Various experiences to share

[Mobious]

Well I thought I might as well get the ball rolling so you can get an idea of the sort of things that seem to go on!
Well first of all the usual non disclaimer. I am not a medium although I am very interested in finding out more, but I would count myself as sensitive.

I had the odd experience as a child, but for me it really kicked off when I left home and went to uni. Every single house I have been in since then has had something happen, so the question is, is it actually me or have I lived in a number of haunted houses!

I think most people will find the previous house I was in the most interesting as it had a fair few things happen in and thats where I took some photos.
It was a standard three bedroom mid terrace house in Birmingham. I was renting with my gf (now wife) and an old mate from school. (My wife has had some experience but my housemate was a complete skeptic)
The first thing we noticed was the front room was always cold and I mean always. It would be 30C outside and the room would still be cold enough to make you want to wear a jumper. It started with the TV coming on by itself a couple of times, the light bulbs going every couple of days, so we had the landlord bring in an electrician who did a complete check and the house was fine. We even had a new fusebox in just to be completely sure.
The first real thing we saw was an hours before the earthquake in Dudley, my wife and I were in the bedroom, I was by my computer and the wife was reading, when we both saw a fist sized orb appear in the middle of the room and then go through the wall. (Now apparantly before an earthquake there is often a upsurge in pyschic energy) so I associated it with that, after checking my wife had seen it too. A couple of times I had been convinced I had had someone standing next to me by the bed, but I couldn't see anything.
We had a rescue puppy for around three months, but unfortunately he had to be put down because of an incurable heart defect and we were of course devestated, but on a number of occasions I saw him walking around the house. It was the outline of the dog, but it was slightly silver in colour. I wasn't sure whether that was a replay event or was genuine interaction, but often we would be on the bed and then we would hear padding and then there would be a small imprint on the bed where he use to sleep. To start off it was quite upsetting, but we kind of liked it because we felt that although he had a short life, we offered him a happy home.

As various things kept on happening around the house, I decided to start to take pictures and much to my surprise I found that if I asked in the room, I would get a lot of light anomolies appear and I invited a couple of friends to come around and take some pictures as the same time as me to try and quantify what I was seeing, so we would all take pictures of the same area with some interesting effects.

I am genuinely interested in learning a lot more, so I guess that is just a quick brief selection of small events.

I will post more as and when!

Thankyou very much for sharing this with us, it's fascinating. It sounds like you are especially sensitive to spirits. When you have abilities to sense spirits, sometimes it can attract them.

i can recall quite a few experiences with spirit contacts...

the first time i can remember one, was seeing three figures lurking in a cupboard in a family friend's house, they were dressed in victorian clothing, quite old looking with grey hair... and looking at me slightly annoyed, as i was only a young child, and obviously shouldn't have been staring at them...
it was only later, remembering this, that i saw victorian clothing for the first time and thought it was a lot like what they were wearing...

back in about '86, i was cycling home late one night, and as i used to live in a very quiet town - wasn't expecting to see anyone on the way. i got onto a main road with no traffic insight or in earshot, and witnessed a cloud of smoke coming in the opposite direction, up the middle of the road... it passed by me(i had stopped by then), and i wished it a good evening... it carried along, under a bridge i had just come through and round the corner following the line of the road...

my partner used to live in a haunted house.
the first time i stayed - i saw one thing after another... there was a cloud of light that moved around on the staircase(which you could see when it got to the evening), by the door of her room lurked an unhappy prescence, who in the middle of the night twanged and broke the D string on her guitar(which i had just tuned before going to bed).
i saw the light figure of a little girl, floating up the staircase to the attic rooms... it stopped halfway up and i could sense it turn round to look at me... before it floated out of sight.
we came home one night, after everyone had gone to bed, and i saw a candelabra rise up off the dining room table and shake a little - before settling back down... then the closed curtains twitched behind the table as if someone had run their hand along them from the side i was watching(it was as if they were saying "we are here").
i kept dreaming about whispering voices in the chimney breast of the room i was in...
i didn;t tell her about any of this until i was about to leave - and she said it was all stuff that she and her family has experienced...

i never really thought about the paranormal until i'd stayed at that house!

i stayed with her one night in student accomodation she had in leeds... and the room she'd moved to was in an old nursing home... one night i felt something pushing on my chest, and i looked up and saw a vague outline of a figure (sort of glowing in the dark) and i felt it was leaning on me, making me out of breath... i sort of swiped at it and it vanished... along with the feeling...

i'd moved into a flat with a mate... and i would see a green mist move up and down the hall(my partner would see it too, and my flatmate's girlfriend said later that it used to hang around in her room) - i'd see the odd orb go up and down the corridor... one night two small ones(that looked like glowing cats-eyes) came in the lounge and we both saw them...

i get the odd faint orbs turning up in the house i live in now, as well as the recent incident with a bulldog clip appearing in the middle of the room and falling to the floor( i was the only one in the room)...

sometimes i can pick up objects and "feel" the past in them(that's not so nice... the past wasn't a good place sometimes, but it's nice to connect to history)...
