Haunted Dorm

2015-2016

This is a dorm at VCU- I lived in GRC 3 for my freshman year and I had one roommate. We both experienced a few things there. So the first was we both started experiencing out of body dreams and whatnot. I had dreams about the time and things happening that came true. One main instance was I woke up one morning just after 5. I don't remember the exact time anymore :( But I rolled over and checked my alarm clock before I sat up. When I sat up, I was like sucked BACK INTO my body and everything felt like it was vibrating. I felt like sand on a speaker if you know those videos where they put stuff on speakers and play music really loud? I could feel all of my atoms. And no, I wasn't high or anything like that. I was kind of half in my body and half out? I could feel two versions of me- the part of me that could move and was vibrating and then my body which I could control my breathing in. But I could also sense a presence next to my bed. I'm really glad that I couldn't see anything because even though I keep my lights on, it was pitch black to me. And I felt this powerful presence- it wasn't evil or anything, just scared the shit out of me because it was just THERE. So all I could think about was NOPE I NEED TO GET BACK INTO MY BODY. And I started doing a breathing exercise and slowly felt myself fall back into my body and kind of align with it. It felt like it transpired iver the course of maybe 20 minutes but when I fully woke up, it was the EXACT same time I had seen when dream me had checked the time. My roommate started having dreams of this person visiting her and she had similar experiences of being almost pulled out of her body- which is similar to something my ex experienced but I'll talk about that in a different location. Some other things we experienced: - Hearing someone open the bathroom door and come in very often when we were taking a shower. We'd look and not see anything. -One time we were sitting in the living room outside of her room and it was storming. We were joking about the lights going out and joked about what if they went out right now? And when I said "if my light went out I'd leave" and the light bulb in my bedroom died right at that exact moment. - Hooded figured appeared in the wood grain of my door. Covered them with papers that I drew religious symbols on lol. My roommate saw these too. -I was talking to my mom on the phone and we both heard a voice coming from the other end. I thought it was coming from her end and she thought it was mine. I don't remember what it said anymore since it was 8 years ago. - I came home from work one day and my roommate was sitting in the living room. She looked up at me, terrified and just said, "no. No." So obviously I asked what was wrong and she asked me where I came from. I told her work, I've been there the whole day. And she said no, you can't have because I've been sitting here studying all day and I heard you IN YOUR ROOM." She apparently heard me talking and moving around in my room like I was on the phone. She even knocked on my door to ask me something and when I didn't respond she assumed I was napping. We couldn't hear our neighbors that clearly. Sometimes we heard their music or if there was a party, but not like that. - Later on I got a job working the front desk in 2019 for the newly built GRC building. GRC 3 is still behind that one and I had students come through the lobby just wanting to sit there because their "room was hanuted." The described similar things and the reason why they left was because they heard talking on the bedroom when nobody was in there. It was the same exact room and it was really validating lol. Probably had some one off things as well, but I don't remember them.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
