The one my friends and I saw was so powerful it could nearly push our SUV off the road and left some giant handprints one the back of the vehicle. One on many experiences with said entity. I would not consider such entities safe.

Also if you don’t want a Christian cleansing, some native Americans and wiccans do cleansings too.

I did do a bit of documenting on other sites that are mostly dead or defunct these days; maybe I could eventually get around to selecting a snippet or two for inclusion here. It's crazy stuff indeed, and nowadays I'm mostly headed in a similar but different direction.

I tend to try and focus more on the quality of my writing these days as opposed to back then, and probably wouldn't even go there unless at least indirectly prompted and/or in a semi-hypnopompic state from a recent nap like right now.

With respect to "fleeting" and peripheral images. I tried to understand why such occurrences can only be observed in this manner and not 'head-on'; then this proposal occurred to me:

Given that the way the human visual mechanism functions with light energy reflecting off objects to not only alter the frequency of the light as a function of color, but to also allow for any perception of an object at all, so the idea here is that the physical density of some beings/entities is not material enough to actually reflect light energy, so it just passes right through them which in effect renders them imperceptible to the visual mechanism.

So the actions of the above just results in this "fleeting" obscurity where these things are oblivious to mundane 'protocols', but still remain vaguely observable in some circumstances such as peripheral sightings even though the proper criteria for 'seeing' is apparently incomplete, i.e. there may always exist exceptions to certain rules and in this particular case it's the rules of direct versus indirect observation.

There is a pre-eminent psychiatrist with a wealth of experience in a specific area of the paranormal. I won't name as I am posting a thread on him soon. He says that paranormal manifestations seen with the eyes are due to hallucinations, often a part of mental illness, whereas the same manifestations seen with the mind are more likely to be paranormal.

I am not sure if I agree with him although a few respondents on this thread and the one I posted on ATS agree. If it is psychotic mental illness there would be other symptoms and a change in mood. I don't have any of these. I most certainly don't have delusions which often accompanies hallucinations in a mental illness context.  I covered the effect of compounded medications in Part 2.

FCD mentioned in this thread that I should consider any problems with my eyes.  I did have a posterior vitreous detachment in 2019 which happens to 70% of the population by the age of 65.  I also had surgery for a right droopy eyelid (ptosis) in 2020 with further revision surgery in 2021.  This is still ongoing with further surgery planned.  I have also suffered with very dry eyes  since 2020 which the ophthalmologist prescribed drops for during the day and some thick oil like substance for sleeping with.  This is only recent though as I was using OTC eye drops prior to this year.

Some might say this would account for the manifestations I have experienced. If this is the case then my mother along with the cats would not be seeing the same thing. My eye problems do have symptoms but they are different and more regular.

• odd knocks and noises at night
  
• odd smells
  
• waking up at around 3am with an oppressive heavy atmosphere in the room problems with the security alarm going off in the early hours (different sensors on consecutive nights with no plausible reason). It has not happened since.
  
• halogen bulbs constantly blowing
  
• seeing very dark shapes during the night (no lights turned on) prior to falling asleep
  
• my bedroom light being turned on and off frequently during the night despite my loud snoring as reported by my mother
  
• waking up to scratches on my body
  
• pressure on my bed like someone sitting down - it happened frequently both day and night
  
• rapid pummeling on my mattress at the foot of my bed then racing up to the top of the bed, stopping dead where I was sat with my legs hunched up
  
• being slapped while asleep
  
• having my left big toe pinched like a clamp which was very painful and woke me up
  
• visited one night by a very dark shape and printed on this shape was a body, arms and face but no legs
