Maybe you’ve felt like you’re being watched or sensed a presence in the room when no one else is around. These are the things that go bump in the night, the unexplained phenomena that can leave us feeling uneasy and unsettled. While some of these occurrences can be easily explained away by rational explanations such as creaky pipes or drafts, others are more difficult to dismiss. Paranormal activity has been reported throughout history and in cultures all over the world. I can’t wait to share more here regarding all the research and information I have gathered. From ghostly apparitions and poltergeist activity to encounters with cryptids and other mysterious creatures, there is no shortage of things that go bump in the night. One of the most common types of paranormal activity reported is ghostly encounters. People have reported seeing apparitions of loved ones who have passed away, as well as encountering unknown spirits in haunted locations. These encounters can be accompanied by strange sounds and sensations, such as cold spots or feelings of being touched by an unseen presence especially during “witching hours” of 3am to 4am. Another type of unexplained activity is poltergeist phenomena, which involves objects moving or being thrown around without any apparent cause. These incidents are often associated with adolescent energy, and are commonly believed to be caused by psychokinesis, or the ability to move objects with the mind. Encounters with cryptids, or mysterious creatures such as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, are also part of the lore of things that go bump in the night. These creatures are often associated with remote wilderness areas or bodies of water, and sightings of them have been reported for decades. So, what can we make of these mysterious occurrences? While there is no single explanation that can account for all of them, it’s clear that they are a part of the human experience. As stated in part one – perhaps these occurrences are a reminder that there is still much we don’t understand about the world around us, or that our perception of reality is more fluid than we might think. Whatever the case, it’s clear that things that go bump in the night continue to captivate and intrigue us. Whether we’re exploring haunted locations, investigating poltergeist phenomena, or searching for evidence of cryptids, we continue to seek out answers to the mysteries that surround us. So the next time you hear a strange noise in the middle of the night, don’t be too quick to dismiss it – it could be one of the many things that go bump in the night.

Things That Go Bump in the Night – Part One https://tarabethbryant.com/2023/04/20/things-that-go-bump-in-the-night-part-one/ https://tarabethbryant.com/2023/04/20/things-that-go-bump-in-the-night-part-one/#respond Thu, 20 Apr 2023 16:35:10 +0000 https://tarabethbryant.com/?p=186 I got up around 3:15 “last night” to assist my son, C. For a little background and not 100% relevant to the story here, but important to know. C is 16 with Muscular Dystrophy. He is wheelchair bound. It is not uncommon for him to need help adjusting during the night as he is too weak to do it on his own. Back to the topic at hand, 3:15am… I walk down the hall and instantly hear music coming from the Alexia in the kitchen. My house is modest. You can definitely hear from room to room. Having an Alexia in every room is probably so unnecessary, but here we are. As soon as I hear the music, I said out loud “oh that’s weird!” Dan (my spouse) heard me and asked me what was going on. I told him Alexia is playing music and he basically shrugged it off rolled over and went back to sleep. I took two or three steps down the hall, again, modest house. I am almost to the kitchen at this point. The music stopped. It was so weird and absolutely possible that the song was over. I honestly have no clue what the song even was. Not anything that Dan or I listen to. But it stopped. I verbalize that it is weird again and again Dan asks what. I tell him the Alexia stopped. He said “Weird!” and that was that. He was back to sleep in moments. I stopped in the bathroom, since it is right there. I knew C didn’t need urgent assistance. When I came out of the bathroom, the kitchen light was on. I didn’t turn it on. C couldn’t have turned it on. Dan was sleeping and I would have seen him walk past the bathroom door if he would have turned it on. The kitchen light that was turned on is not connected to Alexia. We do have some smart bulbs, but the light that was on is not. I did take a quick look around thinking maybe the 6-year-old was up and messing with me. But nope, I didn’t find anyone lurking about. So naturally I ask C if he asked his Alexia to play any music or anything that may have triggered the Alexia in the kitchen. He said he didn’t. He only had asked for his sleep sounds, which isn’t music, but white noise. I make note of it all. I help C and go back to bed. This experience may scare some, but for me it was a normal Thursday. The amount of weird, strange experiences I have lived in my thirty some years has made this experience totally normal. Does it still catch you off guard, yes, absolutely. Can it still be scary, yes, absolutely. As a human, my mind usually goes to human things. Even though I eat, sleep, and breath paranormal and acknowledge spirits and entities are always around us, I try to keep a levelheaded space. Honestly, my first thought was, “who is in my house?” Second thought is A (the 6-year-old) is out of bed. This is the importance of awareness and investigation. Validation is important for research. Mysteries surround us, particularly the unexplained phenomena that occur at night. While some occurrences can be explained away by rational explanations, others are more difficult to dismiss. This experience could have absolutely been just a technical glitch. That can happen with any electronic, especially a smart device connected to the internet. Phenomena are a reminder that there is still much we don’t understand about the world around us, and that our perception of reality is more fluid than we might think. Keep an open mind. Stay curious.

Mysteries That Surround Us https://tarabethbryant.com/2023/04/20/mysteries-that-surround-us/ https://tarabethbryant.com/2023/04/20/mysteries-that-surround-us/#respond Thu, 20 Apr 2023 03:06:48 +0000 https://tarabethbryant.com/?p=184 The mysteries that surround us are endless, from the paranormal and the unexplained to the mysteries of the universe and the nature of reality. As humans, we are naturally curious and driven to seek out answers to these mysteries. We want to understand the unknown and to shed light on the things that go bump in the night. One way to approach this quest for knowledge is to share our experiences and knowledge with each other. By doing so, we can gain a better understanding of the paranormal and the unknown. If someone has had a personal encounter with a ghost or a cryptid, sharing their story with others who have had similar experiences can help us all gain a deeper understanding of what these phenomena might be. By comparing notes and sharing details, we may be able to piece together a more complete picture of what’s really going on. Likewise, by sharing research and theories about the paranormal, we can begin to explore and understand the mysteries that surround us. This might involve discussing scientific studies on topics like ESP and telekinesis, exploring the history and folklore of haunted locations, or delving into the mysteries of the universe and the nature of reality. One thing to keep in mind when it comes to shedding light on the mysteries that surround us is to remain open-minded and curious. We should be willing to consider new ideas and perspectives, even if they challenge our existing beliefs. We should also be willing to admit when we don’t know something and to seek out the expertise of others who may be more knowledgeable in a particular area. By sharing our experiences and knowledge with each other, we can create a community of curious and passionate individuals who are dedicated to exploring the unknown and shedding light on the mysteries that surround us. Whether it’s through online forums, in-person meetups, or other forms of communication, we can come together to share our stories, our research, and our theories, and to work together towards a deeper understanding of the unknown. In conclusion, shedding light on the mysteries that surround us is an ongoing process of exploration and discovery. By sharing our experiences and knowledge with each other, we can gain a better understanding of the paranormal and the unknown, and work towards a deeper understanding of the mysteries that surround us. So, let’s come together, share our stories, and embark on this journey of discovery together.
