I thought so too when I first started doing them, I didn't really care if they were real or not as long as they felt real enough to be fun. But I was able to prove to myself that they're authentic by verifying details on the other side of my bedroom door, namely what clothes my mom was wearing and seeing that she was setting up the vacuum (which woke me up when she started it).

So now I'm personally convinced. And what's the James Randi challenge?

could be so, but isnt it possible that you mind perceived the vacuum with your super human sleep-ears? obe could be real, but it may be more of a mental travel rather than spirit. i mean i think the mind can perceive things that your conscious cant, including ESP type shit. dreams may be an easy way to open the door of this perception! maybe

Yeah I considered that too, but she got the vacuum out of her closet, which I'd be hard-pressed to hear. And I definitely couldn't hear what clothes she put on.

edit:

I could totally make a million bucks off this James Randi guy. All you'd need to do is pop out of your body and identify something you couldn't otherwise perceive?

Cause hell, I could do that, and I wouldn't call myself an "expert paranormalist" by any stretch.
