My house is being plagued by at least 2 spirits, to be documented

The cat plops down wherever she wants, usually on the couch or in Maude's bed. Duder and Panda share a room and sleep with the door shut. I sleep alone with the door shut.

How's this - I'll give $1000 to a charity of your choice if you can provide good photographic or video evidence that this is anything even slightly anomalistic - it would be the discovery of the decade.

...or you could visit my address and see for yourself...I mean seeing is believing.

RIGHT! I'll start recording those kinds of experiments soon as!

You people forget that I'm approaching this from a scientific standpoint, trying to eliminate possibilities.

Answer me this, how do you explain the beings jumping onto the bed and physically making contact with several of us independently? Your rationalization has a limit, and if you want to pretend to rationalize that then you're, what some call, BS'ing.

When does this happen, during sleep or as you go to sleep? It could be hypnagogic hallucinations. Happens quiet often with people thinking they're seeing, hearing or feeling things. Reports of seeing an old hag, or something similar are most common. Dreams are also powerful. You can dream you're being touched at the point of waking and it will feel like you have been touched.
 
I have dreams that are too real all the time. Usually they involve being part of Doom, Halo, Quake...yeah I play too many games...

But this happens when just laying in bed, not asleep. I'll feel it, leap up and switch the light on to check the entire room. I can be wide awake (restless legs) sitting in bed and in the dark you just feel a "plop" like a chihuahua has leaped on your bed. No dog-claws clacking on the floor either XD

Needless to say...I leave a lamp on and it hasn't happened since I started doing so 2 days ago.
 
Thinking one is fully awake but in fact being on the verge of sleep is precisely the character of an hypnagogic hallucination. The brain's dreaming mechanism kicks in a little early or persists a little late.

The other morning after getting to bed unexpectedly late and not really getting enough sleep my alarm started going off, and I would have sworn I was awake, but I also distinctly remembered checking the time repeatedly on a second clock I in fact moved to another room months ago. Once I was really awake it took a moment to realize and convince myself that I must have only been half awake and dreaming I was fully awake and looking at that clock.

Had it been something that wasn't, in retrospect, patently impossible, and absent an awareness of hypnagogic hallucination, I might have sworn something very weird and hard to explain happened.
 
Wow, the cat sure has some courtesy to quietly open AND CLOSE the door.

I'm sorry, but the cat is not opening the door, it would let in too much light anyway.

Listen, Gary is paid to PROTECT my belongings in MY room. That's the problem the other little thing is seen in other parts of the...oh...I see...one moment, I've got to recharge my cattle prod.
 
It sounds like one of those god damned cat ghosts.

I don't believe in ghosts, that would be childish, but I do believe in cat ghosts. Cat's are not to be trusted as it is, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have worked out a way to cheat death. Dodgy blighters.
 
If this wasn't so recent, I'd assume it was a viral campaign for Paranormal Activity. As a side note, that movie was terrible. Within the first 30 minutes I was already cheering for the demon thingy to kill them and get it over with. Most annoying and useless characters in a movie ever.

Anyway, keep the cameras rolling. Sounds like fun. Well, fun for us. I guess not for you.
 
Demons do not need to "cheat death".

Besides, it's not a cat ghost, I assure you, that would be crazy.

It's more likely a ghost cat.
 
A ghost cat would describe a cat that is a ghost, while a cat ghost would describe a ghost that is a cat.

The first is a little more frightening though more rare.

WTF

Edit: I seriously hope you are trolling, if not, please step away from the computer and seek help immediately. How the hell do you know which one is more rare, a cat is a ghost and a ghost is a cat? Seriously, listen to yourself.

Boy, this thread was a letdown.

Anyway, although I don't believe in this type of stuff, two family members have had some odd experiences.

One was my dad when he was younger. He was sitting in the living room across from a friend. some black floating cloud raced down the stairs nearby, swooped right between the two of them and out the window. The dog went ape-sh*t barking at it. Who the hell knows what that was about.

My aunt has all kind of weird **** that she grew up with... still lives with "ghosts" to this day that interact with her, apparently. Who knows. I won't get into it.

I'd like to think that if I ever saw a ghost, I'd be totally fascinated and cool, but I know I'd be scared out of my mind, run away screaming, and never go back. Until that happens, though, I'm comfortable believing that there are no ghosts/spirits. :)

I hope you get things sorted, OP, one way or another.
 
It's fun to have such a novel friend around moving things and flicking lights, but once they interact with you...oh *#%$
 
what fun!

You don't seem to genuinely concerned, as it seems that the most you are doing to combat the "situation" is whimsically debating the merits of "spirits" existing, and the inane differences between cat ghosts and ghost cats.

Either

1) You could be some sort of schizophrenic and your worries have rubbed off on your roomates in some sort of light mass hysteria bout

or

2) You delight in the attention, criticism, feedback that a thread like this affords you.

So, lets see some proof of ANY of this. Video, audio, photo.

Prove me wrong?
 
It should be less difficult to add people to the Ignore list, jeeze it takes 2 pages.
 
proof that I need

All the proof that I need. You are just craving the attention.

You just took the time to announce you have "ignored" another poster who refutes your claims.

What makes you people so angry about my posts? You have a right to WALK AWAY (press the back button) yet, instead, you decide to pick fights and belittle people.

The next time you read a thread that just infuriates you people and makes you slam your forehead on your keyboard, remember, nobody is forcing you to like it.

Or maybe you like subjecting yourself to pain =\

Either way, the unsubscribe button is at the top in Thread Tools and pressing Backspace will take you back to the Forum Spy, if you're so bent on not wasting your time it's really THAT easy, if you can believe it.
 
Another mod note: Please don't post any more posts that only consist of images, guys. It just causes clean-up work for us. Post if you have content to add. :)

I don't think anyone is angry. I'm just curious why you are not seeking help. This is like a bad traffic accident, I don't want to look, but I can't help it. :D
