Share your paranormal experiences!
Janus:
After having a number of run-ins with the paranormal at various points in my life, I thought I should share them here and invite other members to talk of any experiences with unexplained creatures, ghosts or possibly a demon or two (like me), share them here for there are things that can't be explained and this is where we share those stories!
First off myself, I am n00b paranormal investigator trained by one of my College Teachers and have already either debunked a number of claims or found startling evidence for a world beyond the grave.
Let's start with my first experience... I was around 12, nine years ago, I was with my cousin and friends for Halloween and they pulled out the stupidest invention ever: the ouija board. I had heard stories of really negative stuff from those things so I decided to sit out. a few seconds into its use, crazy stuff started happening, Lights burned out, cans of coke slid across tables, we heard a deep, growling laugh, but what I saw, topped all that out by a long shot:
a black mass floating at the end of the hall which formed into a black cloaked figure with no feet hovering in the hall looking directly at me! it started to drift foreword but one of my friends saw it and got in its way with a cross in hand and held it foreword and the entity backed down, to this day, I believe I saw a demon.
but my experiences didn't stop there, this is the one that brought me into doing this stuff, it was two or three years ago, at my local hangout a place that holds official pokemon tournaments, in this case it's a pre-release for DP3 (secret wonders) expansion set. I had finished building my pre-release deck for that tournament and I had to go to the bathroom, I went down the hall and was about to turn on the light, that is until I saw a figure standing in the dark room, its back to me, it was a tall man wearing a gray wispy lab coat and was bald. I was about to call out but it took a step further and walked right through the wall. I hurried upstairs to use the bathroom there, when I got home after that I started looking up the paranormal and I was into it ever since.
Feel free to share your run ins with the paranormal now!

wow. first of all let me say... that is creepy. especialy the first one. second, my experiences dont amount to much but seeing a shadowy figure walking in my house a few times. which could have been just my imagination. either way. you should be carefull. any thing dealing with demons is dangerous. btw, smart move sitting out with the ouija board. i hate those things. they scare me. if i were you i probably would not have even stayed.

Hm, I was about seven and was at home in my room. I was laying on my bed doing pretty much nothing with my light on. My room was pretty tiny, and the bed was to the left of a small entry way into my room--like right up against a wall, so if anyone came in they'd have to walk by the bed (and me) to get to the rest of the room. Anyways, I was staring up at the ceiling when a black--it looked like a head and shoulders(is what I could see)--something peeked out around the entryway wall and looked right down at me. I sat straight up and flew out of my bed. :P
And of course, my mother was in her room, and my brothers were playing video games in the living room. I also didn't here one sound from whatever it was.
I'm not saying it was a ghost, demon or whatever, I don't know what it was, but I do know that I saw it (and it looked like it saw me). It still creeps me out though. >.<

bout the shadow figure, did it seem flat against a wall? or did it seem to have mass to it? if it had mass to it, you saw what is known in paranormal investigation as a shadow person, commonly believed by me and my fellow investigators to be physical manifestations of the dead, I'd recommend first thinking of the time you saw the shadows, was it night or day? if night go to the locations you saw the shadow at, are there any windows that face a light source outside? if so, have somebody you know go outside at this time and walk in front of the light source, if you see something that looks like what you saw, it means that it is probably somebody walking by your house late at night. however if it is NOT what you saw, then I'd recommend having an electrician coming in and checking for faulty wiring, or do it yourself by getting an EMF gauge and scan for Electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the area, seek out those that spike form high numbers to low numbers and back up, this shows that you have faulty wiring, we are all sensitive to EMFs in one way or another, long-term exposure to EMFs can cause feelings of paranoia, hallucinations, skin irritation which may be mistken for being touched by an unknown source, the list is pretty lengthy these are some of the methods that I use on investigations to try and disprove a haunting, that's the primary step of most investigations, if you go in trying to prove a haunting, anything can seem like evidence, but going in trying to disprove can root out the things that can be explained and you're left with what leaves you scratching your head.
after trying the above steps try doing research into the house, see if any of the previous owners died there, if none seek info on the land itself, see if it was the site of any battles, any native american sacred locations or burial grounds (If any, try calling in a local shaman to help, they're usually helpful when dealing with this sort of thing), if you find something that seems right, go to the location you saw the possible entity (NOTE: ONLY DO THIS IF YOU'VE DONE THE STUFF IN THE FIRST PART AND FOUND NOTHING, OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME), bring with you the following items: a video camera, place this in a place where you'll have a wide shot of the area you saw it in, so you'd get a shot of it if this shadow person comes through, A small Digital Voice Recorder for EVPs EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena, Ghost voices that are on a decibel that can't be heard with the human ear, however a simple Digital voice recorder that can be easily bought at radio shack that has no filters on the microphone to block out background noice can pick it up and make it able to hear, (I got mine for 15 bucks), then begin addressing whatever entities may be in the area, invite them to talk and ask questions to the possible spirit like What's your name? Why are you still here? or any others you can think of, I hope this has been a good way to come up with the truth to what you saw there. Happy ghost hunting!

wow, the way you described it creeps me out too, I get a lot of stories like this in this field and they chill my spine every time, do you still live in that house, if so, was there anything else weird going on? if so tell me so I can figure out what you saw, check my previous quote for more details on basic investigation
