Timble2 wrote: Timble, once again you've launched into unsolicited personal criticism and have succeeded in appearing bitter and unpleasant. You are clearly attempting to provoke, lol, despite my pleasant responses following your personal attacks in a separate thread. Is it that you...

Re: handwriting, I might have posted this before too, but never mind. We'd completed stocktake during a frantic weekend; thousands of individual item batches. After the weekend, someone came up to me with a completed form that had got lost in something. They recognised my handwriting and...

OldTimeRadio wrote: Agree, OTR, I suspect the 'pure evil' perceived as being the old woman's face may in fact have been the tortured face of an old woman who was being tormented and terrified by something akin to evil. God help her indeed and all in her condition.

Mossy_Sloth wrote: How chilling. How horrifying, to be inside that old woman's mind, to be alone, in terror, whilst surrounded by people and the usual clatter and chatter. Like being in a waking-nightmare, unable to get out. I wonder if she was seeing the little people common to...

We may ask 'what is beauty' in the same way as 'what is evil'. Is evil, like beauty, defined in/by the eye of the beholder? In earlier posts, I've tried to illustrate that it's perfectly possible to become desensitised to human type monsters and at the same time, perhaps, come to understand...

In addition to ordinary human violence/terror displays, I've experienced some paranormal/supernatural events; not an enormous number by any means. I've never tallied them up, but it's sort of interesting the way most of them have been different, rather like being given a Whitman's sampler box...

Was just about to depart again, Pietro, when I saw your last post. I understand what you're saying and much of it is sound, as far as it goes. But there's more I'm sorry to say, imo. An example: When I was 12 or 13 years old, I entered a kitchen to find 'Jane' stirring something at...

Then returned, 3/4 of hour later because once I rose from my numb bottom and started moving, the blood was able to circulate and something in one of OldTimeRadio's posts occurred to me. It concerned the police radio-operator who was discovered hiding beneath his desk after a visit from the...

Pietro_Mercurios wrote: Yep. Some people (myself included) post their experiences, I think, principally in order they might provide some unknown soul, now or five years into the future, with a bit of reassurance and to let them know they aren't alone and that someone, even if far distant...

Pietros_Mercurios wrote: Absolutely no need, Pietros, although your follow-up is appreciated :-) Sometimes, people feel the need to clarify a matter for the sake of those who choose (possibly through lack of confidence) to read without comment. For instance a worried parent may log into...

Tattooted's post pretty much sums up my attitudes; a sort of ignorance-is-bliss hopefulness. Keep walking, keep humming, look for an exit, follow the sun, don't look, don't acknowledge. Past few years have been lovely and virtually incident free. I'm hoping I've grown out of it and long may...

Techybloke wrote: That's a really nice sentiment, Techybloke666 :-) My mother was very similar to you -- virtually fearless when it came to the dark and dark places. Actually, I think issues become greatly magnified when they're the focus of discussion, as in this thread. I'm...

Apologies for consecutive postings here, but I'm on the underside of the planet and so am awake whilst many of you are sleeping, followed by the reverse. Have to post when opportunities present themselves in this part of the world. OldTimeRadio wrote: You just keep coming up with these...

MercuryCrest wrote: Yes, that describes it perfectly. And, as OldTimeRadio's advised, the fear and subsequent need to coocoon the feet doesn't diminish with increasing age. There has to be a reason so many people fear their feet being 'grabbed'. I'm reasonably confident that most...

Ah --- I neglected to ASK !!! WHERE is the self-righteous clique's defence of poor DINGO ? Where ? Lead me to it, because I haven't seen it. Where are those decrying lizard's childish, vindictive, jealous and twisted rant again Dingo and Dingo's experiences, etc ?? Gee, people...

Ah well, as they say: 'Give them an inch ...' Timble, as usual, has grasped the wrong end of the stick entirely, in her haste to lambast me, lol. Read it all again Timble, please, and when you get to the section where I was defending Tilly against the nonsense posted as 'scepticism' by...

OldTimeRadio: Thank you OldTimeRadio. I was browsing the forums a week or more ago, perusing topics of particular interest and came across a thread entitled: 'House Demons' (I think it's in IHTM) in which Stanforda had posted a link to an experience I posted a few years ago (here in...

LOL ! :-) LOL ! Oh, my brain hurts, thanks to Sallywaffle and Stormcan's convoluted hair-splitting, lol. Honestly, I'm aching from laughter ! Oh, thank you, lol. And to think they say Fortean is a burnt-out waste-land ! NO ! I say. NO --- Fortean is still a force in...

OldTimeRadio asked: I can't say, unfortunately. I don't think the woman in question mentioned it. From the sound of it, her carriage was in reasonably close proximity to the disused railway line because there were unoccupied carriages nearby. Her husband had apparently scavenged from...

Uh huh. Fine. But 'whoa there' what? The original poster, Tilly, was quite sure of the reality of her experience. She'd experienced many similar. Subsequent posters were convinced of the reality of Tilly's experience and of their own in similar vein. The discussion concerned...

I'm glad you were able to get the hissy-fit out of your system, Lizard :-) Now that's out of the way, why not come back and leave all those preconceived opinions etc. at the door. You're here in a Forteana forum. Yet when you come across people discussing their individual items of...

As Dingo said, most people don't seek these experiences. Very often they're spontaneous -- troubling -- unwanted. The movies often portray psychics as exotic, charismatic, dramatic, etc. But in the real world, psychics are often extremely ordinary. They don't refer to themselves as...

Lizard said: . You may not have much problem in saying it, as long as you remember to restrict your 99% figure to your own nightmares and experiences. You said: Once again a generalisation that has as its basis your own unpleasant visions. What applies to you is not necessarily true of...

Sorry that you lost friends, Tilly. It's happened to me too. Sad, but never mind -- we make new ones, don't we. And your husband sounds lovely. Years ago, when young, I shared a house with my boyfriend's two sisters. To be honest, I didn't get my feelings hurt when they had locks...

I realised it was a typo, OldTimeRadio :-) Getting back to your childhood fears of Hag-type entities, because it's interesting, isn't it? You say you had never seen/experienced the Hag, yet you were nonetheless terrified of a visitation by same. Chicken or egg ~~~ chicken or egg ~~~...

OldTimeRadio wrote: . Yes ! In fact, it's tempting to suspect there's a plot afoot; an organised disinfo campaign. By coincidence, last night I was browsing a site completely unrelated to the Hag. It was just a regular blog by a man who writes on any and every topic. Within his blog...

OldTimeRadio: yes, the strange creature on the bridge was witnessed by my son and myself. I was told last year that the bridge in question is now closed and a modern one built in it's place. Apparently the old bridge and its approaches had been the scene of several deaths in recent years...

I've heard of cases where concerned members of the public can make private application offering to take responsibility for homeless and displaced persons. Maybe you could do that ... it's possible the authorities would grant you a form of custody re; the nameless man, on the condition you...

Ah well, what can we make of this : the monk who successfully foresaw the winning Lottery number, 11 weeks in a row. It was in one of the larger Australian newspapers, in the late 1990s. The monk -- in Laos I think -- was taken into custody and the government cancelled the national...
