My wife and I were watching Indiana Jones on cable (who wasn't???) and she says "What?" I didn't think she was talking to me. "What?" again. "What?" I said back. "You touched me to get my attention, now what?"

"I didn't touch you, I don't know what you mean."

"You didn't just touch me on the side?"

"No." At this point I was a bit confused, but let it go. She let it go, too.

A little bit later I was lying on my right side (important), arm under my head. I get a swift felt like an open handed shove on my right shoulder. Like a heavy short-throw slap (later I realised it had to come from under the bed, not from her).

"OW!" Yeah, I was a bit loud, I though she had just hit me in bed!

"What?"

"You hit me, why??"

"Nathan, I didn't hit you, and I didn't move from this position you see me in." I had sat up a bit. I thought of the half-asleep visions I had been having since I laid down. Scary, gross things just popping into my head. I had been in a bad mood for a while (current situation and all), so I thought I was just moping.

I figure that something was putting these images there. At this point I do what many psychics say to do, cover yourself and everything around you in white light (alien abductees say this too, odd). I fell asleep and stayed asleep until this morning.

My stepson also has said things about being touched in the night in different ways (nothing sexual, he just dismissed them, so did I. He called them night terrors, and I can see why. Those images in my head were not of anything pleasant (Bin Laden's real video of a beheading starting them off, getting more twisted after that).

I figure the one thing that really saved me was that I was not scared of anything the whole time. You have to really get to know me, but this isn't the first thing that has happened like this. Just the first time I have ever been hit by something.

Just another entry into the pages of The Allan Family :D

Indeed good post, thank you for your story!

Interesting story...how long has this been going on at your house? Is there a history of funky things going on there like this?

Well, this is one is not about ghosts, but it deals with Aliens and UFOs. As my first post on this thread, I'd like to share my views on a couple of questions that constantly arrise when dealing with UFOs and disclosure (not that I personally have made my mind about them yet ;)).

The Usual Skeptical Questions: Aliens/UFOs
1. Why is it they tend to “cater” to white trash America, hicks and faraway farmlands?
a. No matter how much technology they have, targeting a big city for a fourth kind encounter seems reckless. What makes a city person any more important than a farmer to an alien? Nothing! We are all the same sort of human in their eyes. If they’re smart enough to travel between worlds, they should be smart enough to have a sense of caution. Adding to this, it's safe to say in 2010 globalized Earth that the U.S. is not the only country where UFOs are sighted, or the one with the most sightings or even the one with the most internalized UFO popularity.

2. Why would the government(s) try to hide the truth/prevent disclosure? Or better yet, how could they possibly hide such a giant truth from the world at large (especially now, in a camera-happy, 21st century globalized society)? Adding to that, why is that we, the UFO-happy community, attribute the armed forces part of governments as the primary source for UFO knowledge?
a. A disaster such as a hurricane, a volcano, 911 or a tsunami will hit hundreds, thousands, millions at once. News coverage of this becomes an ever presence for weeks, months, even years. On the other hand, sporadic events of happenstance like an individual loosing an arm in a car crash, someone acquiring HIV, or someone winning the lottery remains a private matter. Even after news coverage of a car crash, Magic Johnson acquiring HIV or that of a lottery winner, the world at large moves on. Even though the number of affected individuals is by far larger through these sporadic events, it becomes exponentially more difficult to raise awareness of teens driving while texting (which kills thousands every year) over the 911 attack on the twin towers (which killed thousands only one year).

b. Looking at it from a different perspective, if one were to ask, who amongst those you personally know has recently lost an arm to a car crash, acquired HIV or won the lottery, more often than not the answer would be “no one.” The reason is that these matters occur sporadically, remain private, cater to personal emotions and are seldom discussed at large. Even though, every year, there are millions of people affected (and even dying) by HIV, hundreds more winning the lottery and thousands more being maimed by automobile accidents than those who died in the September 11 attack (a singular event), you’d be lucky if you hear news of these events with the same intensity of coverage as the singular disaster events that affect thousands only once. However, if you happen to be the power ball girl, are a general practitioner at a hospital or work for the department of motor vehicles; then the personalized knowledge of individuals winning the lottery, or acquiring HIV or loosing an arm to a car crash becomes an ever, numerous prensence and even, part of your daily routine. Such is the same if you happen to deal with jet fighter pilots on a daily basis, or are yourself a jet fighter pilot with routine daily flights. Aliens may walk, but UFOs fly. If your job is that of an air force commander who must know what objects are flying above the area of interest at all times, or even that of the jet fighter pilot who is actually flying in the area of interest, then no one is more skilled than you to notice if something is occurring outside the norm. It’s your daily routine as an armed forces commander or pilot. If someone in the city can film a UFO from miles away, as an armed forces commander or pilot, you should technically have exponentially more access and, thus, insight to a likely event.

That seems like a typical dilema, if UFO's do exists.

Oh shit, I was just waiting for a YouTube song to finish loading and start playing, then I thought I heard all this weird quiet noise with deep demonic-like voices, and I thought it was the beginning of the song. Then I saw that the song never started playing, so these noises were "just in my head." Then I reloaded the whole web page, just to make sure, and sure enough, the beginning of the song sounds nothing like that anyways. lol Don't worry, it must have been my imagination making up sounds for the white noise of my PC & space heater running. Or it must have been the wind blowing thru the bare tree branches outside; and I swear I just heard another vague voice again. lol :shock:

Why ? All I see is a possibly human tooth that is pretty old.

I was led to believe 80,000 years ago the first humans migrated around the earth from africa. All these years of believing a lie. This is paranormal to me as the scientific fact is contradicted from this news story.

I fail to see how a tooth contradicts this theory. If anything it kinda confirms it seeing as the Middle East is where Africa meets the rest of the world (and where modern humans met with previous humanoid populations - i.e. the Neanderthal).

And there is zero difference with 400,000 years to 80,000 years? That seems to me a mathematic impossibility. Also, if Israel and Africa is the same location? A geological impossibility. At first I thought it was a stretch bringing this story to the paranormal thread but now I see it is the perfect place for it.

from the article:
The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half that old, and were discovered in Ethiopia.

from my previous post:
[Israel] is where Africa meets the rest of the world (and where modern humans met with previous humanoid populations - i.e. the Neanderthal).


And if you read the article again:
"Researchers say [human] teeth go back 400,000 years; others say claim is premature"
"Archaeologist Avi Gopher said on Monday that further research is needed to solidify the claim"
"Sir Paul Mellars, a prehistory expert at Cambridge University, said that the find is "important," but that it was premature to say the remains are from modern humans. He said the teeth are more likely from ancient relatives of Homo sapiens, such as the Neanderthals or their ancestors, which are thought to have left Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago."

I say that even if this tooth turns out to be that of a modern human, it would not automatically contradict previous theories as such. It may however disprove previous timelines.

Ha nobody commented on me getting spooked by my cousin's noisy-ass house the other night.




Here's a weird article on MSNBC's Cosmic Log:

Alien invaders vs. the truth squad

http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news...he-truth-squad


The UFO gets explained away as a camera glitch, but it sure does look like an object, doesn't it??? A crumpled-up piece of blue construction paper. :D

UFO video recorded by a news reporter. Really crazy: looks like a meteor that splits apart, then the pieces form "orbs" and hover, make geometric formations, then they all vanish. Also that sighting gets compared to the "UFO fleet" recorded over NYC a couple months ago.



Ohhhhhhhhh

They were simply stunt planes, plus people parachuting with flares...

To anybody who thinks ghosts and the paranormal exist i have this to say, to believe in ghosts and the paranormal you must believe in a soul so you must believe in god and heaven and hell, think about it do you? I certainly don't strange things have happened to me which i thought must be paranormal but on reflection i was just very tired or stressed or not feeling well and it was all in my head.
