Title: How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 12, 2008, 10:14:23 PM
So, um...I really dont know how to say it. I think I've seen death. Literally. SEEN death. Can anyone here help me out without simply telling me to see a shrink? Seriously.  
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 12, 2008, 10:15:21 PM
You mean, you've seen someone die?
Or you think you saw... The reaper.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: darkphantomime on July 12, 2008, 10:24:22 PM
Give us more detail. Where/when/how did you see him? What'd he look like? Did he say anything?
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Keaton on July 12, 2008, 10:32:48 PM
In all seriousness, who died?

Really, this is a serious matter.  If I knew more about the matter, I could console you, man.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Axel on July 13, 2008, 07:22:15 AM
I'm really confused... Do you mean like you seen the future of someone dieing, or did you actually witness it??? :o

As in...seeing someone die in the past, present, or future?
Or seen a dead person? did he say anything? (or her)
Or seen some person in a glimps (Sp?) but then went to look that person was gone?

When/where?

and also...what was happening at the time?

Sorry, so many questions. lol

but don't freak out yet.  k?

Maybe he's seeing a real shrink.

Post by: MagmarFire on July 14, 2008, 10:03:26 PM
I find that somewhat unlikely when, in his post, he considered it an option he didn't want to take.

If his mind were to change, though, then that would be another matter.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 14, 2008, 10:07:08 PM
We could just stop posting and wait for him to return.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 14, 2008, 10:09:49 PM

Post by: Takun on July 16, 2008, 04:21:13 PM
Sorry that I have not been on to clarify. I've been away for awhile. I mean the Reaper. Or some form of him. Its hard to explain. I was just sitting on the curb near this lake when this dude started walking by. The only reason he caught my eye in the first place was his outfit. He was wearing a very old suit and had a top hat. He had no hair, that I could see at least, and carried a briefcase. Now normally I would take a look and then just look away, but two things made me keep looking.
1) His suitcase had DEATH written on it.
2) He had no face.

It was scary beyond belief. I ran back home so fast I though I broke the time barrier.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: darkphantomime on July 16, 2008, 04:28:39 PM
Wait... he had no face? As in, his facial features were nonexistant? No eyes, no mouth, no nose?

I would've tried talking to him instead of running away in terror.

Maybe the guy was just in a special costume.

1. I would have done the same thing JQ. The supernatural don't frighten me anymore, but rather they fascinate me to end. They're elusive enough, so as soon as my friends say they saw something, I check it out.

2. Hmmm... There's a spirit in my Grandma and Grandpa's house that used to disguise herself as my grandma. The only way we could tell the difference is that she didn't have a face IE exactly what JQ said.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 16, 2008, 05:38:39 PM
It was more like his features were blurred. It's hard to explain. But its like he's stalking me. I've seen him several times near the lake, and my house.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 16, 2008, 05:39:52 PM
Thats creepy! You should contact authorities and tell them to keep a watch on your house for suspicious people. This is starting to sound like a Steven King plot.
???
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 16, 2008, 05:40:51 PM
Haha. I think the authorities would come for me if I told them that a faceless creature was stalking me.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 16, 2008, 05:44:49 PM
Well, you don't exactly have to tell them that. Simply tell them you're seeing someone suspicious around your property. Are you on any meds? I have friends and family who've seen crazy stuff being on certain meds.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 16, 2008, 05:48:21 PM
No. I dont even take medicine for headaches or the flu.

I dont know what to do honestly. I've checked out paranormal websites but it's mostly people claiming they were anally probed by aliens or married Bigfoot. I guess I finally have joined the ranks of the insane.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: MagmarFire on July 16, 2008, 06:45:53 PM

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: darkphantomime on July 16, 2008, 07:05:19 PM
Well, at least you have no way of proving that he's not real.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 16, 2008, 08:15:24 PM
Reminiscent of Mr. King, indeed...

While it may be scary I think it best to attempt and conquer your fear. I mean sure, I woulda been scared to death to, but... face up to it.

If all else fails, throw holy water at it.  :P

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: HylianHero92 on July 17, 2008, 11:43:51 AM
Thats... creepy. Maybe you should confront this guy next time you see him, he could just be a stalker in a costume. I know it's easier said than done but if you build up your courage you should talk to him. Maybe you should post here every hour or so just so we know your okay. Not that anything could happen to you but still, stalkers can get violent. That is to say he's not Death, which would be a major disadvantage in your case.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 17, 2008, 12:29:43 PM
Thats what I do when I find something suspicious. I grab a knife, hide it under whatever I'm wearing, and confront whatever or whoever it is. Courage- my strong point. Thinking- ... eh.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 17, 2008, 01:28:57 PM
You may not need weaponry. We're just assuming he's violent. What if he just has a very important message to give you?

Why not try listening first?
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: darkphantomime on July 17, 2008, 01:52:23 PM
He could be a harmless homeless guy that happens to be a part of a death-worshiping cult.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 17, 2008, 02:05:09 PM
I was talking to my friend earlier, and we got on the subject of the supernatural. I told her what you saw, and she flipped out. Apparently a friend of hers saw the EXACT SAME THING. :-[
Down to the top-hat and no face!! I can't believe it. This could be a sign... Oh and something insane happened to me just about a half hour ago, but I'll make another topic.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 17, 2008, 02:56:56 PM
Creepy. Maybe I'll talk to it. I'll bring some food just in case its a homeless man.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 06:01:03 PM
I think talking is a good and a bad idea.

It's good because it may be nothing.

But the bad thing could be, he could kill you while right in the middle of talking.

Can you bring a camera, too? See if he appears on the screen or take a picture and see what happens?

MK! GIVE ME SOME HOLY WATER!!! NOW!!!!  :P
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Carpet Merchant on July 17, 2008, 06:09:02 PM
Huh. Wonder what's in the case....

Anyway, if it's not your time, I don't think the reaper would just murder you. From what I can tell, he's an agent of God with the task of escorting souls to the next world. I'll check a few things, but in most stories I think death is pretty benign.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 06:19:38 PM
The Grim Reaper would be dressed much more angelic if he was an agent of God.  >:(
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Carpet Merchant on July 17, 2008, 06:21:23 PM
Yeah, but this one dosen't sound like the traditional reaper. I was thinking more of the angel of death.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: HylianHero92 on July 17, 2008, 06:22:25 PM

Exactly. Who knows?
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 06:24:21 PM
The Grim Reaper would change it's appearance if he wanted to.

He might want to change his fashion sense every once in a while.

But, no, seriously.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Keaton on July 17, 2008, 06:25:47 PM
I read this really creepy story in... I believe it was World of Darkness?  It was a recounting of a seaman (lolololol) and how he and the other crewmen would see and hear the spirit of Death walking around the ship-- they described him as a wizened old man with a plantation owner-style beard and mustache in a pure white suit with a pure white suitcase.  He was very kind and tactful, and couldn't understand why everyone was so frightened of him.

The entire time I was reading it, all I could think was that Death was Colonel Sanders.

I just pooed myself.

Anyway, I went down to the lake recently and there was a funeral going on down there. Maybe I just happened to see him while he was out on business.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 07:46:59 PM

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 17, 2008, 07:49:07 PM
Thats what I mean. I saw what I believed to be Death a day or two before the funeral. So maybe he was just sticking with the recently deceased until the funeral.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 07:53:35 PM

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 17, 2008, 07:57:48 PM
I did not talk to him. And who knows why the face is like that. I'm drawing a picture too. Im going to put it up on Photobucket and post the link here.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 07:59:27 PM

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 17, 2008, 08:01:31 PM
It was weird...it was like he was walking but he wasn't. And I wanna say he was gliding, but his feet were on the ground.
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: TP Zelda on July 17, 2008, 08:03:54 PM
Just what I thought...I'm guessing no black mist following him around?

What would be cool is if there was a little coldness coming from him, and if he moved like, really smoothly and slowly. and if the gliding sounded like a chill breeze blowing through pine trees  :P
Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Takun on July 17, 2008, 10:44:00 PM
Just the description sounds cool. And yeah, he moved smoothly, and fast, but slow at the same time.

Post by: Takun on July 18, 2008, 09:47:13 AM

Title: Re:How do I put this...?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 18, 2008, 10:03:05 AM
Thats pretty freaky. Cool description though! If you do see it again, don't touch him in any way!! Its common knowledge that if you touch the reaper, you die.

Yeah, true.

But I don't see why he would start hallucinating days before the funeral and then stop after.

Anxiety?  Depression?  Panic?  Something in the water or the air?

There are oh so many explanations.

Just suddenly after a funeral?

No, I don't think so.

Funerals give a sense of closure, a sense of finality.

That might be enough to knock hallucinogenic tendencies out of someone if they were psychological.

the human mind is a funny thing-one moment, you can be fine, and the other, you can be going into a crazy fit about how messed up your life is.

especially in your early teen years, when the hormones get at you.

that said, nothing's impossible.

1) I dont even know what anxiety is
2) I've lived near this lake my entire life.
3) I dont really have an explanation for Depression. I wont say I dont get depressed on occasion.

By the way, Riku, it is possible to hallucinate the same thing over the course of several days. Trust me on this.

However, I'm not saying that this is hallucination. Bring a camera/cell phone with a camera with you wherever you go. See if he shows up on film or not.

Somehow, I doubt it would show up using any form of technology. But it's worth a shot. Go for it and post when you get results.

You know, I just thought of something.

Maybe it's the guy who the funeral was for? maybe he died brutally on a business trip or something and energy was left behind.

Case in point, if I don't take my meds every day, I see and hear people that aren't there, and I also lose the cognitive ability to distinguish between which ones are real and which aren't.  It was a hassle in the military, and they wouldn't let me stay for as long as I did except for the fact that I'm a total deadeye.

So your schizophrenic? My grandmother worked with schizophrenic men and women when she was still a phychiatrist. How long where you in the military for?

Long enough to complete a tour and accrue a decent rank and clearance.

Good man. I've always been interested in the Marines myself, I've considered it for the future once or twice.
For a long time I actually had issues distinguishing reality and, as embarrassing as it is, video games and movies.

I kinda know how you feel. I sometimes have to remind myself that screwing up will not lead to a "Game Over" screen and giving you a second chance.

Thats not what I mean. I would literally panic because I didn't know if I was in the real world.

That sounds pretty scary to live with, actually.... I'm glad you don't feel like that anymore.

Yeah it was really weird. I would begin to question weather or not my parents were even real.
