What was your experience?

I was a passenger in a gnarly car wreck. First off, I had the most intense deja vu right before the crash - enough so that I adjusted my seat, sat up straight, and closed my eyes; as ready as I would ever be for the impact that came next. After our nearly head-on collision, my door was crimped shut so I had to climb up on my seat and jump out of the busted window to get out. As I was jumping out, someone reached out and grabbed my hand (as you would if helping someone down a large step). I took it without a second thought. They steadied me enough that I landed on my feet despite my badly battered knees and legs. Later I learned that no one else had been there at that time (the other occupant I had to drag out of the car as he had a broken hip). Who or what held my hand? I like to think some sort of guardian.

I have had a few supernatural experiences. On two occasions I had premonitions of a relative and family friend die. One was a dream about my uncle dying. I got a call from my mother after I got home from work telling me my uncle had committed suicide. I had never dreamt of my uncle before that night.

The second one involved a family friend. I was laying in bed one night trying to get my brain to settle down for sleep and I saw this strange image in my mind of a bearded face made up of sparkly but fuzzy dots. The face was growing in size as if it were coming towards me before it dispersed into the darkness. I thought it was odd that the face was familiar. "Hey, that looks like Bill D*****. That's weird." I thought. In the morning I found out Bill, our family friend, had died of a heart attack less than 100 yards from my house at precisely the time I saw his face. The movement towards me was even in the straight line direction between where I was and where he died. Fuck that was mind blowing!

On a different but possibly related note, as a pre-teen kid I saw something that I have never had anyone else make comment on. Back in the summer of 1979, the evening news mentioned there was an unusual ring around the moon that night. My uncle (different uncle from above) and I went outside to see the moon ring. I remember clearly seeing a full moon surrounded by rust-colored rocks with sharply defined crystal faces. The rocks formed a complete ring about 10 times the diameter of moon. The rocks were all about the same size as the moon appeared which would make them quite large. At that age I was big into rock collecting. I remember being astounded by what I was seeing as there were well defined crystal faces on these reddish brown colored rocks of which I could not identify in my rock and geology books. My uncle was also astonished by what he saw, but sadly he does not have even the slightest recollection of the happening. I have scoured the internet for anything that could explain what I saw back in '79, but it seems that there isn't anything to be found. All the moon rings noted on the web are the usual moonbow type rings. The one I saw was definitely rocky. I have always wondered what I saw that night. I really want to know what it was.

I saw a moon ring, also around 79. The one I saw was silvery white and it looked like a string circling the moon. I've never seen it since.

Does coming across a huge meeting of all the neighborhood cats count? I was riding a bike down an alley and came to the back of a small apartment building with parking in the back. Since it was the middle of the day there were no cars, their owners were out at work. One cat sat at a higher point facing all the other cats, who sat around in a semi-circle like an audience listening to a speaker. For a brief moment all the cats stared at me and then took off in fifty different directions.

I had that, turned out someone came around after a bit to feed them. This person caught and neutered the strays. Was pretty weird at first though, found it because i took a wrong turn

I once sat on my patio on a sunny summer day without a cloud in the sky, with my old college buddy. We were talking about God. I prayed and then said out loud. God if youre real, show us. It then started hailing. Still no clouds. We were both freaked the fuck out by that.

I never believed in this sort of thing and always thought 100% of the people with stories like this were full of shit or mistaken. Well, that changed.

A buddy of mine and I were out in the wilderness and saw entities running through a clearing, but floating. I'm getting chills typing this. They looked like they were in clothes from maybe the 19th century. They disappeared after a little while. My buddy and I looked at each other, like whoa our lives just changed.

It's not much of a story, but we saw it happen. It was the middle of the day too.

That's a hell of a great story! Civil war possibly?

[–] 2 pts

I left out some details because I don't want to doxx myself. They were civilians, not soldiers. And it wasn't just wilderness. There are man made structures around there from the 1800s. I researched the area afterwards but couldn't find anything about mysterious or tragic deaths. The ghosts did not seem malevolent in any way. Actually, they were maybe joyous. Years later my buddy confirmed the details of what happened.

[–] 6 pts

Several. The very first one was when I was about 3. I was riding my bike across a busy street (it was the 70s, so of course a 3 year old would be riding their bike around the neighborhood by themself). I didn't check left or right, just went. I heard a pickup truck coming and just pedaled faster. I got across the street and heard screeching brakes, and didn't think anything of it. The driver got out of the truck crying, he thought he had killed me. Someone called my mom who came running, tears down her face. She hugged me and asked me how I made it across the street. I calmly told her "an angel saved me". I had never been to church and didn't know what an angel was.

I think quantum death/immortality/suicide may be related.

I have always wondered about that. A lot of the time when it happens, I get this strong gut feeling and I just get the hell out of the area. The most memorable one is when I was in high school and I managed to decide to leave school right after it ended, go out a different door than I usually do, take a different route home based on a deja vu and a feeling. I learned the next day that a guy I had run into almost a year earlier (and was going to fight because I was going out with his ex girl friend at the time) had been on roids and bulking up for almost a year before coming back after me with a few car loads of friends.

Same thing happened to me in 71' cept the fucker hit me. Da fuk was my angel? Amazing story. Did you actually see something or was it a feeling?

[–] 1 pt

I didn't see anything, I just felt comfortable, relaxed and safe. When I started pedaling hard, it felt like the bike was moving faster than it should, like when you go down a steep hill and your pedaling does nothing. The driver only saw me for a split second before I vanished from his view under the hood.

This may be related, maybe not. When my mom was about the same age, she did get hit by a truck. She remembers standing and looking down at her body on the ground, the driver crying, people on the sidewalk crying. A woman came up to her and put her hand on my moms shoulder and told her "you have to go back, it is not your time and you have things to do". So my mom laid down into her body, closed her eyes and then when she opened them, she had control of her body and was looking up at the driver, who turned super white. He drove my mom home and her parents beat her ass for getting hit by the truck. When it happened to me, my mom didn't even yell at me. She told me that she is happy that I was ok, but they did hand my bike up on a hook in the garage where I couldn't reach it for a month.

My parents got an old hospital bed that i used to sleep in. I was sleeping in my garage with my back to the wall and felt something cold on my shoulder, i turned around and felt my blanket drop about a foot back onto my back. There was just a wall there, it freaked me the fuck out. Had sleep paralysis on that bed too.

As I was jumping out, someone reached out and grabbed my hand

It is a known phenomena:

MU episodes where they talk about it:

Anyhow, I'm glad you lived.

Depends on if you believe sleep paralysis visions are real or all made in the mind. Entered it 4 times total, first and second time I saw a shadow figure slowly walking towards me, second time I moved my arm without moving it... I could feel it moving around and my fingers clenching but could see my arm was not moving. Last time I heard heard voices that I somehow knew were the voices of dead people talking to me... started off as whispers and ended up violently screaming at me.

To;dr Sleep paralysis is fucking terrifying

Ugh the arm thing. I've experience sleep paralysis and more than once I moved an arm or leg "out" of itself. Like, I could feel my arm wasn't moving, but could also feel my arm lifting, with resistance, as if being brought back down by huge strands of stretchy thick glue. Freaked me right the hell out. Just wanted to wake up after that.

I’ve read that you can just stand up out of your body and look at yourself if you try hard enough. Haven’t gotten the balls to try it yet though.

Had an alien abduction night terror once. I was laying on a table looking up at around 5 beings examining my body. The thing is I could move my eyes but the image remain perfectly in the center of my sight. Eventually one of these beings noticed I was conscious and bent over and stared into my eyes close in front of my face. It felt like it was looking into my soul.

Eventually It subsided. The odd thing is I don't remember any physical paralysis just an inability to regain my "vision" of the world around me.

[–] 1 pt

Hmm… this might actually explain those people out there who swear they were abducted. Did it feel real?

[–] 1 pt

It didn't "feel" real, it looked real if that makes sense. I was under the impression it was my brain creating this imagery but it looked as if I was watching something that was happening through a viewport in my vision.

I get it often and do not think it originates in the mind.

What do you see when you get it, also what do you figure it is? Spirits of some kind? I’ve read that many people actually see the same things, there are a few common ones waaay too specific to be coincidence. The shadow man I saw is apparently the most common one.

Wiggle your toes. I promise you it works.

This, focus on your big toe and moving it on one foot and you'll break out. Or just try really hard to sit up straight with an explosive manner.

I’ll try the toe thing next time, but I actually do the explosive sit up thing.

I get sleep paralysis from time to time, was nightly when I was younger. I always fight to shake it off. It feels like being pulled in to something. I always wonder what would happen if I went along with it, but when it occurs it’s terrifying and I just want out. Never saw the visions, that sounds intense.

[–] 1 pt

I’m building up the courage to do it intentionally one of these days. I want to go into it on my terms, I’ve heard you can do some trippy shit with it. I did the moving arm thing but I was actually trying to leave my body like some people say you can do, and after that I believe it.

Yea it feels like you’re sinking into the back of your head to me. I haven’t entered it in awhile because I immediately recognize the feeling and jolt myself out of it. Supposedly after a few times you can control the visions but I was always too scared.

When I was 19 years old.

Was hanging out with the wrong group, smoked weed often only. This guy my friend is a Muslim and his friend loved hard core drugs like ice.

Went to his friends house where he was staying they pull out these drugs I refuse them and ask my friend to go outside and smoke weed.

Sitting in the park across the road pulling out the tools to smoke. I felt as if every part of my body had an itch from head to toe. I told him we need to get the fuck out of here.

We jumped in my car and the itch went away as I drove out... I then told him it's gone we might aswell stay now... as we turned back to sit down on the bench in the park. The itch came back but worse as if it was bee stings every inch of my body... I couldn't sit still.

So again jumped in the car and as we drove out of the drive way it went away completely.

The rest of the night I had the worst luck. Lost my wallet, pulled over by cops (found nothing), had a bumper to bumper minor accident.

I got home that night. 1 day later he calls me and tells me lucky we left.... the neighbour next door to his friends apartment which he constantly gets into physical altercations with was murdered that night 15 minutes after we left.

Something was telling me to get out and I like to think its my guardian angel.

Next time I saw him 1 month later I could see this visible palpable hatred in his eyes that someone or something was looking after me and not him. Felt like he wanted to take my life for the sake of it. I never saw him again and never made close friends with a Muslim again.

Once upon a time I was a drug addict. I had gone to Florida for rehab, and was clean for months, and living and working down there. I relapsed one night. I was buying cocaine and the guy had some heroin and gave me a free sample. I tried it, and the next thing I remember is opening my eyes in my truck parked in a parking lot. Away from where I had used the drugs. Next thing I know, I figure without a face, it was blurry and had no distinct features, pulled me out of my car, and I have a few brief moments of recollection where I was taken home in his vehicle. I never told him where I lived, and then I wake up in my bed the next morning. I had no use of my arm. I had fallen asleep in a certain position that had strained all kinds of nerves. I could tell that my arm was asleep right when The figure was pulling me out of my truck, but I thought It was only temporarily asleep like what happens when you lay on it funny.The doctor said they have never seen nerve damage like this except in motorcycle accidents. A part of me thinks that it was not just sleeping in a certain position that messed my arm up that bad. I have no idea how so many nerves in my arm got so messed up just by sleeping in that position. The whole thing is very weird. It took almost a month for me to regain feeling in my arm. They said if I would’ve slept in that position any longer I would’ve probably lost complete use of my arm. The guy who pulled me out is this still the strangest thing to me. It’s a complete mystery. I was so far back in the parking lot, away from all other people and things, there is no way anyone could have known I was there. Also, who’s to say I wasn’t just sleeping? The fact that he immediately just open my door and lifted me out of the truck and brought me home to my bed was the oddest thing to me. It took me hours to try to locate my car the next day. I had a stick shift, and driving without the use of one arm was very hard. I had to prop my useless hand up on the steering wheel while I shifted Just to try to keep the truck going straight. I’ll never forget that night. Been clean for years and years now

So I once saw my neighbor drive in front of my house 4times. Saw him clearly through the car window and recognized his car.

The thing was I lived on a giant loop several miles long so he couldn't have done it without going back in front of me but he didn't. I specifically remember after noticing the third time how impossible it was so I sat and watched clearly to see if it would happen again... And it did

So this guy either had clones or he was a robot or I experienced a conscious time warp.

It was such simple thing but the implications were so profound that I didn't want to think about it. Still really don't. It was so clear and even happened after I was directly consciously observing the fourth time. So how many clones or robots are there? Or why did time warp?
