Any paranormal experiences here? - What have you had happen that you dont want to again.

The sand pattern around the black thing and the boat makes me think this was once a bit more full of water than it is now. I've seen a lot of evaporation ponds where they line everything with an enormous tarp so the water or chemical waste doesn't seep into the ground. I wonder if there's something similar happening there?

As for the tank, that's pretty strange to see but there are also places where you can rent a tank and drive it around in the desert (closer to Nevada) so depending on where this location is it could be something like that.
There’s pentagrams north and south of the site too.

Not exactly paranormal but personal confirmation of a phenomenon that has been reported many times before - We rented a beach-front property for a while that overlooked a small island. Soon after moving in, there was a large earthquake that struck in the middle of the night. We saw earthquake lights rising from behind the island up into the sky, illuminating the sky, island, and ocean all around for just a few seconds, then gone. The island is an unoccupied nature reserve with no power infrastructure, so the usual hand waving about 'transformers popping' or wires crossing couldn't be the cause.

Very few people would have had the view we did at that particular moment (most of the properties around the island were holiday homes and it was off-season so 99% unoccupied) and nobody else reported seeing it.
 
you Australian by any chance?

I am not someone to be mad at asking a power-level question but no I am not. I hang out with someone who is from there and we are cobbers. I am not going to give out my exact information ( unless you go through my post history I probably fucked up somewhere ) and you put it together.

Didn't mean it to be a powerlevel question. Also Australia is huge, so it'd be no more powerleveling than me saying I'm in America.

(it was more of a joke on you using that one word since Australians use it a lot)
All good man. Other people here would tell you to fuck off otherwise which is why I said it.

Maybe another time I'll talk about my experience of sleeping alone for years at the third floor of my previous home and what "came out" of the deepest room of the floor most nights, sometimes coming up to my own.

But for this time I'll just mention that my wife and I experienced mares a few times at night. Most likely more times than we remember, but I'm certain of three times. Two of which she can confirm, even if the phenomenon almost forces her to forget, like a distant dream you remember when waking up but the memory is stolen from you within the hour.
Not dangerous in itself, mares mostly feeds on emotions, emotions it will sometimes trigger itself, one time we both woke up in the middle of it, we were both very angry for no reason when waking up but were forced back to sleep almost instantly. Mares are very scary to the mind eye and the experience can be very scary, it is seen as a small demonic creature with a very teethy mouth, but won't actually harm you in a any meaningful way.
I don't like mares so I'm always agressive with them when they're near or almost there and they tend to shy away, they're just big mosquitos, yearning for my emotions like a jew yearn for other people's money. Disgusting creature.

PS: Yes this where the Germanic word "night mare" comes from. Same in some Latin languages with "cauchemar" or "koshmar" in Slavic languages.

There was something standing on my bed in the dark, under the blanket. It was about 3 feet tall, and all my siblings were babies so it wasn't them. I freaked out, and told my dad. The lights suddenly came back on, but he came into my room and saw it too. He jumped on it
Based dad. When you see something you don't know, jump on it agressively. You have good genes in you.
A lot of paranormal things are very meek, afraid, weak, or inoffensive. We are made to be very afraid of them because some of them WILL fuck you up, and Darwinian selection made that those that weren't afraid in the first place mostly got selected out of the gene pool.
 
Many years ago before I got a place of my own, I shared a place with a roommate. We were in the kitchen one morning having breakfast when we heard her bedroom door open, the very clear sound of bare feet walking on the hardwood floor coming down the hall. The footsteps came in to the kitchen, stopped, then one of the cabinets (the one that had the tea and tea cups) opened on its own.

If I had been by myself I could have chalked it up to being half asleep, but we both experienced it so idk...It oddly wasn't scary to experience just utterly bizarre. When we checked her room the door was still closed too. It wasn't an old house either; less than 30 years old when we lived there.

After that incident we'd ocassionally come home to find the cabinet open and a cup and/or tea box on the counter.
 
After reading about meres I have a bit more context to add to the "ball lighting" experience I had in my first post.
It was not the only experience I had that week, there was another. I wrote it off as a hallucination though. That one with the ball lightning, was just the most memorable one. I had another "Awakenings" in the night, and these two baffle me to this day. This coming from someone who experienced night terrors since they were a kid, and hypnagogic hallucinations and the ability to tell them apart from other parasomnias.

The 2nd experience of the week of was a similar awakening, just this time I could see in the dark in shades of red in my bedroom. I don't say this lightly, when I say my room was literally too dark to even see the end of your nose. There was zero light. So imagining waking up, and being able to see the entire room. I woke up to the red tinted room, and sat up confused. But something was controlling by body, and it began to interact with some "panel" in front of me while I was still dreaming, like it pulled out a touch screen computer and woke me up mid dream. (this was in 2010). I (it) wrote in a language I could somewhat remember, and it seemed to be based on rectangles. I could tell you if I saw it again, but I cannot recreate the language. Also, there was some black energy involved in this, idk what that means in the grand scheme of things. But this dream legit made me reconsider some things as it felt so real.

I have had plenty of sleep paralysis things that could be paranormal based on your interpretation.

For example, I had one instance where I was awake but unable to move and I had to stop some entity from gaining control of my muscles. It was trying to use them and I knew that I shouldn't let it and so for what felt like a long time I was fighting to stop it from using my muscles. Then I finally managed to move and fully wake up.

The other instance I can remember I was more asleep but still a little bit awake. I had a sort of dream that I was running in between and under things trying not to be found. Everything was colored red for some reason. I remember wrapping myself in a blanket and then something grabbed me and lifted me up into the air while I tried to scream. I could feel an extremely malevolent entity laughing at me. But during all of this I was trying to actually move and I could feel that I couldn't move

You could classify these things as known conditions and say they are not paranormal. But I'd argue just because they are known about doesn't mean they aren't paranormal. The feeling of coming into contact with some incredibly malevolent entity that is beyond your understanding isn't diminished because it is just a dream.



I used to be able to sort of know what would happen during a random event. I remember doing this all the time during card games that I used to play accidently. If there was a certain card that could do 1 of X random things I would know beforehand which one. I don't know how I would know but it was almost like I could just feel it. I've done this for all kinds of things like taste tests and questions on tests and nearly all of the time it works. It isn't a conscious thing though and I can't force it. I just know and it seems to matter whether what is going to happen has a big impact on me in the near future.

I try not to put myself in situation where this comes up though. I think whatever that was is something bad and I try to not do it and to stay as far away from this thing as possible.

There are others but I either don't want to tell them, they won't make a decent story or I can't even communicate what happened in way you could understand.

I will say ever since I converted to Christianity and started praying regularly I haven't had any paranormal experiences for years. And I'm incredibly thankful for that.
I have had some but I'm afraid to talk about them because I'm afraid of the experiences I've had.
Understandable.

When I had things happen I just ignored them and pretended none of it actually happened.

I think the best thing to do whenever you encounter something beyond your understanding is to just get the fuck away and just ignore/forget about it.
Do you guys think that hautings have inteligence or are just records created by past events?
I think they are basically demons. As far as I understand it Demons aren't really even alive. They are like an animal that feasts off of a bad event but even less alive than that almost like a fire burning through fuel. They might have incredibly unique responses to specific scenarios but they aren't truly alive.

I am reminded a lot, of the way that computer programs work. It did spook me a bit that certain things were called daemons in Linux.

Of course this is just a guess about something way beyond me that I would probably be better off not even thinking about.
 
Not even religious but once while laying down trying to sleep, I felt an incredible fuzzy warmth inside of me.

I was filled with calm and gratitude. I was on the verge of crying tears of joys. It gave me strength and sometimes I summon this strength and warmth to go out jogging very early in the morning.

Maybe it was just a weird sleep paralysis thing, maybe it was God. I don't care I just know that shit was intense and helped me a lot.

Here are some stories my friend shared with me:

"When my dad was dying, we were in his hospital room and it was late at night. My father's mother had been an RN and had died from a stress test after several brain surgeries to treat a meningioma, and she had died years before I was ever born. I had no real faith in the supernatural or spirtuality at the point when my father started dying, so I was incredibly disconsolate - especially when it seemed that my father wasn't waking up from his sedation. When the night nurse came into the room to introduce herself and make me, as well as my dad, comfortable, I could feel another presence enter. I know this sounds insane, but it seems like it was my father's mother's presence. I know the stories about the hat man or the dark stranger in the corner whom only the dying can see, but this didn't feel sinister. I had never met my grandmother before, nor could I claim that I ever felt her presence prior to this. I felt an incredible sense of calm wash over me, and that presence lingered through the night. It's what helped me to sleep a little at my father's bedside before I was woken up to experience his final moments.

I was in a bad way for months after his death, and I was contemplating just ending it. While I was sobbing and thinking this, I heard my father speak directly into my mind, saying in a very sarcastic manner, 'Why?' It made me whip my head around, because it sounded like it came from behind my left ear. I decided to continue to live after that. These experiences have convinced me that there is a life after death
. I'm convinced that my dad is flickering the lights occassionally in my home, as I will address him after it happens and it won't happen again. There was another time when I was in danger from a fellow tenant who was following me around (stalking me - didn't want to be seen so he hid himself behind a wall one morning when I was going to work - another time, I think the guy was waiting for me outside of my door before he realized that my dog was with me and he ducked into his room) - the tenant had pinned me with his arms to either side of me to whisper legal threats (about suing me for some imagined wrong that my dog had done to him) into my ear while I was trying to unlock the door to the back of the house. I heard my father's voice, again: 'Get out of there.' I did by ducking under the guy's arms and ran like Hell itself was after me. These are the only two times I'd swear my dad was directly speaking to me.

My mother also reported seeing a man walk into her bedroom while she was with her first husband, but then the man vanished when he ran into the bed. My mother didn't know what to make of it until my father told her it was likely a ghost.

A feel a similar sensation often. Sometimes, when I a lie down, it's so comfortable and I feel so overwhelmingly grateful for the comfort I'm feeling, it just becomes an intense moment of warmth, gratefulness, and a brief fuzzy giddiness.

Not a paranormal thing for me, either. Just something extremely nice.

Sometimes I'll pray in that moment.
 
I dreamt that some bad guys chase me. One of them get me, he had knife, we started struggling, I grabbed the knife, wake up... And had knife in my hand. I was shocked and tried to rationalize why I have knife for my dream in real world, when I wake up again, this time for real (and of course without any items from dream).

This reminded me of what happens when the men in the maternal line of my family die: they see their father in the corner of the room. I don't know exactly how far back it goes but it's happened enough that when my grandfather saw his father in the corner of the room, the family immediately knew he'd pass soon. When my uncle saw my grandfather in the corner, same thing.

I wonder if this is a common thing? I've never heard anyone else mention the feeling of a parent (or the dying seeing a parent) before now

Not paranormal, but I stayed in the room all night with my uncle after he passed to keep vigil with my aunt and mom, and the hissing sounds the body makes as the air is gradually released is so bizarre to hear.
 
most of the time, hauntings are ordinary things that people mistake as being paranormal because of confirmation biases from cultural traditions and rumors
bear in mind that ghosts (human figures that someone sees without them being physically present) are unrelated to hauntings and less likely to be reported unless the witnesses believe spirits are supposedly involved

I read an article years ago about certain sound frequencies that are similar the roar of a tiger or other predatory animals that would have hunted our ancestors. This frequency still makes us feel fear. It also makes other animals feel fear. One of my cats is terrified of the sounds made by motorcycles and street cleaners. And honestly it gives me the heebie-jeebies too. It's not just the loudness. It's the sound itself. And it doesn't have to be loud. It just needs to be of a similar frequency. So a low rumbling sound can also instill fear even if it's not breaking your eardrums as some helmetless moron zips by your street on his ATV seven times at 3am.

I once cried for about 2 hours straight like an absolute retard, because all of a sudden I felt free and comforted. I couldn't do anything but cry because it just overpowered me. I was supposed to work but I couldn't. There was no fear, no confusion, no trace of any bullshit that normally weighs us down. It was the most relieving, most peaceful and beautiful thing. When I could function, I had to tell some people right away that I loved them.

It never happened again, but the memory sticks with me.
I attribute it to God, although I'm usually not a fan of giving emotions much credit when it comes to these things.
