something spooky

[C_Kyle]

I do have a strange story.

My cat can open shut doors that have round door handles. It's either that, or he's teleporting to the other side of the door. I'm being serious. I can shut a door, and he'll just be on the other side. Sometimes the door is still shut.

It happens frequently, but I've never been able to actually see him crossing the threshold, or even trying to open the door. He's huge, 26lbs of solid Main Coon, and he can definitely reach the door handles.

He moves like a ghost. I'll leave him sleeping in the rocking chair down stairs, walk up the stairs, turn on the bedroom light, and he's sitting like a statue on the footboard of the bed staring at me.

I'm not making jokes about the topic. This is the closest to paranormal I've ever experienced.

I've woken up in the night with the feeling that can only be described as abject terror. Unable to make a sound and bodily frozen, to snap myself out of it has taken an incredibly strong self of will. Sleep paralysis I'm sure...

Having a Welsh sister who's a Wicken, I no longer discount stories of the outer world (as un-rational as that may sound). Spirits, sprites, treemen and wot not are a part of my Celtic history.

The power of thought, wishes and prayer I whole heartedly believe in.

But as my mother told me, "We shouldn't fear the dead but the living", I think this holds true unless the Reaper comes a calling.

Bravo to this forum because there's been several threads now that have got me shit scared!

The Song of the Little Hunter

Ere Mor the Peacock flutters, ere the Monkey People cry,
Ere Chil the Kite swoops down a furlong sheer,
Through the Jungle very softly flits a shadow and a sigh--
He is Fear, O Little Hunter, he is Fear!

Very softly down the glade runs a waiting, watching shade,
And the whisper spreads and widens far and near;
And the sweat is on thy brow, for he passes even now--
He is Fear, O Little Hunter, he is Fear!

Ere the moon has climbed the mountain, ere the rocks
are ribbed with light,
When the downward-dipping trails are dank and drear,
Comes a breathing hard behind thee--snuffle-snuffle
through the night--
It is Fear, O Little Hunter, it is Fear!

On thy knees and draw the bow; bid the shrilling arrow go;
In the empty, mocking thicket plunge the spear;
But thy hands are loosed and weak, and the blood has left
thy cheek--
It is Fear, O Little Hunter, it is Fear!

When the heat-cloud sucks the tempest, when the slivered
pine-trees fall,
When the blinding, blaring rain-squalls lash and veer;
Through the war-gongs of the thunder rings a voice more
loud than all--
It is Fear, O Little Hunter, it is Fear!

Now the spates are banked and deep; now the footless
boulders leap--
Now the lightning shows each littlest leaf-rib clear--
But thy throat is shut and dried, and thy heart against
thy side
Hammers: Fear, O Little Hunter--this is Fear!

-- Rudyard Kipling

My wife was working the graveyard shift one night several years ago (nurse), so I was home alone with my 2 year old daughter. At about 2 AM, I woke up to our stereo system playing music very loud downstairs. It scared the crap out of me. Checked the house--no one around. All of the doors and windows locked. This was just a regular radio--no alarm or anything. Finally figured out the next day that my wife had been playing the radio before she went to work. The power cord had a short and it quit playing while she was still home. She didn't ever turn the radio off. So, in the middle of the night, the power cord decided to get over it's short and start playing again. I didn't get back to sleep for quite a while that night! At least this story had a reasonable explanation in the end.
One thing I've learned, trust your instincts! If you get a crazy unexplainable (chicken skin) feeling, get the heck out of there!

Sometimes it's also accompanied by a buzzing sound. But though it's an odd feeling, I never felt spooked during these times. I am fully awake when it happens, too.

see I am as well, but paralyzed. And the buzzing is constant, the way I would explain it is the electical feel, thats the only thing I can think of, kind of like a transformer on a powerline that you can hear, that buzzing sound.




The only other really odd thing was I was a very odd dream, one with old friends, including my GF, and towards the end of the dream we were at a party, or a dream or something. For what ever reason, there was a clone of me. I remember saying to my GF "thats a good looking clone, eh?" At that point I woke up, and within seconds my GF in real life said, "that was a weird clone eh?" I was like, "WHAT?!, what did you say?"

She then was fully awake and really didn't know what I was talking about. I asked is she was having a dream, and in the next 20 minutes of talking, we both were finishing each others sentances about what happend in the dream. The odd thing too was in the dream when she would go somehwere else, the dream was different for her, like at one point I went into this store, and she stayed in the car, well in her dream she stayed in the car as I went in the store, and then a baby appeared in the car and all this other stuff took place.


It was just odd talking with her and as were finishing each other's sentances knowing she had exactly the same dream, just anytime we were separated, I had my part and she had hers.

interesting/exciting/scaring thread.

I think, our mind is much more powerful than we think. I mean, sometimes-when one's mind becomes free of the stress and "to do's" of everydays, in those moments we are able to sense the finer resonances of our surroundings. maybe that's what is behind some of those stories. maybe just a "turbo-imagination"...Some of us are just more sensitive to this.
Actually my GF's mother was telling us a story a month-or so ago, that she has awaken in the middle of the night, and was seeing her daughter(my GF) standing in front of her for a few loong moments..(we had some complications with her pregnancy that time, and the mother was not knowing it, at all). both of them are very "spiritual" in a sense of being somehow disconnected of the "REAL"(blablabla) world...
in case of my own strange experiences I just do not know was it a hallucination being in a "half dream", but "The truth is out there"

The whole time, I felt allmost like I had an electrical charge or something, its was the worst thing that has ever happend, very dishearting.

I once had this. I was drinking the night and I don't remember if I was asleep completely but I remember the feeling allright. It was a loud bang and it felt electric and it slowly faded away, kind of like sound you get when you hit a huge gong. It also had a vibrating effect, shaking. I was a bit scared to go to sleep next night.

Thanks for another cool story, Kalama.

I've had a couple incidents like that, Kalama, creepy unexplainable stuff that could be just your mind playing tricks, an animal, or if you're very imaginative, something else entirely.

I know you heard the stories about Kipapa Gulch and all that. I've been on a few pig hunts in the gulch with my friends/family that live in Mililani mauka, sometimes we didn't get back from until it got dark. Kinda spooky when you're hiking out and remembering all the stories you've heard. Lots of supernatural tales and beliefs in Hawaii...especially with the Native Hawaiians and Japanese. Heard all kinds of stories from Night Marchers in the Pali and Kipapa to Kappa and Obake in Nu'uanu.

As far as I was raised, the belief is simply: you don't bother them, they won't bother you. I've always been told that when passing through creepy areas back home, when you start to get chicken skin, you say "Just passing through, not here to bother anyone". And then you continue on your way. I'm pretty agnostic and atheistic, but some places are just spooky no matter what you believe.

its like nite diving here they say the odds of getting attacked by a shark is rare ,but i still hear that dam JAWS song when im out their in the ocean

Yeah, it's like night diving, you know you're pretty much safe...barring stupidity on your part...but there's a little part of your mind that easily invents things to populate the dark just beyond the reach of your dive light. Things waiting for your light to go out.

Once you get back out for a few times without incident, you'll forget about it. I give you two or three trips till it's out of mind.

Right on, Kalama. Be safe, and remember the drill for the night marchers, haha Malama pono.

I'm not a doctor, but some of these "buzzing, out of body, electrical" descriptions sound very familiar. I developed epilepsy 17 years ago out of the blue and I can tell you many of these stories sound very similar to the "aura" brought on by minor seizures. It can be a sudden disassociated feeling, a "fog" if you will, followed by your whole body feeling tingly. I'm not casting aspersions on anyone's beliefs here, but if it happens frequently you might want to mention it to your doctor sometime just in case.

That's a darned cool cat.

And I think your story has as much place in this thread as any other.

 

[scotchleaf]

Thanks guys, now I'm scared...and I used to go to an ancient graveyard (with graves back in the forest - Crest Lawn Cemetary) here in Atlanta at midnight on halloween. You could wander back in the trees on a small path and see the graves peeking up from the undergrowth - they date, I believe from the late 19th century.
