Admittedly I've only been on the sub about 8 months, but I'm noticing way more posts about people buying hermit crabs. Is this actually happening, or is my algorithm just acting up?
Last night I responded to a question about real-life paranormal activity about a situation that happened when I was 17. It was things like being shoved, stuff going missing (someone found our car keys seven years later in the back cupboard of their house when the keys had gone missing from bringing one round of groceries in and the next round), things moving, scratching on the walls, voices, cigar smoke in the middle of the room, a porcelain doll event, and a general sense of dread.
The thing is, it started with me. In my bedroom. People made fun of me. My FAMILY made fun of me, until the activity slowly trickled out to affect them as well. Being a Very Religious Family, we chalked it up to demonic spirits, had the house blessed, and it calmed down. Until we moved into our new house. And wouldn't ya know, it started up again with me and only me.
Again, poltergeist-y activity that gradually became more and more sinister FEELING, not necessarily because of things happening but also that too haha. (One thing I remember happening with some frequency is my door being opened at night then shut, followed by heavy footsteps walking across the room, stopping where my bed was, then continuing out the second story window).
I don't know where I read it, but some years ago I read about a theory that poltergeist type activity may be connected to girls/young women coming into their own power, usually around puberty, and unconsciously manifesting that chaotic energy into poltergeist activity. I wonder what you guys might know of this theory and if you think it may apply to what I faced from ages 17-19. It was past puberty, but I was a late bloomer and didn't finish growing until I was 20. My household was also a pretty restrictive environment, and not being believed started way before anything paranormal happened.
My personal theory is that it's possible that's what happened, but that some other energy(ies) latched on.
Thoughts?

We've been getting beaucoup rain lately, and I found this shelf mushroom on a stump in my front yard. I basically want to make sure it's not toxic if my pets nibble on it.
Hello! I recently had to move my crabs from my classroom to my house, and in the process, some of the substrate got knocked over 🤦🏼♀️. I'm realizing that I need about 1-2" more substrate for a 125 gallon tank. I **really** don't want to stress them out by moving them to another tank again so soon, especially as some of them started making their tunnels and hides already.
​
If I made the right amount of additional substrate mix, would it be okay to gently add it on top of the existing substrate without taking the crabs back out? I would avoid the areas where I see holes leading down. And if so, would buying a pre-mixed substrate be fine? Any advice or product ideas would be welcome.
