Hello,
Just wondering wat people thought...
Over the past few months i have felt like something/someone has been touching me, not violently, just like they are poking me or tugging on my clothes very gently, or as if i have been leaning on something.
Could this just be slight muscle spams/blood flow; i can sometimes feel my blood flowing / almost gently curdling (<<can't describe this very well, its not as strong as it sounds)
Sorry for the poor description, i will try and answer any questions
Its not as sevre as it may sound, but it definatly feels like something has brushed passed me or poked me, but this happens everywhere, not just in the house. I have often looked thinking i have been touching the something, yet i have been sevral paces away from any object

Ideas?

Well 1st question I have.. does this sensation happen in the same spot all the time or in the same area of your body?

No not at all. It has been the back, the arm, leg, most places.

If you meen location wise, it is not in one place of the house, i has happened when i have been out.

Well I have to say that skin or muscle disorder sounds to be out of the picture..

Does anyone or anything come to mind during the episodes.. if you do not recall.. next time.. try to remember what you where thinking at the time.. everything and all thoughts.. and report back...

Not sure if you can sense anything without realizing it.. but just a thought.

As far as i can remember nothing particular happens during these 'episodes' as they happen spontaneously. The last few i can rememeber is when i was in the shower if felt like someone poked me in the back, and when i was just standing it felt like something had tugged on my trousers. It also happens when i'm walking but i just tend to ignore it now. Nothing particulary triggers it like a thought, otherwise i would remember the coincedense. If it happens i will try and remember wat i was thinking of.

The only rational explination is very slight muscle spasm.

The only thing i have heard of is guardian angels, apparently you can sometimes feel their wings. However i just wondered if anyone had another idea as this seems unlikely.

I am very open minded to any suggestions.

You're being visited by Spirits, and I'm not kidding. Probably somebody either deceased or your guardian(s). I could write a huge post on all the times I've experienced similar stuff but it's just easier to get right to the point. In my Native culture, elders talk about these events all the time.

Don't fear it. It doesn't come from "the Devil", and "Jesus" isn't going to hate you. It's natural. If you died and left loved ones behind, wouldn't you try to get in contact with them - especially if they were dealing with something that required your presence?

Pay attention to your dreams, keep a journal for the first few times it happens, and be especially on the lookout if you start experiencing "voices" - good ones, not the delusional kind. You're probably on the verge of a spiritual growth spurt.

Or I could be wrong and you need to wear a strait jacket.

Hi Adam, I wouldn't worry unnecessarily. If something untoward was going to happen it would have by now. Personally I'd go with the muscle spasm theory. I often get a similar feeling, normally in my legs just above my knees or ankles and usually in the evenings or at night. If you're quick and uncover the spot you'll see the skin jumping. I'm not saying it definitely can't be paranormal, just that muscle spasms do seem to be a very likely explanation. And as I said before, if it was anything unfriendly you'd have known by now The dream diary suggestion is a good one. I don't write every single dream down, I just make notes of the ones that stick in my mind for a while after I've woken as they seem to be the ones my subconcious is telling me to look at.

Adam, I think it's muscle spams/twitches, too. Stress and anxiety can make them worse.

Bananas and Gatorade both have potassium in them and are good for muscle twitches or spasms.

Yes I vote eat more bananas too.


This post brought to you by the Eat More Bananas Council.

I guess I should of been a lil more clear... when this happens again.. try to remember everything/everyone that pops into your mind.. I would say the thought your are looking to focus on if you get it.. is just as the sensation starts... this will be before your conscious mind attempts to understand what's going on and overshadows your open mind (some refer to this as your subconscious mind or core instinct)

if it's a person or persons... you may be able to associate your thoughts with people you've known in the past..

Thanks, i'm not worried and i don't need to be put in a straight jacket just yet (i hope).

I have sometimes seen my muscles spasming and seen the skin twitching as you say. I have a banana every day and have done for a while (several months). (Where would it be possible to join this council of banana eating?)

My most recent occurence was lastnight. I was laying in bed thinking of levitation (i am interested in telekenekis, tk) and it felt like someone had poked me in the thigh rather firmly. I wasnt thinking of anyone imparticular, just self-levitation in general.

As of yet i have not heard voices, but very suttle noises around me that can be explained easily. However i have thought i have heard my name being spoken, and i have replied, sure that someone has asked for me (more when i am on my own) and had no reply, or have asked if ppl have called me and they say they havent.

I am just confused to what it could be as it seems to be both, spasms and the spiritual theorys.

The main thing is to stay calm and observant and try to enjoy any unusual experiences

Well hopefully you will eventually get more infromation as to who or what is touching you.. keep us posted

All you have to do to join the council is send Coldethyl and I $999.99 every month for the rest of your life.

And, eat bananas.

It's that easy!

Check is in the mail... be patient as due to the holidays it may be delayed...

Amen!! I wouldn't worry so much about the banana part.....

can i join the eat banana council? I don't have $999.99 to send every month, but i've got a piece of used gum, an old beer cap, and a crumped piece of paper, will that pass?

Being touched by spirit is good (I've been touched by 3)

First one was a sharp shove on my left elbow when I was stood at the bar of the hotel our paranormal group meets at, I looked behind me & all that was there was a stool facing outwards (There were no arms on the stool so I didn't knock them on an arm), I didn't knock it against the bar counter as it was a different height to my elbow & nobody was stood behind me. I put my drink down on the bar counter & felt over the seat cushion & got a strong tingling up my finger (A sign that there's a spirit there), changed hands to feel with the other hand but the tingling had gone! Where I was stood, I would've been stood on someones foot had they been sat on the stool, this was their way of telling me to get off!

Second time was on an investigation at a haunted pub, there were 3 of us in a group in one of the bedrooms & we communicated with a man named Ben & asked him to give us a sign that he was in the room.
There were 2 beds & 2 of the group were sat on a bed each, I was sat on the floor with my back up against the wall holding a torch in my hand. In the torch beam you could see the dust particles moving away from me, when the girl that was sat on the bed in front of me asked for a sign, the dust particles stopped in mid flow & from going away from me, turned & started heading to my right hand side, a second or 2 later I felt something tickle the top of my right ear twice.

The third time was on an investigation at another pub & we were stood upstairs in their living quarters & as we were stood around I felt a small dog stand on my foot & then put its front paws on my trouser leg & the material move! I asked if a small dog or cat had been seen & the owner confirmed that a small dog had been seen in the kitchen area which is where we were stood

I get these sensations sometimes too.....and only when I wake up with a butt in my face do I remember that I left my bedroom door open and my cat with her fluffy, and ever so tricky tail has snuck in to bother me.

Wow, i just got an experience just like that. In my arse, I guess someone poked me there

Hello agian, keeping you updated..

The last incident was just now, it felt like somebody placed their hand on my hip/pushed it. I was reading a topic on this site This one and eating a sandwich: wholemeal bread with seedless Rasberry jam. It might be important . There is no one else in the house either so ....

Just keeping you posted

Can you see patchs of the air when it happens, that look slightly out of focus with the rest of the air?

Not that i have noticed.

Well, not everyone can see them.

Hi Adam

Well, I've heard that people who have passed on sometimes come back in spirit form, and try to communicate. Some of them will touch you, some will turn on and off electrical appliances, some will leave coins, while others with leave scents such as rose or pipe smoke. So it could be that a loved one who passed away is with you.

Happy New Year.

Do you suffer from RLS? (Restless Leg Syndrome) My sister has it and she says that sometimes it feels like someone/something is touching her. Apparently the symptoms can occur during the day as well as night time and not just in the legs. Just a thought.
