You're even more susceptible to "paranormal" happenings if you have a history of night terrors and hallucinations like me.
We can talk about this subject *all day long*, and apologies for anyone reading, this is probably going to be the longest post I've written thus far.
Night terrors are interesting for me on a variety of levels, the studies of them, the actual happenings of them. I received a night terror that I'll never forget sometime in my gradeschool years, closer to junior year, whereby I woke up (body frozen, eyes closed) and heard laughter in my head. It was the most menacing thing; the laughter was deafening, and I knew, I just knew, the laughter was pointed at me. Suddenly my eyes opened, body still frozen, and I raised upwards to a sitting position within the bed. I looked out in front of me, seeing a black smoke that resembled some sort of gasoline or kerosine burning on a fire; the blurred, blackened image before me was a face in smoke. It closely resembled a human face, but the face was the source of the laughter. My eyes, I could feel they looked at this in horror; I was terrified. I suddenly found myself laying back down, stricken by what I'd seen and still unable to move consciously, the laughter in my head refusing to let me go. Eventually, my eyes closed, the laughter faded away, and I told myself to wake up. I forced myself awake, literally clenching my left fist with as much might as I could to fight my body awake. I was aware what happened towards the end of it, but I could not shake being mentally awake and being unable to move.
I caught my breath and finally woke, painstaking as it was. I will never forget that experience.
There are also other moments since we're talking about ghost stories and paranormal experiences. I've had any number of these, predominantly at a place located in and around Vanleer (a location in TN). Understand Vanleer is a rural town; covered will hills and rolling, small valleys, the city slicker would have no place in a town such as this. When I was younger, my grandmother lived two miles away from the nearest person; you could only reach her home from a dirt/gravel roadway. You crossed two or three creeks, and when I say you 'crossed two or three creeks', I mean you drove through them; no bridges. If a substantial rain came, you could be stuck in her home for upwards of a week depending on the severity of the downpour. She lived in the boonies.
But the experiences came when the sound of someone walking on the porch outside began. The porch/deck/whatever you'd like to call it, surrounded her mobile home almost entirely; it was quite a nice place considering how far away she lived from everything. Her husband worked often in Texas, therefore he'd be out of town from time to time. The 'sound' of something walking, step by step, would occur most often late at night, whereby the something (person?) would walk to her door (front or back), open the storm door depending on the door, jiggle the handle of the primary door, and then you'd never hear it walk away.
My grandfather was there one night it happened. He waited for it to walk to the door and jiggle the handle. As soon as he heard it, he grabbed his shotgun, opened the door in a rush, and threatened the noise. It didn't stop.
I was there and witnessed this in person once, waking up just in time to see the weirdness. There was a light that emitted through the windows, a green light, as the entity walked past a bedroom window on the porch surrounding the home. The handle of the door jiggled, my grandmother even woke thinking it was my grandfather coming back from one of his trips as he was scheduled to do at some point in that 24 hour period.
My grandmother thought it'd be a wise idea to purchase an oujia board, and to this day I have no idea why. Say what you want about these things, I've seen enough (and
felt enough) to be thoroughly creeped out by them. Child's play for some, reality for others. The experiences for everyone are quite different, and I cannot shake the feeling of the reality I've seen no matter how hard I try. We learned, through the board, there was a grave so many yards away. And there was. We also learned there was a name to the spirit. We also learned the reasoning: a man was coming back home to his cheating wife (the weirdness of which had occurred sometime back in the early 1900s.) Was this place even owned in the early 1900s? It was, if you're asking. Despite it being miles away from the nearest person, there was an old home here on the property, and less than five years to this oujia happening, the home was torn down for fear of it collapsing. It was so old (and gutted), the wood was decaying; a deep gray resembling a dismantled barn.
I've typed way too much, but like I said, this subject interests me greatly. Keep sharing the stories.

I'm curiously reading through them.
