Image I've posted before, probably best captures detail of tentacled version
I don’t really know how to write this up properly, because it’s not one single or really concrete “encounter” or experience- there’s been lots of things I’ve experienced that I really can’t be sure whether or not to assign it to them, my mind (although many of them are irrefutably NOT hallucinations, as they’ve been experienced by others as well), or something else entirely.
You’ve probably seen me post in comment sections before, a similar image to one lot of these creatures (?) that I’ve more or less gathered into these basic body plans.
The reason I’m making this post is because I need to know if anyone else, at all, even remotely, has experienced them before in some capacity. I’ve seen so many posts that are just that tiny bit different from the scenarios I’ve had with them.
Now, I’m not going to share every seemingly supernatural encounter I’ve had, as I don’t know which I can safely assign to these specific beings, but I will tell as much as I do concretely know.
Starting off, most of the time, they’re invisible- or- on some other “plane,” I don’t know, I’m not really all that knowledgeable in all this metaphysical stuff, despite numerous experiences in it/with them.
When I was younger, I thought that most of the time they were “ghosts,” (maybe they are? I don’t know.) but I would see them sometimes ‘flicker’ into reality for a bit, always, unfortunately, on my own. Nothing taken seriously by those who didn’t see them, because of course, little kids are very imaginative.”
As a few others have made posts about here that I’ve seen, have had “closed eye” experiences, seeing things that ‘aren’t there,’ I would be able to see them with my eyes closed, not many- but always more than one- just- walking around, almost everywhere.
I’ve seen them in “dreams” that become lucid, whether they’re there, or what- and during a meditation/attempt (maybe successful?) outer-body astral projection experience, where I experienced several days in half an hour.
They’ve been able to touch me, and others, too, in the present.
I don’t know what other attributes I can consistently assign to them beyond acting “poltergeisty,” lifting my hair, and general prodding, petting, etc.
(I’ve had some more encounters too, but not ones I can generalize, nor that I particularly feel like talking about.)
I live in a rather secluded part of the country, away from any major cities- and almost every night, the dogs on our property go nuts, all of them at the same time, barking, scared, like something is there- and there isn’t.
Throughout my life, Me, My Siblings, Parents (including my father, who is immensely skeptical of anything even remotely ‘supernatural.’) have had similar encounters.
(forgive the terrible note-book sketches, it was the most plentiful source of paper on hand at the moment, to display both examples of beings as they've "appeared" at the same time, and not overdo the amount of images in this post, sorry, thankyou.)
