Last night, my son, (27), who lives alone, went to bed, and his Jack Russel dog settled down beside him.
Twenty minutes later, the dog sat up, stared at the ceiling and started growling.
My son settled the dog down.
This happened twice more over the next half hour.
Then my son felt pressure on the mattress like somebody pressing down on the mattress just behind him.
THEN, he said he felt the bed shaking. Went on for a few minutes then stopped.
My son (sadly ) is an atheist and doesn't go in for mumbo jumbo or things that go bump in the night.
It spooked him a bit.
What do you think?
Thank you Naomi. Thought you would never ask.
I told my son that perfectly natural explanations may not necessarily be apparent to us, but don't rule them out.
On the other hand, I believe in a spirit world, (God is spirit,) and the obverse of the the loving God is also the danger of spirits of oppression. But nothing to worry about unless they are invited into ones life, through various gateways, some of which have been mentioned on here.
Theland, I tend to agree with the advice you offered your son. Meanwhile, you seem so confident that the gateway you've chosen for yourself is somehow different from the rest that you've closed the gate behind you and intend to never look back.
