I’m from Messina, Sicily. I don’t believe in paranormal stuff, but something happened in the San Rizzo hills and I can’t stop thinking about it.San Rizzo is a hilly area above the city. People go there for drives, walks, or just to look at the view. At night it gets very quiet, and there are wild boars around, so almost nobody walks there alone.A few weeks ago I was driving back down after meeting a friend. It was around 1:30 a.m. There was some fog between the trees and my phone had almost no signal.I stopped for a moment to take a photo from the car. I rolled down the window, took the picture, and while I was rolling it back up, I heard my old ringtone.Not my current one. The one I used in high school.It sounded like it was coming from the trees on the right side of the road.I turned on the high beams and got out, but stayed close to the car door because of the boars. Then I heard a woman call my name.For a second I froze. It sounded exactly like my grandmother.She’s been dead for years.I tried to explain it away. Maybe it was an older woman who recognized my car, maybe someone who needed help. So I asked if she needed a lift back into town.Then the voice called me again, but this time it used the nickname my grandmother used when I was little.She never used that nickname around other people. It was our thing.But the voice said it wrong.Not completely wrong. Just slightly wrong, like someone learned it from a damaged recording.I didn’t answer.Then it said: “Come here. I remember you.”I got back in the car immediately.When I turned the headlights toward the trees, I saw someone standing half behind a pine tree. Tall. Too still. Like it was waiting to be recognized.I drove away as fast as I could.Has anyone heard of something in Sicily that copies voices? Not like a skinwalker or a mimic. More like it copies memories.
That's a skinwalker. They do exactly this.
>>42351337I don’t think it was a skinwalker, cause it wasn’t copying a voice to lure me like an animal or shapeshifter, it copied a specific memory of my grandmother.She sounded younger, like when I was a child, and used a private nickname only she used. But it said it slightly wrong.It felt like something was reconstructing her from my memory, not imitating her.
>>42351335What did you stop to photograph at 1:30 in the fucking morning in what I assume was pitch darkness? You need an editor.
>>42351335>>42351356Short enough and actually gets to the point with zero schizobabble that I actually might believe you. Well, I know there's patents out there relating to tech that can remotely put voices in people's heads so I'm honestly open to shit that can read minds at this point. Or, it was spiritual and demonic since that's a thing too>>42351371Look at the filename. He needed an image to post sonce you can't make a thread without including an image. It's blank
>>42351371It was a photo of the city from the hills, not a photo of the black woods...
>>42351416I don’t know whether it was all just a bit of a sham or not; I’m someone who thinks very logically and always tries to find an explanation for everything. I’d already thought it might be some sort of prank, but what really made me think was the fact that they called me by that nickname that only my grandmother used to give me and that nobody knows to this day, not even my closest relatives, because it was – and still is – something between me and my grandmother. Whether or not that thing behind the tree is real matters little; the fact is that it called me by that name, albeit in a distorted way. One thing I’d left out before: I’m dyslexic and I often play with words and nicknames in my head, usually mangling them. The one uttered by this thing was one of the mangled versions I often played with in my head, and that made the situation even more unsettling...
>>42351503Creepy story brah
>>42351503Fake and gay OR you opened yourself up to this thing regardless of if it’s “real” or not. You should do something, anything, that clicks with you as some kind of protection ceremony, clear out your mind and build up some barrier
You are displaying symptoms of schizophrenia. Hearing voices and seeing people/things that are not there. Monitor yourself and see a psychiatrist if the voices persist.
>>42351806The false confidence that nothing exists beyond the linear context of our shared reality is only comforting until it is not. No one will remain in the apparently physical context forever. For those who are the most dependent on this reality that they presume to be all that exists the moment it all begins to fall away can be extremely disorienting.Those humans that are preaching their rhetoric of academic authority are actually quite clueless. Embarrassingly so in this moment of collapse of their illusions.To be completely honest, you do sound Jewish from even the single comment that you posted. If you are simply echoing their narrative rhetoric of declarative self appointed authority then you can be summarily dismissed. Read the letters exchanged between jung and freud. The entire industry has been a product of the protocols of the learned elders of zion. You can go out in the woods yourself.. but the real exploration is within. Nothing is as it seems. Your imagination of reality is not reality. Experience is the only real source of knowledge. Authoritative rhetoric is for useful idiots.
>>42351503Had a friend who always read the stop signs as "pots". It's a fine point of detail to consider.. if the thing was only accessing your mind to attempt to engage your attention I would recommend to not judge too impulsively. In the short term maybe avoid it.. but it could be something less ominous than that first impression would seem. Pay attention to your dreams. Really. Take the time before moving around to examine everything you can remember before you start to move around when you wake up. Before you move a muscle explore your memory of the previous night you were sleeping. If fear of the unknown is the only thing preventing the unknown from becoming known it's a difficult point to grow beyond.Some people want honest real knowledge and some people just want peace. I wanted the latter but wound up with the former. If you legitimately are able to perceive something that other people are not aware of do you really want to ignore it?If they don't know what it is how can their guidance be meaningful? Conformity for the sake of conformity is not the long term resolution it is marketed as. I have experienced the presence of many things.. some physical.. some not. There is much to discover
