KevKiev in BE's "What Have You Seen" thread brought something that happened to me recently to mind, thus the idea for this thread. And no, it is not a joke, it really did happen. During our last big snow, my daughter and I were in my bed taking a leisurely afternoon nap. She had been a bit miffed with me when we laid down, but we didn't discuss it further, just went to sleep. Around 5 pm, my sister called waking me up. She was still asleep I thought. After the phone call, I got up to go to the loo. She kind of mumbled something that sounded like "thank you for sleeping by me..." or "are you going to come back to sleep with me..." Made sense, since she was annoyed with me when we laid down. As I was getting up, I said, I'm only going to the bathroom. She said something else I couldn't make out, so I yelled from the bathroom, "I can't hear you!" About 5 seconds later, she came out of my room with her eyes as big as dollars. She said "what was that??!" I said what are you talking about? She looked at me and said "I wasn't talking Mama, I didn't say a word." At that point, I just looked at her and said, are you kidding? She shook her head no. It wouldn't have been so bad, if the voice hadn't come from right in the bed, between us. To me it sounded like her voice, to her it sounded like mine. Either way, something had just been talking and not only had we BOTH heard it, but I had ANSWERED it!! And it spoke back :ohmy: Of course, my mind attempted to go back and recreate the whole scenario, but I couldn't because I wasn't paying attention. It was nothing out of the ordinary, so there was nothing to stick out about the encounter as it was happening. We were pretty weirded out. Then she asked me if I had held her hand in her sleep. I hadn't to my knowledge. When she came up, I actually had my back to her. She to this day refuses to believe it wasn't me that held her hand. After that happened, then I thought back to two incidents that had happened within the past 48 hours. One I had come up to go to bed and heard talking. Just one sentence from my bedroom (she was in there asleep, I have a waterbed and she has arthritis, so she's often in there). I dismissed it as the TV, but at the time I thought to myself, I thought I turned the volume off on the TV. When I went into the room, the TV volume was down, but I didn't pay attention to the setting just pushed the button. It was also a man's voice, and that is not what was on the TV at the time. Then a day before that, I had been in there taking another nap and heard again, just a sentence or two I couldn't make out, but that sounded like the radio. I remembered thinking, hmmm that sounds like a radio. But I was drifting off to sleep and gave it no further thought. Both times I dismissed the incidents because there was nothing to alert me that something was amiss. It was REALLY a crazy thing to happen with the voice in the bed though. All that evening no cats came in the room to sleep on the bed and my German Shepherd kept pacing in and out of the bedroom, although I felt nothing bad or evil. I just made it known that this was our house, had been for a long time, and we weren't going anywhere. So we could live in peace, I'd help if there was anything I could do, but no more surprises and no evil stuff. Since then, we've had no more incidents in my room. But I have to admit, while I wasn't scared, I was a bit wary for a couple of weeks. I don't like surprises, especially the disembodied voice kind! Anybody else had any paranormal or just plain weird, inexplicable stuff happen to them?
