Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

An increase in paranormal activity parallels my mere reading about same.

I’ve never really spent a lot of time investigating details about paranormal activity. However, just several months ago (when I bought a new notebook PC) I started spending more time on the internet reading stories from other users.

I’m a Christian, and I know a lot of other Christians that would disapprove of my reading material. I am trying to learn from other people’s experience. I’ve never touched a Ouija board, never studied or used witchcraft, astral projection, so on and so on. My only reading material lately has been about other people’s stories.

My story now is sort of a warning. Since I started reading I have been visited by a ghost (I guess) that was fooling around with the lights in the basement. That got my attention because it was so deliberate, and clearly the act of an intelligent being… trying to scare me. You know, lights off, lights on… cliché.

The next thing that happened a few months later I had a sleep paralysis experience. I had a couple of these as a teen, but I’ve had this one recently and I am in my fifties now, and live alone. This one included two evil beings, unlike my other experiences.

Now, here is the kicker. I went out to the grocery after dark just last week. I returned home and was putting everything away, and headed to the bathroom with a couple of items. That is when I discovered the bathroom sink full of miscellaneous items that were originally on top of the medicine cabinet, a couple from inside the cabinet, and a few that were in an open shelf in the bottom of the medicine cabinet, and one that was previously sitting on the toilet tank. I always keep the bathroom sink empty.

It was very interesting to me, it was like they were picked up and neatly dropped into the sink… nothing on the floor (except my hair brush which usually sits right on the edge of the sink).

I believe that the subjects we think about are attracted to us simply because we are thinking about them. This may be considered a mild warning to anyone who is easily influenced or scared.
