another paranormal experience.... This one happened just before I woke up with water on my laptop in my bed. I really want to get others opinions on this. Ok. The garage apartment I was living had another guy living below me. His nickname was "termite". I think he just turned 53.
He's an alcoholic. And everyone thinks he has lost his mind, but I don't think so. He is highly intelligent, reads 3- 5 books a week, plus newspapers, old magazines. Anything he can read, he reads. He is articulate when he isn't totally blasted off malt liquor.
He has been living with my old landlord for about 20yrs. He has always lived behind the house in a shed of some sort, and actually sleeps in the yard in sleeping bags. He has told me he actually prefers it to sleeping inside. He used to be very successful, and at one point had 4 painting crews. At that time he made more money than my landlord, and used to loan and give money to him when his daughters were little.
Then something happened to his mind, and he just quit. Quit everything. Just laid in the yard and drank. When he ran out of money, he would work about a week or two, then he would drink and smoke all day again until he ran out. And repeated this cycle over and over again until this day.
He has almost died on multiple occasions. But he always pulls through. Last year he was in the hospital for almost two months.
Well, now, he weighs 63 pounds. 63 pounds. He looks just like the Holocaust victims. Most people freak when they see him. It doesn't bother me at all for some reason. Because, well, he actually seems content. And he's fun to talk too, if you can get past his appearance.
He's 63 lbs, all his teeth are rotted out, broken off at the gum line, he pisses and poops in his pants constantly. He smells GOD AWFUL. All he does all day is drink malt liquor, and smoke cheap cigarettes.
Ok, now that I've got that description out of the way, I'll get to my point. I actually think that ET's are studying him. I think this because if I was an ET, I would probably think this human is interesting. Imagine if you were a scientist, and you had 10 rats in a lab, and one of those rats, sat in the corner and drank beer and smoked cigs all day and never moved and never ate food, while all the other rats ran around and did normal rat activity, I would think I would want to observe that particular rat. I would want to know, how is this thing living, and what caused it.
One night, he was sitting at the bottom of the steps that led up to my apt. He was incoherent and obnixously drunk. He was carrying on a conversation with his "invisible" friends. This had been going on for hours. Like 12 hours. I went out and told him to "shut up and go to bed". He told me to "mind my own business".
I went back inside, and he got quite. I was thinking "great, he finally went to sleep."
Around 11pm, I heard this really loud POP!!! I turned the radio down. Nothing. A few minutes later, POP.... This went on for a few minutes, and then POP. I went outside. I was perfectly calm night, no wind. Just hot humid southern night with the bugs making noise.... POP!!! I almost came out of my skin. I ran down the steps and woke up my landlord.
We went outside and I told him something in the tree in the backyard of the next door neighbor was making a noise I could not figure out. We stood out in the yard, in the dark, with just some light coming from the open back door....
We stood there for a good 5-10min and my landlord was like "ARE YOU MAKING THIS UP!"
POP!!!! He literally jumped back like 3 feet. He eyes were wide open and he was like "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Then the sounds picked up, rapid Pop Pop POP, and creeking sound. He ran in and grabbed his high beam flashlight, and ran over to the back of the neighbors yard. When he turned on the flashlight and shined it in the direction on the noise, there was some quick movement and then nothing. The neighbor had a giant water oak tree. The thing had litteraly split down the middle and half the tree was on its side, covering the entire backyard. The rest of it was standing. The tree was not rotten on the inside. It was alive and well. You could smell the sap, it was fresh. Not like a pine tree smell, but like a freshly cut oak smell.
Landlord was just staring at it. Then all of a sudden, "Termite" yells out from the dark, "TURN THE DAMN LIGHT OF WILL YA!!!" Landlord was like what the hell are you doing back here. He said "I'n reading a book, whats it look like".... Termite was in the pitch black back yard, no light, in the bushes. He got up, picked up his beer and book, and stumble in back into the garage.
Me and the landlord just looked at each other like WTH!!!
My only thoughts about this, maybe Termite was abducted, and a craft came down and accidently knocked the tree over with it weight? No clue.
About a week later, the tree company came out and cut up the tree, and all the grass in the backyard was brown and dead.
Termite has no recollection of that night. I asked him the next day what was making all that noise, he was said "What the hell are you talking about?" Me and the landlord just shook our heads.

That was actually a very good thread.
I just watched the video a few weeks ago for the first time and was blown away by some of it.
