Do you belive in ghosts?

[Boofo]

It has nothing tio do with wanting to believe or not believe. Want has no part in it. Either you believe or you don't. But I don't think anyone ever "wants" to believe it is happening to them.

You believe in ghosts, and you see ghosts in your bedroom, and you still sleep in it?

Few things..

- Strange white light appeared in my friends room, all dark inside nowhere for the light to cast but appeared in the corner and wouldnt go away (his house is haunted.. numerous reasons)

- In his room, hand shadows appear going over the pillows.. weird

- His new house (also haunted.. family thing) Walking shadows appear to walk past the window over and over..

- Also in the new house, fag ends appear out of no where( like what his uncle used to do b4 he died, just leave em around)..

I am no expert but here is what I understand of it: In your sleep your body repairs itself, most things must be relaxed so they can be repaired. Durring sleep your body produces a chemical (probbly not the correct term...), this paralyzes while you are asleep.

Sometimes you will wake up and it will take a few minutes before you can move, I have had this happen to me a number of times. At first it was scary but I looked it up, now I understand it is normal and it dosen't bother me much anymore

My first experance with it was a bit worse then yours. I could'nt move which freaked me out, but I managed to open my eyes. For the minute or so that I could'nt move I could see something out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was someone that had broken into my house and injected me with something and thats why I could'nt move. I kept trying to reach for the shotgun I have in the corner of my room beside my bed but I could'nt move, eventally I broke free, grabed the gun, but when I brought the barrel to where the person was standing it was gone.

I know now that my mind played a trick on me, and there was never anyone there, but at the time the thought 'someone is trying to kill me' was racing in my mind, and that minute felt like it lasted forever.

edit- googled it for ya...

Your body can play tricks on you , the mind is even worse...we are just starting to understand the power of our own minds.

You do not know how relieved I am for that explanation! Seriously it makes sense now! Good to know...and I guess it is about time I get a shotgun by my bedside as well.

Read all about it:

Hypnagogic hallucinations = hallucinations you get when you are just about to drop to sleep.

Hypnopompic hallucinations = hallucinations you get when you are just about to wake up.

They are normal and people can sometimes get them.
