Angel Encounters: Why Not Everyone Experiences the Supernatural
(Video below)
(Maybe God Podcast channel)
This short video has little or nothing to do with angelic experiences, and is more about why some people may have paranormal experiences, while others do not.
I will add my own thoughts. How do we know what is "supernatural" or "paranormal," and what is not? Does it always have to mean something dark or scary? Does it always have to be something that is blatantly obvious or dramatic? Can it mean that people who have paranormal experiences are simply more aware of what's happening around us all of the time? Does being aware make someone any more special?
I present these questions, because I experience what others would consider "supernatural" or "paranormal" interactions on a daily basis, but I do not consider myself any more special than any other person. And no, the experiences I have on a daily basis are NOT of a scary or sinister nature at all. Quite the opposite. They're simply a part of daily life for me. But I don't speak openly about them, except to a very small circle of friends who understand, and have similar experiences.
IMO, the so-called "supernatural" / "paranormal" are simply spectrums of reality that most people are not aware of. Our physical senses can only detect certain frequencies of existence. It's like radio or TV stations; other frequencies / channels co-exist alongside of this frequency / channel, and some people are able to tune into other frequencies to varying degrees. And sometimes beings in other frequencies cross over, or bleed through, into this frequency, and vice versa. It doesn't mean that everything beyond this specific spectrum is "scary." But people in general fear what they don't understand, even if there is nothing to fear.
Of course, there are indeed dark and evil aspects of the paranormal. All I will say is that whatever you primarily focus on is how your thoughts / energy vibrate. Dark and negative thoughts and beliefs vibrate at a much slower rate than light and uplifting thoughts and beliefs, which vibrate at a much higher frequency. Love vibrates at a much higher and lighter frequency; fear vibrates at a much lower and heavier frequency. Spending time around people who are more genuinely positive leaves you feeling energized and uplifted; spending time with "gloom and doom" types can leave you feeling drained and brought down. You receive that which resonates with what you put out.
Anyway, those are some of my personal observations, based on a lifetime of experiences. Accept some of it or none of it, it's all good.

4 Angels Visit Sick Patient
(Video below)
I kind of debated with myself on whether or not I should post this, but obviously the daughter already posted it on YouTube. I don't see anything wrong with it; there is no violation of privacy. IMO, it is a beautiful experience. Yes, I do believe that her mother was seeing angels.
This type of phenomena is very commonly seen by hospice workers and just regular at-home caregivers, like I was for my mom. My mom didn't report seeing any angels, but she was carrying on a conversation with her older brother (my uncle), who had passed away a year or two earlier. This happened around a couple of months before my mom passed. Of course, I couldn't see him, even though I have had spirit and angelic experiences of my own.
There are people who claim that there's no such things as angels, spirits, etc. That it's only visual hallucinations created by a lack of oxygen to the brain, etc., and that those who believe need to grow up. Of course, people are free to choose to believe or disbelieve in whatever they want. It is not the purpose of this thread to 'convince' anyone to change their minds about anything. However, stating that non-physical beings do not exist is, in itself, only a belief; a belief which carries no more weight than the opposing view. In fact, because I know from personal experiences, I can say with certainty that the opinions of those who say that spirits and angels do not exist carry far less weight.
I've personally seen people (including some religious types) who stated with arrogant authority that spirits and other such beings do not exist, who then became almost hysterical when something paranormal happened to them that they clearly couldn't explain, and/or they go into complete denial about it and bottle it up.
As I've stated in other posts, a healthy degree of skepticism is a good thing. However, it needs to be tempered with an equally healthy dose of open-mindedness. A closed mind is a contracted mind; it has no room for growth and expansion.

Re: Unusual, and/or Paranormal Events
Cryptid Wars!
(Paranormal Round Table channel)
I had seen these guys' channel before while scrolling on YouTube, but I hadn't listened to any of their videos. Or maybe I had in the past and simply hadn't remembered. I listened to a couple of their videos this morning, and realized that I've been missing out. These guys have some REALLY good content. It is NOT creepy pasta fiction; these guys are actual researchers, like all of the best paranormal/cryptid channels on YouTube. But some of the accounts they cover are highly unusual.
The thumbnail art for this video makes it look like a creepy pasta video of fictitious stories, but it's not. Or at least it's not intended as such. The thumbnail art belies the quality of the accounts. I had seen the thumbnail for this very video a couple days ago, but had dismissed it as some creepy pasta channel, until I listened to another of the Paranormal Round Table videos, and realized these are actual researchers.
If you have any fascination with cryptids (unknown creatures), have you ever wondered what would happen if one type of cryptid (say, a Dogman) encountered another type of cryptid (say, a reptilian humanoid)? Or if a Bigfoot encountered a bizarre, Crawler type of creature? How about if a Bigfoot were attacked by some bizarre form of black, shape-shifting, "goo" entity? Or perhaps if a Dogman/werewolf creature were trying to fight off some phantasmic, black panther-like entity? Then look no further; this video contains those very accounts.
Are these accounts true? I don't know. I won't say that I fully believe nor disbelieve. But the stories are fascinating, nevertheless. And the guys who run this channel seem to be very no-nonsense. They are willing to take accounts that many other cryptid researchers would not touch, because they fall outside of the "acceptable" parameters of what orthodox cryptid researchers accept as possible. But make no mistake, paranormal and cryptid research, even by people who have actually had experiences, is a 100% theory-based field. Some are more knowledgeable than others, but there are no experts. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, knows everything there is to know about these things.
If cryptid creatures do exist (and I believe they do), and if there are multiple types of cryptids (and I believe there are), and if their territories sometimes intersect (which seems to be the case by many accounts), then it only stands to reason that it's possible, and even probable, that different types of cryptid creatures would encounter each other in the wilderness.
If nothing else, these accounts are highly entertaining. If any of them are true, then they would be among the rarest of all types of paranormal/cryptid encounters.
Note: The sharing of the accounts begins roughly from around 7:50:

Re: Unusual, and/or Paranormal Events
UFOs Over London BBC Radio 1 Building
(XmorphmanX channel)
I'm going to admit right off the bat that I'm not sure about the authenticity of this video. The UFOs themselves do look very similar to some other, legitimately unexplainable footage taken of UFOs.
So why do I have some doubts? Because from the time the video begins, the camera person is hurrying down the street and takes nearly 20 seconds before he even points his camera up at the sky, even after he is in position. Until then, he/she is focusing on anything and everything BUT the sky. It gives the impression that he wasn't in any hurry to point the camera skyward. Was he trying to get the camera in focus? Why would he need to film the people at that intersection if there are UFOs up in the sky, and chance missing them?
Some background I heard about this video: Supposedly, the person who filmed this had been seeing UFOs over the BBC Radio 1 building for a week before he was finally able to capture this footage. So why spend nearly 20 seconds from when the video starts pointing the camera at the street and everyone EXCEPT FOR the sky, where the other people are already looking? Was it to give perspective? If so, why not wait until you've caught the UFOs on camera first, then film the other things for perspective afterwards? Of course, I also understand that people can and often do weird and illogical things while in the moment.
I'm posting this in this thread on the chance that the footage is genuine. Of course, there are many videos I've posted here purporting to show genuine paranormal evidence. I'm being particularly clear about being undecided on this footage because of the "red flags" I just mentioned, which may or may not actually be red flags. The UFO footage is of exceptional quality, IF the footage is genuine.

Horrifying Deep Sea Humanoids

Do I believe that such beings exist? I actually do. There have been too many accounts, from different cultures all over the world, that report such beings, often with similar descriptions, that predate the modern era.
I once read a saying that I live by: "Not only is this world different than we think it is, it's WAAAAY different."

This reminds me of a book I read, Into the Drowning Deep, by Mira Grant. It was pretty good and I think you would enjoy it.

Thanks, Richard! Although I'm not buying any more books for the foreseeable future, I'm adding that title onto my list of titles I might buy at some point in the future.

The Haunted Tower (Parts 1 & 2)
(Paranormal Round Table channel)
This is host Josh Turner's recountings of his own (literally) nightmarish personal experiences working security at a seriously messed-up office building back in the 1990s. According to Josh, not only that building, but the businesses on the entire block it was on were also haunted. Which leads me to believe there was something wrong with the land itself. And/or someone has performed dark rituals in that building that have opened up "doorways."
The paranormal encounters really ramped up, and became far more extreme, in Part 2.
