which country has the best ghosts?
>>18630317
I would say Japan.
>>18632098
Agreed with this anon. Japan is know as the land of the Kami (aka Gods) by their own inhabitants since they first settled there.
Even if you don't believe in supernatural spirits, the ammount of mental energy the people devote to their land is off the charts. Aokigahara is notoriously a really spooky place.
>>18632098
I once asked a couple of Japanese ghosts why they wear that triangle thing on their head.
Apparently not even they know.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with "hatred curses"? I've no intention of using one, but came across it while looking at some random pages online, and was curious about them.
>>18629994
i used to have one once upon a time not anymore tho
>>18629995
Cast on you? can you give a bit more detail and background.
>>18629998
Essentially anything i said or did would cause rejection regardless of what it was, i mean i was kinda obnoxious a lot of times but even when i tried my hardest not to be same happened, cassandra style
Then it got worse and then it vanished i think but not know
Just share some good paranormal stories.

And then they never left.

SCP Thread
Lets have a real SCP thread where we actually work together to create a good SCP.
I was thinking something a bit more cosmic horror-ey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph_sR51KBi8
Like that except something with a new spin maybe?
What about a phenomenon where a hornet's nest grows in an astronaut's suit?
>>18629658
I actually like that, maybe as a result of getting to close to something.
For example lets say that a few years ago there was an asteroid headed for earth and the foundation sent a MTF to stop it, (maybe with some gravity device idk) they succeeded only to have the hornet nests grow in their space suits like the asteroid had some kind of defense mechanism. Also maybe they're not regular hornets but like they spread some kind of contamination that could end the world, also the asteroid is circling back around to earth or something maybe?
>>18629670
Funny you should mention an asteroid. Ever read a comic called Nameless? They had something like that going on (except about a billion times more complex, I'm not getting into it) but my point is that what if the asteroid had a symbol on it like from the comic.

What are some of your experiences with astral projection or obe? & how do you go about doing so and how do you protect yourself from nasty astral beings?
They can cause severe dread and negative feelings but they cannot hurt you. No matter how convincing they can be you have to understand that they can't physically harm you.
Also, can I speak to the goetia while in the astral realm?
Is there a single proof that anything "astral" exists?
Anyone know anything about dreams and what they might mean?
I keep having this dream, if I sleep longer than 4-5 hours, about Saturn coming closer and closer to Earth. What's the deal with this?
>>18629385
Have you been thinking about Saturn a lot?
I ask this because I had a nightmare a long time ago. I was on by bed thinking about the illuminati and how awesome they were, wishing to join them. I soon dozed off and found myself in some kind of hot darkness. It felt like I was in the desert but complete darkness everywhere. The illuminati symbol came out of the darkness and stared at me, saying incoherent and nonsensical things. I was afraid and woke up sweating.
I'm not so keen on the illuminati anymore.

Saturn is coming for us all.
I still don't know how but it will.
Too many things add up and it's starting to make me feel autist.
Who knows.
Just waiting until September to see if the world ends.
>>18629403
What are the things that are "adding up"?
I talked to a coworker of mine about it and she said she used to have dreams about Saturn too until she moved, which weirded me out.
Why September?
Lets talk about the saturnian cult. Any truth or just more larping? I was born and raised as an assyrian christian. I also speak aramiac fluently. Before the rise of christianity, it was said that saturnian was prevelent amongst the assyrian kings of babylon Nimrod and shamash. I'm generally curious what X has to say.
The sun behind the sun. Saturn is a true powerhouse. Many contact, or seek to contact him through various names. Few realize the entity that they seek is Saturn.

I have just gotten into the occult, point me in the right direction /x/. I have been meditating daily for the better part of a year and have been reading up on magickal theory.
What should I do? What should I avoid? Am I just willingly giving myself mental illness?
>>18627032
>What should I do?
End your life
>What should I avoid?
Living
>Am I just willingly giving myself mental illness?
You are here, so, yeah
>>18627032
>Am I just willingly giving myself mental illness?
Look at the world around you, how it functions, where the occults position is in it, how those who follow the occult explain its many nuances to themselves. Ask yourself the above question honestly.
Then you'll have all the answers.
>>18627032
try hoodoo and santeria.
Me and my family were clearing out my dead great grandma's house. We were burning all of her possessions that were too old or broken to be salvaged. As i was throwing some old ripped dresses into the bonfire i saw my dad and uncle come towards the fire with a perfectly fine looking oak chest. i asked why they were burning it and my dad just mumbled under his breath something about hoodoo and popitts. when i tried to ask him again he completely ignored me. any info will be appreciated.
>>18626879
>popitts
Do you mean Puppets
no there was a distinct o sound when he said it. like poppy seed or something
I googled hoodoo poppets and found some links, maybe that'll help.
Honest question. If I were to get a boognish tattoo would it have a serious chance of having an adverse affect on me?
Though he was only seen in a drug fueld haze of a couple band members from Ween he is technically supposed to be demonic. Any thoughts?
>Pic related
>>18626039
unless you're schizophrenic or just generally paranoid (or plan to do phychedelics), you'll be fine
If youre gonna get a band tatt ween is the way to go
Did someone say Bogdanoff?? Can I get a quick rundown??

never been a spiritual person, and it never happened again, but I remember that night more vividly than all of yesterday
tell me I'm not alone
bumping for potential
Didn't have an experience that bad but it was definitely something I couldn't just pass off as my eyes playing tricks on me or something.
>be me
>be 14 years old
>getting late at night. Around midnight or so, still pretty early for me since its summer and I normally stay up until 4-6 am
>need to piss

>start walking to my room and glance over into the living room through the door
>lights out, but see a 6+ foot tall shadowy figure walking from the direction of the front door towards the back of the living room
>this thing wasn't a shadow pressed on the wall, it was 3d, walking through the middle of the room
>shitting bricks because I think someone broke in or something, this thing was too tall to be anybody in my family.
>wait a minute to try to gather my courage to go inside the living room all while staring at the door
>get my courage together, and head into the living room, flicking on the light
>fuckingnothing.png
>check every possible hiding spot, windows are still locked from the inside, no person could've been there
>quietly leave the room and go go bed, figured whatever it was probably wants to be left alone
Hardly as dramatic but its one of the few experiences I've had where I can't explain what happened
>>18633675
so you only saw it for a few seconds?
I've noticed that mainly younger people and people with major life events see them
Was there anything going on with you or your family during the time of your experience?
Why are you not happy?
>>18632559
Can u do some magic to speed up things I'm expecting irl
It would make me really happy
>>18632559
Cause I hate everyone and everything
well thanks for reminding that I am not you fucking double nigger
Let's talk about post modern philosophy.
Is language a virus form outer space?
Sign up now to become a professional protester.
It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.
There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind
The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite
A menace to society, a social disease
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word that you might be saying

I deeply enjoy post-modern philosophy.
what books would people recommend?
>>18632312
How post modern do you want it?
I have from habbermas to the sychotics ramblings of a street hobo.
Personally I like my post modernism from obscure pop culture, it tends to be more intelectually honest.

First
anyone down to trade?
I want a general on what's best for me to do right now in life.
As a main focus or even just for the rest of the day.
I'm not sure where to direct my time these days when I get it.
My lonely ass keeping tabs on this thread so I can pounce on the first reader that shows up, biiiiiiiitttttcccchhhhhhhh
So what is it? Natural phenomena or alien megastructure?
I think Isaac Arthur made a pretty good video on that. tl;dr: it's not impossible it's an alien megastructure, but due to what we know of the star and it's vicinity it's pretty unlikely that it is a work of an intelligence, at least not directly.
>>18631487
I sort of don't want it to be an alien megastructure, but then again I do.
