What you experienced was very real, but you were in an alternate reality, different from the one we are in now.
You mean he hallucinated something that wasn't there. Ghosts and demons are just phantasms of human creation, they aren't real. It's just sleep paralysis, my sister went through the same thing. There experience is terrifying for most though, but there are no ghosts or demons.

Sometimes a house or location has a strange feel to it, and then later on you find out that something bad happened there in the past.
A couple of years ago I did quite a bit of work in a vacant house where someone had committed suicide. One of the bedrooms had different names for God written in pen on the door frame: Yahweh, Jehovah, the Lord, etc., etc. That bedroom had a weird feel to it. I hated being in there. Always felt like cold air was floating through the room. Felt like cold air would run down my back when I worked in there. I hated it. Just felt bad to be in there.
A few weeks into the project one of the neighbors told me that the previous owner had hanged himself in the house before the investor bought it. I acted like it was nothing when he said it, but in my head the dots were starting to connect. It felt like there was a dark spirit lurking in that house, reaching out for something. I couldnt wait to get the fuck out of there. I never experienced anything like that anywhere else.
Turns out that the investor made a killing selling that house. Broke all the comps for the neighborhood.

Interesting story. The cold air sensation is pretty common for ghost experiences. Its my theory that ghosts absorb heat as they travel thru the air, thus making it colder. Endothermic ghosts if u will

It's just in your head,and confirmation bias. I've been to many alleged "Haunted" places but they are all just hype and there's nothing to them but the story. The story does sell but that's all it is at the end of the day. I wish ghosts and demons were real, then I'd have someone to talk to.

But from judging your post history and level ov arrogant ignorance, a ghost could appear fully, tip his hat to you, then glide over and give you a kiss, and you would still deny their existence.

Still doesn’t change the reality that ghosts and demons don’t exist.

Based on past experiences I’m going to go out on a limb and say I don’t think all these occurrences are figments of our imagination.. for what that’s worth.

There actually isn’t energy that lives on after death and many reports doesn’t make it true it just means that it hasn’t left minds of the public. Every paranormal claim that has been tested has found there to be no ghosts but that doesn’t stop people from making them up. Skepticism isn’t exactly a virtue among the masses.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia
Essentially humans are making it up. We perceive voices and patterns where none exist. It explains a lot really.
More specifically: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
Just as TBA said it’s quite literally all in your head. A spirit box is just an intentionally damaged radio created to dupe people into thinking spirits exist by having the human brain project patterns in the “noise”.

I believe many of the occurrences are in your head. I also believe people make shit up. And I also believe that there are legit occurrences that we are not able to explain at the moment.
To say that ALL occurences are BS when you yourself are human and think you have a definate answer for this, is ignorance. I don't believe in ghost but there have been things that a room full of people have witnessed, including myself, that is unexplainable and not humanly possible.

AKA the same story people bring out whenever there is a threat to their world being disenchanted. Ghosts aren’t real, I don’t know what else I can say to convince you.

Doesn’t need to only be sleep paralysis. The technical term for the most common natural states in which the aforementioned phenomena occur during are named the hypnogogic and hypnagogic states, and although they generally occur before sleep and after sleep, they can also occur according at any time during a day due to ones psycho-psychical state matching the general parameters of the electrochemical conditions in which those states arise.
Also, there are a great many other states in which the phenomena covered in this thread can manifest - both in and for the healthy and the unhealthy human mammal animal. Things of this nature and others like it are well studied, documented, and elucidated by the following...here’s one man who has studied things of this nature most of his life, and he provides clear rational detailed accounts of the patients, as well as his own experiences with drugs, normal states which all humans experience, and various diseases, illnesses, and natural causes of much of the spectrum of relevant phenomena.
Literature covering this phenomena comprehensively, in depth, and expertly from a neurological basis is a book named: “ Hallucinations” by a Dr. Oliver Sacks.
Highly recommended. Fantastic read, and I agree when he says, the brain is the most incredible thing in the universe.

Yeah, the more I read about our brains the more fascinated and terrified I become. It’s crazy how much it’s responsible for and what it’s capable of.

My last sleep paralysis experience was a few days ago. I woke up paralyzed, not really scared because I've gotten so used to them, but when I was able to shake the energy off this person or being woke me up with "You have cancer"
