Forums · Another unusual sensation...
Yep it's me again, I don't see dead people but it seems like I can feel them! ![[Laughing]](graemlins/lol.gif)
Anyway, last week my wife and I made plans to visit her friend who lives in a house believed to be haunted. I was hoping to have a quiet evening with her and maybe catch something on audio/video or in a photo. It turns out there was a small crowd over there so I doubt I caught anything, but I did have one unusual sensation I wanted to mention.
When we showed up, her sister-in-law was in the kitchen, and she told us that they had heard footsteps upstairs shortly before we arrived. She said they sounded like baby steps, like a toddler, but they weren't heavy. Of course, I was also thinking that it could have been one of her cats (she has 5), or a mouse inside the ceiling or wall. Anyway, I pulled out my Handycam and set it up to take still photos, and we went upstairs. We went into the room that most of the noises she hears comes from, and when I stepped near the far corner of the room I got goose bumps. I can't really describe the feeling, it was like a giddy excitement. For a second I thought "chill", but I didn't feel cold, but I just had goose bumps for a moment. I'm thinking there's something here, so I snapped some pictures. Afterward we went back downstairs and I took some more pictures. At the time I mentioned the goosebumps but I passed it off as getting excited ("oh boy, I'm in a room where they heard noises not long ago, woo hoo!").
A few minutes later I decide to shoot some video, so I headed back upstairs. When I re-entered the same room and walked toward the same area, I had the goosebumps sensation again, for a couple seconds. I shot video of the entire room. I went back to the corner but didn't feel anything this time around. I decided to set the video camera up on a tripod and aim it at that corner, and let it run for a while. During and after the set-up, I went in and out of the room but didn't feel anything. So I'm thinking, either I just got excited and had goosebumps on my own (twice?), or there was something there and it moved afterward.
After I ran out of video tape, I ran a minidisc audio recorder in the room for about 30 minutes. I've only reviewed the still pictures and the first few minutes of video, and didn't see anything. I haven't reviewed the tripod part of the video, or the audio yet.
So, my question is, could the goosebumps sensation have been ghost related? Usually I feel disoriented in haunted places, but I didn't feel it in that room, only in the kitchen a little bit. I'm half thinking I just got excited, and half thinking I picked up on something.
Thoughts?

Hey Kevin,
its sounds to me that it was quite possibaly a spirit. When i first startd "senceing"(sp) things i got goosbumps too, and it wasnt from being excited. But than again i can see your point of you being excited:)Twice tho?! that to me is a little starnge, so i'm really thinking (and feeling) spirits in the house that you felt. hope you get something on tho ou of what you did. Some times they flash you quick in front of a carmera or video that you have to look extra close to see them. When you ran the recorder, did you ask if anything was there or ask it any questions. Sometimes that helps, and it would really help if there wasnt alot of people there. Somethimes i think some spirits arent up for to much company. Maybe tahts why they heard the noises up stairs becuase it was trying to get away from all the people?! Good luck and keep us imformed:)

I have to agree Kevin. If had happened once, I would definitely say that it would have been from excitement more so then from a spirit being in the room. But with it happening twice, in the same spot I definitely think that it was a reaction to something being in the room with you. Especially because you had said that your wife's friend had heard some footsteps coming from that area.
She also said that it sounded like a toddler walking around right? Just a thought here, but maybe there is a childs spirit haunting your friend's home. That may explain why you've had such difficulty getting some evidence. Maybe he/she is just very shy and because you aren't a regular visitor doesn't want to make him/herself known while you're there.
Like I said, just a thought. Do let us know if you did get anything after you take a look at the rest of the video. =)

It was intriguing. I suppose it's possible that I could get excited twice on my own--first time, I got giddy when I entered the room, and had goosebumps, then the second time I got giddy again because I had the goosebumps the first time around, and had them again. But it's hard to say for sure. I'd also like to believe that it was a ghostie causing them, but until I check the video more closely I won't know. Both times, the goosebumps sensation was very brief, maybe 2-3 seconds at the most. But then the ghost could have moved out of the way. After the first two times, I didn't feel anything, even when re-entering the same part of the room.
But then, if it was a ghost, why goosebumps? Why didn't I feel disoriented this time around? Do different ghosts cause different sensations perhaps? Maybe different types of entities, or different energy levels, or on different planes of existence? I'd love to find out from someone who is psychic and has more regular contact with spirits, if goosebumps and/or disorientation have any specific correlation to anything specific about the spirit. The more I learn and experience about this stuff, the more confusing it gets!
Although I haven't had time to examine the videotape yet, I did listen to most of the audio recording I made with my minidisc recorder. There were two times in the house when it was relatively quiet, as the gang went out to the store and then to get dinner. During these quiet times, I picked up a couple of interesting sounds. The first sound was a faint screaming-like sound. Part of it sounded like a bird, and maybe it was just a bird outside squawking away. But it also sounded a bit like a child. It went on for about 40 seconds. There was a TV on in the house so it could have been that too.
The other unusual sound I picked up sounded a little bit like a child running! Once again, it could have been the TV, but someone was singing on the TV at the time, so it's unlikely that there would have been footsteps on the TV at that moment. It was very faint as well (a real child would have been a lot louder). Although there was a child there that night, she wasn't in the house at that time in the recording. It could have been whoever was watching TV making the noise too.
If we ever plan a trip over there again, we'll plan on going out for dinner, after setting up the recorder and making sure there aren't any TVs, radios, AC units, etc. turned on. The latter half of the recording was a waste, as her boyfriend came home and put country music on in his room... ewwww...![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Hey Kevin,
well i dont consider myself a psychic but i do commuicate with spirits all the time (if you have ever read my previous posts) What i can say for myself is when i feel or sence a spirit they give off differnet "vibes" so to say and of cousre every spirit i see looks different just like each one of us is different. Im am sure you know that tho:) I dont really know about the relems they come from tho most of the ones i see just hang around me as my friend (how is super spiritly intuned) says i have a coforting enegry that draws them. But to me everyone can see spirits i believe, just really open your mind to seeing them, if you feel them, talk to them, they'll come around soon enought;) I wish you the best of luck he the tape, lets us know anything knew.- Aicia

I agree also, having the same sensation more than once may very well mean you did pick up on some energy there. I think many different sensations can be experienced and although you have always refered to the dizzy sensation as being your indicator you can have others. The more in tune you become the more you will start to notice different indicators such as perhaps the goosebumps were in this case. I experience various sensations or as Alicia has mentioned vibes when I know I am not alone.
Good luck with the next trip there, let us know how that goes.

Thanks for your input. It never occurred to me that different spirits could "feel" different. Well, I thought maybe the disoriented feeling could vary from one spirit to the next, but disoriented for one and goosebumps for another? I guess that's what makes the paranormal so mysterious. =)
