    When I was little, little, like 3-4 years old, I had a dream where a man I didn’t know was in my room. He told me not to be scared, and I told him I wasn’t. He had a weird, gravelly voice, but I could understand him fine.

    He just wanted to know how the family was doing, did so and so get married, that kind of thing. Family gossip.

    When I woke up I told my grandmother who turned white and got out a photo album.

    I pointed to one of the pictures and went that’s him! Who is he?

    My great grandfather Claude, who had had throat cancer and a tracheotomy. He died 2 years before I was born.

      Years ago, our eldest when 2ish got up in his crib from a nap, stood there facing a blank wall and just started…“talking” (Real words/babble mixture) to someone. And it wasn’t the “talking to myself” type baby talk either, it was the “I’m talking to someone” type of baby talk. Sent shivers down me and my SOs spines.

      Don’t let her find this post (I never told her I went digging or what I found lol) but there was a suicide in that house in its past soooo…

      Unfortunately/fortunately we moved out of that house not to long afterwards

      But I’m ready in case one day he decides to drop some bombshell like yours lol

    I was driving home from LA with a friend. While on the freeway, in the middle of nowhere, and no cars near us, we hear a noise like a hand knocking on the driver side backseat window. There was only the two of us sitting in the front, and there was nothing in the back seats. We confirmed with each other that we both heard the noise, and that it was strange. I was very curious, and it was daytime, so I pulled over to the side to check things out. Nothing. Even a highway patrol officer stop by to check up on us. (Don’t worry, we didn’t get shot, even though we were non-white, it was a less divided time back then).

    To this day, I cannot even imagine what could have made that knocking sound on the window. 😬

    Once, but I don’t think it was aliens or supernatural or anything. I was walking home down embassy row in Washington, DC and we crossed 16th St near the White House, and we saw something that looked like a ball of lightening but that way too low to the ground. I asked, “Did y’all see that too?” and complete strangers agreed they did. There was no sound.

    Obviously, in that neighborhood, you don’t assume “aliens!” or anything. It was weird to us civilians and I’m quite sure there’s a scientific or classified explanation. But it was definitely a “What the fuck was that?” moment for a half dozen strangers just walking down a busy street.

    It didn’t move around or look like images of ball lightening, though it looked like lightening in a sphere in many ways. If it was some electrical explosion, we’d have presumably heard it. So, who knows? Governments and atmospheric conditions do weird shit sometimes.

    Definitely explainable by mere coincidence, and only really a little strange but in the interest of contributing more content to Lemmy:

    In 2015 I had a dream that I met with Markiplier in person. I don’t remember the details of anything, but I remember him extremely distraught, crying, like someone had died and me trying my hardest to console him. The very next day he posted the video talking about his friend Daniel Kyre’s passing. Im certain there was no post or anything that I saw regarding this before seeing that video.

    I had very frequent nightmares and also watched a lot of Markiplier at the time, so it’s really just a timing coincidence.

    From your description ‘too low to the ground’ sounds like it was probably ball lightning … which can do all kinds of goofy shit depending on the weather or how it was created. I’ve never seen any good videos of BL on Youtube, but there might be newer ones.

    Don’t know D.C. at all but if you were anywhere near a marsh, maybe ‘swamp gas’?
