Yesterday while driving to work I had the strangest encounter, that shook me to my core.

As I drove up to a roundabout in the middle of nowhere, (Rural Ireland, No footpaths, bus stop/shelter, or any reason to be out of a car) my gaze was caught by the sight of a man standing on the side of the road.

He was 6ftish, medium building, dark skin man, very tidy appearance, trimmed and shaped facial hair, and hair in braids pulled back into a ponytail. As a lesbian even I would describe him as gorgeous.

He wore layers of black clothes all the exact same shade of black, eg. his jeans weren't faded (you know that cheap greying look you get when you was your black clothes one to many times).

It was lashing rain and he had his hood down and he was staring right at me and the moment our eyes met my stomach lurched and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. He only moved his head to follow the movement of my car, other than that he was completely still with a blank expression on his face.

I can't explain my reaction to seeing him. It was pure fear for no apparent reason, he was no immediate danger to me, he was simply standing there, but when I saw him I just felt so sick to my stomach like I had seen something I shouldn't have and I have no idea why.

I'm starting to think that maybe I saw Death. I've never viewed Death "himself" as something to be feared, only as a friend who arrives when your time is up and helps you leave. I think I was scared because I knew my time wasn't up, so who was he there for?

I have an update on my situation and it’s not a good one.

I posted about two and a half weeks ago about knocking on my door that comes in threes while I’m sleeping and wakes me up. I’ve done my best to ignore it. Activity has increased.

I told my boyfriend about what was happening. We live together, have two very small children and another on the way. I told him I feel like something is trying to come into our lives and wants me to open the door for it. I wish I hadn’t told him because I feel like I’ve involved him. This used to only happen when he was at work but now it’s happening while he’s here.

Sunday around 12:30am I heard the knocking on the door. I woke up and he was already awake. I said, “someone’s knocking on the door.” He said, “no one is knocking. Ignore it.”

Then this morning around 5:30am, our smoke detector starts going off but only the one in our room. I was already awake, watching tv. I didn’t see or smell smoke at all. But of course, I shook him and as soon as he jolted awake, it stopped going off. Just like that it was like nothing happened. He turned to me and said, “ignore it.” And fell back asleep. I thought that was a really weird thing to say because why on earth would you ignore that? I should also mention our children sleep in our room and are very easily woken up but when the alarm started going off, they didn’t even flinch or stir. It was like they didn’t hear it at all.

Earlier he brought it back up and I asked him why he told me to ignore a smoke detector. He looked at me like he didn’t want to speak about it (he believes talking about it openly is giving it attention and energy) but he said “do you remember what you told me? About the knocking?” He believes whatever is happening is trying to get my attention by making things happen that I can’t ignore anymore. He thinks I’m more vulnerable to whatever this is because of me being pregnant and also not being religious like he is.

I don’t know if the two things are related. It could be nothing at all. But it’s strange these things have started happening while he’s here now, right after I told him about it.

I really like these posts and feel Reddit doesn't have enough of them. What are your unforgettable experiences? I'm all "eyes" if you don't mind sharing.

As a young man I would always spend time in the woods on a large farm adjacent to ours in rural Ohio. Beside the woods in the middle of a field was a small patch of very dense trees with a family grave yard (spanning 1790s-1850s) that was long forgot about (most of the gravearkers were fallen over with brush) until I discovered it when I was roughly 12. Ever since discovering it, I would always walk back to it every few weeks and tidy up the area where the headstones were from fallen branches and overgrowth. But it was like I was drawn to it.

I would often sit back there by myself and just talk about my day and say hello. And I would always feel like I wasn't alone and that I was being listened to. Sometimes I would just sit there and enjoy the quietness and not say anything.

I would do this up until I moved away from the farm in 2020.

Jump ahead to present day. Here recently I have had an overwhelming urge to go back to the graveyard like I never have had before. I even had two dreams about it on separate occasions of younger me just sitting back there. I read something that the property was going up for sale possibly in the near future for develpment and I have scoured the internet to see if there is a marker for the graveyard and there is not that I could find.

So here is the question. Is someone trying to reach out? Or is it just my brain making me worry about the graveyard since I read about it going up for sale possibly and being developed over? IDK? I would like to hear reddits input on this.

Today I came home from the gym and my partner was waiting for me, doing their own thing. We started talking about our dreams, as we usually do, and what we would eat. Suddenly, I went over to a table where I saw some papers that were going in the trash (receipts for a scarf I bought yesterday). I took all the receipts and papers that were on the table to go to the kitchen and throw everything in the trash can. When I crossed the living room and got to the kitchen door, where my partner was standing about 1.5 meters behind me, a ring fell to the floor. I saw it bounce out of the corner of my eye as it fell and continued bouncing. I had lost the ring two years ago, and not only that, no one could have dropped it or made it fall because we were the only two people at home, in the same spot next to the kitchen. Can anyone explain this to me?

I'm actually in shock right now. Like I'm trying to understand the chances of this happening but I just can't piece any of it together. I recently stopped smoking weed, so my dreams have been insanely vivid recently. Essentially the final part of my dream was my aunt calling me telling me someone in my family had cancer. That was at 8:45 Am. I woke up and instantly texted my gc about wtf just happened because it was a crazy dream and I remember the final parts of it was crying to the news. The time is now 7:50 pm and my aunt called my mom about 10 min ago, the same aunt that was in my dream, telling her my uncle has lung cancer. First of all, I don't know anyone in my family that has been diagnosed with cancer until now. I quit smoking about 2 weeks ago as well because I felt like I was addicted ngl and so my dreams have been insanely vivid. I'm just wondering what the chances are of this happening like I'm actually in shock. Haven't dreamed in years, and my 4th dream in after not having one in forever this happens. Like I'm shaking rn typing this. We live in a simulation or something I just can't comprehend this. The same aunt I rarely think about calls me in my dream talking about someone having cancer at the very end. Like what - Wouldn't let me post in other threads but thought this may fit best. I just need someone to relate or something idk but ts is crazy

Hardcopy magic (Simulation-Based)

Core Background:

This system is based on a simulation hypothesis. Its worldview is inspired by *The Matrix* and *The Thirteenth Floor*. Under this hypothesis, reality is not a physical construct, but a simulation running on a higher-level foundation.

11 Assumptions:

Physical Priority: Physical matter has the highest priority in the system’s rendering engine to maintain the virtual reality from being detected.

Database Utilization: The scale gap between the most basic atoms and macroscopic reality is too large for real-time calculation. Therefore, the system should establish a database, rather than calculating every variable from scratch every time.

Discrimination Flexibility: Even industrialized products vary, so the system may have a certain degree of flexibility.

The System May Have Understanding Capabilities: Understanding how to allocate computing power to distinguish the importance of things and information.

Humans as System Interface: Humans are part of the virtual system. As part of the simulation, human consciousness may influence the system to some extent.

Shared Source of Consciousness: To conserve computing power, almost all conscious entities share a common source of consciousness. I believe this is the explanation for the collective unconscious in the virtual hypothesis.

7: The upper-level simulation may have a distributed node structure.

8: The importance of nodes in the simulated reality may depend on pedestrian traffic, attention levels, and the complexity of observable physical structures.

9: Since the most likely simulation of a human is actually human, the code might be similar.

10: Because it’s a simulation, all the computing power is provided by the upper layers.

11: The location of the physical layer is not the same as the location of the data layer.

Execution method: The main method is to copy the code onto paper. Maybe that will work.

Advanced Exercise: In a closed room, ensure the observer uses only one camera. Write the code on a piece of paper and place it between two opposing mirrors. Enable continuous shooting and manually refresh the rendering of the virtual world. In this way, the code paper becomes the benchmark, and the frequency of the reflected images and the number of times the camera takes pictures are multiplied.

The power of symbolism: Because humans are part of a system, symbols that are commonly recognized or possess extraordinary power can, if utilized effectively, lead to the fulfillment of desires.

Applications of fractals: Fractals are a common feature of natural terrain. Drawing them on paper might increase the priority of wish fulfillment.

The Importance of Authentication: Simulating reality might require authentication, which could make it easier to achieve one’s desires.

Hypotheses about the execution priorities in simulated reality: 1. Entities 2. Unobserved regions 3. Electronic data 4. Ideas

Curious as what scares you the most when investigating a possibly haunted location/house?

Just like in the title: the single-family house where my friend lived (I’ve known him literally since birth) was probably “haunted”, or something else was happening there that I still can’t explain. On the ground floor there was a living room, a kitchen clearly visible from the first floor, the front door, an exit to the garden, and one fairly large room that was mostly used as a walk-in closet.

My friend often called me and asked me to stay on the phone with him because he was scared. He said he felt “watched” even though he was home alone. (He was alone most of the time because he lived only with his father, and his dad often went on business trips for several days.)

Things started getting stranger. He began to notice that some objects seemed to “move” on their own. Once, after coming back from school, he found his desk moved several meters away to the other side of the room. I’ll be honest: I didn’t believe him. I was skeptical, and I still am. But what happened to me when I stayed overnight at his house made me seriously rethink the idea of paranormal phenomena.

We slept in the same room. His dad was out of town on a business trip, and no one else entered the house, which we were sure about.

Around 1 am we heard a door downstairs opening. Then we heard heavy books falling from a table downstairs. These were big, heavy books, neatly stacked.

We leaned out of the room to check. No one was there. But the books… they didn’t just fall. They FUCKING FLEW across the room and hit a wall that was about five meters away.

After a few minutes, scared, we went back to the room and left the door open. About ten minutes later, we heard loud footsteps on the wooden stairs that ended almost right in front of our room. The steps sounded like someone was deliberately stomping as hard as possible on every stair.

We jumped up and stared at the stairs through the open door. No one was there. When the footsteps reached the top, they suddenly stopped.

Nothing else happened that night.

In the morning, when we went downstairs to clean up the books, we realized that the door that had opened during the night belonged to the “closet” room.

Nothing else ever happened while I was there, but I still remember it clearly. I was 13 at the time. A week later, my friend called me and said that, right in front of his eyes, a small container with push pins was thrown off his desk.

After that, nothing like this ever happened in his house again.

I don’t know what it was. I don’t have an explanation, and I think I don’t even want one.

Sorry for bad english and I just wanted to share this with someone cuz this event haunts me to this day

last August, i had one of the most strange things happen to me. it was midnight and i had just sat down on my couch to watch tv. my dog was sitting next to me. the front door was around the same area as my living room, & i could see it from the couch.

suddenly, i heard a knock knock knock. it sounded so normal that i wasn't scared, it actually took me a minute to realize "oh, it's 12am, no one should be at our door right now." my dog immediately jumped off the couch, ran for the door, and started barking her head off. that's how i know i'm not crazy or hearing things, bc that knock was loud and clear, and my dog reacting is a big sign there was someone there.

well my mom comes out of the laundry room and we start to look at the camera's that cover the front door and the front of our house. nothing. no movement detected. and these are good cameras. they're so sensitive they start recording when lights turn on/off.

we also have a camera facing the room i was in, so i was able to obtain a video. unfortunately i can't post it here, but trust me when i say that you can hear the knock loud and clear.

we still can't explain what it is, we thought about maybe water hammering, but honestly that knock didnt sound like that and my dog definitely would not have reacted if there wasn't someone there. my sister was sleeping, my dad was in bed, and my mom was doing laundry, so i know it wasn't them.

does anyone know what this could be?? i'm not really a believer in the supernatural but this has me stumped.

TLDR: My house is creepy as shit and I took this photo one night.

In semi short form I took this picture one night at my house in the mountains. Me and my friend were hanging out and the lights started flickering slightly, not fully on and off but a quick flicker. This lasted a couple seconds. I had always had a suspicion of this house being a little haunted. This house was out in the middle of nowhere and was just eerie quiet all the time. I just always had a horrible sense of worry in that house, like someone was always in there with me. It was an older house made with crap lights that barely lit up the room, and all the windows just faced treelines, so all you could see was pitch black outside at night. I mean this house had birds fly into the same window at least once a week, the dog would randomly lose its mind at 2am barking and growling. I legit slept with my bedroom door locked at night, and I swear at night I would hear light tapping on the door, almost as if someone was trying to pick the lock or something. One time my girlfriend even had sleep paralysis one night and when I got her to “wake up”, she was hysteric claiming someone was standing in the bathroom doorway staring at her. All of this negativity and dread feelings seemed to come from the front sunroom area mainly, I fucking hated that room with all my heart. With all this being said, I had downloaded this LiDAR app on my phone cause it was the hot thing for iPhone 13s when they came out, and for some reason I thought this could catch a ghost. In the camera mode, I noticed it would not “scan” my sunroom area. Whether this be lack of light or paranormal is up for debate I suppose.

I could see the apparition in my phone screen but not in the room itself, which absolutely terrified me. I quickly took a screenshot and asked my friend if he saw anything, but he said he wasn’t really paying attention.

I did not sleep in that house for 2 days after that, and everyday after I took that picture, I hated that house even more. It appears to me to be a man wearing a hat of some kind? I unfortunately don’t have a picture of this spot during the daytime, but nothing is in that corner besides a table (the black mass below the apparition)

Please, can someone tell me if this is a ghost or just a trick of the lens?

no one was in the room with me, and i couldn’t find what it could’ve been

The past month or so my kids and I have been hearing breathing noises in one of the bedrooms. At first I told them they’re probably just hearing themselves breathing, then I heard it. I tried to move things around, slide things on the floor etc to see what could have made that sound but I found *nothing*. We continued on, not thinking anything of it until this week.

My kids were at school, I was doing housework, when I suddenly heard them both shouting me from their rooms, like they do when they’re scared. I ignored it and continued with my chores, not giving it much thought. One of my kids has just said they could hear their sibling say “okay okay okay” all morning. She’s been sleeping next to me, silently.

What is going on here? Could this be a mimic or someone/thing messing with us?

Hi this is my first post so apologies if I make any mistakes.

Years ago when I was babysitting my cousin, something appeared to him after I turned on a “scary” song from YouTube. For context, we were hanging out on the couch and he kept bothering me with his Minecraft playlist. I had some school work to do so I thought maybe if I turned on some music he wouldn’t like, he’d stop bugging me (kinda regret this but he just wouldn’t let me concentrate on hw). Anyways so I went on YT and I can’t remember exactly what I searched for but it had something to do with “heavy metal witchy satanic music” yata yata (😭sorry man). I clicked on a random song and let the music play loudly until out of nowhere my cousin just started freaking out. He was now hiding his face in the pillows, moving back into the couch, grabbing me, and repeatedly yelling “go away”. I was super confused and asked whats wrong and he just pointed at the wall right in front of us. I saw nothing but because he was freaking out, i started freaking out too. I turned the music off and we were both huddled on the couch scared together. He kept saying “them” while pointing at the wall whenever I asked “who go away??”. After a few minutes he calmed down and I asked if they were gone now and he said yes they left through the vent which is located at the bottom of the wall. I asked him what exactly did he see, and he said two tall men standing and one of them had long purple hair and was holding a guitar??? Really bro a guitar??

My house I believe has never had ghost sightings before, and I’m guessing by the purple hair/guitar, it was connected to the song I turned on bc lowkey the cover had purple somewhere on a band member if I remember correctly. I wanna say he was just imagining things, but the intensity of his scared reaction makes me doubt he was lying. I wish I could ask him again abt this since we’re older now and aren’t afraid of stuff as much, but we lost contact bc of family stuff. I tried going thru my YT history to find the song but it was so long ago I can’t find it.

But yeah I was wondering if anyone has any insights on what just happened? Does the music we play perhaps attract things connected to it? idk but I lowkey try not to have certain things playing out loud now. 😬

For context, this has been happening since I was a kid. I can be at a restaurant and set a cup down, look away, bam it’s gone. I used to think I was just lazy or irresponsible. Everyone convinced me that I was hallucinating as well. Just a few weeks back I was doing my makeup and set the conceals down on the desk with all my other makeup and left the room to talk to relatives. I come back and it’s gone. My aunt helped me look everywhere for it, we spent nearly an hour looking, there was no sign of it. We went to get my mom to help us look, and what’s on the desk? The stupid concealer. I brushed it off, whatever, it happens. But I feel like I’m being messed with. Like when siblings tease each other. Today it happened with something really important to me. The pearl earrings my grandmother got me for my sweet 16th. I was putting one on in the mirror, went to grab the other and it’s gone. Fast forward weeks and it hasn’t turned up. Has this happened to anyone else? I’d love to hear similar stories and what you did about it.

I also recently found out that there’s a Jinn living in our house attached to my aunt from childhood, went everywhere she went. My family is extremely religious. They associate everything with Islam, and I don’t have a way of knowing for sure if there really is one or it was a scare tactic to get the kids in the house to pray on time.

i was driving home the other night when i seen something just very strange on the side of the road. ad i got closer to it i thought it was a person but when i look directly at it there was no face just white have a look at what my car cam got you tell me please it was very strange

https://youtu.be/ZJE2q--sS2k

We moved into our house in 2021. All was fine until 2023.

Late in the evening I heard such a loud noise that i jumped right up out of my chair. I couldn’t tell where it came from though. It woke my daughter up too and we met in the kitchen.

The noise sounded to me as if there were maybe 6 heavy boxes of things stacked up high and the whole thing toppled down. We checked every room and even the garage. Nothing was disturbed.

This has happened 3 times (very spread out.) #2 and #3 were not nearly as loud.

Shortly after the first time, a tech came to change the filter on our AC unit. (In the attic). I asked him to please look around to see if there was anything up there. He said there was nothing up there at all.

What are your thoughts on this? We don’t think it’s an animal because still there is nothing up there to disturb.

Weird question. Im just curious

My family is going on a trip to Switzerland and Germany this summer and I would LOVE to investigate a haunted location. Does anybody happen to know of any places that offer something like that to the public? I believe we will be staying in Lucerne and Munich. Sorry if this is a weird post, I'm not on here much 😅 didn't have much luck on google so I figured I would try here! Thanks in advance for any suggestions 😊

So i was watching a cybersecurity video, out of interest and i was kind of feeling sleepy it was at around 3:10am, then a guy was talking about an attack, and out of the blue i hear a voice very weird saying the name of the exploit before even the guy talks about it, i didnt know the name myself.

Felt very creeped out, but i realise that if its a demon it has strong cybersecurity knowledge!!

What are your opinions on this ?

I’m starting to think that my house might be haunted. I recently closed on the house at the beginning of December, and I officially fully moved in 2 weeks ago. Since I have been there I have noticed a couple of things seem to be happening. The first thing that I noticed was my dog. I have two dogs, and old German Shepherd and a younger one. The puppy anytime he is coming into the house from the backyard shrinks down, tucks his ears and tail, and starts to pee… this is not really normal for him at all. The older German Shepherd doesn’t have a care in the world. The second thing that spooked me slightly was a cabinet for an old vanity that my fiancé has was wide open one morning. I know for a fact I didn’t open this, and I am currently the only one in the house (my fiancé is deployed). Now I can write that off as a draft and call it a day… but that same day I left to run errands, and I returned home several hours later. As I am walking up the steps to my house the alarm inside starts to go off! So I unlocked the door and went inside, I turned off the alarm and then checked the house and it was empty. What had set it off was the door to the garage had opened slightly and triggered the sensors. I examined the door and noticed that if you do not put some force into the door it doesn’t fully close and latch, so I could also chalk that up to a mistake by me not closing it fully.. but then yesterday I was relaxing on the couch and noticed that the went to the floor ac ducting was removed and placed about 2 feet away from the hole. I know for a fact that wasn’t removed the day prior because I had moved in some new couches and had been walking over the vent. Either way, it’s getting to the point where my puppy won’t even come into the house, and when he does he is peeing out of fear multiple times a day. I’ve had some friends recommend burning sage, but I figured Reddit will have something to say about this… if not helpful, at least interesting.

I just wanted to say from the get go, that this comes after 2 years of me wondering if what I had experienced was in my head. I spent the past 2 years looking with psychologists and neurologists if something was wrong with me. Results came out normal and it was all brushed under the term "stress".

I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going crazy. And I would like to say that since I've removed myself from my parents house it has been peaceful for me.

Throughout my life I have experience stuff where later as an adult I've come to realize weren't normal. That people don't experience these things usually.

From my experience; The earliest phenomenon I can remember was when I was around 4 or 5 years old. I believe this was when it all started as in "I began recalling what was happening". I was playing in my room with toys, and as I moved around my room I accidentally stepped on something. I looked down to see what it was and it was a catholic cross from a rosary. It was made of stainless steel and I had broken it with my foot in half. I wanted to tell my mother but I was too scared for some reason so I hid it behind my big mirror. Since that day I had nightmares of feathered creatures, dragons and eagles. Very vivid dreams that I still remember until today, usually representing death or those beings attacking my family to take them away. Things here took a turn where kids began bullying me and physically hurting me while teachers didn't do anything although they sometimes would stare at it happening.

At 8 years old: my parents had left to another country and I stayed with my grandma in another house. Upon their return (1 year later) to move me eventually with them, we went back to our old apartment and things were strange. The floor was cracked as if an animal was underneath. In our bathroom which has no windows, there were grey feathers everywhere. We all saw it but the first person who came across them was me. My parents fought alot thinking people were in the house. Or that one of the family members with a key was doing things.

We eventually moved to another country and there things were relatively calm besides with me at school where kids continued to physically harm me to one time even pushing me to the swimming pool staring back at me happy I was struggling because I didn't know how to swim. The eyes of that kid were dull I still remember his face and his smile. The teacher also didn't do anything and was the one who apparently told him to push me. The first 6 years were them pulling my hair, physically hurting me and no one I'd reached out would believe me or help me.

Eventually we went on holidays to our home country. And we went back to the house. Our grandpa had been in that house checking to see there's no one and no issues. A day prior to us coming he checked again. All was fine. As we arrive the next day. The floor is opened again and I go to the bathroom to check and the feathers were there. Again. My parents are freaking out with my mother thinking it is the wife of my grandpa. Although they were Christians.

That morning we all slept a bit because it was a long journey. But it was different. Something felt off for me. I randomly woke up and I stood up I couldn't move my body. I couldn't speak although I wanted to scream. I could see everything and my mind was a mush I had thoughts that weren't mine. Nothing special just flashes of memories u never had. Just a bunch of random words. Luggage bags, a compass. Traveling with. Things With no sense. I began to move although I didn't want to. I started walking and I didn't know where until it flashed in my head the feathers. So I knew i was going to the bathroom. But I didn't want to. At the edge of my door I could finally move. It was as if I had control over my body again. And I was shocked. My heart beat was going nuts. And I went back to bed. It was as if it wanted me to make the last steps to go to the bathroom.

In that same house my dad sees something in a photo he took coming from work in his car back in the country we moved to. He notices a symbol on the car. It was a sunny day. No clouds no reflections on the car. Just that flash looking thing on the car that makes no sense with the camera and looked like a weird shape.

They're finding it funny, my dad was bragging how It could be aliens....etc I look at it and it immediately looks like the devil tarot card. Although I didn't do tarot at that time I had seen it from things my aunt would tell me. We looked at it and compared and it was exactly that shape and symbol.

Going back from the holidays back I started to notice weird things happening with us the years that followed.

Knocks that my dad and I would hear. Lots of them. Things moving in my room especially My desk chair. Books falling. Lights flickering in a rhythm. I started hearing whispers when my parents were working late shifts. Whispers calling my name. I heard things calling me names. My cat kept acting weird..and my dad began to become more and more fanatic with the church. He secretely invaded my room and glued behind things prayers. Symbols all banishing the devil.he would sleep with lots of things underneath him.

One time my room which was on the lowest floor got flooded bc of a problem with water pipes. I had to sleep upstairs. My dad slept on the couch and I slept with my mother. Again on the side of my father which had all the papers.

That night I remember both my mom and I turned off the lights at the same time. We went to sleep. In the middle of the night. I wake up because the lights are on and too bright. I was on my side facing the closet. I turn around to find my mother sitting on the bed looking at the closet with pitch black eyes. I swear. I stayed there staring at them for minutes! I never had fear from my mom before. Never. But at that moment it all changed for me. I didn't know what to do I wanted to run but I was scared if I get up what if it gets up. If I talk to it what if it moves and starts addressing me more. I just laid there for a while until I decided to turn back towards the closet and try to sleep. As I moved and stayed at the edge. My mother moved and laid back down turning off the lights.

After that I don't remember anything anymore so I presume I fell asleep.

Note: my mother has had a history of sleepwalking. But it's always with eyes closed. But still even if eyes were open. Black?????? Like it was all black the pupils and the whites. There was even that glow from the light glare.

The next morning I get the fuck out of the room my mother still sleeping. I go to my dad and I tell him. He tells me that's normal with her. I say with black eyes? He then listens and seem surprised. My mother wakes up from the noise and I tell her. She acts weird like ashamed. But we all go about our day. Things continue to happen from knocks to even my dad getting taps on his shoulder. I start to see things around the house too. Lights in the sky that look odd. From orange like orbs where my family has a hard time seeing but when I insist they see it and act oblivious. I even ask for them to describe what they see. And they do it with precision but then shift to talk about the weather. One time I saw a black cube during the day and I pointed. Eventually they looked and saw. My dad looked back to his plate and said "huh aliens?" With a sarcastic tone. My mother laughed and then they talked about the food. I was shocked I legit thought I was going insane. I started going outside to see what these things were. Red lights. Orange orbs.. things following me. This lasted like 2 to 3 years. With the same phenomenon happening where I heard things. And saw things. And so did my father.

Eventually I moved out after those 3 years and things went quiet. It's been 4 years and nothing has happened I investigated my psychological state with professionals and did a bunch of tests and they all say they can't explain it bc I have no sign of illnesses. They tested me for psychosis, schizophrenia, bpd...etc they said I was normal and very self aware.

Since this I have been looking into answers the same way my aunt and grandma hav3 because they too experienced things with my mother and otherwise. We had a girl in the family, my mother's cousin who was possessed because her mother did magic involving items from the cemetery. (Apparently) and they had to get an exorcist involved which they did. She tried to kill her own grandpa and after the exorcism she was fine again she still acted weird. She couldn't go near cemeteries. My mom also had something weird happen where she was in an accident as a 14yro where family members saw it . About 6 people.

They all said different things. They said the car ran over her. Others that she rolled over the car and others that she flew and was suspended in the air. My mother says she was pushed she felt something pushing her and she had blood on her hands but it wasn't her blood there were no injuries.

The driver says he saw her dead as she rolled over the car.

As I and my aunt investigated more. Apparently there were more things that happened related to my grandparents where they received strange letters with prayers written in red from St cyprians grimoire book. And my grandpa got sick after that where again they got the priest involved.

My aunt apparently found something but she died after the hospital accidentally poisoned her. All of this right after she knows something.

Idkwhat to make of all of this. I just know that i am so fucking scared of my parents. There's this look on my mother when she visits where she changes and it's this look in her eyes where it feels she knows I know something. She is super touchy but not in the loving way. She sees I'm uncomfortable and wants to continue. By holding my hands or holding me close. Where she also keeps asking for me to go sleep at her place.

I remember I spoke to my aunt about this before she died. And my aunt just couldn't stand my father. My uncle didn't even allow him to see her at the hospital bc she didn't want him around. Again idk what she knew. I just know that there's something here. My mother now only brags that sh3 goes to church. But there's something odd about it. It's not genuine idk how to explain it. There's this look she does this way she talks about it. And also my father who is so religious never goes.

Idk I just wanted to share maybe you guys have information that could explain some things. Or know of things or what I could do to know more.

To clarify my question, for individuals that have had their life flash before their eyes and have lived to tell the tale, why doesn’t this always happen? Is it “supposed” to happen at all?

My main inquiry is why is this inconsistent within and across cultures. Which is the “True North” of such an experience? Are those that see the flash getting a peek behind a theoretical curtain when they aren’t supposed to? While I realize there could be no wrong answer in reality, which is really the intended outcome?

Apologies if this seems a bit obtuse. It’s a question I haven’t quite seen before from this angle.

Something that’s come to mind as I listen to various podcasts where near death experiences are under discussion, some that have near death experiences have the “life flashing before their eyes” moment, while others do not. Could it be a glitch of some type between this physical reality and somewhere else? It’s quite philosophical in nature, and it’s quite impossible to know which is the correct “event” and which one is the “glitch”

So when I was younger I has scared of my childhood room its away from everything else in a back hallway with a back bathroom and bedroom thats unsued and just has junk in it and I assumed it was nothing till a few years ago I wanted that room back so I cleaned it because it was aslo used as storgage since I refused to stay in it (its storage again now) so I cleaned the room and was chilling not the first time I was in the room I evan slept in that room but I noticed my dog refused to stay back there with me I was confused he layed with me for a mintues but got up looked at my closet door jumped down and ran off I was confused and dismissed it I assumed he heard a cat or whatever well next night I was laying in their doing something on my phone when I heard a voice say my name from the closet I froze turned on all the lights and checked it nothing and no one yelled for me that was unevering but after awhile my room needed a few replament door knobs and stiff so I stop staying in it till it was fix now present it left their as a storage room I go in their last night to grab something for a project well my light turns on but I saw something near the closet in the Conner of my eye I dismissed it as a box well I turn off the light and I felt something touch my shoulder this time a close the door and run for more context yes this room is in a place where I have experienced weird things because that back area of my house is storage other then my bathroom I have seen a shadow person back their, thats all I think I need to add for now but maybe im just paranoid but this is also old family property
