Just a little bit crazy...

Ok, I know I have problems, the kind of problems where I can't always trust myself, but today has been a bit more powerful than usual.

Firstly, and this part has been on and off through the past several years, I heard somebody say my name, just clear as hell. I know I heard it. I know it was right beside me, and there wasn't anybody there. That weirds me out a little bit.

Then this morning, while sitting on the edge of the bed, I felt something brush past my leg. Again, I know it happened, I felt it, and there was nothing there.

Sometimes I also catch something moving out of the corner of my eye, just at the edge of vision, sometimes like a mouse, or sometimes like somebody stepping behind me.

Anybody else get stuff like this?

Thats a psychic phenomenon that I think they call "Shadow People."  Go to Waverly Heights, in Louisville Kentucky... lots of people have seen them on the top floor there.

I wish I could remember the scientific term for it, but it's just a result of the random synapse firings in your brain when you sleep, and the residual affects they can have as you wake, especially if by an alarm or other not "natural" rousing. It can go so far as to sleep paralysis where a person can wake up and not move until their body readjusts itself.

My wife gets the paralysis, but I've been getting up at the same time for about seven years now, and it's not the first time I've felt something. In any case, it being my mind tricking me, it's a bit unsettling to think that one can trick oneself to that degree. I feel very fortunate it's not worse than it is, and given my sometimes very self-abusive behavior it very well could be or might become so.

The house is 30 years old, and I'm not sure if other's have experienced things like this. Not my wife, I'm sure. I've brought it up with her. My first apartment with her was haunted, I'm pretty certain. We both heard a voice there, clear as anything, right there by our bedroom. Things would disappear. (A zippo I left on the counter vanished one day and when we moved a year later it was at the bottom of a storage hamper that hadn't been touched in all the time we lived there.)

And I never answer those voices. They get a look around, and that's it.

My grandmother is very 'touched' when it comes to stuff like this. When I came close to death she knew it, and called my parents to check on me.

Haunting or no, I've heard the voices and seen the movements well away from home. But that's pretty cool you know the tech guy. I'll bet he gets to see some pretty cool places and see some crazy stuff.

I hate that feeling. In the house I grew up in I could never go into the attic without the sense that something malevolent was right behind me, and I had a terrible sense of urgency to rush down the stairs. The basement was similar, but not quite as strong. And you never, never felt quite alone in that place.

I get deja vu (sp?) like 100 times a day, every day.  And about 1/2 the dreams I have at night come true.

It makes me sc'r'd.

Has anyone died in it. Has anyone else experienced similar events. Is there any reason why? I hear things say my name sometimes. Even when I know nobody is home. I get that feeling that somebody is behind or watching me all the time. It creeps the hell outta me. They say that it gives the "being" power over you. That thye can latch onto you. Not as a posession per say but they can get a "bead" on you and follow you.

Bassicly they kinda stalk you? Is this like to "harm" you? Or is it because they are interested in life?

Then you get the sense that what is happening now happened in the past, in your memories. It makes you feel as though you have the memory of it, but you couldn't have called up or identified the memory until you get to that moment. It makes sense.   So in other words, my head is broken?

Nope, perfectly natural. In the nigh-impossible tangle of nerves in the human body, it would be a miracle if none of them every got jangled up.

I think you're dying

When i was a really young kid, i got those feelings all the time, Reif.  I since moved out of that house, into another house.  They occured alot less there.  In my current house, i don't get any of those feelings.  I still get the glimpses out of the corners of my eyes, but i think everyone gets those.

However, my mother's house has an active ghost in it.  I have seen it, my mother has seen it, my stepdad has seen it, and the people she bought the house from have seen it too.  Gets pretty creepy at night.  Maybe later, i'll tell a story about it.
