The were standing next to my bed. I was very frightened and asked them who they were to which they replied don.t be afraid, we won't hurt you, go back to sleep. Quoting: Krix Strangest thing is it happened the night after as well, I still remember this vividly though I am a granny now.

Did these "strangers" appear dark like shadows or could you make out more solid textures/shapes/physical aspects of them? |

I even got my mother to figure up exactly how many days I had been alive and focused on remembering each day, then the day before and marking them off. I would feel totally mental sharing this but Bill Nelson [link to en.wikipedia.org] had a similar experience, so it may be somewhat common. |

Things that are totally unexplainable. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37799508 ----------------- They happen to our children, too Sometimes they tell us and sometimes not You are sooooo soooo right. These things we do seem to forget. As they have happened to us, they will happen to our children also. Yet we get so preoccupied in our daily lives, (mostly by no fault of our own) we tend to overlook things they do share and tell us. We need to "ALWAYS" listen to our children. |

If my parents switched out the landing light I could sometimes lay awake most of the night petrified and would be afraid to go across the landing to the toilet. I still am not convinced this experience was a dream as it has always remained so vivid in my memory and it happened the following night as well though never again. I have only ever told my eldest Daughter about this as always felt too stupid. Live and let live. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37811752 Australia 04/10/2013 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bill Nelson Trying to remember back to before I was born. Quoting: zenobiaphobia I even got my mother to figure up exactly how many days I had been alive and focused on remembering each day, then the day before and marking them off. I would feel totally mental sharing this but Bill Nelson [link to en.wikipedia.org] had a similar experience, so it may be somewhat common. Dr. Helen Wambach hypnotised a large number of volunteers (university students, mostly) in an auditorium. Afterwards, they were required to complete a questionnaire, noting which time frame they'd regressed to - what clothing they wore - what sort of eating utensils they'd used and the type of foods they'd eaten, etc. When the data was analysed, Wambach discovered those who, under hypnosis, had experienced/remembered past lives, had fallen into approx. 51% female and approx. 49% male, which is something which as remained unchanged throughout time Because people of past eras were often illiterate, many tended to estimate 'time' in terms of which king/ruler was on the throne, or dated their lives in accordance with which war was current, etc., Wambach was able to contrast the various eras with the clothing people said they'd worn and which utensils they'd used in their past life. And interestingly, they matched. For example, if a person stated in the questionnaire that they'd lived in the time of King-X, for example, their description of their clothing and eating utensils conformed with the era of King-X's rule (remembering that cutlery is a relatively modern thing. People of past eras used their hands and shared bowl, for instance, or used simply a knife, or a two, three or four pronged fork. Dating an era by the cutlery used is relatively accurate) For me, the most interesting and unsettling aspect of Dr. Wambach's experiments re: past lives is the claim of many volunteers who claimed they had been highly reluctant to enter their physical body when they were born into this, their current life. Some claimed they hadn't taken possession of their physical body until very shortly before birth. Others said they'd only entered their physical body at the time of birth, or shortly afterwards. Some claimed they had not entered their physical body until several weeks or even months after birth. And at least one said they hadn't entered their physical body until as late as two years after birth An obsession with tracing back one's occupancy of one's body might be explained by the fact a person's subconscious may be aware of 'missing time' as could be explained by those of Wambach's volunteers who claimed they hadn't taken possession of their body for considerable time after birth, perhaps. And of course, it raises questions as to just 'who/what' was substituted during the time the intended entity remained AWOL ? Did the parents notice their child's personality altered, we wonder, after the exchange between the substitute entity and the 'real' but tardy personality If the individual hadn't volunteered participation in Wambach's past-life regressions, would they ever have known they had spent months or years 'elsewhere' instead of googing and smiling at their adoring parents? And just as interestingly - where did the substitute go after it relinquished the body to the incoming entity? |

Then I fall like asleep, I woke up but can't remember anything nor a dream nor vision it was like if I was off for minutes, the last thing I can perfectly remember is this kind of ufo orb. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37811231 Spain 04/10/2013 04:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was rather neglected and unloved as a child . One night after having put myself to bed and having shed a few tears , I looked across the room and there was a huge shining cross on the wall. Did not hear anything , I checked the windows to see if it was coming from outside , it was dark and nothing to cause it . I lay in bed looking at it until I fell asleep . That was long ago , but I have never doubted His love and that there is an awareness of our individual lives , especially the tears of children . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37629054 that must have been a difficult childhood |

roosterCrow User ID: 743979 United States 04/10/2013 04:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 1974 I was 4 years old and went outside to swing on the swing set. I looked up and saw an orb just floating in the air. It looked like a giant pearl. It seemed like I just sat staring at it for a while then realized it was not natural. I got scared and ran in the house. I couldn't tell you what it was or if it was even a real memory, but I remember it just as described. I didn't have an experience like that again until I was in the Navy in the 90's. I was assigned Port Pilot House watch aboard the USS Frank Cable on a trip up the east coast to Halifax Nova Scotia. I was looking down at the Porpoises swimming along side the ship when I noticed a greenish glowing light moving diagonal from Starboard bow toward the port aft of the ship. If I had to guess, it was about 20 - 30 feet below the surface and looked to be about 20 feet in diameter. I knew we had subs running with us but couldn't think of what on a sub I would be seeing. I didn't report it because I didn't know what it could have been and didn't want to report something that would get me listed as nuts. I still don't know what it could have been. I've never been much into the UFO culture, but I can't pass off what I saw as natural phenomena. |

Shadowdog User ID: 35582792 United States 04/10/2013 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was 5 I started kidergarden. Our teacher was young and pretty. My mom really liked her. She seemed really kind until nap time. We all had a rug we had to lay on and take a nap. Thats when she turned into a monster. She would tell us to lay down and not open our eyes or she would get out her electric paddle. I would lay there and not dare open my eyes. Everday i would hear her grab kids and something making noise and the kid crying. I would lay there wanting to look so bad to see what was happening but i was to terrified. I hated nap time and feared it everyday. I finally told my mom about the electric paddle and the cries everyday and how scared i was. She just laughed and said miss Ash would not do anything like that. I told my mom seeral times about this but she jus always laughed it off. It has always haunted me as it went onthe whole year. It never happened to me but i feared everyday it would. To this day i do not know what the hell was going on. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34963435 United States 04/10/2013 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was probably about 3, was standing in my grandparents family room, the kitchen was right across from where I was standing, there was this glass white dog standing on the table and then it suddenly jumps down, runs over to me and starts biting my hands. I didn't feel any pain but it did scare me, probably why I was scared of dogs my entire childhood, and I still am. And while the "dog" was biting me, my grandmother was sitting in a chair on the other side of the family room reading a newspaper like she didnt even notice it was happening, idk if that whole experience was a dream, hallucination or what. |
