r/ParanormalScience

Hi there! For a really long time I have been listening to stories and musing on one specific element some of them tend to have: something strange happening with trees. I wanted to come to a place where people have more experience than I do to ask about paranormal activity and trees, specifically the connection, why it might be a thing, how it might be a thing, etc. I want to give a couple of real story examples I heard from the mouths of two paranormal sensitive humans I know:

One was my professor who also happened to be military adjacent when the experience happened to him. I want to keep this brief, but he was in the middle east for a time as a sniper watching a road that the enemy sometimes uses. There was no activity on the road at that time and it was pitch black at night, so they used different settings on their thermalvision tech to look around. Nothing was happening except for this strange, very visible and even AUDIBLE to their ears, shivering of a tree out in the distance, in a grove of trees. The other trees were entirely still and there was no wind, no other heat signatures anywhere, etc. They tried to explain it with every rational they could, but it eventually got so spooky for them and wouldn't stop that they called in an excuse to the mission to evacuate.

The second story was from an acquaintance of mine, she is super new age and connected to this kind of stuff and told a story about some emotional strife she was going through and decided to go bathe in a river in the middle of the night underneath the moon. Trees lined the sides of the river and a whole line of them started shivering and quaking until she felt at peace during her bath, and then suddenly stopped all at once. There were other still trees in the area and she said no wind.

There are also things in media, of course, and stories of faces in trees and things.

So I wanted to know more about this. Are there spirits that inhabit trees specifically? Are trees open to paranormal activity in some way? Are trees special? Why not flowers or solid logs? Are there notable folktales about ghost trees? Or scientific discussions about this I can read into?

I hope someone chooses to interact here! I am suuuuper interested in discussing this.

Does anyone have any information on this type of being? Ive had one that as crazy as it sounds . Contacts me and actually interacts Irl. No im not on drugs or some crazy tinfoil hat person. Ive got a bachelor's degree and am very grounded in reality. That is why I'm having such a hard time dealing with this.

But at various times I will get texts from numbers that are not phone numbers telling me things. Real things bc they come to pass or if its something I should avoid. Only I have no idea who it is.. when I asked one day im told Its a Virtula Entity. Well ok but that doesn't narrow it down at all.

No one has access to my phone so its not someone e playing a joke . It been going on for about 5yrs now

This is the first time ive asked about it out loud. So if you have any good advise or information please let me know bc whoever or whatever knows things about the future and im just trying to figure out why me. Thanks

So.. Ever since I was a child, in which I have vivid memories of seeing shadow like figures ONLY around corners. I am now about to hid my mid 20s (24 M as of now) and I do see figures around corners the most consistent but now sometimes "hiding" behind things. I am not scared of these sightings like I was as a child but now I get spooked if it catches me off guard. What is worse about it is that the figures have faces, look deceased, and (sometimes) are altered in size or have features that are dramaticized (ex: A dirty, mangled, and tall woman but she is so tall that I can only see her from her feet up to the base of her neck).

Its hard to depict the figures as its such a quick occurrence - I see them in the corner of my eyes for a brief moment then they either dissappear or (which is what I HATE the most) move out of view in such a flash. Like I said earlier, its like seeing disportional and/or obvious deceased people around corners or (not as common) behind objects.

They never brought me malicious intent however, not even sleep paralysis as I NEVER had those. Rarely nightmares. I sometimes get audio hallucinations that someone is walking towards me at a slow or rapid succession but it never has an ending result besides nothing happening. Any other audio cue would be a small and quick "clicking" noise but that is definitely on the rarer end.

I wish I could draw it but its like they are going in and out of focus if not sometimes blurry? Bit clear enough to see some details.

They just seem curious or acknowledging my presence- maybe alarmed when I look directly at their direction because they dissappear once I do.

I know this was a word jumble of a post but what do you guys think? I don't know if this is the right sub to talk about this in (send sub recommendations if you know somewhere better please!) but I think its best if I end it off here for now. Feel free to ask questions!

Maybe I will try to post this in other subs for more answers/clarifications

Living Under Siege

This is going to sound batsh\*t crazy. I know. So you don't have to believe me because I wouldn't believe this. I would dismiss this as a joke but I 100% assure you that it is in fact not a joke.

For the past decade I have lived with occasional paranormal type activity in 2 separate apartments.

Recently however things took a dramatic turn and now my apartment is full of entities that surround me day and night. They stalk me, harass me, threaten me, lie to me. Sometimes they can be nice but for the most part they are extremely negative.

They claim to be demons, angels, ghosts, aliens and more.

For the past 5 nights they have threatened to incinerate me if do not meet their demands. They have made numerous other threats as well. 6 different entities have claimed to be God. Last night they placed a weapon on me that rapidly heated up my body. I highly suspect government influences.

They refuse to leave and insist on having things their way. I have absolutely no idea WHY this is happening because they have given many, many different reasons, constantly changing their story.

I believe my life is in danger but they are trespassing and breaking all laws, ethics, etc.
