wondering if someone put a quarter in it while yer sittin' in it

Well smarty pants, sense you mention it.. I did indeed find two quarters when I was moving the cushions  

I just thought it was my tip from the sofa was all  

[MoparManJim]

Update, around 7AM this morning the sofa was viberating again. 

[jb666]

 

Jim... I done gone and think someone installed one of these things on your couch, for your enjoyment pleasure.



or maybe one of yer crazy friends put one of these here messaging dogs in the couch cushien???



Either way, Jim, this is my here suggestion:

[MoparManJim]

i would say the cushion but there was no cushions on the sofa this morning

Was there a breeze outside? The house could be resonating with the wind and sending it through your floors and up through your sofa

chill and enjoy the ride!

No, there was no breeze at all. I got up got a cup of coffee like I always do and set down on the sofa, was setting there and it dawn on me the sofa was viberating again  ... under my butt. I stuck my hand on the wall that is about 6 inches from the sofa.. nothing, stuck my hand on the floor to see if I could feel any viberation and again nothing. The cushion's was stack up over in the corner where I stuck them yesterday evening. That rules out the cushion theory I guess. I'm  starting to think I have a some what magic sofa anymore. But then again this isn't the first time strange things happen in this house.

You I have been thinking serouslly about checking into Ghost Hunters about afew things.

Because I have old photos here that had things appear in them that wasn't there when the photos was taken originally. Things my parents didn't even notice in the photos until years later down the road. 

[resq302]

Seriously, dude, I would call them.  I bet you have more going on in the house than you are aware of.  Lets face it, you pretty much debunked the couch.

[Todd Wilson]

Theres a vibration happening from something. The couch or springs in the couch is resonant to something.    Whats that old theory  was it Tesla  that had the idea that you could knock a building down with vibrations. Didnt Myth Busters do something on a bridge. I bet its the same prinicple thats happening here with your couch. I would be curious to see if rearranging your house would stop it.

Old skool telephones could ring and not even be plugged in due to vibrations.

Well so far, everything I though could be doing it isn't. I'm running out of thoughts on it to be honest. I thought like what's his name did about it being the cushion's but the other evening I took and stack them up in the corner and yesterday morning the sofa was viberating again so with out the cushions on it that leaves the cushion's thoery out. We know there isn't anything living inside it as I posted photos of that. Yesterday morning when it was going on I felt the floor and wall both and nothing was going on there either.

But I am going to rearrange afew things this weekend again and see what happens.

But could some one help me out here please and help me find the number for Ghost Hunters? I'm not sure where to start at. If rearranging the room over the weekend doesn't stop it then I will look into them. But I'm trying to debunk this on my own though. 

Also, thank you all for the suggestion's that have given me so far about this issue.

The Ghost Hunters will find something for sure, even if they have to rig it.

Well you know, even some of the stuff I seen on there dvds I have a hard time beliving in myself. But let me tell you, I do beleave in ghosts how ever. Plus I had sh!t happen to me when I was a kid in the house that happen right in front of my parents and still this day I have not debunked it yet.   

When I was a kid, I was setting on the floor next to a sofa that my late parents had in the living room. The hallway was just about 6 feet from me, the hallway itself is long then it turns to the right. Well I was around 5 or 6 years old when I was setting on my butt behind the sofa (It was in the middle of the room) and I was drugged down the hallway on my butt by something! My mom seen me getting pulled and got dads attention and they both jump up and came running. I stop at the end of the hallway just about, had a floor rash on my bottom from being pulled. All I remember was setting behind the sofa playing my toys at the time and then it felt like someone was playing like at grabbing my legs and feet and then the next I know it was like as if someone grabbed my feet and and just started to drag me across the floor. 

My mom also said one time she seen a man. A friend of ours gave my parents at the time afew things. My mom took afew mirrors that her friend gave her. She place the mirrors in the living room up on the wall, we had lights up on the wall also and nice nick nack shelf. Mom was setting on the sofa that her and dad had at the time and mom said see look up and  seen a man walk up to the mirror and look at her and then walk away from the mirror. I remember that day because mom left out a scream. The mirrors came down real fast and was taken out side.

C'mon!  Are you kidding me with that last story?     You were dragged down the hallway?

You havent proved that nothing is living in it. You proved that nothing was in it when you took the pictures. If it is something living, it will come and go. May enter the sofa at night or morning, and may sleep. May be gone for long periods of time, especially if it is a snake. Although a rodent will leave some type of mess, a snake will not leave any evidence at all.

I mentioned about the snake that comes into my garage. He leaves no trace. When I was small, my dad was a coal miner and we lived in a little mining town way out in the woods. Our house was the last one (or first one, depending how you looked at it), in the row, and right next to the deep woods, so we would have snakes come into the house all of the time. We would find them in the basement, furniture, closets, etc. We also had bats, reptiles, bugs, and just about every rodent coming into the house, and every other mammal you could think of wondering through our yard. We even had a huge black bear that would come up and scratch his back on the corner of the house at night. Talk about a scary sound when you are four years old!

So please dont rule out something living because it didnt show up in your pictures. The only way you will know for sure, is if you check when it is vibrating. But be careful! Move the sofa to a new location and see if it ever vibrates again. If it does, you will know its not the exact location that is causing it. Immediately try to snap some pictures inside it, but please wear thick gloves, and try not to stick your hand too far in. And dont look in either. Keep your face away.

C'mon!  Are you kidding me with that last story?     You were dragged down the hallway?   

Nope, I'm not kidding mister. Stuff like this I do not make up. I know what happen to me and I will not for get it either. Things showing up in photos that wasn't known to be there when they was originally taken. Like I said before, the sofa issue isn't the only thing that has happen in the house. I'll try to get some of the photos out this weekend if I have the time and photograph them. The photos are the old type the pilodes ones. The member that posted in another thread about the white house having a skull like thing show up in the house in the window is kinda nothing. I have photos that shows stuff at close range. 

Also about the sofa, before I cut the liner on the buttom, THERE was no way anything could get inside of it. The thing was well sealed shut with afew liners all around the edges. I had to peel the black linner back and it had dozens of staples in it and under that was a canvest like liner that was indeed strach tightly across the bottom and also nailed and stampled to all the edges which I had to use the ecto knife to cut through.And if there was something living in it, don't you think they would have been nasty droppings of some sign inside it? That thing is clean inside and even the photos shows that. But I am still searching the sofa for any signs on how anything can still get in it though as I'm feeling every cranny up with my hand.. if there is a way for something to get inside it I will find it. But so far what I thought could be the cause isn't and so far it has me puzzled I might add and that very rarely happens with me 

[MoparManJim]

Okay guys, I have something I'm not sure what to make of now. Last night I decided to sleep on the sofa as I was tired and was already relaxing.. well some time around I would have to say 6am it was when the sun was starting to come up. Now I'm still trying to figure this one out yet and decide if I was hearing things (mind playing tricks) or if I really did hear something. I was just starting to wake up but I swear I heard something say something by the sofa.. something along the lines of "hey.." after a sound or two past my eyes came open real fast and I jump up real fast looking around to see if anyone was in the house as that is what I thought for afew seconds. I'm not sure if my ears was playing a trick on me from me sleeping or if I did indeed hear something in the room. It's kind of spooky not knowing if your mind is playing tricks on you or if you really hearing something when your coming till. I know when your tired that your mind likes to play tricks on you  , but sense the sofa issue last week I been trying to stay on my feet at all times    , Yes call me paranoid

what year was your house built?

[MoparManJim]

what year was your house built?

I'm not sure to be honest. 

[BigBlackDodge]

Wow Jim!

You have either inhaled to much model glue over the years (you may want to stick with the snap together models from here out )or there's something going on with that couch.

What sticks in my mind is that your Aunt had the same issues with it in her house. I believe that 99% of what people think are ghosts can be explained in a logical manor, theres always that 1% though that can't be explained.

I have a close friend who lived in a house in Covington Ga who claimed her house was haunted. She showed me a picture of her brother sitting in a chair and on the wall behind him it looked like someone had splashed acid/paint remover on the wall.....the paint was all bubbly looking. The funky part on the wall extened down below the chair in the pic, it did not wash over the chair or him in the picture like one would expect a bad development would do. I've seen the wall......there is nothing there at all like it in the pic.

They've seen large glowing balls of light, wierd hand prints on the wall and once a relatives sock turned up missing, it was found out in the yard behind the well pump later that day. They didn't have any kids or pets at the time in the  house that could have been playing around. They never felt threatened in any way but they decided against buying the house (they were renting) when an offer came along.

BOO!

LOL how many times do I have to say it, I don't use model glue, I use the real stuff as in CA glue. The model glue has that cent to it like fruit and if I use that kind of glue I would be  smelling it more then using it  , that's why I use CA glue for the last 20 years as I don't trust myself with the model glue and there cent  besides, if I'm building a model, I want the model to stay togother down the road NOT fall apart with the rubber glue. CA glue the part doesn't come apart so easy   

But I think there is something going on with the sofa though.. or it just likes to vibrate peoples butt's is all.

What sticks in my mind is that your Aunt had the same issues with it in her house. I believe that 99% of what people think are ghosts can be explained in a logical manor, theres always that 1% though that can't be explained.

I'm thinking that also and that is why she gave it to me for. Like I said before, I have nothing against the sofa at all, I like it but only if I could figure out why the heck it vibrates for from time to time though. But now about the other part, how would you explain to me about what drag me down the hall way when I was a kid though? I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Mostly I try to debunk the stuff but some of the stuff I tryed to debunk and still haven't yet. I know what you mean about alot of things can be explained but there is that few % that can't be though. I always try to break the issues down into steps myself to solve them.

I have a close friend who lived in a house in Covington Ga who claimed her house was haunted. She showed me a picture of her brother sitting in a chair and on the wall behind him it looked like someone had splashed acid/paint remover on the wall.....the paint was all bubbly looking.

I've seen the wall......there is nothing there at all like it in the pic.

That would be creepy. I also know what you mean about the photo to, I have one that my dad took of me and my mom and grand dad and cousin's in, in the house standing at the wall next to the hall way. The photo was taken back in mid 1980 at least and when the photo came out of the camera and we all look at it we didn't take notice to the photo that much until it was around early 1990 when we was looking at the photo and notice something in the photo. There was dog in it out in front of my cousin's and in front of my grand dad. We ask each other that was looking at the photo trying to remember the dog being there and everyone and my dad said there was no dog at all in the house of the time of the photo. My mom showed the photo to my grand dad (past away 14 years ago) if he knew the dog. He not only knew the dog but rather it was his old dog that had been gone for 30 years (he said)  . There it was in the photo.. talk about a chill going up the ol backbone when he said it. The strange thing is other folks from time to time that would visit my grand dad and us that at times claim they seen a dog of that color running into the house also but wasn't sure if it was a dog though and they didn't know about the photo either so it kinda made sense in a creepy way. Even my mom thought afew times she seen a dog run past the front yard real fast but when she look again there was nothing in the yard. 

They've seen large glowing balls of light, wierd hand prints on the wall and once a relatives sock turned up missing, it was found out in the yard behind the well pump later that day. They didn't have any kids or pets at the time in the  house that could have been playing around.

That would be creepy, I mean to can't find a sock and then find it later way out side like that and not having animals or children makes it even more creepy. Because for one how did it get out there and 2nd by who or what. Around the house here I don't feel threaten either but I will admit that at times I do feel like I am being watch though or someone is standing next to me at times, it's a strange feeling to describe. 

[MoparManJim]

Okay, I have a update here on the issue. I'm not sure if this could be it or not so I'm not 100% sure yet but while I was doing some research on the net. the gaswell people are back working on the gaswell today and using big dump trucks to haul dirt back in. The gaswells are running. Guess what else? Yep the sofa is vibrating also. I stuck my hand on the wall and didn't feel anything, BUT when I place my hand on the floor and I didn't feel anything either not until I press my hand down alittle harder then what I always do and I can feel the foam under the carpet very slighly vibrating also. At first I thought it was a heart beat in my hand making me think it.. but when I put my hands togother and press hard to see I could notice I had no heart beat in my hand though (I debunk that theory real fast). But the trucks are back there moving around and the gas well is running so this "might be" the case of the vibrating sofa  ? The gaswell yesterday (or it might have been the day before it) morning was also running but I didn't think anything of it though.  But I just set down on the sofa for afew minutes and notice it had a slight vibe to it again.
