Anyone else ever had what people call an "out of body experience". I used to have it quite often as a child, and at one point it got so bad that I used to hate falling asleep.

You basically feel weightless, and u can sorta see yourself sleeping, lying on the bed. At first I used to hate that feeling. I would feel weighless, and my body seemed like it was just floating around the house/hostel. I would have the sensation of bumping my head on the ceiling and in the doorways. Gradually I started training my brain for it, and I could maneuver myself around, it actually got pretty cool after a while, except for the seeing you body lying on the bed, that bit always used to spook me out.

I used to think I was a freak, but now the internet tell me that apparently there a lot of people who have these experiences.
!

I have often tried using the sleep paralysis technique to practice lucid dreaming. Its starts slow at first, you wake up if you try to change the dream too much and you get also wake up if you are afraid of waking up. Usually it lasts for only 4-5 minutes, but these days i have been able to keep it for 10 minutes at an end. Conjuring up small things once or twice even able bring up any human character i wished, but i believe it requires practice like anything else.

Is that astral projection? Some folks are able to do that..But most people find it very difficult to see their soul less body lying in front of them..

@PARIKRAMA , something similar happened to me once in Sydney, but am still not sure if it was just vivid dream or a supernatural experience. I was in second year uni, me and my friend shifted to a "new' flat. Since we were renting for the very first time, with part time jobs, and no rental history, we were only able to get a fairly old apartment. Basically an old house, with 4 flats, 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the first. Our was on the first floor. Anyways 2 days after we moved in, my flatmate drove up to the north coast of NSW to pick up his girl friend and her stuff so that she could move in with us.

I got home from the uni in the evening, had my dinner, and turned in. Maybe half an hour into sleep, I could hear a girl talk, initially I ignored it thinking it must be the neighbours or something, but then suddnely I felt someone sitting on top of me. Needless to say I was shit scared, and didn't even wanna open my eyes. Slowly the someone started to have "ahem" with me, still too scared to open my eyes. Next thing you know, I feel a pair of hands with sharp nails, trying to choke me ! At that point, I tried to open my eyes, but to my shock I couldn't! I literally had to pry my eyes open with my own hands! The moment I opened my eyes, the choking and other sensations went away, but I could still see the outline of the girl for about 30 seconds, before it finally disappeared. I almost shit myself I think, and ran downstairs got into my car and drove off. Didn't come back to the flat till my flatmate and his girlfriend were back. We lived in that flat for year and a half, I kept hearing the girls voice, so did my flatmates, but she/it never tried to kill me again!

So you almost did it. With a Ghost!

Well when we were kids we used to play "dare" and go kabaristan at night to prove our mettle... now its a bit different...

Did you do night drives? say in highways? There is a very famous saying dont give lift to beautiful women in highways.. also at crossings did u ever see a woman standing by the roadside? If you see also just ignore and move on.. But do one thing after travelling 100-200m. Do check your rear view mirror to see if she came to the back seat by any chance !!

Well **** you... I have to drive day after tomorrow at night

Talking about the occult, i had sleep paralysis once in my brothers house i was visiting for 7 days.


Woke up at 3:00 am completely paralyzed, only my eyes could move. My breathing was stiff so i could not control it. Then there stood a dark thick black figure with no face almost like the void, He was standing right in front of the night lights and the dark entity was covering it. I felt like i was being dragged into the depths of hell. The thing stood there just staring at me. Then 10 minutes later its over. The electricity in the room i was sleeping gets switched off for some reason. Electrician came and checked and found nothing wrong, but still no electricity. Never slept in that room again

The day i was leaving the house, the electricity automatically turns back on in that room. asked around and it seems 2-3 people had died there, 1 committed suicide and another construction worker who got killed.

Only once I felt like someone escaped from the chest outward and my body lifted up slightly ( Like when you give a shock to patient and the body jumps ) . The room was damn hot on that night . Might be a cause for that . DO you know ? If I fall in my dream I have a jerk in the real body . If I laugh and Cry in Dream , Sometimes I start doing that in real life at the same moment . Some times in fear ( Dream ) I try to shout but couldn't and in real life I shout with a weird voice and body is all sweaty . Once a tried shouting in dream , so i put all my force and in real world I made a sound like a Goat lol

Keep a suitably wide margin for the definition of "beautiful" in such case.

Horse shoe wards of all evil , that is what I have heard .

Again if you find genuine one according to old timers.. Normally nowadays its a biz with a horse shoe which is just worn for a day or 2 and then brutally taken out and put on sale.. some biz sellers even put it for one round only.

But old timers say such iron horse shoes which are worn for long time which saw different weather conditions, different soils and conditions meaning horse rode different places in different time of year only work..

Rest is like anything we all can have belief with and feel happy that we are protected..

Correction not any Iron...

In our side of assam, many villagers believe of mysterious creatures emanating form water bodies found all over the place and killing their livestock. Many people swear seeing such creatures in night time. Known by the local language as "Baak" . It seems only iron that works is actually the "iron nails" of the boats which had been in water bodies and by their side for long time. In other words, old iron nails. So from that old iron nails, any ring made is considered to be good as it makes you "invisible" to such creatures from the othr world..

We also have our own White Gandalf called "Bura Dangoria" - a good old men in white who is suppose to be a holy spirit. Its work is to guide people who are in distress and also fight against evil ghosts .. They ride white horses and are suppose to be guarding "Namgarh" or community hall for common place of worship ...

Apparently for the people in question (elder distant relatives of my dad) it was the iron at the bottom of the umbrella that they used to chase away some spirits that were loitering in the night time around some area they were walking through. Maybe it is old water iron like you describe.

Tamil stories about paranormal activities are also quite well described. In fact in many of the religious slokas, certain presences/phenomenon are mentioned and protection from them are asked for from the deities.

They can include other than common spirits, all kinds of ghouls, goblins, zombies, vampires, harpies on top of more powerful demons.

There are not many positive forces other than the popular protector/remover deities themselves (Murugan, Ayyapan, Ganesha) to take refuge in....and the own wit and knowledge you have yourself!

 

[PARIKRAMA]

And you believe in all that bro?
We may as well have to hammer some nails along the south block in Raisina Hill to hound the babus of MOD so that they move quickly with the procurement deals.

Well our country has fascinating beliefs.. its an interesting topic to at least know them.. but then as you grow older, with insecurities, stress and family tension we tend to believe all and everything.. Its important you know them as its just like science - knowing the unknown.. but dont believe everything.. since we need empirical evidence to prove that not merely experiencing some of the beliefs..

Its said keeping the Bhagavata Purana inside those old religious book cases ward of spirits from within the house.

Reminds me of my grandfolks place, they had horsehoes all around the house plastered into the walls.

They definitely had a pretty creepy backyard too....now the city has completely expanded into the area and that house is no longer there. I certainly miss it and them as well!

I am talking about the iron nails.

I have only seen them in horror shows . We hit them in walls , tie its end with ropes and hang the wet clothes

 

[Grevion]

Try some Nimbu-Mirchi. Desi juggad. I reckon that'll do it.

If not ....well then best of luck buddy. Try and look at their feets to see if they do have wrong sided feets. Atleast make something positive out of the situation.

Edit- If possible click a selfie with them and then post it here for us to see.

Not like these. These are specially made for horses. Black iron. And the really old rusty ones are used. Preferably one that is bent and deformed.
