Ep. 94 | 6 Scary METH PSYCHOSIS Stories & My Favourite Horror Movies - Part 1 · Weeknight Mysteries Podcast

Speaker 1: The recording I made about the Chura trip seems to
0:02
Speaker 1: be getting a lot of views recently. I wasn't really
0:06
Speaker 1: sure if that video would be popular but it seems
0:08
Speaker 1: to be and I'm glad that people enjoyed it because
0:10
Speaker 1: I find trip reports really interesting. I think they provide
0:14
Speaker 1: a unique insight into the way the mind works and
0:17
Speaker 1: perhaps they even show a hidden side of reality that
0:19
Speaker 1: we don't know exists. One of the things I find
0:23
Speaker 1: interesting about trip reports is that people consistently report seeing
0:26
Speaker 1: the same things on different drugs. On meth a lot
0:30
Speaker 1: of people seem to see these shadow creatures that follow
0:33
Speaker 1: them around. Many people just attribute this to the effects
0:37
Speaker 1: of lack of sleep mixed with heavy stimulants but I've
0:39
Speaker 1: read some reports from people that seem to think that
0:42
Speaker 1: these shadow beings are actually real. Messing around with meth
0:46
Speaker 1: gets you involved with dark forces. Some call it the
0:50
Speaker 1: devil's drug. I don't know what the reality of the
0:53
Speaker 1: situation is but I find it interesting to ponder and
0:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to read 6 trip reports that I found
0:58
Speaker 1: on a rower. In some cases I've edited the stories
1:02
Speaker 1: down a little bit just to make them a bit shorter. Okay,
1:06
Speaker 1: on with the trip reports. This one was written by Insane.
1:11
Speaker 1: Let me start by saying some background information on me.
1:15
Speaker 1: At 14 I tried my first drug and from then
1:17
Speaker 1: on I've tried many other drugs. But what I'm doing
1:21
Speaker 1: my report on, methamphetamine I otherwise call the devil. I've
1:26
Speaker 1: always heard about people who have done meth and how
1:28
Speaker 1: they can't sleep for days and drop weight like crazy
1:31
Speaker 1: and on rare occasions see what they refer to as
1:33
Speaker 1: the shadows. Now I didn't know people were into meth
1:37
Speaker 1: so the first time I came across someone who had
1:39
Speaker 1: it I gave it a try. This was at the
1:42
Speaker 1: age of 16 and when I tried it it had
1:44
Speaker 1: a pinkish color to it and was in a powder.
1:47
Speaker 1: The only thing that I felt was a slight burn
1:49
Speaker 1: and that was it. Years passed and once again meth
1:53
Speaker 1: came into my life when a co-worker said he had
1:55
Speaker 1: some This was at age 19 and now within the
1:58
Speaker 1: three years which had passed I'd gained knowledge on meth
2:01
Speaker 1: and how it was various forms, the most potent being
2:04
Speaker 1: in clear, shard form, ice as most would call it.
2:08
Speaker 1: My coworker said he had some ice and gave me
2:10
Speaker 1: a sample. This time around it was clear and looked
2:14
Speaker 1: just like they call it, broken little shards of ice.
2:18
Speaker 1: I made two lines and snorted one through my nostril
2:21
Speaker 1: and gave the other one to another coworker. The first
2:24
Speaker 1: thing that felt was like I just snorted some jalapeno
2:27
Speaker 1: juice from my nose because that shit burned and when
2:29
Speaker 1: I mean burned I mean it really burned, I got
2:32
Speaker 1: tears in my eyes. After a while the burnt feeling
2:35
Speaker 1: went away and I immediately felt so energetic it felt
2:38
Speaker 1: literally like I was floating. I felt your forehead, my
2:42
Speaker 1: body felt light and very talkative. After this I spent
2:46
Speaker 1: about 6 months using ice by assorting it and yet
2:49
Speaker 1: I never got the side effects of people who say
2:51
Speaker 1: they can't sleep on all this other stuff. Just change
2:55
Speaker 1: later when I learned about smoking it. One day I
2:58
Speaker 1: go over to my friend's house and ask him if
3:01
Speaker 1: he wants a line of ice. He says sure and
3:04
Speaker 1: we snorted. It figures he has some ice himself and
3:08
Speaker 1: he takes out his pipe with a bowl on the end.
3:11
Speaker 1: This is those infamous pipes they no longer sell at
3:13
Speaker 1: gas stations called Valentine roses. Well he loads it with
3:18
Speaker 1: ice and takes out a lighter and starts heating up
3:20
Speaker 1: the bowl and then hails the smoke blowing out huge
3:23
Speaker 1: smoke clouds. Now this is the first time I tried
3:27
Speaker 1: smoking guys. I give it a try and right away
3:30
Speaker 1: it feels different and better than snorting it. I felt
3:34
Speaker 1: an immediate rush of adrenaline and my eyes felt wide open.
3:38
Speaker 1: From now on I smoked it and this is when
3:40
Speaker 1: all the shit started going downhill. I started wanting it
3:44
Speaker 1: more and more since it lasted a lot shorter smoking it.
3:48
Speaker 1: After binging for about 2 days I then got the
3:50
Speaker 1: effect everybody would talk about. I couldn't sleep for the
3:54
Speaker 1: shit of it as hard as I would try it
3:56
Speaker 1: just wasn't possible. The thought of eating food would make
3:59
Speaker 1: me gag so without sleep and food I felt like
4:02
Speaker 1: shit but the worst was yet to come. One night
4:05
Speaker 1: while in my basement room trying to sleep which wasn't
4:08
Speaker 1: happening I started hearing people outside my bedroom door. I
4:12
Speaker 1: went outside to open it and nobody was there. I
4:15
Speaker 1: would lay back down and it started happening again. I
4:19
Speaker 1: swear I could hear people talking but yet when I
4:21
Speaker 1: go to turn on the lights nobody would be there.
4:25
Speaker 1: Out of the corner my eye I could see these
4:27
Speaker 1: shadows and think they were people. An extreme paranoia like
4:31
Speaker 1: I never imagined would set in. This was the downfall
4:35
Speaker 1: and the realization I needed to quit this shit right away.
4:39
Speaker 1: After about 4 days I would get back to normal.
4:42
Speaker 1: The worst I ever had was at about 1 week
4:45
Speaker 1: without sleep and dropping down to about 130. I would
4:49
Speaker 1: get seriously hot flashes and profusely sweat like no other.
4:53
Speaker 1: I've had my share of binges in the past but
4:56
Speaker 1: no more. Stay clear away from this drug as it
4:59
Speaker 1: will tear you apart without you even noticing it. The
5:03
Speaker 1: next report is by Lenore. I was at a three-day
5:06
Speaker 1: rave and were taking mainly Adderall and Dexedra to stay awake.
5:11
Speaker 1: Adderall is about 75% dextroamphetamine and dextrotret is 100% dextroamphetamine
5:17
Speaker 1: which metabolizes as methamphetamine. Over the course of Friday 9 p.m.
5:22
Speaker 1: till Sunday 5 a.m. I probably had about 350 mg combined.
5:28
Speaker 1: By Sunday 5 a.m. I began to experience sleep deprivation
5:32
Speaker 1: hallucinations which is normal for staying awake for that duration
5:35
Speaker 1: of time. I got home at around 9pm and I
5:39
Speaker 1: suddenly started to get paranoid and experience severe hallucinations. It
5:44
Speaker 1: would unlike any hallucinogenic substance I have ever taken. Instead
5:48
Speaker 1: of morphing into existence or even having objects distort or
5:52
Speaker 1: morph after I saw them they appeared as if in
5:54
Speaker 1: real life. I knew that they weren't real but I
5:57
Speaker 1: was still extremely afraid. I mostly saw people out of
6:02
Speaker 1: my window or down my hallway and insects crawling out
6:05
Speaker 1: from underneath doors. All of them were very frightening and
6:08
Speaker 1: were coming towards me. Brightly lit enclosed areas helped to
6:12
Speaker 1: alleviate the hallucinations as well as familiar activities and objects.
6:18
Speaker 1: I finally slept for a few hours and the next
6:20
Speaker 1: day I saw a few hallucinations in the dark and
6:23
Speaker 1: the hallucinations disappeared after the next night. I remained extremely
6:27
Speaker 1: paranoid especially when riding in cars for the next week.
6:31
Speaker 1: The next day after the experience I had to ride
6:34
Speaker 1: in a car and I took an anti-anxiety medication to
6:37
Speaker 1: keep myself and practically having a heart attack. My breathing
6:41
Speaker 1: rate had elevated and my heart rate remained elevated to
6:44
Speaker 1: 100 to 120 beats per minute for the next 4 days.
6:48
Speaker 1: The next report is by I should be locked up.
6:52
Speaker 1: I'm writing this report a good 8 years after it
6:54
Speaker 1: took place so some of the details are a little hazy.
6:57
Speaker 1: However I've all the drug induced experiences that I've ever
7:01
Speaker 1: had this one in particular stands out in my memory.
7:04
Speaker 1: In order to give the reader a feel for the
7:06
Speaker 1: situation I first briefly discussed the state of my life
7:09
Speaker 1: at the time. When I was in my late teens
7:12
Speaker 1: I was little excessive when it came to the consumption
7:15
Speaker 1: of chemical substances. I put myself through a lot of
7:19
Speaker 1: dodgy situations. I met some of the most fucked up
7:22
Speaker 1: dangerous people I've ever met. Unfortunately the lack of education
7:27
Speaker 1: coupled with the logical laws around this aspect of modern
7:30
Speaker 1: society allowed an essentially lower abiding yet inquisitive teenager the
7:34
Speaker 1: ability to obtain cheap and powerful mind altering substances at
7:37
Speaker 1: an age when one lacks the stability and competence needed
7:40
Speaker 1: to deal with the subjective effects of drug use. When
7:44
Speaker 1: I was 15 I got into acid as well as
7:46
Speaker 1: to a lesser extent mushrooms which was great I had
7:49
Speaker 1: some fun times. However suppliers of acid suddenly dried up.
7:55
Speaker 1: What was a young person to do? Well they annihilated
7:58
Speaker 1: my local dealer and fake mans. They'd always been available
8:03
Speaker 1: but I wasn't interested before. I liked the multi-dimensional journeys
8:07
Speaker 1: and mystical experiences but I wasn't into taking drugs for
8:10
Speaker 1: the buzz. I started taking speed all the time. Every
8:15
Speaker 1: other day for a period of about six months, me
8:18
Speaker 1: and a group of friends would simply neck or snort
8:20
Speaker 1: loads of the stuff and sit around talking like maniacs.
8:24
Speaker 1: The situation was a recipe for disaster and ended up
8:27
Speaker 1: with many problems. During the height of this speed binging
8:31
Speaker 1: I felt I needed to do something extreme to experience
8:34
Speaker 1: all that this drug could do. I was well aware
8:37
Speaker 1: of the hallucinogenic nature of the come down, be this
8:40
Speaker 1: caused by the drug itself or by lack of sleep
8:43
Speaker 1: or food. So as a desperate act of self-sacrifice I
8:47
Speaker 1: offered myself up to the insane god by launching into
8:50
Speaker 1: a binge to end all binges. For three days and
8:53
Speaker 1: three nights, me and a few cronies consumed gram after
8:57
Speaker 1: gram of yellow-tinged crystal base. What we did for those
9:01
Speaker 1: three days I can't recall but on the fourth day
9:03
Speaker 1: we decided to drive to a local forest that some
9:06
Speaker 1: of the friends have been camping in over the weekend.
9:09
Speaker 1: These guys have been on some kind of drug-fueled pilgrimage,
9:12
Speaker 1: walking twenty-odd miles into the woods then setting up camp
9:15
Speaker 1: within its darkest depths. So the scene was set. My
9:20
Speaker 1: plan was to stop taking speed the night we got
9:23
Speaker 1: into the woods and then let the effects of four
9:25
Speaker 1: days of binging take effect and see what happened. I
9:29
Speaker 1: suppose I thought at the time that this would be
9:31
Speaker 1: the grand finale to my unfetterment trip, a last blast
9:34
Speaker 1: before I quit. We finally made it into the forests,
9:38
Speaker 1: me and two others plus about four or five guys
9:41
Speaker 1: who were already there. We'd all been taking speed but
9:45
Speaker 1: only I had been on it for four days straight.
9:48
Speaker 1: The night passed and we jumped and laughed around the campfire.
9:52
Speaker 1: We got real stoned and took the last of the speed.
9:55
Speaker 1: I remember everyone talking about a multicolored bubble that had
9:58
Speaker 1: enveloped our group cutting us off from the outside world.
10:02
Speaker 1: At first light I was starting to feel kind of unstable,
10:05
Speaker 1: like being in some kind of eerie waking dream. I
10:09
Speaker 1: felt the urge to walk to explore the beautiful area
10:12
Speaker 1: that we were in, that had until this point been
10:14
Speaker 1: shrouded in darkness. So I went off, my only intention
10:19
Speaker 1: being to gather my bearings. From this point onward, I
10:23
Speaker 1: slowly started to slip into the most bizarre quiz I
10:25
Speaker 1: skid to a frantic state of mind I've ever been in.
10:29
Speaker 1: The visuals of Ellis deal mushrooms can be pretty intense,
10:32
Speaker 1: but I know that this is the effect of the
10:34
Speaker 1: drug that is causing them, and they move so fleetingly
10:37
Speaker 1: and quickly that it's more like watching the show that
10:39
Speaker 1: you know will be over. The state of mind I
10:42
Speaker 1: found myself in that morning was incredibly real. It was
10:46
Speaker 1: like the world gradually changed around me, over a period
10:49
Speaker 1: of many hours. What started as an idea or maybe
10:53
Speaker 1: a delusion in my mind, slowly seeped into reality, until
10:57
Speaker 1: it took over. It wasn't like I had a physical
11:00
Speaker 1: rush that brought on the effects. It was real, it
11:04
Speaker 1: all happened as part of the experience of my reality.
11:08
Speaker 1: It was my neurotransmitters that were causing this trip. Anyway,
11:12
Speaker 1: here's what I experienced. As I walked, I started to
11:16
Speaker 1: think of an idea about how the forest could be
11:18
Speaker 1: inhabited by fairies. I started following the small tracks that
11:23
Speaker 1: weaved around the plants. I realized that in some places
11:27
Speaker 1: there were more tracks than others, and many of the
11:29
Speaker 1: tracks appeared to lead to certain places. For example, a
11:33
Speaker 1: certain large tree or a river. As I wandered around
11:37
Speaker 1: these tracks, it seemed that there was a certain intelligence
11:40
Speaker 1: in the way they were designed. This thought developed into
11:44
Speaker 1: a feeling that I was being led, I saw figures
11:46
Speaker 1: and heard voices. The backs of little men brushing just
11:50
Speaker 1: a head out of sight in the undergrowth. It felt friendly,
11:54
Speaker 1: like guides. Not too similar to people, like little woodsmen.
12:00
Speaker 1: I could hear their voices and feel their intentions, and
12:03
Speaker 1: I felt that they wanted to show me something of
12:05
Speaker 1: the real nature of the forest. These became the woodsmen fairies.
12:10
Speaker 1: Following the woodsmen, I took up their offer and tried
12:13
Speaker 1: to open up my mind to what I was being shown. Firstly,
12:17
Speaker 1: they took me to the river where they were great
12:19
Speaker 1: banks of mud. The banks looked like cities. The dirt
12:24
Speaker 1: was sculpted like a natural form of architecture. I saw
12:28
Speaker 1: the river as a teeming colony of faces and intelligences.
12:32
Speaker 1: Big frog-like creatures protruding from the banks wallowing in mud,
12:36
Speaker 1: gelching and burping. The woodsman informed me through some sort
12:40
Speaker 1: of telepathic link that these strange creatures were the mud fairies.
12:45
Speaker 1: Messy things that didn't care much for people, creatures of
12:48
Speaker 1: earth and water. A lot of the visions and information
12:51
Speaker 1: that I saw on this trip, but I can't now
12:54
Speaker 1: remember but there was a lot more detail than I
12:56
Speaker 1: could recall. After this I was introduced to the trees.
13:01
Speaker 1: I saw the trees as they really were. Beautiful and ancient,
13:05
Speaker 1: each with its own heart and mind. more ancient and
13:09
Speaker 1: wise than man could imagine. They were great spectators on
13:13
Speaker 1: the world, aware of the comings and goings of mankind
13:16
Speaker 1: for aloof. They existed here in this world in their
13:19
Speaker 1: true form, powerful creatures in control of the woods. I
13:24
Speaker 1: saw them rife and give off light. I felt great
13:27
Speaker 1: waves of ecstasy as I felt the joy in which
13:30
Speaker 1: they lived. The woodsmen told me that they were the
13:33
Speaker 1: most powerful of all creatures in the wood and that
13:35
Speaker 1: they could control my experience here. Whilst I was under
13:39
Speaker 1: the trees, I was in their control. Many more revelations
13:43
Speaker 1: I received as I gazed upon the trees about their
13:46
Speaker 1: true nature and its power yet also its beauty. After
13:50
Speaker 1: I had realized the true nature of the trees, the
13:53
Speaker 1: forest became like a living world of intelligence around me.
13:57
Speaker 1: It was incredible. I was amazed at what I was experiencing.
14:02
Speaker 1: I was totally lost in it. I was given a
14:05
Speaker 1: tour of all the features of the wood places that
14:07
Speaker 1: would look like ordinary forest parts to the normal eye.
14:11
Speaker 1: Not to me and my woodland friends I saw cities,
14:14
Speaker 1: roads and palaces. After a time they brought me to
14:18
Speaker 1: a deep part of the woods, a dense area of
14:20
Speaker 1: pine and yew. It was very dark and brooding. This
14:25
Speaker 1: I was informed was the dark forest, a place of
14:28
Speaker 1: trees that had gone evil and lost their light and
14:30
Speaker 1: hated men. If I entered I was warned that I
14:33
Speaker 1: would go insane. They would take my soul and show
14:37
Speaker 1: me terrifying visions. The place oozed horror and as I
14:41
Speaker 1: gazed in I saw monsters lurking in the darkness. I
14:45
Speaker 1: turned away from the dark woods and headed back towards
14:47
Speaker 1: our camp. I eventually found everyone and attempted to tell
14:51
Speaker 1: them about my adventure. Most people just ignored me telling
14:55
Speaker 1: me to shut up. No one was experiencing anything like
14:59
Speaker 1: I was. So a little put out I returned to
15:02
Speaker 1: my first world. My friend who I would call K
15:06
Speaker 1: came with me and as we walked I described the
15:08
Speaker 1: world that I had seen. K started to make up
15:11
Speaker 1: his own ideas that added to the story. As if
15:15
Speaker 1: what I was experiencing that was making up as a story.
15:18
Speaker 1: K was annoying me intensely by adding his ideas. He
15:23
Speaker 1: seemed like a fool who didn't realize that what I
15:25
Speaker 1: was telling him was real. So eventually I told him
15:29
Speaker 1: to pit off. Now things really started to hot up.
15:33
Speaker 1: The forest enveloped me more than ever but I felt
15:36
Speaker 1: that it was more to come. I came upon the
15:39
Speaker 1: dark forest again and I realized that the dark woods
15:41
Speaker 1: were a gateway into the heart of this forest trip.
15:45
Speaker 1: I figured that if I could enter and pass through
15:47
Speaker 1: the dark forest then I would discover something incredible on
15:50
Speaker 1: the other side. So I set off. As I walked
15:54
Speaker 1: the evil forces of the dark forest tried to entice me.
15:59
Speaker 1: They tried to lock me inside the trunks. They showed
16:02
Speaker 1: me the trapped souls of men who had fallen prey
16:05
Speaker 1: to them. Twisting visions in the corner of my eyes
16:08
Speaker 1: of screaming tortured souls. I felt hands pulling at my back.
16:14
Speaker 1: At one point I had an incredibly realistic hallucination of
16:17
Speaker 1: a man running up behind me with an axe screaming
16:19
Speaker 1: as he hit me. I turned in shock and he vanished.
16:24
Speaker 1: I saw beasts and monsters stalking on either side. Fallen
16:28
Speaker 1: trunks and old stumps became wolves and demons chasing me
16:31
Speaker 1: deeper into the wood. This was terrifying. I felt like
16:36
Speaker 1: I was on my last legs and at any moment
16:38
Speaker 1: would collapse and die. My soul ripped from inside by
16:42
Speaker 1: the devilish forces around me. I came deliriously upon an
16:47
Speaker 1: old twisted stump of a yew tree, standing alone in
16:49
Speaker 1: a clearing. It became a living twisted old hand at
16:53
Speaker 1: the center of this dark place. It cackled at me,
16:57
Speaker 1: telling me to turn back or die, then became like
16:59
Speaker 1: a thousand snakes melted into the undergrowth. And yet I
17:03
Speaker 1: pressed on, determined to find an end to this evil place.
17:08
Speaker 1: Then as the terror of the dark forest reached the crescendo,
17:11
Speaker 1: it emerged into a light clearing. For me was a
17:15
Speaker 1: massive old tree. An ancient face seemed to appear in
17:18
Speaker 1: its bark and it spoke in a sun voice that
17:21
Speaker 1: was soothing and yet all-encompassing. It certainly didn't speak in English,
17:25
Speaker 1: but in my delirium I could understand it perfectly. It
17:29
Speaker 1: explained that I had reached the heart of this trip
17:31
Speaker 1: and that all I was experiencing was part of my
17:34
Speaker 1: own unconscious mind. The fairies were personifications of my own
17:38
Speaker 1: character and that he, the tree, was the core of
17:41
Speaker 1: my being, the voice in my head and a voice
17:44
Speaker 1: of reason. I had been through the darkest recesses of
17:47
Speaker 1: my mind to get there. Yet my mind was vast,
17:51
Speaker 1: as vast as the forest around me and that wherever
17:53
Speaker 1: I went from now on I would be on my
17:55
Speaker 1: own within my own mind and could, if I chose,
17:58
Speaker 1: learn more of myself the further I ventured. Everything the
18:02
Speaker 1: tree communicated made sense and the visions of fairy seemed
18:05
Speaker 1: to fall into place around me. I pressed on into
18:09
Speaker 1: the wood, determined to find something. By this time I
18:12
Speaker 1: was extremely fatigued, I was staggering around talking to myself
18:16
Speaker 1: and must have looked at right miss. the whole experience
18:20
Speaker 1: became more and more unpleasant. The woodmen seemed to have
18:24
Speaker 1: pissed off and I kept thinking wild fairies who lived
18:26
Speaker 1: in the bushes were coming out and poking me and
18:28
Speaker 1: whispering about me behind their backs. Suddenly I found myself
18:33
Speaker 1: in a clearing, two huge trees had fallen down side
18:36
Speaker 1: by side. One had opened up a cave-like hole with
18:40
Speaker 1: its root and the other had gone the other way
18:42
Speaker 1: with its branches flailing in the air. I stared at
18:45
Speaker 1: this vision and as I did the cave deepened, becoming
18:48
Speaker 1: a long, infinite tunnel and a fallen tree writhed around
18:52
Speaker 1: like the tentacles of an octopus. I almost dropped my
18:55
Speaker 1: knees with an overwhelming sensation I had found something meaningful,
18:59
Speaker 1: the dark cave and the octopus. What it meant I
19:02
Speaker 1: didn't know and still don't. Yet this was it, the
19:06
Speaker 1: end and my mind and body knew it. I suddenly
19:10
Speaker 1: had a flash of realization. I was tired, hungry, and
19:14
Speaker 1: lost in the middle of the woods without a clue
19:16
Speaker 1: where any of my friends were. I panned a bit
19:19
Speaker 1: but managed to find the edge of the forest, which
19:22
Speaker 1: I left and felt much better for it. The outside
19:25
Speaker 1: seemed far saner than the forest. After a while I
19:29
Speaker 1: bumped into my friends who was about 10 AM and
19:32
Speaker 1: I'd been lost in a woods for about 4 to
19:34
Speaker 1: 5 hours. I tried to explain what I'd been through
19:37
Speaker 1: but still couldn't quite believe it myself. Was it me
19:41
Speaker 1: or was it the drugs? I just had an eye
19:44
Speaker 1: opening revelation into the true nature of the forest or
19:47
Speaker 1: was I suffering the classic speed induced psychosis? long after
19:52
Speaker 1: my experience i read about shamanism and similar cultural phenomenon
19:55
Speaker 1: and discovered that such trans experiences are not uncommon after
19:59
Speaker 1: long periods of sleep deprivation or starvation unfortunately we lack
20:04
Speaker 1: the experts and so my story remains just that a
20:07
Speaker 1: story The next report is by Santa Sinner. I've read
20:12
Speaker 1: stories of people binging for days on end and going
20:15
Speaker 1: to full psychosis mode. The first few times I've been
20:18
Speaker 1: using it I experienced nothing but euphoria and alertness but
20:22
Speaker 1: this time it was more than that. My first hit
20:25
Speaker 1: was at about 4pm. I felt euphoria and I kept
20:29
Speaker 1: talking non-stop to my friends. All of them were high
20:33
Speaker 1: as well. Reduced another 0.1 gram for the next 2 hours.
20:39
Speaker 1: Nothing much to report except the same feelings of euphoria
20:42
Speaker 1: and alertness. At about 11pm I smoked my last. 1
20:47
Speaker 1: of a gram and went home. My body starts to
20:50
Speaker 1: get aches which is not unusual for me and my
20:52
Speaker 1: fingers and feet are starting to tingle. This is where
20:56
Speaker 1: things start to get worse. At around 3am the tingling
21:00
Speaker 1: in my feet and my fingers start to get worse
21:02
Speaker 1: and I began to panic and I get super paranoid
21:05
Speaker 1: thinking that they were going to fall off. I took
21:08
Speaker 1: one milligram of lorazepam to help my panic attacks but
21:11
Speaker 1: it didn't work so I took another three together with
21:13
Speaker 1: some generic muscle relaxants. Usually when I'm a mess this
21:17
Speaker 1: will knock me out within 30 minutes. However this time
21:21
Speaker 1: it was different and I became even more alert and paranoid.
21:25
Speaker 1: At 11 a.m. 12 hours after my last dose I
21:28
Speaker 1: began hearing weird noises coming from outside my room. I
21:32
Speaker 1: brushed it off thinking it was just my noisy neighborhood.
21:36
Speaker 1: My fingers were still tingling and my body was heating
21:39
Speaker 1: up and my heart was beating irregularly. I felt like
21:42
Speaker 1: I was going to have a bolt on heart attack.
21:45
Speaker 1: At about 1pm the noises subsided but I started seeing
21:49
Speaker 1: shadow people in my room. I've read online that you
21:52
Speaker 1: only see shadow people if you take high doses and
21:55
Speaker 1: you haven't slept in more than 3 days. My dose
21:59
Speaker 1: is considered low and I woke up at 1pm the
22:01
Speaker 1: day before so it was only about 12 hours since
22:04
Speaker 1: I last slept. The shadow people appeared when I stared
22:07
Speaker 1: at the wall for about 15 seconds. The wall would
22:11
Speaker 1: suddenly become like a glass and I could literally see
22:14
Speaker 1: right through it like it's another dimension behind my wall
22:16
Speaker 1: with two shadow people talking to each other. I freaked
22:20
Speaker 1: the fuck out and looked to my bed with the
22:22
Speaker 1: clothes on it. My clothes then started morphing into weird
22:26
Speaker 1: faces and they looked like they were talking to me.
22:29
Speaker 1: I freaked out again and threw my clothes on the floor.
22:33
Speaker 1: I tried to do things to distract myself but every
22:35
Speaker 1: time I stopped and looked in my peripheral vision I
22:38
Speaker 1: would see apparitions floating towards me and streets of light
22:41
Speaker 1: that would suddenly turn into white particles of dust that
22:43
Speaker 1: would land on my skin and make me itch all over.
22:47
Speaker 1: The colors around me became darker and my skin suddenly
22:50
Speaker 1: looked brown. This lasted for at least 4 hours and
22:54
Speaker 1: I thought I should have come down by then since
22:56
Speaker 1: it was more than 12 hours since my last dose.
22:59
Speaker 1: The shadow people stopped appearing after six hours into my
23:02
Speaker 1: first hallucination but I still saw apparitions and inanimate objects
23:06
Speaker 1: in my room floating more. I began having auditory hallucinations.
23:12
Speaker 1: This time I kept hearing satanic music being played on
23:15
Speaker 1: my laptop. I was so freaked out I kept asking
23:19
Speaker 1: my mom if she could hear them but as she
23:20
Speaker 1: kept saying it was just the fan on my laptop
23:23
Speaker 1: making those noises. After what felt like forever and about
23:27
Speaker 1: 26 hours after my last dose I took a 15mg
23:30
Speaker 1: of MediSoak to help me sleep. Surprisingly I managed to
23:34
Speaker 1: sleep within the next hour. The next few days however
23:38
Speaker 1: were really bad. Both my body and my mind felt
23:42
Speaker 1: like I was in some sort of accident and I
23:44
Speaker 1: kept having really bad anxiety for the next week. This
23:48
Speaker 1: whole meth experience didn't even feel like I took meth
23:50
Speaker 1: but some kind of weird psychedelic drug that made me
23:53
Speaker 1: hallucinate like crazy. This report is by Mays413. I've done
23:59
Speaker 1: lots of drugs in my time. Through about 5 years
24:03
Speaker 1: of using pretty much everything I've only had one bad trip,
24:06
Speaker 1: met Han Betaman. One day I was chilling with one
24:10
Speaker 1: of my brothers and we decided to grab a gram
24:12
Speaker 1: of crystal. I'd done it about 4 times before this
24:16
Speaker 1: sniffing and snorting it. This particular time we smoked a
24:20
Speaker 1: whole batch. It started off as a typical high feeling
24:24
Speaker 1: kind of funny, alerted sensors etc then my brother got
24:28
Speaker 1: real tired and wanted to sleep i was wide awake
24:32
Speaker 1: no sleep in sight so i left his room and
24:34
Speaker 1: went to mine right next to her as i laid
24:38
Speaker 1: in bed watching tv i started to see a man
24:40
Speaker 1: in my closet pointing at me every time i looked
24:44
Speaker 1: away and looked back he'd be in a different position
24:46
Speaker 1: still making eye contact and pointing at me at this
24:50
Speaker 1: point i got scared because the guy was somebody i
24:53
Speaker 1: knew and i'd fought with before So this guy I
24:56
Speaker 1: didn't like was in my closet and pointing at me
24:59
Speaker 1: like he was out to get me. I'd look away
25:02
Speaker 1: and look back a bunch of times and this shit
25:04
Speaker 1: just kept happening. I felt like it was officially crazy.
25:09
Speaker 1: Then as if that wasn't enough, I started to see
25:11
Speaker 1: my brother through the window reflection hiding under my bed.
25:15
Speaker 1: I could literally see him pointing at me through the reflection.
25:19
Speaker 1: So I'm scared shitless. At the side I have to
25:23
Speaker 1: sleep now so it'll go away. I take five Wald
25:27
Speaker 1: Green's brand sleeping pills, lay down and shut my eyes.
25:31
Speaker 1: Eventually I fall asleep. Periodically throughout the night I would
25:36
Speaker 1: wake up and see spiders. I would swipe them away
25:39
Speaker 1: because they were jumping towards me and then fall back
25:42
Speaker 1: to sleep. This happened a few times during the night.
25:46
Speaker 1: There was always a big spider and a bunch of
25:49
Speaker 1: baby jumping spiders, always jumping towards my face. When I
25:54
Speaker 1: woke up I remembered all the shit and I saw
25:56
Speaker 1: bugs on my bed spread. I ended up spraying my
25:59
Speaker 1: whole bed every sheet of bed. Every layer I took
26:03
Speaker 1: off there were still more spiders and no matter where
26:05
Speaker 1: I was, they were always jumping towards my face. So
26:10
Speaker 1: my room smelled like raid or my sheets are being
26:12
Speaker 1: washed and I go into my brother's room. I still
26:16
Speaker 1: see spiders everywhere. I tell them they're on his couch
26:20
Speaker 1: and now they're on my shirt so I take off
26:22
Speaker 1: my shirt and spray it with Raid and then put
26:24
Speaker 1: it back on. My brother says why don't you just
26:27
Speaker 1: change your shirt. I get confused. Then my brother checks
26:32
Speaker 1: my room and says if there were bugs on your
26:34
Speaker 1: bed they'd be dead all over and then there was
26:36
Speaker 1: nothing so I realized I was tweaked. Up to this
26:40
Speaker 1: point I felt like I'd been thinking rationally then it
26:42
Speaker 1: hit me. I messed up. It took about four more
26:47
Speaker 1: hours before I really started thinking straight. I spent that
26:51
Speaker 1: time in my brother's room with him laughing at me.
26:54
Speaker 1: Take what you want from this story. It's not a
26:57
Speaker 1: deterrent or promoting its use because I don't care what
27:00
Speaker 1: you do. This report was written by St. Jimmy. Before
27:05
Speaker 1: this trip on meth I'm fed to him and I'd
27:07
Speaker 1: been using meth heavily for around two months. On this
27:10
Speaker 1: day I was visiting my hometown from college for my birthday.
27:15
Speaker 1: When I got off the airplane I was in very
27:17
Speaker 1: bad condition. My boyfriend M picked me up and took
27:20
Speaker 1: me to a hotel to celebrate my birthday with my
27:23
Speaker 1: cousin C and C's girlfriend A. Emid recently made a
27:27
Speaker 1: large drug pickup and we had surplus amounts of meth
27:30
Speaker 1: I'm fed him in on our hands so as soon
27:32
Speaker 1: as we got settled into the hotel we started snorting
27:34
Speaker 1: lines and smoking. For a while everything was like a
27:38
Speaker 1: normal meth trip. We all became hyper creative and started drawings.
27:43
Speaker 1: I decided to lay down on the bed. From where
27:47
Speaker 1: I was laying the ceiling looked like it was made
27:49
Speaker 1: of water. It was warping and flowing and changing colors constantly.
27:54
Speaker 1: It was weird but very pretty. When C and A
27:58
Speaker 1: came into the room I've pointed out this phenomenon to A.
28:02
Speaker 1: Apparently C and A could see the water ceiling as
28:04
Speaker 1: well so we all laid down on the bed to
28:06
Speaker 1: watch the show. M wanted nothing to do with this
28:10
Speaker 1: because he knows the warning signs of a meth freak
28:12
Speaker 1: out and this is one of the signs. However I
28:15
Speaker 1: was totally oblivious to this fact. After about 10 minutes
28:20
Speaker 1: A sat up and noticed that a large vortex was
28:22
Speaker 1: forming in the corner of the hotel room. From this
28:25
Speaker 1: vortex which looked like a smoky grey cube imploding on
28:28
Speaker 1: itself emerged hundreds of shadowy figures. They were roughly human
28:33
Speaker 1: in shape and seemed to be composed entirely of shadows.
28:37
Speaker 1: They had no facial features or clothing or any type
28:40
Speaker 1: of distinguishing marks. Being avid researchers of the paranormal we
28:45
Speaker 1: instantly recognized these creatures to be shadow people. Panic quickly
28:49
Speaker 1: set in as the shadow people began to circle the room.
28:53
Speaker 1: At some point M finally put down his pen and
28:56
Speaker 1: joined the chaos that was rapidly forming in the room. C,
29:00
Speaker 1: A and I were huddling in one of the beds together,
29:03
Speaker 1: hyperventilating and in a general state of panic. Shadow people
29:07
Speaker 1: might not sound too frightening to those who know nothing
29:10
Speaker 1: about them but as people who understand these creatures we
29:13
Speaker 1: knew enough to be terrified. Shadow people are not my
29:16
Speaker 1: level ant beings. They are horrible extra-dimensional beings that prey
29:21
Speaker 1: on human energy. Not a good situation to be in
29:25
Speaker 1: when we're spawned and paranoid as it is. We began
29:28
Speaker 1: talking about what we thought the shadow people were and
29:31
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that they were beings from another
29:33
Speaker 1: dimension that had entered our dimension through the vortex. Methanthetamine
29:38
Speaker 1: had allowed our bodies to vibrate at a higher resonance
29:41
Speaker 1: than usual and this attracted the shadow people. C decided
29:45
Speaker 1: that smoking more meth would make the shadow people go away,
29:48
Speaker 1: so A and I sat on the edge of the
29:50
Speaker 1: bed while C held the pipe and lit it for us.
29:54
Speaker 1: In retrospect I realized that this was a horrible idea.
29:58
Speaker 1: All it did was make the experience even more intense.
30:02
Speaker 1: Finally M jumped in and fed A and I some
30:04
Speaker 1: Xanax to calm us down. Unfortunately nothing happened. The shadow
30:10
Speaker 1: people continued to assault our senses and terrify us. M
30:14
Speaker 1: and A decided that they were determined to take photos
30:17
Speaker 1: of the shadow people with their cell phones, so they
30:19
Speaker 1: took off on an expedition to the bathroom which for
30:22
Speaker 1: some reason seemed like the best place to take photos
30:24
Speaker 1: to all of us. C and I sat on the
30:27
Speaker 1: edge of the bed and waited for their return. Soon
30:31
Speaker 1: a mass about the size of a human torso began
30:33
Speaker 1: forming underneath the table. It was a large translucent blob
30:37
Speaker 1: with no discernible form. C and I started screaming for
30:42
Speaker 1: M and A to come back into the room. The
30:45
Speaker 1: blob started speaking to me telepathically, telling me that it
30:48
Speaker 1: was going to spiritually possess me and use my body
30:51
Speaker 1: to murder my friends. As it was speaking it began
30:54
Speaker 1: to climb up my body, It inserted three tentacles into
30:58
Speaker 1: my navel and began to enter my body. Where the
31:01
Speaker 1: tentacles touched me I felt a sensation similar to ice
31:05
Speaker 1: cold needles being pushed through my skin. I wanted to
31:08
Speaker 1: get up and run away but the creature had me
31:10
Speaker 1: completely paralyzed. I started screaming for me to run and
31:15
Speaker 1: for M and C to do something but they just
31:17
Speaker 1: stood there dumbfounded. I took matters into our own hands
31:21
Speaker 1: and took a flying leap at the creature and tackled it,
31:24
Speaker 1: ripping it out of my body. M grabbed me under
31:27
Speaker 1: my arms and C grabbed my legs and carried me
31:30
Speaker 1: to the other bed. During this my body was still
31:33
Speaker 1: completely frozen. They dumped me on the bed and tried
31:36
Speaker 1: to get me to respond for a few minutes but
31:39
Speaker 1: I was unable to move or speak. I have very
31:42
Speaker 1: vague memories of what happened next. All I recall is
31:46
Speaker 1: a telling me that the creatures were gone. After I
31:49
Speaker 1: came back from my state of paralysis M ordered me
31:52
Speaker 1: into the shower. I refused and started crying. telling him
31:56
Speaker 1: that the shadow people were in the shower and I
31:58
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in the same place as them.
32:01
Speaker 1: M grabbed me by the arm and basically dragged me
32:04
Speaker 1: into the bathroom. He addressed me and shoved me into
32:07
Speaker 1: the shower and then climbed in after me. I became
32:11
Speaker 1: completely hysterical seeing shadow people all around me. I huddled
32:16
Speaker 1: up in a bowl, making myself as small as humanly possible.
32:20
Speaker 1: At this point I doubt I was coherent. I was
32:24
Speaker 1: babbling while sobbing and shaking and trying to hide in
32:26
Speaker 1: the shower. All I remember is M spitting in my
32:30
Speaker 1: face and shaking me as hard as he could and
32:32
Speaker 1: yelling at me to calm down. Eventually he got me
32:36
Speaker 1: calm enough to actually take a shower and the shadow
32:38
Speaker 1: people were mostly gone by this time. He dragged me
32:42
Speaker 1: off and dressed me because I was incapable of doing
32:45
Speaker 1: it myself and walked me out of the bathroom. C
32:48
Speaker 1: looked totally drained and M was laying on a bed
32:51
Speaker 1: sobbing and exhausted. M and I climbed into our bed
32:55
Speaker 1: and after a while of laying in bed in a
32:57
Speaker 1: state of total paranoia we finally drifted off for a
33:00
Speaker 1: few hours of sleep. The shadow people stayed with me
33:03
Speaker 1: for a few months. I saw them constantly, even when
33:07
Speaker 1: I wasn't high. I personally believe that what we saw
33:11
Speaker 1: that night was real. M disagrees and believes that everything
33:15
Speaker 1: we saw was drug-induced. To further complicate the matter is
33:19
Speaker 1: the subject of the photos. We all saw shadow people
33:23
Speaker 1: in those photos when we reviewed them at a later time.
33:27
Speaker 1: Today however M claims that there is nothing in those
33:29
Speaker 1: photos and they have all mysteriously disappeared from his phone.
33:34
Speaker 1: I think that he's in denial and doesn't want to
33:36
Speaker 1: face what the four of us went through and so
33:38
Speaker 1: he deleted the photos. Meth basically ruined my life through
33:42
Speaker 1: a long series of events. In the end I ended
33:46
Speaker 1: up with methamphetamine and used schizophrenia. So what do you
33:50
Speaker 1: think are these experiences purely drug-induced hallucinations or is there
33:54
Speaker 1: something deeper to them? If people like this case I
33:57
Speaker 1: might do some more trip reports in the future. I
34:01
Speaker 1: upload regular creepy content. Until next time goodbye. So in
34:06
Speaker 1: my last video I said that I was suffering from
34:09
Speaker 1: some writer's block and asked for a few suggestions and
34:11
Speaker 1: a user named Dosek said maybe you can list some
34:14
Speaker 1: good horror movies I would appreciate it. So I thought
34:17
Speaker 1: that sounded like a quite good idea. It might be
34:21
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do. I'd have been doing a
34:24
Speaker 1: series recently on my favorite found footage movies but I
34:27
Speaker 1: thought maybe covering some of the horror movies that aren't
34:29
Speaker 1: found footage might also be a good idea. So I'll
34:33
Speaker 1: pick 5 random horror movies that I enjoy and then
34:36
Speaker 1: if people like this case I'll do maybe some more
34:38
Speaker 1: in the future where I pick another 5 and talk
34:40
Speaker 1: about them. But I'm not writing a script like it
34:43
Speaker 1: normally do for my recordings. I'm just sort of speaking
34:47
Speaker 1: off the top of my head so I might make
34:49
Speaker 1: some mistakes but anyway. I guess one of my favorite
34:53
Speaker 1: horror series is the Georgia Amaro's zombie movies, the three
34:57
Speaker 1: classic ones, Night Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and
35:00
Speaker 1: Day of the Dead and I wanted to pick one
35:02
Speaker 1: of those and I was kind of torn between the
35:04
Speaker 1: three because on one hand I really like the sort
35:06
Speaker 1: of indie vibes of The Night Living Dead and it's
35:08
Speaker 1: probably one of the horror movies that I've watched the
35:11
Speaker 1: most times over because I don't know I really like
35:13
Speaker 1: that movie and I've just seen it so many times
35:16
Speaker 1: but it's actually quite slow and some of the characters
35:19
Speaker 1: are really annoying but out of dawn of the dead
35:21
Speaker 1: and day of the dead i'm not too sure see
35:23
Speaker 1: the thing is i really like day of the dead
35:25
Speaker 1: because well i think it shows the kind of societal
35:28
Speaker 1: collapse much more the kind of paranoia that's set in
35:30
Speaker 1: between people i think it's got a really good claustrophobic
35:33
Speaker 1: atmosphere all these people trapped in a bunker together and
35:36
Speaker 1: how it sort of starts to affect their brains and
35:38
Speaker 1: makes them more start acting crazy and paranoid I really
35:43
Speaker 1: like these apocalyptic stories where you kind of get a
35:46
Speaker 1: good idea of the kind of mental strain it has
35:48
Speaker 1: on the people going through it. I really like the
35:51
Speaker 1: books of J.G. Ballard he does a really good job
35:53
Speaker 1: conveying that so I think Day of the Dead does
35:56
Speaker 1: a better job of that and I really like the
35:57
