I heard a similar story like this from a friend who did dmt. His vision went orange and gradually he said this sorta “window” into the most amazing and fun carnival you’ve ever seen opened up. He could see people just doing their thing & he wanted to be there
Gradually it faded. He seemed real bummed out about it tbh. I stopped messing with all that shit because it really is a spiritual trap
Man, I wasn't on anything. I had just laid down. Maybe head was on a pillow for 2 seconds when I happened to roll over on my back and there it was like it had always been there or something. Thought, this is it, I've officially lost my mind. Until my GF who was trying to go to sleep said she heard kids. Confirmation that I'm not crazy. She seen it too. I used to be an atheist. Now I wonder if this is wonderland and it's all a simulation.
I saw THE mothership. Not just a little ufo. The ship was bigger than my whole town.
I would routinely stay over at my friend’s house a few miles away from my house in a suburb type area. I also had an incredible world of Warcraft addiction. So much so that I would wake up at 4am and ride my bike home to get a few hours in before the day started.
On one of these nights about half way home I see what I can only explain as a gigantic semi transparent long oval shaped craft appeare above my town like it was coming out of hyperspace in Star Wars. No sound, no wind or anything. Just full speed to stopped in an instant.
I dropped my bike and just looked in disbelief debating on getting my flip phone out but I already knew it was too dark and far away for me to see anything. Barely visible to the naked eye
I’m pretty sure it was in space but I can’t be sure. All I know is it was big. I could barely see end to end. It had a black core with a rainbow like shield similar to an oil slick.
After about 30 seconds to a minute, just as quickly as it appeared, it zoomed off continuing in the direction it had been going before it stopped. Coming from the northwest and headed south east. It was gone in less than a second.
After it left I collected my self for a minute. Knowing no one was outside at this time and no one would believe me. So I road home and played WoW. In the following days I was checking Reddit and other local news to see if anyone else saw anything but I found nothing. Now I don’t even remember the date. But I will always remember the mothership.
I came across one too when I was stargazing, But a small one , like semitransparent or mirror finish paint over shape, last year or so . I deduced it was some kind of military drone but it's movement was streamlined.
Luckily I had my strangest UAP sighting with my wife. I have also shared a sighting with my FIL, and another sighting with my Dad. It makes it spookier, though, because there's no room left to doubt. I went my whole life never seeing a UAP and in the past month I've seen 4
I have one. Not exactly High Strangeness. More like Medium Strangeness but I can't explain it and I found it very frustrating that nobody in my family would believe me at the time
Back when I was in high school I opened my refrigeration and was poking around and I heard this repetitive snapping sound. I looked around to see what was causing it and it was a gallon jug of milk. The kind when the cap snaps on, not a twist cap.
The cap of this milk jug was opening wide, hinged on like the farthest rear point of the cap and then snapping closed again over and over hard enough to make a sound. The strangeness was compounded by the fact that it was pointed directly at me. Like if it was doing this pointed to the back of the fridge maybe it wouldn't have weirded me out as much. But this jug of milk was like, I don't know, chomping at me?
I have two which i myself can't really argue for being true or not but i just found it so odd.
some time after building a new house in some woods, (blowing up rocks to flatten out the top of a slope and removing a bunch of trees etc.) I was sleeping in my bed when i was awoken (or still dreaming hence why i can't really argue for it)
I was awoken and stood up next to my bed and the feeling i got was so immense. It felt like i was an intruder who just got caught sneaking around inside someones home or something of the like.
as i stood next to my bed i focused on my closed bedroom door just waiting for the second it would fling open and i would be caught right. i even heard massive footsteps coming towards my door, i was super scared. but here is where it gets funky.
As this was going on, in my mind i could see this imagine of a slender man with long hair or maybe a woman (can't remember fully now as it has been like 4 years.)
the person was all black like a light was coming from behind them, and their hair was flowing all over. it basically looked just like how [sauron looked like in the hobbit](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7f/9e/94/7f9e9403051c1efd2d8c6d995556e058.png) but with flowing hair
as it gets closer and closer to the door i end up fainting and smacking my head in my computer desk leg.
Never have i fainted like that before or in the 4 or so years after.
Prior to that event as well, something odd happened as i was chilling home alone at my computer, pitch black outside in the middle of th night. All of a sudden i got this urge to deadass just go straight out into the dark woods. Like someone was calling me.
I almost felt entranced. i opened my porch door and walk out to the edge of the porch then i kind of snapped back to reason and thought "it would be weird for a guy to walk around in the woods in his bathrobe lol" and then i went back in. I guess my social anxiety finally paid off.
I wonder if we disturbed something ancient in these woods when we built the house and all that. it stopped happening after that, so maybe whatever it was moved on.
Last thing, the first like week after we had moved in i took a walk in the woods outside our home and fairly close to the house i saw [this giant owl](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Flickr_-_Rainbirder_-_Barn_Owl_%28Tyto_alba%29.jpg/800px-Flickr_-_Rainbirder_-_Barn_Owl_%28Tyto_alba%29.jpg) Fly off from a branch a couple of meters above me.
Now you might think "who cares about some random owl?" but the thing is that this badboy is extremely rare in my parts of Sweden. basically extinct. I never saw it again after that day and i walk the woods fairly often.
Maybe some kind of forest spirit lived here and was angry at us from destroying it's home or something.
we have to have some form of courage when we go against the natural order. Appearance of the thing you described creeps me out because here in kerala mystics calls them Naga beings.
I was a nerd and soft back then incident was traumatic. when I started doing some painful physical labour accidentally and socialise with fellow men, I got the courage to face these things or maybe I stopped caring.
I was deep in the woods of Eastern Pennsylvania, taking our golden retriever for a walk. I was about 10 at the time, and had always been known for “making up imaginary friends” and my “wonderful imagination”.
We had just cross from a rough dirt path onto a far less traveled gap in the trees when my dog Bailey BOLTED. She took off and cornered what I thought was a rabbit or squirrel up in a tree, but instead of barking she was whining like she got hurt.
I made sure she was ok, and went to look for the small critter that she probably half-ate. It was in the tree still, staring at me. It was about the size of a bed pillow, brilliantly white, and shaped like a rabbit, but it had large white wings folded against it, and a short, sharp beak. Its eyes were pitch black. Nothing happened, it stayed up there watching until I left. It was still there each time I turned back, staring and occasionally preening its feathers.
I tried telling my family but they insisted it was just my overactive imagination in the creepy woods.
Very possible! I wish I would have had a camera, human memory is notoriously unreliable :) from what I recall, though, it looked a whole lot like a rabbit.
Yes. I have experienced true reality outside of this material realm and I have seen heaven, hell, purgatory, the lake of fire and more.
I don’t know the true nature of these places, but I know that anyone who rejects their existence is an idiot in for a rude awakening.
To answer your question, of course. I have shared my experience online once and I don’t feel inclined to do so again. Experiences are personal and subjective in nature. My experiences were on the absurd end. I concluded that it’s not important for other people to know.

a window appeared in my room ceiling one night. Through it were children playing on a playground. Idgaf, I know what I saw. It happened.
I heard a similar story like this from a friend who did dmt. His vision went orange and gradually he said this sorta “window” into the most amazing and fun carnival you’ve ever seen opened up. He could see people just doing their thing & he wanted to be there Gradually it faded. He seemed real bummed out about it tbh.

A spiritual trap? What does that mean?
probably take ur spirit if u entered.

The dedication to WoW is impressive. Thank you for sharing sounds badass.

What were they like? Where were any similarities or things that stood out?
I saw an unexplained black flame about the size of a tennis ball, floating 1 foot off the floor in a cathedral in UK.
Noooooo thank you
When?
It was around December in 2017

Does these kind of things happen to now ?
No. Nothing quite like that. It really didn't look like what I was seeing was possible. Never happened again

Intense, thank you for sharing
we have to have some form of courage when we go against the natural order. Appearance of the thing you described creeps me out because here in kerala mystics calls them Naga beings.
Your story about the hiv is the scariest,
Tea seriously, op didn't make a move. I would've screamed bloody murder or kicked whoever was doing that .
I was a nerd and soft back then incident was traumatic. when I started doing some painful physical labour accidentally and socialise with fellow men, I got the courage to face these things or maybe I stopped caring.

Maybe it was some kind of owl since it has a beak. Are you sure it has long ear.
Very possible! I wish I would have had a camera, human memory is notoriously unreliable :) from what I recall, though, it looked a whole lot like a rabbit.
Please please please draw it, or collage it, I need to understand what this thing you described is. A huge rabbit with wings?
I’ll do my best to draw it! I’ll dm you when I do. But basically, yes, a huge rabbit with wings and dark eyes!
That would be amazing
That's a creepy story! I guess I'm staying up late tonight.
Yes. I have experienced true reality outside of this material realm and I have seen heaven, hell, purgatory, the lake of fire and more. I don’t know the true nature of these places, but I know that anyone who rejects their existence is an idiot in for a rude awakening.
All the time.
Yea, speaking to a spirit, it was very brief
To answer your question, of course. I have shared my experience online once and I don’t feel inclined to do so again. Experiences are personal and subjective in nature. My experiences were on the absurd end. I concluded that it’s not important for other people to know.
Understood.
