  1. @Pioneer1 tsk-tsk Let me refresh your mind and summarize somethimg that just transpired a couple of days ago on the "Corporal Possession" post, an exchange you are apparently in denial about, via your selective memory loss reinforced by your phony expressions of doubt as to whether such an exchange actually exists. On the second page of that marathon "Corporal Possession" mish mash, upon closer scrutiny, you will find an entry from Troy chiding me for making reference to a famous case about this woman who claimed to have been repeatedly sexually harassed by an "entity", an occurrence that scientific surveillence proved to be plausible. In his reaction to this, Troy implied that my claim was ridiculous, especially since he couldn't track down this supposedly famous incident, and I offered no video to verify it. He then went on to compare me to you because, like you are consistently guilty of doing, I didn't back up what I said with credible evidence. Further down on that same thread you responded to Troy by saying my claim about such a woman was a bunch of "jive-ass nonsense", and you further requested that he never again mention my name with yours when trying to verify something. This is the reason I consulted "Gemini" which is an AI search engine, and it supplied me with the information that I provided on this post. You're no doubt resorting to your usual devious chicanery of substituting a false scenario to save face, while pretending you think Gemini is a "person" you're not acquainted with. Puleeze. The only reason I re-visited that post was because I received a notification that Troy had quoted me in it and I wanted to see what he had to say. I wouldn't even belabor the point now but your feigning innocence is a bit much. Some ol, same ol. 😴
  2. @Pioneer1 You obviously forgot it. When I mentioned the incident it was based on, you joined Troy in expressing disbelief, and dismissed my reference to it as baseless.
  3. stfu. You don't know what you're talkin about. It's not the "witch riding my back" sleep paralysis. I am wide awake and can move freely when this tingle sensation happens; that's how I am able to cross my fingers, - a hand exercise that triggers a certain area in your brain which helps to relax you.
  4. This is the response from Gemini to my inquiry about the subject that evoked ridicule and scorn on the post about Corporal Possession. The case you are thinking of likely involves the famous "Entity" haunting of Doris Bither, which took place in Culver City, California, in 1974. This case became widely known and served as the direct inspiration for the 1978 bestselling book The Entity by Frank De Felitta, which was subsequently adapted into the 1982 horror film of the same name starring Barbara Hershey. The Background of the Case Doris Bither, a mother living in California, approached parapsychologists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)—specifically researcher Barry Taff—claiming that she was being physically and sexually assaulted in her home by invisible, malevolent forces or entities. She reported being pinned down, beaten, and sexually violated by these unseen presences, usually occurring at night or while she was in bed. Investigation and Laboratory Context While the investigation primarily centered around her home (where researchers claimed to have photographed anomalous streaks and orbs of light and documented moving objects), elements of sleep science and clinical observation often intersect with this specific lore: Sleep Paralysis and the "Incubus Phenomenon": In modern medicine and sleep laboratories, experiences where individuals wake up feeling pinned, suffocated, or physically/sexually assaulted by an unseen entity are recognized as severe episodes of sleep paralysis coupled with hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations. This is historically referred to as the "incubus syndrome". The "Evidence" Aspect: In the popular retellings of the Bither case and similar historical parapsychological investigations, researchers often highlighted physiological recordings—such as sudden spikes in heart rate, changes in brain wave patterns, or physical bruising and markings found on the subjects after these attacks—as "objective evidence" that something real and external was interacting with them while they slept. From a scientific consensus standpoint, these physiological reactions are understood as the body's intense autonomic and panic response to a sleep-stage dissociation (where the mind wakes up during REM sleep while the body remains paralyzed, triggering vivid, terrifying tactile and visual hallucinations). However, in pop culture and true crime/paranormal lore, the Bither case remains the definitive benchmark for the "invisible entity sexual assault" narrative.
  5. @Troy Lol. I was just "choppin things up", as ProfD says. You know I'm into the paranormal and I have had some personal experiences with the supernatural so your overreaction surprises me... The terms "incubus" and "succubus" have been around for centuries usually in the context of mythology. They are referred to as either mischievous or sinister nocturnal "demons". I remember hearing about the case I referred to many years ago, but YouTube has never been my reference source so I can't come up with any videos to confirm the validity of the case in question. I do intend to check elsewhere in regard to any "rumors" on this subject . I don't have any criteria as to what constitutes spirit entities and have never heard the claim about capturing them in bottles. That sounds like voodoo to me. But I can tell you this: Beginning around 15 years ago, in the middle of the night around 3:am the bewitching hour, if it happens to be a night that I am in the bed dozing rather than up and about piddling around, something that is part of my routine of "living around the clock", I have been jolted awake by what begins with a slight jerk followed by a tingling feeling starting at my toes, and slowly spreading throughout my entire body, terminating around my neck, - never resulting in any orgasmic activity, however. This petrified me the first time it happened but I subsequently began crossing my fingers when this sensation occurred because I read somewhere this is a defense against demons. Upon doing this, the tingling gradually dissipated and faded away.This has been happening to me on a regular basis for years. Sometimes I just let it play out, and other times I'll sit up and turn on my night light and "normalcy" gradually returns. Now, I've become used to it and I just let it pass like all the other weird things that I experience on my journey toward oblivion... I would really appreciate some feedback from Del on this phenomena. I think he could enlighten and neutralize your hysterical indignation and pioneer's repugnant smugness. Check ya later.
  6. Hummm... on my way out, this post about spirits caught my eye, what with my long time interest in the paranormal. Are y'all talking spirits as in demonic "entities" - which the Catholic Church has special rituals to exorcise in the event said spirits possess people? What about "incubus" and "succubus", nocturnal demons who have long been said to exist and given these names to refer to them as, and who purportedly sexually harass or seduce people during sleep episodes. There was a famous case about a woman who was put under observation in a sleep laboratory after she "complained" of being repeatedly "raped" by an incubus. Sure enough, upon being watched while asleep, there was reason to confirm that something was copulating with her, causing her to have orgasms. 😵🫪 OK, back to my AI universe. 👋
  7. @ProfD Can hardly waIt to see how the BEARs do this new season. You'll be hearing from me!
  8. Well, Y'all, August 18th finally arrived and I woke up this morning. Completed yet another trip around ol Sol. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
  9. ImgBB1783761227251 hosted at ImgBBImage 1783761227251 hosted on ImgBBYour powers to detox poison and exorcise demons are amazing. I am forever grateful for the protective shield you have encased me in. Let fools wallow in their folly. My Angel stands tall.
  10. @ProfD Well, Pioneer can shadow box. I am disarmed. I've apparently "exceeded the number of attachments I can upload here", (?) not to mention that I'm burnt out. I have no more opinions to express about the current state of America or the world, and I'm tired of wasting my and everyone elses' time exchanging insults with Pioneer. How many more ways can I express my aversion to him 🤮 As R.E. Hayes just said, it is "grotesque". Fortunately, there are alternative ways to occupy my free time and they are quite engrossing sooooo.... 😉 The countdown is on as I mark off the days leading up to August 18th, my 93rd birthday, and that is now my main focus. You, Troy, Delano, Mel, Richard, Frankster, Uberchist, Harry all take care! 🫥 👋 🫶
  11. @Pioneer No, I didn't say that. A classic example of how you twist words. I never said anything about getting drunk.But you can't help yourself. Putting your spin on words is your defense mechanism, apparently. Being exposed as the devious pathological liar that you are would drive you completely out of your mind. As I've always said. You are s classic case study of a mentally disturbed person. 😵‍💫
  12. @ProfD. You expressed in a single paragraph what it took me 100 or so words to say in the post preceding yours. Ol jive ass Pioneer got beat at his own game and can't take it. He's on the ropes and struggling to stay on his feet. 🤭🤣
  13. @Pioneer1 If you hate it, I love it! If you can't take it, then don't dish it out! As ususal. you do your dirty work and then try and come across as somebody other than the deceitful, conniving , underhanded, lying, psycho that you are. All you had to do was what everybody else did. Just shrug and scroll on past my posts. Cynique having fun. Who cares? Not you. You set out on a campaign to out do me, injecting your lewd remarks at every turn, contaminating everything with the foulness that is your true nature. You went berserk, blowing eveything out of proportion, even posting a picture of who you falsely believed to be my "boy toy", providing proof of how flawed your vision is since it didn't look anything like him. Then suddenly you want to play the victim. I have nothing but contempt for a forked tongue snake in the grass like you. You've been served, so just crawl on back down in the sewer and lick your wounds. Hopefully, you'll poison yourself.
  14. Poor ol jive ass country nigga Pioneer Sho wish I could become a pimp so I could beat up womem and sell crack on da street. I ain't makin nothin from slappin my ol lady around. But at least I still got my secret peep hole in the ladies room where I can jack off while watchin dem Afrikan women pee.
  15. @ProfD I have no problems at all because I'm posting from my phone. I never log out. And I have an app that connects me any time I decide to post.
