[OT] What Scares You?
Originally posted by: orbitalfreak (that's me!)
I did have a bad experience with another member of the spirit world, though. ... I apologize, but I can't bring myself to go too deep into detail, but suffice to say that I was "attacked" (I guess you could call it that) by a ghostly being, who passed a part of itself through ... my heart, and caused me to experience the most bone-chilling cold I have ever felt. To this day, I feel its presence inside of me, a lancing pain in the part of my heart that it touched. [That ghost] is the only thing that I have ever been truly afraid of.
*We've also had a ghost haunt our house before, but it "move out" several years ago. We would see it glide up and down the halls, but it never bothered anyone or anything.
*Chalk up another one for precognitive abilities. I, like a few others have mentioned here, have intense bouts of Deja Vu every now and then. I'll be going about my activities as usual, and suddenly I'll feel like I've been doing (whatever it is) before. After a few seconds of what feels like living the moment for a second time, I'll get accustomed to the feeling; at these times, not only do I feel like I've done "it" before, but I know what's going to happen in the immediate future.
As such, I've been able to predict the course of a conversation, and know
exactly the words that would be spoken in the next five or so seconds. I've sat in my chair at dinner and mouthed conversations between my parents with unerring accuracy at times. On a few occasions, I've responded to a question before it was asked, when the asker gave no preamble to the question. Or, I've switched the topic of conversation to another subject when I knew someone else was just about to do the same thing (interrupting them before they began to speak, as it were). I've also had more than my fair share of "catching the glass before it falls" moments.
*My mother and I share a brain wave-length, it seems. I know that when you are close to your parents, friends, lovers, whatever, that you get used to them and do things like complete each others sentences and such. With my mother, though, we will usually have a "brain-wave sharing" incident about three to five times a day, sometimes on obscure subjects. I guess this could be rolled into the Deja Vu thing above.

Prophetic Dreams
You know the old saying, "Dreams can come true"? Unfortunately, that saying is sometimes right in my case. I've had dozens of incidents where I've dreamt about an event before it happened, though these events are usually not of any importance. I remember this ability starting when I was 14 years old, in 9th grade (1997). I had a dream in which I met for the first time two young, beautiful girls. The dream stayed with me when I woke, and the feeling of "Meeting" was prominent; the identities of the girls were immaterial to the dream. That morning, we had a new student in school (a rare event, in our rural area), who was female and quite attractive.
I dreamt once of a ring of shining white gold, set with a 1/4 carat diamond, with smaller diamons channel-set in the band. That was the entire dream, the ring set against a black background. The next day, my best friend announced that her boyfriend had proposed to her. The engagement ring was the exact same one that was in my dream.
On the subject of rings, I also dreamt about someone losing a ring, and the next day my mother found out that the diamond from her wedding band had fallen out. Other incidents have included getting mail that I wasn't expecting on any particular day (like my loan check that I recieved today; dreamt about it last night); I predicted through dream that my aunt would be involved in a vehicle accident; fires, floods, and hurricanes have happened after a dream that related to them; I've even dreamt of a few people passing away, before I heard of their death.
*On the subject of predictions:
My stepfather has predicted the gender of all seven of his neices and nephews, one of which he predicted while overseas and before the mother knew she was pregnant. He also predicted the gender of his child before she was born. Years ago, he had dreamt that he would marry someone named Angela, who had slightly-crooked teeth. My mom's name is Angela, and yes, her teeth are a little out of alignment.
I have a few tales of UFOs as well, but I'll save them for another day; I've rambled long enough.
