 Claudia Ackley wanted to start a World Wide PTSD Help Group and a Fund for victims to get to Safety. She is deceased after her house was surrounded by them. 

Surrounded by who?

Surrounded by who?

Bigfoot and Dog Man?

Bigfoot and Dog Man?

Then kicker is PTSD can include "hypervigilance."

So you can feel the likes of a constant sense of threat.

Where it can feel like people are watching you, judging you, or that something bad is about to happen, even when you're safe.

If left untreated/undiagnosed, the paranoia can really set in.

Next thing you know, you are boiling pots and pans of water.

And placing them behind doors, and next to windows, because of perceived threats.

Kind of the reason i suggested anybody who feels that way, or similar, should probably talk to a professional.

As the sanity they save can only be your own. 

True story(in a former life long, long ago).

When I was in digs with my final exams two days ago all the other students had gone.  It was a big old house, just me and my landlords girlfriend.  My landlord was a bit of a local hardcase.

That night her ex broke in.  Kicked her door in.  I was in the room next door.

So I went in, he was raping her on the floor.

So I told him to get the fuck out of here.  He jumped up (he was bigger than me) and pinned me to the wall and told me I was a dead man but he left.

Landlord came round, took her away.  Came back, told me to put bottles round the windows in case he broke in again, gave me a case of beer and a pick axe handle which I slept with, terrified.

Somehow I passed my Finals.

Landlord came round, took me for many pints and told me the guy wouldn't be a problem anymore.  What with having his head blown off and being at the bottom of the Manchester ship canal.

Fight or flight.  You never know until shit happens.

Indeed.

Your body decides for you.

Freezing is the worst thing to do.

And you did not freeze....

Thanks for that reminder...

Yeah... hypervigilance can become a subtle tortuous (and self-damaging) minefield. 

So subtle... you need someone to shine a light on it...

and hopefully not as a personal flaw or weakness, but as a wound that needs to heal.

A very slippery slope is how i would put it.

The kicker being you can get to like the slide.

Which is where the self-damaging part comes into play i suppose.

Some wounds never heal all the same.

It's the way we handle the scars that's the ticket.

And sometimes we all need a helping hand.

Paul, you are in the science, mystery, and paranormal forum.

Debate is exactly what we do here.

As to safe places, the entire website constitutes such.

And if you ever don't feel safe, let one of the staff know.

Perfectly said, thank you!

This all sounds like paranoid schizophrenia, or some other kind of mental illness.

Almost sounds like an intervention is needed here.
