My bed keeps shaking?

Question

I have asked this question many times and I am over the stupid answers. I'm completely serious and I'm looking for serious answers.
I have had many paranormal experiences in my house over the course of a few years. Lately, when I go to bed, my bed will start shaking for about 10-20 minutes with no real cause. This has woke me up of I'm asleep before it starts. It's not violently shaking but not lightly either. It's not me, I'm completely still. My bed is sturdy so it's not wobbling under my weight. It's not an animal or an electronic device. Its only my bed and nothing else and I can't find anything that could cause it.
Like I've said, I've had paranormal experiences like distinct shadow figures that move, footsteps and all that. No ghost has ever bothered me but it seems that one is shaking my bed. I never dare to look because I'm afraid of what I might see. Also because if I ignore it for 10 minutes it leaves.
Do you think it's a ghost? What should I do about it?

Answer 1

I have had this happen , but, after analysis, I no longer think anything of it----What happens is you suddenly move or Jerk in a certain way, that SUDDENLY wakes you up.---The mattress, being a construction of springs may still be vibrating or bouncing when you snap into consciousness, which startles you causing you to move again. Causing another few shakes.

Nothing Paranormal in it.

Answer 2

We can't see your history. I'm not criticizing, mine's private too, but we can't see the previous answers. It would help if you'd post links to them. Meanwhile, since you keep reposting the question, is it that you haven't had serious answers, or that they're not the answers you want? You're posting in Paranormal, so clearly you want someone to give you a paranormal cause, and you're rejecting rational explanations, right?

.

So let's see what we've got here. Two votes for muscular twitches, one stretching for electromagnetic disturbances, one religious spammer, and two in the paranormal camp. That's quite a spread. I guess there's no harm in spreading some salt around, but isn't that as likely to lock a spirit in as opposed to keeping one out?

.

I always wonder why I, the unbeliever, never sees paranormal things in my houses, while you often do. Some of it's probably that I interpret things differently than you do. If I hear a door slam, the first thing I think is "draft through the open window", while you may think "poltergeist". So, when I wonder about your description of events, I want to make sure we're on the same page here, and I'm really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. If I were to come over to your house, what would I see? Say, if we put a shock collar on me, and after you wake up and feel the bed shake for five minutes you press the button. I get shocked and rush into your bedroom, and throw the blankets off so I can closely examine you, and see you're not moving a muscle, but I'll feel your solid bed frame shaking for five to fifteen minutes, with no apparent cause. I won't detect any shaking of the room, as from an earth tremor, the only shaking I'd feel on the floor if any is coming from the bed, and I won't see any electrical or mechanical devices attached to the bed that could possibly be causing this. That's what you seem to be saying--is that really the case? Or, as soon as I quit swearing after feeling the shock collar, I rush into the room, and find the bed shaking but it dies down as soon as I confirm you're not moving. Which of those two would it be?

.

I'm so particular on that point because, as a rationalist, I have to go with the "muscle twitch" voters on this one. Because I've never seen a demon, and never expect to, I'd be most surprised to peek under the bed and see one, and having confirmed there can be no other cause, I simply can't accept your bed will continue shaking as you describe.

.

You don't say if you live alone. Could there be anyone else involved, either maliciously or jokingly having a go at you? For instance, and this is really a stretch here, but is it absolutely impossible that someone could have drilled a hole through your floor, up into the bed post, inserted a steel rod, and uses it to jerk back and forth and cause the frame to shake, driving you apparently crazy? Because other than the muscle jerks described by Tom and Simon, I can't believe your story otherwise. If the rod-through-the-floor scenario is as absurd as it sounds, can you be as certain it's not the kind of tremors they describe? You say we can't use a video camera, because it's not enough shaking to see.

.

It seems to me the critical phrase is this: "It's not violently shaking but not lightly either." I'm willing to accepting the story as being true as seen through your eyes, but I don't accept there is no natural cause, either. It is possible to experience muscular tremors totally out of your control, and I would bet my paycheck (if I had one) that you have a leg twitch you're not even aware of. Combine that with your predisposed inclination to believe in the paranormal, and we have the scenario you describe. That's the third vote for neuromuscular disorder, which is something you must seriously consider right after you get the courage to confirm there's no demon beneath the bed. And no holes in the floor.

Answer 3

are there any loose fans or objects in your house? basically at 5-40hz i wanna say the human mind starts to hallucinate. Or maybe you have a bad phase voltage comming into your room, the em from the wall could trigger seeing stuff thats not there. Also rem sleep can make you see things if your half awake - sleep paralysis. or maybe high concentrations of carbon monoxide? Or if there's like a heater or something pinging at the right frequency, that resonance could make your bed frame shake. If its only happening in sleep its probably in your mind

Answer 4

It's not a ghost. It's due to a type of muscle twitches, like Myoclonus or hypnagogic jerks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk



When you are going to sleep, your body goes through a process of shutting down. This can cause sudden twitches, jerks, or tremors in your muscles. You'll feel like the bed has suddenly shaken, sometimes strong enough that you'll wonder if it was a short earthquake, but it's just your muscles briefly spazzing out.



If it's lasting for 10-20 minutes you may want to visit a doctor, because if you're frequently having spasms for that long chances are it has a neurological root.

Answer 5

The demon that is shaking your bed is nothing compared to what they can do..I've heard of them picking the bed up several feet and dropping it (wish it would happen to a few on here). But as you can see, its starting to ramp up its fear mongering..its objective is to drive you crazy because it HATES you because you are a creation of God (so its normal for them to hate humans).



If its bugging you too much, play some religious music 24/7 (I know, you hate that stuff) well tough, play it and pray...Oh, and listen to CF's answer only if you want to stop being terrified.

Answer 6

salt your windows, closets and doors. Pray and it should work.





I had the same thing happen
