I have never experienced a sighting but every time I get up to pee I have to put the light on and not look out the corners of my eyes, for some reason I expect something to be there watching me. I don’t get that feeling in the day. I wonder if it has something to do with it being dark and the house/street being silent at that time of night.

I will absolutely not go to the toilet in the middle of the night 
After hearing 3 footsteps right outside our bedroom door that first night we moved back here there’s no chance I’m going out down the hallway and to the bathroom in the dark! Even if I wake up needing the toilet I force myself to go back to sleep 
After hearing 3 footsteps right outside our bedroom door that first night we moved back here there’s no chance I’m going out down the hallway and to the bathroom in the dark! Even if I wake up needing the toilet I force myself to go back to sleep I was reading the thread before this last night and I genuinely was on high alert going the loo in the nightI will absolutely not go to the toilet in the middle of the night
This reminds me of the time Mr Thar and I had to stay in rented accommodation as our flat had been subject to 8 hours of mains water being pumped into it, as the bloke upstairs hadn’t plumbed in the washing machine correctly! We ended up staying in a 2 bedroom converted barn in the grounds of what was an old vicarage (and it was right next door to where a newly famous spice girls parents lived - but that’s another story for another thread lol)I will absolutely not go to the toilet in the middle of the night
Anyway it was very cold and draughty place and I hated being there alone. At certain times of the day the coin meter, which we had to use for the electricity, would go mental for no reason and we had to keep putting loads of 50ps in one after another. We queried it with the landlord and he said we must have been using something to drain it that quickly! But there was never anything we could think of, we would be sitting there with the coal fire on, watching TV and we used to hear the meter whirring round really quickly and had to quickly scramble to feed it money before we were in darkness.
Anyway, the worst thing was that our bedroom upstairs was along a very long corridor at one end of the barn and the bathroom was down the corridor at the other end. I hated walking along it during daylight but a night it was even worse, especially if I needed a wee in the small hours of the morning. I had to walk past the door of the other bedroom and the feelings of malevolence that seeped through the door into the corridor as I passed made me so scared (even typing this my stomach is turning in fear). I used to close my eyes keep one hand on the wall (praying that no-none would reach out and grab it) and run as fast as I could past the door until I got to the bathroom, were I would feel a little safer, and then try and steel myself for the trip back to the bedroom. Luckily we only stayed there for 6 weeks and I couldn’t wait to leave (even if it was to move in with the in-laws).
When I was a child I would go and sleep in my parents room in the middle of the night. Clear as day there would be the shadow outline of a man standing sideways in my parents bedroom doorway (on the wall). I never felt scared or thought anything of it until years later I mentioned it to my mum who said you saw it too.
There was also a really bad fish smell in my sisters room that we could not locate , it would come and go.
Anyway it turned out my mum had to get someone in to get rid of it. She’s very religious so got someone from her church, apparently it walked out of the house and into the road and disappeared into the ground. When it went so did the smell.
People don’t believe me but

Many times! Sleep paralysis is something I’ve had for years. There’s always a sinister dark figure that comes towards me when I have it. Terrifying!
Sometimes it’s not just places that give you bad feelings it’s people too. My boyfriends mums partner gives me those feelings of just being really unsettled and uncomfortable. To the point if I’m left in a room with him I have to get up and leave I can’t be around him. He’s got these really creepy eyes and I have sometimes caught him staring at me or staring at my boyfriend.
there’s been a couple of incidents recently which I won’t go into that involve him and it’s made me realise why I feel so uneasy in his presence.
It got so suffocating once that when we left the house to go shopping the relief I felt walking through the front door to the car was intense. I have asked my boyfriend if we can stay in a hotel when we visit rather than stay at his mums house and he’s agreed. Finally.

An old school friend told me that her daughter said to her one day that Grandad was here, she pointed to the chair and commented on what he'd said to her, making her laugh. My friend told her not to be daft, it wasn't his day to call but she said, don't you be daft, he's there and again pointed at the chair. She found out later that day that her Dad had passed away at home some time that morning. Her daughter is now grown and has no recollection of this. But my friend said her daughter was adamant at the time he was there and she had no reason to make it up.
I have sleep paralysis quite often when I’m really tired, and it always happens if I’m falling asleep laid on my back (I usually sleep on my sides).
I think the worst one I’ve had is when I was staying in a hotel for work alone, the sleep paralysis started and I could hear small kids laughing somewhere next to me in the room, but I obviously couldn’t turn my head to have a look. Managed to pull myself out of it after what felt like forever and then slept with the lamp on for the rest of the night!
I’ve met people that have made my blood run cold. I can’t really describe it but they had such a horrible feeling about them.
I used to see a man in the local bus station that had a bad vibe about him too. It’s strange but can’t pin point it.
My ex had an odd feeling about him too but I was very young when he pursued me. I was barely 16 and he was 26. He had cold blue eyes and years later he admitted to having the urge to strangle me when we were just sat on the sofa.
Me too! Always when I’m on my back first falling asleep! Never heard children before that’s spooky!! My worst one was when the figure pulled back the covers and started getting into my bed. Woke up just as he got in!!
That sounds awful! I’ve never really had the feeling of anything/anyone on top of me or in bed with me. More that I can hear things around me and I just feel pinned down.
It’s happened that often that I can now feel the point where I’m getting pulled into the sleep paralysis and usually can bring myself round before I go into it fully. Or if it does happen I’ve figured out I just need to make my mind go blank as if trying to sleep and lie completely still. Which completely goes against what I want to do, which is throw myself around and scream That usually makes me wake up fully. It’s so odd, it’s such an awful feeling.
Not strictly a ghost story - but I’ll write about it on this thread anyway because no one ever believes me it’s so strange, but when I was around 17 I had the weirdest thing happen in my sleep. My boyfriend was staying over one night, off we went to sleep and I remember waking up to an awful pulling feeling in my body, as if someone was pulling me upwards from my neck and shoulders really hard. Next thing I know, I’m standing next to the bed and looking down at me and my boyfriend asleep in the bed!
I looked around the bedroom and I can clearly remember looking at everything, my little pink stool and the dressing table next to me, then looking back at myself in the bed and thinking what the hell is going on?! Next thing I know I woke up in the bed. Everyone told me I was dreaming and I probably was, but if so it was the most realistic dream I’ve ever had! It really did not feel like a dream and freaked me out for a while…

My dad had a similar thing happen to him when he was a teenager he said he remembers being on his ceiling in the corner of his room looking down at himself asleep in bed and he said he didn’t know what was going on. He said he was ill at the time with glandular fever and when he told my Nan (his mum) about it she said he died in his sleep but came back to life..? StrangeThat sounds awful!

Similar happened to my ex husband, he said he was floating above the bed, could see me & him asleep in bed & he was trying so hard to try & shout to wake me up & get back down, he was ill at the time with undiagnosed diabetes. Said he got back down with a thud. Never happened since then though.That sounds awful! I’ve never really had the feeling of anything/anyone on top of me or in bed with me.

I know what you mean about the feeling of being pulled into the paralysis. I too can now bring myself out of it before it properly starts. The key is not to panic and stay calm and tell yourself it’s not real. I find that works for meThat sounds awful! I’ve never really had the feeling of anything/anyone on top of me or in bed with me.

I thinkthey call that astral projection where you leave your body. Reminds me of that programme a few years ago. Can’t remember what it was called now!! That’s gonna bug me!
Edited to say - googled it!
it was called behind her eyes! Well good!

Agree with this, when my grandad was in intensive care, the part of the hospital he was in (if anyone here is Irish they may know the mater hospital in dublin) he was having a rest & I says I’m gonna just have a walk & I was walking to the chapel the chapel went down very very old winding stone steps. I got about halfway down & felt like something was saying NO. You’re not coming any further. I stopped & everything went freezing around me looked to my left & there was a statue of the Virgin Mary & I just thought no.. something clearly doesn’t want me going here so I walked back to the ward & never went ANYWHERE again in that hospital
Maybe the lady wanted to communicate with her x
I got a book from the library about astral projection. Tried to make it happen but never did. The book claimed you could make it happen, it was safe and claimed you could travel once used to it. I was young and stupid at the time.
I got a similar book from the library back in the 90s. The guy who wrote in told stories of testing it by “visiting” friends in different states and describing afterwards what they were doing when he saw them while astral traveling. There was also a story about a shoe being on a ledge outside a hospital that a patient had seen while astral traveling while under anaesthesia.
I really enjoyed the book as a young ‘un. I might read it with a pinch of salt now.
I used to borrow all sorts of “spooky” books and read them in my bed at night, living alone, guaranteeing me an hour of being too scared to fall asleep
Have you seen the insidious movies? I would not want to do astral projection after watching those
Would like to read it about it though as sound interesting
