I am here to request information/advice on something that has been
irritating and scaring the bejeebers out of me ever since I moved to
Washington. I´ve been visiting this site for a few months now, and nearly
everyone here appears to be very intelligent with ideas on everything, so
this seemed the place to go.
As my parents are divorcing, and it is considered a domestic violence case,
I had to go to a court-ordered psychiatrist/therapist/whatever it´s called
a few months back. He thought what was bothering me was some form of post
tramatic stress or something to that effect.
(I apologize if this is annoying; I´m trying to give some information
before I get more confused and go into the actual thing.)
I also spoke to my best friend, the local expert on all things supernatural
and "weird." She thought perhaps I was haunted.
What´s been happening for the past four years off and on are what I suppose
are hallucinations. (By the way, I haven´t done drugs so it isn´t some side
effect of that.) I´ll hear voices either saying something I can´t
understand or calling my name. Sometimes they sound familiar, but never
someone that is actually around. At night, grotesque faces pop up out of
shadows and then fade away. Any pile of clothes on the floor or fold in a
blanket turns into a rotting body or a pet I once had. It creeps me out
just a tad. I end up either not able to sleep, or with every light in the
house turned on, which is pretty much the same as not sleeping since I can
only sleep in absolute darkness.
I was hoping someone could either tell me why it´s happening, or how I can
make it stop. Thank you.

It could possibly be a poltergeist. Poltergeists aren´t actual ghosts,
they´re little tricks your mind generates to express things it can´t
express in any socially acceptable way.

stress and an overactive imagination perhaps? I think so.
Poltergeist is a destructive energy force that effects it´s physical
surroundings. Usually they appear in cases of adolescent children and
teenagers under a lot of preassure...it´s been theorized that if they do
indeed exist, it´s more than likely an energy extension of the anxieties
and angers (hence: children and teens...VERY high hormone levels and
emotional levels..puts out a high "wattage" you see) that accumulates and
becomes a physical destructive entity of the child´s creation. Usually
with poltergeists, it is the PERSON that is "haunted" NOT the place...of
people that report poltergeist phenomena, it´s common that it follows
them.
The only reason I even CONSIDER that they exists is because there was
something like that at my best friend´s house when I was a teenager. Non
violent, more of just letting you know it was there.
Saw it knock some dishes off shelves and flick lights off and on and shut
and open doors. Nothing bad. Had a tendency to "play" with her stuffed
animal panda collection and such.
I don´t know what it was, but I watched it do it´s thing and really made me
think.
Honey, chalk it up to stress and emotional overload and overactive
imagination. Drink some sleepy tea, go to bed on time, and maybe make a
time for "time out" during the day when you can have some quiet time and
some peace.
You´ll be okay. you´re not "haunted" just overloaded, that´s all.

I have a few different thoughts on this. I highly believe in the paranormal
world but when approached with these sorts of cases, I have to first
explore everything with a bit of skepticism to rule out any other
possibilities
I had this problem before. I still do. Sometimes I do hear things that are
not there, though one time I can pinpoint one night of voices taunting me
to some drug use. *been clean of drugs for a year, hooray* You didn’t do
any of that so it’s nothing to worry about.
Also when all the lights are out I can see shadowy figures moving about my
room, black faces appearing and disappearing into my walls etc. When lights
are on or off I sometimes see sparkling dots dance before my eyes and every
once in a while, I see the walls, shelves, random things slowly move
towards me. I see grinning skulls and sometimes full bodies form in my
ruffled blankets.
You may have a chemical imbalance. If you want to satisfy that possibility,
have the shrink recommend you for a blood test, it’s quick, it’s painless
and simple. They take out a small amount of blood after you fast for one
morning. I’ve had this done numerous times when I was seeing a shrink till
I had enough of his “treatments.”
*by the way, they couldn’t detect a chemical imbalance in me*
If you don’t have a chemical imbalance then it may be a problem in your
nervous system, possibly within your brain. It’s nothing to worry about
though, a simple blood test will also detect if there is any problem with
your internal system. *blood, wbc count, sugar levels, blood pressure,
etc*
If they still detect nothing then maybe it could be stress but you know
that’s just a simple explanation for everything and I personally doubt
that. Also, ask yourself this. Do you have a history of migrans? What major
surgery, if any, have you had done? What other stressful events in the past
four years, or your life, could cause this?
I doubt that you have a medical problem because if you did, you would know
by now. These things have been happening for four years and by now, your
body would be in great discomfort. Still, it does not hurt to have a simple
blood test done just to satisfy the possibility of a chemical imbalance.
Now, if a blood test detects there’s nothing wrong with your system then
you can look more into the paranormal.
The following things below are covered by the previous posts.
If these events started to happen just during the time of your parents
divorce then it’s a possibility that from the high amounts of energy your
emotions are exhorting that you’ve unknowingly attacked a spirit or
spirits. They may be following your around, making you see these things or
relive memories before your eyes.
Poltergeists are energetic and malevolent spirits *sometimes demons* which
will cause more than just visions. They will make their presence know
through physical manipulation of your environment. Check to make sure
nothing is out of place, nothing is being moved. See a psychic, find out
about what forces are possibly following you.
Also, there is the possibility of your own psychic powers are being used
without your knowledge because of this difficult time.
Now, speaking from a spiritual point of view, I believe that there is a
spirit either toying with you because of your high energy output or it is
possible that the same spirit is trying to communicate with you.
How or why I don’t know. Again, see a psychic for those answers and take
the advice of the other people in this form. Also, RELAX. Don’t let these
things get to you if they are. You ARE stronger than your visions and
spirits which possibly follow you.
When i was younger (like around 10) i opened my eye late at night to see
this yellow pulsing cloud out side of my door...and out came this small
man-thing wearing a THOR hat (the kind that has the wings) carrying a sword
and would run into my room. I´d close my eyes and open them again and he
would fall out of the cloud again and start running in again. I did this
about 4 times and getting the same response. Then insted of closing my
eyes i just turned tword the wall and like 10 seconds after i felt a poke
in my back and i turned real fast and there he was 2 inches from my face.
I screamed so loud that it woke the neighbors up. Now i know it sounds
silly but that happened to me all growing up. Like i saw slimer from the
Ghostbusters all the time and do any of you remember "Mad Balls"? the ugly
moster looking balls that where foam and they bounced? Well once there was
like 4 of them floating over me and laughing for like an hour. But this
all happened when i was young. So that is why im in denial about
everything that doesnt make sence. What i dont know cant hurt me!!!

What you have described does not fit into an RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous
Psychokinesis) or "poltergeist" phenomenon because those events nearly
invariably involve the movement of objects (although Bettie very correctly
describes poltergeist events as being person rather than place centred).
Believe it or not, the kinds of manifestations you have described sound
like entirely normal psychological phenomenae.
"Voices" or sounds with an unexplained source are often background
monologue of our subconscious as it goes about its business. The Germans
have called the phenomenon an Ohrwurm ("earworm") and use it to describe
voices or songs that we can not get out of our heads. Seeing the
appearance of grotesque imagery, especially if it is only momentarily
substantial, indicates that your brain is going through a negrido stage (a
natural phase of development as described by C.G. Jung which occurs when
our processing of data has reached a negative or "decay" point). Although
it might be a very good idea for you to try to get a spot of counselling if
it is available (couldn´t hurt anything), there is probably no need for you
to panic over any of this. Unless you begin experiencing tactile
hallucinations or the images/sounds are experienced by someone else in your
vicinity, I shouldn´t be too alarmed. Please keep us posted and I hope
that everything works out well for you! I am, I was, I will be
your friendly neighbourhood,

HAHA...Funny you should ask! When i was 4 years old i bought one of those
rub on tattoos from that ice cream man...and like 30 min later i was
walking into walls and trippin out. My mom takes one look at me and looks
at my diolated pupils and takes me to the ER. She runs in there and yells
"My 4 year old son is on ACID!!!!" hahaha...the cop questioned her
thinking that it was hers and i took it!! lol...oh man...my sister never
lets that one alone. DONT JUDGE ME!!!!! ;-)

Thanks to all of you for your information/advice. I really appreciate it.
:-D
Lesse..
*more sleep
*less stress
*talk to a psychic
*check the blood
*try and lower energy output
*invest in padded walls
I´m letting it ALL ride on this chip...this little black one here, with the
preassure fracture down the middle. It´s the stress chip.
All or nothing.
Go to a doc. Take it from there. Remember...you´re never too old for a
daily time out.

My money´s on Rorshack´s Beautful View in the third...
There are worlds within worlds, within worlds...but to tell you the truth,
it´s a bullet train to nowhere...
as many things as I see on a regular basis..."Real" life seems to be the

I´d rather deal with something in a thor helmet than real life...
