dont worry. you're perfectly normal. its just part of being a teenager. at puberty age when youre body changes and u start growing mature, your mind also changes. it will become noticably more sensitive and the slightest noise could make you jump when you are all alone in a room. your imagination also works over time when you are a teen because you are at the brink of adulthood. so basically its your imagination causing these things

Teens have overactive imaginations as well as adults.  Any one at any age can have an overactive imagination.  Just because you age out of childhood does not mean you out grow imaginiation.

what odd answers to obvious paranormal phenomena

just curious...are there any believers on this forum anymore?  gee, 'over active imaginations' do not usually throw things off shelves, but i could be wrong..

ridiculous responses for the most part, sorry to say.  the op obviously had some sort of paranormal activity; i have no idea why or but, if she is telling the truth, and she seems to be, then i would gather that something was in that apartment with her

oh and to the poster that said that 'negativity attracts' these things, please do some more research okay?  that is simply not true; in fact it is usually the opposite, in that someone who is very 'bright' shall we say, will attract things...

[coldethyl]

There is no such thing as obvious paranormal activity.

I was responding to someone who said that teens could not have overactive imaginations.  That is a ridiculous claim.  Anyone can, no matter what their age.

If you were a witness, then please say so, if not then you cannot be positive either.

I'm not sure how to prove that any of it was real, or how to prove it was an over active imagination. I mean, it sure didn't feel like it at the time but I'm open to the possibility that it was just me. Creepy things still sort of happen around me but never to the extent that it was at my old place (being touched, etc).

Defining it to mean imagination is meaningless. The point is not whether we all have imagination. Obviously we all do. The point is when do we confuse imagination with reality. I certainly don't do this and no one I know does.

As a Christian my answers regarding the paranormal are always the same. Avoid any interaction with anything you believe may be paranormal. Don't provoke and don't speak to it. I pray frequently and in the name of Jesus Christ

If someone thinks it may be their imagination, and it may be, then they should tell someone who loves them and seek their counsel. Someone close to the situation knows better than someone on the Internet.

The OP stated it could have been imagination.

Then you don't know many people.  People confuse imagination with reality all the time ie seeing something out of the corner of their eye and for a split second thinking it was something other than what it actually was.

I am going to go with over active imagination, and your friends getting filled with stories, so they had it also...

I think most of us did in our teens.

I certainly didn't and most of those that I grew up with and the few I know now (family and what have you) aren't like that.

Sounds to me like you're trying to come up with an excuse for a story rather than taking it as is.  I don't really understand the people that sit and get their jollies polished by trying to disprove something that someone has experienced. It makes you come off as ignorant.  You weren't there and didn't experience any of it, yet run in here with your pompous attitude and immediately try to think of an answer. You must be on to something! Or you're just a bigot who wants to sound more intelligent than you are.

Or maybe something happened. Just trying to find an answer for everything when you weren't even there.

And I know a lot more people who DON'T confuse imagination with reality. One is make believe the other is factual. I think most people, even teens, are capable of having a grasp on what is real and what is not.

You act as if you were there just as much as anyone else.

Not at all. I'm doing the complete opposite in saying "Its possible, how would any of us know".

Not quite sure what you're talking about.

You say dont talk to it and avoid interaction, yet you pray to jesus?....Double standards there I think!

My imagination is overactive all the time, even at my age.(specially here in Thailand ) Life is no fun otherwise lol.
However, what I experienced in my old apartment was certainly not imagination as I had the proof of the missing clock and the plumbing bolt as evidence!

Nice retort, but he/she didn't do anything that you implied.

By the way, I feel as though this is of utmost importance, but is that you in your avatar picture? *snip*
