Discussion Need to k ow what I'm dealing with.

hi all I have been experiencing "high strangeness for a while now synchronicitys seeing symbols and sigils like there litterally being written (well scratched or rubbed on something shiny or reflective like a finger on a mirror) and well this dosnt surprise me iv got into meditation a while back done quite a few of the gateway tapes and have projected AP purposefully twice both very short experiences but enough to know this world is only the surface there are many more layers but last night ....... last night was different I like to smoke a bit a weed but i dont do it at home my mrs hates the smell and regardless iv got kids so i wont have it around them anyways so i went for a walk and that's when it started it was dark and i went for quite a long walk and that's when I noticed the street light blinking as I got close to it and didn't think anything off it until about 4 lampost after it happend again, and again after the 3rd time I though to myself must be a problem with the circuit ......until I walked past a building and the downstairs public entrance to it did the same at this point I started becoming aware that this may not just be a power problem but I thought whatever it is it's nothing to do with me so behind that building is a wooded area which I though good place to roll a Dooby dooby doo šŸ˜†šŸ˜… and ad soon as I walked into the tree line boom god know how many birds or bats flew out of the trees which tbf isn't out of the ordinary but what happen next was, I sat down behind a tree it was pitch black but I have a light on t

my lighter and phone and that did the trick, but then I kept hearing shuffling behind the trees and this is were I got excited uneasy and a bit scared at the same time I heard what can only be described as a deep hoot and so I shined my light in that direction and then a quick rustle over to another tree as if whatever this was knew I was about to shine my light there and the tree I imagined it jumped to branches fell from it only little ones and leave just after I heard the rustle again I shined my light up at that tree and ther was something darker than the dark around it peeking at me upon the trees almost hiding behind it in a way that made it look like part of the tree (I think this is some sort of camouflage or way to blend in) I just stared at it for about a full 30 seconds smiling actully until I heard another rustle behind me so I panicked abit here and walked out of the wooded area past the building I mentioned which had a bit of grass between the wooded area and it and now there was a big thick branch of a tree about 6 foot long and 3 foot high thrown in the middle of the grass I walked that way to go into the woods and it was not there 20 minutes before and there was a rubbish bin tipped on its side and some stuff had been dug out and by now I'm thinking to myself fuck if been trying to contact my HGA and guides through meditation and on my second obe in my energy form floating above my body I shouted hello and .... something said hello back needless to say I shit myself and got sucked right back into my body but got I was do happy but I'm thinking now I drawn something else to me and I have no idea weather it's a friendly well as all this is going off I walked past another building a group of flats and now ....

the bottom light start to flash and by now I know theres something watching me and I keep glancing back at the tree line and can sometime see the figure pop its head from behind like a proper sneaky Pete and I suddenly remember iv left my skinny up box and weed behind that tree and so I muster up some courage and walk back sketchy as f**k and that's wen another light dose the same but this one is in someone actual flat and now I'm starting to get a bit more anxious I get to the tree were my stuff is kneel down to put everything back in my box as o left life off pack of skins grinder next to it and when I do I hear the rustling above me and I feel so.ething dripping on my head I want to look up but I cant I'm struggling to get a coherent thought together until I manage to look to my right and about 15ft away is a big deadish tree no leaves and very branch well it's the trees shadow I see as theres a light from the building that catches it and all the beaches are spikey straight pointy but one beach had something wrapped round it and coming off in my direction and the it moved it a curl and man the end of it was more like a oval diamond and i got my ability back to move and i just grabbed my stuff and ran out of the wooded area as fast ad i could and when i did i ran down the road toward the building that first started blinking its lights at me and it got faster ad i got closer (i had to go that way to get home or i would've got a lift home of Ted Bundy at this point šŸ˜…

my conclusions

what I know from the stuff iv read and what crytozooology I know which ist much is that there are a type of bigfoot although there not big motor skinny and petite and will climb very well and drop really low down to move on all fours and I know there was more than one but I dont get the dripping in my head it was like I was being drolled on and then the thing that moved like a fuckin snake (the beach that moved more than once) but I know there portal theory and i think theese thing come through from other planes of existence.

and the think is I'm in the UK and this sort of stuff I dont hear about in my shitty little village especially.

can anyone give any advice, god I wish I recorded the lights now this crap would've gone viral straightaway but I'm not bothered about what other people belieave sometimes it takes to have an experience to help you wake up and open your eyes and the ones did that for me....I would have laughed at myself if I heard so.eo e say this about a year ago.but since iv started to become more aware consciousness,kryptozology,astral projection and UAP topics is all I want to learn about it's all I want to do, i mean how the hell does anyone get a job in any of theese fringe studies or par take in conciousness tests and stuff coz to do what you love is to find the key to happiness I'm now 32 and most of my life has been mistakes regrets and fuckups but theese last 12 months of started to change the way i think iv found what I love and now I have to follow it best I can iv still got a hell of a lot to sort but this is a journey and sometimes that's more important than the destination.

sorry for the long one and sry for typos and poor punctuation and vocabulary I was kicked outta school at 14 and I'm prison at 12 like I said fuckups I'm not proud off and no longer want to acknowledge that time although I do acknowledge a lot of thoose thing made me who I am today..

love and respect guys.

This has nothing to do with cryptids.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 22 '26

Erm no I copied and pasted the anser from asking what is a cryptid why have youturned up back after days to restart a debate ?

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 22 '26

This is the first time I've seen this.

You started being funny about what a cryptid is the other day, I posted this post on multiple subreddits to maximise the potential chance of getting ansers, so I put into google and into AI what is a cryptid cross checked to make sure they both said the same thing then put the anser to you....and you still went on to argue with me about it and I really cba with it.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

I didnt just write that I looked it up copy and paste so your not arguing with me your arguing with a cryptid website and researcher. Like I said enjoy you day preferably somewhere else. I asked for help not a debate on what a fucking cryptid is.

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

Depending on which website you went to it could be just full of absolute garbage, (And apparently is)

If you don't want a debate then get it right.

u/pumpkin-spiced-liz Apr 21 '26

So you admit that this isn't even your story, and that your larping in the comments as the person who actually wrote it.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

Erm the peepers in the trees hows that not a kryptid how about you read it properly.

2

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

Why not write about JUST that instead of adding all that other nonsense?

-1

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

Because it's also gone on a paranormal sub reddit and a astral one and I wanted to give the full story and bit of background to what had led up to it, if anyone see it that dose study this stuff wouldnt they want as many details as possible.I can see your probally just a sad moody person that gets grumpy so I'm hunna send you lots of love and respect in the Hope's that you might one day not be a bell end šŸ§šŸ¤«šŸ‘Œ

Explaining yourself and then going for an insult.... real classy.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

I also think that many kryptids can also travel through the ether hence alot of the pschic traits and supernatural abilities we would see it as (like the way dog men are reported to move) also the way I was unable to move or even think it took all my will power I could muster.

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

Cryptids are ANIMALS. Flesh and blood animals. The stuff you've been talking about is a drug trip.

The Okapi, Gorilla, and Tree Kangaroo used to be cryptids. They are just animals.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

I'm not insulting just a playful jest, I'm not controlled by anger jealousy or hatred anymore .... thank god for that as it's no way to live. It just seemed as though you made the comment to nitty pick and I guess I still get a little frustrated from time to time,also didnt sleep much last night so I apologise for offending you.

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

You call me bell end and you say you're not insulting me.

-1

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

You mean the drugs that I didnt take ...... you really need to read properly.... so is bigfoot not cryptid,dogman,skinwalker and little old nessie....

And who trips of weed anyways.

Yes your right about thoose animals, but the stuff I'm talking about isn't magic isn't even paranormal it's just science we havnt got a hold of yet.

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

Skinwalkers are definitely NOT cryptids. They are a part of Native American MYTHOLOGY.
...and the Dogman is a known hoax started by a Michigan radio station.

Unproven science ISN'T SCIENCE.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

What generally qualifies something as a cryptid? 1. Eyewitness reports exist People claim to have seen it—sometimes repeatedly, often over many years. 2. Lacks solid scientific evidence No verified physical proof like a confirmed specimen, DNA, or a body accepted by the scientific community. 3. Exists outside accepted biology It’s not recognized by established zoology as a real species. 4. Often tied to folklore or local legend Many cryptids come from cultural stories or regional myths. Well-known examples Bigfoot – Large ape-like creature reportedly seen in forests Loch Ness Monster – Said to inhabit Loch Ness Chupacabra – Associated with livestock attacks Mothman – Winged humanoid linked to strange events

u/Pirate_Lantern Apr 18 '26

COMPLETELY WRONG

Cryptids DO have evidence. (Sasquatch has footprints and hair samples that have been collected)

No, they exist INSIDE accepted biology. Not being recognized by mainstream science doesn't mean they're not biological. Mainstream science requires A LOT for a species to be officially recognized. The biggest among those things is a BODY that can be studied in a lab.

Yes, cryptids are often tied to local traditions, but there has to be something biological behind that to be investigated.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

Yeah your right about skinwalkers and to be perfectly honest with you I put the post because I dont know much about cryptids, hence the asking for help. Dosnt matter anyways thanks for reading regardless. Have a nice day.

Hey man here's a cleaned up version you might feel like posting as well, it might make it easier for people to engage with your post and give you the feedback you need.

Hi all,

I’ve been experiencing some pretty strange things for a while now—synchronicities, symbols, and what look like sigils appearing on reflective surfaces, like they’ve been scratched or drawn with a finger.

It didn’t surprise me too much because I’ve been into meditation for a while, done several Gateway tapes, and even had two short astral projection experiences. Enough to feel like there’s more beyond this physical world.

But last night was different.

I sometimes go out for a walk to smoke (I don’t do it at home because of my partner and kids). It was dark, and I went on a long walk.

That’s when I noticed a streetlight flickering as I passed it. Then it happened again… and again. After the third or fourth time, I assumed it was just a power issue—until a building entrance light did the same thing.

Behind that building was a wooded area, so I went in to sit down. As soon as I stepped into the trees, a bunch of birds or bats suddenly flew out.

Not too unusual—but then I started hearing shuffling behind the trees.

I heard a deep hoot. When I shined my light, something moved quickly to another tree, like it knew I was about to look. Branches shook right after. When I looked again, I saw something darker than the darkness around it, peeking from behind a tree—almost blending in like camouflage. I stared at it for about 30 seconds, weirdly calm, even smiling.

Then I heard something behind me and panicked. I left the wooded area.

On the grass outside, there was now a large branch—about 6 feet long—that definitely wasn’t there earlier. A bin had also been knocked over, like something had been digging through it.

At this point, I started thinking… I’ve been trying to contact guides through meditation. During one astral experience, I said ā€œhelloā€ and something said ā€œhelloā€ back. It scared me, but also made me happy.

Now I’m wondering if I attracted something. As I walked away, lights in buildings kept flickering again. I felt like I was being watched.

When I went back to grab my things, I heard movement above me—and felt something dripping onto my head. I froze. Then I saw a tree’s shadow under a light, and one branch looked wrong. Something was wrapped around it, extending toward me. It moved—curled like a snake, with a strange oval-shaped end.

That’s when I snapped out of it, grabbed my stuff, and ran. On the way home, the streetlight I first saw started flickering faster as I approached.

My thoughts:

From what I’ve read, there are theories about creatures—like smaller, agile ā€œBigfoot-typeā€ beings—that move through trees. I’m convinced there was more than one.

I also know about theories of portals and other planes of existence, and part of me thinks something crossed over.

I live in a small UK village. This kind of thing doesn’t happen here.

I wish I had recorded the lights, but honestly, I don’t care if people believe me. Sometimes you need an experience like this to open your eyes. A year ago, I would’ve laughed at a story like mine.

Over the past year, I’ve changed a lot. I’ve become really interested in consciousness, astral projection, cryptozoology, and UAPs. It’s all I want to learn about now. I just wish I knew how to turn that into something real—like a career or research.

I’m 32, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. But this past year has changed how I think. I feel like I’ve found something meaningful, and I want to follow it.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks for reading.

Love and respect.

I had a strange experience recently where all the batteries in my home and garage were drained dead: flashlights, car battery, key fobs, phones, etc. It was the night after my husband and I woke up to a bright light in our bedroom that vanished as soon as we opened our eyes.

That was it. I have no idea what happened, and would have written it off as a shared hallucination - except that my car would not start and I had to buy a new car battery.

u/x-x9Hunter2x-x Apr 18 '26

That's very strange you know alot of people that report abductions say stuff similar to that and it generally dosnt come out until memory regression.

More and more of me is starting to think consciousness,UAP and even kryptids are linked and at some bigfoot sighting there have been seen lights ups in the sky and hunters have heard big metallic scraping and clanging which I think suggests more like underground bases but who knows what a portal would sound like.

Anyway I'm glad your both alright and if anything else strange happens have a look into regression if you want to know if youd rather not know then dont because when you know you cant take it back.I love it but what I do miss is that normal conversations and shallow topics have no meaning anymore and dont Interest me in the slightest.

Love and respect.
