I am definitely a skeptic when it comes to the supernatural. I would like to believe but until I try to shake hands with a ghost and see myself pass through him/her, I remain doubtful.
That being said, a strange thing happened last night. Around 2AM I wake up and go use the bathroom. I come out of the bathroom and head for the bedroom. I purposely closed the door to the bedroom so as not to wake up my girlfriend. I reach out to open the door and when my hand is about two to three inches from the door…the door opens on its own. Nothing fancy, no lights, no apparitions. The door just silently opened completely. Not just a couple of inches, the door opened and swung back as far as it could go, right up against the wall. No sound, and defintitely not slowly like in the movies. It opened just like if someone was opening it at my pace.
I actually was just not going to break my stride and go towards the bed and back to sleep (that’s how well timed it was) but I did a double take when I noticed that I was still looking at my hand. It was still frozen in mid-air, in that split second where you look at both your hand and the knob to make sure you grab it.
My eyes were adjusted to the dark so I saw my girlfriend sleeping away. No one was behind the door, it was against the wall at this point. No one behind me. I grabbed the door, it felt normal. Looked behind it, no strings, nothing weird. I closed it and went back to sleep.
Only in the morning, when I told my girlfriend about it, it started to strike me as pretty weird. I think I had assumed it was a breeze last night, but a breeze? In an apartment? The air conditioner was in her room, not outside it. A breeze should have shut the door, not opened it. I can’t explain it but damn, I hope it happens again.
Have you had a similar first hand experience that you just can’t explain? Were you freaked out at the time? After that event, do you believe in the supernatural now, if you doubted before?
