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? -------------

I always think I see things out of the corner of my eye as well, but not really any of the other things you mentioned.

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.

If it was right after you woke up, that's all pretty common. 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. -------------

In Spanish supesticion it's verry unlucky to answer when disembodied voices call. Also how old is your house? Has anyone died in it. Has anyone else experienced similar events.
One of my good friends is the tech Guy for the TAPS team in the Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters TV Show. I can always give him a call and see what's up. -------------

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. -------------

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. -------------

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. -------------

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. -------------

I've heard that explained as the nerves in your brain, the ones firing off during whatever is happening or whatever you're thinking at that moment, cross over the nerves for your memories. 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. -------------

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. -------------

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. ------------- X |

That has to be one of the worst feelings. I remember the first time it happened to me (it was because of cut off circulation), when my entire arm was numb from the bi/triceps down. I had to pick it up with my other hand to move it, very scary if you don't know what is going on. ------------- Suck, sqeeze, bang, blow, and GO!

That happens to me. I will sleep on my arm, wake up in morning and have to pick it up with my other arm. First time it happened I was freaking out thinking I was gonna need my arm amputated or something. Now I'm just like cool and toss it around until the blood gets flowing again. -------------

| You guys are talking about a limb falling asleep. I've experienced real sleep paralysis before. It's pretty scary. |
Posted By: Horsepower
Date Posted: 14 November 2007 at 7:21pm
I realize that, but this is beyond asleep, when something falls asleep it feels like little needles are poking it, when you wake up and feel like I did, you actually don't even know your arm is there until you roll over and feel something against your side, nothing on the entire arm is able to function, you could cut your arm off and wouldn't feel it. -------------

Yes I do, people often feel like something/someone is sitting on their chest and they can't move/get up/escape it and whatnot. Basically freaks the hell out of the person. I was just saying I have had things happen to me similar to what pezzer experienced. -------------

I got that once last year. I woke up and I couldn't move and then I felt someone sit on my bed next to me and start to talk to me but I couldn't understand them. Then my face got super super hot and I kept trying to see who was in my bed talking. Finally I could move again and I jumped up, no one was there. -------------

I've had sleep paralysis before, it's easy to think you're still dreaming but the last couple of times I've heard different noises, furnace starting, fridge going off etc. I can't move, can't open my eyes and it lasts for a minute or so, then bam, it's gone. I've also had this thing where I close my eyes right after waking up (usually in the middle of the night) and for no reason I have a powerfull sense of fear; when I close my eyes I get this weird rushing sound that gets louder the longer I leave my eyes closed, and the fear/terror builds as well. I have expercienced this enough that I've played around with how long I can keep my eyes closed without freaking right out. If I go past a certain point, I can't open my eyes, my chest feels like theres a weight on it and it's hard to breathe, and I can't hear anything. Shortly after that, it just goes away, and I feel quite light-headed. A few years ago I started writing down as best I can remember just what I've explained here; I have 5 instances like this now, and they are almost identical except that in one I remembered the dream just before it. I find it fascinating to be honest, the mind is amazing. ------------- Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here. |

The feeling of terror and the weight on the chest that people who get sleep paralysis describe always makes me think of this:
Fuseli's Nightmare My wife get's sleep paralysis, and she hates it. I can often tell when it's happening (she tries to move and speak but it's just mumbling) and I'll wake her up by talking to her loudly or nudging her. I don't get that, thankfully, but when I see things it's a bit freaky, especially in the middle of the day. Hearing things should be freakier, but it's not for some reason. I shrug it off as a slightly unstable mind messing with me. -------------

What you and WGP described is nothing at ALL like sleep paralysis. A limb "falling asleep" is actually the sensation of blood rushing BACK to the limb in question. Sleep paralysis has to do with the random firing of neurons in the brain during sleep, the same thing that causes people to move or "kick" in their sleep. The firing is, as far as is known so far, completely random, and occasionally causes the body to think it has lost control of the rest of the body. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

I heard what sounded like someone pacing back and forth through the room. I tried to look to see who it was, but I couldn't move at all. After a few seconds, I realized I was experiencing sleep paralysis, so I tried to wake myself up. I decided that if I could try to make some sort of noise, I'd wake up. All that managed to come out was a muffled "uunnnnnnngggghhhh", but as soon as I heard my own voice, I woke up. |

I've been waking up gasping for air for a few weeks, dunno what's up with that. Scares the crap out of me in the middle of the night and makes it hard to sleep though. -------------

It could be sleep apnea. Might want to read up on it, as it can become a VERY dangerous condition, and even fatal. http://www.medicinenet.com/sleep_apnea/article.htm - http://www.medicinenet.com/sleep_apnea/article.htm ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

When I used to get dressed in the morning before school, I would see someone walk into the room out of the corner of my eye. I would assume it was my brother, who i shared the room with, and turn to talk to him to find myself alone. This was after I had eaten breakfast and had a shower, so I was never really that asleep. I brought this up to him, and I guess he had experienced the same thing. Once my brother even called me to the other side of the basement, and when we walked back to the room 20 seconds later, my bedding was laid out on the ground. I realize thats not very threatening, but it is extremely creepy -------------
