Out of body experiences and the like...

stormkeeper

I had a chat with one of my classmates about 30 minutes ago about me, and how I was trying to get into class. Now, this normally wouldn't be anything special, only... I was in my room at the time as I was feeling ill! The funny thing is that the entire class witnessed it and I have no idea what to make of it. Everyone is positively certain it was me and all. I'll post up the log in my next post for you all to see, and tell me what you think.

The jury is still out on what it is, and I don't think it'll ever be solved, so lets talk about them in general?

Bollocks.
Why would people "swear it was you", when it wouldn't have been unusual that is was you. I'm why would they have to swear it was you? Why would they not have just looked at you and thought nothing of it.

And more importantly, why am I bothering to reply to this crap?

Interesting, how come you didn't mention this when I saw you yesterday ?


:v:



I don't know much about this, but I thought that you'd be aware of being somewhere more than other people would be aware of you being there. Unless maybe you were asleep or something at the time it happened ?

lol, I don't think I told Mark this when I saw him on MSN, and I never saw you, so I couldn't tell you ^_^;;

I think I was asleep at the time, if not, getting ready to go to class. I decided not to go in the end as I felt pretty ill at the time. If it was an OBE, I'd have thought that I'd actually recall doing it, but I don't. Plus, it was cold outside, so I don't think I was physically there. Still, it's pretty wierd. I distinctly remember though that I "hovered" over a stairs in one of my previous houses when I was a child, though god knows what that was. I actually went to the library with my mum the day after and got out a book on the paranormal, a Usborne (sp?) one that talked about OBEs, so I got it. I recall someone being concerned about my choice of book, and expressed this to my mum. That is my earliest memory of my interest in the paranormal (I was around 9-11 at that point)

I also seen a "monster" under my bed when I was about 8 (maybe younger) as well, and at that point, I didn't have much of an imagination, plus it made noise too, and any dreams I have that I recall have always been silent, so I dunno. I do recall it looking like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street though, and I did try to say hello to it as well, if I recall.

I had one other experience as well that I recall, but I'm unsure of that one atm, so I won't recount it here till I have something more concrete to say about it...

I've had very wierd experiences as a child... as you can tell from the above. Either way though, they're pretty interesting experiences, even if they were when I was very young... lol. Hard to imagine they were 12-15+ years ago in some ways...

Childhood memories are not very reliable. As children, it is easy for us to confuse vivid dreams or nightmares as real memories later in life. I would suggest that seeing the monster under your bed falls into this category. Similarly with floating above the stairs, although such phenomenon as that one have at least been observed by adult witnesses in poltergeist cases.

With regard to your bilocational doppelganger, check out the two wiki entries for 'doppelganger' and 'bilocation' for a start on that particular phenomenon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilocation

You could also google the two terms for more info of course.

Hmm... that's quite interesting, and fair enough about the memory thing.

Cheers for the info... I'll definately look into it further.

Surprised no one else has picked up on this.
