My most paranormal experience aside from reading shape cards and the like, was witnessing Ball Lightening.
This is a phenomenon not many people actually know about. It's one of those things that's supposed to be impossible. I swear I've seen something.
Ball lightening is just that: a ball of lightening. It looks like a glowing ball of light and normally lasts 2-4 seconds. It can move. It can change direction.
The part that terrified me (thank you Discovery Channel
) is that supposedly, ball lightening can go through glass windows and the like. It doesn't ignite on random things like couches, but it if touches human flesh, you immediately combust - the show was offering ball lightening as one of the many explanations for internal combustion.
Anyway, as creepy schit like that scares me (as do ghosts, which I also don't believe in) seeing the glowing ball drift up the driveway during a thunderstorm terrified me. It even had a reflection in a puddle, so I know it wasn't something high in the air reflecting into the puddle; it was visually clearly a few feet off of the ground.
It scares me to this day. I hate that stuff!!

I don't know if I've posted this before, but if I have oh well.
A few years ago my cousins brother in law died unexpectidly. He was confined to a wheel chair and had spinabifida, but was overall really healthy. He had just gotten back from mayo a week later (i think that's what it's called, to see if he had any health problems?) and one night we were all watching the butterfly effect, and we got a call at 12:01 am saying that Justin had just died. Anyway, the night was awful and i was left alone with triplets and a scared 9 year old, while I was scared out of my wits.
A few weeks later, the family had gotten together, justins dad had taken justins cellphone, taken the battery out and put it on the shelf in his bedroom, completely off. A while later, he was sitting outside and his dads phone rang, and on the caller id it said "justins cell"
i dont know, but that's creepy to me. He went upstairs and justins cellphone was still sitting on the shelf, battery out and all.

| Share any of your paranormal stories, and explain them if you can.
Have you gone through anything else birch, have anything else to share? Here's mine, it was painful. I have a few more also. I was out in the backyard having a smoke, looking around, ya know, doing the animal thing, when I decide to take a left turn, I go a few steps in that direction when all of a sudden something incredibly eerie(and painful) happens. I get shocked out of nowhere, it was a fairly intense jolt of what felt like electricity, i've been shocked before and that's exactly what it felt like, blessings on it was surprising and painful. However, the eerie part is that exactly when I was shocked a face made out of this neonish bluish whitish light appeared directly in front of my face. It resembled a vampire. This face had sharp teeth, not all of them, like a vampires sharp teeth. And it was smiling a rather menacing smile. It was a slendor face, a very commanding and powerful and slick look to it. And as soon as it appeared it was gone. It really freaking hurt. So, you can probably tell by the way I am explaining this that I don't know what it was or what it was about, or why it happened. Perhaps someone would care to shed some light on this. Anybody? body body body body body body body(echoes into nothingness) |
I'm definitely a skeptic so you can just ignore this if you want. I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble or make you feel like I don't believe you.
But if you were shocked (which that I can't explain, any loose wires in your yard? eek...
) then it is probable that you would experience visual symptoms- your brain can do any number of crazy things when unusual electricity flows through it. And you probably saw an image because our brains have this amazing ability to make meaning out of nothing (gestalt, anyone?)
The fact that you were randomly shocked in your yard worries me. The fact that you saw something as a byproduct of being shocked seems natural.

| No loose wires man. I was on concrete and there was nothing on it. It worries me to. It seemed the opposite way around, not the shock causing the face but the face causing the shock. |
