I’ve had experiences that some people would call “paranormal”: lured into the woods and almost to my death by a will-o’-the-wisp; doors opening and closing, even locking and unlocking on their own, miraculous healing. I don’t find these hard to explain, personally.

I went from a state of none existence to scribbling small symbols on dried slices of plant because other monkeys who are supposedly in charge expect me to share a part of the colored bills i was rewarded in rerurn for being complacent in following orders by yet other monkeys who supposedly own my work space because symbols on a slice of dried plant prooves they they do.

Oh and i am also constantly overwhelmed by weird phenomena called emotions and i need to drag a meat suit with me to care for cause if i dont i will experience negative effects before ending up back at non existence which no matter how hard i try i will one day end up regardless.

Better question would be is there annything normal about our existence at all?

Normal is just a concept we came up with to make us feel better about all these existential shenanigans.

Sometimes I zone out and thinking about this stuff and it kind of overwhelmes me. It is fascinating and scary that we are just smarter monkeys everything about human existence and civilization I feel like no one knows what they are doing at the end we are just hairless monkeys on a dying planet that have to complete tasks that actually mean nothing in the great scheme of things.

No sir. There have been studies which link carbon monoxide poisoning to feelings of dread, general unease, and auditory and visual hallucinations. I sincerely don’t believe ghosts exist, there is absolutely zero proof, no verifiable video or photographic evidence, and that’s probably because video and audio equipment can’t get carbon monoxide poisoning, or any of the other potential causes.

That feeling when you’re being haunted but it’s actually just carbon monoxide poisoning
