So this is the first 'official' post for this particular blog of mine.
This crazy little chunk of cyberspace is to be dedicated to my own paranormal experiences and/or hallucinations (No drugs or drinking here... but there's plenty of insanity due to my mother's contribution to my genetics).
I never really had any of these experiences as a child. If I did, It's mostly been blocked out. Though there was a point in time where I refused to go into my room because there was a giant spider in front of my closet.
The problem with this 'spider'?
Well, for one, It was about as big as I was.
And for another, it "wasn't really there" according to my parents, and indeed, as soon as the lights in the room went on, the vision of the giant creature vanished... until the lights went out again.
It was a long evening for everyone.
Nothing else out of the ordinary happened until I was in my teens.
It was a church group for young teenage girls. I was never one for religious events. Even back then.
It was a fireside night (literally by the campfire), we were all huddled, tired, freezing, and supposed to be 'feeling the spirit'.
I was waiting for them to give up on EVERYONE bearing their testimony, just wanting my sleeping bag.
Of course, I was also the only one NOT sobbing at the oh-so-touching promenade.
So somehow, I was the only one who noticed what was going on above the mountainscape across the lake from us.
It was starting to get cloudy out (we would later that night be roused out of our tents by a very sudden storm), but everything was calm.
The only sounds around were the sniffles of the other girls and the popping of the campfire.
I was bored to death and watching the scenery so I wouldn't have to meet expectant gazes from the leaders.
Suddenly, a bright green light dropped down out of nowhere over the mountain top directly across from us.
It zipped back and forth silently and smoothly, then after a second that seemed to last forever, zipped off and disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared in the first place.
The rest of the night I spent trying to reason with myself about what I saw. Maybe a firework? Well.. no... none would move around like that above a mountain top for that long.
Ball lightning? ...perhaps... I wasn't exactly familiar with the nature of such an oddity.
Aliens?? This idea I just didn't try to think about. I was miles away from home with oblivious religious strangers.
To this day, I'm not sure what it was that I witnessed all alone. And I've never really heard of Bear Lake being a hotspot for alien sightings... but then, there's rumors of a lake monster in it... so why not aliens or something along those lines?
