Ok so, I had this unexplained experience as a kid, around 10 years ago, and wanted to share now that i found this community. Being honesty, I'm a very skeptical person, more than I should be considering this experience and others I've had, but I'm fascinated by supernatural stuff, and would love to see the opinionsa and explanations, supernatural or not, of people eho are more knowledgeable on the subject.
Basically, i used to have an imaginary friend when i was a kid (around 5 to 7 y.o). One day, on a holiday, some relatives at my house. It was night, my cousins and sister where swinging on a hammock, and my aunts and uncle where sitting around it, talking. I wanted to get on the hammock, but my sister and cousins where teasing me by not letting me, so i said " I'm gonna call Teteco (Imaginary friend's name) and he's gonna blow you off the hammock". Now, I don't remember if there was wind, and almost no one else seems to remember either, but my sister said there wasn't. The important thing is, as soon as I said that, the hammock suddently started violently swinging in an unnatural way, almost throwing them out the hammock. It swung so much it could probably hit the ceiling of the veranda. I don't remember if i was scared at the time, but everyone ran into the house, my cousin (who was around 18) even cried, and my grandma wrote J.M.J (Jesus, Mary and Joseph) on every door and window. Even after that, the hammock kept swinging for some time. Even now, my sister and my grandma don't like me to say his name or even talk about it. Personally, I'm not really scared when i think or talk about it, since I was a kid, but it does still creep me out a bit.
