Is this a paranormal experience or not?

Perhaps it was, but without any photograph, video etc. It is hard to tell.

However, there is something called pareidolia or matrixing which is a built in mechanism for recognising human form, it is especially prelevant at night or in low light.

Might be worth researching these two to see if that makes any correlation with your vision?

I consider it equally possible that you could have seen a ghost, or that you might have been dreaming. Lots of people report experiences like yours.

I do have other, far more personal questions that I would need to ask, as well, which would not be appropriate on an open forum. However, these aside, your experience does match up with a lot of peoples' experiences.

Just don't be afraid. If it was going to hurt you, it probably would have by now. A little recognition for the ghost probably won't hurt.

Yea I can see how you would get scared. IF you don't have much experience in the Paranormal it can creep you out. Mine did. I wanted to Ghost Hunt so bad when I was 13. TAPS inspired me. Well on my first investigation. I was taking random pics and I knew about shadows, apparitions, and orbs and all I had on me was digital camera.I was taking pics and I got this shadow like 3 feet away from me once I looked over and saw that evidence, I was like awesome I got a ghost then I thought about wait it was like it was staring me down. I started getting creeped out but I went on more investigations. And got something last week. Everybody I know is afraid of there first paranormal experience. It won't hurt you.

This may have definitely been a paranormal experience. The ghost was trying to manifest itself. It takes a lot of energy for a ghost to manifest itself, and it is very difficult for them, so they can't stay manifested for very long. This explains why you only saw a face and then slowly arms. It was trying to show itself to you by manifesting, going to visible form. It may want to communicate to you and/or tell you a message. When you went under the blankets, it could have ran out of energy or noticed that it scared you. If you think it wanted to give a message, be open to it and let it know you are aware of it and you want to help it. I have experience with the paranormal, and feel free to email me if you need any help.

I actually have had an adventure, even as i grow to be operating at motel conneaut in conneaut lake park, i discussed a ghost there the second one season i grow to be operating. i grow to be out interior the hallway amassing linens for a room and reported a cloud like human type drift previous me, i might want to scent a fragrance of plant existence and then the female regarded at me and went right into a wall. It kinda creeped me out yet together it did not. human beings had advised me about this lady who had died there in a fireplace and others have considered her ghost too, yet i continually concept they were comprehensive of you recognize what, until eventually i discussed her myself. My daughter, lately in truth, grow to be telling me about how her and some pals performed bloody mary interior the reflect on the bathing room in college. I obviously advised her that grow to be no longer actual, then she grow to be telling me about a buddy of her that were telling her about the ghosts interior the motel conneaut. Supposedly there are countless. One is a butcher down interior the kitchen of the position, I actually were down there earlier and by no potential reported something, this ghost tale revolves round knives, i do not recognize no matter if it really is actual or no longer honestly, yet i advised her that "the butcher" grow to be no longer actual, yet elizabeth grow to be, and that she will be able to't damage you so do not difficulty about it. I also advised her how i had considered her. we stay very on the fringe of motel conneaut... there has even been paranormal researchers there to examine the position out!

Just because something looks scary...doesn't mean it is. Just because something looks beautiful ..doesn't mean it is. Would it have scared you that much if it had been a beautiful woman (which might have been something evil in disguise)? It's the same with humans and animals etc. on earth. It's just a shell...doesn't mean it looks the same inside. Still...I would have been scared too. I spent lots of nights with my head under the covers.

It definately was!

I have experienced three things:

I smelled my grandmothers cooking 2am in the morning at my mom's house. Earlier, that week she was thinking about her mom and she felt something woosh through her!

I was sleeping and then I heard these voices, which partially woke me up, I couldn't tell what they were saying and I couldn't make out if they were male or female!

Recently, a voice woke me up and it said "your gonna die" 3x in my head! Pretty scary when I think about it but at the time none of the above did.

I am not sure what happened to you. I wish i could help.

Go to some ghost websites. Curezone.com has a thread under ghosts. YOu could read about people's experiences and get some links.

i think that you defiantly did have a weird experience..

maybe a relative that has passed away previously was trying to contact you. when you hid under your covers the ghost was probably worried that you would get scared and just disappeared.

go to a ghost website and email the owner of the website. sometimes you can tell them a story and they will tell you what it was, who it was, why it happened etc.

Definitely sounds paranormal. You should set up some kind of surveillence system, a camcorder or voice recorder. See if it happens again.

there cud be a probablity of both...

human eyes see much more than what they r supposed to see... sometimes they see even the ghosts and other odd things...
