My latest experience with something unexplainable.

Ok...in light of Friday the 13th I thought I would share my latest experience with the unexplainable. These things aren't things I happen upon daily but they are things that I have grown, over time, to understand are not common among everyone so to speak. I have never started a discussion over them before..but it is so odd that I thought I would ask for the experiences of others or even opinions. I am ok with the that's crazy response but I would like, for a moment, that everyone just consider and ask themselves what they would do if they found something like I am about to describe.
OK...here goes...there are lip prints on every glass in the house. Mirrors, windows, and doors that have glass. Not by the million or anything extreme like that, but here and there. Just where I notice them casually. They are shaped in a kiss and you can even see the nose and chin. Now...could it be someone in the house running around kissing the glass? Perhaps..but they are also very highly placed at times. Like someone would have had to have something to stand on to do it. On top of that, after secretive investigation, I find that the lips and nose imprints wouldn't quite match anyone in the house. Odd huh? Maybe a trick of the eye...or something more? I am cleaning them off when I see them but there always seems to be more later..somewhere else.
Have you ever heard of such a thing? Have you ever experienced something odd and unexplainable? Were you afraid people might think you were crazy if you told?

Natural or supernatural? Buy two new mirrors, place one where it is accessible and hide one where no one else will know. See what happens.

i wonder if it could be they just look like lip prints. perhaps its a flying bug of some sort? that lands leaving a mark. well, i wouldnt tell my family because they already think im bonkers most of the time. i hope you find out what could be the cause of this soon. before you do go bonkers wondering over it.

Hello Jen... Friday the 13th has come and gone... It did not do anything to me, thankfully... Your experience is quite unique.. But I don't think, there is anything superstitious about it... It might be done by anyone in the house. A female, most probably... I hardly see a boy printing his lips on mirrors in the house.. It sounds totally feminine... Check with everyone in the house... If they are at impossible places, then it is not really impossible to put them there... With the help of chair, table, or ladder; anyone can easily do that... My suggestion is, Miss, please check carefully...
Take care...

After reading all the responses...Dearest Jen..and yours! Surreal as this seems...I feel good about this, as a kiss is a sign of happiness..and love, and I think you should read it as a sign, some-one (doesn't matter whom) is reminding you .. THAT YOU ARE LOVED! It is a gentle sign..seemingly sent by an ANGEL!

H Mr_pearl! Yes..anything is possible. I should investigate all options. There are only three of us in the house now and I don't normally have company..so that helps narrow it down a bit. If I ask and my daughter denies it...we will know if the lip prints subside. I just can't imagine when she would have been able. We are together all the time when I work, she is in school and until bed..unless she goes to her room, we are together in the living room. It didn't start on the 13th...that's just when I decided to share it here because of the date.
Thanks for responding!

I lived in an apartment that had very strange things that went on....like a light shining out of a closet in the middle of the night when there was NO bulb in the light socket....I had at times come home and found really strange things that might be someone playing jokes but I didn't think so...like the beds being made...we could go out to the kitchen for supper and go back into the living room and have our pop cans in different places from where we left them. I totally believe you have lip prints! I was so glad when I moved!

I bet you are! It is creepy sometimes when things like that happen. At first you think your losing it or that it was just a mistake..but then you start to pay attention to where you put your things. I always put my keys in one place when I get home. When they come up missing...someone has moved them...lol...funny though when it happens, they always end up where I originally put them but after I have searched the house...LOL.
Thanks for responding..it's always nice to know someone else has experienced odd stuff too.

hi jen, nothing like this has happened in my house upto now but,yes, i having been seeing a spirit in my house since the last 16 years and i saw it last night when i was in bed and watching TV. It was floating above me and its face was turned in the direction of the tv as though it was watching it.This has been happening virtually everyday but it does not scare me at all.Before this i used to see it standing next to my bed looking down at me.It used to vanish instantly when it realized i was looking at it.It was the figure of a man and dressed in modern clothes but white in color.So i am not surprised at your paranormal experience.

Wow, that's pretty strange. I don't think you're crazy for seeing these. Maybe if you found out about the history of your house you'd be able to explain what you see. I certainly believe in stuff like that happening. From what you said, it doesn't seem like its anyone else that lives with you. It doesn't seem likely that someone would go to such lengths by getting on something to put the lip marks way up high like that.

I know it's not the house. Remember..this is my latest experience.
It would be very hard for someone to get to reach the height they would have had to reach and then position themselves for a kiss...really odd. I think that people can be haunted almost as much as places sometimes. I don't know if there is any truth to that...I guess it's just my perspective.
Thanks for the response!

Yes..it does seem more playful than harmful. I have seen those shows too and sometimes they are pretty believable. I am weird too though because even though I believe in certain activities, I am also a strong skeptic because of it. I am extra guarded because I don't want people to be able to play off of that for their gain.

Hmmm, you're right about the house. I used to love watching this show called the haunted and each episode featured a person or family and their paranormal experience. In some of the episodes I think the spirits followed a particular person even after they moved. I'm not sure how true these shows were, I guess I just believed them because I believe in paranormal things. But I definitely do believe that spirits can be attracted to a particular person and then this person has more ghostly encounters than most. Luckily, it doesnt seem that whatever is happening to you is coming from something evil, more like something playful.

I asked my b/f casually what that was on the mirror...he squinched his eyes and said what is that? Lips? So no. I was actually a little concerned after my conversation with GardenGerty..LOL.
I like the thought of that.

Huh... that is very odd, and while disturbing, at least it doesn't seem to be threatening.
I suggest you give it a nice name, Sally or Sadie or something, and when you see a kiss tell her you love her too.
After a little while, you might ask, gently, that you don't mind her kisses, then ask her politely if she might not kiss one of the places you find most inconvenient to clean - if she's kissed there more than once. If that works maybe you can get her eventually to only kiss where you don't mind them - maybe even leaving a few out of plain sight ones.
Just a suggestion.

Hi ElicBxn! I'll be honest when I say I am a little afraid to address it directly. This is not the first time I have experienced something eerie. I have wondered if it is the same one or different but I think now after all this time...it is the same one. I remember the first time and I was only 7 or 8 and swinging in the back yard. the swing faced the house and it was just me and my grandfather there. I saw the outline of someone watching me out of the small kitchen window and remember thinking it was my grandfather...I couldn't see detail...just a the shadow I guess. I looked over and my grandfather came out of the basement where his little shop was and I thought what? There was only one way in and out of there. I looked back up in the window and there was nothing there.
I might try though and see if I can get those kisses moved out of sight.
Thanks for the response!

I have had strange things happen, but nothing like this. I think someone is playing tricks. Is there oppertunity for this to happen? Try ignoring it and see what happens, at worse you could have mirrors full of lips. Or you could burn a little sage and say a prayer. Blessings

I can't say that it isn't someone but the only people here or that have been here are my b/f and my 13 year old daughter. They are placed a bit high sometimes for me to imagine someone here doing it and not ever being seen. I am with my daughter almost constantly. When I am at work, she is at school and my house isn't that big. My laptop stays in the living room and she watches TV in there too. I don't know..anything is possible I guess.

No doubt about it, it is really bizarre, somethings weird must have going on inside your house. May be some kind of invisible forces or things are playing with you, you may well figure out how to deal with them. I had never experienced Something that odd, i am sure many people will think i am some kind of a NUT or insane if i come across such event in my house and tell them. No one is going to believe a word of what i say regarding this experience, it is quite disturbing.

That is not very comforting.
I know how strange it sounds and there are people that never experience things such as that. It can make it very hard for someone to believe if they have never experienced it. I do understand that.
Thanks for the input!

So what's your solution on this, my friend? Did it happen often inside your house, or just one time, you just going to let these weird things did the same again and forget about those strange feeling and move on. Or you have other plan in mind, you can spit it out here. I have no idea how to deal with all these weird things to tell you the truth, no clue whether i should leave them alone or stop them from happening again.

I don't know that there is anything to "do" really. I have been finding them on and off..here and there. It's not like I am being jerked up and roughed around by something threatening or anything like that.
The last super obvious thing that happened was when I went on a trip to Las Vegas. The place I work at has a hand scanner that reads the bone structure in your hand along with your number to clock you in and out. I was gone for a week and when I got back, accounting called me and said they thought I was going on vacation. I said I did...I went last week. They said..you couldn't have..we have clock in and out times for you everyday. Now that was really weird.
That was 6 years ago.

Hi jen..
Can we say those spots as a creation of winter.... i mean due to dew, fog or snow. Sometimes some odd imprints display for natural action-reaction. I dont think anything paranormal happened to your home. If i were you, surely will discover the reason before thinking it something paranormal.
Have a nice time.

Hmm, that does sound very odd, but, there may be a logical explanation.
Are there children in the house? since you said the lip stains were high i can imagine one of the children standing on a chair kissing the glass to maybe play a practical joke on you.
I would very much like to tell you about the very odd experiences i've had through the years but it would take forever.especially in the home i used to live in.without a doubt that place was haunted. and my entire family would vouch for this..
Feeling someone tapping me on the shoulder when there was no one home, my daughter seeing white ghost like shapes moving around the room that would frighten her no end, lamps shaking, lights turning on by themselves and so on and so on.
Believe me, i hesitate to tell many people about this fearing they may think i'm crazy, but these things DID happen and i have yet to come up with a logical explanation as to why or how.

Hi jujunme! I do wish I could narrow it down to a mischievous child, but my youngest is 13 and when I say high...I mean really high. Not to mention the fact I can't figure out to save the life of me what she would have stood on the reach it...or when she would have done it and not been caught. Weird.
I believe you. I think that people can sometimes be haunted as much as objects too.
Thanks for sharing your experiences...I don't think your crazy at all.

I've had lots of strange things happen to me in my younger years. I haven't experienced nothing in a while though. Maybe a loved one that passed a way is telling you that they love you in a way that you would know that it wasn't a person that is around you that is doing it. You never know what it is but it doesn't sound like a person did it if it is so high of reach that even standing on something it would be too tall to reach to kiss.

Where in the world have you been? I have missed and wondered about you! Are you well?
I hope so and that you had a great holiday!
I had more when I was younger too. I think it is emotional energy that might draw them to us sometimes. You know when we are young, we are very emotional and things are brand new. The mind is more open to things too.
I would like to think it is a faraway kiss..lol. Maybe it is.

That sounds most intriguing Jen and I have to say that I would be pretty disturbed (scared) by such activity. What makes you so sure your home isn't haunted? It sounds like a romantic spook if spook it is. It may be telling you something.
I've had a couple of very short minor type of experiences which could have been a trick of the eye or even my imagination - certainly nothing so tangible and confronting as what you have told us here.

I have never had things like that happen. However, I do know that things that are unexplainable do happen to some people. I have a daughter who loves to hear about things like this. I will have to tell her your story. She would love to live in a haunted house!

I pretty much know it's not the house. I think that people can sometimes be haunted as much as any object.
Tell her...that way if she ever does experience something like that, she knows she's not alone...lol.
They are so subtle that it's crazy. They are just there...lightly. The windows sometimes...the mirrors..it's odd.
Thanks for responding and I hope she enjoys the story.

Good Morning, dear Jen! In my realm, I would never dismiss that it could be the activity of spirits! I learned my lesson, and became a full believer of spirits when I first moved to this Island, and it was a rental Heritage home! At first I was reticent to relate the activities that I experienced...but after I bit the bullet and related to one person, the floodgates opened from all my friends and guests...and they related their encounters whilst visiting me! Coffee being brewed in the wee hours of the night! Beautiful Piano Etudes at all hours! The other half of a double bed being made whilst you are standing on one side! My Goddaughter talking, dancing and singing with an INVISIBLE friend...and she insisting some-one there! I am a believer.
AND...one more very curious thing! 26 years ago, on this Island, one of the very first friends I made here....completely disappeared on Easter Sunday..POOF! For days and weeks the Island residents, Police, Search and Rescue combed every inch...GONE! Jackie (the friend)had two things, always with her...her little dog (never found)and a beautiful lighter inlaid with turquoise. It was very unique..one of a kind! I, one morning, put on a clean pair of jeans...and there was the lighter in the pocket! Shedding tears for my lost friend...I put it in my jewellery case for safe-keeping & memories! AT LEAST 3 to 4 times a year, either my son (T.J.) or I will find this lighter...in strange, strange places! His tool-box (only he goes into when he comes home)...my purse, the cutlery drawer, etc. Just this Dec. 28th as he was working on my truck...he found it in the Glove Compartment. Go figure! What up?
I think when I find the end of the rainbow, I might find Jackie there...or is there another message that I have not figured out, after all these years?
It's a poser Jen...I think your kisses are from a loving spirit!

Dang...Jen, I wrote one of my biggest responses to this...and POOF..GONE! Now I have lost my entire train of thought..so will respond again later.
NO Jackie...like my response, POOF into thin air...EERY and weird on a SMALL Island like this....and I NEVER remove the lighter from my "jewelless box"...but I get the "eeby-jeebies" when I see it gone...Wonder where I will find it, and also wonder, each time I find it, is it a clue or a sign that I should keep persuing her dissappearance! So many times, I have bugged the Police with new ideas/hints/clues...I nearly drove them crazy! I feel it's reappearance is a reminder...just like your kisses!

That is amazing about your friend! Did they ever find her? Anything?
I like the thought of far away kisses.
My b/f doesn't believe in anything afterlife. At least not until he came here. He still denies it but when the door closes by itself or the flames in the candles jump around like crazy for no reason, I can see it. You can sometimes hear things downstairs and when he goes to check, there is nothing. My girls call it "my ghost"LOL. I have never said anything to them but they experience the missing stuff that was obviously put here or there and then disappears only to show back up in the same place we originally looked. He used to be more active when I was younger than he is now though.
I think that Jackie will be at the end of that rainbow.

Could be some one in the family BUT it also could be a spirit. Although I don't know if a spirit could leave such a mark on things. I have never heard of anything like this before. Coould it be smears and just look like lips and chin? Pretty weird I would say.

I suppose it could and there was someone that mentioned the cold weather. It has been cold here. If they weren't so defined I would be inclined to brush it off. I can see the nose, chin, and the lips very clearly when I do notice them and look closely. I don't know if they could leave marks like that either but I did have some marks show up a long time ago from a missing tube of lipstick. I blew it off as one of the kids then too but never found that lipstick. They were all at home then and small.

that doesnt sound that strange to me.
I have all sorts of "weird" stuff happen around me
so much so that "weird" is now my "normal"
after reading your comments I dont think it has anything to do with the house
It sounds like it may be a spirit that is attached to you in some way
perhaps its a grandparent or other relative or maybe even a lost love just trying to let you know that they are still with you and still love you.
whatever it is - it sounds very sweet and comforting to me.
Blessed be!

Thanks...I would like to think it is a far away kiss. Weird is kinda my norm too. I shared a story in post one that happened a few years ago too. I wonder why some people experience things like that and others never ever see a hint? I have to admit that I am still sometimes a little shocked though.

No..I have never spoken to a psychic..like in their office wise. I did see one at the fair here that approached me for a reading though. I told her no thanks because I think it is hard to determine who is legit and who is after the money. The eyes are very easy to reflect good and bad emotions and they can play on that. She did give me her card and said she would be in town for the week. She invited me to her hotel roon which I thought was scary odd. I thought she might have been a crook or something. You can never be too careful nowadays.
Thanks for responding.
