Weird Experiences in House

setanta1976

Hi

First time posting on this forum so be gentle!!

Just wanted some advice on comments on the following.

My wife recently stayed in her sisters house. She lives on her own and has just recently moved into this house. The house is approximately 20-30 years old and had one previous owner. The owner is now living in a home. Her husband is dead but not sure if he died in the house.

My wife went to stay the weekend gone by. Everything was grand in the house during the day. Anyway she went to sleep at 10.30pm and feel asleep. She had a dream, actually a nightmare. A group of people standing round a fire, they weren’t moving (zombie like). She recognized one of the people (a relative). He turned looked at her really creepily and then was sucked into the fire like you would see in some kind of movie.

She woke up with a jump (she actually said she jumped in the bed) and was wide awake. She straightaway felt uneasy and felt something in the room. Now she put this down to the nightmare, but this was different and she was really scared. She got her phone and just started going through her pictures to distract her and she eventually went to sleep.

The next day she didn’t mention anything to her sister. They decide to move around a few things in the house to freshen it up. There was a table and when they moved it, they discovered a drawer. Nothing major in it apart from a photo album. The woman that owned the house obviously spent a lot of time in Africa on mission or something lie that.
Lots of pictures of little kids etc. My wife’s sister said that’s weird – I had a dream during the week and I was surrounded by a circle of black children and a light appeared in the centra beside me and the light kind of entered me.

So they both put it down to just dreams.

Now my wife told me the all this on Sunday night when she arrived home. Grand.

I cam home last night and she says you’re not going to believe this. First thing that came into my head was the relative she saw in dream was dead!! – He wasn’t.

She said she had phoned one of here other sisters who hasn’t stayed in the house yet. They talk all the time and are very close. She mentioned the dreams. Her sister said – Have you spoken to other sisters (2 other sisters have stayed on separate weekends before my wife).

The 2 other sisters had been talking to each other and both had weird experiences as well.

One of them had a really weird dream like my wife and woke up feeling something.

The other one had been sleeping in the same room as the other sisters and was woken up by her sister that lives there – She had had a bad dream, so she went into the room and got into bed beside her. The sister fell asleep but she couldn’t - Then she felt the bedsheets moving and closing in around her. She couldn’t move and then she felt herself – and this is going to sound stupid – rising about 2 or 3 inches off bed before she fell back down into the mattress.

They all had separate experiences and only when one mentioned it did they all say what had happened to them.

Now her sister is in the house (She isn’t very well hence the reason that the sisters all stay on different weekends), She is on some medication and has said she has said she seen some hallucinations but has put this down to her medication dosage (She was a very high dose and now it’s much lower)

Any comments on this.

Thanks

Sleep paralysis or just paranoia caused by waking up after a nightmare. As for the nightmare, well perhaps something was mentioned in the past about the lady who owned the house previously having being a missionary. There might ahve been something of it around the house. Just because you don't explicitely remeber something doesn't mean that your subconscious isn't aware of the fact. Also the fact that the ill sister has mentioned she's had hallucinations is probably putting the other girls on edge too which could lead to the nightmares in the first place.

Intriguing.

The one common denominator there seems to be nightmares. Very high levels of EMF can cause that - http://www.think-aboutit.com/energy/pwr_line.htm

The Bedroom Is Often the Most Dangerous
Place In the Home
A good night's sleep. For many, it has been years since they have been able to use that expression. Tired of laying awake nights? Tired of waking up 'half-dead' in the morning? Tired of taking sleeping pills and tranquilizers to sleep? If so, you are not alone. There are from 20-70 million chronic insomniacs in the U.S. and millions more who sleep poorly.

After a rough night of tossing and turning, the gritting and grinding of teeth, having nightmares, sweating, suffering through muscle cramps and spasms, millions of these people will get up and drag themselves through the day in near exhaustion, working at levels far below normal efficiency. Lost productivity in the U.S. from poor sleep runs into the billions. And how many accidents on the road are caused by fatigue and poor sleep?

Many researchers and scientists now feel that electromagnetic field radiation, both from within and without the bedroom, is the single biggest factor in poor sleep.

Sleep paralysis seems to be used for every question relating to sleep. Nightmares and sleep paralysis are decidedly two different things.

HI - thanks for replies

They knew nothing and still know nothing about the owner - all they now is that she is in a home and the family needed to rent it out - all done through an estate agent.

The sister that is ill only mentioned the hallucinations to my wife - she wouldn't say to the other sisters as not as close. Also the sister has been ill for over 20 years and the sisters would be used to her saying stuff like that - my wife told me of several fairly bad situations that happened years ago when the sister was pretty ill. I don't think anything she would say to the sisters would put them on edge to be honest.

Yeah, but this bit is key

But that would only account for 1 of the sisters experiences. The OP's wife had a different experience, a nightmare.

OP not to diminish what your family are experiencing at all but I have encountered similar type stories through my job. I work with the elderly, with carers and you'd be surprised how creeped out people can get in an older persons house. I'm not sure if its that older people reminding younger folks of death as a possibility (certainty of course but I think younger people forget that, and middle age people ignore that!!)

Also the decor, older furniture, carpets, curtains. I have worked with carers who would be convinced a house is haunted just because its old or it appears older by the decor. (Although I did work in a house that was about 50 years old and it had some really odd occurrences, doors closing, banging, radios going funny, just weird stuff)

Could your wife be protective of her sister? It sounds as though she may be quite a vulnerable person, would your wife's fears for her sister crept into her dreams? The same for the other sisters?

Absolutely, one seemed to have sleep paralysis, & another had, well, a nightmare.

Weird having the common dream with a ring of people with fire/light in the middle though

Wife has 5 sisters and 1 Brother - she is the youngest. My wife and other sister had a nightmare - not sure what other sisters nightmare was.

They are protective but in her previous house that she was in no problems and that was in the same town and she only moved in for a short time as well before moving to this one.

Never connected that actually!

Does the house have carbon monoxide detectors? Has it been checked for CO or gas leaks?
