"in early 1916, Jung (1963) and his family experienced a sequence of uncanny events (i.e., his eldest daughter espied a ghostly visage, his second daughter had her blankets snatched away in the night, and his son was beset by an anxious dream and fitful ravings that left him oblivious of his parasomnia and completely exhausted.
followed the next evening by the frantic ringing of his doorbell with no physically discernible cause.
Jung exclaimed, “The atmosphere was thick, believe me!”

@holon42 and the Jung family never vacationed at skinwalker ranch ever again m.
we can laugh, but why are we laughing?
such strange psychic phenomena do occasionally occur, although that fact makes hay for con artists to spin into their fool's gold.
nonetheless, i've experienced some. most i can rationalize to some extent, but there's one which was also experienced by a well respected internationally philosophy professor who rejected metaphysics.
he was so spooked by it, that he forbade me, yes, flatly refused to discuss it, at all.
i can elaborate.
@holon42 I would love it if you elaborated!
I've had a couple of "odd" encounters myself.
@holon42 @gemswinc @CanisPundit Strange! Thank you for sharing!
you're welcome. that's why i don't doubt Jung's accounts. he and Freud had one together too, after which Freud behaved like my friend, denial it was really anything.
@holon42 I asked him in the moment after "did you see that" and he said something about being on a plane with pilots, and then acted very frightened and said he didn't want to talk about it.
When I asked again later, he said quite seriously that if I ever brought it up again, we were no longer friends and I'd never see him again.
hmmm, fascinating. was anyone else around to notice if you both blacked out, or disappeared into wavy ripples?
people do get freaked by these phenomena, for sure.
were there any after effects? aside from astonishment?
@holon42 I didn't notice anyone on the street before or after. He seemed to think we'd gotten onto some sort of aircraft that had landed nearby. The ripples could have been a visual effect from whatever made me not remember what happened next. I doubt the sky actually rippled. It did look like an interfering wave-form of some sort.
I dunno, maybe someone slipped us some scopolamine. It was weird.
strange indeed, yes. losing 4 hours..
@holon42 It feels a little like I got alien-abducted, and my friend remembered and all I have is a blank spot.
@holon42 I had an experience I think I mentioned on here before. A friend and I were walking a short distance a couple of yards over from one friend's house to his house, in broad daylight on a suburban street. I remember we both looked up, I saw something that looked like movement above.
For a second, it looked like the entire sky rippled, in a weird diamond pattern, then it was darker. We'd lost 4 hours.
He refused to speak of what happened after.
