I know that writing a post like this could cause quite a bit of havoc or unsettlement - but something happened to me last night that was honestly too freaky to not share with you all.
I was sitting on my bedroom floor upstairs, having just gotten out of the bath. The house was quiet and the clock had just struck 19h30 so it was dark out.
As I sat on the floor typing a message to someone on my phone, I heard a voice whisper my name. It wasn't close to my ear, but it was in the room. It was a male voice, not necessarily threatening, almost just wanting to let me know that it was there? It was nothing more than a gentle whisper - but it was enough to make all of the blood drain from my face and dart down the stairs so fast that I almost tripped. It petrified me.
I am not one to believe in that sort of nonesense and I have never had any sort of experience with the 'spirit world,' but many in my family have. I always thought if I carried on saying that I didn't believe in it that it would block it out... I always loved a good horror film or listening to other peoples ghostly encounters but that didn't mean that I really believed them.
I am in two minds about what I heard last night. At one end, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I heard a male voice whisper my name. On the other, I'd still like to say that I don't believe in that sort of stuff!
The weird thing is this....
My dad has a number of illnesses. He is the sort of person that, like me, doesn't believe in that sort of thing.
When we moved into the house we are in now, our dog would often just start snarling and barking and literally freaking out at nothing. She'd see something that we didn't.
Suddenly, my dad said that he saw a man in the house. A ghost.
It was when my dad weighed a shocking 49kg's and was given just a number of days to live. He said that the ghost had died of my dads disease and basically warned him to start living differently or he would die of the disease too.
I KNOW how crazy that sounds - and coming from my dad, even more so!
Yet, last night when I told them about it they could see how much it had spooked me and they did their best to calm me down. My dad mentioned that 'the man' had saved his life (in his eyes anyway...) and therefore he wasn't a 'bad' spirit.
Either which way I refused to go back upstairs - I mean, it was my first ever encounter with something like this and it literally nearly gave me a heartattack. My heart was thundering in my chest.
My mum has also both seen and heard this spirit in the house on a number of occasions - it has left me feeling extremely uncomfortable in the house.

Have you ever had an encounter with the supernatural?? What was your experience? If not - then what are your thoughts on the subject?
