DV Legends & Monsters?

[Beardilocks]

I had a paranormal experience in the Eastern Sierra. At the time it happened I was on a solo hiking trip about to go to sleep for the night at a lake just below the north face of university peak and I honestly just experienced it and thought that it was shockingly weird but then ust went along on my trip without thinking about it as I needed to stay focused on what I was doing.  In the following years I didn't think about it much at all.  I'd tell people about it thought I wasn't shy...especially around a campfire but everyone including my family would look at me like I was making it up, and that I had 2 heads.

After 8 years it bubbled up and i spent another 2 or 3 years with it bouncing around in my head a little more often and a little deeper and was getting desperate for some sort of perspective and probably some validation from....well anyone...so much so that I finally wrote an awkward "I'm not a white guy but this thing happened" email to the historical preservation officer to the local native American tribe and I received a wonderful response that while didn't close the loop by any means it was a sort of healing balm to calm down the questions.

So then when my wife had an experience in death valley, again with a native American theme, considering I looked like a liar or a crazy person when I told my story she decided to keep it to herself.  I know mine actually happened, and I know my wife's did too because I was there and watched it unfold.  While we both have a connection to the Sierra, we have only within the last couple years started getting into DV and it's just mind blowing having these deep connections with these areas

Sparky:
Thank you for this deeply personal response. I have had some experiences (on the east coast) that I don’t share very frequently either.  

Theres an interesting thing called “paranormal apathy” that seems to be quite common n people that experience odd or even downright terrifying experiences that sit outside of the “normal” human interactions with the sort of “agreed upon reality” that all supposedly share.  Whether it’s an internal reaction from the brain to try to keep things simple for us or it’s caused by the entity or experience in some way that we can’t register is unknown.  But I do find it interesting every time I talk to anyone that brushes off something like that.  Hell, I’ve had experience with things that I kind of don’t believe in, that happened as clear as day, but I’m still overly doubtful sometimes.  

I’d love to hear about your experience if you would like to share. If not in the open here, feel free to PM me or PM me for contact details. 

Thanks for your story!
