I’m the same way Oz. Once another PNF member posts something it might help to trigger my recall of one of my own lesser meaningful (a.k.a, less interesting
) paranormal memories.Terrifying "paranormal" experiences that turned out to be something silly

It was summer break of grade school at the time, I was maybe 8 or 9 and was walking through the from room of our house. There was a beam of light shining through the back window and casting onto the front door. As I walked through the room I would see my shadow move across the door. Nothing strange about this as I would often do this in the morning. However something changed on this particular afternoon because as I walked past the door and watched my shadow there was a second shadow that passed right after mine. I was terrified!!
It took me about 15-20 minutes to figure it out. In the mornings, as the sun is coming up, the light shines through a back window and casts the beam of light on the front door. However, in the afternoon the sun moves to the other side of the house and shines in through the front window. The sunlight then reflects off a mirror on the wall and casts a similar looking beam on the front door. What I was experiencing that afternoon was myself actually casting two shadows, one as I walked between the window and the mirror and another when I walked between the mirror and the window.

Vibe!!! Where have you been?Given that we've all had our fair share of some significant paranormal experiences, I'm sure you must have at least one experience that initially came across as terrifying at first but after closer inspection it turned out to be something so trivial that you probably couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. I don't know if it's just me that's had moments like this but if anyone else here has I think it could be something fun to share. I have three I can think of:
Computer turning on by itself
We had a computer in the living room in 2006 and whenever we all went out and the house was empty, we would come back to find the computer was on, and we would never leave it on if no one was at home. The first time we just thought one of us forgot to switch it off, but then it happened several times after that. It was quite unsettling until we found the cause. Next to the computer was a wireless landline phone (one of those you had to press a button to answer or make a call after picking it up). Each time the phone rang, the signal somehow turned the computer on. We tested this by also pressing the answer button on the phone near the computer and it would switch on every time.
Packet moving across the table
The one night we were watching TV in the living room and there was an empty chips packet on the coffee table in front of the couch. Suddenly this packet starts to slowly move across the table by an unseen force. Myself ad my mom witnessed this and this packet had now moved halfway across the table. We had paranormal activity in the house before but nothing to this extent so we were really unnerved by this. Eventually we picked the packet up and it turns out a small beetle had crawled under the packet unnoticed by us. While it was trying to crawl its way out, it ultimately ended up pulling the packet with it making it seem that the packet was moving by itself.
Bedroom door violently rattling
This was the most terrifying experience but the cause was still less terrifying than my paranormal assumption. I was reading in bed late one night and I heard my bedroom door start rattling. I have two dogs that sleep with me and one of them, for some reason, insists on sitting against the door when she scratches her ear with her back leg. The door hinges run really smoothly so when the dog scratches herself against the door, it easily rattles and bangs against the door frame quite hard. So the door's rattling and I sit up to tell her to stop (because it's distracting) but I see both dogs are on my bed and this door is rattling rapidly and very hard. I honestly felt the blood drain from my face but then the cause revealed itself. It wasn't so much a paranormal entity rattling the door, but rather a sudden earthquake that then rattled the rest of the house for about 3 seconds, after which I heard my mom yell from her room, "Did you feel that?!". Quite frankly I would rather have the earthquake than an entity that likes to bang my door like an angry landlord after outstanding rent.
Anyone else have experiences like this that they would like to share?
I thought I was seeing some type of UFO this past summer. I was out late feeding the animals about was dark. I saw a bright light floating across the sky. I was amazed to watch it. Pretty soon another and then another came floating over. I then realized they were some type of lantern.

All I can say 2019 was not my year and have just been so preoccupied with illnesses (tick bite fever, tonsillitis and then chicken pox), wedding arrangements, absolute chaos at work that I'm sure was sending me into a mild depression (never got it formally checked out though) but feeling a lot better after resigning. But yea, it's good to be back
Oh I’m sorry to hear this. Next time you go through something let us know so we can pray for you. I hope this next year will be a full turn around for you.All I can say 2019 was not my year and have just been so preoccupied with illnesses (tick bite fever, tonsillitis and then chicken pox), wedding arrangements, absolute chaos at work that I'm sure was sending me into a mild depression (never got it formally checked out though) but feeling a lot better after resigning.
