Might have been your deceased cat visiting you; might be something that's been there all along and it used to be attached to the cat but that's no longer there and it's looking for a new 'home'.

You might try a little ceremony and burn sage smudge sticks in every room of the home; odd sounding but it re-sets things. Tell whatever it is to go away now, thank you very much. An old house like that has lots of history. Anything could have happened there and most likely, at least one person has died there, hospitals and hospices being a new thing.

As to the heavy feeling physically, often people having a silent heart attack report a feeling of doom as the only symptom. You might want to get a checkup to be certain.

Thank you for writing this; I always enjoy hearing other people's experiences.

Thank you for you interesting comments.

The feeling I had yesterday was more psychological I think, but powerfully enough so to cause some physical manifestations.

Just had a check-up and I'm physically tip-top.

Well, I'm thoroughly spooked now.

Think I'll be sleeping with my Winnie The Pooh nightlight on tonight.

Hubby should get a good laugh at that... He'll probably ask me if I've been reading Stephen King again.



Never underestimate the precision of your gut instincts, OP. They exist in all of us for a reason.

Every time I've ignored my gut in my life I've paid a price.

What you described sounds like stories of how people feel when they are exposed to energy vortexes. The heaviness, oppressiveness, creepy feelings of being spied on, and the general off-kilterness of the entire incident.

If you are open to such things, you may want to sage your home and surround. It with a line of salt. A medium or downer may be helpful in clearing the space too.

This was also my first thought but at that time, I was leaning toward something that was attached to the cat. With that said, the fact that you found things "a little off" leads me to believe that perhaps it was the residual energy of one or both of your cats (cats are stealth-like and will disturb things just a little while staring intently at the object of their focus).

Either way, I've had many experience that, literally, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, so I can definitely relate to that horrible feeling. The clarity with which you describe the experience can not be faked. I've also found that the more I've focused on the energy, the stronger it's become. I believe that when you were either immersed in work or focusing on the computer or TV, it took some of the energy away from whatever was with you.

By the way, I too have had cats and have experienced the phenomena of "hearing" them after they had passed on. Others have stated the same - has anyone else ever experienced this with other domesticated animals?

Last thought - you might want to perform a protection ritual the next time you feel the presence (or you can do it daily to ward off the possibility). I've been instinctually doing this my entire life but a friend recently showed me a great way of teaching it. Imagine a shower head in the air about two feet above your head and out of the shower head come beams of white light. Imagine the light comes out of the shower head and first puts up a "light wall" along your front, then your right side, your left side and lastly, your back. Then imagine roots coming out of your feet and going down through the earth. They continue growing downward, attaching and achoring themselves to stones and other heavy objects they encounter as they make their way down to a huge pool of light. Then imagine some of the white light from the pool traveling up through the roots, into your feet and legs and joining the white light from above right at your solar plexus. Don't this visualization technique always makes me feel protected and grounded.

Sorry that I don't have an answer for what type of energy you might have been picking up on, but even if you don't believe in protecting and grounding yourself, what do you have to lose by trying it? It's helped me cope with MANY uncomfortable and scary experiences that had no logical explanation.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm sorry you had to go through such a disturbing experience...

one night i was laying in bed with the lamp on when suddenly the room turned pitch black and a shadow on my wall lit up by the moon light. the shadow was a sillohuette of a classic witch face and it began laughing hysterically.

Just cats for me also. Weird, huh? Maybe the Egyptians were right about cats.

Thank you for sharing your story, it was a great read. I am not sure how I feel about the subject. Actually, while I have never seen anything to convince me one way or another aside from a small glowing ball that circled me and flew away while thinking of a friend who had died. I have never experienced anything that was frightening. I would like to discuss the hairs standing up on your neck feeling. Most people say this happens when something scary is about to happen or they feel a presence around them.

It's something that happens to me whenever I stop and take a moment to consider that there might be some "thing" out there. Whenever I start to give serious thought about a god or a higher being or ghost or any of that the hairs on my neck and arms stand up. I can almost do it on command, its quite bizarre. While I feel no fear, the feeling travels through my entire body like a cold chill. Just wondering if that happens to anyone else when they just think about the supernatural? And if anyone can link to some information about that? Or perhaps myths and legends about why this happens or has happened to people?

Spooky encounters, they occur every now and then.

Reminds me of the time, I had awaken to a shadow figure kneeling beside my bedside. I could only make out the outline of the human body at quite a close distance. Nothing else was visible but just looked like a 3D human shadow.

The funny thing, was I never was spooked by it, but in awe at witnessing such an entity kneeling there beside me.

This was later confirmed by two other family members, who actually saw this entity in the same bedroom.

At that time after the encounter, I can assure you, my experience with this entity, gave me a glimpse of the paranormal world.

And this is how I ended up here on ATS, seeking some explanation.... Never actually thought of writing a thread about it, because it was really something out of the ordinary.

Peace

Well there you have it...i knew I wasn't stupid.....Same here...We have a dead cat running around our house...i swear that thing is always making noise and making things fall over....I've posted on this forum about it a while back but most rediculed me....Well...Now I know I'm not the only one this happens too.

Thanks for posting !
