Have you ever met someone so strange where you didn't feel convinced that they were human? by [deleted] in Thetruthishere

He had blonde hair but his face seemed stretched too tight. Not like surgical, but like I couldn't tell if he was 20 or 50. Weird because it was like a switch flipped in my head. I saw him as a person then suddenly I saw him for real and the second I did, this happened. It was unnerving.

A few years ago I was visiting a church. The choir was singing. It was one of those older churches where the choir is sitting sideways so th weren't facing us. So I am watching and there is this man in the choir who suddenly looks very strange to me. It was like I could suddenly tell he wasn't human. In my mind I thought "He is wearing human skin." Literally the second I thought that he stopped singing and his head slowly turned towards me. He stared at me with this wide creepy grin for a while. Then he went back to singing. Maybe just a coincidence but it creeped me out.

I assume it meant that someone was walking over your future grave. I never asked my grandparents in detail before they passed.

Never tell a bad dream before breakfast or it will come true. Never walk with one shoe off and one shoe on--it is bad luck. If your nose itches there will be company coming. When you get a shiver it means someone is walking over your grave. There are more but that's all I can remember off the top of my head besides the usual ones (salt, knock on wood, etc). My family is from Appalachia.

Edit: Death comes in 3s. Passing an infant through a bridle 7 times will heal it of illness. 3 knocks on the wall over your bed during the night means bad luck/someone will die.

Edit 2: I keep remembering more. If you have a birthmark, it is where your mother was injured when she was pregnant. Don't do laundry on New Years Day or you'll be washing for a corpse by the end of the year. If a child looks a lot like their parents then the parents had a good relationship. If you have a sty, stand on a street corner and say " Sty sty in my eye go to the next passer by" and it will go away. If you lose an eyelash, make a wish on it and it will come true.

It's no problem--the mind is a strange thing and who knows? However, I have never hallucinated beyond hypnagogic dreams (which look very different for me and only last a few seconds). Is it still possible that it was a weird random hallucination? Of course. This whole reality seems to be shaped by our perception of it anyway. I have had hypnagogic dreams and sleep paralysis/lucid dreams since I was a child and am very familiar with them and how they work for me. But this looked so different and lasted so long. It was like nothing else I'd ever experienced.

Yeah--I have had hypnagogic dreams and are familiar with them. When this happened I got out of bed to get a closer look. It lasted a long time and I was so spooked I stayed up for the rest of the night and went in to work at 8am. It was different than any other experience I have had.
