Supernatural Experiences

[Utopia]

To get in the spirit of Halloween, I'm gonna open up this thread with a question. Has anyone or anyone you know ever had a supernatural experience. In other words, have you ever been in the presence of a ghost or something else that was ... well ... otherworldly.

If you were to get to know me, you'll learn to know that I am an avid believer in the supernatural. Maybe not to the extent of vampire slayers and fairy tale demons, but I definitely believe in ghosts and such.

For example, when I was 14 or 15, when I was living in Georgia our town was sort of infamous for being haunted. Of course, I was always a skeptic. But one day, me and my friends were walking around a cemetary late at night for a 4th of July fireworks celebration. The graveyard was on top of this huge hill that looked over the whole town. While we were sitting, in the dark mind you, I felt a weird chill down my back and a couple other people said that they felt it too.

At that point, I was a little freaked out but it didn't really phase me. I got up to look around, and didn't see anything until I looked at a mosaleum about 20 feet away from me. In front was a weird figure that I'll always describe as a man with tattered clothes and broken glasses. I only saw him for a couple seconds. When I blinked, he was gone.

So yes, I believe in the supernatural. So has anyone else had any unexplained phenomena happen to them? Feel free to share your stories.

OK... I don't think you'll believe me but here goes:

I was walking to the shops one day with my friends... (was actually the 13th August 2001)... when this old man came up to me. He stopped me and said "Wait!". I was like "What?". Then he said that there was something near me. I thought it was a bee or something so I moved but he said it was something else. So I asked him what it is and said he was scaring me. He said there was a person... in my aura... a man. I freaked. He then described him as wearing a pin striped suit and glasses. He said he was carrying a big camera. I said it was my Grandad... he had that kinda suit in a photo my Grandma showed to me and he was a photographer. The man said he was obviously looking out for me.

It's not all. Exactly a year to the date, I was on my way to work. A big argument had happened at home before I left and I was feeling really stressed. I was waiting for the bus and there was a lady standing at the bus stop with me. She was middle aged and looked very friendly. She said something to me which I didn't hear so I asked her what she had said. She said "You look a bit stressed. Have you had a bad morning?". I said "Try a bad week but thanks, I'm fine.". She said that if I needed to talk she'd be happy to listen and I just broke down. I told her everything about myself in about 10 mins while I waited for my bus. She said that I was a strong person and that I had a lot going for me so I should never give up on myself. She told me that she was catholic and that she was on her way to chapel. She said she would light a candle for me and pray that my day gets better. She handed me a little pendent on a string and said it was Mother Mary. She would watch over me if ever my guardian couldn't. I told her a didn't know what she meant about a guardian. She said I had someone or something watching over me... she could feel it.

Weird huh?

Yes I believe in ghosts, and I have seen 1 and heard another. The first one I saw was when my grandmother had a stroke and was in the ER. I was in the room alone with her and she kept mumbling that she was ok and that she would be there soon. I couldnt understand who she was talking to until I looked in the direction she was staring. My uncle that had been passed for about 5 yrs was standing in the doorway as plain as day, he was leaning in the doorway wearing his jeans,flannel shirt, boots and holding his trademark Stetson. My grandmother just kept telling him that she would see him soon and that she was ok. She passed away the following week.
The second occurance has been in my home that we presently live in and our ghost is my mother. I have never seen her clearly but I have heard her in the house. Late at night you can hear little slippered feet shuffling down the hallway. I have gotten up and gone to see who was up and all the kids are asleep. I have been here alone and the toilet lid that was already down has slammed down. She has even spoken to our youngest son. I have seen a shadow pass by me when I am here on the computer and smelled her cologne. Her presence doesnt scare me. Its actually a comfort since I miss her soo much. Guess this is just her way of telling me that she is still here and watching over us.
