Ah, yes, ghosts. Mere figments of the imagination, created by the complex organ we call the brain.

Haven't seen one of these mysterious hallucinations? Try this.

Stay up for 2 days straight without any sleep. Eventually your brain will release a natural drug into your bloodstream (forget what the drug was called) that basically makes you hallucinate like crazy. I stayed up for 3 days straight once with a friend of mine, and kept seeing full figured gray colored people running through my house. Sometimes I would just go insane and chase after them. It's pretty fun but also pretty scary. Then you get the occasional spots of rainbow here and there. Basically your brain is telling you "Ack, I'm tiiiiired, let's go to sleeeep!"


Ive experianced some similar things during hypnogogic sleep (i think thats what they call it)

Once I woke quickly in bed and stared at my trousers hanging over my chair for a few minutes. I was half-asleep and i noticed the legs of my trousers started to curl up. I jumped up and they were back to normal.

Annnd one morning, my alarm was going off and my mum comes in to turn it off. She picks up my alarm clock and im barely awake and i turn to my shelf to turn it off. I say to my mum "no no wait its not that ill get it" I was looking a minature black bag with legs (yes) running around my shelf ringing. I hadnt taken anything.

Another example - i hate spiders. Other night I woke and on returning from the bathroom and getting back into bed i saw a spider on the wall. I went to crush it with my fist but as soon as i moved it just vanished.

You can actually try to bring these hallucinations on yourself before you sleep, its really simple you just lie on your back in bed, close your eyes for 5 minutes or so and then keep them open for a while, then close them, then open them until you really really feel drowsy. (Sometimes you will feel like you are on a rollercoaster, going up and down. You can actually feel the movement, its quite relaxing) When you feel as if your about to go to sleep, open your eyes. Sometimes you may hear things (Ive heard voices - That ALWAYS creeps me out!!!!) and you'll probably start to hallucinate. you'll either then fall asleep or become afraid of what your brain thinks you are seeing.

EDIT:

Interesting - it mentions feeling a presence when you are in this state.

Best mate of mine used to have a girlfriend who lived across the neighborhood. He'd sneak out of his house around midnight to go "see" her, and come back to his place around 3 or so. This required him to walk through the woods in his back yard. As he was walking he thought he heard laughter so he stopped and listened. at that moment he heard what sounded like a 5 year old girl say "heeheehee! I don't wanna play!" come from no more than a few feet away.

He screamed, cried and ran all the way home. Thinking of that story always made the hair on the back of my neck standup when I walked to his house from mine at night (which required walking through the same woods).

I would have cried too. Unless there was a pretty lady on my arm. That changes everything. Does that happen to you guys, where you suddenly act braver because there's a girl there?
One time, I escorted my future girlfriend to a cemetery, because the dumb ******* had to do a last minute report on the history of our town, and wanted a rubbing of a gravestone. Of all times, she wanted to do it at night, "to get the feel". So she's getting the rubbing, I'm walking around like a retard, when my foot sinks into the ground. I freak out, and like trip over the gravestone onto my friend. Luckily, I look like a hero, because I grab her, and pull her to the ground as this bird(owl?) flies down. She screams, etc, and I act all cool, even though I was scared shitless, and was scared of zombies. The foot sinking into the ground really scared me. Almost as much as that Rosie Odonnel sex scene on nip/tuck.

I think if I saw a ghost I wouldn't even have time to freeze up I would probably just yell something and run away with my heart beating really fast and a headache brewing afterwards.

I saw something like that too, really similar, when i was lil. They are call shadow people.


Thats right. They are supposed to be quite rarely seen. There was an article on the net a few years back and someone had caught one on tape. Thing is, it was moving so fast that they only caught it in one frame from the entire video.

I was seein shadow people about a year and a half ago, but i was really blazed/coked out so i guess it was most likely my brain tricking me.

you know, I've never had a girlfriend or done anything non-platonic with the opposite sex, so I'm having a little difficulty. It can't be done right as long as humans are involved. You can make up and maintain a personality to fool someone, but a computer can't do anything similiar.

Shadow people are a known side-effect of lucid dreaming.

I've done that plenty of times due to night shift at work and having to do something the next day and then going back to work after without sleeping and never have I hallucinated. I did my driving test like that, so it's a good job I wasn't hallucinating while I did it lol.

People with SP commonly see "shadow people". It's just a side effect of the sleep disorder.

ive had a couple of experiences to what i believe they were ghosts.

the first one was when we first moved into this house i was home alone and i was about 9 years old and it was quite creepy cause half of our stuff was still in boxes. so im sitting in my bedroom and my dogs start to go burko in the kitchen barking, so i walk out (trollie bar in hand) to se what the problem is and i see a elderly lady all in white patting my dog so i freak out and drop the trollie bar and run back to my bedroom call my parients who called the police cause they could hear the dogs still barking. the police came and couldnt find anyone in the area, there was no sign of forced entry and they just put it down to me freaking out in a new house.

the second ghost sighting i remember was when i was about 13 i was cleaning my teeth with my sister in the bathroom getting ready for bed, then we both got the shivers and both saw a older man in a bowler hat and suit walk past the mirror. A couple of we were looking at pictures of the family with nanna one day and saw the exact old man with mum on his lap, turns out its my great grandfather who died before i was born.

the most recient one i remember was last year some time, my cousin who is only about 5 years old was taking a bath in my bathroom after having a swim and playing with some bath toys from god knows when they arrived ( i think i won them at the Ekka), one of the toys was a fish with a little ballbaring in it to make a rattle, i remember putting it on the side of the bath cause he was staying over that night and would prob use it in the morning. that night after everyone had left i was falling asleep after raiding MC and i hear outside what was like a paint can beign shaken and the ballbearing touching the side of the can, so i grab my trollie bar and a torch and go investigate... nothing out side. so i setle down again and i hear the rattle, rattle, rattle again this time i go and wake dad up and we went hoon hunting looking outside the fence for any sign of a retard trying to paint our fence or walls. there was nothing, the 3rd time it happened i gave up and put it down to some form of animal. I wake up in the morning and go to the toilet and begin to wash my face like i do every morning and what do i find. the little toy fish with the ballbaring sitting in the middle of the sink. i know its not that scary, but to this day when ever i hear my cousin playing with the fish in the bath it sends shivers up my spine.
