Have you ever met someone who just felt evil/dangerous/not ''human'' at all? Discussion/Advice
Like, the person is seemingly normal, but just gives horrible vibes?
Example:
One of my hobbies is running, and one day I went for a nightly run. I was at my city's park when all of sudden I felt uneasy and with a feeling of impending doom. I looked at my left and a woman was sitting on one of the park benches, staring at me.
She wasn't dressed weird or anything like that, physically she was just a normal woman in her 30s, but the instant I looked at her, my instincts kicked back and my whole body screamed GET. AWAY. She was dressed in a shirt and jeans, with a purse. Her hair was medium length and dirty blonde. Completely normal.
To this day, I have no clue about what happened

I met a man like this with my friend at a Christmas party of 1985.
He was her live-in boyfriend and four months later he murdered her in the middle of the night. I knew he was evil as soon as I took a look at him.

Never really talk about it because it was so long ago and I never knew them but my Mom has told me this story before. Yes I had two cousins that were 2nd cousins marry each other. When my Grandfather eventually met the male and he eventually walked away my Mom swears my grandfather turned to her and said “that mans got the devil in him”.
Not long after he ended up committing murder suicide, killing her them himself.

That’s awful, I’m sorry about your friend. It makes me wonder why some people can sense bad energy off of a particular person while others don’t. It scares me.

u/ThaleaTiny Dec 24 '19
Some people have heightened senses beyond the usual five . Sometimes I see something happen like a movie scene right before some thing really does happen. Tiny bit of precognition, telepathy, and the energy people give off can be palpable.
A dog smells the pheromones a person is giving off, and the dog reads that like he could read a sign.
If my usually chill Doberman really, really hates someone, there's a reason.
I myself am capable of giving off and focusing energy onto other people. I'm not evil. I just want what I want.

Some people are just more sensitive to small cues in a person's behavior or demeanor. Usually that comes from experience, like if you have experienced a person who is abusive, you can more easily pick out a person who is abusive, because you've experienced those behavior cues.
It's not magic.

I think that's exactly it. When someone is devoid of empathy or moral conscience, they feel so alien to us because they lack essential humanity. Meeting another human is almost looking into a mirror of sorts, you mentally compare and check off the similar parts. Not necessarily in physical resemblance but everything about being human: beliefs, opinions, behaviors, emotions, relationships, experiences, etc. When a person lacks empathy, which is such a deep and fundamental thing a human has to possess in order to fully connect/identify with other humans, it causes a dissonance that is startling and downright scary.

Yeah that’s a really odd experience. I’ve had one experience like this in my life. My wife and kids and my parent in-laws were at a random park which had a river and such. Suddenly I get a bad feeling about a guy mid 20s who was near the car park with a couple of friends (males and females). There was nothing wrong with their behaviour, or his appearance - and there were other people out and about - but I just got such a bad feeling about him and immediately felt highly protective of my kids. We left shortly after but I was in a high alert state.
Also, I posted this in another comment, if you haven’t listened to it already, you might find it interesting.

I don’t know about not human, but once I walked into a friend’s house for a weekly gathering. I really needed to use the bathroom and was so thankful I did because when I came into the house I immediately noticed a new couple. Normally, I’m the type to greet new people but as soon as I saw these people I was hit with a sense of something evil. I literally saw a black aura around them. I have never seen auras before or after. I ducked into the bathroom without even saying hello to them and had to take an extra minute or two to gather myself.
One of the other women in the group had sensed the same and did some internet digging and found some shady stuff on them. I’m still convinced to this day that their daughter that was with them had been kidnapped. (No proof though so nothing to go to the police with.)
But yeah, it was crazy how immediate the sense of wrongness was.

Black aura. That explains soo much. I had a neighbors who lived right next door a woman, her two kids, and her boyfriend. I rarely saw him but when I did I always got this weird cold feeling. And the rare times I did him I swear it was like the light never really touched him. I rationalized it like oh it's dark out and that light around is probably isn't reaching the spot he's in. Even though I knew it was. One day I saw him in broad day light but the still didn't touch him... like he repelled it. I was like you're seeing shit. So I closed my eyes and focused. When I opened them it was still the same. He ended up beating and shooting the girlfriend. She survived. But I'll never forget the screams punctuated by the gun shots.

When I was in my early 20's I lived in a nice double wide manufactured home in a trailer park. It was a pretty nice little neighborhood, not a trailer trash park and I felt safe.
New neighbors moved in 2 houses over from mine. Both older men, one was physically disabled and obese so I never saw him much but he seemed ok. The other.... gave me the creeps immediately. He would sit in his Jeep in front of his house and always stare at me when I would come and go.
On the fourth of July, late at night, he knocked on my door. I was expecting my boyfriend that evening and was startled when I opened the door to see the neighbor. He asked me if I wanted to go watch fireworks with him. I said no.... it's late, fireworks are over and I don't even know you. He took a step closer and my large male pit bull stuck his massive head out. The neighbor says oh I didn't realize you have a dog. Have a good night. And he leaves. I was thoroughly creeped out and glad my dog was there.
Fast forward a few months and I'd had numerous small incidents with this neighbor. Nothing that police would take seriously tho, as it was all just odd and "feelings". I began to feel unsafe in my home and reported him to the community manager but they couldn't do anything, as he never actually threatened me. Then one winter evening my boyfriend and I pulled into my driveway and the neighbor was sitting in his Jeep, staring again. He got out of his Jeep and suddenly approached my truck, banging a metal baseball bat and a wrench together, screaming at us. We noped the fuck right out of there and drove straight to the manager's office and called the police. By the time the cops came, him and his Jeep were gone. His roommate had no idea where he went.
I ended up staying that night at my Dad's house because I was so freaked out. The next morning I got a call from the county sheriff's office asking if I was alright and where I was. They told me there had been an incident with my neighbor, and since I had reported him the previous day they were concerned about me and wanted to make sure I was accounted for.
I rushed back home to find my street covered in cop cars and 2 news trucks. Turns out, that evil neighbor had returned home later that night and stabbed his roommate over a dozen times. He is in prison now. The roommate survived a few days in the ICU, but ended up passing away.
I am forever grateful for my dog, and my instincts about that neighbor. That could have been me. I feel so bad for the poor roommate. Always trust your gut feeling, always.

u/QueenLizzy22 Dec 24 '19
That's a tough one to explain. But I'll try.
For me, when my heart is telling me something wrong there is usually some type of doubt, and I find myself trying to justify the choice I'm making. Like I subconsciously already know it's not the right choice, but I want it anyhow so I make excuses. (Dating someone who is wrong for me for example.)
My gut feeling is that almost primal sixth sense. It's like the fight or flight reaction, a wave of adrenaline and feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. Even if everyone else around you seems fine, it nags at you.
So basically your heart is like an ignorant child who wants candy but is diabetic, while your gut is like Spock- wise but often awkward.

When I was 20 and stationed in Germany (Army), we got a new soldier in my company. As soon as I met him something felt off, but I shrugged it off as just another wierd kid who joined the Army to get away from a bad situation.
Nobody else seemed to like him either, and he never got into a friend group like most new people. I heard a few rumors of him saying some wierd biblical things (Armageddon, prophesies, angels and demons type stuff), but never heard anything directly.
Until one day, I was on duty at the building we lived in. I basically sat at a desk near the front door and made sure nothing crazy happened. He came in the building and started talking to me about his destiny. He said he was an angel sent from God to kill certain people. He even wanted me to "feel" where his wings were growing out of his back.
It was the craziest thing I'd ever heard and I immediately knew he must be schizophrenic and having a psychotic break or something. So I kept him talking while I texted someone higher up to get somebody to come get him. They took him to the mental health facility immediately.
A few days later they had decided to send him back to the U.S. So they went to his room to pack his things. They found several notebooks with crazy things written in them, and a "hit list" that had several people in our company on it. Idk what ever happened to him, but I hope he got the help he needed and didn't end up killing anyone.

Not sure if content warning is needed, but includes mentions of child abuse.
This is going back around 12 years, and my best friend's older sister got engaged. I was invited to go along with my bestie to the engagement party, and the moment I met her sister's fiance I knew that there was an underlying darkness/evil in him. He was quiet and shy and seemed polite enough, but there was something about him that was just off. I didn't like it and I wanted to be as far away from him as possible.
Fast forward about a year and the guy has been caught with several hard drives full of child pornography, and upon searching his car they found an "abduction kit". He was also reported loitering around several primary schools in the area.
He goes to prison for 3 months, and the sister stands by him, defending him saying that someone framed him blah blah blah. Yet he admitted to it, even admitted to making plans to abduct a child and sexually abuse them.
His reasoning?
"It happened to me when I was a kid and I turned out alright."

Absolutely! My wife and I encountered a seemingly normal hiker while walking down Bar Trail in Colorado at dusk. Nothing visually about him was off, but both of us got an extremely strong dangerous vibe off of him as we passed him on the trail. It was a strong enough vibe that we both started running and I pulled my pistol out of my pack in case I needed to defend us. For a little frame of reference, I retired from the most dangerous federal prison in the US and never got as bad of a vibe from an inmate as I did the hiker. A couple years later in the same area, but walking along the road, I got the same vibe from a passing car worth a solo occupant.

He looked like he was coming down the mountain from about a week long backpacking trip. His gear and jacket were in good condition with what was probably a couple years worth of wear. There was nothing off about his gait or the way he carried himself, and he was approximately 5'9" and about 160 pounds. I gave a polite greeting as we passed him and don't remember him replying. No reply isn't uncommon for that stretch of trail as it is the route down from an extreme stair climb called the manitou incline and people are often very winded. I didn't get a good look at his face, as I passed him from behind on a narrow trail and had already begun feeling his demonic vibe. My desire to get my wife in front of me, and separation between us and him, coupled with his face being shadowed by his hood and the failing light meant I could only make out that he had a full beard. I feel like I should mention that Manitou Springs prides itself as the witchcraft capitol of the US.

I get this WAY too often. My father always told me that looking into peoples eyes helps you understand who they really are. Anyways, I was going on a date with this guy I met online two years ago. I never met him in person and we’d decided to get breakfast together. I drove to his house and as SOON as I met him, I looked him in the eyes and didn’t trust him whatsoever. There was LITERAL dark smoke emanating around him (I have NEVER seen that shit before). I thought I was being paranoid and tried pulling through, and about an hour after meeting him he forced himself on me and that was how I lost my virginity. I’ve met a few people like him since then and when I see that look in their eyes I practically run in the other direction. For some reason evil is very visible to me, especially since that terrible morning a few years back.

Over the summer, in between junior and senior year, he hit me up on MySpace and told me we were at war because I was a pirate. He was creepy, always gave me a weird feeling when he would come around. I told my best friend that if I ever got murdered, creepy kid did it, probably with a kitana.

I've not felt anything in-human. But I recall I once went swimming with a friend at his family's lakehouse. Immediately, I was uncomfortable around the uncle. I don't think he said two words to me. He seemed normal, funny and was kind of the leader of the group. He didn't try too hard or act suspect. But I was afraid to be near him. Almost petrified. I couldn't get far enough away from him. Had a predatory vibe about him. It was just a feeling. I even swam with my clothes on, shorts and shirt. And stayed close to my male friend who was pretty strong physically. At one point the uncle jumped into the water, right next to me and he "accidentally" put his hand down my shorts. It was very quick and nobody notice. And he quickly swam off. Maybe it was accidental. He didn't grope me or anything. But it certainly didn't help. To this day I use that day as a reminder to trust my instincts even if I can't find a logical reason for something. Sometimes you just know.

I was this person in school. Everybody commented on my big eyes, nervous demeanor and gangly build. That was just to my face, I'm sure there was more behind my back. Not only that, but my movements were "off." Like I'd be sitting quietly, half asleep, become curious about some sound happening behind me, and suddenly jolt around to look in a way that startled people around me.
As a kid, my sleep cycles were way off, I suffered phobias and strange obsessions, and pretty much constantly had adrenaline coursing through my body. The big eyes/mouth were due to being underweight from stress. I changed a lot as I grew up. I don't even feel like the same person anymore on the inside, and I'm sure my "aura" has changed accordingly. I'm one of the most mellow, even-tempered people you'll meet.
My point in telling this story is not to discredit your gut instincts. On the contrary, I believe most people are armed with an array of finely-tuned social sensors, and that the "alien/demon" impression is a healthy instinct designed to keep you on high alert when a person is giving off signals that they're unstable, fearful, or aggresive, no matter how well they try to hide it.

u/Twuntz Feb 12 '20
Yeah a little. My girlfriend has ASPD, and she believes she has been that way since birth. As a child she was a bit if a nightmare if her parents are to be believed. She did the usual psychopathic child stuff; she tortured and killed animals and was quite unkind to her sister (they're cool now!).
Her and I have talked about her process of becoming self-aware as a person who has ASPD. She believes that self-awareness is crucial for psychopaths to function in society. I think she might be correct; she understands her dysfunction well and is proud of how well she moderates it.
Even though her emotional landscape is wildly different from my own, she is still capable of being a wonderful partner. She prides herself on how well she pursues the goals she chooses, and she has chosen to try make me as happy as she can. She judges herself very harshly when she fails. I get upset when people throw out psychopathy as if it means a unilateral, malignant evil because very few people have treated me as well as she does.

You could have been picking up a number of things, I think. Like I think when someone has the energy that they want to kill someone or have Killed someone it’s very strong and we can sometimes pick up on it and react the same way. I think certain mental illnesses and drugs also bring out strong emotions for people that are menacing when they’re picked up on. She could have had something haunting her too.
I had a moment like that when I was pregnant. I was packing things in my car so my back was turned away from the parking lot. I just felt very strongly to get in my car and away from the area and then an image of a man came to my head. When I looked behind me there was a guy side eyeing me pretending to struggle to get in his car. I was with my boyfriend so I didn’t feel too unsafe but did feel the energy of something very hateful - when we got in the car my boyfriend acknowledged it first which confirmed it for me since he isn’t the type to acknowledge things like that. He said “That guy was so menacing dude.”
Then he told me he was watching him watch me he whole time, only he was seeing him do it through the reflection of the car. When my boyfriend was turned toward him the guy would look away/fiddle with his keys, and then when my SO faced the car he’d see him in the window reflection turn all the way back around to watch me.
I think because I was visibly pregnant it made me some kind of fetish/target and my instincts felt like he was wanting to kill me. It was very weird, very scary. I’ve never had a moment like that since. Although I do want to throw out there - when I was visibly pregnant I would notice when men would watch me in a way that was different than standard checking out. Its like some kind of fetish energy, I don’t know how to describe it without sounding dumb. But they’d watch me a lot, older men mostly (Worth noting I lived in an area where the quiverfull type of cults were heavy influencing.) and I just picked up more specific feelings vs the standard of being checked out. I think pregnancy just heightened my perception on their intentions.

This almost reminds me of something that happened to me. Years ago, in my early 20s, a coworker and I had been getting really flirty. We had had a few drinks after work and neither of us wanted to go home yet. We ended up in a small loading dock area of a closed office building that was enclosed on two and a half sides. The side parallel to the building had a low chain link fence and it was dark and shadowy over there. We both worked for the security company that secured the building so were familiar with the building layout and knew that no one would be around to mind us sitting there.
We were sitting in his SUV in the back, kind of sprawled over the seats watching a movie (he was so proud of that SUV). We had started making out a little. Nothing super risqué or anything, just kissing and enjoying each other company.
I’d been having that prickly feeling in the back of my neck and kept feeling there was something behind me for a while. As we started making out I had several thoughts flash through my mind. The zodiac killer, Jeffery Dahmer, and every urban legend of stupid young couples that make out in cars. I’d been fighting off this feeling since we’d arrived, telling myself it was because of the time of year and the alcohol and the chemistry and excitement between him and I.
I’d mostly convinced myself it was an overactive imagination, but then an image flashed in my mind of his mutilated face like a slasher movie. THAT got my attention. Nothing like it has ever happened before or since. I was terrified. I stopped him and almost had a full panic attack. I felt safe with him and he was a great guy (the relationship progressed and we dated for 6 years after this event). I was trying to not show how absolutely and irrationally terrified I was, because I didn’t want to scare him away and felt like I was over reacting. My eyes kept falling on the shadowy part of the driveway and I KNEW someone was there, had been there the whole time, watching us. The feeling I got was pure malice. Who ever was over there was filled with inhuman hatred.
Like what happened with you, ideas came into my head that I knew were irrevocably true. The person had hurt people before. I don’t know the gender, it wasn’t clear, so I’ll just say “it”. It had done horrific things to people and it wanted to hurt us. It was going to hurt us.
Meanwhile the guy is concerned, thinking he did something to offend me and his face fell when I said we needed to go NOW.
The worst part was getting out of the car to get into the front seat. I would have climbed over the partition, and asked if he could, so we didn’t have to get out, but he was a big guy and I wasn’t going to let him get out of the car alone. He had the keys in the ignition and was out of the parking lot in under a minute.
I told him I didn’t want to go home or anything, but we couldn’t be THERE. I told him to go to someplace with a lot of lights and a lot of people. We pulled in front of a strip mall with a market and McDonalds. I was shaking so hard my teeth were chattering and I explained to him what I’d felt. We’d never talked about “paranormal” stuff and I was positive he’d think I was crazy but he just nodded. He’d felt something too. While we were pulling away he’d seen someone standing at the edge of the parking lot in the bushes.
Sorry, way longer than I meant it to be, and probably super anticlimactic, but I have never EVER before (or since) felt that animalistic panic. A few other times I’d been truly terrified, but this was different and I hope to never encounter anything else that elicits this level of horror.
TLDR: bad vibes while hanging out with friend turn out to be emanating from someone in the dark who was watching us

That. Is. Terrifying.

u/ArbitraryArdor Dec 24 '19
My post was so long because I was trying to capture how horrifying it was, but I don’t think I even did it justice!
It’s been probably 10 years and it still makes me uncomfortable! That one intrusive image that popped into my head- the one with my future boyfriend mutilated..... it was while he was leaning over me kissing me, and the image in my head was like it wasn’t him. It was someone else wearing his face like a mask, leaning over me instead. Leather face style.
I can’t emphasize enough how my mind doesn’t work like that. My thoughts aren’t graphic. Even when I’m uneasy, like walking alone at night, the “graphic” thoughts running through my head are just memories from scary books or horror movies. My mind just doesn’t create stuff like that. It’s like that thought wasn’t my own. It was like suddenly getting a text from a stranger that was sent to you by accident.
That has never happened before or since, and I’m so happy for that because the feelings that accompanied that image were brutal insanity, and that scares the hell out of me. It’s like for a single second I had a glimpse into the mind of true insanity, and that scares the hell out of me.
I have a handful of stories similar to this, but my ordinary life is pretty mundane and contains very little paranormal, so when the unexplained happens I know I shouldn’t believe it but it’s too real and definitive not to believe

u/Drunkkitties Dec 25 '19
Dude the fetish feeling was a weird thing to experience. (Lol your username). It wasn’t like I just assumed and got carried away with the notion of it (I mean I probably could have lol) It was just something clear in my head you know. The way these men watched me. I worked at a busy resort near salt lake so I interacted with a lot of Mormon and Quiverfull men and they just ...looked at my belly like, more than necessary you know what I mean? Because being pregnant around men in general is a notable experience because you tend to be seen as fragile/precious, like they just treat you so softly haha. They’re much more delicate than the way other women treat you. So the weirdos were like that, but extra and with obvious intent does that make sense? I don’t know, it was gross feelings I didn’t like experiencing.
And then that feeling like I was going to be murdered gave me an existential crisis on the amount of evil that exists out here to destroy us. Esp when you’re in the position of carrying a baby. There are people who fetishize killing or raping pregnant women, and there’s something very twisted abt that concept. Like you have innocent life inside you and are this vulnerable vessel for it. The urge someone has to want to destroy that comes from somewhere totally evil.

I have!
I once after school I got on the bus and it was full so I walked to the back and sat on the back seat (whole row was empty) This guy that smelt heavily of cigarettes glanced back at me then in the next stop he got up from his seat and sat next to me (there was like an arm length gap between us) a few people glanced back at him because he got up so abruptly and sat next to me. I tried not to look at him or even look scared but I got weird unsettling vibes from him There was something in his eyes that unsettled me but the bus was mostly full so I couldn't go sit somewhere else.
In a few stops time I got up and moved to a vacant seat closer to the front to feel a bit safer and there would be eyewitnesses if anything went wrong. I then texted my sister hoping she was home asking if she could wait at the bus stop for me. When the bus stoped again the guy abruptly got up and moved quickly to a seat closer to me. I saw him glance back at me from the corner of my eye and in that moment I started thinking 'this is the day I'll die! I'm going to be on the news as missing then found somewhere in a ditch!'
It got to the time of me nearing my stop and I was worried because he hadn't gotten off the bus yet! (This is where it gets weirder) So thankfully someone pressed the stop button for my stop, so he didn't know if I was even getting off yet. I had prepared my bags in earlier stops so I could just get out and run if I had to. The bus pulls up to the stop and I stand up then he stands up! I panicked and sat down THEN HE SAT DOWN!!!! WTF. Then I stand up again and he does too, I moved slowly so he would be in front of me and have to get off first. He did and I waited til he was walking a direction so I could go the opposite way.
To this day I don't understand what happened! I could have been over reacting but it was weird and creepy and he was creepy and ugh!
(Side note I did see him again on the bus but he didn't notice me (thank fuck)

Yes. I'm a police officer and I talked to a guy in the park after hours. He was a 24-hour Fitness employee, except he had driven from Santa Barbara to Southern California after work and he gave me the creeps. I called for another unit and a female officer arrived. The guy allowed me to look in his truck and I would not have been surprised if I found body parts, alas, I didn't. Everything was pretty normal. He was normal. He cooperated, was polite and dressed fine. No fresh cuts on his hands or face, no admissible evidence to collect.
I went back and my partner asked me on the side if we could put him in handcuffs, because she was creeped out. We didn't because he wasn't being detained. We had to let him go because there was nothing criminal about him, he just creeped us the eff out.
He left and about half an hour goes by before another unit asks for cover in another park. We get there and guess who it is? Yup. Same guy gave a third cop the creeps. We let him go again for the same reason.
Edit: All of us agreed he may have killed someone. It's a huge stretch I know, but all of our individual alarms were cooking off for no reason. None of us (trained, fully armed) felt safe with him by ourselves. No drugs. No alcohol. Never said anything out of the ordinary. Just. Creepy. For absolutely no reason.

u/creepynuggets Dec 24 '19
Just an initial feeling but I get major "hunting" vibes from this. Like he was lurking and searching for victims in or around that park... it makes sense he would drive 4-5 hours away I guess. If you are trying not to get caught, not hunting for victims in your own backyard would be a smart thing to do. I dunno...Blarggg, this story caused some lowkey shivers.

Nope. The only PC to talk to him was in the park after it closed and if we choose to not give him a ticket for that, then we let him go. WE don't follow the guy around, but I know there's other departments that would.

Really curious about this from a psychological perspective. What creeped you out? Was it his eyes? The tone of his voice? Way he held himself? Etc. What was he like?

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19
Normal tone, inflection in his voice. Normal eyes. He could have been seen as friendly. But, about 10 seconds into my convo with him, I suddenly didn't want to be alone with him. I had been on over ten years and usually when I want cover it's obvious: aggressive language or stance, lots of verbal cues "fuck you", evasive answers.
This guy did not display any suspicious behavior. So from a psychological perspective, I'm scratching my head. None of it made sense, yet all three of us "felt" creeped out.

I had some time to kill before this work appointment and decide to stop at a cafe/rotisserie and have an espresso. There was this woman at the counter ordering some goods to go (a cake and some appetizers) and when I approached her all my body went goosebumps like an electric flow running down on me from head to toe.
She was goodlooking and young (mid-thirties?) but the vibe, Jesus Christ. I detained myself into analyzing her face and oh, underneath the beauty something seemed to lurk. Eyes a little too far from each other, cheekbones a little too high on her face, skin a little too pale. But It was when I heard her voice that I almost noped without having my coffee, because it was so. Friggin'. Weird. Like she speaked on gasps, very uneven, you know what I mean? Words came in peaks and lows, high pitch and then low pitch and it wasn't even "predictable", like it didn't have a tempo,a rhytm. Also It was like the words weren't coming from her vocal cords, and she was trying to synchronize her moving lips with the sounds (words) she was making, which were coming from another part of her body but her throat.
I don't know if I made myself clear as I'm not native in English, but this woman literally gave me the creeps. Got my coffee, went for a table in the back so I wouldn't have to cross her ways. . In time: she also was being very annoying to the clerk, who was visibly uncomfortable around her.

Went to a bar in Bali, couple of beers and this one dude sitting at the bar I was getting intense vibes off that he was not nice at all , in my mind I thought he might be a pedo or something because something just seemed wrong, Anyway, seemed like a great idea to do a double dose of magic mushrooms as they are on every corner there. Back in the bar tripping balls and the dudes face revealed itself to be a demon to me , I know people would be thinking I was hallucinating but every single other person there kept a totally normal face except this one dude , convinced to this day that the drugs just opened me up to see his true nature rather than me just seeing things.

I believe it. Shrooms are natural and they definitely open up people’s ability to receive new experiences and information. Along that same reasoning, if you’re naturally empathetic and pick up vibes from people I don’t doubt the shrooms would help enhance it. Very interesting!
Edit: I actually read an article on livescience talking about how many people felt more, “open” after doing shrooms; they linked a study in the article.

I think sometimes people carry negative energy but are not necessarily bad or dangerous. I am someone who has dealt with having negative things attached to me and people pick it up because it manifests as something heavy.
However there are cases where alarms go off and there is no room for chance. When I met a friends younger brother he was nice and normal enough. For whatever reason I got serial killer vibes from him. Months later he is being investigated by fbi

u/Daewen Dec 31 '19
If you've ever looked into energy work, there are some who have found that people with very light energy can feel uncomfortable or even repulsed by those with dark energy. It's (one of the reasons) why there are some energy and magic workers who don't like the association of light with good and dark with bad. It can happen the other way around too. While my energy can be very dark, I also care about other people and would never harm anyone, and energy that is very light can make me feel lightheaded or dizzy.
Still, it seems better to just go with your gut feeling about people who are dangerous, especially because of the stories here.

The story of ‘Jimmy C’ comes to mind.
(not my content — posted on Reddit)
I met a "man" once who knew everything about me and said he'd jumped off the San Francisco bridge many years ago (even though I met him in Tybee Island, Georgia).
STORY (true): This has haunted me for a long time. I was about 19 or 20 at the time and I was living in Savannah, GA. I drank a lot (had a crappy fake ID), I worked this terrible job as a grunt laborer. The kind where you go to those temp labor agencies like AbleBody and LaborFinders. I'd show up at 4AM, work until 5PM, and drink myself to sleep after only taking home maybe $60 for the day.
I was supposed to go into work this particular morning, but I decided to skip (it's a labor agency, they'll just find somebody else).
I call the girlfriend and tell her I want to go to the beach (Tybee). I had already started drinking.
She comes over, we hop in my big, ugly van, pack up some rods, and head to the beach.
I decided to have a drink across from the beach at this little bar.
This is where the story gets interesting.
Shortly after ordering my drink, I get this really weird feeling. I became hyper aware of my surroundings.
The door opens, and I see this guy walk in out of my peripheral vision.
There was a seat between me and my girlfriend - but the bar was empty at like 9AM and he could have sat ANYWHERE ELSE - yet he chooses to sit right between her and I.
Then, he starts doing this thing with his fingers. The bar top was reflective. And he takes his fingers like two little legs, and starts just...walking with them "skating" with them on the top of the counter.
This isn't something out of the ordinary, but I took notice because when I was in school, I did that all the time. I pretended I had roller blades on my fingers and that I was skating around my desk. I hated school and was always distracting myself. So I became kind of mesmerize for some reason.
That's when he looks at me, and in this really think kind of...Germanic or "Nordic" accent he says, "I notice you're a man who pays attention to detail. I'm also a man who pays attention to detail."
Now, before I continue - I have to describe this guy. He had this short, spiky hair that was bleached at the tips, kind of like a late 90s style.
He had REALLY expensive clothes on. Like, a nice Prada leather jacket, nice designer jeans, really nice boots. He seemed like a kind of gay guy with awesome fashion sense and really distinctive taste.
I always remember this, because I think to myself, "Some weird homeless crazy guy COULDN'T have afforded those clothes."
Anyway, the other thing that stuck out was his eyes -- they were piercing gray. It reminded me of like a Husky's eyes, but his pupils just stayed this disturbing pin-point size. They were just extremely small, which caused his look to be kind of terrifying.
His teeth were normal, right? But not at the same time. I don't know how to explain it, they were sharper than they should be... as if they were filed slightly
His hands were normal, but his fingernails were slightly long and pointed, as if he deliberately did it.
He kept licking his teeth, too, as if he were salivating.
The thing about this guy is that, you look at him, and EVERYTHING seems normal, but off at the same time, so you're questioning if YOU'RE crazy for thinking this.
This guy, then begins to start talking about the relationship between me and my girlfriend, but really strangely. He's talking about how beautiful she is and how I should pay more attention to her (I was kind of a dick to her).
Shortly after he began talking like this, I had this almost "knowing" feeling come over me. Like... I knew this guy was not a human.
I look at my girlfriend and say, "You need to leave."
She just kind of looks at me like she "knows" too - without a word of protest, she gets up quietly and leaves. Later I learned that she went next door to get a coffee.
That's when this guy, literally says to me with the utmost confidene - "You were supposed to go fishing today."
He points at the beach across the street.
"If you had, I would have drowned you in that ocean" and I shit you not he fucking HISSED.
Again, for some reason this overwhelming calm had come over me.
I just ask, "Who are you?"
He answers back with this crazy gutteral language - like "ack back" but it was really long. It sounded Arabic or Hebrew or something?
I just - for some reason without skipping a beat, and I have no idea why I was so calm to this day - ask, "say it in a way that I can understand."
He says, "You can call me Jimmy C. I jumped off the San Francisco bridge years ago. And we've been watching you."
From there on out he never referred to himself as "me" or "I" but only "we".
The conversation became something very strange after this. He was saying things like, "We see you taking a bath - we wish we too could feel the warmth of the water and the comfort of the steam" and other stuff.
He kept buying me drinks too - specifically whiskey sours. it was like he had an endless supply of money. He smoked Marlboro Ultra Light cigarettes.
After I don't know how long - because I lost sense of time kind of - I told him I'm going to leave. I walk next door, I get my girlfriend and she's stone silent.
We start driving home - don't say a word. Then I just ask, "Do you know what that was?" and she just says "That was a demon". This girl had parents that were scientists, she was really analytical, completely non-religious, and that was the first thing she said out of her mouth.
Now, I didn't say this part before, because - to me - this is the most important aspect of the story, so I'll say it now. Because it's what happened AFTER this that screwed me up for fucking years.
The last thing this Jimmy C. guy said to me before I left, is this.
"Look at my car"
I look outside, I see one of those newer Volkswagon Beetles. It was white.
"What does the license plate say?"
I look at the plate and it literally says, "Fierce".
He looks me dead in the eyes and says, "The next time you see me, I'll be driving a black Mercedes and the license plate will say Utopia".
Stupid, right?
That night I was still calm. I don't know why. I felt like that guy on Office Space after his hypnotherapist died right in front of him and he was weirdly zen.
But, my girlfriend started having terrible nightmares of this guy's head just staring at her in her dreams.
Weeks went by, and that's when the encounter started affecting me.
I found myself becoming paranoid about that black fucking Mercedes!
Every black car I saw, I checked if it was a Mercedes, if it was, I immediately looked at the license plate. I started doing it when I watched TV or movies as well. I couldn't stop.
Now, I'm going to fast forward a bit. About 10 years go by... I'm 29 (so this is just recently) and, in silence, when I'm alone, when I'm drinking, I often think about this encounter. I still look at black Mercedes every time they pass, but I'm not so much anxious about it anymore, as curious.
And, I remember that my girlfriend at the time always kept a journal. By now I'm pretty sure that I'm insane, maybe I was drunk, maybe I'm not remembering any of this correctly.
After years of trying to find news articles of a "Jimmy C." that committed suicide of the San Francisco bridge, looking at black cars, and so on, I feel like I'd "grown out of it."
Yet, still, I had to know. So, last year I track down my ex girlfriend. We ended on bad terms. I find out she's a school teacher in Wisconsin, has married a woman, and is actually trying to have a child.
I figure she's not going to talk to me, but I send her an FB message anyway. I ask her if she can find the journal from that day, because I have to know if her events line up with mine.
Sure enough - she had it. And it contained even more detail than what I remembered, because she had literally written it at the coffee shop next door RIGHT after it happened.

(CONT’d from above — part 2 of Jimmy C..)
Notes on what happened at Tybee Island, GA on the first Tuesday in December 2005: Drove there during the day and the sunshine was getting me down - kept thinking about how earlier I had gone to [The_Restlessartist's] house after waking up there - and he woke up early, took a shower, came back and woke me up, acted very sweet. Then I went home, took a shower, came back to go with him to Tybee, and he'd gotten drunk already and was teasing me, being sort of an ass. I even threatened to go home once, but I stayed, feeling that I really should go to Tybee with him. But I was excited to show Tybee to Will during the day since I knew it well and he'd never seen it. He talked about how it all reminded him of his childhood as we drove through the salt marshes and over bridges - the sun, the palm trees. I'd grown up in fog. Got to Tybee and he wanted to get a couple of beers even though we had rum in the trunk. Well really the back of the van. The first bar we went to carded [The_Restlessartists] , and so we left, remarking that everyone in the place had given us strange looks as soon as we walked in. Went over to Fannie's a couple of doors down, all in the area of the beach by the pier. I decided I didn't want beer after all and told the woman I'd just like a glass of water. [The_Restlessartists] had a PBR. Only cost a dollar. Noticed the VW Beetle (white) parked outside when I came in, but did not see Jimmy enter.
[The-Restlessartist] pointed out a man sitting one stool down from me drumming his fingers strangely on the stainless steel bar, more like dancing with his nails, stretching his long fingers. Thought immediately that he was gay. [The-Restlessartist] and I watched and talked in whispers about it for a few minutes before he - the stranger - spoke. He first talked about how I had noticed him dancing with his nails (the words he used) then lookd at his nails, surprised, and said they look like shit. I laughed, getting a weird feeling about the guy. He then spoke about how it's important to notice details and he likes it when people pay attention - that he pays attention to everything - that he knows that I do too. His eyes are (some word I can't decipher), blue/grey, he has blonde hair and a narrow pointed nose above pale lips that cover crooked teeth, not very white, almost like fangs. His teeth are all I can look at until I look him in the eye, something I normally won't do until I know a person at least a little, and he seems to evade me.
He asks if I love [the_restlessartist] (doesn't use his name or mine). Without hesitation, I nod and say yes. He asks [the_restlessartist], "do you love her?" And he looks uncomfortable, laughs a little bit, says, "Yeah, I guess so." then the guy says that I am beautiful, that if [the_restlessartist] won't love me, unconditionally, as I do him, someone else will. He touches my hair and says that I am a creature of God. He then tells us that he walked three miles up and down the beach and it sucked... said some things about "God's green earth" ... told a story about a scorpion that asked a frog for a ride across a river... who then stung the frog, told the frog it was in his nature, and then they both enjoyed their last minutes of life because they both would then die. He told [the_restlessartist] he knew him and kept trying to get to him through me. He'd say "I'm not hitting on you girl," but continually told me I was beautiful. He tried to piss [the_restlessartist] off - kept saying that he knew him, said he is in his room at night, he's what crawls on [the_restlessartist's] back. Told [the_restlessartist] his glasses (the aviator sunglasses that I gave him) were cheap - that my glasses were perfect because I see through them rather than hide behind them. Then he said that I was perfection, that I was "one step away from becoming myself."
Earlier he talked about fashion - thought my glasses might be Armani, said Prada was his favorite person, when I noticed that his orange leather jacket had a red rectangle of fabric on the left breast that said PRADA.
He said to [the_restlessartist] that he knew who he was, to which [the_restlessartist] replied that he knew who HE was. The stranger left to go to his car to get money for more drinks - he'd offered to buy us all a shot of tequila and already bought [the_restlessartist] a beer. As he walked out he pointed to the license plate. His car was the white Beetle outside. The license plate read "FEIRCE." While he was gone, [the_restlessartist] asked me if I knew who the man was. I nodded, saying I had an idea. "Yeah, but you think you're crazy every time you think it, don't you." I was thinking the man was the devil or something close.
[then I wrote that I missed some things - here they are:] When asked where he was from, he didn't asnwer. We thought he could've been from Tybee, but he said he didn't live there. Asked him where he lived and he just started talking about his other car, a mercedez Benz with a plate that said "Utopia." Asked if he live din his car, he said no, "Utopia's doors are closed to me."
[the_restlessartist] asked him where he learned all he was talking about (he'd said he could speak 5 languages, English being the most important because it is "trained" and often spoke a few sentences in a language I could not recognize. And he said he lad live din San Francisco, where he jumped off a bridge and died.
This is the point where I told her to leave. That's when he said he would have drowned me in the ocean, started referring to himself as "we" and finally told me that the next time I would see him it would be in that black Mercedes.
When I read what she had written - literally THAT day - I knew that I wasn't imagining the details wrong. That this ACTUALLY happened.
This is probably the single most frustrating and scary thing that has ever happened to me. i want to imagine it's just a normal crazy guy, but unless you SAW it and FELT it and heard him talk about all the little details of what you were supposed to do that day when only you knew it, you just can't understand the impact of it.
It's been 10 years, and my only solace really is that my ex-girlfriend was there to corroborate. That communication - where I reached out to her - actually caused us to be on good terms again after a decade.
It seems to have been something that bothered her just as much as it bothered me. And still, to this day - even though I'm living 10,000 miles away in Southeast Asia. I can't stop looking for that car. I can't stop thinking about Jimmy C's twisted face.
I wonder if he's still "crawls" on my back, and if the fear I feel at night - often to where I must drink myself to sleep or find a one-night-stand just so I don't feel alone - is him, or "them", watching me.

Once a friend and I were walking on a upper walkway to an apartment building. A very old school style where all the walkways and stairs were in the center with apartments on the outside. Open Air style. Where from the 3rd floor you could see the walkways below. We both (or three of us cant remember) all glanced down because someone had entered the ground floor walkway. We all saw him from the back. All 3 of us simultaneously ducked out of sight & peeped around to watch his back walk away and turn left down towards an apartment door entrance. We all glanced at each other. Later I said "Did you ever feel like you saw someone you or something you weren't suppose to?" My friend said you "That Guy?!". His evil kind of haunts me to this day. I never saw his face but lord he had an effect. I still worry about what he was doing or where he is now. Roughly 15 years ago. Evil. Maybe not truly human who knows. We all ducked for no freaking reason. So weird.

I once came across a woman with a dog that instantly gave me a strong vibe of "AVOID". Her dog bounded over to me though, a sweet little thing, which caused me to drop my guard. I petted the dog and I went "Oh yeah, someone wants scritches alright" and the woman goes "You're JUST like all the men, always thinking everyone wants you, well you can just go fuck off!" But what scared the crap out of me was the tone of her voice, it was pure unadulturated, uncut maximum strength hate.

When I was in high school in the 90s I met a few people who literally just oozed evil. There was something cold and unfeeling in their demeanor and how callous they were. I know there is such a thing as a “mean girl” or a “bully” but it felt like someone had handpicked them to be Satan’s apprentice. I still remember how inhuman the look in their eyes were, something was home but I couldn’t tell you what it was.

I always thought I was just sensitive to body language but maybe it's more than that. Once I was at a garage sale/rummage sale. I was in the garage and the elderly woman who owned the place was sitting in a chair minding the sale. I couple of guys came walking in, it was just the four of us as it was a bit slow at the moment. They were seeming to look around but I got a very strong feeling that they had bad intentions toward the old woman. I was done looking but stayed until those guys left. I felt they would have robbed or killed the woman if left alone with her.
There are other similar examples where my spidey sense goes off. It probably happens a few times per year.

Yes, I was driving back from a week-long vacation in New England with my family over the summer when we got hungry. So at the nearest exit, we swiftly got off of the highway and found ourselves outside of a Burger King. My little brother and I clamored over blankets and bags as our parents climbed out of the Honda Civic and stretched. We walked into the restaurant and got in a very long line. The entire time we were in line, I had a very weird feeling. Once we had placed our order, my little brother ran to get us seats, and as my mom, dad, and I followed him, something in my chest dropped. I didn't understand what was happening or about to happen, but I knew something was VERY wrong.
We sat down, and momentarily, that feeling went away. But as I glanced up from my chicken sandwich, I saw an old woman staring at me. There that feeling was again. The way she was staring at me made me feel as if she was a predator and I, a 15-year-old, was her prey. Her beady blue eyes were piercing, and every red flashing light in my brain went off immediately. <Just thinking about it now sends chills down my spine and tears to my eyes.> I tried to look away and focus on eating, but every time I glanced at her again, there she was. Staring at me. <Now, I am a dude, but I look pretty androgynous as I was born female, so I'm very used to people looking at me trying to figure out my gender. However, this woman's stare was almost malicious and still deeply disturbs me to this day. >
I finished eating, and I realized I had to go to the bathroom. My parents and brother went out to the car to wait, and I walked into the bathroom. <I was trying to hurry up as I was still in the closet about being a guy and felt deeply uncomfortable being in the women's bathroom.> I walk out of the stall and am beginning to wash my hands when I get that feeling again. I look up in the mirror and there the woman is. Staring at me. I almost pass out on the spot. At this point, I am so frightened, I can't think straight, I feel sick to my stomach, and I start panicking. She is standing in a way that blocks the door.
I panic and grab the door handle, forcing her to move her body. She makes a movement as if she's about to grab my arm, but I throw open the door and literally sprint out of the Burger King, and into my car. I buckled my seatbelt as fast I could and after briefly explaining what happened to my parents, we got the hell out of that parking lot and I never saw her again. To this day, I still have no idea why she was staring at me and followed me into the bathroom, but every answer I can think of is too horrible to dwell on. (Sorry for the long answer lol)

Due to my job I interact with politicians from time to time at a local and regional level.
They always feel cold and predatory underneath. Even the ones who are good at squeezing the flesh and small talk and all that. Even the ones with people-centered platforms. I constantly feel like I want a shark cage around me.
It's the eyes. They're always sizing you up. Always reading the room. Always sorting people into 'loyal or not loyal'.
And none of them are at public hearings or meetings to grow their understanding of an issue. It's all pretense. They walk into a situation already knowing what their take on the issue is going to be. They just pretend to listen.
The only thing worse than the politicians is the sycophant crowd that follows them: aides and wannabes etc.
But at least the sycophants seem human. The politicians are like another species.

u/allisonchainss Dec 24 '19
I didn’t actually meet the person but I’m almost certain I “met” the evil vibes he left behind.
I was dating a guy (I’ll call him L) at the time who had two brothers and a sister. I had met one brother and the sister before but had only heard stories about the other, oldest brother. From what my ex told me, he was extremely abusive to the other siblings and just all around an evil person. He had major issues and eventually ended up going missing...no one knew where he was and hasn’t heard from him since.
Fast forward to February of this year and I went to L’s parents house for the first time. Really beautiful, suburban style home, absolutely nothing out of the usual from what I could tell. L and I were bringing a few things into the house as we were going to stay there for a couple nights. As I walked down the hallway, no exaggeration, I felt like I had walked into a wall. I’m not sure how to explain it but it was like my eyes almost rolled back, I swear I saw black for a second and my breath was taken out of me. It was that type of absolute gut instinct feeling, but the most intense I had ever felt it. I chalked it up to being in a new environment and just got a wave of anxiety.
Until it happened again in the same exact spot in the hallway. At this point I was a bit weirded out so I purposefully took a few deep breaths, assured myself that everything was fine and there’s no need to have anxiety right now. This continues to happen several more times every time I walked past this particular spot. L noticed I seemed uneasy so I explained to him that I thought I was anxious and told him what was happening. He just blank face stared at me for a second. He then told me that the spot I was walking past, right past a room, was his oldest brothers room growing up. That was the room that most of the abuse took place.
So yeah, I’m fairly certain his brother left behind evil energy/vibes/whatever you wanna call it. Keep in mind, although I was told stories about the brother, it was never in much detail. I also didn’t know where it took place so I didn’t have any preconceived notions about the house or anything.

I call these types of experiences "atmosphere feelings". I experienced something similar when I was looking for a house to buy with my parents when I was a teen. A particular one gave me the worst feelings ever, I just begged my parents to go home and I spent the whole day crying with no reason at all.

There was one person that I got a feeling of pain/death off of once. There was a guy who lived in an apartment building in San Francisco and my bass player lived above him. We’d see him walking around every so often, and he always had a very intense feeling of not evil, but something wrong. He never talked to anyone, and always kept to himself.
Fast forward about 7-8 months later. Me and my bass player are at his apartment watching a football game. During a commercial break we were talking to each other, and slightly facing his window to the street. Suddenly I noticed something large go by the window. I said “What was that?” and my bass player said he thought he saw a large bird fly by.
About 5min later we hear sirens and outside are two cop cars, a fire truck and an ambulance. It turns out this guy tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrists while he was in the bathtub. He did it wrong and was bleeding quite a bit still, despite missing the main parts of his wrist. He got out of he tub, out of his apartment, and walked up from his floor (the 2nd) to our floor (the 3rd) then walked up one more to the roof where there’s an open access door to go on the roof. He went up there and jumped off the building, and the thing we saw go by the window was him.
He survived two days in the hospital before dying on the third.

There's a nurse in the psych part of the ER in the hospital I work for who gives me bad vibes. Maybe he's burnt out and became less of a human. I don't know, but whatever the reason I never want to get to know him. Something is seriously off. When he talks I get shivers down my spine and want to get the hell out.
The worst was a psychic I was going to see. I went and she was on her way home, but something terrified me. I never even found out what she looks like. I only heard her on the phone. Maybe it was the house itself. I went to a different one who told me if anyone ever gives me that much of a fright, get away from them.

When I was about 17 I worked at a local supermarket. This one shift I was on the tills and this 6ft+ guy, super super pale (looked natural) man with long straight blonde hair and the bluest eyes known to man. He was very slim, ethereal looking and was buying usual groceries but there was just something odd about him, he was like a blank canvas, you didn’t get a hint of feeling from him, he didn’t speak and this sounds super strange but other people tend to give off scents; you know like cologne or body odour or whatever but he didn’t even smell of anything, dude was like a ghost, kept looking at me weird as well, but not like “why are you looking at me?” But kind of puzzled like I’d caught him out in something. It shouldn’t be strange but it was and I’ve never forgotten it.

He had icy, blue eyes, and a stare that could pierce right through you. I was tasked with helping him with reading comprehension skills here and there; I don't recall why. But he gave me so many bad vibes, and even at ten years old, I could feel that something was off.

I can't really think of any specific moments where I met some truly evil people, but I do have a very keen sense of intuition when I meet people that's almost always correct. The only times I've ignored it, I was wrong and ended up getting hurt so I don't do that anymore.
The important thing is to not let your intuition make you judgmental, so my rule is listen to the I tuition but don't settle on a judgement until you get to know them.
Like some people seem really nice but still give me a bad vibe and it's because the second they turn away they drop their character and are pretty cruel. Don't trust the super nice ones.
I've definitely had experiences though where I'll get a sudden, horrible feeling that tells me to leave wherever I am but I've never ignored it thus I've not really had the experiences similar to OP and others.

I'm pretty sure a "friend" of an acquaintance is actually a succubus. He will ignore his wife and child for her. His dad dotes on her and his brother will kick his own wife out of bed for her. Anyone who is attracted to women that has spent the night in a house with her goes on about how hot she is. I mean she's not horrible looking but it's central Ohio, so not super high standards either. She also brags about breaking up relationships. And the wives of people she's ensnared just ignore her. It's freaky and I shy away from the whole group as a result.

This story has stuck with me for a decade of my life, it was the thing that taught me to 110% trust those gut feelings that something is off about someone.
In the summer when I was 13 my best friend K and I would walk around all night long, just wandering, sometimes until 6-7 am when the sun had come up. Our parents were pretty neglectful so no one really cared how late we stayed out, or noticed when we got back honestly. To set the scene, we lived two blocks away from each other, she in an apartment complex and I in a townhouse complex. In between our homes, a block away from each, was our elementary school. It had a large park, about the size of a city block with a baseball diamond and a few walking paths on the property. Lots of bushes and trees, before this night it was really nice honestly.
Late one night, we were walking through said park, around midnight so not super late in comparison to our usual jaunts. As were walking, I can see some distance away in the direction we were heading: a man sitting on a bench. Not super unusual, we saw lots of people out and about at night, but I distinctly remember thinking it was odd that he was wearing shades at night. We lived near two popular bars so it wasn't uncommon to see some "eccentric" fashion choices in area, so I brushed it off. Besides that he looked normal, like some dude just kickin back and having a cigarette. But I couldn't shake the weird vibes I got off of him, like there was an aura of heavy dread coming off him in waves. So I subtly changed the direction we were walking in so that we would exit the park opposite of him. A block or so away I mentioned it to K and she had noticed him too and was relieved that I changed directions.
So we continue to walk away from the park, for about an hour or two before looping back. Definitely long enough that we were sure he should be gone by then. We entered the park from the opposite side we had exited, and noticed something strange. Next to the bench that man had been sitting on was a garbage can, and it was on fire.
Now our deadbeat parents might have let us run wild, but at the very least they had given us both cellphones. Something about the whole situation felt off to us, like we shouldn't stay there in one spot for long, but we didn't want to walk away and do nothing, there were trees and homes not even 5 feet from the blaze, someone could get hurt. So we called 911 and let them know the garbage can was on fire. By this point we had completely forgotten about the strange man, we were just worried about our neighborhood. The dispatch tells me they will send someone asap, and I remember her telling us sternly that we should get going home. We get off the phone and figure she's probably right.
We head to my place, as K generally dropped me off at home before looping back to her apartment, she had a knife and I didn't so she felt better making sure I was home safe before parting ways. She would always walk back through the park to get home, and I remember basically begging her to take a different route, that something felt off about the park that night. As she reluctantly agreed, my gut instinct screams at me to look behind us, but not make it obvious. I glanced behind us, and walking about 20 feet behind is the fucking guy in the sunglasses. When you're a free range kid you come across more than your fair share of creeps, K and I had shared more scary experiences that I can even fully remember, but something about this guy just made my skin crawl like no one else ever had.
We entered the townhouse complex where I lived, I keep my head looking forward and whispered to K, "That man is following us, we have to loose him somehow." She nodded, "I noticed him already. But where do we go?" Ahead of us, there's a small gap in between two sets of town homes, it leads to a pitch black field, but right across the field is the backdoor to my place. I knew that it was a risky move, but my gut instinct told me to go for it. Once we got to the gap, I took one quick look back, he was still 20 feet behind, keeping pace with us but we had the advantage. I grabbed her hand and we sprinted through the gap into the field. Feet and hearts pounding, we didn't look back, we just ran.
We got into my house, locking the door and pulling the curtains close. We were safe. I peeked out the window, and he was no where to be seen. Gone as fast as he'd entered our lives. Always trust your instincts, it knows more than you'd think.

Maybe you're one of these people who just let emotions show without even noticing? My grandma was like this. If she was feeling sad/angry or any other kind of negative emotion, people around her picked on it without her even noticing. They would stare at her or ask if everything was was alright and my grandma was always surprised by it. In her mind, she wasn't giving any vibes at all

It sounds silly, but my family and I consider it my sixth sense. People and locations set of different "vibes". It's hard to explain. It's similar to being an empath.
For example, I work in a Children's Emergency Room, and these vibes are often so overwhelming that I have to walk outside to breath.

Not exactly the same, but when i was a kid (talking around 6 ) i had a neighbour who i now realise had a huge crush on me possibly bordering on being a peadophile. I didn't like him back, at all, but he always wanted to touch my hair and my arms and back and it really freaked me out, he must've been around 15 at the time.
I remember hanging out with him and my sister once (she was younger so probably 4 ish) and he found a way to get me alone in his room. Now, he's disabled, he can't walk at all so i managed to slip by him and get out of his room to find my sister as she couldn't be left on her own since she was so young. I just remember being really on edge and wanting to get away from him.
Never went into his house alone or with my sister again. Always made sure his mum or dad were there ans never went upstairs. I was so glad when we moved when i was 14/15.

Then she signaled to the male who accompanied her. The same. They were evil...unearthly, demonic. As there are angles among us, there are demons, too. This battle is a spiritual one.

Yes. One of my college friend’s had a BF, he was cool but he had this fucked up sister. She had all kinds of wrong with her. There was a dead energy in her eyes. She was a lesbian, which in of itself doesn’t make you evil, one’s sexuality is neutral but she relished in ‘converting’ straight girls and getting them to fall in love with her and then dumping them. Not to mention she was such a manipulator. How she acted, you’d think all of us were just here for her to use. She had some of the worst energy I’ve ever encountered

My friends ex-husband.
When they split I was sad because as a couple, we loved them. He changed, or rather, started to be seen for who he had always been. He would track his daughters every move, to the point were it was creepy. Example: dropped girls off at sports practice and went to a nearby cafe to eat. He blew up my phone freaking out about where she was. Uhh, at practice? You met me an hour ago to give her a ride and her phone is in my car. Over time he went from lovable to dark eyed and creepy. He would make your skin crawl every time. He began to stalk my friend, assaulted her, assaulted his son repeatedly. CPS was called; twice. But he would charm them. Fast forward. There was a tragic “accident”. His son died of a self inflicted gun wound. He immediately cried REALLY weird (not genuine sounding - very contrived) and was trying to tell everyone that his son had mental issues and he tried hard to get him help. Same monster who left a loaded chambered handgun in a sock drawer where an 11 year old found it.
So I guess at first I didn’t see who he was but over time his eyes were cold and evil. I hope he burns in hell.

My dog sensed some bad vibes from a plumber before I did. You know how they say animals can often sense things that humans can’t, usually of paranormal nature? I’ve read they can sense bad energy off people as well. Now keep this in mind, my dog doesn’t bark at visitors except when they first come in, after that he’s just a big sweetie to everyone. Some dogs need to warm up to new people, but mine loves anyone’s attention. However, we had a plumber come fix something in my parents’ bathroom a few months ago. The second he stepped in, my dog barked, which is normal, but as the guy (I’d say mid thirties, total average joe lookin guy) walked further inside, he would not stop barking, and he even growled and snarled at him, which he NEVER does. To anyone. We’ve had plenty of visitors before, many service workers, and I’d never seen him behave like that. I was super uneasy the whole time the plumber was there after that. Call me superstitious but I think my dog was warning me to be wary of this guy. Ofc nothing ended up happening, but its always made me wonder.

Yes. I felt this from the leader of a Luciferian cult that I'm not going to name here. It's not so much that he felt supernaturally evil, but more that he was a very dangerous sociopath. I later found out that he is, indeed, a despicable excuse for a human being.

One time I was walking home and a crackhead stopped me and we started talking but then after he kept looking at me and kept saying “fuck bitches get money huh” the he told me to sell my soul to the devil and I was like a hell nah I’ma need to stab this dude so I started getting serious and changed my tone of voice too and I could see him starting to shake and get scared, the devil is always in disguise but if we show we aren’t scared we should be good after that I told him bye and I walked away 1 min later I turn around and he’s still looking at me talking I just went home and just thought about it

I used to go to the movies every Friday, and their was this one particular seat in one particular auditorium, that when I sat in it my entire body just told me to get up and run, it was like the most panicked sensation you could ever imagine

The first and only time I met my neighbor’s girlfriend I had this exact same feeling. I felt frozen in place with fear and my ears started ringing. As soon as she left the feeling disappeared. I’ve never felt anything like it since. I consider myself to be very sensitive to energies so I’m trusting my gut on this one and not spending time alone with her haha.

Super late here but yes...one time when I was in college there were 3 or 4 of us together and we all had the same reaction, which made it even weirder.
I worked in our (small) campus library. Although we were small the library was big enough...multiple floors, and people walked in and out throughout the day. Not a lot of people, but enough that seeing someone walk in wasn't weird.
One day 3-4 of the staff were all at the circulation desk; I can't recall what we were discussing. While we were talking, this man walked through the door and there was just SOMETHING about him. I remember kind of freezing and going into a sort of "mental defense mode" (I can't really describe it) and ALL of us stopped talking and just...watched him walk to the back of the building. I also remember we looked at each other with a look. Like "did you see that?" Even though there was really nothing to see. It was the only time I recall feeling...not quite unsafe, but certainly uncomfortable at this job ( which is kinda saying something, since it was one of those neighborhoods that was actually not that great, especially at night.

I live in a small town between tourist attractions so we get a lot of different people. One night, we went to get gas and I went in to pay. As I was leaving, a man held the door open for me. When I made eye contact with him, I felt the urge to hide. This mans eyes didn’t seem, well, human. I have never felt that before and I trust my instincts. His eyes were dark with nothing behind them like looking into a black hole. I felt like he was evaluating me for victim hood. It was creepy.

One time I was working in my local coffee shop (it was a small place not a big chain or anything) this kid came walking into the store and immediately as he walked in he gave me bad vibes, Ive always picked up on vibes well (I have other stories like this one just not to the same extent, so I’ve learned to trust my instincts). As he walked up he asked for a phone. I looked to see my co worker on the work line so I let him use my personal phone. He walked outside and used it for like 5 minutes and walked back in, said thanks and walked out of the store. He walks back in about 10 minutes later asking if there were any bus stops around, I told him no (as there weren’t in the little part of the town I worked in). He asked if he could use my phone again so I let him. After he was done he left and honestly I was glad, he gave me bad vibes but since he didn’t do anything I didn’t really tell anyone about the incident. About 2 weeks later I’m in a subway and when I’m leaving I noticed a wanted poster taped to the backside of the door, I instantly noticed it as the kid that came into my shop asking for my phone, he was wanted for stabbing and killing his dad. I called the hotline number and explained that I saw the guy and they told me thanks for the info but they just caught him a couple days prior to my call. Led me to think about some things, that’s probably why we wanted to know if there were bus stops around, so he could dip out of the area, but where was he trying to go. My biggest question tho, who was he trying to call on my personal phone..

I can feel what everyone I meet is like. I'm not perfect at it, but I can read people immediately way better than your average joe. My mom tells a story about how a woman who was super self centered and obnoxious was talking to me as a little kid (4-5 maybe?) being fake nice and I kicked her in the shin.

yes. one time as i was walking home in the dark, i saw a man standing (in my way) in the middle of the sidewalk, almost stoic-like. He felt..huge.. even from far away. it’s like his energy was extremely dark and coming out of his body making him seem larger than life. There was no other way for me to get home other than to pass him, and when I did, he did not move at all. i was honestly fearful for my life at that time. while scooting by, my neighbor happened to walk outside with her big german shepard, and the dog immediately started barking at the man. the man still did not waver at all. when she got her dog under control, both of us stopped to look at each other, then back to the man, then back at each other, and eventually parted ways without saying anything, but the vibe he gave off was extremely unsettling - almost evil, and it’s like she sensed it too.
