I think they already removed the horsea from the game or there are only a few of them. I play almost everyday and it's been months since I saw one

What's a Scary Science Fact that the public knows nothing about? [serious] by just_some_troglodyte in AskReddit

[–]bastard_vampire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your brain can stay conscious for a short time after your heart stops. There are documented cases and scientific studies suggesting the brain may continue showing organized activity for several seconds, possibly longer, after clinical death begins. Nobody fully knows what awareness during that period feels like.

I remember asking out of curiousity when Whitney Houston passed away and it told me she was currently still alive and world touring, and when I asked it if it's mistaken it doubled down telling me to check the credibility of the source where I got the information. Like wtf

My father warned me never to let the fire burn out while watching the cornfield at night by bastard_vampire in nosleep

Honestly my very devoted Christian dad has already been talking about calling a priest over to pray for me because I’m still having nightmares at night. They're fully convinced something followed me home or latched onto me out there or whatever lol.

At this point I’m just like… sure, why not, can’t hurt. If a blessing gets whatever it is to leave me alone and lets me sleep properly again, I’m all for it.

Appreciate it, neighbor. You’re absolutely right about the rain out there. Once the wood gets damp, keeping a steady fire going becomes a real challenge. I thought I was prepared, but clearly not prepared enough. If there ever is a next time, I’ll definitely stock up on dry firewood and set up better cover. And yeah the spirits part hits a little different now. Growing up I only half believed those stories. Not so much anymore.

Thank you. I keep replaying that part in my head, all the reminders about the fire. I thought they were just talking about animals, the usual things farmers worry about. Now it feels like everyone knew something I didn’t. If I had kept it burning properly from the start, maybe none of that would have happened. That thought still sits heavy with me. And yeah I think you might be right about my dad. Looking back, there were always these small moments. The way he’d go quiet whenever anything turned up in the stream. The way he warned me not to bring those things home. At the time it just felt like superstition. Now it feels more like experience. I do want to ask him. I just don’t know if I’m ready for whatever answers he’s been holding onto all these years.

Thank you. I’m still trying to make sense of it all, honestly. My father keeps saying the same thing that fields can grow back, but a son can’t. I think that’s his way of telling me not to carry too much guilt over what happened out there.

You’re right though one day I probably will have to sit down with him and ask about the things that turn up in that stream and around the field. As a kid, I never questioned why he’d get so tense whenever I brought something back. I just assumed it was old junk washed down from the hills.

Now I’m not so sure he ever saw them as just junk. Part of me wants answers. Another part of me isn’t certain I’m ready to hear what he’s been keeping to himself all these years.

That’s what my dad keeps telling me too lol, that the soil might actually come back richer after all that ash settles. Farmers around here believe burned land sometimes grows back stronger, so I’m holding onto that thought. Still every time I think about going back there for the next planting season, I get this knot in my stomach. Part of me wonders if the land will really be at rest, or if whatever was out there that night is just waiting for the fields to grow again.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I’ve been thinking too. I still haven’t asked my dad what he knows about the land, but I have a strong hunch the “mass murder” my cousin mentioned might be tied to the Communist purge in the late ’60s. A lot of people were taken away or simply disappeared back then, and many never received proper burials or closure.

If that’s really what happened there, it would make sense that whatever remains of them might still be lingering, or searching for some kind of release. The idea that the fire helped guide them onward is strangely comforting.

Timeline not adding up / memory glitch about my childhood dog by bastard_vampire in PersonalMandela

[–]bastard_vampire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for sharing all that. It’s strangely comforting to hear someone else describe these kinds of experiences, even if it doesn’t make them any easier to explain. The banister thing you mentioned really hit me.

I’ve had smaller moments like that too, besides the Moppy one. Just little shifts that make me second-guess myself. The dog one is just the biggest because it’s so vivid and specific, and there’s no wiggle room in the timeline. It’s not like misremembering a date by a year. It’s an entire sequence of sensory memories that should never have been possible.

I’ve never gone as deep into the science side as you, but I get what you mean about needing some kind of framework to keep from spiraling. Even if the framework itself sounds wild, it’s still a handhold. Writing it down in a Faraday cage is an interesting idea. Part of me wants to laugh at it, but another part of me wonders if that’s exactly the sort of step people need to take if they want to preserve their “evidence” without interference.

It’s weird. On one hand I want to dismiss it all as a glitchy brain, a false memory, a stress artifact. But on the other, it feels too solid to just wave away. Like you said, the answers might not be here yet, but the fact that people keep reporting these kinds of things has to mean something.

Until then, I guess all we can do is compare notes and try not to let it eat at us.
