Anyone seen a strange creature?

[bloodcreature]

I have always held an interest in unknown creatures and wondered if anyone has seen any?

I personally haven't seen any unknown creatures.

[Haunted]

Move to any small town off the beaten path in the USA and you will find strange creatures among the human race. I shit you negative.

A friend of mine is from Jersey Devil Country in New Jersey.

Not really a creature, but there is a history of the "paranormal" if you want to call it that in my family.

My mother comes from a small village in Cape Breton, the highlands of Nova Scotia, the northern island-end of the province. Almost the entire population of Cape Breton is Scottish in decent (like the rest of the province) and still very, very close to the scottish culture, and traditions. For example, my grandmother still speaks fluent Gaelic, she only spoke Gaelic in her house growing up, and learned english in school. Her mother (my g-great grandmother) didn't speak a word of english, strictly Gaelic, and so did everyone before her. My mother can understand some of it, and I know scattered words and phrases I can pick out of sentences. Along with the the traditions comes the superstitions, and a while ago, when I noted to my mother that I would often sense things before they happened, she noted that it wasn't uncommon in our family.

I wouldn't so much call it precognition, I would just often get a feeling about something, often something very specific, and then it would happen. Like one weekend when I was younger my scout troop was going camping in a remote part of the province, I had been prepping for this for weeks, the night I was leaving, literally 5 minutes before I got this gut wrenching cramping in my adomen, almost like I was sick, but it carried with it emotion, like a bad feeling. I told my mother, and she said to stay home, my father protested saying I'd be fine, but my mother, knowing the history of this sort of thing in the family, said I would stay. That monday I found out that every single person that went to the camp, 15-20 odd kids were violently ill on the saturday night, a number of them had to get drives back to town to go to the hospital.

We also have a history of forerunners in the family, a superstition most people who grew up in Cape Breton, especially my parent's generation or older, believe whole heartedly in. Many people in the family have had them, and sure enough, what's supposed to happen after a forerunner, has happened.

Many in the family often tell stories of ghosts, and strange lights they've seen, and the town is full of folklore and tales. One of them that my cousins once told me was the belief in faeries, and creatures in the woods. Out by one farmer's field, off of a dirt road there is this large dirt mound, likely standing at 12-15 feet high, almost conical, completely unnatural, and inexplicable. It is covered in grass, so it looks like a really unnatural hill. As my cousins described it the locals believe, and tell their children that there are faeries which live in the mounds, and when you venture out at night, as a child, they will take you into the mound. There you will dance, and play for 80 years, and when they release you, you will have not aged a day, but everyone close, and dear to you will be dead. Had I asked anyone in the town what it was they would have told me the same thing. The name of the creatures escapes me now, the original name begins with an S, and I believe is evident in Scottish, Irish, and perhaps even Welsh culture.

Overall, it's a neat place to go, and read about, I am not saying either way on the paranormal-ness(?) of the family itself, it could just be coincidental.

I got chased by a bush in Golden Gate park one time.

It turned out to be a nutty homeless guy in a bush suit.

True story.

wow, that's really interesting! please feel free to share any other stories you have! especially if they're spooooooooky! :)

[knife_fight]

I've never seen any strange creatures, but my great-granddad useta tell us all a story of how one time he was driving his carriage (he wasn't Amish or anything. this was before cars) home from church one night and a strange creature vaguely similar to a horse came out of the woods and walked beside the carriage for a few miles, then it disappeared back into the woods. he said it was about the size of a yearling and had red eyes.

another animal seen around here (the Deep South) is something referred to as "the Ol White Thing". I've also heard of it being referred to as "the Wookalar" (not sure of the spelling on that one). it's supposedly similar to Bigfoot, only white and endowed with supernatural powers.

if it was possible to make a living as a cryptozoologist (aside from appearances on lame Travel Channel or Animal Planet shows), I would love to try it.

I should edit your reply, but there's too much good stuff in it. Being an Irish Celtic Witch myself, I know a lot of folklore in that department. (I want to learn Irish so that I can write mantras [Sanskrit term] to The Morrighan).

Would love to share some lore and secrets of the old worlds with you, if you should ever get the time.

@ ye who mentioned the horse creature...sounds like a kelpie to me, although you find them more around water. Some of these creatures are benign and some are not, i.e., the kelpie, which is certainly not something I would want to run into by the water's edge.

it was a very swampy area where they lived, although not far from the coast either.

also, I am in the process of learning Irish Gaelic (not Scottish Gaelic). I'd say I'm nearly 50% fluent. I would recommend a book titled, appropriately, "Learning Irish" by Michael O'Siadhail. the book also has a companion cassette that helps out a lot.

[filmmaker2]

...yeah.....I seen this little guy outside the house....yesterday and the day before that.....he looks up and sees me, and says "u got any carrot sticks" but i don't give him nothin'.

[Amalthea]

I think I saw something white flying over the garden where I lived before, as I looked through the window a dark evening, and I lived near a graveyard.
I lived with other people in a house with two floors, and one told me that he could feel something invisible breath. :eek:

[bloodcreature]

Aliens, squirrels arg! I didn't think it would get this bad. The avatars are more scary than anything I have ever seen... Except, this one time, at band camp, I woke up in the morning, beside this girl, and.....

lol

Anyway, I heard something peculiar outside my window in 1992. My brother and his friend heard it and they where leaving to hang out. I could hear my brother and our friend Gary yelling and cussing at something.

So I grab a ball bat and ran outside, don't know why I didn't grab a gun. Anyhow, by the time I got around the other side of the house it was gone. My brother said something large was standing in front of the tree line and it was stepping and smashing the plastic roof panels that where stacked on the ground.

It was dark and they did turn on their headlights of the car. We looked for footprints and didn't find any.

Oh, well, so is my little mystery.

I don't. However, I know a few mantras to Kali Ma, a few to Lord Shiva. If you have a grasp of some Sanskrit, you can sort of form your own mantras. They're the one-liner sort that you repeat with the mala beads, though. My friend Wes did in his song Jaya Kali:

Om jaya jaya Kali
Jaya Kali
Om jaya jaya jaya Kali
Jaya Kali
Maha mata Kali
Sri sri Maha Devi

The best mantra to Her is: Om krim Kali kagei namaha.
Krim (kreem) is Her sound/syllable.

Lord Shiva's main one that I know is: Om nemah Shivaihah.

Okay, I used to know a few more. My buddy Wes is Hindu and can sing major mantras all over the place. He can sing the long ones, not just the single line prayers for mala beads.

So, my thoughts are to write prayers and mantras to The Morrighan in Irish so that I can incorporate them into my spiritual practices as well as into Witchcraft. (Spiritual practices being fundamentally more important).

That one for Ma Kali is actually a song. A mantra goes somewhat differently. I ll send you a PM regarding Ma Kali's mantras.

"Krim" & "Klim" both are actually monosyllabic incantations usually to invoke the goddess. The mantras for the Mother Goddess (the Supreme Power) are unusually long and involve complicated pronounciations.

The Gayatri Mantra (regarded by the Hindus as the most powerful mantra) is usually recited or repeated in the mind and NOT loudly. Please remember it as you read the following :- (read in mind, not aloud)

"Om bhur bhuwaswaha, tratsavitur vareniyam,
Bhargo devasya dhi mahi, dhiyo yonah prachodayat."

I have spaced it out, so that you ll find it easier to pronounce. However, once you get the hang of it, you have to recite the entire mantra in a single breath, without break. Thats the best way of effective mantras.

The Gayatri mantra is supposed to be recited 108 times, usually in the morning just after taking a bath, facing the morning sun, empty stomach. It brings peace and tranquility in life, and also wards away any evils throughout the day. Indian sages have regarded it very highly, and its the pioneer of all mantras in the Rig Veda.

[Miss Olivia]

That's pretty interesting stuff. I practiced buddhism for a while, and chanting was really great for stress relief and breath control...Plus everyone at the temple was just so NICE....I don't think I ever met an angry buddhist and I wouldn't want to:)

The song... That's what I meant. Shit, I wished you lived close by so we could get some coffee. Don't worry about me and pronunciation. People would be surprised to find out how phonetic Sanskrit is. However, there's that difference between "ba" and "bha," you know. It's all in the breath.;)

You might find this interesting V, in my Sanskrit class, we were translating the head Swami for the Hare Krisna's (can't spell his name) version of the Bhaghavad Gita. You'd be surprised at some of his mistakes according to our work along with our professor's research.

However, my main system of expertise is Taoism. How well versed are you?

[filmmaker2]

Yep...here's another example. I snapped this photo of these guys in my kitchen this morning. They had dragged one of my towels out of the bathroom and they were doing something, obviously, but when they saw me they pretended like they weren't doing anything. I went and took a shower and when I came back, they were gone and half the cupboards were empty. They used the towel to move my canned foods and stuff!

yes, actually the pronounciation is what makes the mantras effective. One wrong syllabic chant will render it totally ineffective.

I ve been following the teachings of Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Vivekananda. That got me interested in the spiritual nature of ancient Hinduism, back when it all originated from the Aryans (the original human dwellers).

I got books and inbetween my studies, devoted a lot of time to learning these stuff. Philosophies of the Gita, Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana etc.

I was so intrigued by all of it that I tracked down plenty of works on ancient Hinduism and studied it all, right down to the Bhakti movement contributions from Chaitanya, Tulsidas, Surdas, etc. Thats how I gained some knowledge bout it all.:)

just saw a black bear - which wasn't especially strange but scared the shit out of us. we had hiked into a camp site 5 miles up into the mountains arriving at around 9pm (just getting dark). as we unpacked a big black bear came up - bluffed us away from our lean-to and proceeded to eat much of our food.

i got a picture (well, i think it took but i haven't developed the film from this week yet) - which, note to all, you should NOT use the flash if taking a picture of a wild bear - they DO NOT like it (he charged me about 10 steps (and only my hiking buddy stopped me from running, which you should not do with black bear - and reminded me to stand my ground and make more noise)

it was an odd experience and seemed surreal - only frightening when i saw him charge and it sunk in that we were in the middle of the wilderness with an 800 pound carnivore staring at us.

needless to say, and much to our exhaution, we hiked our big packs back out (in the pitch dark - thank god for headlamps) and got back out around midnight. . . pretty scary shit.

Yes there are creatures that are not human. They can take on human form though.

Some are evil. I think I saw some of them on America's Most Wanted. They slashed this girl's throat.

I guess you can imagine how much confusion these creatures can cause when someone is not aware that they are not human.

I guess on other planets they appear like the people who live on those other planets.

There are also angels and gods that appear in human form sometimes. I have picked up Satan hitchhiking several times. We went to Burger King.

Led Zeppelin put Satan on the cover of their album. He's "The Man With The Sticks". Satan is carrying on his back the branches that have been permanently broken off from the main vine. That's why they wrote that song 'Four Sticks'.

I heard Jimmy Page is a satanist and he actually lived in Aleister Crowley's house for awhile.

Sometimes when I'm in the chat rooms on AOL non human creatures come in and talk to everyone. The witch Medussa has come into the chat rooms several times as has the god Horus (Appollo) I think.

The following documentary shows one of the creatures that was recovered from the crash of a 'flying saucer' at Roswell, NM:

Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction? (1995)

These creatures are evil which is why they crash their so called space ships.

The alien abduction phenomenon is real. Those parasitical creatures are involved with creating hybrid life forms.

Supposedly there's an entire federation of advanced races monitoring our planet but they normally don't interfere with the evolution of our human race.

Whatever you're on, take it down a notch.

[Roderick Usher]

Once while visiting my in-laws in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico I heard something, but didn't see it.

I was walking down by Lake Chapala after a night of heavy eating and quite a bit of tequila when my wife and I swore we heard a woman crying. My wife turned pale and insisted we get the hell out of there. I wanted to know where the sound was coming from.

That's when the wife told me the story of La Llorona. It's a ghost story I've since become rather obsessed with. In a nutshell...

A young mother is wronged by the father of her baby. In a fit of sorrowful rage, she drowns the baby and herself in the local lake/pond/river. Her ghost then roams the waters, crying (La Llorona means The Weeping Woman) for her lost child. She is said to take inquisitive children down into the deep with her.

It's a cautionary tale told all over Mexico to keep children from wandering around at night. Funny thing is, everyone I talked to in Ajijic absolutely believed La Llorona was real (although I heard a dozen different stories about her origin.) I got spooked and I can't wait to visit again and search the lake at night.
