Nugget. There are houses like that, locations. It depends on the history. Home liquor distillation can attract deceased drunks who come for the alcohol vapours. If the distillation stops, it still takes time for the 'dark atmosphere' to wear off. Ouija and amateur witchcraft also attracts the dead and deceased witches.

So it becomes a question of what to do about it. We could try and shoo away the deceased. But more will come, and we get into unnecessary fights. Better to have a spring-clean and clear away what attracts them. My (shadow) housemate notices the 'dirt' in our home more than I and has me on a cleaning spree. I'm thinking of posting about the subject of cleaning for the Dowsing thread. Something for the future.

Ksihkehe, you've reminded me of my own troubles over the years with your mention of empaths. So many times I've felt out of place emotions, and thoughts. Then it occurred to me that those thoughts and feelings are probably not my own. We pick up things in the air. The question then becomes: who's are they?

I liked your doofus loci, that is very appropriate for some places.

I came up with a theory that explains empathic abilities, at least for me. Anything that's had an impact on my life can be felt soming from others. For instance, I have a major fear of flying, so someone mentions flying recently to visit family. I get an instant 'knowing' that they, too have the same fear. To test my theory I ask if they like to fly-to which the answer is 'heavens, no!".

It has created a stong gut instinct that has only failed me once-. I would stop at a convience store and the clerk there seemed to be a genuinelyi mice, friendly elderly man. It turns out he had been a hardened criminal his entire life, most of which had n=been spent in prison.

I did my homework on psycopaths after that, and hopefully I'll never be fooled by one again....now that I know thier 'energy'- or lack thereof.

I like your observations here Nugget. The psychopath probably has a lack anything that we can pick up that resonates within our own being. They are blanks. I know I have experienced a similar thing with certain people.

There are evil people in the world withsome pretty strong psycopathic tendency, and I've met a few-too many! lol But, this was different. This guy was totally devoid of any emotional content and his job allowed him to create a persona through brief exchanges of pleasantries. It was when he opted for closer interaction with someone that his true, and eventually the depths of his depravity came out.

I  hope I never meet anyone like that again.

Geez Nugget, I wouldn't want to meet someone like that either.

You've reminded me of something important, and since other people read this thread, I probably should write something in general.

The shadow world, and one finds deceased people there, is not much different to this one in that there are all sorts of people there. So when someone starts seeing and hearing things, I generally warn them to take care and treat what one meets as a stranger in the street. In a crowded place, we ordinarily hear the voices of physical people. Yet we don't listen to them, not unless we know them personally. So why listen to disembodied voices, either. The same with seeing things, we see things in the street every day. Yet we don't pay them any attention.

With children, I usually explain it in terms of stranger danger, and if they get scared to tell their mom and she will tell me.

On the theme of undesirables from the shadow world, in addition to the above, one might add that cleanliness is important.

I mentioned before that deceased alcoholics will go where the alcohol is made and soak in the liquor. I am aware that this is a problem for some vineyards in France. Occasionally I have opened a bottle of scotch and had it disagree with me the next morning.  That bottle gets thrown out. Now, it is difficult to tell in advance, so I dowse the bottle before purchase for contamination with the dead. (I should mention this in the Dowsing thread). The home distillery should probably be cleaned and stored properly. I don't have one, so I can't say with authority.

Séance and Ouija boards are looking for trouble. I remember Ouija boards were sold at toy stores back in the sixties. Even displayed in the front windows. Hardly a toy "for ages six and above".  Many an attendee at a séance has been followed home.

Drugs I shouldn't have to mention. Like alcohol, some deceased people will come to bathe in the smoke, especially if done regularly in the same place.  Drug houses resonate in this way.

There is also the consideration of the location.  A house on a fairy road can be the cause of deceased strangers walking through the house.

It is easy for me to say these things, don't do this, don't do that. It goes without saying that bringing up problems, one should provide solutions.  Common sense basics aside, dowsing is one way to diagnose these things and over the years most of these things have been solved within dowsing organisations such as the British Dowsers and American Dowsers societies.  I still have a basic book on dowsing on my shelf. Healing Sick Houses - Dowsing for healthy homes by Roy and Ann Procter.  Western Geomancy has a lot of good articles and solutions.

The (shadow) girl is in her early teens and as most girls at that age, she has a crush on a (living) boy. She spends a lot of time with him.

So how can this be?

Well, the Buddhists say that this is the desire world, and I can agree with them here. Of course the Buddhists also say that to ascend to a "higher realm" and leave the desire world is a case of becoming desireless. It is a no-brainer to understand that the ticket into the desire world is to have a desire.

So it follows that everyone comes here with a desire. It also stands to reason that if that desire is fulfilled within that lifetime, we leave without regret.  So unfulfilled desire is probably the biggest reason for people to stay behind. With youngsters who die early that desire wasn't realised, and just because they are in the afterlife / shadow world doesn't mean they magically become desireless and everything is resolved.

So that is my soft spot for this (shadow) girl, she has an unrequited crush on someone.

-------------------------

The Buddhists talk about the desire world as if it were a bad thing. - I have to disagree with them there.

Since the desire world and the desires that bring us here are a topic . . .

. . . and since the little people love to pose these things to humans.

Here is a riddle:

---------------------------------------

There are three transcendental treasures to be found within this mortal world.
Two of these treasures can only be discovered once in a lifetime.
Only when the first two treasures are known will the third treasure reveal itself to mortal eyes.

---------------------------------------

What are they?

I'll post the answer later. I promise to remember (probably).

The Shadow People, Dicyanin, and the Human Eye.

Introduction.

The shadow people  are one of those subjects that get attention now and then. Speculation of what the shadow people really are, and where they come from, is the subject of a few books and videos.

What I would like to do here is put forward a theory based on my own investigations, sightings and children who can see the shadow people and other non-human shadow beings. There is a technique of teaching our eyes to see the shadow people. I will also put forward the suggestion that we don't need clairvoyance, either. We can also touch on the subject of dicyanin glasses. The lenses of which were developed in the late nineteenth century for investigation into techniques of medical diagnosis.  I happen to own a rather expensive pair of goggles that use the dicyanin dye in the lenses.

Of late, the shadow people have become a subject where I live. Kids are seeing shadow people big and small, and the adults don't know what is going on with their children. Three kids so far have come to my attention over the last few months. 

The problem as I see it is when adults panic, kids get scared. There is also a common association with the night terrors and children who are scared of the dark. Those kids who insist that there has to be a light on, no matter what.

In a way I am lucky research wise, because I have a young lady who visits here and who has always been able to see the shadow Beings. She grew up thinking it was normal, and naturally assumed everyone can see them. She calls them corner peakers. My own name for them is mimics.

The term corner peakers comes from her seeing small humanoid beings peaking around the corners of doors, much as a child would do to eavesdrop on parents. Mimics is my term derived from a habit of the shadow people where they mimic human behaviour. One can easily guess from whom the corner peakers  learned the habit of peaking around corners.

I have had my own encounters with the shadow people. That is in addition to seeing them as most people do, and that is as fleeting shadows in the peripheral vision. They usually disappear when one looks straight at them. The question here is; Do they really disappear when looked at, or is it something else?

Simply put; lots of kids can see them naturally, and so can adults. I am of the opinion there is a down to earth explanation that can be explained with some basic physiological understanding of how the human eye works.

I am of the opinion that seeing the shadow people and other shadow Beings is all to do with night vision and the rods and cones of the eye.

I shall put together more posts shortly and post them here. This is quite the subject, and too big for just one opening post to do it justice. After all, we have plenty of time.

I don't know where they are from nor what they are but I have had my fair share of encounters. ... and if only it was just someone peaking around a corner! Full body apparitions 👻 no features per say... but solid silhouettes... not see-through at all. I had seen these things so often that I had thought maybe im losing my grasp on reality. Until one day I was in front of my house and a buddy of mine blurted out "holy crap!" Without thinking I turned to him and said to him... "let me guess, 6ft tall porch black figure?" "Oh you saw it too???" He replied.  I said "no not this time but YOU did!" This was at dusk.  With plenty of light out. He said it ran right passed my car and through the 8ft wooden side gate into the backyard. I had seen similar before. I never mentioned this to anyone at the time mind you.  The most interactive experience was when i was outside having a smoke in the dead of night.. sometime passed 3am and this thing walked up the opposite side of the half moon drive way.. walked into the doorway and then it turned is torso toward me... twisted back and went through my front 🚪.  Can't say it was negative... nor positive... but normally it was something passive.  This one situation felt like it definitely wanted my attention.  As far as mimics, the first encounter I can recall, I must have been about 8 or 9 years old and heard my mother's voice calling out to me 3 times.  I didn't answer and just stopped playing with my TMNT and wen my downstairs to see what mom wanted.  When I asked her"what's up mom? Why did you call me? SHE SAID SHE NEVER DID we were the only ones home that day.  I recall her asking if I had responded outloud but said no I just came downstairs. She just dismissed and told me to go back up and keep playing.  There are way more encounters i could speak about... in my home and in others.  Feel free to ask anything!

G'day WhosWatchingWho - welcome aboard.

Your encounters remind me of the young lady who drew me the pictures. She grew up thinking the shadow people were as natural as birds in the garden and didn't say anything about what she saw. So it came as a shock to her mom when the daughter said "look at that", and her mom didn't see it herself. Mom of course panicked, and they visited me with the story.

That is the thing about the shadow people, when kids see them, adults panic. When adults panic, then the kids panic, and we have a big problem. Not the shadow people, or the kids - but the adult reaction.

How did you go with explaining what you saw to the adults?
