about 7 years ago i had an odd experience and i dont know what to make of it. my whole life ive had scary experiences while i was half awake/ half asleep.i would feel an evil presence around me & i felt like it wanted to harm me. one time while i was awake & i felt it around my bed it growled at me.i had always dismissed it as sleep paralysis.7 years ago im in my friends apartment & were getting ready to drink some beers hang out & watch a movie. he rented final destination. i remember watching the scene where the class is getting ready to board a plane when one of the students has a preminission of the plane blowing up & he decides not to get on the plane, then the plane blew up..... i thought ...wow .....how cool would that be to know when youre about to die in an accident and you could avoid it. as soon as i thought that my entire body grew hot. it was only 70 degrees outside with a beautiful breeze so the apartment was cool inside. i had sweat pouring off my head my shirt was getting wet and my legs were sweaty, my legs never sweat. i went to the bathroom to wash my face and when i lifted my head to look in the mirror the crazy stuff started happening. my field of vision slowly went black & then a vortex began swirling in front of my face, my left arm began vibrating violently & i couldnt control it. then all of a sudden it stopped and i heard a voice as clear as a bell in my right ear, it said " you can not escape us". i thought for a minute that i was hallucinating but i know it was real, i was dead sober ( i hadnt begun drinking the beers yet ). i wonder if this voice is connected with my sleep paralysis or not.if anyone has suggestions to what it might be please feel free to try & help. thanks

How old are you? How is your overall health? Attacks can come at a time of physical distress. Energies see an opening and can use it. Have you had any strange experiences since? Did you do anything out off the ordinary seven years ago right before this happened, like buy any strange objects, visit a different place?

i am 36. my overall health is fine. when this happened i was between jobs & a little stressed out. yes i have had strange experiences since then. i moved from the bronx to staten island and the place where me & my girl friend lived was haunted. she lived there before i moved in and she said lots of weird things happened to her there but i thought she was just having a little fun with me until i saw a clothing iron fall off a shelf and hit her in the head, she was standing about two feet away from the shelf looking for something and she hadnt touched the shelf so it didnt fall off because she moved the shelf, it just fell.we broke up and she moved out and i decided to continue living there. one morning i was lying in bed and i heard someone call my name from a few feet away, i thought it was her, she visited twice a week but when i turned around no one was there. a few days later while i was trying to fall asleep something nudged me in my back. a few moths later i was petting my cat and he got startled and lept from my arms, i followed him into the back room where the iron had fell and i was petting him. i felt something in the room with me but didnt think anything of it, it felt heavy like humidity. when i came out of the room and i felt something hot on my shoulder, i had three scratch marks running down my arm from my shoulder to my elbow. now i know my body had no marks on it before i went into the room to pet the cat because i was working out shirtless and when my cat jumped from my arms i went in to look at the mirror in my bathroom and blow my nose ( im allergic to cats by the way ) and there were no marks present on my body.i also saw orbs flying around the chimminey of my neighbors house. bright red, it looked like they were playing tag. then they flew away. as i sat there and thought to myself " there is no way i just saw that " another orb flew by and it looked like it was trying to catch the other orbs.i also saw a shadow person in my sisters house. me and my sis were having a converstaion in her room when i looked at her bedroom door and i saw it peek inside then quickly move away from the door like i had spotted it and it didnt want to be seen. i know this is alot of stuff but i just cant explain what the hell is going on. i told this stuff to my mother and she said i might be perceptive to this type of stuff. thank you for your comment and if you have any suggestions to what might be going on please let me know. thanks

It is alot but not so strange to me. I've been in the same boat. Though the majority of my stuff was all between 15 and 30ish years old. Now it seems to have slowed down a bit but I'm not complaining. I have also had several ghost experiences and it seemed they were attracted to me. Your mother is most likely correct, there does seem to be something to sensitive people attracting things to them. There really isn't alot you can do, escept for protective measures. Depending on your religious background and what you are comfortable doing to keeping certain energies at bay. Ghosts are as varied as the people they once were, some good some not. Though they rarely have much power to occupy you unless you let them or you are extremely sick.There are alot of things going on that cannot be explained beyond ghosts, so you may have a couple of different things to pay attention to. Knowledge is best. I suggest you get some books. I can suggest a few if you are interested but my best guess right off the bat is that you need to learn some energy work. Whatever these things are they seem to effect you physically in a manor that they should not be able to...at least not that easily.You can also visit my best friends page http://lucretiasheart.livejournal.com/ and ask her for help / advice. She is far more knowledgeable than I am regarding all types of paranormal incidents.Hope this helps at least a little.GP

thank you godlypunk, i appreciate your help :)

Sorry to hear you have had such disturbing episodes in your life. The paranormal can certainly skew your world view. After reading your posts it seems to me that perhaps there are a couple of different things going on; paranormal and not.From your first post I might conclude you were suffering from anxiety attacks, they can occur while asleep and upon waking, or in the case of being in the hypnogogic or hypnopompic  state, can leave you feeling very paranoid and frightened. And the feelings, sounds and what might seem to be visible at that time feel oh so very real. (and they could very well be, who knows). I think perhaps the experience at your friends house could also be related to anxiety and/or panic disorder. Panic can manifest in any number of ways and you may never figure out what the trigger is. Again, in that state it is not unusual to feel, hear or perceive a physical presence. It can also create all kinds of physical responses, such as the shaking of your arm and the vertigo.I am not saying that those experiences did not have a paranormal aspect, only that your physical/mental/emotional state might have had as much to do with what you experienced as the paranormal could have.I was wondering about the marks on your arm. Although they could have been caused by an unseen entity (it does happen) it could have been a delayed dermal reaction to your cat allergy. I have severe allergies and if I am in an allergic state, the simplest touch or rub to my skin will welt up within a seconds. I could write entire books on my body by simply tracing the words on my skin. I guess what I am saying is that there could have been two different things going on; both paranormal and mundane.Now as to the "orbs" you saw; they could very well have been a paranormal manifestation of some sort. I have seen them myself on occasion and so did my father (and his dog). They could also have been a form of plasma energy simply doing whatever plasma energy balls do. In the my father's case there were a number of them bouncing around a room in his house. He thought he was hallucinating until some of the electronic items in the house started to short out, and the dog became hysterical. I watched a red orb float, weave and bob its way through the entire length of my house one time. At first I was terrified and then just curious. There did not seem to be any electrical problems at that time. In fact there was nothing out of the ordinary except for the presence of the orb.The sense I get from your posts is that you are a person who is open to different "vibrations". You are able to perceive things that many other people would not, or will not. I hope you seek to find more information about the different aspect of the unseen world and remember just because it is in a book does not make it true. Also realize that our world is far more complicated than one event at a time.It has been my experience that there is nothing from the spirit side of the coin that can hurt you unless you allow it: not demons not ghosts nor any other non-corporeal being. Be strong, be healthy, be open minded but questioning and you should be just fine.

Not trying to be arguementative, but case files / history shows that there is plenty on the paranormal side of things that can hurt you. I'm talking good, honest, loving people. Look at abductions, demon activity, etc. and there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. To tell someone who IS hurt by paranormal activity that they must have "allowed" it is terrible. It's wonderful that you may not have had any hurtful experiences, but there is no law or order to say that it is a truth for everyone.Peace, GP

 story could have used a vampire or two, other than that, it was ok.

godlypunk, aren't we all actually responsible for everything that happens to us. You know, like, I decided to be in this place at this time; the same time as a crazy with a desire to do harm to someone who looks like me. Jus' sayin'.True, there is no law nor order, (that we know of), that would decree that destructive paranormal events happen or don't. I have been studying this for 35 years and I have seen certainly odd things but I have never seen demonic activity; only what was described as such. I had other more mundane explainations. That is not to say that those who believe they have been "attacked" did not suffer from it and did truly believe they had been touched by evil. It is my personal belief that only humans have the capacity for evil and we do it so well. I have experienced negative energy and residual anger from entities. I do not engage them. Perhaps I have been lucky in that I have not been harmed.  

I have to agree with godlypunk!!!! There are many harmful things out there in the paranormal world that can not only hurt you, They can also kill you!!! This is for broly!! I am a certified parapsychologist and in my studies I have come across thousands of cases similar to yours. I would be willing to say ruling out psychological problems and or drug and alcohol abuse you have a classic case of being a sensitive and not knowing it. Knowledge is power, A trip to the library or a good search on the internet will show you that these cases sometimes are very similar due to the fact that a sensitive is present at the time of these events.Not all humans have this ability but those who do can relate on the level of the experiences that they share.I have researched and am researching this commonality in experiences and why certain people are more prone to these sometimes horrific experiences.The thought that you are totally safe is not true. You need to be aware not afraid of what is happening to you!!! You also need to research how to protect yourself and those around you. Dependant on your own belief system there are protective symbols ,medals,incense,prayers and other methods of creating a protective environment. Once again this would be based on your core beliefs, not on someone elses.I hope the best for you and you should start as soon as possible as far as protection and research. If you like, check my website at www.esps.co.cc there is a method of contact there!!

I also agree with GP on this.  There is plenty out in the world that can hurt a person.  I don't feel the need to categorize anything in the paranormal world as good or evil; sometimes a "creature" just is what it is.  Lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!) are all capable of harming and killing people, but that does not make them evil.  I think the biggest evil in the world is the disease of ignorance that has inflicted humanity.  People wish their world to be simple and safe and choose to not believe there are things in the world that can hurt them.  By their ignorance (perhaps even innocence) people allow evil to happen to them.  It is terrible and tragic and I don't hold it against them because I've had the supernatural sneak up behind me before because I wasn't paying attention.  Our ancestors may not have had science to explain the world to them, but that doesn't mean their superstitions were unfounded.

Nice website.  I especially like the faked pictures.  I think it is good for people to be shown just how easy it is to fake evidence so they can be educated and know when someone is trying to fool them.  It's also good for the ameteurs who may accidently be taking pictures of mundane objects which can look like evidence later.  Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the nice comment on my website!!!!! You are so on point!!!! We have to have the Knowledge wisdom and understanding to deal with the world that we live in. We can use science to help us but without our own  in born talents even science cannot help us. It is easy to say that something does not exist but we are at risk by not believing in things just because we dont understand them. A long time ago people said that space travel was not possible, they also said the world was flat, Now we know that the world is not flat and space travel is possible!!! The darkness that man hides in is a safety measure that is used for the purpose of comfort like a nice warm blanket. The blanket has now been removed and the universe is a scary place!!! We have to be open minded to see what is possible verces what is impossible. After all my years of research I find that very little is impossible. We as human beings are capable of many great feats and will find the answers to most of our questions but meanwhile while we are still searching we should not think that the impossible is the standard!!! We are finding the impossible is possible!!! No more darkness let there be light!!!!
