So the other night I saw something weird in the sky. I have seen a UFO before but this wasn't a UFO. It looked like a giant bat flying above my grandmother's house. I was the only one who saw it because it blending into the dark sky.
So has anyone else seen anything strange? Humanoid creature, UFO, flying creature, ghosts. Share you're encounters, what did you see, what did you hear, did you see it up close? Share! :3
And I hope someone can help me answer what the heck I saw in the sky!
Part of that could depend on what part of the world you live in. There are some sizable species of bats and other nocturnal creatures out there, especially near jungle and forested areas. Of course with Halloween coming up, the spirit barrier between our world and the beyond is thinning. You may have seen a gargoyle. :p
I actually believe things like that :P So wouldn't surprise me. But I live in Texas, SMALL town. No one around here is smart enough to pull a prank like that, believe me. xDQuote:

Umm, yeah I kinda think so. x_x .. I doubt the average person wakes up and is like "Hi figure coming outta aunts pool. I'm gonna get breakfast, want some?" o.0Quote:

Doesn't sound abnormal to me. But then again I've interacted with spirits since I was a small child (not sure if all were ghosts or something else). I also have dreams of the future, past lives, and faerie folk who visit on a semi-regular basis. There is also a shadow creature that likes to hang out in the glove box of my truck. I don't know much different.Quote:

Hmh, never had anything like the things you all've been saying.
Makes me wonder if things like that don't happen here in The Netherlands. ^^
But i've never believed in anything like that.
I won't believe ANYTHING. Untill i've seen it with my own eyes. ^^
But that goes up for... seriously everything. xD
It's the end of the world! Those are demons, Satan's angels! Good angels from God will be along shortly to destroy them and their master Satan. The day of Judgement approaches!

Hmmm... I'm sure there is a perfectly scientific explanation (like there is for everything) I am a total sceptic, until I see cold hard proof, I refuse to believe in ghosts, UFO's, demons, gods etc.
Stop it.Quote:

Just. Just stop it.
Enjoy being added to the list of other loons who were pretentious enough to think that the world would end in their time.

NOTHING new. NOTHING special.
And about strange sightings- I have had none, and don't anticipate I will, anyway. Until someone gets something even close to actual scientific evidence for the existence of the paranormal: consider me a skeptic.
"Woah, I swear I just saw something over there," is not proof that bigfoot lives in your backyard.
Sorry I'm so... venomous about this- it's a pet-peeve of mine not dissimilar to my agitation towards the very religious.
I know a lot of people are skeptics, but its hard to believe stuff like this until it happens to you. Sometimes you wont see it. I had a time where I was just watching tv in my room and on the phone with my bf at the time, then I started to feel like I was drowning! No joke! I blacked out for awhile then when I woke up he was freaked and said something was drowning me, saying it died by drowning. I guess I was being possessed? Idk possession is hard thing for me to believe because you cant tell whos faking and who isnt.
I guess I'm somewhat of a skeptic. When I go to someones house and they claim its haunted I can easily debunk it. I don't jump to conclusions and say ERMAGERHD ITS HAUNTED Huuuuurrrrr. My sister claims shes a skeptic but she totally believes in ghosts...not sure how that works out TBH.
That's incredibly presumptuous- the human brain is way more complex than you can imagine. I'm sure 200 years ago people thought epileptic attacks were brought on by "evil spirits".Quote:

Yep, right here:

Your mind can play tricks on you: it does not mean you should jump to supernatural conclusions.
My grand mother owned a small store in west Dallas, this happened to me, when I was around 14-15. I stayed with her to help her out while my parents were having marriage issues. Anyway, one night I woke up to some noises in the store front, and I could definitely hear the sound of shuffling foot steps...everything was locked up tight and I thought nothing of it till items in one of the isles started moving around...mostly canned goods. Instead of chasing noises, I just made my way to register counter as you can see down all the isles and there were 3 windows illuminating the far ends so I could see just enough street light coming thru to see clearly. I just stood still and listened, heard noises to the left of me but couldn't see exactly what it was, that's when I focused on it...a "shadow". I only noticed it because it was darker than the rest of the shadowy area it was in...and it started moving..left to right. It had to be 6' + only because the windows behind it were about 5' up from floor level and it blotted out what little light that came thru behind it. It moved so slowly, I couldn't tell if it was moving backwards or foward...I just stood there watching it.
I never gave ghosts a second thought before...until that night.
I don't jump to automatic conclusions but when he told me it spoke to him, and such I knew it was NOT epilepsy. I know i'm not epileptic, I have no history of that or anything else mental. I'm just chubby :PQuote:

I thought i saw God floating above my bed. But then i remembered the mirror i put on my ceiling. Luckily it wasn't god, cuz i would have tried to punch him in the mouth and who knows what would have happened after that...
Hmmmm... i once saw some weird lights above phoenix. It later turned into a big controversy because of the number of sightings. With the knowledge that i have now, i could make some rough guesses as to what it was. If you want to find out for yourself...well...you'll just have to get the right job.

if you live amongst a group of people dumb enough to believe in ghosts and gargoyles and whatnot, then i'm not surprised none of them are smart enough to set up a prank like that.Quote:

UFO's are real. It just stands for Unidentified Flying Object. An aircraft (such as secret military projects) that is unidentified by any government without public knowledge is technically Unidentified, flying, and an object. Thus, making it a "UFO."Quote:

And if there is some civilization with the ability to travel across galaxies, i doubt they'd take much interest in us. They'll be like "Dude! check it out! these humans have shoes that light up when you walk in them!" To a race so advanced that it can branch out into space, i doubt that we are very interesting.

I saw two lights in the sky a couple weeks ago. Moving adjacent to each other. Not a plane or helicopter, because they were dimmer, faster, and not blinking. It was something I couldn't identify. I hereby dub such things as "Unidentified Flying Objects". I think it's funny when people automatically say "UFOs AREN'T REAL" when the term "UFO" can really just mean anything in the sky that someone can't find an explanation for. What I saw was probably just a satellite, but hey.Quote:

Honestly you can't tell me that a universe that has been observed with an estimated span of 28 billion light-years has just one habitable planet. Whether it be single-celled bacteria, grass, pink puppy-sized dinosaurs, or the blue people from Avatar, you can't say with certainty that life can't exist anywhere else.
On a different but related note, I love paranormal stuff. I wouldn't call myself superstitious but I like being imaginative and thinking "what if?". I've had a lot of weird experiences that I couldn't explain but it doesn't mean I automatically attribute it to ghosts or something. Like it's been said, there usually is a pretty reliable scientific explanation for these things, but sometimes it's just funner to think otherwise. I've woken up frozen and hallucinating, unable to breathe before. It's called Sleep Paralysis, and has been scientifically studied and proven. I believe that I've experienced what's called Astral Projection, which has received plenty of skepticism, but has little to no scientific explanation.
Really though, not everything that's unexplainable gonna be researched and spelled out in difficult textbook terms, so we may as well keep wondering. It's just more interesting that way, anyway.
I...no no- you're misunderstanding me. I was making a parallel between ANY kind of neural oddity (epilepsy, split-personality, schizophrenia, etc), discovered/understood or not, and pointing out their incredible, adverse effects on the brain.Quote:
I knew it was NOT epilepsy. I know i'm not epileptic
@TheThunderBringer I think you and I will be good friends. You have something that so many ppl do not possess...LOGIC!
Can't say I've seen anything strange before. Now if we're talking people..That's a whole different story. Lol.
