Sharing my strange/weird/unusual experiences....

I keep popping back to this thread and really enjoying it!

I've had numerous strange and bizarre experiences over my lifetime. Some I have shared here and there on other threads as an AC……..UFO's, Bigfoot encounters, realistic dreams where I am another person complete with memories of that lifetime, etc., teaching "dreams", OOB's, and last year a NDE.

All w/o the benefit of mind altering substances. :)

My life has been normal and mundane mostly, but the punctuated by these fairly frequent strange experiences that leave me puzzled and scratching my head. I am well educated and consider myself a scientists, but have also delved into the world of the paranormal and metaphysics due to my strange encounters with the extra-ordinary.

Trying to choose one experience to relate is difficult.

Three experiences make me wonder if I have had "alien abductions" periodically. I'll relay the first.

My first UFO encounter was shared by my husband and occurred in 1984. We were returning to our rural home from a Jr College in a nearby town where we were taking nighttime photography classes. It was late (~ 10:00 PM), and I needed sleep, so asked my husband to take a longer, but less bumpy route. I woke up being jostled by the bumpy route and grumpily asked him why he was taking the rough road. He pointed ahead and I looked out to see an incredibly large and bright cluster of lights in the distance, where there was nothing but a small river (Wewoka River in mid-East OK). He drove down the road until we were adjacent to the lights and then pulled to the shoulder of the narrow back road. To the right of the truck was a pasture that lead to a green belt by the river. The lights were attached to a large craft of some sort that was hovering. Neither of us were afraid, just excited. We eventually got out of the truck and stood off the road in the pasture. After several minutes, the craft drifted toward us. It was shaped like a manta ray with the wings down and had 4 very bright white lights on the leading edge. As it drifted toward us, I realized that it was massive. When it was overhead, it blocked most of the sky. The only sound was a faint fan-like sound or hum. I remember looking up and seeing grids on the underside of the craft. I have no idea if it was 50 or 200 feet up as there was no sense of scale, but it was huge. We were unharmed and it eventually left us and drifted away, then left more rapidly once it was away from us and went over a nearby hill, and was lost to view.

Afterwards, we were excited and planned what we would do if we saw it again. This was before the digital age and night vision cameras, but my husband had an extra camera body and had been practicing using infrared film, so we planned to keep that camera loaded with IR film just in case.

Now it gets really strange!

A few weeks later, we were again returning home from late classes and a late film printing session. We had our cameras and the camera with the IR film on the seat between us. Suddenly in an area over the river, but closer to our home, I glanced over and saw the same lights as before. I recall saying to my husband - "look, there are those lights again". He slowed and glanced past me and said "yeah it is them" or something. The next thing I recall, we are in the truck and looking straight ahead. We drove the mile to home went into the house and went to sleep. We never spoke about the lights that night or for several weeks. My husband to this day will not discuss this event, but will talk about the first one.

I have to say that I have a great sense of adventure and to ignore the opportunity of photographing a UFO is NOT something I would do. It was about 1/8th of a mile away and we would have easily been able to walk through the pasture to the river and taken many photos! We instead went home like robots and went to sleep. Just inexplicable!

Also, after this experience, we both just "decided" to stop attending our photography classes in mid semester. I had never quit a class in my life. We both had strong A's when we stopped going, so ended with C's despite missing half the classes. But we just quit going. Just bizarre.

in 2008 I was sitting in my bathroom one day and I saw a scene of pyramids with trees in the background on the wall. I closed my eyes and it became more vivid. Next thing I know I was in a room where there were two beings with cloaks on. They were flat like a laminated menu and they were outlined with a black line. Their eyes and mouth were just lines. Their heads were clover shaped. Nothing was said, I just sat there in front of them. I remember smiling not wanting to open my eyes and leave the moment.

I didn't really know what relevance it had until I picked up Sun Bear's Medicine Wheel book last year. First picture I see is Native American totems with the same facial line structure but different head shape. Up until that point I didn't know much about Kachinas and the like.

Nice! Is there any wonder that there aren't many good pictures of the ships? They don't want to be proven to exist.

Well you know I believe you, and I've had similar issues trying to photograph them. Most notably, fresh camera batteries going dead.

Also, I think Wewoka is the same area where I had the strange experience with the number 212. I posted about it in this thread.

For these things to have happened around the same time is interesting. You guys must've been going through a major transition in your lives.

Shaped like a can? Weird to the max!

Many years ago I was staying at a thoroughbred training farm. We were building a house close by. I became friends with the barn manager. Every evening we went down to the barn,fed,watered, hayed and mucked out stalls. By the time we finished it was dark. We were walking back up the road to the apts. when we both at the same time saw what looked like 4 car headlights in the sky. We were both just standing there, mouth dropped open when we realized how fast these lights were coming and extremely bright headed straight for us. We finally hit the ground, thinking the lights were going to hit us. They passed over, no sound, and disappeared. She carried a shotgun from then on. Even in the daytime, in the golfcart. wouldn't walk any more. Just rode around in the cart with the shotgun. Carried it into the barn from stall to stall. She wouldn't talk about it. I was so pumped and no one to talk to!

The same year we moved into the house and continued working on it. I was asleep and suddenly was aware that someone was with me. I opened my eyes and felt a jolt like a shock(I was sleeping on a waterbed). There was a gold, gossamer figure,definitely male,floating above me about an inch from my face, he was sort of hovering over me. It's very hard to describe him. His whole body looked like rectangular grid of some sort, like he was made of gold non-climable wire. His hair was gold, and he had on a gold headband. His arms were by his sides and all this see thru material was billowing around him. I was feeling love that I had never felt in my whole life,it just flowed from him. Telepathically he told me he could only come as light. and then he moved out through the wall. I jumped up forgetting where I was, stood up on the bed and ran into the wall. I sort of came to my senses and started to sob like a baby. I never wanted someone to come back so much in my life. I felt abandoned. I searched the net for years trying to identify him. Someone said he sounded like the angel Uriel. But they couldn't tell me why. I looked him up but saw nothing to convince me it was him. I still have that vision of him and how in his eyes he looked as desperate as I felt. Still miss him.

I've had experiences with Uriel. Sobbed like a baby from my experience as well

I'm still learning about the significance of these things as well. It's fascinating, and people are for the most part very tight lipped on this subject.

October 1992

I'm in a car with my mom, grandmother, and somebody else from church and we're on our way to a church conference In central Florida. We're on the Turnpike and car crossed the median and was coming at us head first. My mom and grandmother started praying. I was in the backseat and couldn't really see what was happening as I was playing Metroid 2 on my Gameboy. Well the car was on its way to hit us and a HAND comes out of the sky and pushes the car out of our way just as fast as it was coming, with no pause in velocity. We made it to the conference safely.

I've had an interesting life

That last story was very touching, Silver Vision. It's experiences like these that enable us to be strong when we are pushed to our limits.

It's like having a well with healing water within us, which we can draw from as needed.

Thanks Path.

I have an elderly friend, personality much like the guy on the Monk series. She has so many quirks I don't think I will ever find them all. She had an old car,17 yrs maybe.
She always insists on driving and I was used to being scared stiff but one day we had been all over town, doing errands and finally stopped to get lunch. We left to go home on the busiest road in our town, bumper to bumper, cars darting here and there jockeying for position. Suddenly she said look at my speedometer!!!It was around 50 and we were stopped in the median with smoke rolling out from under us. A car behind us realized we were in trouble and motioned us to go...boy did we, about 80 in a congested area and as we were coming to the light it turned green. I yelled for her to go for it and she hung a right onto bumper to bumper traffic. She was standing up on the brake and we still had no control. We were coming up to another light and I yelled to go up on the curb to keep from wiping out the other lane of traffic. She hit the curb at about 45 and we were launched in the air and came down with a crash, our heads hitting the ceiling and then she hung a left. We were at her parking lot and taking speed bumps at 50. When I realized she was going into a parking space, I yelled, put it in park and shut it off. Luckily the park space faced a straight up hill and though we went over the curb the car just dug itself into the hill. The car was off, smoke continuing to roll. I said Can you get out and she said come around to my side, my knees are knocking. I went around, helped her out and we wobbled up the hill to her house. When we got over the initial shock we started laughing like loons. Finally someone came to the door and was complaining about how we parked. We took her outside and started telling her about what happened. She said it sounds like your accelerater stuck. My friend was telling her she couldn't pay her enough money to get back into the car and she would have to wait until she could call a wrecker or someone to move it. The woman said Where is the guy that was in the back seat? We looked at each other and said what guy? The woman said she was coming in the parking lot when we "blew" in almost hitting her and there was a very large man in the back seat. That totally freaked us out. To this day we don't know who our passenger was. But now she has a new car and she talks about what to do if your accelerator sticks(we had no clue that day). Just another example of a close call and we came away unscathed.

Crazy. This reminded me of something I experienced once. Only person I ever told was my brother.

I was sleeping normally when I became conscious. It felt like I wasn't fully in the waking reality, but at the same time not fully in the dream world either. Everyone who's ever remembered a dream knows that as soon as you wake up, you notice the difference between the two worlds. There's a distinctly different feel/hue to each realm. Well this place felt like it was the exact in-between. Everything had the color of normal reality. The vividness that the physical world presents to us. The way the bed looks, the walls, etc. But it still felt like a dream in the mental sense.

Anyway when I opened my eyes there was this face hovering right above my own. It was closer than I could stretch out my arm and it was just looking at me. It was so real in its appearance that it alarmed the hell out of me. It was just there gazing at me. A head, nothing else. No body to it at all, only a head.

And it had this strange smile on. I guess I could say the countenance was almost that of a mocking grin. But I did not like it. So I grabbed it with my hand and began to punch at it fiercely until it began to fade. At the very moment it did, there I was awake in my bed fully within the physical plane.

Til this day, I feel as though someone was spying on me. Someone evil. I wondered if it was possible that I caught someone in the act of astrally observing me. Is that even possible? I know without question this was not entirely a dream. I've had way too many lucid dreams to confuse this experience with one of those.

I wonder why only the evil ones visit me. Seems odd. Makes me think I was a very evil entity sometime in some life. They seem drawn to me.

Anyway that's another one of my weird spiritual experiences. Still waiting on a proper UFO encounter lol. Thanks for sharing your story.

In 2011 I was working in Chickopee, MA. One of my co-workers was hitting the sauce hard and doing heavy drugs. We were working seven tens, and he was looking pretty rough.

One night after work I went to his hotel room to check on him. He tried to convince me that he was alright, but his eyes were way back in his head and they looked hollow.

I asked him if he would go outside with me for a few minutes. He asked me why, and I told him that I wanted to show him something important. Finally after some jawing he agreed.

We walked out to the back parking lot of the hotel and I told him to look up at the sky. Just then a bright light appeared, and I pointed to it. Then it vanished and appeared again in a different part of the sky. This continued for about 20 minutes.

My friend was confused but excited and asked me what the light was. I told him that it was someone who was concerned about his health and his destructive addictions.

We went back inside and I told him some of my experiences. I left that job shortly after this, so I don't know if he changed his ways or not.

Enjoying all these stories I have another one.

I was in a Texas holdem poker tournament and I got taken out holding trip 7's. There was this strange, brief moment where I didn't see or hear anyone, like a phasing out moment, and I just had this odd, strong feeling that 777 means something. I couldn't get those 7's out of my head the rest of the day or night. Just a feeling I can't explain. It was driving me crazy! Thoughts and feelings like "this means something", "what does it mean".

So that night I laid down to go to bed still thinking about those 7's. I couldn't NOT think about them, it wouldn't leave me alone. With my eyes closed, a quick statement popped in my mind. "Tomorrow you'll get a call on the office phone and it will have the numbers 777." Ohhhhkayyy. Who was saying that? Was my mind talking to itself? With that, I was finally able to stop thinking about them and go to sleep.

We have a home office and it was my job to take the incoming calls. Got up the next day and sat at my desk. Hadn't thought about the 7's until after a while when the phone rang. As soon as it rang, the whole scenario came back to me and I'm thinking "Here it is. Here comes my 7's". So the guy is giving me his info and then rattles off a phone number. No 7's. I'm thinking, ya right, see, I'm just crazy, lol. He was about to hang up and said "oh wait, I'd better also give you my office number just in case xxx-x777". I hung up the phone just stunned. Like, did that really just happen. WTF is going on.

All day I was trying to explain it, figure it out. So I came up with my next move. When I laid down to go to sleep that night, I decided to confront these thoughts with a challenge. So I cleared my mind, then thought "if this is real, prove it. Give me a sign." Then a word popped into my head "butterfly". WTF? Here we go again. It came out of nowhere, meaning I didn't "think" it, it just popped into my head. This is so weird!

So next day, I get up and sit at my desk and at a certain point remembered "butterfly". So I'm assuming I'm suppose to see a butterfly as a sign, a confirmation. Here it is, the middle of winter and I'm thinking, ya right, ok, where am I going to see a butterfly. Crazy as it sounds, I actually got up and looked out the window. Nothing. So I sit back down, grab the remote and flip the tv on. First thing I see is a huge cartoon butterfly. It was a commercial for the Bambi movie and a butterfly was landing on Bambi's nose. I'm like, woah, ok this has got to be a coincidence.

So I did the same thing again... went to bed, asked for a sign, words pop in my head "broken glass". Needless to say, the next day my son was in the kitchen and I heard the shatter. He had dropped a glass on the floor and broke it. Night after night I kept doing this, for weeks! It kept happening. Mostly I'd get the sign the next day, sometimes it took a few days. I was confident enough to where I'd write them down and even tell people. I was able to prove it.

I think I have some psychic ability, but my husband just calls it psychO, haha. I told him this whole story, told him my sign for the day was "net". We're driving to go get eyeglasses and on the way we stopped at a drive-thru car wash. When we got to the exit of the wash, hanging in the corner was a net full of stuffed monkeys. I'm pointing at it telling him, there it is, there's my sign. I'm flipping out inside and he's just writing it off as chance or whatever.

So THEN I had someone else try it. I explained it all over the phone to my sister and asked her to try it that night. Next day I call her and ask her what her sign was. She said it was "cotton", but that she hadn't received it/seen it. No one else had heard this conversation. Later that day, my daughter was complaining of an ear ache or something and my husband told her to go get a cotton ball from the bathroom. I ended up calling my sister and telling her that I got her sign instead of her, lol.

Weeks of this and it was just driving me crazy. I decided I wanted more, this just wasn't cutting it, wasn't enough. I had more questions than answers. I decided to ask for a sign from my mother who was deceased. Next day I go out to get the mail and head to come back inside and there was a praying mantis sitting right on the handle of the screen door. It instantly made me think of her because I remember when I was a kid, she used to bring them in the house and let them crawl around on the curtains, etc, like it was a pet. She just loved them.

So here I am, over and over, asking and receiving. So I decide to ask for a sign for my skeptical husband. I asked for him to get a sign from his deceased father, but I didn't tell him about it. A day or two later he comes home telling me about this man that he saw that he had to do a double take on because it reminded him so much of his dad. The guy was wearing rainbow suspenders that held up his pants, just like his dad. Had never seen anyone else that wore rainbow suspenders before.

These strange things just go on and on. Then I watch Celebrity Ghost Stories and get upset because I can't get full body apparitions with a witness or with a camera or something! All I get is these annoying little signs that others fluff off and I'm just left wondering and wanting more.

Sorry this is so long, but I'm obsessed with spirit, ufos, all that. I want to know for sure before I die that my parents are still there, somewhere. That this isn't all there is. Otherwise, everything is just pointless. I don't understand why everyone doesn't seem to care, doesn't wonder, doesn't question or think about these things. It's all I can think about! It's nice to be able to let it out, even if it's just a forum, because you just can't talk to people about this stuff. They look at you like you're crazy and you're wondering it yourself, lol.

Which reminds me of something else that happened. We were playing poker at a friend's house. When we got there, there was a new guy. It was strange, as soon as I looked at him sitting in his chair, I also saw my husband's father super imposed over him. I had never met this guy and right off I just blurted out and asked him "Did you know xxx xxx?" (saying my father-in-law's name). He just looked shocked and said yes, he knew him very well, they worked together. He kept asking me how I knew that and I didn't know how I knew. Ended up saying, just psychic I guess.

Another story, my husband and I were in bed watching the movie White Noise (about evp's). It was around the time the movie first came out. After the movie was over, my husband said hey, I have a mini tape recorder. I was on that! So he went and got it and brought it back to our room. He put it on a setting so that it would only record if it picked up a sound. When it's activated by a sound, you'll see a red light come on. So he sets it on the dresser and turns it on and we just sit there quietly watching it. About a minute or two went by and we saw the light come on. We just looked at each other strangely because it was so quiet, we heard absolutely nothing, but the recorder was hearing something.

We let it go another several minutes and the light never came back on. So he finally grabbed it and played it back. It was a woman's voice whispering one word, my first name. I got chills. I said omg that sounds like me and my husband said, no, that's your mother's voice. Unfortunately, we ended up taping over it because we kept trying again and didn't end up getting anything else. At least not that night! I ended up doing lots of recordings and getting lots of evp's.

But that's all now been put on the side burner along with the signs. I'm still seeking and finding and asking for more.

You were taken the second time and experienced missing time, that is why you did not talk about it and did not want to. Usually people react that way.

Great sharing everybody.

Just want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. I also encourage everyone to keep sharing any experiences that might help our brothers and sisters.

Many are stifled by fear and confusion during these very trying times. Helping to alleviate these obstacles benefits all of us.

If anyone has any questions or comments, contact me at [email protected]

Thanks again and have a wonderful Sunday!

<Path>

Your soul mate disincarnate, longing for you. How Awesome!

Like two paired electrons, when there is a change for one, the other knows and responds. They are still a part of the entire universe, but more "quantumly entangled" with each other than with the similar particles around them.

You are blessed to have had such an experience.

We have all been, no doubt, evil and wicked at some point in our existence - all a part of the learning process.

Sometimes guides will appear in the form of something that seems evil or repulsive. Some guides are tricksters and use shock to awaken us to the fact that the world that we consider "reality" is only a minuscule sample of the available dimensions and paradigms of "realities" available.

Not all that is good is beautiful. We sometimes learn best from ugliness in the darkness.

But darkness cannot defeat even the smallest ray of light, and ultimately we return, wiser and having tread one more round of the spiral of existence.

*****

Much of my experiences have been interactions with guides. I do not deny that. But not all of them. If they were, it would suggest that my guides have a very poor understanding of who I am as an entity in this current form. I do however agree with you on your description of what our guides can appear as.

You have a positive approach and your delivery is uplifting in its nature. I appreciate the feedback.

A few layers of the veil have been removed from your awareness. Those of us who aren't asking as many questions may be blind to these experiences. It's like climbing a mountain. The higher we climb, the more we're able to see. Sometimes what we see sounds unbelievable to someone who isn't at the same elevation.

We all get there in our on time, so patience and understanding becomes a requirement in our interactions with our brothers and sisters. Those who see, but pretend to be blind... well that's a whole different story altogether.

There is little at the pinnacle of most worthy mountains to sustain us as a physical being. If we arrive there, we must mostly shed our physical selves to remain, or return quickly to a lower existence.

But having achieved the summit, what an amazing vista!

The memory makes one capable of enduring after returning to the foothills or plains of existence.

Today's strange experience is watching while the aerosols are being sprayed heavily in the skies over Hopiland. One must wonder what effects they have on the soil, water, plants, animals, and humans.

The spraying has been very heavy for the last two days especially. It's strange indeed that the money being spent on this massive aerosol operation could end world hunger many times over. And it's also strange that hardly anyone questions what is really happening.

But my love remains strong as I hope and pray for more people to become more aware of what is taking place right over our heads every day.

This is one of my biggest heartaches. I am a sky watcher. I can sit and stare at the sky for hours - day or night. It really upsets me to see them up there spraying. The big Xs over the cities are the worst - they give me a knot in my stomach when they are overhead.

Thanks for sharing your stories. They are very intriguing. I, like you, am being called to live with the Indians. My calling is a little further south to Guatemala with the Mayans. I am looking forward to the days I can spend with them learning to live in a symbiotic relationship with Mother Earth.

Thanks for the goosebumps muse_1111. I wish you well on your journey, whenever you take the plunge. I would love to stay in touch if only through emails. [email protected]

I'm curious as to whether the aerosol spraying is as prevalent there as it is here.

Much love and grace.

Namaste' OP. I have enjoyed seeing the community, openness and love shared on your thread. We Are All One!

I've was blessed with an Indigo/Asperger's child who articulated to me at 5 years old, an experience he had at 4 years old,of seeing my brother's spirit enter the home and walk over to his body to say good-bye. My son actually was taken by a friend from the home 2 hours before his physical death.

This came after, on the way home from church, my son looks down a dark street, says, "Mom, did you see those people down there?" I said, "It's too dark to see Nick." He said, "They were surrounded by light Mommy." I said, "Mommy doesn't see what you can see, however, I believe you." Then he shared the story of when he was just past 4.

He is now 24 and is still very sensitive, sees auras, energy, is a Theta Healer, knows Reiki.

Due to my son, and daughter I was set on a path of my own personal healing and spirituality. It has also put me on a road to knowledge that I wonder why I have all of this knowledge? Mmmm...I keep on learning, raising my vibration, being love.

I became an Indigo guide to many young people ages teen-30, over the years. Many would come to hang out with my son and I, some still do. I was guided by Creator, through me, not by me, to share information and experience spiritual growth.

I strive to put Love more into the forefront by sending it out from my heart into my day when I wake up. It has to come from the heart, not the head.

I had the most profound spiritual experience dancing the 2005 Naraya in Wolf Creek, OR. I returned in 2006. I have experienced much growth as a spiritual being having a human experience and prefer to "go with the flow". Synchronicity and what resonates with me is where I go.

I consider myself, empathic, psychic, Indigo Guide, Eclectic Pagan, Woman who stands up for herself...with Love. I do not hang out with anyone my own age if I can help it. Just has turned out that way.

Somewhere you said something about a healing retreat or something????? All ears for that one.

Oops! Just remembered.

Nick claims to have seen a ufo in a field by where we lived when he was 10 from his bedroom window.

A couple of years ago, Nick and I were standing in the mall parking lot in the spring waiting for his girlfriend to get off work. It was dusk and you could see the colors of the sun on the clouds to the east. We were looking at them and noticed two ufo's miles away from each other, one to the north and one to the east. They were the same brightness and not moving. I was totally thrilled, it was my first sighting.

It's nice to know there are still firsts at my age! (50+) Hahaha!

Be Love!

At around minute 50 he mentions a 3 foot tall book.

Fascinating experiences. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome post and very touching Realmlady2003. This thread has been a delight, due to posters iike yourself who aren't afraid to stand up and come forward.

There is so much that we can learn from each other, with noone excluded. We all have more in common than can be realized from the physical perspective. Some of us are breaking through the illusion and seeing these things for ourselves.

Email me and we can go from there regarding the healing retreat. [email protected]

This thread might get deleted if it looks like we're trying to 'start a cult'.

Thank you for posting this video Lucid Dreamer. Looks like we aren't the only ones who have had experiences with the big book!

Very compelling testimony IMO.
