Hello again everybody, here I have another fun and exciting topic of discussion: the paranormal! I'd like to hear your thoughts and experiences regarding the subject. Do you believe in things such as ghosts, angels, demons, and aliens? Have you or anyone you know experienced something strange? Please share here, but be respectful. =)

I'll go first. 

I'm undecided, and currently agnostic. I've had a lot of strange things happen to me and to people I know, but I worry that my mind may be playing tricks on me because I want to believe. For right now, I'm leaning on the "maybe" side. I'm still looking for hard, undeniable proof to confirm or deny the existence of god(s), angels demons, aliens, cryptids, or what have you.

Okay, on to my experiences.

When I was around 13 I moved into my father's house (parents divorced). The house was unfinished so we lived in the basement. At night, when all the lights and electronics were shut of, it was near pitch black and absolutely quiet, but that didn't bother me. It was the best sleep I ever had in my life. But some nights...I would get a feeling that I was being watched. I often had sleep paralysis. And I started having a lot of extremely vivid and terrifying dreams, and I used to have a journal before my laptop crashed and it got corrupted.. oh well.

Anyway, I've had plenty of ghost and demon dreams. But these two have still stuck with me and are ingrained in my memory to this day: 
[hider=Demon Child]I had a brown jacket I loved and wore every day, and would put it on my computer chair every night before bed. One night I dreamed that I woke up and saw this naked child. He was pale of skin, with blond curly hair, almost cherubic. But he also had red eyes and sharp teeth. He looked evil, possibly possessed. 
He crept near my chair and it looked like he took something in his hands, though it was too hard to see. He spoke, but I don't know what he said. He quickly scurried away into the darkness. 
In the morning when I woke up for real I couldn't find my jacket anywhere, I looked and looked, but still couldn't find it. The next night before I went to sleep, I prayed (I was deeply religious at the time due to my grandparent's influence) that he would make the "little devil" would give it back. I didn't dream that night, but in the morning I found my jacket lying on the floor next to my desk chair.[/hider][hider=Three-Part Alien Dream][b]Part 1:[/b] The dream starts with me sleeping in bed and I hear a knock on the upstairs back door. I get out of bed and head up into the unfinished first floor of the house, and see couple of silhouettes through the window in the backdoor. When I get closer, I see that they are two blue looking aliens, with big black oval eyes. They speak to me telepathically, [i]May we come in?[/i] I simply shake my head, too afraid to answer, then walk away and go back to bed.
[b]Part 2 (probably a few months later, real-time):[/b] Again, the dream begins with me sleeping in bed. The basement door and bulkhead are both open (which my dad often does during late spring to early fall). Sleep paralysis kicks in, and I'm just laying there on my back with my eyes open, stiff as a log. Three small, greenish-grey aliens with huge hands and eyes come marching down the stairs and a small block unfolds into a stretcher. They put me on the stretcher, and work on me with tools that don't even seem to cut my body on the outside. Sometime later, they put me back in bed, and the dream fades to black. 
[b]Part 3 (several weeks or months later in real-time):[/b] The dream begins with me trying to fall asleep at night, with the basement door wide open and moonlight shining in. The sleep paralysis is back and I can barely move my eyes around, but that's it. I get the feeling I'm being watched so I try to look toward the basement stairs, and I see what looks like a tall and lanky steel-blue alien with big black eyes and six fingers. It is holding a black box, which appears to be open, but I can't see what's inside. It closes the box and goes back up the stairs out of sight.[/hider]
Now, a few real-life experiences. 
[hider=Are you still reading these?]
I have seen on a few occasions, classic UFO-shaped aircraft with no lights and no trails and no sound. Once, I saw a trio of them flying in formation. All sightings happened during the day. (I honestly don't hang around outside that much at night, so who knows what I might have missed seeing.)

While video chatting at night with someone the first day at a place my dad was renting (while work was being done on his unfinished house), I got the chills and a feeling of "ghost dread" as I call it. My chat partner said he saw me become completely engulfed in a black shadow. For a few seconds. I moved into a different room the next day.

On another occasion, two of my friends were chatting while I was sleeping in my dorm at college. They see a weird orb appear and hover over me on the screen, and then it darts out the window. 

And lastly, and ongoing phenomenon. For years my boyfriend has dreamed about what he calls "Evil Panda," some kind of doppelganger or succubus or demon creature that keeps trying to seduce him or drag him under the bed or into dark voids. He says it looks like me, but has an evil smile and can contort its body, and is superhumanly powerful.

That's not all, but I don't want to share my whole weird life story. I want to hear about yours!
