personal experiences, ive seen ghosts and spirits and things.
I will not be able to convince you otherwise but I'd like to ask a few questions.
Do you see them regularly or was it just on one or two occaisions?
What time of day did you see them?
Where were you when you saw them?
What was your state of mind?
Were you under the influence of any drugs?
Were you fully awake?
Were you alone?

Originally posted by amannionone of them was like a big white orb and it floated over my bed while i was sleeping and i was like "hell no!" and so i ran out of my room cuz i was scared. and most of the time they are invisible but they will open a door, close it, open the bathroom door, turn on the light, close it, and leave
What is the nature of these visions? What were they like?

Open and closing doors? Does anyone else live at your house? Have you ever heard of drafts? If they're invisible how do you know they leave?

Originally posted by amannioni wasnt sleeping. and the knobs turn but nobody is there, and drafts dont turn knobs. also, i know they were leaving because they shut the door behind them

Remember not to look for the least obvious explaination. Often the cause of something will be rational.
Just as an example (not saying you have this):
Hypnagogic Hallucination:
These hallucinations occur just before falling asleep and affect a surprising number of people in the population. The hallucinations can last from seconds to minutes, all the while the subject usually remains aware of the true nature of the images. These are usually associated with narcolepsy, but can also affect non-narcoleptics. Hypnagogic hallucinations are sometimes associated with brainstem abnormalities, but this is rare.
