Has anyone experienced something that defies physical laws, not a ghost or UFO, but like a "glitch in reality?"

Once. Light appearing in shafts by the wall to a building. There were no lights of any natural or manmade kind around them, and they did not illuminate the area around them.

I swear, I hear my dogs doing weird things. I once heard them playing with a squeak toy when no-one was home, so I went up to play with them, and they were both sleeping, and the chew toys hadn't moved at all. I also heard my dog call me a bitch once, but that's another story.

I have not just witnessed unexplainable sights, but have also seen things move on there own. I also grew up in the antique business & own antiques, that may have added to such events in my life. My father grew up in a house that was originally the town morgue & the two houses that I have owned have both been old & have seen death. The stories from my father are numerous, mine are mostly mild & can be counted on both hands. The knowledge & personal research of my ancestors lives may also play a part, I don't know.

I have reason to believe that I am experiencing a mild haunting. I often have dreams that always wake me at exactly 2:45am. Durring one such dream, I shouted "show yourself!" as I awoke & the attic door slamed shut just after that night, again at exactly 2:45. There were no windows open in the house, no fans, no air, to cause such an event to happen naturally.

Or, you know, in places where a great many people have died, people living there tend to think about that death more than a little bit. Fredericksburg is a major Civil War tourist spot. I've been there. I wouldn't have gone if it were not for the battle. I really doubt owning old furniture causes paranormal "events." I have a number of antiques and my house is over 110 years old, and I haven't experienced any odd "events." And not to cast aspersions on your father, who is, I'm sure, a fine person, but "can be counted on two hands" only means ten or less. Not exactly a lifetime's worth.

And by the way, calling Fredericksburg "the South's Gettysburg" is not going to make you very popular around town.

So, no, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data."

I think you misunderstand what I was trying to say. My experiences can be counted on two hands. My fathers are numerous. He grew up in a house built in the very small town of Alert Indiana. That house was built in 1898 as the town morgue before it was converted into a home to live in. My pop lived there for most of his live before going to Vietnam. The stories from that place from him, his two brothers, & his (now late) sister could be made into a movie. From what they claim, something happened every night. I only remember that house a a very small child, so those stories are not my own.

As for the Gettysburg remark, that was for those not keen on the civil war, but thanks, I do take your point.

wouldn't know if you would call it a 'glitch' really. But once I went through a really really rough spot, and I had a seriously fucked up dream about my dead grandmother, and then when I woke up, I went into the sitting room and I saw her there sitting in the armchair she used to sit in.
Another time when I was younger I got into a serious argument with my parents and ran away, and I could see her following me the whole time I was gone.

I'd be worried about the 2:45 if i were you, considering 3:00 is considered the witching hour.

This one is shorter I swear!

Slovitrea based entirely on your writing style (as you've posted lots) I’d like to try my hand at a psychic reading for you…

You have a great desire for other people to like and admire you but may not always let on to that. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual appetite has presented some problems for you (perhaps more internally than with other people). Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable; meanwhile, you can be introverted, wary, reserved. Perhaps that is why you’ve thought so much about writing (I’m having a little trouble deciding which though, is it a book or a movie?) Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic but you can recognize it and use them more as a means of calibrating real life with your goals. Security is really one of your major unconscious goals in life. The number 8 seems to have some significance to you. The color purple also seems to have meaning for you. I also get the impression that there was a significant situation during your childhood involving water.

Let me know how I did.

Why is it that ghost only come out at night, specifically around the 3 am mark. Not just in movies, but from personal stories, i realize it in life as well.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still skeptical, for the reasons I mentioned. You live a place that's supposedly haunted, you're going to grow up thinking it's haunted, and every little ... something is going to be a haunting.

As I said before, pics or it never happened.
