My friend made this Binaural Beats app to assist with Astral Projection, NHI contact and altered states of consciousness. It's takes aspects of the Gateway Experience and CE5 to create a much more focused experience.

I've been using it as a tester for a month now and I really love the simplicity, but most importantly the Journeys are really amazing. They move between brain states and allow for deeper, more fluid experiences. It also includes a dream journal which is helpful to have inside the app.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I do. Save travels!

I’m not here today to tell someone else’s story. I want to share something I personally experienced at a temple I visited recently.

Some of you may think my stories are BS, and maybe you’ll think this one is too. That’s okay. I’m only sharing what I personally saw and experienced. You can search for the temple yourself and decide what you think is real and what isn’t.

First, a little about me. I’m from India, I’m 17 years old, and my name is Ayush. Most of the stories I post are from India. I’ve been interested in paranormal stories and ghosts since I was a child. English is my second language, so sometimes I use AI or a translator to help me write my stories.

Recently, I visited Mehandipur Balaji Temple in Rajasthan. It is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and it is widely known for people visiting the temple seeking relief from what they believe are paranormal or spiritual problems.

While I was there, I saw some things I had never experienced before.

There was a very long line inside the temple, and some people were crying, screaming, or behaving in ways that seemed very unusual. Some had their hair loose, some were restrained, and I saw people lying on the ground. I even saw a few people in strange positions, including some whose legs were raised while their heads were closer to the ground.

The temple also has certain rules for visitors. For example, visitors are not supposed to take certain offerings or food back home, alcohol is prohibited, and there are restrictions regarding consuming food or offerings given by other people. I honestly don't know the exact reasons behind all of these rules.

The atmosphere itself felt extremely strange to me. There were people crying, shouting, and behaving unpredictably all around me. Even before entering the main temple, I felt uncomfortable because of everything happening around me.

Photography and video recording weren't allowed there. I still tried to record something discreetly by turning on my camera and holding my phone in my hand.

That was a mistake.

In front of me, some people were lying on the ground and screaming things like, “Don't hurt me! Leave me alone!” and “I won't let go of him!”

Then one of them suddenly looked directly at me and angrily shouted that I shouldn't record her and threatened to hit me if I didn't stop.

I immediately turned my camera off. People around me also told me not to do it.

To be clear, I didn't see a ghost or anything supernatural with my own eyes. I only saw people behaving in extremely unusual ways, and I don't know what was actually happening to them.

I'm sharing this because I know some people here may immediately call it fake or explain everything differently. That's fine. I'm not claiming that I can prove anything paranormal happened.

My father is a priest, and he has also spent much of his life around people who believe they are dealing with paranormal or spiritual problems. Because of that, I've grown up hearing and seeing things like this since I was a child.

I have many stories from my own experiences and from things I've witnessed around me. Some of them may sound completely unbelievable, but I'll share them and let you decide what you think.

I'm not saying you have to believe me. I'm just telling you what I experienced.

This must’ve happened around 16 years ago where I would’ve been around 3 and my sister would’ve been 5.

We used to live in this tiny flat with me and my sister, my mum and my dad. And our next-door neighbours were a little family, the Dad let’s call him Peter his girlfriend and his kids. Their family was a little bit rough around the edges but they were okay. They were nice neighbours and me and my sister used to play with their kids.

One day, me and my mum and my sister had just driven back from the supermarket and as we parked up my mum saw Peter and his two friends outside in the communal garden area. And when she saw him, something felt wrong. She couldn’t explain this feeling but something about Peter felt very wrong in that moment and she felt so uncomfortable that she left the shopping in the car and just took me and my sister into the flat as quick as possible so that she wouldn’t have to talk to Peter.

The rest of the day went on as normal cooking dinner playing with us kids and putting us to bed. Her and my dad went to bed at a normal time and at around 3:30 in the morning, there was loud banging on the front door and on the windows, which woke my parents up instantly. There was yelling from outside “ Peter, we know you’re in there, hands on your head and exit the flat”. This would be terrifying for anyone.

Kind of a dick move from my dad, but he made her go to answer the door in her dressing gown because he was too scared. My mum open the door very gently and outside in front of her there were armed police pointing guns at her. (Keeping in mind this is in England, where our police don’t use guns unless it’s a special team). Anyway she opened the door and she said “ I think you need next door”. The police apologised to my mum and quickly went away to find Peter again.

We didn’t hear anything about the situation until a little bit later when we found out that the night before we went to the supermarket, Peter had burgled a house ,with two friends , that belonged to an old man and they bludgeoned him to death.

We still don’t understand what or why my mum got that feeling that something was wrong with Peter.

Something nice we like to think is that maybe her late Dad was giving her a sign to protect her or something sweet like that. But, it’s just something comforting yk.

What are your thoughts?

This story was told to me by my uncle, who used to perform postmortems at a hospital. The incident supposedly happened around 15 years ago. My uncle is 55 now, and he had already been doing this work for quite some time when this happened.

He told me that he was used to working with dead bodies and normally wasn't scared by them. That day, however, something felt completely different.

There were three people involved: my uncle, a junior assistant, and a senior assistant.A man's body, probably around 25–30 years old, was brought in for a postmortem.According to my uncle, the moment they saw the body, all three of them felt extremely uneasy.The body looked strange. My uncle said it looked almost completely drained of blood. The skin had turned bluish, while the hands and feet were extremely dark, almost as if they had been burned.

His junior assistant immediately said that he felt very uncomfortable and that something about the body didn't feel right.The junior assistant was someone who strongly believed in ghosts and supernatural things. He used to say that if God exists, then the Devil must exist too.He eventually told them that he couldn't stay in the room and went outside.My uncle was left with the senior assistant.Even the senior assistant, who normally wasn't frightened by this kind of work, admitted that he had never felt anything like this before.

He tried grabbing the body's legs, but immediately pulled his hands away.My uncle asked him what happened.

The senior assistant said that when he grabbed the body's leg, he felt as if someone had grabbed his leg at the same time.My uncle told him that maybe he was imagining things or letting his fear get to him.The senior assistant said he couldn't continue and wanted to leave.My uncle asked him to stay nearby because he didn't want to be alone, even if the senior assistant didn't want to participate.So the senior assistant stayed in the room.My uncle then touched the body's hair.

At first, he didn't feel anything.But after a few moments, he said he started feeling as if someone was touching his hair.Then they noticed something even stranger.The body's eyes kept opening.They would close them, but after some time, the eyes would open again.Both of them were becoming increasingly frightened.Suddenly, the lights went out.The senior assistant started shouting.My uncle was trying to find the light switch by feeling along the wall while the senior assistant kept yelling that someone was grabbing his leg.

Then, suddenly, the lights came back on.And the body was gone.It wasn't on the table anymore.

They immediately checked the area where bodies were normally stored, thinking perhaps someone had moved it.There was nothing there.They left the room and went toward the main hospital building. It was roughly 100 meters away, with a dark path between the two buildings.When they reached the hospital, they found the junior assistant sitting there with an oxygen mask on. A nurse was with him.

They asked the nurse what had happened.She said he had suddenly started having trouble breathing.

My uncle and the senior assistant assumed that he was still frightened by what had happened earlier.

My uncle told him, somewhat jokingly, that if he had seen everything they had just seen, he probably would have been even more terrified.But the junior assistant looked at them and said:

“I saw it too.”

He explained that while he was walking toward the hospital, the same dead body had suddenly appeared directly in front of him.Then it disappeared.

My uncle immediately asked where the body had gone.But there was no sign of it anywhere.Eventually, everyone went home.At the time, my uncle lived alone.That night, he had a disturbing dream.In the dream, the same man was standing over him and hammering a nail into his head.My uncle woke up and realized that he had a severe headache.

What frightened him was that the pain seemed to be in exactly the same place where the man had been striking him in the dream.The next day, my uncle went back to the hospital.That's when he learned that the junior assistant had died the previous night.

According to his family, he had been sleeping when he suddenly started screaming. A short time later, he died.

After that incident, my uncle and the senior assistant both resigned from the job that same day.I don't know whether this story is true.I'm not claiming that what happened was paranormal, and I can't verify everything my uncle told me. I'm simply repeating the story exactly as it was told to me.

I post stories like this regularly because I ask my uncle, friends, relatives, and sometimes random people if they have any strange experiences to share. Some people assume that I use AI to make up my stories, but that's not the case. Every story I post comes from someone who told it to me.

Whether my uncle experienced something genuinely unexplained or simply remembered an extremely frightening incident differently after all these years, I honestly don't know.

What do you think happened?

So I (21F) have a tendency to go to haunted places as I find it pretty cool to try to see if I can see or hear anything in there and have been doing it for a while now. But recently my friend (23F) who is more religious and has lots of crosses and bibles etc, told me that whenever I'm around she hears knocks and other out of place sounds. Mostly at my place or when we are out together, but also sometimes in her house.

Her place has like those pictures of saints, and lots of catholic things over all. And has like been blessed etc, so she never gets anything paranormal happening there when I'm not there. So could something be following me?

Hello!

This is my first post here, so sorry if it seems a little messy. From the time I was about 13-16, I lived in a moderately sized house that was built in the 80s. The first night we moved our stuff in, I sat in my room and cried because I was suddenly so scared and from then on I slept with a night light!

There was several instances that really freaked me out. Even today, I try and search for some type of explanation. The first time something strange happened was several months after moving in or so. I woke up sometime in the middle of the night, and saw a blue figure sitting on the top shelf of my closet. I wear glasses, and there was a light outside of my window, so I wondered if somehow it was a cast of light I was interpreting as something else. Still, I maintained my eye contact on this little figure and reached to the side, waving my hand over the window, and then pulling my blackout curtains closed! The figure still remained and at that point I swung around to see if there was a different light source—none, just the yellow-ish street lamp. When I faced my closet again, it was gone.

Later on, my grandparents were over. My dad had a table saw out from earlier work and they were all drinking in the yard. My grandpa started getting disturbed and called out to my brother and said he was messing with the saw. My brother was upstairs, but my grandpa swears he saw a boy messing with it.

About a year or two after that (I still was sleeping with my lights on every night), I was curled up in bed facing the wall. This was during quarantine so I was going to bed at like 2AM every night. I heard scuffling from the other end of the room, which immediately made me awake and alert. Still, I kept frozen out of fear. Then I heard the most terrifying noise, as though an animal ran across my room floor towards me and growled. I shot up and scanned the room, but nothing. I slept with the big light on after, and had a horrible nightmare about the house being crooked and covered in writing. I started sleeping with my parents after this because I was so terrified of my room! 😭

Finally, a bit before we moved, the hallway upstairs was filled with boxes. I was scared once again because our little dog was with me and staring intently at the corner of my room across from my bed. It was like 4AM and I got so spooked that I went to my brother (who was also awake, as was usual during quarantine). We were standing in the hall chatting, he was also a little spooked about something that I don’t remember now, and then we heard someone ascending the stairs.

We glanced down, and saw a dark figure (it was very dark downstairs so anyone who was ascending would have just appeared as a black figure) walk to the middle of the stairs, stare at us for some time, then walk back down. We wondered if it was our BIL who was living with us at the time. We both were terrified but went downstairs and into the garage (the garage door was about 5 feet from the bottom of the stairs). He was in there, groggily getting ready. His eyes were hardly open but we asked if he’d just come in. He was confused and said no, so we just sort of freaked out and my brother walked us through the rest of the house.

We moved out about a month later (our landlord sold the house) and never really had a weird experience again. I think about all of this pretty often, and whenever I do I get the same terrified feeling I had back then. Is there anything that could be a rational explanation for all this? I’ve always had great memory (I remember being a baby!) and I’ve never really believed in ghosts or been a spiritual person. If there is anything that could explain this and give me some peace of mind, please share! Sorry if my writing is a little rambly. Thank you for any insight.

When I was younger. I was in the back of my house. I was 11 or 12. It was late at night and I was looking at the sky for no reason at all.. the moon was particularly beautiful, and there was a ring around it like a rainbow, that wasn't uncommon. I was looking up and the moon and something flew across it... Like a giant bat or a bird.. all I know is that it was huge. I was a kid so I just found it fascinating. I just told myself it was a dragon like in the movies, but it did not have a tail, and the wings were like a bats. I have never seen anything like that before or since. And I have no idea what it was. I would really like to know.

Ok so when me and my sister where yyounger "Probably 7-13 " every night for year every time I when to bed i use my over size blanket and part of it would always hang a little off the Bed like enough to touch the floor, i I would always try to pull the blanket up but it me and my sister both always felt a tension like something was holding it down and I would pulled as hard as I could and it felt like what ever was holding it down let go but I would look and there was nothing under both of our beds. This happened for years untill we moved out of that house . Also ik it never got caught on any of the bed frames because it would only hang of the side. But has this happened to anyone else or was is just us? also we always put our selfs to bed. so no tucking in lol

sorry for my Bad grammar

I live in a 3 story townhouse, 1st floor is the garage 2nd is the kitchen and living space and 3rd is the bedrooms. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to use the bathroom. The bathroom on the 3rd floor is facing the stairs going down the 2nd floor. The stairs go up towards the 3rd floor like a L around a corner. I left the door open to pee cause im a dude and it’s the middle of the night. While I was peeing I felt something just tell me to look down the stairs. When I looked over I saw a completely black dark shadow figure. Just the shoulder down, no head; just peeking around the corner. Right when I looked over it slowly made its way down around the corner to where I couldn’t see it anymore. I immediately looked at my phone and of course it was exactly 3:00 AM. Like right on the dot. I just scurried back to bed like a little kid lol. For context I’m usually not a believer in the paranormal as nothing super convincing has happened to me before but seeing an actual apparition last night made me shit my britches.

Hi everyone! My post here is to find some sort of explanation or confirmation about something happening in where I live. As the title says, the light in my kitchen turns on by itself. Now, there’s a bit of context to all this:

I live in an old house (built around the 1920s - 1930s) that was turned into an apartment building. Earlier this year, the landlord installed motion sensors for the lights in both the kitchen and the living room and I want to mention that since they were installed, the one in the kitchen never detected any movement, meaning that even when someone walked into the kitchen the light would not turn on, forcing us to press the button to turn it on, while the sensor in the living room would work normally.

For a couple of months now I noticed that even when no one was in the kitchen, the light would turn on by itself. Since I knew the motion sensor never worked I didn’t really pay attention to it, but I started to notice that it was a regular thing, happening mostly during the afternoons or evenings.
Yesterday, I wanted to confirm my suspicions or test if it was something with me, and since my partner was going to be there while I was at work, I asked them to pay attention to that light, but they said nothing happened while I was out. And when I came home, it happened once.

The reason I decided to post this and look for opinions on the subject is that it has caused me a bit of anxiety, since I fear it’s “something” that accompanies me (since I’ve noticed that it only happens when I’m home) but also, because since last night, the light hasn’t turned on, as if the moment I tried to test it, it stopped happening.
I’d appreciate a lot if someone who is an electrician can help me find a logical explanation to this, or if there’s any other explanation.

Hey yall,

I (19F) had a weird experience last night. Last night around 4:15 I woke up and was already quite awake. 30 seconds later I hear someone loudly whisper "mom" in my native language (dutch). Mom in Dutch means "mama", and this whisper was like a really long maaamaaa. I was like what is going on so I treed to rationalize this experience.

It can not possibly be that I live in an haunted house. My house was build 8 years ago and my family and I are the first people to live here.

Its most likely also not my family as I sleep on the second floor and they sleep on the first floor.

Something else that I thought about is that it couldve been my dad. He passed away 12 years ago and Ive had a couple experiences where I thought it was him. The only thing is that this voice was more like a little girls voice of some sort? Not anything like my dad so I was scared shitless

Last option is (and most logical) is that it was my girlfriend. She talks in her sleep sometimes, but there are some flaws in this explanation.

- she only talks in her sleep when she has just fallen asleep. Not when shes already been asleep for 5 hours.

- It didnt really sound like her. I was lying down with my back facing her, so I couldve just heard it a bit different.

- She never uses the word "mama". We live in a province where the dialect is "mem". Thats the word she uses. Also when she sleeps.

- She also wasnt awake and therefore she couldnt have like pranked me. She was sleeping really deep. I tried to wake her but no succes.

Ive asked my girlfriend about it. She told me she didnt dream about anything and that she only uses "mem". She thought it was insane.

So please please help me rationalize this!! Im not like scared or anything of the paranormal but i do like to know what this couldve been.
