El Tiburon User ID: 28375544 United States 04/10/2013 05:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember playing with a "new kid" in the late 70's... Quoting: El Tiburon We played "CHIPS" patrol on our bikes in a circular courtyard... This new kid was rammed by another and skinned his ankle between the pedal and a cement wall. The kid ran off to a corner, leaving his bike there. I chased after him (I was really worried he was hurt). When I caught up to the kid, I saw that the skin was missing from his ankle bone, and there was a hole in his foot. In that hole was wires and metal. It was as if someone had hit a vase, knocked a hole in it, and the vase was full of wires and metal rods. I even saw it "articulate" as he lifted his foot to cover it with his hand. I freaked and ran home to tell my mom. She of course did not believe me. But because she is a nurse, she walked outside with me to check on him. The court yard was empty, and the "new kid" was gone. I stayed in the rest of that day. The next day, I met my friends who had NO RECOLLECTION of the kid, nor any recollection of the event. Also, I never saw the "new kid" again. As an adult in my 40's I can look back on many things in my life and write them off as my being stupid, young, etc... This is one event that I never understood. And looking back, I realize that I was ostracized by my friends. I was no longer "in". It was as if they were programmed to dislike me. Oh well! Wow, my first thought would be some sort of prosthetic (advanced) but not sure if they had these types back then. Then you go on with what happened afterwards. Just wow! Just curious if there were any types of "military" bases near where you lived at the time. I lived in Memphis, which is near Millington Naval Base. Which at the time was the largest inland naval base in the world. I had an uncle stationed there (I AM NOT KIDDING) And prosthetic's did come to mind, but we're talking back in the wood leg days. If you've ever saw the movie "WESTWOOD"... when the android takes off his face.... THAT'S what I saw inside this kids ankle. |

I will answer "serious questions" regarding these experiences. Looking for others to describe similar experiences or other things that happened to them as a child that they remember yet still to this day cannot explain. I had quite the opposite experience as a child... More of a feeling of fast forwarding. Not to contradict you.... And OMG did Cobra get his ASS KICKED on a daily basis in my bedroom. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34963435 United States 04/10/2013 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember climbing up to a slit window in my fathers Dream/bunker/family house. The slit was about 6 feet high so I used my little ladder (from my cubby hole dad put up in the upper corner of the room) and climbed all the way up and looked out while my parents were putting my brother and I to bed. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26023511 I don't know why I did this; guess I was a little spaz of a kid...and looking back at me were two glowing red orbs... separated far enough apart to appear to me as eyes. A lot of strange shit happened out there (ufo/paranormal) as a kid but that's one I can't quite figure out. You were climbing the ladder to the window and watching your parents put YOU and your brother to bed at the same time? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37814738 Australia 04/10/2013 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | About 6 or 8. Language slippages. I'd hear people speaking as if English was an unknown tounge to me. Quoting: T-Cain Briefly, I couldn't understand anything they were saying. My kids seem to suffer from this quite frequently (just kidding, I couldn't resist) Seriously though, this is interesting as I have heard about it before. First thing that came to mind was regarding the past life experiment in a few posts above. It would make sense in that context. Hmmm. Don't know if I believe in that whole past life thing. Maybe it was faulty wiring in my brain where the language center is. It was very strange. It has never happened after those ages. I don't know what I believe as far as past-lives are concerned First time someone raised the subject with me as if it were fact, I overreacted and was angry, despite the other person was a close colleague and despite I was generally open-minded at least to the suggestion of most things Afterwards I was embarrassed about my outburst. But remained angry Angry not with my colleague but with the possibility we could be assaulted by another life. Because that's how I regarded it - assault 'How dare they'! Don't know why I suspected a 'they' and not an 'it' as responsible for putting people through successive lives - if in fact they do, of course For years I scorned those clustered around the reincarnation shelves in book stores. Deluded fantasists, I thought It was an unusual experience which compelled me to at least consider the possibility of reincarnation and led to my reluctantly decided I needed to at least take another look at it. Some books were scholarly, some trash. Some persuasive, others ridiculous I'm still on the fence. I still strongly dislike that it's remotely possible we could be compelled to endure more than one life. And I state, very determinedly and usually angrily, ' I will not come back here. I will not. Do not ever send me here again or I'll kill before birth any future self you try to force me to be. I will not live again on this hell on earth' The awful thing, to my mind at least, is that as you get older and mellow and reflect on life, the thought of coming back to 'do it differently and better next time' begins to insinuate itself into your mind. It's happened to my great surprise. I kick it out immediately, but I can see how seductive it might be to some. And it scares me to think I might fall for it at some point The worst aspect, for me, is the suggestion we may have no control over it and might be forced back. I'm far from impressed by this earthly environment. Any of us could create a world more kind, more just than what we're living through here. Which causes me to distrust the motives of anything that would compel us to live here once, let alone repeatedly Reincarnation may be gobblydegook of course I remain on the fence |

PENG User ID: 37815055 United States 04/10/2013 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Several years ago when my four year old was getting wheeled back to surgery, she was kinda drugged up... But something behind my shoulder caught her eye. Her eyes brightened and she weakly lifted her arm and pointed, saying, "look mommy, you have wings behind you." She was totally drugged up for surgery, but it freaked me out. I turned around and it was a blank wall behind me. I had been praying like no torrid that she would be ok. So I was thinking, oh wow, she'll be ok. THEN the OCD hit and I start thinking OMG they are coming to take her. I have had several things like that happen. Very weird stuff.

Later while away in another state spending the summer on a farm, I was handed some halloween spooky bubblegum cards, after which I started having disturbing nightmares. When I told the people I was staying with, they said the cards were evil and they took and destroyed them, and everything went back to normal. This was when I had no real concept of good or evil. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31791127 United States 04/10/2013 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a child, I was tormented by a very emotionally and sometimes physically abusive father. I spent alot of time alone in my room, crying, or playing, alone. My mom was and still is great but she worked a lot to support us and I barely remember seeing her then. I believe I was around 5 when I first remember "them." They would come at night to play with me and talk to me. My room was pitch black and I was afraid of the dark. I had a very large window and no curtains, so the moon would shine in. We also lived in the country, and moon light was the only light around. My friends were little, green, sparkly, people. I could hold them in my hand. In the 80s, we had these little animal figures that came with little houses and trees and such (calico critters?). I had a little house in my window and I remember playing with the sparkly people alot in those houses. I also remember they floated. There were males and females and they would talk to me. I wish I could remember a conversation. I think they let me know how loved I was. and another one: My first experience with something alien was at the age of 13. My mom had picked me up from a jr high dance party and we were driving on the road we lived on. It was late and dark. My road did not have any street lights. My parents live in a rural setting. About a mile away from home a giant orb appeared. It floated in front of our car and about as high as the telephone poles, just below the trees. It was color changing. I remember seeing all the colors of the rainbow, but mainly a yellow orange center. My mom continued to drive and we stared at it in shock and silence. We pulled into the driveway and under some trees where my mom parked the car, after that we lost it. We sat in the car and looked around everywhere for it before exiting. It was exciting and freaky at the same time, but I don't remember us being scared. My mom has always been my best friend. We have a very, very, unique bond.I feel like it whatever it was, was checking on us. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 16795415 United States 04/10/2013 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is tons of stuff for me. one that sticks out or might be interesting to others.. I was about 7 and there was this brother and sister that lived near me. Their Mom died when they were both really small, I think perhaps during child birth for the girl. Their Dad was always drunk and smoked alot, I remember I went in their kitchen once and the walls and cieling were totally yellow/brown from the nicotine. He never cleaned up outside and never mowed the lawn or anything. In England the gardens have short brick walls with wooden fence ontop or hedges growing next to the wall. SO their backyard was fenced in by these hedges and there was a gate, a path and a square of tall green gress. One day I went to their house and the grass had been flattened in a large circle, what I later learned was a crop circle, but back then thought was fairy magic ;) We played, laid, rolled and screwed around in that circle most of the day and I remember just being really happy. It was a perfect circle and too large to have been from something being placed there, the grass was still fresh and green. The next day it had turned back into grass. I hadn't spoken to these people since I was 11, but just a few years back got to ask them about it and they said they remembered it, I don't know if they were just egging me on or what, but I remember it quite vividly. |
nah User ID: 37806571 United States 04/10/2013 08:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The most eery thing about my experience is that all my family members had the same experience except I had a name for him, "The Kahiki Man". It's one of my earliest child hood memories, being in my grandparents basement, the second toilet was down there and I had to use it once, alone. Some tribal looking man came out from nowhere and I flew up the stairs screaming The Kahiki Man! I never mentioned it again until one day all of my family was gathered and I asked them, "did anything ever scared you in the basement at grandma's house?" They all said the same thing, some tribal Indian chief looking guy used to chase them out of the basement too, even my grandmother was afraid to go down there alone and she used to ask us kids to watch her when she went down to get something, or just made us go down there with her. When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |

I was watching TV eating junk etc when I hear five loud bangs. I run upstairs and some how I know the bangs are coming from my parents room the closet is open so I shut it. I turn around and their is a little girl in pigtails sitting on my parents bed. She says "I live in the wall" and I say "what in the hell are you doing in here?" I thought she was a legitimate human until she faded right in front of me. I couldn't even scream I hauled ass down the steps out the door. I went to my neighbors house and called my parents who didn't believe me. She still haunts my dreams and I am now 27....only now she looks like a rotting corpse. In one of the dreams she was sitting in the tailgate of my truck I just don't know what the connection is. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1816481 |

I do remember my mind being completely ablank in a state that I dont ever recall having since, maybe a trance like state.

I try to focus on this as I fall asleep, to attempt to keep my mind awake/body asleep to induce sleep paralysis and astral projection. As a young child I could do this whenever I wanted. That sinking feeling as you are just drifting off, actually knowing the moment when you actually fell asleep. I have lost this gift but would love to regain ability. I am still able to fly in my dreams, like swimming through the air, and control most of the dreams. Astral projection ftw. Alot of odd unexplained things have happened to me over the years. I believe everything will come together for an explaination at some point. I remember as a child telling my mum I really could fly, being 100% convinced I could, and that I could make myself flat enough to get underneath a closed door. Odd stuff. |
Raisty User ID: 1005919 United States 04/11/2013 08:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know there has been some talk about past lives in this thread and while I've only had glimpses of past lives I do vividly remember my first experience when I was put into this life. I was laying flat on my back in my crib. I remember seeing a golden light above me and someone in the light talking to me. I couldn't understand the language though. I knew I should understand it and I did understand it until JUST that moment. If it wasn't for that conflict I don't think I would of remembered it since over all it was a peaceful experience. I still think I stepped in for someone at the last moment. I used to see balls of energy as a child. I did until I learned that seeing things was considered umm "defective" so I worked at making sure I didn't see them. I had a dog die when I was very young and he would be on the bed with me every night after that. I could feel the panting of the not there dog. This kept up until one day I saw his ghost run right in front of me and through a fence in my backyard. He left after that... I think he did his job and was saying goodbye. Also, I don't remember this at all but my father told less than a year ago. When I was very young a store by our house would give out lollipops if you picked a piece of paper with a number on it out of a jar. Apparently I could do this every time without fail by "feeling the paper for the one with a number". That was the explanation I gave to my father at the time. Just an odd thing I still do not remember. |

ISee User ID: 37779766 Australia 04/11/2013 02:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of my earliest memories is going out the backyard and seeing Caterpillars on the trees, my Mother pointing them out to me and me going closer to them, but they had tiny human-like faces, went "AAAH" when they saw me like something out of a cartoon, and jumped off the branches and scurried off on the ground in terror. My Mother testifies to this day she did see them jump off the branches so that is weird and funny at the same time. Likely just childhood imagination made me think they had human faces and went "AAAAH". Still exists as a memory though. Something very real that has caused me sleep problems for all my life I can remember was a doll of an African Girl that would only appear after I was put to bed up on my toy rack, it was not there when adults were around, only when I was alone. It would come down off the toy rack with glowing red eyes and would cackle so evilly while pushing, prodding and tormenting me with her glowing red eyes. My Dad all his life has seen a Joker tormenting him at the end of his bed and he asked if I ever had any little person tormenting me and I told him about it, and he told me that every male of his maternal lineage has had the same thing since way back in Ireland when a Witch put a curse on one of them, tormenting him and every male of the lineage since. Being in bed in a strange house with my Dad and being very scared for some reason then looking over and seeing a Giant Teddy Bear I had or the house had crying, I remember the tears rolling down it's face. I wasn't too young either and I remember it clear as day and I wasn't dreaming because my Dad was in and out of the room and confirmed to me the next day that I was staring at the Teddy Bear oddly. In same house, visited by what I can only describe as a Faerie. I remember then feeling as if I was flying, looking down on my own body, then I was carried off into a land and place that I can only describe was like out of a Fantasy movie, the thing is I was raised by strict Jehovah's Witnesses and never saw any fantasy movies or read Fairytales so nothing could have influenced the imagery for say, a dream... There is so much more, more than I can type here. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37872921 United Kingdom 04/11/2013 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Love this This is my experience as a child although I don't remember it. My mum and dad lived in a creepy house when they were first posted to Cyprus (my dad was in the RAF). One night my mum put me to bed in my cot me being a little baby was fast asleep. Half an hour later when she went to bed she found me fast asleep on the landing . She still dosen't know how I got there to this day. The other thing that happened in that house was when she walked into the kitchen one day the eggs on the counter flew of and smashed onto the floor. Needless to say she was glad when she was moved to another area. My last story is when I was about 4 I can remember jumping down the stairs from nearly the top. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I Was at the bottom somehow unhurt all I can remember is a floating feeling all the way down. Maybe someone was looking after me that day. |

As we watched white orbs would come and go...in and out...it hung there forever it seemed. I was afraid to leave the glass door to call anyone..afraid it would be gone if I stopped watching...Finally we got tired of watching and went to bed. My son remembers this vividly...he asked me if I remembered it a few months ago. I find it strange that we just went to bed without any worries. Also I had a vivid dream a few months after, that my ex was leaving the state with my kids...I was so shaken I immediately got up and drove 70 miles to his mothers house and there was a truck with a trailer fully loaded with all his belongings....he was moving to Co. with my kids...he was going to kidnap my kids, hoping I would never find them...If I hadn't followed my dream of him leaving---who knows what would have happened.

KukiDaiMarakai User ID: 37880484 United Kingdom 04/11/2013 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was a child I used to see what I guess were ghosts, or spirits, or something, every time We went to stay at our Aunts house, which was in a very old uk cottage. Myself, brother and mother would all sleep in the spare room on fold-out-beds, and each and every time, without fail, I would be awake after the other two had fallen asleep. Or maybe I was awakened by My little friends. The easiest way to describe what I saw was that it looked like a carousel, insofar as it rotated, and it looked like it was cut out of jet-black felt. They were in the shapes of little cherub-esque cute figures, with trumpets to boot! They just kind of flirted with Me, span round and round, upwards, downwards, right up close to Me, almost interacting as I marvelled at their wonders..And each and every time, I would try, and fail, to wake up Mum to tell her.It was magical, and enahcnting, and I will never forget! |
