Supernatural Experiences: A Personal List
Contents
Intro
My own experiences are listed here. Other ISGP articles deal with the experiences of other people, such as a ghost article.
^^Personal experiences1987-1989: Dancing UFO lights
My first experience I can't be 100% certain actually occurred. It would be one of the first experiences I can remember:
I still have this memory of maybe being 5 to 7 years old and being on a camping trip with other kids. My family was there as well. It's night time. I'm lying on my back, looking at the stars. I'm pretty sure I was looking for something "out there". I see two of the "stars" moving. They are swirling and dancing around each other, moving in front of the "other" stars.
I'm mesmerized by it and think of pointing it out to others. But already at this age, somehow, I'm worried that I sound crazy and don't mention it to anyone.
1992-1993: Seeing-the-future experiences
The following episode might be interesting to mention, because it happened in the same period that I had my mid 1990s UFO sighting in France. There might be a connection.
Maybe I should mention something that also is 100 percent, or "essentially" 100 percent, fact to me. At the age of 13 in particular, so around the time I had my main UFO experiences, I also had... dreams of the future. In fact, I had so many dreams of the future it started to scare me.
This happened to me in the first grade of high school. Two episodes I remember vividly. In one I was walking on the main road towards school only to go "*Flash!* Holy shit! I dreamed about this." And I did, as always about two weeks earlier. It's like deja vu. Everything is there exactly as you remember from your dream: the street and the people in it in this case. This was one of the last - possibly the last - of these "future flashes", which was both a pity and a relief because they started to unnerve me.
The better example was me running after someone through class. I don't remember the name of the class, but it was some type of tradecraft thing by a teacher called Mr. Drost. As I am turning into the middle lane, I go, 'Wait, I dreamed this... I'm going to fall and...' right at that moment my crazy red-headed friend Arjan sticks out his leg. I trip over it and almost see myself fly in slow-motion towards a vice. As I'm flying through the air I go, 'Yep, I dreamed this.' *Bang!* My head collides with a steel vice.
Everyone is concerned and comes to see if I'm okay. I'm laughing and say:
"I dreamed this. Two weeks ago. I came through the middle lane and someone sticks out his leg. Normally I'd kill you, but I'll let this one fly."
It wasn't a big deal. In the same class, in the same period, a girl used a pendel on me, in one case in particular very accurately predicting the future. I don't know if I believe in that, but as I said, mentioning this stuff wasn't a big deal.
I last brought this up at my first full-time job, thinking someone described something similar. It wasn't the case though. My experiences were not like, "Oh, it's the same location I dreamed about." No, every detail is the same. It's like stepping into a scene you've been before.
They've never happened again since.
1993: Ouija board scare
When I was 13, right before I had to visit an aunt and uncle with my parents, I quickly tried a self-made Ouija board experiment in my room. After a brief while, it seemed that something really was quite strongly pulling on whatever contraction I had made that was pointing to various handwritten letters on a piece of A4 paper. I freaked out, broke and teared everything into pieces, tossed it away, went to visit my aunt and uncle with my parents, and completely forgot about. After we came home late in the evening, I went straight to sleep, still having completely forgotten about the Ouija experience.
Then, in the middle of the night, I wake up to the strong impression that there are three human-like beings in my room, staring at me. I got so scared that I went out and asked to sleep with my parents, which I had never before done. Not wanting to talk about spirits, I got sent back. Eventually I fell asleep, but it was a terrifying experience. It never happened again either.
Looking at the Ouija stories gathered by this author for the 2025 ghost article, these experiences appear to be more common than not - to the point I can't get myself excited to give Ouija another go. I'm a little worried for my life and soul.
1994-2001: Haunted amp that loves Iron Maiden's 'Moonchild'
Since the Ouija board experience though, there was some occasional strangeness - and this in a newly-built house from 1991. First, sometimes I had a sense of the house being haunted, certainly at the attic. This lasted for years, and I only occasionally got that sense. There was no coldness or anything, and my parents never noticed anything (and wouldn't have admitted to anything either), so who knows, maybe it was just my imagination.
Considerably more tangible is that my beloved Marantz amplifier, which I got a little while later, would regularly turn up its volume all by itself. Sometimes the volume would be turned down, but this was relatively rare. In the manner it happened my main guess always was ghosts over electronic glitches, which on top of that none of my family members or classmates ever had - and I eventually couldn't find anything about online. It also was an issue that fully disappeared after I left my parents' house and took the amplifier with me. I kept the amplifier and speaker combination with which the mystery happened for decades, until 2020, in its final year running pink noise for 8 to 24 hours a day. Never the slightest spontaneous volume change. The amplifier only was replaced after noticing it used 37W idle, versus a new, small, dirt cheap amplifier with similar sound quality only drawing 4.5W idle.
So, here's what happened in the 1990s and early 2000s in my bedroom: I'd turn on some music, turn around to focus on something else and a few minutes or hours later, *brrrrt!*, the music would be turned up by 10 or 20% or so. Generally I ignored it to see what would happen next, eventually sometimes literally going, "I'm not going to give attention to this childish behavior!" But once the volume started going up, generally additional "turns" would follow in seconds or minutes, sometimes boosting the volume all the way to the max if nothing was done about it. I could dial the volume down myself: no use, seconds or minutes later the volume would be dialed up again electronically. Sometimes I even was able to catch it and, to my ashonishment, watched the volume level increase on the amplifier.
I have a sense it eventually got less, but this clearly lasted for years, as the clearest memory by far of this phenomenon dates to no earlier than the summer of 2000. I had just bought almost all of Iron Maiden's albums, including the then-new 'Brave New World' album. One morning I'm stepping into the shower, as 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son''s first song comes up: 'Moonchild':
"Seven deadly sins.
Seven ways to win.
Seven holy paths to hell.
And your trip begins..."
Right as the song goes into the heavy section that goes:
"The fallen angel watching you.
Babylon, the scarlet whore. ...
Be the devil's own! Lucifer's my name!
Moonchild! Hear the mandrake scream!
Moonchild! Open the seventh seal!"
... the volume on my amplifier starts turning up almost all the way to the max. I jump out of the shower and run into my room to shut it down. If I wasn't already paranoid to leave my music on when leaving the room, I certainly was now.
The thing, of course, is, why this song? It's just about the most supernatural song and album in my collection to this day. 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' (1988) is based on an old Biblical myth that the 7th son of a 7th son (without any females in between) will be born with supernatural powers. 'Moonchild' is a song about the 1917 'Moonchild' roman of Aleister Crowley, involving a battle between good and evil magicians about a child infused with the soul of a supernatural being. Much of the album deals with subjects as dreams, reincarnation, good and evil, and clairvoyance.
With that, you'd think something or someone went, "Pay attention to this!" As it turns out, this hint-giving also is the absolute gold-standard among 1,500 ghost stories gathered by this author for its ghost article of 2025.
I can't remember how often I had the amplifier on after discovering 'Counter-Strike' in 1999, and mainly sitting behind the computer with a headphone, quite possibly on purpose due to not trusting the amplifier. As said though, the problem with this amplifier certainly disappeared the second it left my parents' house. Never a hiccup anymore.
Is the haunted amplifier tied to the Ouija board experience? I have no idea, but it has always been a suspicion. I never had any issue though with any other electrical appliances.
1995-1996: A strange "comet" - on request
The following experience I'm 100% certain of:
Back when I was a a 13 or 14-year-old kid, camping with my parents in the south of France, I sat down on a chair in the middle of the night, in front of my tent. Having seen plenty of falling stars in my life, I was looking to see something way more interesting: a UFO!
It was just past midnight. The whole camping, situated on a mountain, had gone to sleep. Everything was dead silent. No falling stars could be seen, no planes, barely any clouds, nothing - for about 10 minutes. Then, whoosh! The light you see above appears at the *exact* center of my vision for just a second. It's 50 times larger than any asteroid streak I've seen and it's fully horizontal. It has nothing in common with an asteroid sighting. Or a plane or helicopter sighting for that matter.
Hyper-excited, I run to the caravan (trailer if you will) of my parents, but decide I want to see it again--just to be sure--before waking them up and dragging them outside. So I sit down again. Instantly again: Whoosh! The exact same thing for just a second, and again in the exact center of my vision.
I run back to the caravan again. Again I stop and mentally go: I need to see this again before waking them up. I sit there for another 10 minutes: nothing anymore.
I've sometimes tried to see something at night on other occasions, by making a mental connection of sorts and waiting for a few minutes. I've never seen anything anymore though. Maybe some day I'll try again, more seriously - if I ever get a little bit of a remote location again.
1997: Almost out-of-body experience?
When I was 15 I tried to do my first out-of-body experience, based on material that I had found on the internet. I would just lay quiet, get my body to sleep, while keeping my mind awake, mentally projecting it out of the body. Really within 20 to 30 minutes I would find myself in some kind of unbelievably energetic, vibrating rollercoaster, with the "sound of silence" being absolutely deafening.
This is exactly how the stage before separation has been described by various authors on the subject. Unfortunately, I never actually separated and had that out-of-body experience. Hence, I cannot vouch for the legitimacy of this phenomenon.
What I can say is that as I got older, these experiments got harder. Already around the age of 20, it would take 45 minutes to 2 hours to get anywhere close to the same "roaring, vibrating" space. At that point I would also get a dull pain in my heart and an overwhelming urge to shake my torso, which was inimical to the whole out-of-body experience. I tried it a few times more, but the heart issue sooner or later always sabotaged each session.
Only years later did it become perfectly obvious that the dull heart pain represented a blockage in the meridian system. This is the energetic system used, for example, in acupuncture, but also can be worked with by anyone by themselves at home in a variety of ways. It is a very, very factual energy system. I've personally cured enough chronic diseases with it of which doctors and surgeons told me they "can't be fixed, only medicated", to have any debate about whether or not this energy system exists. It does. End of discussion. But... it's also exactly the kind of stuff that we will not be getting into here.
The point of tossing this in here is the personal suspicion that any kind of psychic or related supernatural abilities either remain dormant or quickly are diminished by blockages that invariably develop in the meridian system as a child grows up. Once you've established that the meridian system is real, it becomes quite a small step to be open to the idea that psychic abilities - despite all the scam artists - *can* be real. They are just mostly dormant with humans. But they may not be so dormant with whatever is flying up there in our skies. At least, my mid 1990s experience strongly points to that.
1990s-2000s: My psychic cockatiel
This section I copied from the mini-biography on Rupert Sheldrake, one of countless questionable Coast to Coast AM guests, in his case focused on such things as psychic dogs. I have a few experiences of my own to share regarding this phenomenon.
For starters, the dog of my parents, a German Shepherd, doesn't seem to be the slightest bit psychic - and I've been looking for it and observing her. When I occasionally watch the dog when my parents are gone for a day or so, she doesn't respond in any way until she hears the front door open. I can also sneak up on her in every possible way. While there may be differences between breeds and even dogs of the same breed, this one most definitely flunked every test I ever put her through.
Now, on the other hand, when I lived at home we had a cockatiel that lived to the age of 28 or so. I always took it for granted, but looking back, the bird appeared to be completely, 100% reliably psychic. At home I could do whatever the heck I wanted in full view of the main window, because the cockatiel would always let out one particular screech when my mother was about 50 meters / 55 yards away from the front door. He would actually stay all puffed up and sleepy until she actually walked in to the living room, but there always would be this one, unusual screech 30 seconds before the key would enter the front door lock.
It really was so reliable that when friends asked, ''Won't your mother be mad when she walks in right now?'' I'd always say the same thing: ''Don't worry, the bird will warn us. When he makes the single *pèèèèp* sound, we have about 30 seconds before she walks in.'' If I walked upstairs while stuff would be on the living room table I didn't want my mother to see, I wouldn't bother removing it, but left the living room door open, so I'd hear the bird's screech. The bird's "warning beacon" was 100% reliable, no matter what the season, the weather, the type of shoes (noise), or the wind direction (smell).
The bird couldn't see my mother until she stepped into the living room, at which point he would finally unpuff and ask for attention. Apart from that it's not even remotely credible to suggest he could hear her walking outside through very thick reinforced concrete walls and double pane windows that isolated sound - from a relatively busy two lane road with a tram in the middle - extremely well. Cars, cyclists, trams and other pedestrians would come by continually. Ironically, the bird never-ever responded when my mother sat in the tram that rushed by the window before she got out and walked back to the house. He only did it consistently when she was about 50 meters / 55 yards out, walking to the front door.
In similar fashion, my grandmother always remarked how the bird would know if I was about to arrive (after being gone on vacation for 3 weeks) when I was about 50 meters away, whether I'd be walking, on a bicycle, or in my car. The bird would always get hyper-excited at this point. Maybe it's sound (though I never noticed the bird having super-hearing on other occasions), maybe it's electromagnetics, but it might just as well be chi and/or some kind of energy field that the bird was tapping into. The idea that it can smell you seems silly. It's too consistent for that, with too much concrete, glass and doors in the way.
The real problem seems to be that simply no proper research has been done on this subject, while it appears to be such an unbelievably easy phenomenon to demonstrate. Then again, I looked all over the internet for information on psychic cockatiels. Couldn't find anything. That's about as weird as the phenomenon I observed myself.
2008: The 1 in 100,000 experiment
This mystery can be read at CultofCupid.com. The mystery goes deeper than even described there, but if the full story will ever be told, I do not know.
2010-: Meridian system
This one is quite straightforward. The meridian system is the energy system as first described thousands of years ago in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupressure, acupuncture and many forms of qigong. In 2010 I started to create my own system with this, which lead me to cure a number of chronic diseases that doctors said could not be cured. In the process I have had many "energetic experieces" that I still need to write an article about.
2010: Qigong master distance healing
In 2010 I had a scheduled long-distance telephone-"healing" with Spring Forest Qigong founder and qigong master Chunyi Lin, located in the United States, about 7,000 kilometers away. I never had any hope of healing anything with just one session, but I wanted to see if I would actually feel *something* - as proof that something "psychic" or "psychokinetic" like this is possible. Over the phone, Lin said he noticed various blockages, but more interestingly, I quickly started feeling a little nauseaus and then started repeatedly burping as some kind of energy was being released. This experience was just before I started keeping a log, but a later entry for August 13, 2010 reads:
"[Doing Zhan Zhuang] in front of stomach for almost two hours. ... Felt considerable nausea in lower and middle stomach the last 40 minutes. Reminds me of healing sessions with Chunyi Lin."
The phone session definitely did "something", and seemingly more potent than the manner in which I was doing it locally, but I did not have any more money to schedule additional sessions.
2010-: Thousands of "godlike" and spirit-type dreams
These dreams have their own articles now: 'Godlike Dreams' and 'Godlike Dreams: Globalist Politics'.
2012: Grandmother death
After my first grandmother died, I walked into her house to collect some things. As I was opening the front door I had this very strong telepathic message that seemed to say, "It's not about [I forgot]. It's about [I forgot]." It made me teary-eyed for the first time.
2013-: B.C. possession
That's what it always felt like: as being possessed by a supernatural being with incredible power.
I won't provide details for the moment.
June 2014: Initial Enochian / Eno possession
After studying traditional magical systems a bit as to what actually works, on a small forum I noticed a lot people saying that Eno is very powerful, with potential effects from just saying the words. Considering there were so many people agreeing with each other, I decided o write down a few words, lie down, and chant it hard and with a lot of conviction. The effect was that I started feeling possessed, not as powerful as with B.C., but certainly some type of energy seemed to be building up around me. I still have the comments from my log:
"Enochian tryout. When I chant hard, the effect all of a sudden comes up. Feel something moving up my leg, inside upper leg, Hui Yin and penis. I stop, as I’m getting too worried by the sudden intensity of the experience."
This got quite a tale in later years, and I very much recommend to stay away from Eno. The intensitiy of the "power building" only was in this first session. A second session already gave much less (visible) effect.
2018: The electric snake
The following is a log of mine from an event that happened on June 25, 2018, at 1 a.m., in my parents' house:
"Mother apps from the United States: I need to go water the plants. Told her to get an automatic watering set, but whatever, it's a luxury home. I finish up setting up my Cambo shroom set and I go over. Arrive at midnight. Give some water. Sit down at the kitchen bar. Only a small light where I'm working a little on laptop. Having done so much construction lately, I start to wonder how my father constructed the row of lights in the ceiling at the sliding door to the patio. I notice he drew a long wire along the ceiling from the garage through a casing and that the lights are in a plastic casing screwed onto the ceiling. Content, I go back to work. It's about 1 AM, deafening quiet and almost totally dark.
No more than a few minutes later, electric ticks emerge from the wire casing I was looking at (never touched it). They are synchronized: every half second the tick moves on a meter or so. The ticks move along the wire (where nothing is attached) and then through the light row - like an electric snake. It's eerie and weird. I've never heard that and I've been working here quite a few times alone at night under (almost) similar light conditions.
After about 20 minutes of silence the "electric snake" is back: exact same movement of the ticks. I'm a little unnerved, but I ignore it and continue to work on my laptop. Seconds later a similar ticking patterns emerges 2 meters in front of me from all the electrical appliances in the kitchen: nespresso machine, kitchen light (the only one that is on... but it doesn't flicker), blender, microwave, oven: they all tick once, from the left to the right in a synchronized manner.
While I'm looking wide-eyed into the kitchen, a similar rather loud synchronized ticking pattern emerges from the living room to my back-left: *tick*, *tick*, *tick*, *tick*: amplifier, radio, front speaker (or a double tick from amplifier-radio), television. I walk over: *tick*, *tick*, *tick*, *tick*: the television is producing the loudest tick, several times.
I go, "fuck this" and want to go home. Too much of a trip though, so I put on my headphones, dance to my new song - Chris Brown's Freaky Friday (more like Freaky Sunday) - and continue to work on my laptop."
Later on I hear from my parents that there is no electrical wire along the ceiling where the ticking first started. To this day I'm wondering if anyone else would have heard the ticks if they were there, or if the growing "mushies" back home were playing a psychic joke on me. Psychic connections with the mycelium and live schrooms are pretty normal to me, even after having not taken them for a year-plus. But nothing of this kind has ever happened.
2018: Endless nightmares after Hell visit
On August 19, 2018, I thought it fun to try and visit Hell. From the next night on, it resulted in permanent nightmares every time I closed my eyes, until, finally, after 6 weeks I was able to get rid of the nightmares through an experimentally-devised exorcism.
I won't provide details for the moment.
2020-: Hell house
Something happened in the aftermath of fully getting rid of the nightmares that resulted in certain visions and certain things not growing in my house anymore. I had to take it out of the house for it to grow.
I won't provide details for the moment.
^^What I personally heardDog of aunt comes back?
Several times an aunt of mine has told the story that soon after her doing died, she found wet dog footprints in the water on her kitchen counter. She always suspected it was her dog sending a message.
She also had a Native Indian dream that shot her awake. It always stayed with her.
Ritual summoning leads to stabbing?
I once had a new hippie-like colleague. He was a young guy in his early 20s. He talked about how some friends of his did some kind of summoning ritual in the woods, after which one of them somehow flipped out and stabbed one of his friends. I questioned him about it. He invited me to talk to them, but somehow I thought it too eccentric to start playing investigative journalist with guys 5-6 years younger than me.
I have no clue what to think of it, but it's interesting enough to mention.
