maybe wallace being my fav was foreshadowing
this wasn't meant to align with the spooky season but hey! it does! also look, a desktop post!
so i'm in a pretty weird spot when it comes to the supernatural. i don't believe ghosts or the supernatural exists, but i've also had encounters that cannot really be explained by the current science. so i do believe there is some sort of explanation regarding the unconsciousness we don't know of yet... but i definitely don't believe in spirits and the afterlife (+atheist here)
as for encounters, i've had one i've always told people about. it's the clapping ghost when i was 14-15 years old in the our family home (where i live in now). the computer back then was by the hallway beside the stairs. it was around 3am and i was playing world of warcraft when i heard VERY snappy clap, clap, clap at the bottom of the stairs. our staircase compromises of two stairs with a mini-floor in the middle for the turn. it was pitch black in the first floor. after those clap, i heard creaking up the stairs as if someone was slowly walking up. at this point, even at this age, i didn't believe in ghosts although i was afraid of the dark. but at that moment, as the creaking arrive at the top of the stairs and land behind me, i shivered and started crying. i was talking to my guildmates about it and we were all filipinos there. ghosts and superstition is part of our culture so they were trying to talk me through and calm me down. it got REALLY cold. no climate change back then and i had no fan on but it was still way too cold. i was too frozen on spot and eventually, i felt the pressure disappear and the temperature go back to normal.
to this day i don't know if i just ended up uh. convincing myself. i know that can happen when you're utterly convinced of the fear. i've also read about an experiment of people being told something was haunted and then people reporting feeling stuff when the whole haunted place was just made up. so it could be a psychological thing. idk.
but i had a supernatural encounter crazier than that, but it's not scary. and it happens to me to this day.
i think i was in the 2nd year high school. we were in the gym for this raffle promo and when first place was being announced, i SUDDENLY knew it was me. like i was ACTIVELY aware. i wasn't surprised at all when i was called. i even stood up before my name was called, because i was ready. i just knew.
and i did have this dream when my rabbit passed away and i just woke up with a sense of fear gripping me. like i straight up stood and walked toward where i last left her. i heard my mom talking in an upset voice and i KNEW something happen to my rabbit.
and even online, it happens. i guess this could be explained with being sensitive to the behavior of others but twice in the last rp sites i've been, i was able to senes the EXACT day when the staff was about to PM me about a beef they had that would lead me to yeeting myself out of the site.
i don't trust my gut feeling and try to approach things rationally, but ngl, my gut feeling is so damn good sometimes. like i GET it can explained psychologically somehow. it's not supernatural but that raffle stuff was really so damn weird. and i'm not surprised other people have the exact anecdotes of just KNOWING.
anyway, share your thoughts or accounts of the supernatural and the unexplained! it doesn't have to be scary.
and i guess as a fun fact, here in the ph, it's pretty common for friends and families to tell they have the third eye and stuff. it's... i'm not a culture expert haha. but it's kind of a thing here. i don't think most people truly believe it but it's like... hmm. if there's something weird, you gotta just accept it kind of thing.
