Have You Ever Had A Paranormal Experience? by Lisaflex(f): 10:42pm On Jan 04, 2015
A paranormal experience refers to an event that has defied scientific explanation or a supernatural event.
A lot of people may have had the chance to see things that others can't or couldn't see and have either kept it to themselves because they do not think that anyone would believe them or may have told someone/people who just scoffed at them and called them crazy.If you fall within this category,i want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who believe in the paranormal and are eager to listen to your story/stories.
Here's my story... Wen i was either 3 or 4yrs old, I started seeing millipedes that others couldn't see and it was so scary because they weren't just lying around but were always advancing towards me and trying to get on my body.I would cry and/or scream each time i saw them and would jump on the sofa or on any adult close by.It became so bad that i couldn't even sit down to eat,couldn't sleep or play anymore ,i preferred to be carried around by the adults and once a move was made to drop me on the floor,i would scream and cry lyk all hell had been let loose. At some point,I became so ill and lost a lot of weight .That was when my parents took me serious n decided to take me to the church.At the church, i would stop seeing the millipedes but the moment i get back home,i start seeing them again. As a result,i frequented and slept at the church for quite some time.Later on,our house help confessed to being a witch and being responsible for my torments after which she was sent away.After she left,i stopped seeing the millipedes and everything returned to normal.
So,what's your own story?

I usually feel a build up of tears when ever I speak about these things.

When I was six, playing in the courtyard all alone, I saw a being hovering above me in the hot afternoon sky. He was a man except that his skin was extremely smooth and white like china porcelain plate. White as in the colour of snow. He came down slowly towards me. A flowing equally white garment covered him and, his face, faintly seen, had what I could think was a smile. I passed out. I woke up in the hospital surrounded by my parents, siblings and neighbors. My parents and siblings alone believed me when I later told them what I saw.

I cant recall why I passed out nor whether I was scared. Funny thing is when ever I try to think and recall the true details of the encounter I ll start feeling tears building up in my eyes and it wont stop till it has blurred my vision and befuddled my relevant senses. I have learned not to worry about more details of the apparition.
I hav a feeling if I fast for many days in isolation I could summon the whole memory but am not gonna try that!

In the yuletide of '86, my dad drove us home. I like to cut bamboo to use as a barrel in making christmas gun. I went into a nearby forest to cut the stick. Behold as I was cutting, the stem became a human leg and blood splashed on my cloth! I screamed and took to my heels. No words can explain the fear n fright dat struct me. Till today I fear every tree, esp those in d bush!
My dad n uncle, awestruck, followed me to d spot when they saw d splash of blood on my cloth n on d matchet I used. D stem had returned to normal as we all arrived! But splashes of blood still adorned d base of d subject stem and a few nearby shrubs.

Many people were taken to confirm the site of the occurrence. Some elderly men later opened up the late owner of dat land was an evil man who imported a tabooed culture of nite, anti-feminine cult into the village and had several blood on his hands, both from those he fell by himself or by privy at home and in the distant lands he escaped from back home.

This world! I always weep for the ignorant and those who doubt the world hangs on nothing.

Some years ago, I called my dad, my mom, my grandfather, my grandmother and my elder bro - these four people are thos whos words I count on and believe, I asked them one by one" hav u seen somthin like a spirit or a ghost or an apparition or an extrahuman before?" They all simply said no.

My experience of the paranormal is a little weird. Since I was a child, I have loved to fall asleep with my hands in my boxers. It's weird, yes, but it's a habit that I cannot do without even until today. Anyway, so a few years ago, I went to visit this girl that I had been toasting for a while, and we ended up knocking boots on the first night.

At some point in the middle of the night after we had fallen asleep with the lights off, something in my subconscious startled me awake. Immediately I noticed that my joystick was missing from its usual spot. Oboy, come see shout. I was so shocked I just began to scream "My joystick! Where's my joystick!!!". Na so the girl wake up tell me "Your hand is in my pant you ediot!"

Yes indeed I am skeptical. Growing up, everything I "knew" about the supernatural/paranormal I had heard from other people and from movies. All the times that I came close to something that was supposed to be juju, it turned out to be a load of bullsh*t. Basically, I have not once experienced any such phenomena myself.

Of course this does not mean that such things do not exist conclusively. Rather, I put very little trust in subjective human accounts, knowing how easy it is for the brain to create events according to a person's beliefs/fantasy, or to wrongfully attribute exceptionality to normal events.

Moreover it seems that accounts of the paranormal are more prevalent in societies characterized by relative scientific ignorance, high religiosity and substantial economic/life uncertainty.

Everytime a person open his/her eyes, The first thing the eyes sees is the nose just below it. except and only when you pay attention or you really want to see the top of your nose, that is the only time you are conscious about it, without concentration on your nose, you can go straight ten years without consciously noting your nose. it is called blind spot or gray area if i am not wrong. So there are millions of entities and things that passes or do the strangest thing right in our face that we do not see, but believe me it is right there. some people are consciously awake (it's a gift), the see things as they actually are unluckily for them as the modern people would believe, which is pure ignorance. A smallest example are pick pocketing, magic tricks, card tricks, thay are always done right in our faces while our eyes are wide opened. our brains catches every micro second movement, but our eyes sees what you want to see.
