Have you ever felt an invisible presence

My mother was spiritual and a very straightforward person. She grew up in a house that had legitimate paranormal activity, who was witnessed by many people. Some of the stuff she told me that happened in the house would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I have no reason to believe my mother would lie about things like that.

One thing always stood out to me. As a young woman my mother got to be VERY good using an Ouija board. She could easily communicate with whatever was on the other side.

One day she asked it where it came from. It repeatedly spelled out “HELL”. My mom who was freaked out stopped using it and threw the board and the planchette in a burn barrel and torched it.

2 days later her niece found the board outside, brought it inside and only the edges were charred. The planchette only had smoke damage.

With no explanation at all she threw it in the trash and never saw it again after that.

Needless to say I won’t go near one of those things
 
Anyone watch any of the "Celebrity Ghost Stories" episodes? There are some down right freaky stories.
 
What explanation is available as to how this planet is so perfect for our carbon life forms. The right distance from the sun, the magnetic shield the moon to help with movement of tides the season changing axis and elliptic orbit. There are many other phenomena unique to our existence that haven`t yet been explained.
Some pretty cool thought out "engineering" comes to mind when you sit back and think about it. It's either that, or it's all just a "completely random coincidence with no rhyme or reason" - so what are the odds of that happening? And we are all here to see it, if willing to look.

It is the skeptic, rather than the believer, who is going to be proven wrong at some point. As I and others have said here, energy cannot be destroyed, so when your life force energy terminates, it must go somewhere. It's highly plausible it goes into another dimension, spirit world, etc. I'm betting on the fact these do exist and we are simply unable to measure them.
Many instances of people having near death experiences (dying for a short time), describing floating out of their body and looking down at themselves, then coming back and describing some pretty wild experiences, some claiming they were told it's "not their time" and "sent back". All very interesting that many instances of near death experiences are similar. Guess we will all have a chancec at some point to see first hand what that's all about. ;)

I won't doubt what others have dealt with firsthand, but have always been skeptical of a Ouija board.

I agree it sounds completely impossible. My mom, her mom and her 2 brothers all lived/ grew up in that house. They all have since passed but apparently that house had serious demonic activity.

My cousin is the only one who is still alive and the one who found the board after it was burned. She remembers it vividly. She was around 10 when that happened.

The house was very old. It was always said that my great grandmother was in a coven and practiced witchcraft in the house with a few of her close friends and that’s why the house has the activity that it did.

my grandmother finally moved from that house in 87 I believe. I was born in 86 and actually spent time as a baby in there. The new owners promptly had it torn down almost immediately after purchasing it. House was located in Huntington WV, last time I was there in 2011 I drove by and there still was nothing built where that house used to sit.

I wish it was still standing. I’d pay a paranormal team to go in and investigate.
 
Real or imagined a few things come to mind.

Growing up, we lived in a mobile home next to my grandparent's house (I'll get around to that in a min). My brother was born in 1980 and I distinctly remember waking up in the middle of the night and peering out of my bedroom down the hallway to my parent's room. At the foot of their bed was a bassinet with my brother in it and there were two people standing over it looking down at him. I would have been 5 at the time. Of course, when I walked down the hall, there was nothing in the room other than 2 sleeping parents and a sleeping baby. I do remember that they weren't dressed 'current' in that their clothes looked old.

My grandparent's farmhouse, that is another matter altogether.

Even into my adult years, I didn't like staying there. As a child, the place flat creeped me out. You had to pass the staircase that led upstairs to get to the bathroom in the house and, for me, there was always just a feeling of dread walking by that staircase. Other family members have stories of things going on in the house, slamming cabinet doors and the like, but I never experienced any of that. Their stories are probably what was giving me the creeps, but I was older when I heard those and the feeling of dread had been with me way longer than that. Later in life I found out that the previous owner of the house was an old drunk of a farmer that basically drank himself to death in the house, so there's that.

Couldn't say I'm a strong believer one way or the other, our brains are fantastically complicated and we probably don't understand 1% of them.

I also find the whole sleep paralysis thing fascinating, although I've never had the exact thing, I have had loud noises happen to me just as I'm drifting off to sleep. That's always fun to think that something in the house fell over, wake back up and check, and then try to get back to sleep.

No reason science and faith can't both exist at the same time. I find it hard for anyone who knows much about the Universe to discount that it wasn't somehow purposely molded in some way, and it's all just some kind of complete random event. Really? ... think about it, IMO there needs to be some kind of call it "driving force" for it to become what it is (that's the "faith" part of the equation). I find it really hard to hear and believe that Steven Hawking didn't believe there was any kind of "driving force" beyond our current knowledge behind it all.
 
We are always one extended power failure away from finding out we are very much as intelligent as early humans.
Sitting around discussing the meaning of the Universe ... or is it rather "thick vs thin" animal fat. :D

I saw a man shapeshift into a reptilian creature. It lasted about 5 seconds.
Then he reverted back.
He was aware that I saw it.
I lived in an area where the water was not fluoridated, so my pineal gland wasn’t compromised— as a lot of us are now.
It happened fast, but as you watch it— it seems like slow motion
A lot of spiritual experiences are

My whole life, up into my 30s, I suffered Hag atacks...waking up with crushing pressure on my shoulders, paralysed, a gruesome yellowed face literally inches above mine, and fetid breath...immense fear...would recite in my mind one of the more common prayers, and it would dissipate, and that was sleep for the night.

I convinced myself over the years that it was sleep paralysis.

1988, I was staying in a dormitory building, run by a mob called Opus Dei...all male.

One night, familiar hag attack...which as I'd said I had convinced myself through science as sleep paralysis...did the recital, and then got out of bed to dose up on coffee, as I wan't going back to sleep.

As I walked down the hall, literally a minute or two after mine, a guy in another room (Pacific Islander), a few doors down started screaming..."get off me you f....... *****", and a few more choice terms...came running out of his room.

I asked him to stop, we made coffee, and then described each other's experience...matched perfectly...identical "sleep paralysis" events, literally minutes apart, and located about 20 feet apart.

Some coincidence, eh ?

I used to have dreams like that. That was until I got over my fear of the devil and let the devil know in no uncertain terms how much I hate him and how much I'm fully prepared to give my life in the process of destroying him. I even asked God for permission to be the one that destroys the devil when and if he decides to let me.
