Before my first experience, I thought everyone who talked about ghost stories and paranormal shit like it was real was either insane or a compulsive liar. When I was 16 or 17, me and my friend from HS used to go out and explore random wooded areas in our town. First, we jumped the fence to one area and heard dogs that shouldn't have been there and got the hell out. In the second area, by a gas station not far from me as I type this, there used to be a construction site. Imagine a football field with football-style lights that only illuminated a section of the field, a big, downards dip from that, and a slight rise that took you back to street opposite the field. We started walking up there because it looked cool. We walked down the short incline from the gas station, and before we could start going up, we saw something...it looked like an animal, and not a bear, on steroids. We stood there in absolute awe for a while. Then it stood up on its hind legs in perfect balance and we could see its hulking silhouette. It was tall as hell, and wide as hell (muscular). It looked maybe like a wolf or something wolf-like, but we got the hell out of there and ran for the gas station. The next day at school, without bringing this up, our mutual classmate said, "We went to Pangaea yesterday (ask her later and it's literally the spot where this shit happened). We found a deer leg that it looked like it had been chewed off. Two houses mysteriously burned down there in the past few days. Ten years later, neither one of us having ever mentioned this to one another, I asked my buddy, "Do you remember that one night?" him: "Yeah, I remember. When we saw...it." If it wasn't for him being there, I wouldn't have believed it at all. I believe it was either a skinwalker or the Michigan Dogman. What are your stories, anons?
>>42220200i saw a dwarf, was exactly like your story.but i asked my friend if he remembers why we ran that night and he replied, i ran cause you did too.so im confused now
Not me.
>>42220285Maybe you did see something. 15+ years ago, I would have doubted you, but now, not so much. Btw Mothman sightings have resumed in Chicago as of last year -- countless air traffic controllers from O'Hare have reported seeing it. It apparently shows up before a disaster occurs in the area
>>42220311All good -- I was just like you, so no worries :) I completely get you not believing any shit like this -- it sounds batshit insane without the experience
>>42220200assuming you're not a liar the story is still hard to take seriously unless you have aphantasiacan't trust sightings stories from people who can visualize cuz they're always hallucinating shit
A great number of small things over time, starting with a displaced crescent wrench one morning in a moment of diverted attention and then confirmed over a decade later with a votive candle into an empty flipbox out of my hands before my eyes
>>42220200I’ve always been able to sense and feel things that other people can’t. Sometimes you can get practical intuition from it if the conditions are right but I can’t force them so I wouldn’t call it clairvoyance or anything. Don’t ever see anything that other people don’t, though. At least not to my knowledge.I didn’t really need to confirm the existence of a “spirit world” or something else out there because I was always sort of aware of my existence in it, I’m just blind there kek
Told it here before but saw metallic orbs from a plane on my way to Disneyland. Lower than the plane, flying faster than we were, disappeared into a cloud, lasted maybe 10-15 seconds, tried to unlock my phone but it took a couple tries and by the time I got the camera app open they were gone
>>42220429>>42220429Anon, I completely get it. Before this shit, I would have said more-or-less the same shit. I would act like it was normal when people told me ghost stories etc. but secretly think they were crazy or off their meds.I'm not on drugs, nor was my friend and we have no mental ailments. You're completely right to not believe me because I would have but it did happen. If you don't believe me, I'm not offended
>>42220507Yeah, I do think that it can be real when people like you aren't peddling your skills as a some kind of "crime-solving psychic" or making it out to be more than what it is haha
>>42220512Damn. Isn't that how it always goes lol. For my shit, it was pre-smartphone and I don't even think I was old enough to have a cellphone at the time. I started meditating at night and looking at the night sky day after day and I definitely saw a UFO at one point but at such a great distance that if I wasn't paying attention to its motion, it would've looked like a shooting star haha. Only the one time though -- not like these cool UFO stories some people have
