Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Activity or Just Unexplainable?
There are so many cases of certain types of paranormal activity that it is hard to brush them aside as coincidence.
In the original spontaneous paranormal survey there were graphic reports of people having an out of body experience. There were pages and pages of descriptive texts on mental telepathy.
Less frequent was the talk of ufo activity, and poltergeists, psychometry and psychokinesis – the ultimate mind over matter experience.

Perhaps you’ve observed your body from afar? Or become so close to someone that you can literally talk to them without speaking out loud? What about the mind/machine interface? Some studies have been conducted on the role the human mind plays in the malfunctioning of computers. Ever noticed your computer demanding ‘downtime’ when you have a deadline to meet? The jury is still out on poltergeists. Some maintain that this phenomenon is brought on by adolescents, others think it is more widespread than this. You be the judge.

Very real. A good friend of mine passed away on Dec 28th, 2011 and his “wife” tried to get a hold of us through some rather unusual means. In meditation a few night later I made a real effort to go to his home and see if any of my suspicions were true.
The following day I asked her, when she called me about family members whereabouts, why she had all his handwritten music sheets (and copyright certificates) out on the kitchen table and was trying to hide his coin collection…Was it so his children wouldn’t get them as he wanted?
I found out just a couple days ago from a County Sheriff Investigator calling me, his “wife” was only a girl friend and that she had indeed left the county with many of his valuables. The family is quite upset.
So if there is no truth to OBE and or other phenomena surrounding this sort of things…how could I possibly have “seen” what was happening? I can document and prove this event…and of course I’m following up with the Investigator. This gal will not get away with her criminal activity…even if I have to go get her through OBE!!
Blessings of Peace,
My condolences Felbain.
Why did you feel the need to visit the scene? Was there more to this even before your OBE? What provoked you to meditate on this? Was it your friend or the unusual means thru which the women contacted you?
Love the last bit – That’s the kind of fighting spirit we need more of Dave.

“Why did you feel the need to visit the scene? Was there more to this even before your OBE? What provoked you to meditate on this? Was it your friend or the unusual means thru which the women contacted you?” – Rosemary
I find myself going to meditate on any event or circumstance that “bothers” me or I have questions about. This time in particular, things ‘felt’ really funny, odd, strange, different about her involvement and I could not shake these negative feelings.
Funny, as my meditation developed, I could actually “feel” myself there. Was this a true OBE? I’m not 100% sure, but I progressed with her on the phone the following day as if I had been. She closed down and clammed up. The main thing was that both my wife and I, from day one, when she called to tell me of his passing, there just seemed to be “something wrong”.
For several reasons: 1.) my being a licensed Officiate/Minister to perform weddings, I KNOW he would have wanted me to do the ceremony. 2.) when he was physically in our home in Feb. 2011, he was off to visit an old flame that he was trying to reunite with. That didn’t come to fruition. 3.) he had stated during his visit if not with “Beth”, then “no one”. 4.) This “wife” claimed they had lived together for 3 months prior to his taking sick…no one at his work or house (same place) knew much about her other than a “fling”. 5.) I found out today she wasn’t even at the memorial she set up yesterday (Sun 01-15-12) as she had already gotten out of town and county. When I last talked to her on the phone, (Wed. 01-11-12) there were erratic and irrational statements and wanting to know things no grieving wife would think of….and scared **less that I had “been in” his home and seen all the paperwork.
My friend who passed, was a very closed person, never revealing much about himself to anyone but his closest “friends”. He was a very talented artist and musician, having written songs for Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Mel Tellis, Ray Steven and even Travis Tritt. His own CD Raw Twigs isn’t even officially on the public market, but I have copies, legally, to sell…he was a very obscure, odd person, but that may have been why we were such good friends.
So when I add it all up, there’s a good possibility that I did in fact do an OBE during my meditation last Tues (01-10-12) These are among the many questions I have about these sorts of experiences, like what is the difference between seeing things there and BEING there? My friend was also a survivor of traumatic birth and while he had little faith in things of the paranormal, he had a way with instruments that few do…pick up anything and play it like a pro within minutes.
There have been other times in the past when I’ve “seen events” take place, like I was actually there, (2 crime scenes and one accidental drowning) where first intuitive response was spot on and helpful info for police, later absolutely ZERO and nothing connected after the initial “sighting”.
So what is that? So hit and miss it seems and why I’ve never even considered going professional or even more than amateur/hobby.
So there’s a big chunk of the story as to why, how, what etc.
Blessings of Peace,
“Fel”
You are certainly highly intuitive Dave!
And the good thing is that you act on that.
As a personal aside and note to self, I would do much better to follow my intuition more often and more quickly. Does anyone else have that same feeling?
And, how lovely to have known such a talented musician Dave!
Are you planning some sort of enduring memorial in his name? Maybe not, because he was a closed person or maybe yes because he chose you as a friend?
Perhaps the answer has already come to you in one of your mediations

I would like to create a music library of his music and have it available to the public, but since I do not have copyright, release etc. Rights, I’m not sure how to progress. Anyone with any ideas would be a big help.
He was an eccentric person, like many of us with flaws and qualities, but I believe his music should be the legacy people remember.
Blessings of Peace,

Rosemary,
PS: Since this goes to moderation first and if it’s allowed, anyone who may know about release rights… valleyviking2@yahoo.com …or delete the PS before posting ty.
Happy to leave the link in Dave.
I would think the first place to start is with the executor of his estate. If he died intestate then that would make things a whole lot more difficult I would think.
Anyway, Im not a lawyer, just thinking out loud.
I think your idea is great Felbain. It will evolve Im sure.

Hi Rosemary
I can vouch that there are such things as spirits out there.
I am a manager for a small paranormal Group in the U.K.
Apart from the investigations we have carried out, I have seen a spirit person in my home several times; we have things go missing, but we have come to accept our guest
As regards out of body experiences, my partner had this when she was very ill. She saw a tunnel and at the end of the tunnel was her departed grandfather. She was ushered back. She had never seen her grandfather before and only by looking at a photo and questioning her mum did she say ‘that was the man I saw and he had his faithfull dog with him too’.
Please feel free to visit my site at:

Thanks Andrew
Hi Andrew
Thanks for stopping and introducing yourself.
Im sure there will be some members here who will take the time to check out your site too.
As you can probably ascertain from the tone of our writing here, most of us are ‘the converted’. In the main, we have moved beyond belief and proof and are happy to explore what is.
Cheers

I just moved into an apartment and lately, at night, the bathroom door will open on its own slowly and then slam shut.
I sometimes wonder if it’s wind but the I never open the windows and the bathroom is down a hallway.The other day we had a house warming party and my cousin stayed over.
We were watching a movie in the living room when we heard the door slam shut. From the corner of my eye I could see the door slowly opening but when I turned my head to look the door stopped.
As I turned my head back to watch the movie the door slamed shut again.
Another time I was in the shower and again I was home alone (I always lock the bathroom door when I’m in there) and, as I was showering, I could hear my bathroom door slam shut.
I looked and noone was there. Now the same thing is happening with my bedroom door. Do u think its paranormal?
Hi Kiara and welcome
It does make you wonder, doesn’t it? The mind can certainly play tricks on all of us and that is what we have to remember.
What would happen if I said it definitely is the paranormal? How would you respond? Would you do anything differently? Sometimes, I think, its a good idea to know what we will do with information before we actually get it – if you know what I mean?
Here are a few things you could try:
. ask around about the apartment and its history?
. consider how you are feeling about being there. Is this your first time away from home? Are you anxious about anything (beyond the normal stuff)?
. does the temperature of the apartment change or do you notice anything else about the atmosphere when these things are happening?
Start with these thoughts Kiara and let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Rosemary
How do you regard the paranormal?
I think the paranormal is an unfortunate stepchild of scientific inquiry and investigation. Sadly so because there is much we don’t know and much that could be learned if the paranormal were studied in a serious, systematic way and those who studied it wouldn’t risk being marginalized professionally.
Is it mainstream to you?
I would have to say subjectively no, but if one considers the amount of television programs and movies that are highly successful that deal with paranormal subjects, then one would have to say it has become mainstream.
If one considers folkloric beliefs that could be described as either paranormal or having a paranormal component are found globally, then it could be said that indeed interest in the paranormal is mainstream.
Are you too a paranormal moderate?
Yes.
Hi Nina
Thanks for joining this conversation.
I know where you are coming from in referring to paranormal research as the step child of science and think this probably a good description of how it is viewed within academia. However, I take heart that psychology was once a step child of science also and now it stands independently and firmly on its own two feet. So, there is hope that parapsychology will one day follow suit.
I guess Im a paranormal moderate and I would say that most of here on the Forum are too (anyone like to disagree with this? Now would be a good time to raise your hand). My moderation comes from not feeling that I don’t have to prove or defend anything about parapsychology. To me, the paranormal just is. So, let the qualitative and quantitative research continue.
Does you interest in the paranormal come from personal experience Nina or is it more an offshoot of religious beliefs perhaps?
Cheers
Rosemary
Hello, Rosemary,
If I had been able to sit with these spirits. . . . . It is hard to imagine what would have transpired.
I remember when my sister was dying and I visited her in the hospital. She had been unresponsive but had a sudden rally and I was called to her bedside by my mother. I recall trying to comfort her by saying, “Just think, Donna, in a wee bit you will know all the answers to the many questions that we have here on Earth.”
I would have liked to asked my dear ones, why was I left alone while all of them went to the other side? What was the reason for this? Was there anything that they could tell me that could comfort me and take away my fear of death? What is it like on the other side?
None of them gave me any final words before they passed so I do not have closure.
It is interesting that there are signs given to us from those who have passed. The first Christmas after my sister had died, I was putting away the Christmas tree. It stood on a raised platform in our living room opposite of a large house plant. As I packed the empty tree in its box, I noticed a lone red shiny ball on one of the branches of the huge house plant. I asked Hubby if he placed the ball on the branch. He was confused and honestly knew nothing about it. I certainly did not put it there and the two of us are alone in the house except for dear doggy.
The only conclusion that I reached was that it was a “message” from my sister who was a practical joker and loved to have fun.
Louise, you’re so right. It seems to be the more we live the more questions we have that go unanswered.
I believe we choose the family into which we are born and within that context, I guess we each have our own path to tread.
I remember some time back when I heard an old friend had died unexpectedly I wailed and felt myself open up and for a few days we were together again. It was such a comforting and intimate experience and I can remember that it began with a sense of me ‘opening up’. Obviously, this isnt the only way to be with the deceased – which of course leads me to create another unanswered question – how many ways are there to open up?
I have always believed in the supernatural although for a long time I had never myself experienced anything from that realm.
Within a five year period, my sister, grandmother, and mom died and I had the chore of emptying the family home in order to sell it. Since I had grown up in the house, I did not have any fear or qualms about the place.
On a crisp sunny autumn day, I made my way to my former home to clean out a few rooms. I went to the second floor in order to access the attic. The attic was reached through a trap door in the ceiling and attached to the trap door was a ladder which could be pulled down in order to climb up there. There were steel spools on either side of the ladder rungs to help the ladder slide up and down. As I climbed up and down the stairs, the steel spools vibrated in sympathy with my steps. I threw the items down from the attic directly to the second floor in order to save a few steps. Then when I had a big pile, I came down and brought the things to the living room on the first floor.
As I was sorting through the clothes and the linens on the first floor in the living room, I became aware of the spools spinning. It was as if invisible feet were descending the ladder. I knew that the vibrations were not left over from when I came down because a little bit of time had passed. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise. I knew in my heart that this was no ordinary happening. I had to get finished with my work. I called out, ” I know that someone is here with me. Please leave me alone so that I can take care of this.”
I wish that I could say that was the end. I told myself that I was just edgy and imagining things. I went back up to the attic to continue. My grandfather had removed doors from several of the rooms to give the house a more open appearance. These doors were never thrown away and were placed along the walls in the attic. As I pulled old curtains and bags from large piles, I heard knocking from behind one of the doors. I discounted it the first time I heard it but then it continued as least twice more.
The house stands alone so it was not someone in an adjoining house or even animals or birds. Since I was the only one of the family left and two of the deaths were untimely, I think that family members were trying to communicate their presence to me.
But instead of being comforted, I was very unnerved and never ever went back to the house alone again.
Louise, welcome to Psychic Revolution and thanks for joining in.
I must say Im with you when it comes to being unnerved by certain occurrences – particularly when Im alone. I know all the talk about the imagination taking over but more times than not I suspect these happenings are genuine rather than imagined. I wish there was some universal system already in place for communicating with the spirit world – perhaps this is something that needs to be seriously considered? – because, if there was such a thing, I reckon people would be less scared of the paranormal and we would be far more advanced in our knowledge of the other realms.
I think it’s a pretty natural response to be frightened of parapsychological phenomena but I cant help asking do you ever think what might have been if you’d been able to sit with these spirits?
PS: No, at the time I didn’t have a clue “what” to call what happened. I heard of astral-projection in boot camp a couple of years later and tried that many times to no avail and then OBE thru a PSI group in San Diego, which was when I consciously tried that, also to no avail.
The 2nd OBE I attempted to do consciously, but fell asleep and slept for nearly 16 hours, waking up feeling very, very drained. At one point during the experience I remember asking my Self if this was OBE or Dream, but couldn’t answer myself. When writing that experience in my journal, I used the term “Lucid, visceral dream, possible astral-projection, but since have redefined as OBE.
Blessings,
Fel
I realize my experiences noted above were truncated versions, so let me expand a bit.
In the first one, when I was roughly 15, a friend (B.) was spending the night on a hot June summer night. As teen boys would do we sat up talking until who knows what hour. I thought I was still sitting up talking when I suddenly noticed I was “dreaming” of being at another friends (G.) house. Being the jokester and general smart@$$ of the bunch, since the friend was drinking beer I decided to knock his can over in his lap as he wasn’t paying attention to it next to him on the arm of the couch.
The loud music, other kids lounging or passed out on furniture or floor, watching my friend “french” his girlfriend and so forth, typical teen stuff. He left the next day for his summer vacation in Oklahoma with family so it was about a month before I saw him again. Even then it was another few weeks, second week of August, before the friend (B.) staying with me when the OBE happened, myself and (G.) were all together.
It was then the “Dream Journal” was brought up by (B.) as he thought it was silly. (G.) did confirm everything being just as I had said about who was at his house, where (J.) and (GG.) were passed out AND the beer mysteriously dumping in his lap. (G.) thought it was strange that it would fall TOWARDS him when it should have dumped AWAY from him if it were an accident by knocking it over with his arm. (G.) has always thought I talked to his g’f or one of the other kids at his party rather than it being OBE. This is when I realize I was “different” than most of my friends and rarely brought up paranormal, UFO, psychic abilities etc with any of them. Too much ridicule even as a teen.
Even the night this happened I awoke later that morning and wrote in my book while (B.) was asleep, but of course he woke before I was done and gave me a ration over the silliness of a “Dream Journal”. So much so I almost never used it again.
The second OBE I would rather discuss in private, than a public board.
Blessings Be,
Felbain
As a Mum your post reminds me of how sensitive we are to aside comments by friends and family. Im pleased you didnt give up on the dream journal. Do you still maintain it? Ive noticed that as Ive aged I remember my dreams less. Ive gone from reliving my dreams in detail to barely remembering anything at all. If you do, I wonder whether writing these experiences down helps with immediate recall? Rosemary
I have experienced OBE twice, for sure, and perhaps more though I can not document these other experiences. Both of the times I did experience OBE I logged them in my “Dream Journal”. A journal I keep where I write down specific or extreme dreams. Both were acknowledge quite some time after the experience and only through documenting time and date was I able to confirm it as OBE and not just dream.
Thankfully on both occasions I had someone accompanying me during my side of the event. Unfortunately I have not been able to OBE consciously. Both of my experiences were while I thought I was dreaming and had no specific intention of OBE. I have tried numerous times over the past 20 years to deliberately OBE, to no avail.
This in itself puzzles me as I was under the impression OBE’s had to be consciously manifested.
Blessings Be,

Hi Felbain
Welcome to Psychic Revolution.
You’ve raised an interesting point about conscious versus unconscious OBE. Personally, I have only ever experienced the latter but it seems to me it is the former that is written and spoken about the most.
I was aware of my adventure only after the event – were you aware of what was happening at the time?
Cheers
Rosemary
Thanks for dropping by Judy. I agree with you, in saying that OBE are more common than people realize. I just love this example that youve given of the interaction. Can you also confirm that his friend saw you, without any prompting from your son, and that he too regards himself as psychic?
Rosemary
I believe that out of the body experiences are quite common as I have spoken to many people about this and been favourably received and they have said that they have thought that, yes, they HAVE had this experience.
I have been able to do this since as far back as I can remember in that, I am able to walk around the house at night and check to see what’s going on and am then able to go back to my bedroom and see myself lying in bed. I just return to my body ‘in my mind’ and that is what happens.
Several years ago, I was asked if other people could see me when I did this and I had to say that I did not know BUT I then thought I wonder if I can make this happen? I therefore decided to try to go to my son’s home and try to see what happened.
I had gone to bed as normal and visualised my son’s living room and walked through from the front hall into the back dining room. I was able to see that my son and his mate were sitting watching TV- it was about 11pm.
As I walked behind the sofa I saw them both turn round and stare at me – I was so amazed by this that I did not try to communicate with them I just carried on walking in my mind and went back to my body at home.
The next day my son ‘phoned me and asked me what I was doing at his house last night? He was not particularly bothered as he is psychic too. I told him what I had done and he said that they both saw me quite clearly and I was dressed in my pyjamas (as I was in bed at home). Good job I WAS wearing night attire!
This occurence rather amazed me and when I told my daughter, who is not particularly psychic, she asked me not to do it to her as it would scare her to death.
I have not bothered to do this since that time but I think I would like to try it as a controlled experiment so that more of this subject can be explored.
