4. Person who works the front desk mentioned to her that he thought she was at home because the security sensors from her apt were active.
5. Noises coming from her patio, like something was tapping on something, but nothing there.
6. When speaking to her mom on the phone about moving out, the noises on the patio would start, and would become louder as she kept talking about moving out. When she changed the conversation and said she changed her mind about moving out, the noise would get softer and then disappear.

You know, Ive actually woken up once (in the middle of the night I wanna say a month or two ago) and I swore to myself I was only dreaming but it really felt like someone had touched my arm ever so slightly. Im sure it was just a dream but it felt so real, I mean real enough to wake myself up and sit up in bed for a moment. I HOPE I was only dreaming though. Ive never actually seen anything happen in the moment. Only after the fact that its happened, like the picture in my closet. My house is only 10 years old. Its in a brand new neighborhood. It was built on an old cemetery/park but all the graves have been moved decades ago and the houses on my street are not where the graves were located. This particular town is just over 200 years old.

I wouldnt say that Im scared of where I live. I'll get up in the middle of the night and walk downstairs to the kitchen without ever feeling the need to turn on a light. Nothing has ever been malicious . If there is something here I dont think that its mean whatsoever. Reminds me of a child that just likes to move my things around.

Now back to the ghost stories, this isn't a real estate thread.

Wait, weren't you the one who initially quipped that $3 million could by an entire state where I live ( which doesn't make any damn sense anyway). Chill with the one-upping. I live in the tri-state area where you'd find some prime real-estate. So, whatever you see in Vancouver pricewise, I've already seen it In manhattan, for example, An apt sold for $90 million last week.

My friend said the same thing. She never felt threatened by what was happening. She felt like if there was a presence, that presence wanted her to be there.

That's so amazing I don't have words for it. Please, tell us about the ghosts you find in these $90 Million dollar apartments and contribute more to this thread about your paranormal experiences. It fascinates me, thus far.

1. Last 5 digits on my birth certificate are -00666
Coincidence, my office phone number ends in 666...

2. About two months ago I woke up at 230AM and the light in my bedroom was on.
And? Did you leave it on? My parents' house has 2 lights that turn on/off on their own. Weird electrical quirks aren't uncommon

3. About two months ago I have a framed picture (about an 8x10) that hangs above the left side of my bed. I woke up and found it on the floor next to the right side of my bed. Pick it up and hung it back up.
4. About one month ago same picture, I woke up and found it on laying perfectly my night stand on the right side of my bed.

Now if it had fallen, it would have woken me up because of the noise, it would have broken Im sure, and it would have fallen on the left side. Theres no way possible for it travel (without assistance) to the right side of my bed or be placed on my nightstand.

You assume it would have woken you up and that it would have broken, but it's more likely that it fell and didn't wake you up than a ghost screwing with you.

I have NOT hung that picture back up. I put it in my closet and so far nothing else has happened.

The fact is, if you look for something, you're likely to 'find' it whether or not it actually exists. If you go into a situation having already judged the cause/outcome, you'll look for evidence as ad hoc support of your conclusion.

The last apartment I lived in had something about the size of a large cat that would periodically come into the spare bedroom and sleep on my chest. My real cat wouldn't go into that room, often hissed at the doorway.

if all these things really happens everytime and everynight. i think it's time to setup a vid cam and see what's really going on.

As for the house in Vancouver, since it can't be sold anyway because everyone probably know about how haunted this house is. I'd say just turn it into a ghost touring business. Eventually, someone out there will probably buy it for ghost studying or something.

[IFX]

i can't stop reading.

Anywho, i don't believe in it, until I actually come across it.

ok, has anybody experienced this...

i thought a demon was messing with me, but one time i was in my bed during the day about to take a nap and i was still awake, but closing my eyes to try and fall asleep. i happen to notice that i couldn't move, talk or anything and it felt as thought there was this hugh mass like a giant hand holding me agressively where i was in my bed.

i was freaking the fukc out and eventually it was like everything just let go and i regained control of my body. truly scary stuff.

some people say it was called sleep paralysis.

It is called sleep paralysis. When you sleep, your brain shuts down all motor functions so you don't act out your dreams and hurt yourself. Sometimes that kicks in early or you become conscious earlier than normal when waking up and your body is still paralyzed. It's often accompanied by seeing shadowy figures or auditory hallucinations too.

I sleep with the lights off.. I have a routine. Close my bedroom door, turn off lights, crawl into bed get under covers, check to make sure iPhone is charging, roll over, face wall and go to sleep. Every night...theres no way I would have not turned off the lights. I have a ceiling fan with 3 bright ass lights on it and I wouldnt have been able to fall asleep if it was on.

Are you aware if you've ever sleepwalked? Just eliminating the logical explanations first

Not that Im aware of. No ones ever told me that I have before. Its funny because we were talking about it at work this since one of the attorneys had something happen in his house over the weekend. Im going to hang that same picture back up in a different location in my room and see if anything happens over the next few weeks.

Just clarifying, your a female right?


You've got bigger balls than me, I would've tossed that picture out the first time that incident happened.
