I put my motorbike helmet on at the office and rode 10 mins to the gym. As I was arriving I felt a bite or something to my head. I thought it was maybe a bee or something. This is what I found when I took my helmet off.

My first thought was that maybe it was psychosis as there’s no way in the universe that a giant centipede was in my helmet in central Seoul.

Turns out it was very real.

Update: I’m glad everyone is enjoying my trauma 😂.

I picked up this little friend near to Naebang Station and rode to Bangbae when I felt the bite- I’m really glad I found him there and not when I was going over Banpo bridge on the way home or I’d probably be dead 😂.

I kicked him out of my helmet after 20 mins and he started charging at an old lady and her fruit stall- she started screaming at me as if he was my centipede that had escaped, I stamped on him to protect her stall and she screamed at me even more 🤷‍♂️.

The bite hurt for quite a few days and tbh it still tingles a bit now and again (it happened a couple of weeks ago). I found out we actually know very little about centipede bites and venom as they are so rare, so let’s see if I become the star of a new Kafka novel.

in most of the encounter stories I've read bout in this sub or other NHI subs people seem to meet these mantis beings when using DMT or shrooms or some other psychedelics. so I wanted to know if anyone here saw these guys in other circumstances. So far I've found one story where the person met these guys using the Gateway Tapes.
