Something strange is going on in my house, and now its took my IPV

[conanthewarrior]

Right.

In another thread I was explaining the strange things in my house, like a bible went missing when we moved in, none of us would go upstairs due to the feeling, but in the past 3 years, it passed. Upstairs feels fine now, and we all go up there. It still does not feel 'right' in the house though, and my mother and even my grandfather, who is not a timid man, sleeps with a light on, like me.

When i first received my IPV mini, I put it into my phone charger so I could use that to charge, wrapped the USB to phone connector around the charger, and put it in its normal storage space. I woke the next day, it was gone.

We searched the entier house, which is tidy, to no avail.

Yesterday I had my IPV D2, and switched it off and put it on my amplifier. I just went to try the TC vs the Xcube, and guess what? The IPV is GONE. It is not in my room.

It is not in the living room. It is not upstairs, its not even in the bloody toilet.

I am onto my 4th wall adapter, things were going missing before my brain injury so I know it is not related.

Now, I could take small things going missing, but it is really odd. Something will go missing, I will search everywhere with my mum, to no avail, then it will turn up in an obvious place we would of seen it.

Put it this way. The last thing to go missing was my Purple 2900mah Efests. The box was there, but it was empty. We searched high and low for them, no where to be found.

I went into my room and nearly shit myself when I found both batteries in the box, laying neatly in the middle of my bed, with nothing else around it.

My family is not the type to play pranks. They think they are horrible, so It is not that 100%.

I am trying to think of a logical explanation, but can think of none.

Anyone with any advice would be great, wether you believe in this sort of thing or don't, it IS happening and I don't know how to stop it. Before it was a mild annoyance, but now £50 mods going missing is really taking the mick.

I actually am getting scared in my own home, my mum is aswell as she has said a few things have happened lately, but she never tells me as she knows it will make my anxiety/fear worse.

I do suffer from severe anxiety, could something be feeding off this? I sound and feel crazy typing this, but my whole family has helped me, and it is no where.

I am not religious, but I have put a bible in every room.

 

[Discobob]

Maybe your mum is sneaking a vape

But really I don't know I'm not religious or superstitious gatta be some sort of explanation....

 

[IML8]

Clearly, this is something you've taken seriously, so I'm not going to belittle your perceived experiences with accusations of irrationality.

Throughout history there have been reports from highly credentialed, well respected and very credible sources who have experienced phenomenon that defy conventional materialistic explanations.

As someone who was classically trained in the "hard sciences" at university, all I can say is science doesn't know what it doesn't know. It can be fun to speculate and construct plausible hypotheses, but scientists are not the supreme grand arbiters of truth. Mysteries abound and to assert that eventually there will definitely be a materialistic solution, as we define it today, to every one of them is itself nothing more than a statement of faith. That's not to say scientists shouldn't be looking for explanations grounded in terms of physics and mathematics, but rather that they shouldn't project their worldview onto their investigations. It could be that science will someday discover the mechanisms by which other dimensions overlap and interact with the four we are familiar with. We can't rule it out.

Hallucinatory lysergide poisoning is a thought. Have you been exposed to ergot recently? Mass hysteria explains why the whole family suffered as well. These are just the rambling of a rationalizer trying to make paranormal experiences normal ones i suppose. Try having the place blessed by a preist, or call a local medium to try to commune with thr spirits. Or talk to them ypurself telling them "you are dead move on into the light".

Buy a strong box with a lock, put your gear in it and keep the key on a lanyard around your neck. Give no one else a copy of the key.

Despite your claim that your family hates pranks, this seems like a "Gaslighting" scenario, especially with the batteries suddenly making their way back into the box and onto the center of your bed. If you want to find out where your stuff is going, keep it in one area in your room, get a tiny spy camera and focus it on your gear. Tell no one about the camera, not even your GF, friends, or family. When something goes missing, look over the footage from the spy cam.

Not saying I'm a disbeliever, but this is always a good idea just to make sure someONE isn't trying to rattle your nerves, rather than someTHING. But as far as a paranormal happening, yes, I do believe in those. Happens to my mother all the time, the last event involving a pair of missing shoes, still in the box. She's searched high and low, to no avail. And she lives alone.

 

[hertigg]

Is it possible you ar ejust forgetful and misplaced things or put them somewhere you didn't remember. That seems to be the most logical conclusion. I don't think of myself as a forgetful person, but I will sometimes be looking for soemehting where I was 100% sure I left it, and my daughter will inform me that she saw me put it somewhere else and sure enough it is in another place that I have no memory of putting it there.

 

[conanthewarrior]

Ok the charger that went missing last night turned up in my medication bag that I use 4 times a day and only has one section, along with the IPV cable. I now have 2 wall chargers and IPV cables.

I am glad I got a new wall charger though as the old one would not allow my to use my phone whilst on charge, the ground was all messed up on it (It come like it) The new one is safer anyway, so kind of glad that happened.

Maybe I have a friendly problem lol and it was warning me not to use that charger with the IPV.

I can do the spy camera thing and buy a box, but I have too much to keep around my neck lol. I know my mum or grandfather would not do it, and I do not believe my partner would, I've been with her for coming up 5 years and we don't do stuff like that. Maybe I sleepwalk is logical?

When I can afford a tiny camera I will install it and tell no one, and also get a lockable box.

Also, what is 'gaslighting' by the way? I feel like I am losing my mind due to this.

I am brain damaged, but am well recovered, and it is making me worried the damage is worse than I thought or I am losing my sanity?

My grandfather couldn't be doing the pranks as we care for him as he has had a stroke with left side weakness, he can walk but only slowly with a stick, and can not walk quietly. He also finds nothing funny, and never enters my room as he knows its my private place.

I AM on heavy sleeping pills, and will not rouse during the night. It is VERY hard to wake me, you have to physically lift me and shake me to wake me now, for example I fell asleep during a horror film last week, even the loud scenes did not wake me as I accidentally took double my dose for that time of day, which would be what I take at night.

I walked home from the cinema like I was drunk, people probably though I was too, but I do not drink anymore as I can not if I want to actually make it to 30.

I genuinely am scared now, this is not a prank thread, and I don't know what to do.

 

[conanthewarrior]

well a bible in every room will do you no good if you don't believe,its just another book other wise .what if the spirits are good ???

after my great grandpa died ,my dad bought the house ,when i was about 4-5 dad decided it was time for me to have my own room upstairs ,it was empty till then .
my room was right at the top of the stairs and i had no door ,every night after i laid down to sleep,those old wood stairs would creak.as if somebody was walking up the stairs ,they would stop at the top of the stairs for a few minutes and then walk back down ,the creaking would stop at about half way down the stairs ,this went on for years every night without fail !!

after several weeks of being scared to death from it,i finally figured out it was great grandpa coming up to check on me,because my parents never did

Well I do believe in god, I am currently doing a bible study to learn WHY the stories of the bible happened, and I think I am slowly coming to realise it is possible, after finding everything I have been told to not be a lie by doing my own research.

Like there is so many religions, and everyone believes their one is the true religion, I kind of believe there is some truth in all of them, but also lots of lies, and the true parts from each religion could make up the one true story of god.

Thats one of the things that happened upstairs. My mum goes next door everynight to the neighbours (he is in his 90s and a good friend to my mum). Me and my grandad who is deaf as a door knob would clearly hear someone STAMPING around upstairs, not walking. Even the stairs could be heard up and down. Thats why I believe your story about the stairs as I have experienced that first hand.

We live in a type of house in the UK called a 'Chalet bungalow' it is everything downstairs like a bunglaow, but one massive room upstairs (Ours is a games room with pool table and dart board and barbilliard table and such) and there is a door to the loft. The loft spans quite far, I installed a lock on the door a couple of months ago as me and my fiancee have started to use the bed upstairs, but the door to the loft creeped her out, and it did be a bit, so I just put a lock on it, the sliding type you get in a toilet so It can only be opened from the outside.

I have no idea if I have been exposed to ergot, I gather that is a hallucinogen? I know lots of drugs due to my previous life (not past life, but I was basically reborn on the 24th April last year, into a better person, with a very similar personality, but also have grown some balls after they figured out I had hypogonadism due to my pituatiry gland not releasing testosterone, which was causing my extreme anxiety, which lead to my alcoholism and drug abuse, self medicating they said.

Since I am on the monthly anabolic steroids, I have became a man finally and understand standing my ground ETC. but this is different, in a scary way)

I have said anyone here who is here to protect me or friendly is welcome to look after us, but if you are bad I command you to leave.

I do have brain damage which affected my memory but the doctors said I had improved much, and it is only now really my emotions that are affected. Maybe it is worse than that and it is me? I'm worried it is that or I am losing my mind and have a split personality, how ever irrational that may sound.

I think the camera in my room and locked box is the best Idea. I just need to find a big chest or box with a lock on it, for cheap, or something similar only I can get into. Also a small camera, but I can get one cheap on ebay hidden in a clock or something like that.

 

[IML8]

I don't think you have any reason to be fearful, Conan, but only have a puzzle to try and solve.

Until you can get the camera, It might be a good idea to start carrying a notepad and developing very deliberate habits, a schedule of sorts, of when and where you place your items and making notes of it marking the time and location and any anomalous occurrences. If you do this for several weeks and the issues subside, It may indicate you were just having lapses in memory. If it doesn't answer your questions, at least you will have begun to systematically track the anomalies and possibly be able to identify some correlations.

Shift gears to Conan Doyle rather than Conan the Warrior.

 

[Huckleberried]

Sleep walking, sleep eating, even sleep driving have been common side effects of certain sleep aids. Some people have fully functioned with no recollection on certain ones. I don't say this to doubt what you're going through, not at all. Just putting it out there. I, too, hope you figure out the events.

Based on that definition, I'd like to think that Conan's family is very supportive of him. It sure sounds like they are, to me. I don't like that definition

Gaslighting comes from the 1944 Ingred Bergman film "Gaslight". It is a form of trickery and abuse that has the victim doubt their sanity. A simple example is someone taking your wallet or keys and not telling you about it while you frantically search for them, getting frustrated and angry. The wallet or keys will appear later in a place your normally place them, while your abuser silently gloats at being able to make your angry and frustrated, sometimes making comments at how your lack a sound mind.

This situation happened to a friend of mine a number of times. He put 2 and 2 together when he was meeting with me for a pint after work. He glued a RFID chip in his leather key fob and put a card with a RFID chip in his wallet. He purchased at near field RFID scanner that clipped onto his smartphone. When his keys went missing, he calmly walked from room to room in the house until the scanner beeped (within 1 meter from the chip) and found his keys hidden in his wife's closet. The next time when his wallet went missing, he did the same thing, except this time when he walked past his wife in the kitchen, the RFID scanner beeped. She had his wallet in her front jean pocket. Not a good situation. Apparently this situation happened when he was going out golfing with his buddies, or going out to the lake to go fishing. His wife had some problems and was incredibly controlling. Sadly they are no longer married. To Martin, the gaslighting abuse was the last straw in a troubled marriage.

 

[conanthewarrior]

Well, my family are very, very supportive, and I doubt that they would want to cause them symptoms in me as they know it is genuinely distressing me, and they know I suffered from severe anxiety and after nearly dying last year, last rites and all, I do not believe they would do it.

BUT, I am doubting my memory, sanity and perception. So it sounds like gaslighting. If spirits exist, I guess it is possible that one could cause 'gaslighting'?

I don't even know If I believe in things like that. The camera in the room is going to have to be done, along with the locked box. Anyone got any ideas where I could get a fairly big sized lockable chest/box in the UK?

The camera will either show me doing it and it is simply my brain damage, which I will be OK with. But it was getting better my memory, I do not want to lose it again.

If it is something we can not explain, that would show up too wouldn't it? Like a pack of batteries appearing on the bed from a different area with both batteries in, when before the box was empty and on my amp?

I really, really hope this is not my partner. I have her back after the issues she had, if I found she was doing this I would have to end that, I genuinely am questioning my sanity. It DOES sound exactly like that, something is not where it should be, but turns up there later.

It was also my fiancee who found my charger and cable in my medication box, and laughed and said see it was there the whole time, I did tell you i put them there. But then why did she not tell me when I was looking for them, she said she had forgot?

I really need to get a camera. I hate being suspicious of the person I love more than anything and we both talk of our futures together, so I do not see what she would gain from this? She does have mental health issues, but they are controlled.

I am actually kind of hoping it is paranormal now and something that we can not explain to the alternative. Nearly 5 years together, spend most of our time together, I would not understand what she would get from it, but I have clicked it has always been when she is round, I can not think of a time she hasn't and it happening.

Earlier it was a small thing, I took my subtank apart to refill, put the drip tip to the right so I coult stand it upside down without holding to fill, I turned to get my juice and it was gone. My fiancee was in the room but swears it was not her and she would not do this to me.

 

[AmandaD]

Look for the most logical explanation

Edited to say - not your fiancee!

 

[Zamazam]

I'd be careful going down that path Conan. Get a lockbox when you can afford it for peace of mind.

 

[conanthewarrior]

I've realised she would have to have superhuman speed to be doing it, as I turned round for a split second turned back and was gone.

My mum thinks it is probably a combination of logical explanations, just culminating into what seems like strange occurences.

When you say about going down that path, do you mean the camera? Or suspecting family?

I will definitely be getting a lock box, just don't know where to get one cheap.

Conan, I wasn't going to post but felt the need, I think your Mum is right, I don't think anyone is taking your things, I don't think you need to worry about your partner or your family doing things like this, trust your mum. As an added comfort get a lock box!! Hugs Tina

Suspecting the GF...

 

[cage]

I've been reading this thread since you started it as I've dealt with supernatural/unexplained phenomenon all of my life. The disappearance of objects can sometimes be explained. For example, loosing your keys only to find them in the weirdest of places - the freezer. But when you think back upon your actions, when you opened the freezer you put the keys down to put away your groceries. I've also lost things in plain sight, like a brand new mod on the desk I was sitting at. That time my eyes were playing tricks on me as the black mod blended in with the black speaker and black monitor bezel.

And then sometimes, things are found in such odd places that defy logic. Growing up, my dad had 5 brand new pair of jeans simply go missing after my mom had washed them and hung them up. Jeans are not inexpensive and we tore the house apart looking for them. He blamed my sisters and I for doing something with them even though we hadn't. But simplest conclusion right? Fast forward several months and he and I were pulling some new electrical wiring. He went up into the attic (a place only accessible through a hatch in a closet where you had to bring a ladder in to access) to drill a hole when he discovered a neatly FOLDED stack of 5 pair of brand new CLEAN jeans in a far corner. Considering that a person would have had to have grabbed a ladder, got across the unfinished attic by stepping on the trusses without leaving a mark in the insulation (blown in....not the roll in stuff), and placed the jeans without stirring up dust, I have to seriously look to the supernatural.

Anyways, first and foremost, look to the obvious. A camera and lock box will help in eliminating some basic things. Funny thing about cameras though, whatever you want to capture in this type of case is rarely captured. You mentioned odd things going on in the house before and about the attic hatch opening. It never hurts to have a blessing done on the house. You can do it during a point of good spirits, such as a reunion, an anniversary, or holiday as this will keep people from going "Eh?!" Or you can live with it.

 

[skiball]

I'd burn a bundle of sage and walk through the hole house with it. Going in every corner of every room. Might not get your mods back but should help with the creepy feelings you get in the house.

 

[conanthewarrior]

I do not suspect my GF/future wife, as she has just had to go to work without her SIg50 and subtank. She was using it one minute, now its gone.

I did tell her don't expect to find it today, you might have to borrow one of mine for a few days.

Also, we are very close and I am free to go through her bag when/if I need something out of it, its not in there, we checked all her pockets, my pockets, but its gone.

Next payday I am buying A lockable box, that only I have the key too, plus a camera of some type to film my room. I will inform her I am doing it to find out whats going on, she will be fine with that.

I am telling her as I am not cool with suspecting who I love and who loves me of mentally torturing me, literally thinking I AM losing my mind or have another personality that is doing these things, plus I don't want to secretly record her.

We talk about everything, I would feel like I am severely breaking our trust by secretly filming her/any family members who enter my room (Only my mum to hang my trousers in the wardrobe. She does not go through my stuff, never has, never will, she trusts me even though I was a drug addict, probably because I never stole to fund my habit and would rather go through withdrawal than steal from my family).

I've known my mum 25 years, my grandad the same time, and her for nearly 5 and I know her more than she knows herself if I am honest, and it is not her. For some reason, who/whatever is moving my stuff seems to like high power batteries. That or its a ghost who enjoys a vape, nicks mine for a few days and gives it back lol.

I will try the sage thing actually, my mums cool with that. I've seen lots of people do it too, plus when strange things started happening my local church said I can have holy water, and the priest will bless my house if I want.

Call me a religitard if you want, but I do believe in god, and ALSO the sciences. I believe god to live in a different dimension to us where time is non existant, and he or she is not like anything we imagine. He could be playing a game of sims for all we know, and there are many different players and worlds (Like the many worlds theory in science), and are all 'gods' to their people.

 

[Stepinrazor]

The sleep walking theory mentioned above seems the most plausible.

My betting is that if you do manage to set up a video camera, just leave your laptop camera if you have one on record in the corner of the room and playback every morning. The lockable box is also an excellent idea.

 

[conanthewarrior]

That, is a bloody fantastic idea. I don't know how it performs, but due to past experiences all the adults in the house sleep with a light on, so I think that might just work.

Now, if I see someone standing over my bed just staring at me for hours while I sleep, I am getting an excorsist lol.

But in all seriousness, if it is not sleepwalking or me just forgetting, I will get the house blessed. If I do not sleepwalk (I never have before so would be odd, but I suppose I am a different person now with the monthly anabolic steroids and the mild brain damage plus mirtazapine and diazepam and methadone) I will get a small camera that takes an SD card, high enough definition to make things out, and if things move in my sleep I will be glad I have my sanity, but also sleep in the lounge until the place is blessed.

I do wonder if putting that lock on the loft door could of offended something. We sleep on the sofa bed upstairs, but live in a chalet bungalow so it is one big room, then a half size door next to the bed into the loft. Me and Cheyenne found it freaky, so I put a lock on it.

 

[conanthewarrior]

We found Cheyennes sig 50 and subtank. It was at her house. Because of my memory issues I THOUGHT she had had it at my house after she had been to her dads, but had not.

I feel more at ease now knowing this is probably logical. But also very sad I am not as well as I thought I was.

I am pretty sure now it IS me who is the problem. I do not know if I have developed a mental health issue, or its just how I am going to be from now on. I do have to leave notes everywhere if I am honest, I was lying to myself that I was well when I am clearly not.

I am getting a lockbox so things won't go missing, but I do not believe the camera will be any benefit.

Unfortunately, I have realised the real, logical explanation is me. I am on multiple medications that also affect your memory, such as Diazepam, Mirtazapine and methadone (Yes, I was a junkie at my lowest point. I was injecting wherever I could find a vein, the main ones are gone and I had resorted to going into smaller veins in my hands, that was before I was almost literally born again, a similar person but with slight changes. I changed and have not used since the 23RD April which is my birthday, and the day I was admitted into hospital into the most painful, terrifying thing I have ever done, alcohol detox and experienced seizures and delerium tremens with hallucinations that I could not distinguish from reality).

There is nothing paranormal here. I just think I need real help.

 

[cage]

Amazon has some inexpensive but good quality IP cameras (wired or wireless) and you can get some free open source IP software to record to a computer. Make sure that you get a camera that has IR capabilities and low lux levels so that you can record in black & white at night (and in near total darkness).

 

[Teresa P]

Aw, Sweet, there are down sides to any treatment of conditions one may have. You just have to learn to deal with them. Getting a bit forgetful due to necessary medication doesn't make you crazy, it's just a side effect to work with. You're fine, don't beat yourself up over this. Not your fault.

We found Cheyennes sig 50 and subtank. It was at her house. Because of my memory issues I THOUGHT she had had it at my house after she had been to her dads, but had not.

I feel more at ease now knowing this is probably logical. But also very sad I am not as well as I thought I was.

I am pretty sure now it IS me who is the problem. I do not know if I have developed a mental health issue, or its just how I am going to be from now on. I do have to leave notes everywhere if I am honest, I was lying to myself that I was well when I am clearly not.

I am getting a lockbox so things won't go missing, but I do not believe the camera will be any benefit.

Unfortunately, I have realised the real, logical explanation is me. I am on multiple medications that also affect your memory, such as Diazepam, Mirtazapine and methadone (Yes, I was a junkie at my lowest point. I was injecting wherever I could find a vein, the main ones are gone and I had resorted to going into smaller veins in my hands, that was before I was almost literally born again, a similar person but with slight changes. I changed and have not used since the 23RD April which is my birthday, and the day I was admitted into hospital into the most painful, terrifying thing I have ever done, alcohol detox and experienced seizures and delerium tremens with hallucinations that I could not distinguish from reality).

There is nothing paranormal here. I just think I need real help.

That sounds like you've come to the right conclusion. Now that you are aware, it might be easier to pay attention when you put things down - train yourself to pay attention. Or have one spot only that you work on things or put things, and don't fiddle with your equipment anywhere but that one place. Good luck - and I wouldn't be overly concerned about this. This of this as preparation for when you're older and you lose stuff all the time LOL

All jokes aside, get a camera setup and monitor whats going on. I just watched on the news that a neighborhood cat literally roamed the neighborhood at night and collected stuff. Trash. Clothes. Items. Etc. So theres absolutely no telling what in the world is going on until you get it on video.

Dude if you are taking hard core sleep meds like ambien the walrus might be fucking with you.
Seriously sleep driving, eating and murder have taken place on hardcore sleep meds without the person being aware of anything going on.

F'ing hell. Serious? I know when I have taken my nightime dosage, I am wakeable, but it is hard, but once awake I can walk around, and do full things such as make something to eat, be up for an hour, and not know about it until my mum tells me. I'm not actually sleeping though, I am having whats known as a 'blackout' from real high dose benzodiazepenes.

I think now I know it is most likely me, I will get the camera more for fun to see what I get up to lol. Also, the lockable box Idea sounds great, If I give my mum the key at night or somewhere I am unlikely to go, I won't get to them and leave them in random places lol.

Take this for examply, my next door neighbour is 93 but has all his faculties. He had a crappy poundshop (Dollar store in the USA) torch, and wanted a new bulb for it, and it was only a month old. As he was showing it to me, one of my drip tips was in his bowl. I said "Dave(not his real name lol), thats a drip tip" so he asked what it was, I had my vape so showed him, he said "I guess thats yours then, when your mum goes in I have a smoke on my pipe, if I see something on the floor I just pick it up". I was quite happy as it was a drip tip I was very fond of, provides great flavour!

I explained to him his torch was poundshop rubbish, and the bulb would cost more than the torch, I then showed him my torches, from my TANK 007 Keyring torch (Still brighter than incandescant bulb torches by 10, it outputs around 84 lumens, 35 on mid, and the Small maglites put out EIGHT lumens) to my Convoy S2+ that puts out about 600 Lumens on High (Honestly, it lights up an unlit golf course with ease on that mode) and on Mid it puts out about 270. That is still super bright due to how the human eye works. I have a attactchment for my bike for that torch, and it is brighter than cvar headlamps, So they can not hit me and say 'I did not see him" lol.

I yesterday ordered him a single AA ( I did not want him having Li-ion batteries at his age, he can still use his hands with fiddly things, but I knew he would over discharge the batteries each time, I am just going to get him some panasonic ENELOOP NI-Cd's as well, and when ever the batteries run out swap them for him. That will probably put out over 100 Lumens, so is still super bright compared to what he is used to, and has a simple click on off button at the bottom. There is only 3 modes (5 actually, but I will turn off the strobe and SOS for him unless he wants them) and you choose them by just turning it off and back on to go to the next mode.

Guess how much this Cree torch, with a cree emitter, cost, from the UK, not china? FOUR POUNDS. From China it was £3, so for an extra pound, I will get it tommorow.

I will have to give him primary batteries for now (he only uses it if he drops his pipe in the bush in his garden when it is dark for example, because of his age he doesn't go out past 8PM really.

He is streetwise and carries a knife and always has his keys in his fist facing downwards, so he could smash them down hard with the points on to an attackers head. He also sometimes carries a baton lol. I have warned him as it is the UK if he says that knife is for defending himself he will get arrested, but he said "I was given a knife at the cub scouts, then a bigger one at the scouts, I have had one my whole life so I am not giving it up!

Now, that was a bit random but he is honestly the nicest bloke I know, so thought he deserved at least a small present ( My mum cooks for him everyday and they are best friends, its a bit sad though as it is her only actual friend, she is in her 60's and he is 93 so I am not sure how she will cope when the time comes, but I think he will make it to 100 easy).

 

[conanthewarrior]

Sorry for that essay above. I went a bit off course there.

 

[conanthewarrior]

Glad you found the mod Conan, and things are starting to make more sense.

Thanks whiskey. I am hoping its what the poster mentioned above, as I do get up during the night occasionally and make a sandwich, eat it, stay up for an hour, and have no memory of this in the morning.

I only know because my family tells me. I am not asleep during this, I have full conversations.

I am having blackouts from my sleeping meds.

I must also have a quick vape during these periods and not realise at all due to the heavy medication.

A locked box seems like a good idea for my own safety, as if I am blacked out (My mum assures me I am coherent and make sense, don't stumble about or anything) and put a battery on charge or something, that is not good.

The chargers are going in my mums room at night from now on until I get a box I can lock big enough to hold a 4 bay charger, 2 bay charger, 7 vapes (probably will be 12 regulateds before they regulate them in may) And over 20 batteries, Plus juices. The accessories are OK in a bag, I realise I must of left them alone as it is not easy to access, and if I am out of my face on Diazepam, Mirtazipine and my daily dose of methadone combined together, I probably can not get to where they are stored as its next to my wardrobe on top of my subwoofer for my stereo, I have to get on my hands and knees to get to that.

That explains why none of that was touched, but my mods, which are kept on my guitar amplifier right next to me bed, are lol.

I have looked online at my medication, and it can also cause memory problems during the day as well. I am glad it is probably NOT my brain damage getting worse, just a habit I have started as I have become accustomed to daily vaping, I do it when I wake for that hour.

It is also not every night I do it either, so that explains why its only every now and then.

A camera installed could show some funny footage, I want to see what I do during this time. If it is family friendly lol I will upload a video once I have got one if I do get up and start doing things. Could be quite entertaining for us all lol!

I am glad I am 99% sure we have it solved. I am actually laughing about it now, where as before I was near tears.

There is no ghost, just an extremely stoned me attempting to vape or something lol. Thinking of that, I best give my mum my mech/mechs at night as well from now on!

 

[conanthewarrior]

Well, I have been speaking to the UK vapers as they probably know where I can get a chest from. I am going for a combination lock, as it is 99.9% me, it is logical, but someone did say what if it IS actually something unexplainable and it steals the key? So another poster said a combination lock, that only I will know (a special date to me) will be good, no key to lose.

I just need a wooden box, even a toy box that I could paint with hinges that I can drill into and install the lock. My budget is £30, so the chests are far too expensive, they was about £100 for a real chest, so it will have to be a simple, large box.

My mum come up with the toybox idea, EDITED OUT: I used a bad description that just happened to be the height of my girlfriend, so thought best I change it in case people think I am wanting this chest to hide a body lol. About 3 and a half foot to 4 ft long, about 2 ft back, and about a foot-2 foot of depth.

Honest, I am not a psycopath as that sounds bad lmao , but just to give you an idea of the size I want lol.

I want it this size for as my collection grows, I will need more space, and have just the right space for that to fit, and It will look a lot neater than the bare radiator that is there (Dw, I will keep it at least a foot or so from the radiator so not to heat the mods).

lmao dude, this post is hilarious. IDK if you're messing with all of us, or you really are going through this. I would get some spy cameras, or even regular cameras (i'm sure your spirits don't know what a camera is) and start recording your rooms. Leave stuff around in the cameras view and check back at the end of the day.

If you find ghosts, POST THE VIDEO HERE!

Lol if you read the thread,, at first it was very serious and I was starting to question my sanity, someone mentioned gaslighting pranks which I had to find out what they were on here, and I was scared to sleep.

It was no joke, I actually swear that part on my nans grave (Her and my mum bought me up, while my grandad worked)

Someone then mentioned about my heavy sleeping medication and it all sort of fell into place, its a series of logical events with some that can be explained, the ghost is actually me lol!

Honest it was no joke to start with, but when I get payed (Week and 2 days) I will get a spy cam or night time cam as long as it is not more than say £60, as I need another mod too (Well not need, but you know what I mean ) to see what I actually do in the time I get up, thats if i DO get up. If its still happening when I have a camera up and a wooden box, then I think the thread will take a darker tone again.

But 90% sure its me oiut of my face waking up hungry and attempting to vape, then leaving them in strange places as they make sense.

That can't explain every situation, like the batteries, but maybe my mum found them or some thing and simly put them on my bed like she normally would for me, and just forgot to tell me, I did ask her but she said I honestly don't remember doing it but if I found them I would of put them on your bed for you, yes.

So probably a combination of family trying to help, and me lmao.

If I do find ghosts, after shitting my self several times I will upload a video. I think in a few weeks to a month you can expect a video of me at night doing the most odd things, I will have to uplload that as well if it is me, it was causing me real distress, thought I was losing my mind ETC, it was a poster who suggested sleepwalking then someone else medication and it sort of immediately clicked, and I feel like the biggest donut to ever live on the globe lol.

 

[conanthewarrior]

Ok they are well wirthin my budget, less than £30, and a lovely, lovely, chest is a similar price. I will actually upload the chests that my choices are later, I don't know wether to go for simple or an ornate 18th century style box, with I think 6 smaller compartments on the right, and on the left is a large space to keep everything.

 

[Fictitious Character]

This thread has a lot going on. I am waiting on the camera and lock box to be in effect to sort this out.

Good luck to you.

Thanks man. I am getting the lock box first, then a cam. I realised it is 100% me though, as I turned around the other day, to find my drip tip had 'dissapeared' that was right in front of me.I saw it on my amp, That then triggered a memory of me putting it there, its just most of the time because of the damage to the frontal lobe, I can not recall this information easily. Add prescribed high dose Diazepam (Valium), Mirtazipine at night for sleeping, and methadone (Yes I was a waster junkie on the pin, pinning up at least 3 times a day). I beat alcohol april the 23rd last year and got the brain damage during a seizure from no alcohol, and I have not used the pin since I started vaping, so 6 months or so to be honest.

This is one of the reasons I am so enthusiastic about vaping. I am not opiate free due to the methadone, but I am illegal drug free since the vaping as it gives me pleasure. Some people think I am a bit out of control all the stuff I buy, but this is the first time since 19 I have actually really been in control. Before that opiates and alcohol ruled my life. The song master of puppets sums up my life really. I went crawling faster to my masters everyday.

But, £30 a day on gear and drink, a £40-60 mod is cheap to me, and gives me months, probably years of enjoyment, where as the other stuff was just killing me. One of my good friends died of an overdose as a potent batch got brought down from London. It all comes from London and is mostly black gangs that take over vulnerable peoples houses giving them free drugs, and they get about 4 bases going. This is 25 miles to the east of London on somewhere called canvey island. It honestly has a severe drug problem, as my uncle worked for Hackneys antisocial behaviour unit (Hackney is a very dodgy area of London, I would not walk around there at night on an estate unless you want to lose a kidney and your wallet, or even get shot, and he told me Canvey has a worse class A drug problem and they are trying to close in on the suppliers) I was going to score with him, but I didn't as I was £2 short. I am so glad I was short, or `i would of joined him. He was 27. I am 25.

 

[IML8]

Brazen honesty is a rare commodity. Your forthrightness is admirable, Conan. Especially from one as young as you. Much respect.

...Yes, from my perspective, 25 is young.

 

[conanthewarrior]

Hi people. You may remember I thought I was haunted a while back, with the likely outcome being ME awakening during the night, vaping, but due to my medication, completely forgetting.

Well, I moved my vaping stuff to my mums room, In my room are only the batteries and charger. Included in my mums room was my nautilus tank, still in its box. I remember that vividly.

Well, I went to use it a few weeks ago, and guess what? It's f'ing gone. There is no possibility it was me this time.

Even more, I have my chargers set up on my subwoofer. Guess what was next to the charger when it went missing?

The nautilus mini instruction manual.

I kept that in the box, I keep all instructions in their box.

Me, my mum, and fiancee have searched my entire house from top to bottom. Even above the kitchen where you can not reach without a step ladder.

So, I am now NOT so certain it is me. My fiancee even checked her house, but she had not used it, I had, and I had my mum verify I put everything back when I used it to rule me out.

So now, I am mega confused, and it looks like I am going to have to drop another score on a nautilus mini, as it's such a flavourful tank.

I am hoping the billow V2 I order on the weekend will match it for flavour, as that is one thing it did excel at, and I liked that it didn't drink the juice that fast.

If I made a coil for my lemo at 1.6 Ohms like the nautilus, will I get similar juice performance?

I'm more pissed off than scared this time to be honest. I didn't use that tank often, but I did crack it out occasionally for supreme flavour, and taking out with me. I was going to take it out with me when I found it, and its box, to be missing.

I really don't know how to get it back, as I don't believe this was me this time. I don't know what I am dealing with.

It is likely easily explained, but any theories may help me find the tank. I don't want to pay for another one.

I am now on the likely outcome that it is my sanity, as what else could it be? I'm already brain damaged, so the potential is there I guess, and schizophrenia runs in my family. The only thing is, it's not "ooh I have schizophrenia, cool illness teen' type, Its my uncle has been in a home for the mentally ill since the age of 19, and he is in his 60's now type, and my cousin also has it badly and has been sectioned several times.

I don't want that.

 

[conanthewarrior]

I've worked out a logical explanation. As I had not used the nautilus, and thought I wouldn't again, and my fiancee has moved onto direct to lung tanks, I could of binned it.

It would be an extremely odd thing to do, but accounting illness, memory, multiple medications including benzodiazepines in high dosage, methadone, and another sleeping tablet in the mix, I guess anything is possible.

The plausible explanation is the bin. But I do not recall that, and I would not just throw a tank away, I would of gave it to someone on the forum for example.

Just guess I will have to get another one, they are not the most expensive tanks, and maybe the Billow V2 or Uwell crown will have as much flavour so I wont require it.

I just liked how easy on the juice it was. I think I will set up a 1.6 coil in my lemo V2 to see if thats also easy on the juice with good flavour, if so it won't matter. Just a loss I can't explain

 

[Mattp169]

better solution to the problem

you need to setup a live video stream of your house for us all to watch

we can take turns monitoring you and your family and report back what happens
