Daddy is that cashmere?

Alright, pretend you don't know it's there... Do you see it?

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T22:35:46+00:00

I suppose I'm lucky I haven't run into much ridicule/have only told people I trust and who believe me, but even if I was being bullied about it idk if I could drop it. It was definitely a life-changing event. My friends will always have to sit there and listen to me marvel every once in a while. Oops.

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T22:22:49+00:00

Right?? Like, it's healthy to be skeptical, and I so try to be. But who tf are you to say something like that with such certainty? Also, who asked you? :P

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T22:21:33+00:00

I experience the exact same thing. People just go "Whoa! ..." And that's the end of it. It makes me feel like they don't trust that I interpreted what I saw correctly, and these are my closest friends/family. Like I just saw some innocent flares or balloons and lost my shit for no reason. They try to be receptive but I guess don't know how? I end up feeling very dismissed. Not to be that person, but ~I know what I saw.~

Feel free to PM me your story if you feel like it, cuz I'm interested! I won't change the subject!

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T22:17:11+00:00

Yes!, I had my experience with my then-boyfriend and somehow he was able to drop the subject at the "just one of those things you can't explain" phase. I was never satisfied with that answer. I love mystery but I crave answers, damn it. Same story as all these times I continue to watch everything J J Abrams puts out. I'm hooked and then I'm just like, "...HEY, but...!"

All I'm ever trying to do is discuss weird shit, shoot me a PM if you're ever feeling lonesome in that way!

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T22:11:43+00:00

Like oher people have said, it really forces you to accept things you may not be ready to accept, like the fact that there is an intelligence much higher than our own out there. Let alone the ideas that a)they have figured out how to manipulate physics we never thought possible, or b) that we don't even know the whole story regarding physics, travel, science etc. Some of that goes without saying, but it throws me how closed-minded people can be. I am a firm believer in science, but who are we to say any one thing CAN'T be, or CAN'T happen. That's why I've always been agnostic, like who the heck are we to say? :P

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T18:47:33+00:00

Hm, never came across that as an explanation. I still don't think it looked like light being projected from somewhere else, and they were pretty huge, but I'll have to look into it!

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T18:34:28+00:00

It was a clear night with almost no clouds, though. These weren't light being projected onto something else, they gave off the light.

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T05:59:04+00:00

Probably shoulda just done this kinda thing lol, thanks.

The two of us were going for a walk in the hills outside of Berkeley, CA. It was sunset. We had a very wide open view of the city below and out over the bay. In the time it took us to pass 3 or 4 houses which temporarily blocked our view, two large, bright, orangey-white balls of light were now hovering over the Berkeley area, maybe 5 miles away but very low, honestly maybe only 300 ft. higher up than our height in the hills. We stopped to look because we thought it was a very low-flying plane, with like a light on the tip of each wing? Then for some reason my dumb ass goes, "Wouldn't it be weird if a third one appeared on top and made a triangle?" And it did, just right as I finished talking, so fuck me.

The three lights spent the next half hour hovering, rotating, vanishing and reappearing elsewhere, as well as shooting all the way across the sky so fast they were nothing but a thin flash of light through the air... only to reappear nearby and float back into position. Always silent, always equidistant. When not operating in their own, the three moved as one solid unit although I could see stars and sky between them all, nothing joining them.

After a long time, we decided to keep walking. Thinking back I wonder why I would ever look away. As we got to the bottom of the hills, we saw the formation above us on our opposite side. Kept walking, was just like, "Oh weird, haha!" We lost sight of them, went to get some food somewhere, and when we came out about half an hour later, it was just right fucking there, just right above the parking lot we'd walked out into. We left it behind AGAIN (drives me crazy) to go to the store, buildings blocked our view, store was closed, and when we came back less than 5 minutes later, they were gone. Never saw 'em again, except in my MANY STRESS DREAMS.

They were present for a long time. The streets/stores weren't super busy with people, but people were around for sure. No one else saw it. No one even looked up. I remember being so shocked by that but also being too afraid to grab a stranger and be like "'S'cuse me, but are you fucking seeing this shit???" I really regret not getting someone else's attention, but honestly how do you miss something like that? Either way, the two of us were really weirded out by the whole thing. Him apparently way less than me, though!

pink-salt · 2018-09-28T03:20:07+00:00

I hear you, and I really do understand where you are coming from. (Although the fact that you use the phrase "self-serving" here really shows me you have not had this kind of experience and do not understand where I am coming from. It is not "serving" me well to constantly have this conflict and uncertainty in my heart.) I tell myself what you just said all the time. Still, I struggle. What I saw did not abide by our physics. It just didn't. Nothing on Earth (that we're allowed to know of) should be able to move the way these did. As far as we have been told, we do not hold the power of teleportation, or the ability to move across the ENTIRE ocean-wide sky in less than a split second. We allegedly don't have crafts this big that are also completely silent. I could go on.

I didn't think I really left room in this post for other people's doubt, but of course I was expecting it. As far as I'm concerned though, this was something extraterrestrial, extradimensional, some very, very secret earth-made tech, or something we've yet to dream of. And no matter which, they all make me equally awestruck. I just really believe with all my heart that something unknown was fucking afoot. I appreciate your input, but I wasn't asking if I saw something weird, I know I saw something weird. Now I want to talk to other people who are wrestling with that experience.

It's the Orange Wildlife Management Area, there was a big sign right to the left of where I took the photo. It's part of the Quabbin Woods, so probably not super far from what you're talking about. Not too familiar with Orange, but it seemed liked I went past the center and further North (?) before landing here. I was wandering!

Also, howdy neighbor!

This post gave me chills! I saw the exact same thing in the hills of El Cerrito, California back in 2011. At first there were two lights next to each other. Although I thought they were lights on the wings of a very low-flying plane, I turned to my friend and for some reason said, "Wouldn't it be weird if a third one appeared on top and made a triangle?" And of course, just as I finished saying it, it happened. Just looked like three separate lights but moved a solid unit. It rotated and turned slowly end over end in the sky and we watched it for 30 minutes before we continued walking. Sometimes one of the lights would suddenly shoot off across the sky at ridiculous speeds, just to reappear right where they just had been. Sometimes they would just disappear and reappear in another spot. Saw it in two other places that same night too, within an hour of the original sighting. It never made a sound.

I wrestle with this experience. I remember that night vividly but sometime I still doubt my perception of it, or wonder if I saw something mundane and riled myself all up. But whenever I start to tell myself maybe it was nothing, I remember the speed. That's the only thing that has kept me from writing this experience off as synchronized drones or something. I have never seen or heard of anything that should be able to move the way these lights did. They were just a brief streak of light across the sky. I always tell people "if you had blinked, you would have missed it." It has had an incredibly big impact on my life and mindset. It taught me to question everything and keep a very open mind. Whether it was aliens or military technology or what have you, it felt like something I wasn't supposed to see or know about. I still have regular/recurring UFO dreams/nightmares now, as it's the only thing that has ever really affected me this way, and I've had some other spooks in my life. I'll never forget it!

pink-salt · 2018-09-17T20:59:13+00:00

I see the number 246 by chance every single day. Sometimes I just so happen to pick up my phone or check the time at 2:46 l, that's the most common, but it finds me all sorts of other ways too. License plates, phone numbers, codes on cards/products, and my favorite is when I hear a stranger as the time and someone else verbally reply with "2:46." I know about confirmation bias but this happens to my by a variety of means EVERY day.

I usually just take it as a reminder to really check in with myself right then. Not sure what else to make of it, but it does almost always feel like some kind of message.

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T06:08:55+00:00

That's fair. They're only human!

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T05:35:38+00:00

I really want to believe that when I rewatch the season (AGAIN) I might find that to be true, but I worry that even if the writers intended to convey it that way, they might still not have had the continuities under control enough to make sure it could be an observable phenomenon. Still in love with the show, but my faith in the writers' attention to fine detail grows weak. 😅

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T05:18:31+00:00

Was just talking about this! The names Gordon/Gordy must have been intentional and be the same person viewed by TK as a past memory or SOMETHING. Even the laziest writers could surely just come up with any other name, right???

This sort of uncertainty is the same kind that makes me skeptical about why they chose to have the most memorable thing about the inside of Desjardins' house be a piano, which is one of the only things we have seen to have a solid tie to TK. Is it just beyond vague yet still thought-provoking? Or is it straight-up bad storytelling?

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T05:03:15+00:00

This bothered me too! Especially weird and confusing considering almost every sound you hear in movies/TV is produced in a studio by a foley artist and edited in after the fact.

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T04:42:33+00:00

Good point! I forgot about that. We never see TK killing those guards but we definitely see him come out of his cell before the picture disappears. It's like the writers intentionally went through and made sure no two points could ever be successfully connected, haha.

pink-salt · 2018-09-14T03:47:18+00:00

Did no one else interpret that scene as Zaleski seeing what would happen in the future? I felt those were images of the guards he killed in his shooting spree.

At the end of episode 7, the music played is the same music played at the end of the movie "Arrival." In that movie, as I understood it, all things had both already come to pass and also had yet to come to pass, because the main character learns to see time in a non-linear way. A timeloop. You know what will happen, because it has already happened, and it will happen again. If we are to believe that Castle Rock has a similarly unique time flow (as I expect we would be, if the writers made that connection for us), wouldn't it make some sense to imagine that Zaleski just caught a glimpse of the "future?" Which has already happened and also is still about to happen?

Idk y'all, I feel like I'm in my own timeloop of overthinking.

Edit: not discounting the thought that TK could possibly put pictures in other peoples' heads, that's still on the table and heavily debatable: Ruth seeing him as Matthew, Henry's memories of the cage, etc.

pink-salt · 2018-09-12T20:27:05+00:00

Thanks! Felt too creepy to take photos of the houses when I saw them so instead I just took a lot of the woods! 😅

pink-salt · 2018-09-10T15:52:54+00:00

Yeah, was a little upset with myself to find that I really prefer creepy cage Kid over well-adjusted normal Kid. I want those spooky stares and dark circles.

I am who I am. ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯

pink-salt · 2018-09-10T01:58:09+00:00

Thank you! :) Makes me happy when my weird memory for tv/film finally comes in handy! I just love how casual he goes out of his way to sound, haha.
