When did this start. Do you think it is family members that have passed? Or is there a connection to these experiances from your son?

Generaly scents of perfume cigar and pipe smells are made from loved ones who have gone to heaven and are back to say hello im with you. They manifest an odour that you would associate with them. Black shadows seen out the corner of our eyes and stinky stinky wafts of odour are earthbound souls also known as shadow people. Ordinary human souls that have not gone to heaven for what ever reason.
Autistic children see everything angels demons earthbounds heaven sents. I think hes reaction would be a good indicator as to who you have around you.
Earthbounds need energy and will drain yours if you let them. Tell them to stand back now!!
Objects moved are often from a heaven sent soul who's trying to tell you they are about.

I have seen those shadows since I was a young girl and have tried communicating with them to some effect. They appear to be very afraid of me most of the time whereas I have never felt reason to be concerned about them. I also believe there is a spirit/ghost/entity in our house which has been far more interactive. I sometimes hear music and frequently experience cupboard doors and drawers opened. We both believe it to be the man who built the house and so we honour him wherever possible to keep good relations. It is an older house that we have been slowly remodelling and nearly every big project with the house was getting screwed up with some unforeseen #$@%#$ event until we began asking his permission in advance -- so far we're batting a thousand on successful projects. Go figure?

The scientist in me is still skeptical about all this but the mystic in me says to remain open minded. I have never had a harmful experience with a spirit or otherwise.

Yes this sounds commom in most "hauntings"

We lived in a house where it was commom to see a shadow comming up the porch and to the front door almost daily, and almost to the minute I would know when we would smell ( either pipe or cigar smoke) It would even trigger my asthma. And often things would just fly ( not fall, fly) off of my desk, or off of the mantle.

And we had to turn off our indoor motion detectors for our security system, they would go off from time to time. ( not a defect or air or animals, we had them checked alot)

So yes welcome to those that have lived in a huanted house.

By the way, these are normally harmless, I have lived once in a house that had a real "evil" feel and things happened, we moved out of that house the same month.

I moved in a house with a spirit or spirits. My ghost used to shut my shower off and my Tv if I left the room. It was as if They did not want to waste anergy or something. MY mother in law and brother in law blessed the house and it calmed for a while. We still have some things that happen and Yes I have also seen a black shadow and one night i woke up and something black was floating right over me..
I usually say the lords prayer when this happens. And it calms me down

Hmmmm, I see a lot of interesting things here. But I must say, its hard for me to take myself to a place where I can believe spirits and things of that nature.
I come from a family that has seen things all their lives, my mom is a big one on these supernatural experiences, but I have no yet seen anything, or felt anything to make me believe that the spirit world exists.

Human beings have 100% of brain power that we CAN use, but we only use 10% of it. Just 10%.... When things like seeing ghosts, and smelling things occurs, thats a percent of our brains that is becoming overactive. A lot of these experiences are somewhat self induced... Im scared, and then I see something, I think something is there, and then I see a shadow, I expect the ghost to come at this time, it comes at this time.
A lot of the time we psyche ourselves into believing certain things, and a lot of the time, they come from within. Internal fear can cause a lot of damage.
When you are having an uncomfortable experience with what you may think of as a ghost or a supernatural presence, your first reaction would be to pray. And as soon as you do that, you feel like it has gone away, and for the time being you feel safe again. Well the first thing I was to point out is that people who pray are religious, and when you're religious your church, family, parents, friends, pastor tells you that there is a god, and that there is a devil. And we are taught to fear the devil. Why do we see ghosts as something evil, as something to fear. Well what ghosts are is someones conscience getting the better half of them, telling them that they are being threatened, and then they feel the need to use prayer to get rid of it. Within all of us we have good and evil, but I cant say that angels are demons influence us to do neither good nor bad. Its all within ourselves.
We commonly associate what we think of as hauntings and ghost sightings, to be scary and evil experiences. Why do we do that, well, because we fear evil... and whatever threatens us is thought of as evil. Theres so much more that I want to say, and my thoughts are all jumbled because of that. If anyone has any specific questions I would be happy to answer. In the meantime, I think this topic should continue, its very interesting.

Althought I can understand why you say all that you do here (and many believers of the supernatural fit your description) there are some who don't fit the profile you portray; I am one of them. I am highly sketical whenever I am having one of these events. Additionally, I am neither afraid nor psyching myself out when I see things. I am of a very analytical, scientific nature so there is curiosity on my part, not fear. Additionally, I don't pray to make the things I see go away and am not of a religious background, so I don't have much belief in the concept of evil or sin to motivate me. I have repeatedly said here that I have never experienced being harmed in any way by supernatural things. I am not even sure I like calling them "supernatural" even. But there is more to this than this and sometimes.... I see it. I understand that some people don't see it-- I think most people don't and I can easily see why too. And there are those who do see and don't care to discuss it since it is just that much of a non-event too. I just wanted to add this to the mix here, thanks.

Val,
Im glad you responded to what I had to say. I am a highly diverse person, I see on both sides of all situations. And I did read what you had to say, I just didnt have enough time to give my opinion on everyones thoughts on the matter.
Im also glad that you see where Im coming from with this whole religious thing, religion is a common factor in exorcisms and ideas of demon possession and what not. Possession is big with the catholic church, and many times when someone is said to be possessed, they are either young (looking for attention, or copying what they see on tv), highly religious (the fear of the devil takes a big hold on them), or they are special/crazy (handicapped, special ed, psychotic, whatever you want to call it). Back in the day when the first possessions came to surface, people didnt know a handicapped/crazy person from a normal person, so when someone would go into seizures, or talk under their breath poeple of a somewhat religious background would think that these people were possessed, and those ideas carry on to this day.
When I was around 18, I was involving myself heavily in the party, alcohol life. And whenever I drank and would stay the night at friends houses, I would see things. Every night around a certain time (5am) I would come into contact with a being who didnt belong to the house, someone who in other words had already passed away, and was still residing at the house, unwanted. I thought to myself, Im only seeing these things because Im tired, and Im drunk... I dont believe anymore that these occurances were real, I think I made them up, or thought them up. The only thing that freaked me out, was when I would tell my friends of what happened to me the night before, they would tell me that they had had issues with a supernatural type of experience, and that whoever I was seeing was someone who had died in the house or in the area. Like it would be int he newspaper or something... or they would know the person.
I think I just have a special gift that allows me to sense things, but I dont think the actual ghost would come to me and talk to me.
I also didnt mean to say that all of these experiences come from fear, or that they induce fear. I just feel like a lot of it is personal, and sometimes we can make things up in our own minds because of movies weve seen, stories weve heard, and other peoples experiences with ghost/ spirits and what not.
I am highly skeptic, and I dont believe things until I see them, and can use some sort of science to prove that what Im seeing or feeling, or what someone else is seeing or feeling is the real deal. My bfs mom is always watching these ghost shows on TV, and every time she starts talking to me about how that stuff is real, I get pissed, because it just makes me laugh that people can believe in this sort of thing without even ever having an experience.
I know Im wrong for feeling this way, but Im the kind of person who doesnt believe until I see. I have had strange experiences before, like feeling like someone is really close behind me. I have had a feeling like someone is talking into my ear, or really close to my ear, but not saying anything. I have experienced lights bursting as soon as I enter a room, and lights going on without me touching them. But I always feel like theres an explanation to all of these things.
I highly believe in magic, and I believe that the 90% of our brains that we dont use is a part that can allow us to do anything. Fly, dissapear, pick up heavy objects that are bigger than us by 10x. We have the power to block out pain, we have the power to kill someone without our bare hands without ever knowing we had that strength. And I dont believe in magic like "oh my god, were did that dove come from" I believe in magic like, how the hell did she know that her sister was going to call. Some people call that ESP or whatever, but thats just a nice term for... dude shes using 12% of her brain.
What am I saying, hell if I know. Im just speakin my mind. Telling people what I feel about the subject.
A lot of the time what we feel, like the hairs on the back of our necks standing up, the shadow we see in the distance, the candle bursting. This are all from to much energy being in the same place at the same time. And a lot of the time, our minds will take something thats ordinary, and bring it to the extraordinary. We have the power to do so much, and our minds sometimes remind us of that. I believe you see shadows and things of that nature, but I dont think your seeing ghosts, or spirits. I just think your seeing energy, or your eyes are playing with you.
Until someone can come to me and say, I have seen an actual person, and they talked to me, then we can talk. But until I see it, or I know of someone close to me who has seen it, and can prove to me through research that they are speaking with, or coming in contact with someone who has passed away, I wont believe in any of this stuff.
Im open to more... whoever wants to challenge the way I think, or prove me wrong. Im not being *****y or cocky, I kind of want to believe, but I havent had anyone convince me that I should yet.
