Hi all !! I am new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself (apologies if there is a thread for new comers but I couldn't find one).
I'm an Aussie. I actually saw this website in a story on 'Hauntings' I think it was called. I have a massive interest in the paranormal, and unexplained fear considering I have no reason to, but no matter how much I fear it, I crave to know more about it, which is basically why I'm here. I have a thirst for expanding my knowledge of the paranormal ! ! I have had a few experiences myself, nothing overly exciting in comparison so some, but still exhilerating.
My family is very spiritual and has always been open to different planes of existence and all things paranormal. As a kid they used to take me to what I guess was like a spriritual retreat which I only remember as calling "Royal Tree". There we had readings done of our auras and our guardian angels (which were very extensive, the folio I have on my guardians detail their sex, previous occupation, parts of my body they are responsible for, etc) and my parents used to go into what I think was a steam tent with native american indians and so much more that I just can't remember. I think because of our open-ness ghosts have always been attracted to us (in a way). I don't think we've ever lived in a house without at least two.
The first house I lived in was an old cottage (which mum visits everyone know and then and is still full of ghosts) built in the early 1900's. The only memory I have of that house involving paranormal activity is a recurring nightmare about ghosts (which to me then were just big white blobs) coming at me from 3 directions and pushing me to one another violently. I have been told since that things used to fly off shelves and there were many bumps in the night. My older sister also says she used to see a nun sitting on the end of her bed a lot.
The second house I lived in is where I had my first sighting. I woke up in the middle of the night and glimpsed a young man walking out of my bedroom. He was wearing what looked like jeans and a t-shirt. He didn't look at me, he just walked out. I was terrified but didn't feel threatened. I also had a dream there that I won't go into detail unless you ask me to because its a long-ish story but the dream more or less eventuated a little a few nights later but without the knife-wielding demon ghost. We also had a piano who used to play itself in the middle of the night. And marbles which used to fall from the roof in the hallway. My sister also would forever find her candles knocked off her dresser into the bin, but only ever the black ones. I also had my first go with a ouija board at this house with my mum and younger sister and a family friend.
The third house I lived in was quiet and I don't remember anything significant.
The fourth house I lived in was brand new and built for us so we were the first residents. The second night I slept there I started hearing noises. Just little bumps and groans which may not have been paranormal at all. The 3rd week (ish) I was there I was lying awake in bed at about 2am (it was during high school and I had insomnia for most high school so was awake at all hours), I heard a bang in the kitchen. Followed closely by another identical bang. Then shortly after that I heard what sounded like a cupboard door being opened and closed very quickly, would have been less than a second between each slam, and this continued for about 30 seconds then stopped suddenly.
Throughout the years of living there I heard conversations and footsteps when no one was there and caught glimpses out the corners of my eyes only to find nothing when I turned around. I also saw what I think could have been cats. We had cats and standing in the kitchen hearing a meow and feeling a rub against my leg wasn't unusual until I looked down and saw nothing but caught a black blur leaving the kitchen - we didnt have a black cat at this house but had one at the first house which died years before. I also had a very similar experience but with a white blur.
I also heard a little girl call my name on several occasions when I was home alone, and swear I heard her singing along with me a couple of times.
I had a friend stay at this house one night and we experienced something very paranormal which prompted her not to sleep over again. We were lying in bed talking in the middle of summer, so the window was open. It suddenly got very cold in the room so I got up and closed the window. The cold lasted about a minute. Then it was very hot again. I got up again and opened the window. Just after I got back into bed we both heard the light switch in the hallway just outside my door flicking on and off extremely quickly, but the light itself wasn't flashing. She was terrified and beside herself. I shouted "Be quiet !" at the door and the flicking stopped almost instantly.
I have sinced moved out of home. The first house I lived in I didn't experience anything. The house I am currently in appears to have spirits/ghosts come and go. I can sometimes sense when there is a ghost hanging around. In this house I remember waking up one night and rolling over to see what looked like a young girl bending over my bed side table wearing a black and white dress, with a rounded collar, an old style. It may not have been that at all as it would fit with the colours of the curtains just behind when its dark. But since seeing that I used to wake up in the middle of the night feeling terrified for no reason. But not just terrified, frozen. Couldn't move. Most nights was too scared to open my eyes. One night I am sure I felt a hand run down the doona on the right side of my body, which was the edge of the bed. This lasted a few weeks and had me worried that it was something not so friendly. I told my mum about it and she suggested that perhaps I was picking up more on what the ghost itself was feeling. After the discussion with my mum, I didn't experience it again. And haven't experienced anything since. That was about a year ago.
So that is my paranormal experiences in a nutshell. Sorry its kind of a novel.. I hope you all found it interesting !
