This isnt all about supernatural stuff, just different experiences, in no particular order, and its long but I feel like typing, so I hope you feel like reading

I used to have the sleep paralysis thing all the time when I was little. I would have to wiggle my toes and get parts of my body to move before I could get up. The scary part is that I sleep on my stomach so often when I would wake up I would be afraid I would suffocate, I would get real panicky. When I got older and read about new age stuff like astral projection, thinking back I thought that may have happened a couple of times also, because there were a few times, I would remember looking down at the room from an areal position, I could see myself sleep, I could see my mom coming in, putting clothes away and moving things around too. When I woke up the things were placed just like I saw/dreamed, so I never doubted that it had happened. Now that I'm not into new age stuff I dont know what to think, as it was something I experienced.
I had a darn good sex dream once too, during a time and age that such things were not a part of my every day thinking. It was so real but along the lines of the astral thing, its like I knew it wasnt happening physically but all the sensations were there. Man now if I could get THAT in real life. I had VIVID memories of that for months afterwards.
Background for the next one:
When we were growing up my sister thought I was possessed. I didnt know the reason at the time, but after one of my brothers died (I was 4, she was 8, he was 17) my sister started having problems. She was scared of the dark, scared of death. At times she thought she couldnt breath and stuff. Years later, I was probably about 10 or 12, we were having this argument. She wanted the door open and the hall light on, and I wanted all the lights out, because then I couldnt see shadows and scare myself to death. We had bunk beds, I'm on the top bunk, shes on the bottom. She kept getting up to open the door, I kept getting down to close it. This went on for about 20 mins or so. Finally she gets up, opens the door, and props it open with her trumpet case. I get up and stand on the edge of my bed at the top bunk, reach over to the edge of the door, and slammed it shut. With the angle the case was on the door, when it shut the case ended up in the room. The way it happened it looked like someone had kicked the case in the room and slammed the door shut. I feel back on the bed just laughing. (She claims it was a demonic laugh-lol) She hopped up and demanded, how did you do it? I said I didnt do it. She said you did it, how did you do it? I denied it. Then I had a bugs bunny flash back (I wish my brother George was here). So I said my friend George did it. Y'all shoulda seen the look of fear on her face. It was priceless. Man. Anyway, after seeing her reaction I made up all kinds of stuff about "George". He even had a lil bulldog named Bernie who wore a red sweater, with a gold "B" on it, and one of those red and white propeller hats like the lil kid on the Jetsons wore. (Yeah I grew up addicted to cartoons, so what?) I terrorized her for years. ("You better not do so and so, Imma tell George", "Be careful you almost stepped on Bernie") *sigh* Those were the good ole days. So, long story short, my family actually thought I thought I had an imaginary friend, or worse, a friend that WASNT imaginary, when all the while I just made it up to mess with my sister. Well around this time too, weird things started happening, things my sister said she experienced, like a presence in the house etc. Doors closing or whatever. I think I was seeing flashes of light off and on, like something moving quickly. It could have just been my mind playing tricks tho.
One night my nephew was spending the night. He is about my age. We had taken the bunk beds down by now and just had single beds. I was sleep so she was going to give him her bed and and sleep with me. They said when she went to get into bed with me a loud voice said "NO!!" Yall, I woke up in the bedroom by MYSELF the next day. They were both looking at me all crazy. I was like, this happened and yall LEFT ME? She said she figured it was someone I knew. She swears its true and she has confessed to all the other child hood stuff by now so I have no reason to doubt her.
I also had parakeets when I was growing up. I loved my birds. I normally had 2-4 at a time. One night I was watching tv, and one of my parakeets got on the bottom of the cage and was flapping and hopping around. They did this every now and again. A voice in my head, (not my own) said. "The death of a bird", like it was teaching me. I kind of nodded to myself, then I snapped out of it and ran to the cage. Sure enough a few minutes later my bird had died.
This next one I have only told my sister, but I may as well share here. About six years ago, I was going through some hard times and I was really upset. I wasnt working for the first time in my life. My family was worried about me, finances were bad. My sister (the second one) was paying for a trip for me to go see her in Geneva. I had just come from meijers, and had purchased some books to take with me. One of them, I was really drawn to. It was called God.com. When I read the inside cover I sort of started to tear up a lil so I bought it. Well driving home 10 minutes or so later, a voice in my head said "I will bless you and your finances.". It definitely wasnt my own thoughts. It was like a simple, gentle statement of fact. Well come to find out, the book was about this mans experience with an "interactive" God. About God speaking to him. I wouldnt have gotten the full value of the book had I not had that experience. I wouldnt have been able to relate, or believed with certainly. You know how you read some spiritual stuff and you think, "yeah, but I dont have those types of PERSONAL experiences." Well I had finally had one and it made me think back to the parakeet incident and wonder if it had been God then. My brother, who is a serious biblical scholar doesnt believe in speaking in tongue or certain gifts for this dispensation. He says that those Gifts are no longer in operation, and that anyone claiming to have spoken literally with God or speaking in tongues is under demonic influence and I know some churches have that same belief. I dont know, I just know when those words were spoken, I had an instant sense of peace and calm, I had hope for my future, felt joy, and I cant see satan giving me something like that. A year or two after the incident I told my sister, (the first one) and she said she believed me because when my father died someone wanted her to work overtime. She said she heard a voice say "You cant do that, your father just died". She called home and he had just passed.
My mother said a few weeks before the brother I mentioned earlier had passed, someone came to her in a dream and tried to make her choose which one of her children would die. I cant remember if it was between all of us or just my oldest sister and the brother that did pass. She said she couldnt choose and in the dream my sister died and was taken out of the house on a stretcher. In the dream her arm fell down as the paramedics were taking her out the house. When my brother died, as they were taking him out the house, she said his arm feel down in the exact same position.
I used to have deja vu stuff all the time too, I would dream stuff and then it would happen. One time it really freaked me out because in the dream I, my sister in law at the time, and some of her friends were having a convo. In the dream there was a sense of panic and dread, like I was in danger or something was wrong or about to happen. This bothered me for a while. When the actual convo took place I remembered the dream, we were all seated in the same order, same clothes etc. I was like, " I dreamed this !" Needless to say, they thought I was nuts
. Nothing ill that I know of ever resulted from that day tho.
Ok...for the most part I think thats all my spooky and weird stuff...
This is long enough so I'm not going to go into the time period when I was 18 or so and had a ouija board. I swear, I neva should have watched the movie Witchboard. You know I purchased it at toysRus of all places? Those things are dangerous.
