Brief summary of some of my experiences with lights, beings and OBE's.

Just Have a question about blue orbs, were they almost glittering like?

Well my take on this kind of thing is that they are your own experiences and you have to make what you will out of it. I believe you that it is not a mental health issue but that doesn't rule out psychological explainations. Psychological explanations does not equal mental illness. I didn't experience any of this so I really don't know. We're you working odd hours when you first experienced this?

They were actually like small lightbulbs, but yes very glittery around the outside.

Interesting thread Op, I hope somebody can explain what's happened to you.

Truly captivating.

before I finished reading your thread I was thinking to myself Hmmm...I am going to ask the OP if he ever got the whole body tingles...upon finishing you had mentioned that you had...I personally refer to them as being scanned...I dont broach this topic here on ATS because I have thin skin and I do not handle negative feedback very well...I just wanted to say WELCOME to the club...

Ha yeah I am over the negative stuff, I just try to remember how I felt about any of this stuff before I had experiences. I really wish I had been more gentle with people who described these things to me. But I wasn't and so now I am working hard on being gentle with those who ridicule and attack me.

Thanks, I am grateful for anyone who can read this stuff without attacking me. I am very careful with my information, everything I described happened, whatever it is. There was much more detail but limited characters meant I had exclude a fair bit. I don't understand it but it certainly adjusted me a little.

EVERYONE should read this, I think it is the answer after many years of research

My sister has experienced sightings, ghosts, being trapped and unable to breath in her bed and much more. Some experiences pleasant others terrible.

I spent many years looking into her situation as I know her to be a very rational person that does not read about or pay any attention to any conspiracy theories, religion, ufo's etc...

All my research has led to the fact that she has Sleep Paralysis and Hypnagogic Hallucinations. These issues affect one in five people! Its a huge number.

Have you ever laid down by the TV and watched a program and someone changes the channel and you say what are you doing I was watching that and they say you were asleep? But you could hear everything?
That is an example of a stage of sleep where you can be in a hallucinogenic way but still be awake.

This explains in many cases why peoples experiences are so real, its because they are real to the person. This condition has been around for thousands of years and is depicted in many books going back hundreds of years. (Google "goblins sitting on chest" or something like that).

I love forums like this, channels like Alex Jones etc.. I listen to them often and take good and bad and use that information to find the most rational explanations for things. I am not a disbeliever of any kind I just like to try to rule everything out first.

Doctors do not have a clue about this issue and will happily send people to the nut house. many people with this issue feel that they cannot tell people because they know that people will think they are crazy, so the 95% of these issues are never reported to doctors.

You need to see a sleep specialist who specializes in sleep paralysis, Just to rule it out.

The only questionable thing is that you and the other person in the car with you both saw the same thing. But there are many times I have experienced strange things that have later turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of kids with remote control toys or a low flying military plane. Who knows maybe even a new government machine/plane that we have no idea about. But do not let that one instance when someone else is around tie itself to your other experiences that are all related to sleep or tiredness.

It is thought in the sleep paralysis and Hypnagogic Hallucinations world that almost all aliens, demons and ghost sightings are a result of this. This is why the experience is real and almost all the people are of a sane mind when they speak of them.

I am not saying that aliens, ghosts etc,.. are not possibly real but I am saying that the many years of research have led to the person having some form of sleep condition that 1 billion of us have experienced in our lifetimes.

I hope that you can find the right sleep specialist to at least rule this out.

And for everyone else, watching a video on youtube about Hypnagogic Hallucinations will blow your mind. Watch it because its just as incredible as seeing a ufo video or something like that.

This is my first ever post on here as I prefer to read and only chime in when I have something to say that I can back up.

One last thing, my sister is very grateful for the information I have found and it has helped her deal with this issue greatly.

Thank you, I have explored these areas, there was no sleep issues that could be found and that would not explain the multiple witness events either. I spent 2 years trying to figure this out scientifically and medically but after more needles, scans and monitoring than I care to remember they came up with nothing and unfortunately the situation continued. However it has become quiet over the past few months so perhaps whatever it is/was is over?

reply to post by Charlyboy


Thanks for sharing. The important stuff, perhaps, is :

What will you do with all this experience? What will you make of it? What will you do?

Everything else - esp. debating the validity or veracity of such experiences is really in the end, useless.

Also, my recommendation is that be VERY weary of people who claim to have a single pet theory/explanation (their own) to explain your experience. Be that sleep paralysis/hypnaegogic illusions/OOBE/endogenic '___' hallucination/temporal psychosis/whatever.

People will only try to fit your reality into their own narrow boxes that they have.

It's your reality, your experience. Only you can make sense of it -- although others may give you hints or clues.

If you want to confuse yourself even more, consider reading:

www.amazon.com...

And no, I don't claim it's _THE_ answer either.

The multiple witness events could be unrelated. "Connecting" them might be throwing you off. I have sleep apnea which can cause odd sleep patterns and lead to sleep paralasys. It might be worth having a sleep study done. That's the only way to rule out sleep problems.

If you are telling the truth, and I'll assume for the purpose of this post, that you are, you are describing the classic indicia of the abduction phenomenon. There are ways to get to the bottom of what is going on but you may not like the answers you find.

If you want to take it further, contact Mary Rodwell at www.acern.com.au... and she will put you in touch with people who can help.

You are not alone. There are estimated to be millions of people around the world describing the same strange experiences.

If you are lying then a pox on your house for wasting my time ...Lovely spot the Tasmanian Highlands btw - know them well..

Thank you for sharing! I have also had similar experiences
On and off throughout my lifetime. I remember being unable to move, and
Have also seen these beings. I remember the feeling and always knew when
They were coming, and would try to relax in mind and body. A few times I remember
Feeling like I was brought out of my bed feet first and remember
Communicating that I wanted to continue but asked if they could help me block out the details
Of any memory that would cause fear or overwhelming to me.
Just recently I meditated and communicated that I would like to start being aware of
My "visits" and am hoping to gain more insight into this and clear memories of past and future
Visits with these beings, who are essentially our brothers and sisters, as is every human is.
My most compelling memory was going to sleep one night and being woken up by them and brought
Outside (no memory of physically going outside), by beings that resembled human beings.
All I cam remember of that one was they told me I had a purpose and was involved in
What was to come and was told in time I would know everything I needed to know to
Fulfill my purpose. I don't know what they meant, I do know they shared information with me,
But no memory as to what it was I was told. It is my belief that somehow we are
Working for the greater good of all living things, and I am assuming it may have to
Do with the possibility of the human race being re-aquatinted with
Other life forms and that we have in the past but our memories have been lost and forgotten.
Who knows, but I know this much, we are NOT alone, they are not evil and we all come from
The same creator or God if you will. It is hard for me to understand how close minded people
Can be, to think that we are so important that there is no possibility of other life beyond our earth!
Some will say we can only know what we experience, but for me that is not so.
It feels good to be able to tell a tiny part of my experiences and hope that
Someday we can as the human race find acceptance for other humans and acceptance
That there is so much more to our life, our world and our creator than we could have imagined.
If we could just open our minds and our hearts and souls we can be and do so much more
Than we ever thought possible.

Mary Has become a good friend to me over the past 2 years. Thanks for your response, and yes the tassie highlands are beautiful.

First of all I have to admit I'm a bit jealous.
I believe, yet have never seen anything that couldn't be explained.
I really really want to see a UFO. I'll even take a USAF giant triangle
at this point. But to have the experiences you've had?? I'm jealous as I said before.
Any advice for someone like me, living in the hill country in Central Texas
scanning the skies nightly? Should I be thinking of something specific as I'm looking around?

Very interesting Charlyboy, your accounts are on par with people like Stan Romanek, who also has stuff happen to him almost exclusively when he's in company of other people and he also has taken pictures of the "shadowy figures" appearing in his house etc. But of course, here he is seen as a hoaxer because, oh my god, he sells books where he has written down all his accounts and has the pics in it too. But thank goodness for youtube because you can watch a 2h long presentation from him about these events. Do you have any picture material you could share with us?

reply to post by sealing


Mate I have no idea... It just seemed to happen then it would stop. Then it would happen again. The problem is you do get a bit excited when it happens, then scared and then bored when it stops. You find yourself wandering around a little thinking ok now what?? My best suggestion is to watch the night sky as often as you can. I asked a friend of mine who asked me the same question if he believed. He told me he did, I said well you don't have to see them do you! I don't think screaming as loud as you can in your head to see something can hurt.....

I have a picture of a blue light I saw one night in Washington state, the only time I had a camera... I will try to post it when I get a chance. Its a bit odd because I saw a blue light but the picture picked up something different.
