First time posting in this forum!
I don't know if these qualify but I'll share anyway...
Occasionally, I'll be in a very familiar place (eg college, walking down a street) and completely forget where I am and how I got there. This might last only a few seconds, not a nice experience.
Not just limited to places but I can sometimes forget how to do things. My best example is one morning I hopped into my car and completely forgot how it worked or how to drive

Have you ever talked to the doc about this?0 -

Great forum
Why am I only seeing it now...
A few years ago, some weird things were happening around my parents house. I'll just start this by saying I don't believe in ghosts/the afterlife, would consider myself an agnostic atheist and always look for logical reasons behind things.
However...
When my sisters were about 6 or 7, the two of them were fast in bed asleep upstairs. Myself and the folks were sitting downstairs around the kitchen table having a late dinner.
When all of a sudden, a blood curdling scream comes from their room. Sounded like both of them screaming at exactly the same time. A terrified scream I'd never heard from them before.
Ran upstairs to see what was going on and both of them were lying in their beds, petrified and shaking. It was all very confusing.
When we finally got them to calm down to see what happened, they both kept saying there was a man in the room. The freaky thing was, they both described the exact same 'man' separately from each other.
Apparently he was completely powder white, bald, dressed in a white robe, but with black features. They could see him clearly enough to make out facial features.
I've asked them a few times about it while they were adults and they still stand by what they saw. I remember one of them said she saw it, thought it was just her imagination and said to her sister 'do you see that?' to which she said 'yes'.
Around that time, some other freaky things went on. Things moving around. The attic door swinging open. Things which never really happened before.
The above could all really be explained away if you wanted to, children and their crazy imaginations, maybe someone opened the attic door and forgot to close it...this one though...
A few days after the 'incident' with the weird bald white apparition, my dad went out to the shed to get something. It was locked with a padlock from the outside as usual.
When he opened it, he saw this. A screwdriver embedded into a very solid piece of wood (I think it was a bed side cabinet). It was right as you open the door, as if someone was trying to make a point. Apologies for the size of the photo, this was taken years ago on an early gen camera phone!
This was a heavy screwdriver, so it needed to be embedded deep to get it to stick out like that. He tried to create it himself by banging the screwdriver into the side of it but just couldn't as the wood was too solid. It kept falling out.
We never did get to the bottom of how that happened inside a locked shed.0 -

Just trying to apply some logic to the screwdriver pic I posted.
Someone would have had to -- Gain access to the house
- Find the key for the shed
- Gone back out to the shed and opened the door
- Found a screwdriver and some heavy object
- Knock the screwdriver into the wood panel, in one strike, first attempt. No easy task. Whatever did it, definitely did it in one go as there were no other marks on the wood panel.
- They also had to get it dead straight in one go. The screwdriver was solid. It's not like they knocked it in and then wiggled it straight. It's also so straight that it couldn't have accidentally fallen in somehow.
- then lock the shed back up.
- Put the keys back in the house.
- Leave without it looking like they were ever there.
Without wanting to sound too sensationalist, it looks to me like someone threw it with great force like a dart 0 -

I spent a lot of time during my teenage years in my grandmother's house and odd things used to happen there all the time- things moving themselves, unexplained noises and lights etc. I remember one night, there was just me and gran in the house and I went to wash the dishes after supper. The plug stopper was missing from the sink. Myself and granny tore the place apart looking for it to no avail. Eventually, we gave up and just decided that it must have fell down into some dark unreachable place. Half an hour later, I got up to fill the kettle and there was the stopper, smack bang in the middle of the sink :eek:
Another night, I left a pair of jeans and a tshirt drying on the clothes horse in front of the fire. Got up early the next morning to find my clothes laid out perfectly on the couch as if someone had been sitting in them.
Another night, I was lying wide awake unable to sleep. I turned over to face the wardrobe only to see a big ball of yellow light on the wardrobe door. There was absolutely nowhere it could have been coming from. It was kind of pulsating, getting bigger and smaller. Eventually it just shrank away to nothing and disappeared.
All sorts used to go on there
There would always be sounds of pots and pans scraping in the kitchen at night but when we'd get up, nothing would be moved My mother says that when she was young, they would all hear the same thing at night and when they would get up, all of the saucepan lids would have been put into the oven in the range stove :eek: Also, it might be worth adding that my granny is not the prank playing type and these events would frighten the sh1te out of her 
Strange things still happen in the house only not as often (or maybe I'm just not there to notice )
Any rational explanations welcome 0 -

Really interesting story about the screwdriver o1s1n.
Curious to know more about the event, was the photo taken by you or your dad? Did you directly witness it yourself as in grab hold of the screwdriver etc? What age would you have been at the time and was your dad handy at woodworking? Wasn't a practical joke on his part maybe?0 -

Great thread!
I've had some weird experiences, actually a few. The interesting part of it is that alot of things happen when my glasses are off (as was pointed out to me-I hadnt seen the connection (pardon the pun :-)). Anyways, I still see the things clearly (without my glasses)....my minds eye? I dunno...
Anyways,
- Once just woke up and just started crying (at about 14 years old) to a very sad feeling. Few mins later phone rang to say my Aunts husband had passed away. That one puzzled me cause I wasnt close to my Aunt or her husband.
- The biggest, overwhelming feeling Ive had was about my granny (lots of lovely granny stories here :-)). She died on a Tuesday in 1997. I was very very close to her. And I spent as much time with her as I could. But Id started uni that September and was working part-time too, and hadnt seen as much of her as I'd liked. Anyways, on a Monday eve (night before she died), I was sitting at the kitchen table doing Uni work, and got an unreal, almost compulsion, feeling to go and see her.
So, I dropped everything. And drove up to see her. l couldnt understand at the time....She was talking away to me. But I was so distracted/almost detached. I was just staring at something stupid on the TV (I know now it was some kind of avoidance on my part). Anyways, I said Id to go. And I hugged her (Im not a hugger by nature) and thought "this is the last time Ill speak to her".
I drove out the driveway and saw her standing at the door to see me off and thought "the last time Ill see my granny alive is in the rear view mirror of my car". I didnt know where all this was coming from. But I felt I shouldnt say anything. It was her time to go. Phone rang next evening. My mam answered. And before she'd a chance to say anything, I just said "Granny's died and she's ok". My mam said "no, she's ok, they are getting an ambulance and she'll be ok". My reaction was "yeah whatever" I went to wash my hair :-) to get "ready". The next call was to say she was dead, and I was in the middle of washing my hair. Miss that woman like crazy. Anyways, I got a little stick from relatives after for not saying anything...Id been the last to see her/spend time with her (she just dropped dead while walking off a bus into the old folks home for a party :-)), and all I could say was "it was her time" and I was not to interfer. The following evening, my dad said the kindest thing to me ever (a man of few words) as I was more upset about people being upset at me than my granny dying (i.e., I knew she was fine/happy). And my dad said "you were a tonic. You visiting her helped her".
The next night, we were all up after the pub. About 10 people smoking in the kitchen. And I was sitting there. Smoking myself. And I get this over whelming smell of flowers. Pure flowers. As fresh as anything. Very fleeting. And I asked did anyone smell it. Noone else did.
There have been more strange "feelings" and seeing things. I once kept seeing an image in my head. For weeks. I thought it was something Id seen on TV, as I couldnt rationalise why I kept seeing this thing. Anyways, one day I was with a particular person and the feeling got strong to say something to them. So, I said "listen, you might think am mad, but would you know why the image of "this particular thing" keeps coming into my head". The person went pale as a ghost. And told me I was after stumbling on a massive unknown secret. They then confided in me (as they felt they'd noone to talk to). And I helped them sort the problem.
Gosh-there is lots more. Just a few weeks ago, I was at home. Doing nothing in particular. I have a swiss ball. The ball, of its own accord just started rolling across the floor (not so unusual I hear you say), but it then stopped and bounced. Then rolled back to where it came from.
Oh I havent even started on the stuff without my glasses.....
The thing is, I still dunno if I believe in paranormal. Or accept it.0 -

I felt like it was a women but then it was penetratring, I was being anally abused,(I'm str8 btw),the feeling was soo real ,it was frightening but it was quite clear that this presence had a huge amount of power over me.
Would sleep paralysis create something so vivid in your opinion?
I only know a little about sleep paralysis as my girlfriend gets it on occasion. And what I do know, is just from reading up about it online. I don't believe there's a paranormal aspect to it, but then again, I can't speak for your own situation.
A strong overpowering presence in the room is something that sounds like an episode of sleep paralysis. There's different examples of how it manifests in different people, from a presence, visual hallucinations, can't breathe, loud noise in ears etc etc. I've never heard of an example like yours, I suppose it's possible, but again, I'm far from an expert on the subject
