It's a DX7, one of the best selling synths of all time. There are lots of them still in use. Hell, even I had one of those once.

Creepy Stories for the scariest time of year (a little late)
1) My Kit Kat Clock
I unearthed a Kit-Cat Clock that I purchased decades ago.
I hung it on the wall, and it started right up, perfect time. But a day later, the tail/eyes stopped moving.
I fiddled with no result and just rationalized "It's broke".
Over the last 2 years, the tail and eyes start and stop and times that coincide with important life factors. Deaths, jobs, etc...
I'm not spooked, but it is weird. Especially returning from a trip and seeing it swinging away after 10 months of dead still.
2) Dog Ghosts.
I lost my dogs a few years ago. I miss them dearly, they were not dogs, but full members of my family. Both lived until their mid-teens and had full lives. I always feel their presence, in the areas they used to occupy, rest, and play.
Last night my SO and I _distinctly_ heard a 'sneeze' at the back door, where the dogs used to groom each other.
One of my dogs was mildly allergic to something and would sneeze after grooming and before going to bed.
The sneeze was _exactly_ like I remember.
My rationales.
1) random EM weirdness. I know the cheap wiring and how the mechanism works. Might be temp related too.
2) Some mail fell. Human ears are easily tricked - a stack of papers sounds very similar to a sneeze.
(but choose to be spooked if you like)

Is anyone else sometimes seeing weird things at night? You are lying in bed but still awake and then you start seeing these...i don't even have a name? This phenomena randomly appears out of nowhere just for a few seconds close to you and then it vanishes. They remind me of insects and sometimes I think I see wings and feelers. I see them moving & flying around. But sometimes they aren't insect but the shapes are weird and seem like they are changing.
I'm so used to it that I try to grab them when they appear but I'm just grabbing into air while they are still there. It's so fucking weird. And my dog is ALWAYS asleep when it happens so I have giving up any hope of her noticing.
And when they are gone I'm often suddenly not even sure anymore if what I had seen actually happened but it's happening so often (at least once or twice a month since I was a kid) that I know it's not a dream. Also there are rare instances when I'm doing something and they appear.
I found a few possible explanations on the internet
https://www.nosleeplessnights.com/hypnagogic-hallucinations/ (the comment section is interesting because people are talking about their experiences)
So it can't be a dream because like I said it can also happen when I'm awake and moving around. But it's always evening, night or early morning when it happens and it's dark outside and my dog is asleep. If my dog is awake it's not happening. Why?
Let's put science and logic aside for a moment: For me it looks like these phenomenas are like travelling? They are appearing in our realm and they are observing their surroundings for a moment before they decide to leave. They don't like daylight and are afraid of (certain?) animals but not of humans or at least not much.
Is what I'm seeing really not there? I'm not sure. So wtf is going on here? What if it's more common than we think but most people are simply forgetting what they just experienced or decide to ignore it because for them it's too weird and can't be real.

Not yet, only weird insects and this is already too much for me. And you?
It's kinda frustrating. People talking about aliens this and aliens that and demand that the government has to take action but that weird shit people are seeing flying and crawling around at night? That's just hallucinations.

@Sinner's Sandwich I get hallucinations as I'm falling asleep, usually a bunch of weird shapes and voices. I quite like them because I just take them as a sign my brain is winding down to go to sleep. I've never seen creatures though, and nothing while I'm fully awake. That sounds a lot more unsettling.

Actually it's not scary at all, at least not for me but it could be because I'm used to it. It's weird tho. Hell, at this point it's annoying because idk what's going on and then there is yet another one of these fuckers popping out of nowhere. Why? So many unanswered questions.
I have these other hallucinations too when I'm falling asleep to but they are different from watching these creepy crawlies. I wish more people would talk about this. I wish there was an actual scientific explanation but we know so little about our world and so many things are impossible to measure & study.
In my opinion what's happening here is indeed real but it can't be explained, only observed.

I haven't had this in a long time, but in the weirdest one, I was asleep in a room with an open door to the kitchen, and noticed a cat I didn't recognize on top of a shelf that wasn't really possible to get to. It was faced toward the wall, but then turned its head 180 degrees to look straight at me and had the head of an owl.
I fully woke up and it instantly popped out of existence.
I had this a few other times but usually more mundane stuff like just an ordinary cat.

The real mystery is that if the year (1984/1985) we have it down at is correct, is how this band got access to a DX7 so soon without being known or leaving a trace. No doubt it is some presumably local band that never went anywhere, the vast majority of music from that time period is lost because nobody cared about it. Almost certainly it was a demo.

I've experienced auditory hallucinations while falling asleep. I think it's called exploding head syndrome or something like that. I would have just fallen asleep when I suddenly heard a very loud sound like an explosion or yelling and jolt awake, but as soon as I did I realized the sound was not real.

I got this several times when I was on SSRIs and they stopped cold when I stopped taking them.

I've thankfully only had one sleep paralysis hallucination happen to me. I just felt a cold wind on my face, and a woman's voice going "Shhh..." at me. Didn't see anything, thank God.

It sounds like people are describing hypnagogic hallucinations, which do occur with sleep paralysis, but they’re not experiencing the paralysis itself.
When I’ve had sleep paralysis, my brain is “awake” but I can’t move my body at all. Sometimes I think I can tap my index finger, but not always. I can’t even move my mouth or vocal cords — I’ve been told by someone who was awake in the same room that they could hear me whisper-screaming with my mouth closed, and I am also aware that I can’t make a sound. Oh, but I can still move my eyeballs to look at the creepy thing in the corner. I can’t actually open my eyes, but they’re usually cracked.
I can totally see how people used to think this was demonic.

The weirdest one I had was I turned over in bed, my arm flopped over the edge and it felt like it landed on the top of a child's head with short hair. It was so real, I automatically tried to wrap my arm around its neck, and it's just kind of spun around as it vanished.

I just realised what the hallucinations I get remind me of, it's that 4chan thread where anon sees the triangles coming out of his grandma's cupboard when he goes to steal the sugar. I've been triangle'd lmao

OT, and not the right place;
I've been doing this since I was a baby brie, but if I leave the house to shop, visit friends, anything else, and I come back a different way, the house seems slightly...off-kilter, for lack of a better word.
Not in a bad way, just different, even though nothing has changed in the house. And the feeling persists for the rest of the day.
I have no idea what this sensation is, others have described it as well.
Any psychological reason for this?

you can explain a lot of seemingly paranormal experiences on being half-awake or your brain "filling in" ambiguous visuals before they even reach you consciously
the part of your brain that creates dreams is still active after you wake up but tapers away quickly
when your brain doesnt recognize something immediately (or when there are conflicting signals from other senses) it substitutes it with something from long-term memory—which is why modern "abductees" see aliens while religious people in the past saw demons

Come back a different way as in different entrance or different route home? Either you've read too much House of Leaves, have brain damage (a small lesion), or more likely your brain is heavily primed by topographical markers around you which you subconsciously use to navigate, and missing some of them changes your expectations/processing, if that makes sense.

I didn't mention it, but I wasn't able to move as it happened, I don't think.
