Some weird occurrences that are troubling me - Part 2

[k0rn]

I have had some experiences with 7 foot tall shadow entities in the past. Might even have some footage somewhere if I could find an affordable 8mm player that works. 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.

Thanks for the feedback.

The more I read the more I realise I have got off lightly with paranormal events compared to others.

It has been a number of weeks since the last paranormal episode so I am not going to rock the boat for now.

I would be very interested in reading anything you write on DI relating to paranormal events.
 

Yeah, I actually only looked at this thread yesterday, and I've experienced many/most of the phenomena in his initial listing which I would assume is a product of an experiment I started back in 2015 which still lingers on to this day as a stripped down version that I preserved akin to that of an esoteric/occult nature or a watered down more docile Banshee Chapter type scenario.

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.

I could make a separate thread on what was discussing regarding the shadow figure. I would have to divide it up into sections because I am using a last gen iPad which likes to randomly refresh the page I am trying to type. I have never posted about it online before. Either way, my friends and I were able to learn that ghosts were real. In this case it appears to have been a very tormented spirit. Perhaps reliving its death over and over until someone came by and gave it the power to go after us.

I look forward to reading it.

Unexplained events/issues started happening in 2018 such as:

• fleeting images of something black (approximately 12 x 12 inches in size)
  

I've experienced some of this, similar somewhat in nature to the shadow person phenomenon; often times though in my particular case I could never be absolutely certain that I actually saw something.

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.

A reasonable explanation, one that I hadn't considered. Something that did occur to me is if these visions are seen physically or seen in the head. 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.

I actually prefer your explanation of these fleeting manifestations although some may call it specious.

Thanks for posting this.

There is a direct correlation between certain drugs(or combinations thereof) and paranormal manifestations, although the entire gamut of cause would be more open-ended.

Altered states of consciousness(ASC) is just one catalyst in which paranormal manifestations may occur. The various sleep states as well as abnormal mental defects/anomalies may (or may not) induce significant ASC as well.

There are also direct correlations between certain modes of consciousness and the paranormal manifestations that they may produce, so this would be like a cause-and-effect type relationship where there is a "mental" cause that manifests a "physical" effect – an observation of this "effect".

So in the case of the above there might be a single individual serving/acting as 'conduit' causing a manifestation that has substance or is 'real' in some way where other people(or animals) might pick up on this as well via their own faculties of sensing/observing.

Some of this is akin to opening portals/doorways to parallel realities causing these paranormal manifestations that may not be solely peculiar to the "conduit" themselves which is why your "mother and cats" could also be included as observers.

It seems as though certain modes of consciousness may act as a sort of biological transmitter/receiver broadcasting these tenuous 'frequencies' either into the aether, some invisible reality superimposed upon our own, or both, and this goes with the old line of thought that some obscure being/entity might develop interest or attachment if it knows that you can see it or at least be aware of it and are in some way affected by it.

This is just one single analysis more or less of a likely multi-faceted thing here, and as far as the "floaters", I notice those on occasion too if I happen to be fixed on anything with a white or light background but with the larger vitreous detachments depending on how/if/where they are moving they might also cause dark fleeting images of a specific shape/size, but it's also important to be aware that any similar "effect" may have separate unrelated "causes" which is not likely but possible.

Thanks for this info CC. These incidents stopped abruptly for 3 years.  There was no change in my medication at that time.  My mood/well-being did not change either.  I have looked at every aspect of my life during that time period and there were no changes I am aware of.  There were also no changes when this issue reappeared 3 years later. I had not considered the 'portals/doorways to parallel realities' as a reason.  I had not considered a combination as an explanation either.  Something for me to think about.

Unexplained events/issues started happening in 2018 such as:

• small items disappearing and showing up several days later
  
• feeling like something was watching me
  
• 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
  

But no sleep paralysis? I had numerous bouts of SP throughout all this, and while the above quoted items may not exactly match my own experience(post-2015) they are more or less relatable which is why I included them.

With me it was the smoke alarm going off at 5:55 AM for no reason, and the time turned out to be relevant as all throughout the day I kept seeing number patterns consisting of only three of more fives. I saw it on license plates, post counts, and I don't even remember what else, but it was a lot.

I don't really have much belief/interest in banishings and this would have been counterproductive anyway as I was more of a paranormal instigator at the time; these sorts of things tend to diminish on their own over time anyway.

I have no recollection of sleep paralysis episodes during this or throughout the course of my life.  The seeing 5's is both strange and interesting. I have not come across similar incidents.  How long did it last? Did it cease when the paranormal activity stopped or reduced?

We have gone a whole month with no paranormal activity but it came to an end last night. I heard my mother moan around 3-40 am and got up to see if she was ok.  She has been having problems with pain in her lower legs. The pain was bad and she had not slept. While spraying magnesium on her lower legs she told me she had seen something peculiar around 30 minutes previously. She described it as a static white cloud in the corner of her bedroom towards the ceiling. There was no movement within the cloud.  It lasted for several minutes.
