I Think My Ghost Shrimp Is Haunting Me!

[The_Dude]

My ghost shrimp got killed by my betta Tatsu, and I'm wondering if dead ghost shrimp can come back to haunt an ignorant owner.Two nights ago, I woke up at 3:30 am and looked at my bed and saw 14 ghost shrimp scuttling about and just freaked the hell out.My girlfriend runs in and thinks i've gone insane.But I know what I saw.

Been smoking?!?!?

 

[The_Dude]

no man! I'm not kidding. I've never touched a joint in my entire life, or any other drug.I'm of sound mind and I may have accidentally fed my betta with something intended as a pet...Is it guilt or is the spirit of a dead crustacean haunting his half ignorant former owner?

LoL. Um ya......stop smoking or throw it my way! If your seen dead shrimp, I want some of what you got buddy!

maybe you were in the stage 2 or 3 of sleep right before you reach out of REM (rapid eye movement). basically this means that you were partially asleep and partially awake so you were probably in the middle of a dream when you were waking up and saw the shrimp. so maybe you were just having a nightmare

Yeah you may just have had one heck of an interesting nightmare. I know that would really creep me out.

I believe you mate!!! Something similar happened to me last week. I called my boyfriend in tears to tell him my 2 year old armoured fan shrimp called "Fanny" had died. I wrapped him up in kitchen roll and binned him. The following day I gave my tank a good clean. The following week while making my tea I screamed the house down because there was Fanny fully alive and sat on a rock!!!

Bf came to the conclusion that I must have binned his outer shed shell!!! DUH!!!! I still believe I have a ghost shrimp tho!

 

[The_Dude]

I only had the shrimp for a week and I watched my betta tear it apart.I have had weirder things happen though.I helped my friend transport a firemouth to a tank once and he never told me there was a betta in there. 2 years later, they're living in perfect harmony! I don' know how it happened but it did.
Plus, I've had paranormal investigators say I'm a "sensitive", which means I can pick up on ghosts and pirits or something like that.

Please don't think I'm crazy..

i hear awefully wierd noises in my house. i was home alone one night i heard the noises and i set up a video camera i walked down the next morning and found my camera thrown against the wall. i watched the tape and saw a ghostly green figure dragging what seemed to be an image of a little girl.

 

[The_Dude]

It seems you have an intelligent manifestation. If it were risidual, it would have walked by the camera with no problem, but your camera was knocked over, so this is the corporeal manifestation of a deceased individual.A ghost, in other words.

these posts remind of the movie 'the sixth sense,' particularly when dr malcolm records his words, 'condition worse than i thought... visual hallucinations... hospitalization probably necessary...'

I ,however, am a firm believer in the paranormal and all spetral phenomenon and spiritual manifestations. I also stand by my original statement that my shrimp has been haunting me for 3 days.
