It's true. True enough that i won't repeat it, true enough that since writing it i've had goose pimples crawling all over my body. I've not felt them like this since it happened, not even when i think about it.
It's a good job it wasn't that huge white dog, because he knows b****r all about bushcraft...
It's true, all right. Had to sell my soul to some chap named "Mephistopheles" to get out of that bushcrafting fix. Now the dog follows me everywhere I go. The bill doesn't come due until I attain the zenith of human happiness, and in the meantime I've been granted lustful and destructive relationships with innocent and nubile women like Toddy, and brilliance as a poster on BushcraftUK. (You've undoubtedly noticed.) There was some fine print in the contract, too, but I haven't gotten around to reading it all yet.
I tried to sell my soul to that guy but he said it wasn't in mint condition and started haggling with me. That's the coolest dog I've seen in a long time, easily worth a soul, who really uses them anyway?
I LOVE science, I practically invented loving science but it still has a lot to explain. You're dead right about psychics though, they are all in dire need of a backhand.
Louis,
you saw a rock troll mate,my friends granny used to talk about them , from when she was a little girl in the highlands(somewhere near Fort William I think she came from). She used to tell me & Rob lots of scary stories when we were small about where she lived , pity is she's passed on now & all the tales have went with her more's the pity, but it does sound like her rock troll story.

Me and mate were in a wandering over fields one night (i wont say what we were doing) but it was about 2.00am and we were well away from any houses or roads or anything. It was dark but you could see where the hedge and sky line met, sky being more of a dark blue to the hedges black. we knew these fields quite well, knew where the gateways were and such so even tho we couldnt see much, we knew where we was going.
as we wer walking up one field edge, i could see a big square shape up ahead, about the size of a lorry, couldnt see it but could see the silhouette as it was higher than the hedge. knowing these fields and never seeing anything there before, i pointed it out to my mate and we started walking towards it, just nosey as to what it was.
I cant say how close we got to it, maybe 100yrds when all of a sudden, this lorry sized black silhouette (that we thought was a building) took off across the field, at christ knows what speed but easily as fast plane, but made no sound, no lights, was just a huge black squarish silhouette against a dark blue sky. plus there was no acceleration, one second it was still the next it was barrelling along the near horizon and within seconds gone and out of site.
whether it came back or not, who knows cos we ran away like ive never run since
spookiest thing i ever saw

Mmm...have you noticed that you don't get so many trolls under bridges nowadays? Wonder if it's because of the goats.
Not so many sharks in my custard either.
Shakespear had it right -
"There are more thing in heaven and erth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy"
(or words to that effect!)
The more one learns, the more you realise how little you know - you know!
It is strange how "hard facts" mutate with age (Copernicus and Gallilao found this out!) yet evidence for "wierd happenings" is timeless and repeats often....

True, but that is no evidence of their existence. But it is evidence of humanity's need to attach a deeper meaning, spirituality and symbolism to our world. Nothing else can explain the continuation of religious belief.
In my book "religion" is about power being accumulated by the manipulative to stamp on the faces of the ignorant..."Spirituality" is about the understanding of the higher life.
I am afraid we are using different lexicons here....
Quantum physics says that things can be in 2 places at once - or even outside the known universe - this postulates a second universe that came be crossed over to.
Who says that things from that universe cannot cross into this one?
Is there only 1 "other" universe?
Can anyone form a personal understanding of their existance except from their own experience (if you have not experienced something yourself does that mean others have not either)?
Is it, or is it not, scary to realise that we are incredibly ignorant of our environment and to declare that the things we do not comprehend do not exist is much more comforting, than to agree that - yup we dont know much about existance?
I will not knock anyones truely held beliefs - be they "religious", "scientific" or whatever but I will stick with my understandings and continue my study of my environment, hoping for more understanding to come, rather than put my head in the sand and say "my church leaders/scientists/guru/Daily Mail, say that this is true - therefor I have no need to think any other way"
Wierd happenings happen all the time and until they are understood they remain wierd...be it making new life in labs (scientifically proven - then disproved...) or things that go bump in the night!

Thanks John,
I spent a lot of time in my youth convincing myself that there couldn't possibly be anything weird or scary out there in the woods and I've had to update that reminder whenever I'm out on my own over night.
Now you've come along with a perfectly reasonable arguement for the existence of aformentioned weird and scary stuff and my imagination is running riot....

Quantum physisists theorize there are 11 different dimensions to our world/galaxy with 4 that they 'know' about.

Great post John :You_Rock_
Though in quantumn physics, a particle doesnt have to be in two places at once, it can be all places at once. It is more to do with our poor understanding of how time works than anything. Time as a rigid backdrop flowing in one direction is how the general populace view it, yet it is entirely false. All time, and all moments exist ALL at once, it is only our conscious perception that seperates it into a sequence.
Yep - thats what I understand - time is a construct of the physical, a "perception" not a "reality"....
