Anting-anting, also known as agimat, are traditional Filipino amulets or charms believed to provide supernatural protection, healing, and strength to the bearer. Deeply rooted in indigenous belief systems and later blended with Catholic iconography, these items—often medallions, stones, or, according to Trese Wiki, Tikbalang body parts—are empowered through prayers, rituals, and, as stated in the StuartXchange page, often on Good Friday.

Key Aspects of Anting-Anting:
Purpose: Used for invincibility (kabal), protection from evil (usog), and good fortune.

Origin: Pre-colonial Filipino belief system that evolved after Spanish colonization to incorporate Catholic symbols.

Usage: Often worn as necklaces, carried in pockets, or used in, as mentioned on this Reddit post, Filipino martial arts (Eskrima) to enhance skills.

They are sometimes referred to as bertud (virtue) or galing (prowess)

I believe it.

I personally always wear a Shungite pendant. It has nothing to do with martial arts skills, but it supposedly provides protections against EMFs, and negative energies. The only times I take it off are when showering, and occasionally when doing especially dirty yard work, although I don’t really need to take it off for that. The Shungite piece on my pendant was sourced directly from Russia.

There are many other amulets, crystals, etc., that provide protections, etc. I’m not a crystal or stone collector myself. Some of my friends are; one even works in a crystal shop, and is very cognizant that some crystals are not what they are claimed to be, and she can generally spot real from fakes. Once while on a Zoom call with her, she was talking about and showing me some of her own crystals, and at one point I saw an extremely bright orb of light near the side of her head, coming down towards her hand, before it vanished. She was looking down at her crystals, so she hadn’t seen it. About 5 or 10 minutes later it reappeared, and I told her to look at her screen, and this time she saw it, but only on her screen, not next to her where it appeared. It was the same orb, only a little less bright. It was not a reflection, or the sunlight (she was in a closed room), or a reflection off a crystal or anything else. That was the one Zoom call out of many I’ve had with her where that’s happened, and it only happened when she was talking about a certain crystal or stone.

Certain energies are already present in minerals, crystals, etc. They also require occasional cleaning, to remove stagnant or negative energies that the mineral/crystal has absorbed. I don’t use any water or anything like that. I practice energetic healing, so I simply lay my Shungite pendant down and hold my hand over it without touching it, until I feel it’s done. Sounds weird to most people, but it works for me.

"CERN Lies! A True Story About CERN, A Psychic Who.Met a CERN Scientist! Life-Changing Reality"

(Mark Bajerski channel)

Note: The general subject of CERN begins at approximately 16:15. It does take him awhile to REALLY get to the point, and gets more directly into it sometime after 21:00. Keep in mind he's speaking in the context of being a psychic, so if you're an impatient person, this might not be for you. If you might be interested in what he has to say about it, you might want to watch it ASAP, in case this video ends up getting taken down.

Jim, more about crawlers.
Allegedly American indian tribes and others knew they were real and lived deep in caves.

What would their origin be if real?

I believe that Pale Crawlers are definitely real. Whether they are subterranean and/or interdimensional. Some could possibly be a result of genetic experimentation. There may be several sources for these types of creatures.

"A Paranormal Event I'll Never Forget"

(Eke Acres channel)



I believe that the old fisherman he encountered very well could have been his great-grandfather. He also could have been an angel in disguise. And personally, I don't find it to be spooky at all.

I've also had paranormal experiences my entire life, and only two, or maybe three of those experiences would be considered spooky (to me). And even then, I never really freaked out about them. It's because I've always known deep down that there is more in this world and beyond than the tiny, mundane bit of reality that our limited senses allow us to perceive.
