Shaking Bed Phenomenon

1/24/2021

0 Comments

 
The shaking bed phenomenon is a very strange occurrence and one I have experienced a few times now over the years.
I have told people of these experiences before and understandably you receive the odd few jokes. However, it is a real phenomenon and it isn’t just me that has experienced it, if you look the phenomenon up you will see many have reported very similar experiences.
The first time I experienced it was when I was in my last trimester of pregnancy in 2009. It had been a normal night here in the UK. I had gone to bed at my normal time and as I got comfy in the duvet and arranged my pillows and shut my eyes, my bed started to feel as if it was vibrating, only slight at first. I laid there, I thought it was just my imagination at first. I brushed it off that it was indeed my imagination and tried to settle again, however, it got much stronger. I sat up and it stopped. I honestly thought I was going mad. I laid back down and settled again and again it started to shake but much stronger this time. I got up, I went to the toilet, still wondering what the hell was going off and trying to explain it to myself in some logical form but couldn’t. At this point I had wondered if it was something not of this world. I went back to bed and settled back down again and again it started but even stronger than the last. At this point, I had out ruled every possible logical explanation and decided to call out ‘If this is something not of this realm please stop’ and indeed in that second it did. I was surprised but glad but also not scared….
This occurred on several nights continuously and in the end I felt I needed to tell someone so I told my mum. My mum thought pregnancy may have been getting to me and laughed it off, so I suggested that this evening she got in bed with me, which she laughed but did agreed.
That night, I went to bed as I normally did. My mum came up shortly after and I said just get in the bed mum and see if it does it. She got in next to me and we both settled and bang on cue the bed started shaking. This resulted in my mum saying ‘OMG Charl, is that you messing about’ and me being very still saying ‘No..No it isn’t’. This continued for several minutes and I said to my mum, ‘I can make it stop, watch’. I called out again for it to stop and on cue it did….
This continued throughout my last weeks of pregnancy and completely stopped when my daughter was born for 4 years.
I have only then ever experienced the same phenomena during the passing of my father (which in due course, I will fully speak about) and is strangely the same week that my daughters birthday was on, other than them two occurrences, it has only ever happened the odd time after a investigation.
So what is it?
There are quite a few theories to why this may be occurring from the supernatural to the logical so I will go through them all, so you can decide for yourself, with some advice a the end.
A Poltergeist!
One theory is that mainly females aged between preteen and teenagers who maybe are experiencing stress, anxiety and differences in hormones can outwardly manifest paranormal activity such as objects moving.
Its a awareness of how open you are!
A lot of people who are becoming more spiritually open, experimenting with their mediumship or participating in meditation practices, have all reported the same thing at the beginning of their spiritual journey for enlightenment. It is thought that whether you are aware you have a mediumship skills or are more open, this is your sign that you may be more open to the spiritual realm than the average person and have a higher vibration and the actual vibration you are feeling is your own and you can feel it and as well as others.
Spirit Contact
A really common thought for this phenomena is that it is actually a spirit trying to communicate with you.
Hallucinations
On the cusp of sleep state either at the beginning or end you can end up in a trance state and during this time you can experience hallucinations. Its also during this state people often experience lucid dreaming or sleep paralysis.
Alcohol or drugs
Anything you consume which can affect your normal mental state could have some kind of effect on you and you may perceive the room or the bed that you are in differently to what you normally would.
Be aware of your environment.
Does the area you live in suffer with regular earth quakes? Do you live near a railway track. Is there pipes under the floorboards where your bed is. Check for any item or anything that may be around that could possibly cause a vibration.
Yourself
Are you hyper sensitive to electrical pulses? Many people who are hyper sensitive to electrical pulses are more aware of electrical frequencies and often get what is described as tingles, when in sleep state this could be felt as vibrations.
Ways to stop it
Influence yourself if you think it is a mental state, focus on your breathing rate and change the pattern. If you think you are lucid dreaming try to touch the wall, if your hand goes through the wall you are dreaming and you can control the dream.
A good night-time ritual, make a calming routine that is peaceful and calming to you which should follow you through to your sleep.
Talk to it, tell it to back off if you are convinced its paranormal
Cleanse your house.
