Having barely woken up, so not quite fully awake yet, she didn’t immediately react. She doesn’t remember being shocked or feeling confused. She was certain that the web wasn’t there when she went to bed, so she just looked at it for a few seconds wondering what it really was and where it could have come from. She thought it possible she was still dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes really well. She then looked toward the ceiling. But again, she saw the surreal site. The strange looking web was still there.
Now she started to get quite anxious, but decided to get a hold of herself and to give the eye-rubbing another try. She was shocked to see that now the web had simply vanished. Gone without a trace. The ceiling was again plain white and free of anything foreign on it. My mother could never understand nor explain what had actually occurred. Much like herself, the rest of us can only ponder, guess at best.

Let me now relay a few interesting ‘adventures’ by the members of my family. Of course, being that I’ve known the people who told me about those adventures my whole life and can discern the truth from embellished tall tales, I vouch that what I will now relay to you were the real experiences by the real people.
It is not any less unfortunate that I do not remember what (may not have been a who) took me off the bed and tenderly laid me down smack middle of the floor (of a large bedroom). Naturally, that gesture, whether by some unknown force or not, didn’t really impress me much, I suppose. But I did let the world now I was quite displeased about helpless lying on the floor business. Hearing my sudden loud scream, the whole family stampeded over one another as to reach the bedroom in the shortest time possible assuming something must have happened to me. They stood puzzled at the site of me lying on the spot that I simply could not have reached on my own. Yet they knew none of them placed me there.
The whole event took seconds tops. In the interest of being better understood, let me explain it a bit better. Personally, I hardly ever came across an adult who has never - not even once - experienced something weird and inexplicable. Those of you who never experienced anything of sort - do beware, ‘cause you never know… In today’s article I’ll illustrate my own such experience, and also a few additional ones by some people close to me. As (mis)fortune would have it, there aren’t many, so this article probably won’t run to some astronomical lengths. Being that I chose to write along the lines of Forteana and the weird in the world, I felt the need to open up to you - the readers - and tell you about such stuff I myself have experienced or have heard from the people close to me. Their recounts were evaluated through my merciless tests of validity.
OF AUTHORS WHOSE WORKS, THOUGH OF DIFFERENT MERIT, DESERVE TO BE READ
A few additional names I will here mention had written works that merit a somewhat lower ranking than the works of the aforementioned authors. To this category I assign the enthusiasts like Erich von Daniken and Robert Charroux, perhaps also B. D. Bendedict (a writer of Croatian ancestry) with his theory of the parallel dimensions and of Purgatory through reincarnation, Charles Berlitz (the author of an highly entertaining “Bermuda’s Triangle”), and Arthur C. Clarke (who approaches the mysteries quite formally and dryly, but who is also reliable in terms of quality of his work and quite excellent for beginners). OF OTHER FORTEAN “HEAVY WEIGHTS”
It might be just to add the married couple Janet and Colin Bord, late Ivan Sanderson, John Michell, and John A. Keel [with his “Strange Mutants: From Mothman to Demon Dogs and Phantom Cats] to the above company of the well known heavy-weights. Here also belong Theo Paijmans [with his amazing “Free Energy Pioneer: John Worrell Keely], and John Collins [with his rare gem - and his only published book - “Perpetual Motion: An Ancient Mystery Solved?”. OF CHARLES HOY FORT
The founder of this 'different' science and biggest researcher of the strange phenomena and anomalous occurrences was one rather interesting character who lived and worked in the second half of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century. His name was Charles Hoy Fort. OF WILLIAM CORLISS
The biggest name in this type of research today is probably William R. Corliss. An expert in the domain of astronomy and astrophysics, Corliss has written a whole score of books on communication systems, the universe, and some technical papers which I did not fully comprehend so am wont to discuss. OF CHARLATANS AND DISEMINATORS OF INVALID ‘FACTS’
Believe it or not, there are those who base their whole - let’s call it - “work” on an mysterious event. Of course you can’t possibly know exactly what I’m talking about - only those authors could! as only they were privy to the actual occurrences of such events. Only they could reveal to us the particulars (and significance) of some such “occurrence”. OF EVIDENCE OF YEARNING FOR THE MYSTERIOUS
Contrary to the aforementioned generalizations that seemingly prevail, there are findings that show that many private gatherings (be it various meetings, cocktail parties or gala dinners), end up in discussion of the unknown, the occult, etc. Some such evenings are 'spiced up' by telling of frightful stories, retelling of an experiment, or by having a seánse. Seems harmless enough, nice and dandy and fun. |
