The Supernatural / the Ghosties!

Do you believe in Spirits?

I'd say that I know spirits are real. Being that I've had so scary experiences in my childhood. Having something that held me down and I couldn't speak or move, then it would run away. (Maybe it was a Bill Collector)

Also the fact that I have some kind of spirit awareness.

Anyways...Spirits, real or not? If so, then explain why you believe they are real.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, a demon is an evil spirit. That is what attacked me when I was half asleep one night. I got scared all of a sudden then something just ran into my room and held me down so I couldn't move or speak.

I'm sure it was an evil spirit. You are right about them just being a distraction from god.

Something I've noticed over my lifetime is that you're connected more to the spirit world when you're half asleep. That's exactly why most sightings happen at night.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're thinking more logically about the whole deal. You can't really explain it like that. I just know because that's when I'm more in touch with spiritual feelings. I can't exactly explain it all out, part of it is feeling it yourself. Like God.

Also, not everyone has spirit awareness.

But as for the whole recap....One night when I was younger, I was really scared because of something my sister told me (which proves I need to exterminate her sometime). I keep myself up with fear, basically.

When I was really really really close to falling asleep, I got a jolt of fear. That's when this kind of being came running in and held me down. I felt like someone was pressing down on me really hard, I felt it standing right by me. I couldn't speak or move at all, only think. Like 10 seconds later it let go after thinking some godly thoughts. Then I felt it run out of the room. Then I conviently remembered something my mom said, "the devil is afraid of the lord".

Actually, this is a common story. I'm sure a moderate amount of other individuals went through that.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Again, you can't really explain it with Logic.

Spirits are on the same level as detecting God. Have you seen God with your 2 eyes lately?

Ouch. I didn't expect a response with Pot in it.

But anyways, it still stands. I know what I felt. I can't explain the feeling to you. (I know it wasn't cause by pot though, dawg). Build a time machine and travel back into time to my bedsite and document what you see.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Again, I believe that they can only physically touch you when you're close to your sleep state. That's why some people have said they woke up with marks on them (frat party?). My sister actually said that happened to her.

But, as for trusting TV Shows for that type of stuff, I'd say Nada.

Double Post:
elwe, your post is right too. We pass through each other. I believe that being half asleep is the equilibrium.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nahual, That's completely possible that a spirit was calling your name. That is something that happens to my Sister a lot. You might have someone who actually wants to communicate with you or needs to rest in peace.

Anyways, about the show. I still don't know. They could just be paying people to tell those stories.

FELIPE NO

Paritally I believe in spirits because of the bible. It was said in it that spirits roam the Earth.

Another third is because of the feelings I get when I happy or mad. When I'm happy I feel as though my spirit is lifting and that Good spirits are passing through me. When I'm mad I feel as though something evil is getting near and watching me. Also a feeling of heat.

And the last piece of the pie...I just don't believe that everyone just dies and stays in the ground. I just don't believe that somehow, everyone would just stay dead when they have some unsettled business. Like being raped and killed. There's a reason they say "Rest in Peace" for common courtesy. You can't really rest in peace if you died know that nobody loved you or something. (This explanation might have been a little harder to grasp then the others)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yes. According to my sisters, everything we do is the result of good or bad spirits passing through us. I thought that was a bit of an extreme statement but I just wonder...

How ya doing, buddy?
