thanks for sharing..

strange isn't it?

in one day your entire paradigm can be shifted 180 degree's..

then everyone doesn't believe you because they've never had an experience themselves & you did not take a photo for them or a video lolol..

peace..

I have always chosen to accept at face value what information I am given.
I would never deny another persons experiences because I have had plenty of my own freaky experiences.

The OP could be telling a lie, or the truth,
no one will know but the OP for certain.

The paranormal is weird.

And this is a weird story.

If something ever were to happen, even remotely close to what you say you experienced, then I will hurry back to eat my words!!

I would hope you wouldn't have to eat your words. If/when you experience something similar then I would not be so quick to dismiss what you have to say.

good god people. give him a break. If you have proof he's lying bring it to the table. If not, shut up. He's a story teller that is fact. What he told was a story. Weather it is true or not is up to you. To come right out and bash someone, or make fun of someone is something we should try not to do on this site. In the realm of paranormal, lots of weird things happen so if you are not ready to read about weird things or take things with a grain and think that it may be possible to happen, then don't read this forum. There are lots of forums out there just don't be jerks thats all. Me? yeah, why not, I have no reason to doubt this guy, he has never given me a reason to think he is a liar so I will take the story for what it is, and could be. I have had weird things happen in my life, but would never share them here just for the ignorant quacks to have a poke at.

I did a quick search and found similar story's to this case.

I could keep going, these are just a few. Like I said, not saying I believe the OP but it certainly makes you think. What if?

You know there is a short stories forum here on ATS, right?

I'm here to share what happened,

Well when you post a story like this It helps a lot to have some evidence -- not just taking ones word for it.

I find it less than credible as it stands.

edit on 4/26/2012 by Chamberf=6 because: (no reason given)

Oh, you find it less than credible do you! Well why don't you write a Short Story about it.
There's a forum for that I hear.




Annnd to the OP, great little story. Sounds like you've had quite the experience.

I do not think this question has been asked yet but:
Did you feel any physical effect from the smoke in the room? From a cough, to perhaps you getting the sensation that you could inhale it?

Sounds like you got a second-hand smoked by a ghost to me.

The fact that the entity in question provided you with happiness or peace also seems to contradict the smoke.
Considering that I am sure you may have been on edge (to say the least) when the ethereal smoke entered your room.

Either way, interesting. I've heard of many stories regarding smoke in rooms, and share your experience of being "touched" or "tapped" by something that clearly was not in the room (not that I could perceive, of course)

unless you experience it you cannot say it's less than credible.

Of course I can say that.

It simply is not believable to me.

weather you believe it or not does not make it any less credible than what you experience or believe in.

Okay perhaps I didn't make myself all that clear when I first posted my experience with my friend. ( please bear in my mind I'm trying to put in to words that which my friend and I seen)

after the cloud of smoke/mass of black cloud had left. Not a second after we both felt this ($h!t I hate writing this.) Not a second after it left we both felt a sensation as if something had touched or walked right through us. How can I describe it? It's like this.. after the cloud had come and gone we both felt like something else had walked through us and or touched us. It was absolutely the greatest feeling of reassurance I have personally ever felt.

When I described this to a spiritualist she said what we felt was our guardian angel watching over us/ reassuring us that everything was okay.

Look I know it must sound like something some board nerd made up out of boredness. It is not the case. It happened. I know it happened, whats more I had somebody else in the same room experience the exact same thing. The naysayers and BScallers can never take that from me.

Thanks again for the time. really appreciated

I thought I would bring one of my experiences to bolster the "belief" that there are spirits around us all the time. Our eyes see color only and yet we think we know there can be nothing outside the visual or even auditory range of our minds eye. All of us dream, and mistake ordinary stuff for paranormal. The thing about paranormal is that when that happens it is enough of an experience that one must accept it as real, then get all excited about it, tell everybody we know, and then be disbelieved or even mocked because we see "spooks" or whatever. Thats the bummer of course, that as soon as the experience ends there is nothing left to prove it ever happened (except to us). If a door or window opens on its own that can be explained as wind; if a shimmering in the air moves across the room, that can be explained as tired eyes or meds or something; if you hear your name called or feel a presence that can be thought to be TV or a friend in the next room or whatever. If you hear and see all three back to back then it gets your attention. If you hear later that others that you don't even know experience the same sorts of things there...

I was going to relate one of my own here ( I have a few) but this is not my thread and others are so quick to deny reality outside their own senses that lately I am like why bother? Its a lot of effort and some are so quick to call people liars, scoff or call hoax. So you don't deserve to hear it. These remain MY subjective experiences, not yours.

Your loss...

Hey if I can share mine then there is nothing to stop you.
