Wait, these things aren't hard-wired into the main power line? They have an internal battery? I need to go see if I can silence this damn beep once and for all after I've figured out the beeping sequence.

I think that depends on the type you have. I've only seen the kind that run on batteries, though.

Everything is.... normal in Cali. And honestly I'm wondering if you all are RPing or this is some sort of prank.

@Ghostelder: Dude, this is serious business.

@Everyone:........Took out the batteries. The thing is still beeping.

Fuck.

Beeps were beeping in slow morse code.

Double fuck.

"I will make sure you won't forget this time"

Oh you've got to be shitting me.

...seriously, you guys? Come on. What you're seeing isn't anything more than your minds running away from you.

Think about it this way. Your mind feeds you info. It also interprets it /for/ you, like a translator program. And occasionally it fraks up, like when you try to betaread your own work and miss a typo or two. Because you knew what you meant, your mind doesn't show you the mistake unless you override this by looking really closely, and being careful. It's the same reason stuff like the Bloody Mary ritual works: if given enough wiggle room, your mind can interpret sensory information into the most terrifying thing you can imagine.

So what happened here is no different: your imaginations have run away from you. Here you all are, posting about ordinary things that your minds have twisted into a big web of conspiring bad spirits. The only outstanding thing is the Notepad document. How do we know Shibosho isn't just doing this for shits and giggles-- I mean, we're all trolls here sometimes. No problems with admitting it. It really ramped up the drama, ne?

Also, a note on the smoke detector: They come with a power sensor that tells them when the battery is low/dead. When this happens, they begin to beep. Slowly. It's not hard for a human being to interpret a slow rhythm into a more complex beat, not at all. Try it with something like a grandfather clock when you have a song stuck in your head.

Honestly, the whole lot of you... no wonder our armed forces are screwy...

I would like to point out my eyesight in that eye is now 20/10 instead of 20/55.

tl; dr, but as I see it the gist of it is that you're all gullible fools.

I agree.

Man up, you fags. Everyone sees something in the dark once in a while.

Also: lol at the trolls acting like they just discovered some secret conspiracy. gj, except not. Your standard of effort is too low. First you lead them on, *then* you troll them into thinking they're actually roped into some sort of mysterious revelation.

*flips your wisps the bird*

Thank you, Ray. I mean, honestly... it's fine to have a big imagination so long as you don't let it run away from you. Hey, I've got an idea: since we're both skeptics, let's see what they think would summon up these "phenomena" and then test it out ourselves. I'll take the black figure; you take the wisps.

For those who think I'm going crazy, please adjust your set.

Either go outside, or turn on the news. Now.

Nothing on the news. Only thing of vague interest: some dude stripped naked and danced around the center of town, yelling something about wraiths.

In the spirit of Halibel's proposition, I figured that most people keep talking about seeing these wisps out at night, in the streets. So I went to take a walk tonight. What's the worst that could have happened, after all? At best, I'd get some extra exercise, at worst I'd end up in a bad part of town and wake up tied to a bed tomorrow, with hookers demanding money from me at knifepoint. Nothing too strange for this town.

Ended up being the former. I walked around the park, enjoyed the fresh (if thoroughly contaminated) city air, bought a soda. Nothing much.

I'll admit to one thing. Heading back, I did happen upon a guy walking down the streets muttering something about angels and some blinking lights under a bridge. By the look of him (and the bottle of cheap rum he was carrying around), though, he was extremely drunk.

So yeah. Nothing to change my mind. I maintain that you're all just overreacting to a forced meme on the internet.

See there, nothing to be afraid of. I have to say I'm experiencing the same thing, Ray, nearly nothing and one minor disturbance. I've watched every bit of anime I own, even sat down to an NCIS marathon for the sake of it. Nothing. And no strange rhythms making themselves known in anything.

The only thing I did find weird was a dream, bu it doesn't relate to anything experienced here. I had a ramune bottle on my bedside table and kept dreaming that I was waking up, facing away from it, hearing it pick up, swirl the marble around and set down. The sounds came through really clear. But then again, not only does it not bear a connection, it's probably just a side effect of, well, drinking ramune before bed....

Okay, Blue balls. Why not? One eye can see them and the other can't. Fine.
 
#65
Careful if anyone asks you what eye you see them in. They'll burn it out with a flaming shillelagh!

@Halibel: Of course it's not gonna show up in your anime! The black figure is obviously from my past or something since it's been asking if I remembered it!

Today, the black figure appeared in my window reflection. You know how at night when you face a glass door that leads outside and you're in a lit room and you see a black reflection of yourself in the glass?

I was walking around my room trying to think of what to draw when I glanced at the glass door. The black figure showed up in the glass reflection. It popped its head over my shoulder in the reflection and when I turned there was no one there. When I went back to the reflection, the black figure was gone. Strangely enough I feel that the figure isn't hostile or anything. I don't know what's up with it but I'm gonna find out.

Also........What the fuck?

Zalgo font ceased to be original sometime ago.

Also, if you're going to troll with it, at least hide a readable message in there instead of illegible gibberish.

*shrug* Alright. But I'm not even seeing anything "spooky" on the news. Those winds are supposed to hit me up in Silverton tomorrow, they'll probably be just as general and normal as they looked on camera. You bunch of pussies...

Or he's just incompetent at processing words in anything resembling the English language.

Also, blue balls what again? Because even assuming you're vaguely serious and not trolling (bwahahahaha), you should possibly offer additional explanation to bolster your credibility.

Or at least find another way to call them. I read "blue balls" and my mind skips to the logical conclusion as opposed to thinking "energy wisps".
