The doc Posted January 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hi people I joined this site because of my concerns I cannot explain very bizarre scratch marks i woke with the other day . Before I describe them. .I am a senior health professional and they are not a skin complaint. .they seem deliberate and seem to be from more than one contact. Several swipes causing long stripes at various angles and different lengths.as I would expect to see caused by nail marks by someone else. I've seen similar caused by assault in my work and as I live alone with no pets and if I had slept walked or fallen the marks definitely are from not a single event due to the location and cross over positions. They are as close as can be to not quite draw blood. And to be honest I'm very freaked out so please could someone help me to understand this and resolve it happening again. I can send you pictures I took. .thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted January 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Welcome to UM, It’s most definitely something mundane, the pictures will help. You can upload them by clicking the ‘Click to choose files’ link below. Have you been to/shown the photos to a dermatologist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a chance you were doing this to yourself in your sleep? Or are some in places you couldn't reach? Does someone else live with you? Something sharp in your bed? Scratches are one commonly reported phenomena in many paranormal/haunting situations. It is very possible that is what happened in your case. I believe this phenomena does occur as I have heard multiple cases where no normal explanation would be reasonable. I have to believe scratch marks would only come from an entity with some malevolence going on. My question would be; has there been anything else out of the ordinary going on? Any suspicions you might have as to a source? Edited January 24, 2018 by papageorge1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alowe Posted January 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I'll admit I saw this post the other day but was too lazy to comment, but seeing as there's not a lot of replies have decided to help. Back in the 70s my (now late) father decided he wanted to learn the "meaning of life". So, he sat in front of a strobe light until he had a mystical experience. The strobing would cause him to lose consciousness and he'd have visions but upon waking he discovered that his body was covered in scratches. To begin with he thought he had been punished by the Gods for stealing the answer to everything. Later he realised that the strobing had put him into a fit and he'd scratched himself while thrashing about. So, this is what I think is happening to you. You're doing it to yourself. As for why, you may have a better idea than me. I suspect it's similar to a form of sleepwalking. If the scratches become more regular and predictable it might be worth buying a large memory card for about £10 (or $10), putting it in your phone and videoing yourself sleeping. I once used this method to discover how mice were entering my house. It's quite easy to scan through as for most of the video there'll be no change so if you need to scan at 5 minutes per second that's no problem. You'll discover if anything happens. If using this quick and easy, low budget solution, you may need to go into your phone's settings and set it so that it won't sleep while the USB is plugged in. You might also need to change the video app settings to use SD card memory and to only be time limited by the memory available. Sorry if you've got an iPhone - they don't allow extra memory to be added. You can maybe get around any iPhone issues by making the resolution as small as possible and moving all other media to a computer beforehand.

This can also cause seizures in people who don't have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy333 Posted January 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You may check with a dermatologist to rule out shingles. Do you live in a rural area and may have come into contact with Poison Ivy? One thing you didn't mention was if you felt a burning pain at the scratch marks. That is a lot of times associated with paranormal activity. It would not be a bad idea to seek some help with a spiritual cleansing of your home. Do you practice any way with the occult? That can open the door to malevolent spirits.
