There is breathing in my room

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Since we all seem to be haunted these days, I thought I'd share my own experience.

A couple of weeks back I walked into my dorm room and heard what sounded like soft breathing. At first I thought it was my roommate sleeping, but I checked around and the room was empty. I listened very carefully and there's no way to describe it other than steady soft breathing, with a very slight almost imperceptible "nose whistle". When I lay down in bed I can hear it most clearly. I tried to explain it as the air vents, but we don't have air vents, the air-conditioning is in the common room and you can't hear it from my room, and we don't have the heat on in the summer so there's really no explanation.

I haven't noticed it in a while but maybe I've just blocked it out.

Are you being completely serious? Is this some nosleep stuff? If not, I would suggest moving college, or country, or body..

Someone has been reading too much nosleep

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Nope, totes serious.

There was this one night I almost had a heart attack because instead of breathing I heard sniffling, and I knew there was no way I could explain it away. At first I thought it was my roommate and vice versa, but when I asked it turned out to be neither of us and I got out of bed and ran into the hall and demanded who was sniffling. Turns out it was a friend of mine in the living room, we had all the doors open so our crappy AC could sorta go down the hall, and sound carried. I could have sworn it was in the room.

Everyone thought I was crazy, and I told them to step off because I was ghost busting.

The breathing I've heard during the day and at night whether or not the door is open or closed, so that's something different.

nosleep is the worst and best subreddit ever, makes me look behind me multiple times.

Serious? Wow, I would freak the hell out if I was you.

I listen to the Creepypasta readings on YouTube sometimes but a lot of the Creepypasta stories are redundant and full of the same slasher horror, which just doesn't do it for me. I need psychological thrillers.

Have you read/listened to the Sandman story? Creepy as fuck

[HollywoodMole]

I feel like Creepy Pastas always have the same cut out characters with one aspect of personality. All you see is the same abusive father, Obsessed gamer, Sexy killer woman, etc.

I do believe in spirits but I don't think that they are able to physically harm humans, existing in the metaphysical world rather than the physical one. So I'm not worried, but I do think dabbling in the spiritual realm (witchcraft, ouija boards, seances, etc) is hazardous, because that realm and this realm are not meant to mix.

No I have not, but now I might.

I never see people like you on the internet... except when they are being insulted.

Oh thanx I try not to cause unnecessary drama 'cause I have a lot of opinions people would disagree with, and that's okay, everyone has the right to their own beliefs. But I'm more than happy to talk about my own in a personal conversation with people who are interested.

Dont answer if this is too personal, but im curious, Do you believe in god? Or some sort of deity?

[HollywoodMole]

Hmm... You're like the Anti-cancer of the internet.

Did it sound like it was coming from anywhere?

Yes, I consider myself a Theist, though my personal beliefs are closer to conservative Christian, though I don't call myself a Christian anymore because of all the negative cultural connotations attached to the word these days.

If the internet has cancer then it's Deadpool.

Like I said, I hear it clearest when laying in bed. I'm bottom bunk and the bed is against a wall but not in a corner.

What about astral projection. Do you think that's real?

As far as out-of-body experiences go, there seem to be enough reported cases to say that it's possible, though I can't say I remember ever experiencing one myself. I actually watched this really neat National Geographic documentary called "The Moment of Death" and this was one of the things they talked about. Really interesting, but ultimately no way to prove or disprove it.
