My grandfather died at the beginning of the year. He used to stay downstairs watching TV until about 2AM while my grandmother was asleep upstairs. He was a heavy man.

My grandmother told me that she feels his weight shift on the bed around this time and it wakes her up--she wakes up thinking her husband is coming to lie down for bed. Of course, he's been gone over 6 months now. She swears she can feel the weight of him crawling into bed and waking her up.

I, myself, feel a bit of a shaking, rumbling sometimes in the my bed in the middle of the night that wakes me up (no jokes, please. I'm serious.) I sometimes wonder if it's a small earthquake or something. But it happens quite often. At least a couple of times a month with no reported quakes big enough to shake me awake.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Condolences.
But your story makes me wonder if we really do leave earth upon death.
Or if at least, our energy stays behind.

Energy with gravity?

Interesting thought!

Is it possible that our "soul" leaves to the unknown.... But maybe the things we did on a daily basis stay. -Our energy of doing that stays behind and continues to do so until it dies out. Couldn't that explain hauntings as well?
-For instance, hauntings usually consist of a few things no? Such as doors opening and knocking. In any "haunted house" (example) these are the only things that happen. In another "haunted house" maybe lights flick on and off....
Could this just be the left over energy from the deceased that use to stay or hang out there?

You know...anything is possible I suppose!

I don't deny or necessarily accept the idea of "ghosts" or "energy" left behind!

To be open minded...I have to accept there is a possibility!

Peoples accounts of contact with "ghosts" almost leave anything open to possibility...so why not someone sitting at the edge of a bed?

Sounds as plausible as anything else!

Yes, I have, but I think it's likely just an artifact of your nervous system that can occur when falling to sleep or awakening. Similar to pins & needles when you accidentally cut off blood flow of an arm, leg or hand then restore it.

Though I don't completely discount the possibility of inter dimensional entities or just those who have the ability to absorb all light or cause it to slip around them.

I just remembered that I have a reoccurring visitor lately. I have a heart problem and I'm not supposed to sleep on my stomach with my weight on it, but sometimes I just need to for a short period. Once I fell asleep on my stomach and I was awakened by feeling a hand grabbing at my lower legs and try to lift up. Of course I turned over and looked all around not to find anybody there and went back to sleep on my back. It happens now from time to time - sometimes I feel some thing and other times it comes into my dream and wakes me. I figured it's something trying to keep me alive, perhaps some kind of guardian angel, a local ghost or that of a passed loved one. Then again it could just be my subconscious doing what it do.

Sure. I get that all the time. I have had that happen in all the houses I've lived in. Of course, all the houses I've lived in have been haunted so that might have something to do with it. Same for my husband .. he feels that all the time as well.

I will go your sitting on bed and go one better.


There have been a few times in my life where i have not only
felt someone sit on the bed, but one time it was light enough
to see, and i could actually see the depression in the bed.
Which was quite interesting.

Another was use to have it happen on the couch a lot in a place
i lived in about 10 years ago, usually evening or night, you would
feel like someone just sat down beside you.
So i ordered a EMF meter, thinking let's see what happens.

So off and on i kept checking the area of the couch, and never got
much at all of a reading, one evening i felt it, and had the meter handy
where i didnt have to get up, so i flipped it on and moved it twords the
area i felt was being sat on.. i was picking up a 3.4 on the meter,
normally the needle would not move when i ran it around the couch,
there were no electronics in that area. So for the next half hour i kept
checking the area and the reading was the same, some where around
3.5. The last time i checked, i got no reading at all again..which i
considered to be odd, because a magnetic field can not move unless the
source generating the field moves. So i hopped up and started checking
the living room out, and i found the same reading again, it was a 1 1/2 foot
ball of energy still reading around 3.5 but now it was about a foot from the
ceiling and a foot from the wall and just up and left of the end of the couch.


still cant say what it was or what causes it or how, but i have seen enough
to know there is something going on. Its not all in the mind or a
misunderstanding.

What if you are making limb movements you are numb to but other parts of your body feel the reverberations in the bed and interpret it as something foreign could happen in a sleepy state.

Hi verylowfrequency,

thanks for sharing your experience. I too sometimes wonder if it's a trick of the mind, especially the ones
when the bed jolts or shakes because that could be from a movement you've made (although I'm not sure
that's true, even about those). But the sitting on the bed is such a strong obvious thing, the heaviness of someone sitting down and the constancy of 'them' staying there with their pressure leaning against your leg, that I really don't think can be explained as easily by a trick of the mind or physiological processes.

As for your experience, it would certainly be reassuring that some benevolent entity was looking out for your well being by urging you back into the 'safer' position.

Hi severdsoul,

wow I loved reading your experience with the EMF metre! Also very intriguing with the dip you saw
on the bed. I would find that most disconcerting if I saw that. Although part of me would find it incredibly amazing and mystifying too!

How great to get those readings from the EMF metre. It certainly seems like you were tracking some sort of entity. Is that what you concluded? Have you checked out your current accomodation with the metre? If so, what did you find? Btw, are EMF metres expensive?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Cheers,

Hi again,

yes I consider this a possibility for experiences when it feels like the bed shakes or judders. But like I was saying a couple of posts above, this feels very real. Like someone sits down, the constant heaviness of someone staying there and also that pressure against your legs you feel if you are in bed and someone sits down at the side or end of your bed.

Also you mentioned in your last post that you have felt like someone was sitting on your bed before but that was in a SP state. I have OBEs and I have experienced this and other similar tactile stuff just before coming out and I have to say that it is the same sort of thing except one is experienced in a more waking state than the other. I actually strongly suspect they are both caused by entities that exist on a near dimension to this one.

Cheers,

It was amazing and a little spooky at the same time.
But i figured what ever caused it had not hurt me yet
so might as well observe.

Ya, the house we are in now, has a little activity but
it's not like my old house was. Most the houses i have
lived in growing up had something unusual going on.
This one is a new house, we are the first to live in it,
so it's quiet most the time.

prices vary, from $20 if you search online to $700.
There are many places you can order them.
i'd list a few but not sure if mod's would allow it.
