As in... nothing.

I've been having strange sounds, seeing things out of the corner of my eye. Even my husband said he saw a shadow man standing by the end of the couch late at night a couple months ago.

My grandmother died three weeks ago and it's been incredibly painful.

But all the ghostly stuff has outright stopped. Completely. No more doors opening and closing, no sounds of crunching under feet, no sounds of scratching under the bed or in the walls, no feelings that someone just sat on the bed, nothing out of the corner of my eye.

Somehow this seems just as creepy as when all that stuff was happening. It makes me feel like something is on the way to a big blow out.

The only thing I can think of is that it was mum here doing that stuff and gramma came and got her after gramma died so now it's stopped.

One of those two reasons.

Sorry for your loss, Maybe your Grandmother has made things more peaceful for you.

  

[MacCionoadha BeanSidhe]

I'm sorry to hear you lost your Grandma. I also think, your Grandma quieted things down. She may be trying to make things easier for you to cope, by not allowing all the paranormal shenanigans to go on.

[moiraesfate]

I'd love to think that. I know I had a dream about her a couple days ago. We sat down and had dinner together. And it was just like normal. No mention of her dying or anything, we just chatted about every day stuff and say and ate. I wasn't even upset when I woke up but I haven't cried since. It's almost like she came to say goodbye.

[daphnerose]

Sounds like it to me!

[moiraesfate]

Ok, so I was wrong. Well, kind of.

The sounds, sitting on my bed and the like have completely stopped. But my husband and I are seeing something small and round out of the corner of ours eyes. It's black and lasts no longer than a second. It's smaller. Like smaller than a cat but bigger than a rat. And it's fuzzy. It's really really fast. And if you turn to look toward it, you won't see anything.

I know it's not my eyes having floaters or something. Two weeks ago I had my eyes checked so I could get contacts so it's a much more in depth check than a regular eye check. My eyes are fine other than having astigmatism. My husbands eyes are better than 20 20 and always have been. He can see things clearer than anyone I've ever met. I have to wear glasses to see type this small. To him it's nothing.

I don't know what this is. It doesn't give me the "scare" feeling. It doesn't feel good either, just like... it's there. And that's all.

Lately though, I've been seeing them smaller than that. Crawling up things, like the side of a box. I thought I was seeing a spider or something but nothing is ever there when I step close to see.

It's more annoying than anything else.

[KlaineyGStudy]

I am glad your eyes checked out and they aren't giving you a scary feeling. Maybe they are just going about their business, whatever that might be, and this is the simplest form a spirit can adopt while being the least intrusive?

I see orbs and they can be very small but they aren't black and they don't climb on things.

[PIT leader]

I see things like that occasionally, I call them "imps" as that fits their size and their mischievous nature. My dad is more psychic than me and sees them more clearly, he describes them as looking like a cross between a cat and a monkey. He says they come in all sizes but are usually small. I just see small cat-shaped shadows running up walls or across rooftops fast. My mum has only seen them twice and thought it was our cat, but then the "imp" disappeared so she realised it was something else.

There are some really good deals online for full cctv systems with 4 or more cameras that you can leave recording 24/7.

The plus side to this is you can make your home more secure and if anything unusual happens in camera view you then can check to see if your camera managed to record anything.

Good luck

I see things like this all the time, and I know they aren't floaters because I've had those all my life and can tell the difference. I can see almost tiny things moving around, also. It's kind of spooky, but it doesn't bother me. It's a pain when you get fixated on the "creatures" running around, and people stare at you funny, as you can see them and they can't... actually, it's irritating.

Visual phenomena can be the most frustrating. Seldom is it collective and even more rare is it captured. I'm not sure that visual phenomena can even be captured visually for validation. There will always be mundane explanations but we all seem to agree, not ALL of them. It's shocking considering the number of cellphones available throughout the world that there hasn't been truly a convincing and validated image made.

i've only seen something collectively once in the last 40 years. Sadly psychologists suggest it be be nothing but a collective hallucination. Apparently, the Doris Bither case. (Barry Taff aka The Entity 1974) had phenomena witnessed by 28 people and was captured by a professional photographer. Unsurprising, skeptics called it a collective hallunication even then but unfortunately they chiselled their reality into a state a "denial".

Several times, I've witnessed audio phenomena that fails to be recorded even with multiple recording devices. Much of the phenomena, if given enough time can be explained with natural causes but not all of them. That's what continues to peak my interest in this enigmatic pseudoscience.

I've always respected Dr Taff and his work in the field. I remember reading his book on this case back in the 70's, the movie was ok.  But that photo always stuck in my head as possibly one of the few photographs that showed paranormal activity -- or an entity.

Agreed Vlawde, I put him in my top 5. The movie was only loosely based on the actual investigation and the ending was truly far fetched from the actual events. I only include it because many remember the movie but don't know the actual case. Another one of my favorite investigators (not auditory related) was Peter Underwood. Loved his dedication. He investigated for over 50 years and continued his research up until his death.

BTW- Although I endorse a healthy degree of skepticism, the Bither case had 28 investigators witness phenomena at the same time with the image above and the skeptics continued to deny the possibility. I understand that a collective hallucination is possible but, "28 people at the same time?"

You have made a very good point.  the possibility or chance that it could happen with 2-3 people would be fairly high...IMO.  28 people at the same time would have to be along the lines of being close to the odds of winning the lottery.

[moiraesfate]

Thanks guys. Yeah, it's really weird. They don't scare me, just make me wonder what it is. Although I swear I felt a cat jump on my bed at the end near my feet last night. Definitely no cat in the room, never mind at the end of the bed, I looked. And I keep my cat out of the bedroom because she wakes me up incessantly.

Really annoying.

MacCionadha, it's very irritating when you can see them and others can't. Since it's my husband and I and he has such good vision, it makes me wonder what's going on.

[ClodHead]

Now I know that would scare me I am new here and look forward to reading the posts.

I haven't heard of Dr Taff, I will look it up! That photo is definitely odd isn't it ? Those sideburns!!

Getting kind of annoying. I feel an animal jump on my bed every night near my feet for at least the last month. It's probably a cat. Once it felt like a dog (heavy). But my cat isn't allowed in my bedroom at night because she loves to keep me awake. I haven't had it crawl on me or anything, though it felt like it laid down against my feet the other night. Nothing there of course.

I'm wondering if it's the old owners kitty. They had five. Maybe one of them died and the ghost came back to the house.

It's more annoying than anything else because it wakes me up.

[KolIkA]

I know how annoying this can be.

As a kid we had several cats that had passed over come and jump on the beds. One even like to rub against our legs.

My mother even experienced one of our living cats astral travel because to her surprise she found the cat was fast asleep on the bed when she went into her bed room.
