Strange Happenings: Aliens, Ghosts, Bigfoot, Nessie, Etc.

It is a weird thing, and Like most things "Extra-Ordinary"

If you've gone through all reason, but Can't find a sutable reasonabe answere then you can go "OMG Aliens!"

There was a story about an old guy who got abducted and probed and found that he had new teet growing!

[Veriantor]

I heard of people saying the aliens use them for breeding reassure or something. For males they would take some of there sperm and they will take some eggs from females.

@Lux: o__o What a weird story!


@Veriantor: I've heard a lot of that too. Actually it's the main "reason" that I hear about. xP

[Lux-Vertas]

[Chu]

Odd. That's... hm. I can't really respond to it. XD

Oh, what about government conspiracy theories? Like ones involving the government hiding the existence of aliens for one reason or another. I find those more interesting than anything. x3

[Lux-Vertas]

[Chu]

I know what you mean. XD I think the alien ones are the most popular though, from what I've heard.

I know a little girl who was electrocuted and her entire are was black when her mom found her. She ended up being flown to the Hospital in a Helicopter and when she got there her arm was completely fine.

[Chu]

o__0 I literally widened my eyes and tilted my head after reading that.

Weird...

Gah, Chu's speechless. DX It's so hard to do but it's happened twice in this thread.

[Lux-Vertas]

Wow that story was weird!

My friend had a story that her granddad was in a navy bed, and one night he felt something like someone sitting there, so he woke up thinking it was his bunkmate, but no one was there, but there was an impression in the bed!

I've never experienced anything supernatural myself, I believe. If I have, it might've been just very, VERY subtle. In fact, I probably wouldn't believe at all if it weren't for the many documented accounts and the fact that two of my best friends have encounters on a weekly basis.

Example 1: My friend Laura used to live in a leased house before Hurricane Ike. One night while I was staying over, I strolled into the kitchen to get a drink. The living room and the adjoined kitchen felt a tad too cold to me since here in Texas summer stretches all the way to November. I just tossed it up to her parents having the AC on (also common here since the heat doesn't die out at night). While I got my drink, I stopped and looked around. It felt as though someone was watching me...though there wasn't a real presence to the "eyes." Well, after a minute or two I went back to Laura's room and didn't come out til the next morning. My other friend Emily was there once as well with her boyfriend, and he said he saw a shadow in the living room (which would have been strange since the lights are high on the ceiling and cast light in a down angle). Said house was down the street from a cemetery. Let that sink in a bit.

Example 2: My friend Emily has a younger brother. He won't sleep in his own bedroom for anything. Instead, he sleeps on the living room sofa. It turns out that the bathroom connected to his bedroom is haunted. I never went inside to see for sure, but once when Emily and I were fetching something from the room at about 10pm, we heard a loud "thud" from inside the bathroom. We were the only ones in the room, everyone else was in the living room. We bolted out of there fast.

Also, another bit of Texas strangeness taken from http://gorvtexas.com/aurora.htm

In Aurora, TX 1897, something crashed from the sky into a windmill. It was a small craft of some sort, and naturally, the locals didn't know what on Earth it was. They found a life form in the craft, which didn't survive the flight, and gave the alien a proper burial in the Aurora cemetery. These days, the grave marker for the extraterrestrial is gone so as to hide its location from the press and such.

Stranger still, "a North Texas State University professor had found some metal fragments near the Oates gas station (former Proctor farm). One fragment was said to be 'most intriguing' because it consisted of primarily of iron which did not seem to exhibit magnetic properties." The professor also said he was puzzled because the fragment was "shiny and malleable instead of dull and brittle like iron."

Weird Texas, indeed!

The Texas Highway Department erected a historical marker near the cemetery where the "creature" is said to be buried.

I actually wanna see the marker now, because I see many of them near my home due to my county being the birthplace of the state's flag. Seeing a marker about aliens would just tickle me.

[Odd]

I'm a bit selective about the whole supernatural thing. I'm certain bigfoot is a hoax, and I'm disgusted by how many people in my own country think that A) Aliens are smarter than us just because they're aliens and B) That they travel unimaginable distances just to abduct us and make crop circles. On the other hand, I do hope that the Loch Ness monster is real, and I really, truly *believe* in faeries. I believe in faeries so much that I carry iron with me on Halloween in case they cross over when the border between worlds is at it's weakest. As for ghosts, I kind of hover on that issue. I believe ghosts exist, but at the same time, whenever people talk about ghost sightings I immediately assume they're either making it up or seeing things.

In general, the more conspiracy theories there are about something, the less likely I am to give it any credit.

my schools electric system is possessed. such as lights blinking randomly and T.V. sets on the school news channel sill visible but covered in static

[Amlynd]

Aha, now this is a subject I know something about!

Lots of people are skeptical on the issue of ghosts, and that's alright. I'm not going to tell you to believe in ghosts just because I saw one, as long as you don't tell me not to because you haven't. If seeing is believing, well, then I'll be believing in ghosts for years and years to come, because I've seen my fair share.

A few examples...I'll try to make these short, so as to avoid the "walls of text" syndrome.

1. When I was very young, I had a room that was completely and utterly filled to the brim with teddy bears (and various and sundry other sorts of bears as well). Stuffed bears, ceramic bears, bear paintings, bear photographs...You name it, if it had something to do with teddy bears and it was something a child my age could have, it was likely in my room.
   
   Apparently, I also had a tendency to talk to these bears, which isn't that odd for a child of three or four. They've got active imaginations, the blessed little beasts. But it was getting to the point where I wasn't sleeping at night, and finally, one night, Mom stumbled in to find me talking to these bears, and asked me just who I was talking to. Well, I told her, not thinking anything of it, that I was talking to my pretend grandma in the bear, Marguerite. I told her that Marguerite made the bears dance for me.
   
   A great grandmother of mine who had passed away shortly before my birth had been named Marguerite, and I'd never met the woman or heard anything about her, so Mom was understandably a little spooked. I put her through that sort of thing a lot as a child, though.
   
2. This one is considerably more recent than the former, but a lot shorter. My family is a little neurotic about turning off things like televisions and speakers before we sit down to eat, because my mother and I get migraines, and sometimes the extra noise can set our headaches off. Not a pretty sight when it's both of us. This particular evening, we had just sat down to dinner when we hear a shout from our back room--all four of us, though, not just one of us. We're checking speakers, which we've turned off like usual, and windows, which we've closed, and we can't find the source of it.
   
   The creepy part, though, is we had just been talking about how my older sister thought the house was haunted.
   
3. Perhaps the least comforting paranormal experience I've ever had, however, is a man in red, whom I first experienced my Freshman year of high school three years ago and have seen ever handful of months ever since. There's really no way to describe him, aside from him being an external presence inside my dreams, something that I've always been a little afraid of. He shows up from time to time in dreams I've had since childhood, or occasionally in dreams of a newer make, all with the same quality. I can't wake up until they're finished.
   

I'm not looking to make a believer out of anybody with my stories, of course, since they're mine and not yours, but I thought I'd share my experiences. It's nice to share those kinds of stories with people (especially if some of them don't think you're crackpots).

Oh, and if anyone has any idea about my mysterious man in red, I'd really like to hear what you think. I'm farther from solving that riddle than I ever have been, I feel.
