't own black shoes and they didn't have time to get some.
Other experiences happened in the house with my parents but that's another section at a later time.

- I am a firm believer in Ghosts, I am most fascinated with the events when they involve the manipulation of physical mass. Its one thing for a spirit to draw up enough energy to form a whispy mist, but how can they move physical items, even carry luggage in old hotels as an example. Then there are those who communicate verbily, even a few words. Then we have the reports of cigar or cigg smoke, this means that something is physically burning to emit the particles we smell. Finally, while I find it comforting that there is a afterlife, I am somewhat troubled by some of the apparent event loops they are caught up in, usually bad events. My lens has some links to some art work I have done. We are getting closer to clear communication methods, EVP is just the beggining.

- Wow! what a lens! love your stories. I guess while I believe in ghosts, I think only people who have the gift of seeing them, see them. It is a bit disturbing because of the implication they "should" be somewhere else. 5*/ fav/ BLESSED by a SquidAngel.

- Cool lens! I am naturally clairsentient--that is, I can feel spirit energy, though I don't usually see/hear people in spirit. My Dad passed away a few months ago (March 1); but apparently he found his way home from the nursing/rehab center, and I have a handful of digital photos to prove it! But that's okay; he can stick around as long as he likes. He'd been wanting to go home for a long time. I've had a number of other paranormal experiences as well (being clairsentient, it sort of comes with the territory); but haven't had a chance to do serious ghosthunting lately. Has anyone invented a two-way EVP communication device yet? That would be really cool! I'm especially interested in really old/prehistoric site research, including capture of dead languages. Anyway, great work here!

- What a super site to read on Halloween...
I could really relate to the story of Rose.
When my son was born C section, I also had a woman at the foot of my bed.
She was quite beautiful and she was staring at me.
I knew she was really there ~~ amd moments later she shattered like glass into a million fragments. When I told my OB GYN and the nurses the next day, they emphatically denied that any ghosts were in the maternity ward and said it was "drugs" of the C section !!!
Best to you,
Karen
