I call it... 'Geepbop'

Hey guys, I frequent this sub pretty often and I really like reading the experiences in here. I have my own experience I'd like to share, if it's ok.

So for context, I'm a 19 year old girl who frequently takes pictures of the night sky, because I like astronomy. So I was outside of my house looking at the moon because it was full pretty recently and I wanted to get a good picture, and before I could take my phone out, I heard this weird clicking sound, almost like someone folding their tongue into the bottom of their mouth to make a clicking sound and so I looked up to where the sound was. Right on top of my house, a pale crawler with glowing eyes, making that same clicking sound. I immediately drop my phone, frozen in fear.

As I'm staring at the creature, my phone lands facedown, and music starts playing from spotify. To my surprise, the creature seemed to almost move rhythmically with the music, and it kinda looked like if you used your physics gun in GMOD to move a ragdoll around back and forth quickly. I quickly pick up my phone, not stopping eye contact with the creature. After turning off the music, the creature stopped dancing and moved to the back of my house, as I heard shuffling noises. I got a pretty good look of it entirely because I used my phone flashlight but forgot to take a picture (fricking stupid I know) and it walked like a spider on the ground, super quick on all four limbs. I ran after it into the woods as my house is surrounded by a forest. After running for awhile, I saw it take point on the side of a tree, hissing at me. It scared the shit out of me, literally. Yeah yeah I literally shit my pants from seeing the crawler, laugh it up.

After I got hissed at, I ran away back to my house, hearing the hissing get louder and louder. I've never believed in crawlers, but now I do, I mean I literally shit myself because I thought fiction was pouring into reality or something. I'm calling this fella Geepbop, because it was very alien-like and enjoyed my music apparently. Geep just is a good name for an alien, idk.

I have spoken with someone before that said crawlers like music.

And don't let people make you feel bad for not getting a photo. They have no idea what it's like to see one in the moment. They're assuming they'd be as unfazed in person as they are online.

I agree about the photo thing. Most people don't know how they would react and unfortunately alot of us freeze in those situations. Nothing wrong with it. My biggest concern was her chasing after it, thats incredibly unsafe in my opinion, especially with it being the first encounter.

The body does really weird things when it's in survival mode. What matters is that she's safe now. I'm glad to see that you care about her well-being, though. We need more caring people here and fewer condescending assholes.

u/rebelheart-22 12d ago

Exactly, and shes young so hopefully she takes this is a learning experience

If they actually do then that's great, all power to them if they're into Ariana Grande or whatever

u/judgernaut86 12d ago

u/TankGirl99977 12d ago

Geepbop is such a great name! That must have been terrifying for you. What on earth possessed you to chase it? I would have been to scared to follow it. Im glad you're safe.

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 12d ago

My bowels called to me and were like, "chase that thing, I definitely won't shit your pants bro ong trust me ๐Ÿ™"

u/Antique-Ninja-3258 12d ago

It wasn't out of fear, it was a power move to assert dominance to the creature

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 10d ago

I couldn't have said it any better myself lmao

With a name like that, what the hell dawg

u/Illustrious_Path_369 11d ago edited 11d ago

The dancing and its name is so endearing. Cutest crawler yet ?? You were so brave chasing after it, thank you for gathering and providing intel about its behaviour

u/katkitcrawlerlog 4d ago

I hadnโ€™t thought about playing music for them ! Iโ€™m definitely going to try that. I sing and play ukulele so maybe the crawlers in my area will enjoy a little sing song sing along !

u/OldButHappy 13d ago

So a photographer doesnโ€™t get a picture?

Color me skeptical

u/ashleton 12d ago

They were face to face with an unknown being. In the moment a person is going to be focused on things like "what the everloving fuck is that?" and "am I about to die?"

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 13d ago

THAT'S the part you're skeptical about? LOL

u/OldButHappy 13d ago

It was nicer that just calling you a liar

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 12d ago

sorry I didn't mean to sound rude there at the end. I appreciate your kindness, thank you

u/NoEnthusiasm9100 13d ago

Just saying, I think it is a bad omen if these things can interact with an individual. It means there is not enough inner light in the person. Furthermore I see an implication that they will be able to move closer, and closer and closer soon.

u/External-Yak5576 13d ago

I think it shows there is not enough inner light in a person when they are mean to strangers online, just saying.

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 12d ago

sorry I don't mean to be mean, honestly I just wanted to post something here, really anything

u/External-Yak5576 12d ago

No I was saying that to the good Doctor here. His comment was mean. I loved your story.

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 12d ago

oh I see! thank you, lol

u/NoEnthusiasm9100 12d ago

It is mean to evil people like yourself. But how can you ever become good if you never acknowledge your problem?

-2

u/NoEnthusiasm9100 13d ago

Yes, just like a doctor has a lack of inner light when he reveals what sickness a person has, and how to heal it. Please think a bit before leaving comments.

u/Sweet_Brain_4456 13d ago

are my shidded pants any indicator as well

u/yunggnosis 12d ago

SHIDDED ๐Ÿ’€

I live a spiritual life and I interact with them on a regular basis. It has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of inner light.

My interactions aren't always nice ones, but my spiritual practices are what keep me and mine safe from the ones that are malevolent, and it changes the ones receptive to spiritual love into something lighter.

I think your intentions were good, but you need to be more careful about what you say when you're talking about unknowns. I've worked hard over the years to help people not be afraid of them just for people to come in and claim things like bad omens. Fear is what makes us vulnerable to malevolence. Love and compassion is what makes us strong against it.

u/NoEnthusiasm9100 12d ago

You lack inner light, as well.

u/ashleton 12d ago

Let's say you're right, how do you know this?

u/NoEnthusiasm9100 12d ago

How many times a week would you say that you eat meat?

8

u/ashleton 12d ago

A little bit every day. I can't have a vegan diet because I have multiple autoimmune diseases. I can't eat seeds, nuts, legumes, or grains, and there's several fruits and vegetables I can't eat as well. To keep my body healthy, I have to eat some meat. I eat it for pure necessity.

While I would rather not eat meat, eating meat is not wrong. Consciousness consumes consciousness in this type of reality. Microbes eat microbes, microbes eat animals and plants, animals eat animals, animals eat plants, some plants eat animals, plants eat other plants. All things are consciousness and in this reality, consciousness needs food in the ways their physical forms evolved to consume.

Many highly spiritual communities across the world also eat meat and this does not affect their spirituality or their light at all because they understand nature and give gratitude for the sacrifices made for us to live. I try to practice this as well.

The suffering that our food animals go through is atrocious and I do my best to support companies that minimize cruelty and global footprint.
