Things (I Thought I Saw) When I Was Young

When I was young, probally around 7 or 8 I was a very happy, yet superstitious kid with a HUGE imagination, I had many vivid nightmares as well as nice dreams. I remember one night staying at a relatives house at night up by Niagra Falls, New York. I was sleeping upstairs and then I believed I woke up and saw something like a green silouhette (pardon the spelling) almost transparent. Keep in mind I don't have a vivid picture of what I saw, I just remember what I thought I was doing at that time, and after seeing "this" going under my blankets and then falling asleep. This didn't happen anymore than a minute it seemed. I woke up the next day and from then in I havn't thought of it till recently when I was sharing some discussion with friends about the paranormal. I also remember a much less frightening occasion when I woke up and seen my own face, after shaking my self off, it was gone... lol, and there have been numerous instances where I heard very loud music, and noises that bothered me as a kid too. Now keep in mind I was always fearful of 'little green people"lol.. and I notice the more I dwell on it my pessimistic #ty mind wants to blow it out of the water. So could any of you assure me that this is a natural thing that occurs sometimes, and if any of you ever experienced anything like it. "hynogogia" is the first thing that comes to mind, but I'm not sure if that applies hear, i didn't hear any noises, and again I had no specific vision. But I knew I saw something strange, could of been I was freaked out where I was, could it have been a light shining through the window, that my young crazy imagination made something bad out of it... I don't know. Just any input on this would be great from you guys...


Keep in mind I am a Dualist, I lean towards christianity, and I do believe my soul will protect me, but this # still bothers me...

Welcome to ATS first off, man.
I'm quite sure what your post has to do with aliens. Many experiences or abductees, I happen to unfortunately be in the ladder experience aliens with a gray complexion. But I do not want to discredit your experience. Sitting behind my keyboard here I can't tell you what it was you saw. You have to be the one to determine that. From my perspective it could have been many things. I do believe you saw something though. It could be the way the light was cast, from a natural source (light can be a tricky thing). Maybe a ghost? I know even here in suburbia headlights from cars can create all types of effects. Lights tend to play .
Keep it real
P.S. Lights can be a sign of alien abduction. But I've never heard of a case of a green light. You seem young for some reason. So I really wouldn't worry about that. You don't want to waste your youth with something like that.....trust me

I forgot what it is called, but when your really tired or simply apply pressure to the eyes in the darkness, you can see vivid colors dancing and pulsing about. Maybe thats the green thing you saw.

Well I'm 19, and I agree I shouldn't be consumed with this either, although weird things do tend to stick out in your mind. It's a vague memory at best, it could of been a light, going back into thought it was as if the moon was very bright that night, and since I was in a strange house, I wasn't positive of all the lights around. It just seemed to be in a erect formation of something human, but like I said before I could of been filling in the blanks with something I was dreaming (considering I woke up) and took off with that image. There was no speaking, or strange sensation, or vivid humanoid standing down from the loft in the living room. I just remember seeing something out of the ordinary, something that freaked me out a bit

oh and another thing dude, when I saw this I was in a loft with someone else, there was no way in hell I was "abducted". I guess the only fear I have is if Aliens were "real", what bad or maybe even good are they for. My dad seen alot of screwed up things living in a bad home for many years. He's a very sensible guy, holds a good job and such, but he said he's seen demonic work in action. With these things we all see, I tend to believe its the demonic world trying to "confuse" and push off track the good in humanity. Rene Descarte said confusion was the great Satan, and confusion can even lead to insanity. Now I am a realist. I believe in a good and bad realm though, and I fear what the bad can do to all of us, I just know we can fight this, even if it means neglecting it. People think people that experience this are crazy, although I know I am not, and I know alot of good people that have seen some pretty odd stuff as well. I just hope my questions can be answered is all...

thanks again

Well, children's brainwaves do operate at the delta/theta state, so reality is quite different for a child. I seen some crazy stuff as a child, don't remember them all, but dreams were sometimes very damn scary and I would awake suddenly and project that dream into the outer world for a split second. Also I remember a distinct sound with my nightmares, kinda like bhuddist monk humming or better yet silence, sounds crazy but it sounds like pure silence like I was in a cave or something, not a sound easily describable. Something I don't hear anymore.

Dude I heard that Buddhist Monk sound too before, and I was talking to my dad when I was hearing it too!! haha it's cool someone else heard that before, I remember it was like a humming, almost opera like. Weird but it's good to know other people heard the same # I heard. So anyways I'm going to leave most of that sh.it in the air, I'm still not convinced I saw something. But if I did I'm going to assume it left me alone. Probally was an elusion, but I know people see some off the wall stuff, and they are not lying.
