Wow, quite an interesting slew of replies, let's see what I can do,

The other day me, my brother, and my boyfriend decided we were going to pull a prank on our friend. Our friend , Yoder, is into all that paranormal stuff and has been watching all these weird videos on youtube of ghosts, aliens, and other ungodly stuff lately, and he decided he wanted to try and catch something on his video camera. So me, my bro (Koda) , and Kc (bf) planned that we would get some of my fake blood, take him to the local rundown park in the woods, and fake an attack. Everything was going good, I had the blood in my pocket, it was extremely dark so we had a heavy duty flashlight, and Yoder was filming and scared already. After watching him jerk and twist around at every little sound, I ran back towards the truck. I got out the fake blood, squished a capsule in my mouth to let it gush out, spread a little on my neck to look like a slash wound, did the same on my arms, tore my shirt to look like rips, spread some on the ground, and I was ready. I let out the most realistic, bloodcurdling scream, and posed myself in an unnatural position (flexible so it didn't hurt) on the ground. It took what seemed like hours before I heard pounding feet on the ground rushing my way. Trying my best not to giggle, I was waiting just to hear him freak out. Next thing I know, though, I was being lifted off the ground by Kc, and hauled into the truck. Everyone piled into the truck screaming their heads off (including me in confusion), and Kc floored it out of the park. Nobody would tell me what went on until we were back in town under the lights. Koda was crying, something that's hard to make him do, and Yoder and Kc were both trying to explain what happened at the same time. Basically, they saw something that looked like a really shaggy deer, but stood on two legs. They saw the thing, tried to get a better look at it, then got freaked out and sprinted back to the truck when it looked at them. I still don't know if they got spooked by someone playing a trick out there dressed up, their imagination, or something legitimately freaky out there. I choose not to believe it though because I didn't see it and I'm one of those "I don't believe it until I see it" people.

TL;DR: Friends saw creepy, shaggy deer on two legs in woods,  pee themselves, and nope all the way back to the truck.

wow, that was a freaky claim, even freaked the hell out of me.  one of my friends would instantly say demon, but I am not sure, are there any Native americans living in the local area? couldn't hurt to ask them about what they saw, I have spoken with native american Shamans and folklore experts on some of my cases when the activity seems to be land based, they are VERY helpful.

I don't really know how to explain it...

Spirits can manifest in an object, usually related to it's death or an object that it was attached to in life. It's sort of like it's storing it's energy in the object(I think). If the object is moved somewhere else in the world, the spirit moves with it.

Lance could explain it better, I'm not even sure if that was right 

Like the pokemon Spiritomb

Kinda, though Spiritomb is the manifestation of wicked souls that were sealed inside that keystone, in reality it is commonly an object that the person was close to in life or an object that caused a persons death, such as a gun, knife or other things because it would attain some of the spirit's energy at the point of death.
 

My friend told me a story about him going to his dead great-grandmother's house. He had to sleep in her old room. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he saw her sitting in a chair, and he felt a sense of pleasure before immediately falling asleep again.
He seemed really serious when he told the story, and he's not one to lie about things like that without confessing to it.
Just want to get your opinion on this.

oh this is quite common phenomena it means that she is just there watching over the family, nothing to fear ^_^, wish my deceased relatives would do such a thing.

Hmm, there were some strange occurances in my life that could count as paranormal experiences. I mostly write them off as paranoia, but I might as well share.

1. When I was younger - around the age of eight or nine - my parents took my sister and I, along with a couple of their friends, to a nice restaurant. I can't remember the occasion, but I do remember that my father had asked for a more private table and we were brought to this small room (a wine-cellar, I would later learn) with only a couple of tables and a doorway without a door. After taking my seat, a feeling of unease swept over me and throughout the course of the dinner, it grew into absolute terror and panic. I have felt fear before, everyone has, but never before had I felt so... I don't know. Close to death? All I knew - all that was running through my head - was that I had to get out of that room immediately - I remember eventually being reduced to tears because of that, much to my parents' displeasure. To avoid further embarressment in front of their friends, my father had escorted me out of the restaurant - and I was mumbling my thanks the entire way. Once in the car, however, I felt much better, until I realized my father was going back into the restaurant. Naturally, I freaked out, but not for the normal reasons - not because I was an eight/nine year old child in the back of an empty car late at night, but because someone I loved was going back to the bad place. Again, I was in hysterics, begging him not to go back - begging him to just get my mother and sister and leave. Eventually, he gave in, but I recieved a great tongue lashing all the way home. I didn't mind in the slightest, I only felt great relief.

Now, I've always been somewhat paranoid, and under any other circumstance, I'd dismiss this entirely. But there's just something... wrong about how I felt. I've never felt fear so intense - as though I knew death would find me if I stayed too long in that room. I remember the feeling clearly, and it still gives me the creeps... I try to forget it.


2. My older step-sister sometimes claimed to see things that weren't there - more specifically, people. Normally, I'd roll my eyes at her or tell her to get some sleep, but there was one instance that really got to me. The day was either Saturday or Sunday - a day without school - and everyone was gathered in the family room to watch a bit of television (my father, my sister, my step-mother, my step-sister and myself). Now, let me give you a bit of insight on how my house is set up. The living room is right in front of the kitchen, separated only by a counter. To the direct right of the family room is an open staircase which led to a sort of half-catwalk upon which you could clearly see my younger sister's open door first followed by my open door. Getting back to the story, everything was fine - it was the middle of the day with the sun lighting up the house and we were watching some sort of comedy show when all of a sudden, my step-sister flips out. She jumps about a foot off the couch and grabs one of the pillows, kind of whisper-yelling "Oh my god!" Naturally we, her family, turn to her with concern and she looks at me. "Someone just went into your room!" she told me, eyes wide and serious, freaking me out a bit. Upon further questioning, she explained that she saw 'something' out of the corner of her eye move up the last few steps and disappear through my open doorway once she turned her head. She claimed the figure was humanoid, and seemed like a shadow. Looking up, I saw nothing, and neither did the rest of my family, so we dismissed my step-sister immediately. She was adamant though, and refused to believe that what she saw was a figment of her imagination. We tried to tell her that it was probably the ceiling fan in my room casting shadows (it was almost always on- I like my room really cold, otherwise I can't sleep). Unfortunately, when my younger sister and I went up to investigate (my older sister refused to go check it out) my fan was, surprisingly, not on. Since then, nearly every person in my immediate family (with the exception of my father) had some sort of weird... occurance.

- My step-mom thought she saw a child going through our pantry (and for that matter, thought that I had screamed her name early one morning, but I had not). Whoever it was or whatever it was faded before she could get a proper look. Now, she claims that she was just tired and seeing things.

- While my younger sister was sleeping, I went into her room to look for something. She could sleep through WWIII, so I wasn't concerned. All of a sudden, the eleven year old bolts upright and stares out the open door behind me with the most horrified expression on her face (her eyes were actually bulging and her entire frame was stiff) She looked as though a mass murderer were behind me, holding an axe over my head or something of that nature. For three or four minutes, I tried to shake her out of it, and eventually succeeded, only for my sister to look at me in confusion and fall back asleep.

- A few days after my step-sister's sixteenth birthday, the family and I were staying at a condo by the beach with only two rooms. One my dad and step-mom had, the other I shared with my sisters. That morning, my step-sister wakes me up, calling my name warily. She explains that at some point in the night, I had sat up in my bed and started chanting some sort of incoherent babble under my breath. Then, I repeated the phrase "three more times" thrice before returning to sleep. She said I was clutching my abdomen as if in pain, and rocking back and forth.

I would like to point out right now that I live in Florida - incredibly hot almost year round. I would also like to point out that my ceiling fan sucks. It does little more than circulate air and occasionally blows room temperature air at me. Now that you know that, you should also know that for a majority of the year, my room is an icebox. And only my room. No, my room does not have separate air conditioning and yes, I only use my fan. My step-mom always says that my room is unnaturally cold and that I must have one great fan, but I don't. On the rare days that my room isn't just cold, the fan does nothing. If anything, it just makes the room stuffy, so I leave it off.

okay, #1: doesn't sound like anything paranormal, sounds like you were in what is known in paranormal investigation as a "Fear Cage" despite how foreboding that term is, it really isn't that scary, just means that the room was gushing out EMFs which can create feelings of dread, creeped out feelings, skin irritation, hallucinations, and other things, children are Very sensitive to these so sounds like you were just suffering from exposure.

#2. when it comes to your step sister, there is no doubt about it, She is psychic, in other words she can sense spirits, see them at times, and potentially communicate with them, I can recommend some books on the subject of psychic development if she is interested.

#3.  I would recommend checking into the history of the property, see if there were any child deaths, that may explain what your mom experienced.

#4.  Probably just a nightmare, I have my doubts on that instance being paranormal.

#5.  the instance in the condo, that is a bit bizarre, the only thing I can think of non paranormal wise is that you were just talking weirdly in your sleep, people do that all the time.

lastly, that is a phenomena known as cold spots, the theory behind that is that an entity trying to manifest requires energy.  and sometimes that energy can come from the heat in the air, creating what is known as a cold spot.

Dude o.0 that's some freaky stuff...family haunted maybe?

Speaking of shadow people, my mother decided to get a video of me and my bro playing QWOP yesterday. She was looking dead serious at the video and called me over to watch it saying she saw shadow people (she watches all these dumb, fake ghost movies and is very paranoid). I went over and watched, and yes I did see shadows, but it wasn't shadow people. It was a weird black mist/smudge thing that alternated between getting bigger each time we laughed, and smaller when we would calm down. I looked at her, laughed, and called her crazy. I'm dismissing it as her camera being low quality, but is there anything similar? Just wondering, for all you people who know about this kind of stuff. Not asking her because all she does is watch the movies, not search for the actual facts.

Black mist is a type of activity, I have seen it a couple times on investigations, not much is known about it, at least to me that is so sry if I don't have much info to provide

[Tickles]

It could be an error with the camera depending on how old it is. Some cameras mics can distort images, which could explain how the shadow reacted to loud laughter. If the camera is old, and has received minimal damage, then this could be a high possibility.

The closest Indian reservation is in Oklahoma about an hour and a half away from me. Maybe I'll pay them a visit next time I head that way. Never heard of demons that would haunt woods before, though. Then again I guess there's no reason they can't reside anywhere they want. I'm not quite learned in all this I'm afraid.

#1- Okay, that makes sense. Are some children unaffected, though? My sister at the time was around three or four, and from what I remember, she didn't seem the slightest bit uneasy.

#2- Strange enough, my step sister doesn't really believe in that sort of thing - psychics and whatnot - but to this day, she still won't step foot in my room. She'll stand outside of it, if she needs me, but won't even open the door. Kinda creepy to be honest, but nothing bad's happened, save for the vents flying open at times (something probably clogged or dirty or whatever my father said) so I let it go. I could believe that she's psychic, though the mentionings of seeing things has slowly faded over the years. The last time she saw something was at the age of seventeen (Year and a half ago) when she was coming home from a freind's house at night. She claimed that a she saw an aged man in the center of the road, wearing blue pajamas and glaring angrily at her - pointing his finger. She didn't realize that no one else could see him until other cars began to honk at her and drive around, through the fading old man. After that, no more strange visions to hear of.

#3- Yeah, I'll look into that, see if she wasn't just seeing things. Didn't you say something earlier about psychic abilities being inherited? My step-mom could have passed on something to my step-sister. *shrugs*

#4-Good, 'cause that freaked the bejezzus out of me. 

#5- Yeah, I would think so too, except that I don't talk in my sleep. My younger sister mumbles and my step-sister laughs, but for all the times that I've slept in the same room as someone (camping, hotels, etc.) I've been told that I 'sleep like a rock'. No movement or sound. Plus, I remember the dream I was having. The day prior I developed a bit of sun poisoning on the tops of my feet, so my dreams revolved around that. One moment I was standing in ankle deep water, the next I was in ankle deep lava. After that, I had a dream about joining a sports team at school... but that's besides the point.  xP

So... An entity is trying to manifest... in my room?? ... Could it have something to do with whatever my step-sister saw walk in here?

#1: sensitivity varies from person to person, I occasionally get effected every now and then,

#2: I have heard of people who have mentally shut the door on their abilities, sometimes by choice and sometimes by people around her saying that it is not real, I deal with it all the time because I recently discovered that I am psychic too, I just talk to my fellow wiccans for support on this and such.  maybe the reason she stays away from your room is that there is a remnant of her ability remaining.

#3: Yes Psychic abilities can be inherited, though in some form or another EVERYONE is psychic in one way or another,

#4: I would be terrified too!

#5: that makes it even weirder, haven't encountered anything of that nature

#6: wouldn't surprise me
