For the last couple of days, I've been smelling something strange, I can't describe what it is. Frankly, I do not know. But there's no particular object around me that's producing this strange smell. All I know is that, I am experiencing this weird smell, a smell that cannot be described precisely as 'this or that,' and one that's got no object. hmm.gif

Has this ever happened to anyone? What is it, exactly?

Never happened with me, eventually i always find from where the smell is coming from tongue.gif can you compare it so something similar? i don't know, is it a sweet smell, a stinky one?

Brain tumors can cause all sorts of false sensations, including non-existent smells.

I would get your sinuses checked first, though. That sounds more likely.

Have you been eating a lot of mexican food lately? rofl.gif

Actually, try to think of something you may have been around lately that could have affected your sinuses. I know when I change the kitty litter box I can still smell the new kitty litter for at least a day.

maybe u have mold or some other crap in the walls

Are you pregnant? Pregancy in some women produces a hightened sense of smell.

I'll tell you, I've had a rotten potatoe before that stunk my entire house up-- Or, it could be a dead rat in the walls or something..

look for either one of those first.. :}

That happens to me sometimes... my sense of smell overal is quite weak, I would even say, distorted. Sometimes people around me say "argh, what a strong smell here, I can't breathe!" or, while we walk by a blossoming tree, everyone goes "aaah" and I'm just like "what are you talking about?"... sometimes, though, I smell things normally, and sometimes only some part of the smell... like... one time my mother burned pancakes or something, and I swear, it smelled like fresh mint tea. I just skip some part of the smell.

And sometimes I get these smells that are from nowhere, sometimes they are something inbetween smell and taste, sometimes they last only a second, like deja vu, sometimes a few days. I think they have nothing to do with outer world though tongue.gif , they depend more on my mood or psychological state or something like that I guess...
But I'm not sure about your case, if it's a real smell you are actually feeling, perhaps you better check your walls and under bed, you know...

Ah the internet message board. The best place to get medical advice tongue.gif

Seriously if it's bothering you that much you should see if anyone else smells anything, clean the room from top to bottom, and if it's still happening see your doctor.

Are you implying this smell is caused because she attempted to summon evil or played with a ouija ?? how do you come to that conclusion from such a short undetailed post from the OP . or is this just one of your " told you so replies" . rolleyes.gif No questions asked lets just say " haha we told you so and now you shall suffer the consequences " ...........I can almost hear you cackling around your couldron ohmy.gif



OP . i would have a good look around your home the chances are you have some mold or a piece of food somewhere /dead animal etc as others have mentioned . if you find nothing i would get sinuses checked. simple colds can cause us too smell something odd . does anything taste strange when you eat .

do you have epliepsy or any other disorder like that . some ilnesses can cause us too smell things. epilepsy produces burning smells i am told . my bofriend suffers chronic asthma and for some reason when it is really bad he can smell black pepper even though there is none in the vicinity . strange i know but very true different swtrokes for different folks i guess lol . so i would look into that. even a little damp in the home can produce musty smells . you may not have yet seen the evidence but it could be lurking somewhere .

IMO this is something non paranormal and if it continues to bother you i would see your GP . original.gif

comfirmology on narcissisticology? w00t.gif

Finity
Not a smell, but I used to randomly get a sweet taste in my mouth. Seems to have gone away now though, might have been a type of soap I was using or something. But it used to linger for ages and wouldn't wash away O_o

Sorry to sound condescending or b****y, but when someone asks for help it's always nice to help them, rather than tailing around some stupid comments by SOMEONE. . -cough Aanica cough- (Although, while I'm here I feel I must say she's an expert when it comes to narcissistology) grin2.gif

If the smell is in your mouth, my guess is an infection, if it's in your nose it's probably something rotting away in your wall or under your floorboards. If, (and I suspect this is the case being that you're posting your inquiry in this forum) you have a history of metaphysical or pyschic dealings, and the smell isn't in your nose or mouth, but on the edge of your mind, you could just be picking up on residue smells from the past. It could be a number of things, but if it persists I'd definitely go with the reccomendations of seeing a professional- doctor, fumigator or physcic.

Beta, Did this smell bring on any kind of feeling or memory to you? Sometimes some things can trigger a subconcious memory. Can anyone else smell it?

Back in 1982 my family and I were watching a movie on tv one night. I began to smell something burning. No one else in my family could smell it. I knew what it smelled like (In the 60's I spent two tours in VeitNam) it smelled like what we called "krispy kritters" (burned bodies) I knew there had to be a logical explanation for this smell. I had the whole family searching the house for something burning. We couldn't find anything burning or producing the smell and still my family couldn't smell it. I came to the conclusion that I was going nuts. So began another sleepless night. The next day I started seeking help and found a veterans counseler. Now after many years of counseling and therapy I found that certain things may trigger a repressed memory.

I hope this helps or at least give you some insight on what may be happening.

Thanks for the insightful post. I observed myself for a few days, and realized that sexual thoughts/desires precede this smell. But I still can't identify what this smell is, I can't relate it to any other smell. But suffice it to say no object is causing it, it's the thought regarding some kind of sexual desire which is causing it.

Whatever. It's a valid cause for phantom smells - tumors/brain issues are a hell of a lot more "real and out there" than demons. YOU of all people have no room to accuse ME of "trying to scare people" - you being the person that makes sure everybody knows "demons" and "ghosts" are all around us at all times, and some want to hurt us. Not exactly comforting. And where is this "child" you speak of?

He wanted possible causes, I gave him the first thing I thought of. It's a remote possibility - nothing more.

As for "stinky peepee", seeing as how sexual arousal triggers it - seems like something else to look into, grossness aside. Life isn't all flowers and cuddly bunnies, the human body can be a disgusting thing.

So I take it you are a Neurologist, or Neurosurgeon? See MOONIE< the difference between you and me is, I have had experiences with Demonics, and thank God they are gone. I was also an ER nurse and EMT for years, so I kind of give my perspective from both sides of my experiences and knowledge. An aura to a Mirgaine can be odd smells, as can seizure disorders and hundreds of other neurological disorders. This kid obviously has parents that take him to his pediatrician, so safe to say he doesnt have a brain tumor. Your comment regarding his private part, was very immature and offensive. I never thought of the body as a disgusting thing, but more beautiful and miraculous. I am sorry you look at it that way..JN

Oh, are YOU a neurosurgeon now? Regardless of whatever you dealt with (this isn't about YOU), the fact remains that it could be brain related - tumor, migraine, WHATEVER. You draw a LOT of assumptions from nothing. You seem to assume to know me and my knowledge, you know nothing about me.

I could care less what you think about my comments, and frankly I don't believe you have ever had any kind of experience with demons (I'm so sick of hearing you spout that); it seems like a play for attention to me. Even if you did, it doesn't make you the board expert.

Good day.
