Did OP die?

@Vengeance6661 but did you die?

Fear not, for I am still alive. Nothing else has happened since the haunted tablet turned itself on.

But right now I am watching Friday the 13th, so who knows what the rest of the night has in store.

Ch ch ch Ah ah ah.

All ya gotta do is prove it. But you can't.  And for all the stories, there's never any irrefutably definitive proof or photographic evidence.  How do you explain that people who don't believe in the paranormal are never the ones to experience paranormal things?  Seems like it would be the modern equivalent of Saul getting knocked off his ass.

Here's the real answer:  Because paranormal bullshit is the rationalized product of defective thinking that can't tell the difference between something they don't understand and ghosts. It's called critical thinking. Try it out sometime.

Have a seance and see if you can conjure him up.

Glad you made it!

I like that there are so many genuine Christians on this board.
Good to see my brothers in Christ in action.
God Bless!

I guarantee you take some true skeptics not a damn think will happen.

I consider myself both an educated and spiritual man.  Sometimes, I have difficulty reconciling the two.  I'm also a religious man-- a Christian.

I don't believe in "ghosts" in the classical sense of the term.  I do believe in demons, fallen angels... whatever. My lack of belief in ghosts stems from my view that any souls will have transitioned to their afterlife and not be anchored here.  I really don't buy into the notion that a soul can either through choice or accident remain.  I think what is interpreted as ghosts are other forms of spirits, or just imagination.

That said, I have had exactly two "paranormal" experiences in my life of which I am absolutely certain. Both, I know were not so much "paranormal" as they were religious, yet I guess it still falls within the same umbrella.

The first was when I heard a voice instructing me on a course of action that I had originally been against.  The voice wasn't in my head. It was in a location-- behind my left side. It had a discernible tone and dialect, and not one that my subconscious mind would have constructed.  And it occurred in a room where I was alone and on speaker phone with my father-in-law.  That voice told me that it was my path to adopt my son whom would at the time be born in 3 months. Through our fertility issues, I had been against considering adopting, and my father in law called me to inform me that he knew of a person looking a family to adopt a child.  I found myself repeating the words of the voice to my father in law without my consciously willing myself to talk-- like I was watching myself in a movie.

The second is also tied to my son.  I live in a family home built by my great-grandfather by his own hand.  Interestingly enough, both he and my great-grandmother died in this house, and both had their funerals in the living room of the house.  My great-grandfather had expressed his desire that no one other than a _____ (last name) ever lived in this house.  I was laying in bed in the master bedroom with my son asleep next to me and my wife on the other side of the bed reading a book.  I was wondering what he (great grandfather) would think of my son being the legacy of our family (only son and adopted-- not his blood.)

While I was thinking about this, I saw a dark shape walk out of the living room and into the hall that connects the bedrooms.  The shape moved away from us and into the room we set up for my son.  It is relevant that the room that we set up for my son was my great-grandfather's bedroom when he was alive.  I looked at my wife and asked her if she saw what I saw or was I imagining things. She couldn't speak. She just shook her head and had a look of fear on her face.

I got up and walked up the hall. I'll be damned if I know what a 1911 could do in this instance, but I had one with me.  I walked into my son's bedroom and there was nothing there.  However, I instantly got a feeling of peace and warmth fall over me, and I found myself smiling.

The question that I had been thinking about that night was one that I had thought about in the past more than once.  It is my belief that God allowed my ancestor to give me an answer to that question. I felt that there was acceptance, approval, or whatever.

My house is not haunted.  That was the one and only time that I have experienced anything like that before or since.   I believe that both of those experiences were not "ghost" stories, but rather a religious experience.  God used different tools to give me either guidance or answers that I needed.

I do believe that I saw my great-grandfather's spirit, but I believe that the experience was a one-time message when it was needed.

I went back into the room and told my wife all of this, and she admitted that when I went into the room her fear melted away and she felt a calm.  

Take what you want from this.  Some here will think I am nuts, and that is OK.  I've nothing to prove to anyone, and what is thought of me won't change any of our lives.  I've got nothing to gain or lose from sharing this.  I certainly don't share it among those that know me in my community.

Well if you are watching that stupid movie, then I can tell you the rest of your night has that idiotically annoying "TCH TCH TCH...tch tch tch!" sound effect in store.

Been getting that a lot myself, that time of year when the acorns start falling.  The make a surprising amount of noise on certain parts of the roof.  It’s like living in some weird oak tree bukakke movie.

You may have over look that an entity may have attached on him and now is in the home.

You invited Satan in.

Good luck,

never had a 'paranormal event'

however, every time I failed to listen to my intuition, I got in trouble.

Don't take this higher paying job - it won't last.

don't marry this girl, even though objectively there was nothing wrong - on the surface.

Don't move here. Don't rent this house.

In all of the above, there was no logical reason why it was so, yet when I didn't listen, things went south.

I think people have intuition. And it manifests itself in various ways.

Not coincidental op.
Toss in shower and turn on cold water to trap the demon inside

You're thinking about it wrong.  You are assuming that it is neutral phenomena--it isn't.  It (revelation of larger reality) is used as a tactic by spiritual entities with agency and intellect and will.  Satan doesn't show himself to atheists, because he already has them exactly where he wants them--for them to believe that the spiritual realm does not exist is a win for him.
