Oh, I know what our minds can do, robin. I definitely do. When I was young--a trifle older than 5 or 6 in my case, but around that age--I experienced, for the first and only time (thank God!), a "night terror." Absolutely unimaginable stuff. I too remember screaming for my mother, and she didn't understand at first until I just kept blabbering about "numbers...numbers..." without any sense to it, and saying that something was going to happen to me and my family. Luckily, my mother had experienced something similar when she was that age, so she eventually came to realize what was happening to me. There's nothing she, or anyone, could do, though. It's simply an experience that one cannot remember, except in the most opaque details ("Numbers"? Honestly?) and that is undeniably terrifying, even sickening. Oy! What the brain does to us.

Being shot at was definitely one of the scariest things to happen to me.

I have a 'paranormal' story that is part of family lore. It didn't happen to me, but I am part of the story.
My parents lived in Paris, France, for a number of years, and lived in a house which was made up of three floors. My parents lived on one floor, another family lived on another, and on the top floor/ attic lived a pair of Russian nobility emigrees sisters, who were the femmes de manages (cleaning women) for the house.
One of the sisters had married a French Foreign Legion soldier, who had risen to the rank of commandant, and was known affectionately as, Monsieur Le Commandant. He was retired, in his eighties, and enjoyed a grandfather's relationship with my older brother, where the highlight of a summer's day was for them to go into the communal garden for a spot of ant-stamping, and licking petit-pois (peas) with honey off of a knife.
My mother became pregnant with me, but developed complications, and had to be hospitalized. My brother, who was six, at the same time came down with a very serious illness, so serious, that second opinions were sought, and both doctors came back with a diagnosis that he could very well be at death's door. With my father working, a wife hospitalized, and a son close to death, he had to make the decision of hiring someone to look after my brother, whilst he was shuttling from work to hospital and home, so hired an American woman called Sara to be a live in nanny.
It was during this period that Monsieur Le Commandant died, and it was decided that this would be kept away from my brother, because this could devastate my brother so much, it could possibly kill him, in the state he was in.
One day Sara was in the kitchen, when Monsieur Le Commandant's wife came storming in accusing her of stealing and smoking her husband's pipe. She was surprised by the accusation, and taken aback, but vehemently denied it, but once Monsieur Le Commandant's wife stormed back out, she did become aware of the faint smell of his pipe tobacco, which unnerved her, to the point where she felt compelled to rush to my brother's room, in case he was in trouble. As she rushed in to the room, instead of finding him in a feverish state, or worse, possibly engulfed in flames, she found him propped up in bed reading a comic book. Surprised, she asked him what was going on, and he replied that Monsieur Le Commandant had come in, read him his favorite story, and told him to get better, which is what he was doing.

I had mental anguish that knows no description combined with repeated mental images of my right hand holding my .45, raising it to my head, and firing. Over and over again. Couldn't make it stop. I remember that I unloaded the pistol, put it inside a box, and put the box inside a drawer so that I could not get to it quickly. These incidents came without warning and were the most frightening thing I've ever been through.

I saw present-day Lonni Anderson and Dolly Parton the same week.

Just to be clear, I was sexually assulted by one of the "demons" in my sleep paralysis. Not an actual person. Still though, it was freaky as f***. I believe you because I have a sister who said this has happened. She isn't one to lie. Sorry you went through it too.

Paranormal scary? When I was a kid at my great aunts house I saw a chair move across the kitchen by itself. I screamed and my great aunt said it was George her dead husband who I never met. She always said he was there with her. I was always scared at her house. Another time a bell she kept on top of a shelf use to ring by it self. She said it was George who use to ring it for her to come help him when he was sick. I found that very scary!

I wonder if anyone here has ever had something akin to a doppelgänger experience. I just talked to my mother, and she told me that yesterday she was brushing her teeth when she saw me standing beside her. She turned, and there was no one there. I wasn’t there or anywhere around at the time. The whole story really freaked me out.

The stories I've heard about, involved apparently "real" people, not just images in mirrors... Usually though, you see them from behind or something like that. You can't see their faces. Entities pretending to be people you know? Not sure what that is all about. But, yeah, very scary to think about.

MCDemuthI’m not at all sure that it was something supernatural (about which, as noted, I tend to be skeptical), it’s just…weird. The whole thing went like this: she felt my presence right next to her, as if I’d sneaked up on her. Then she looked, and I wasn’t there. Then she saw me walking up and said, “Oh! I just thought you were there…”—just to see that I wasn’t there either. At all. She wondered if it were some kind of psychic connection sorta thing… Yeah, my skepticism doesn’t exactly countenance that either. Could one chalk it all off to a strong feeling, causing her to think me there when I wasn’t? Sure. As I said, it’s just that the story freaked me out.

I feel like Enemy was an underrated movie about the subject of doppelgangers actually.

she felt my presence right next to her, as if I’d sneaked up on her. Then she looked, and I wasn’t there. You didn't mention that part before, you only said: " she saw me standing beside her" Those two things are different... Then she saw me walking up and said, “ Oh! I just thought you were there…” — just to see that I wasn’t there either. At all. Now, I am confused...Are you saying ?... 1.) She had a feeling that you were in the room with her... 2.) But when she looked, she did not see you... 3.) Then she thought she saw you in the mirror... 4.) But when she looked directly at where she thought you were, again, she did not see you... If at first, she felt you were there, then perhaps, she imagined seeing you the second time... Almost like a post hypnotic suggestion. As for a real "mirror" being... that sounds like scenes from the movie "Poltergeist III". The doppelgänger stories, I have heard about, Involved... 1.) The witness, sees what appears to be a real flesh and blood "being"... either, in an adjacent room (A sister combing "her" hair in the Bathroom, for example.), or, walking around the outside of a house... looking and sounding, exactly like a family member or a friend, but the witness is never able to get a look at the "beings'" face... This encounter can last for just a few seconds, or even for several minutes... The witness may even have a two way conversation with the "being". 2.) But then, the Witness will go somewhere else, and leave the "being" at the original location... only to discover that their friend or family member was somewhere else during that entire time. The person being "Imitated" may also have a "Witness" of their own, verifying, that the Witness did have an encounter with a doppelgänger. I learned about these "beings" from an episode of " A Haunting". These doppelgängers were not portrayed as "mirror" people. But, that doesn't mean that doppelgängers are never seen in "Mirrors". I'm not sure what your Mother experienced... But, the most important thing we need to focus on, is that, she thought this was real, and ( I guess) was frightened by it. Many skeptics tend to overlook this!

MCDemuthJust clarifying… That’s pretty much it, as far as she explained it to me. She first thought I was there, then saw that I wasn’t—then turned again to “think she saw me”—not in the mirror, but in her peripheral vision. Sorry if it were too confusing. This is all second-hand, of course.

But, yeah, very scary to think about. I know that mythology states that if you see his own doppelgänger you’re pretty much doomed, but is there any repercussion to some else’s seeing your doppelgänger? Don’t think so, but I might as well know!
