Thinnys

[Killer Bud]

Ive been all over the world, stood on Aztec sacrificial altars and gazed into mexican jungles when I was just 7, danced naked around bon fires on sabbats playing drums and worshipped mother earth in Germany, to abandoning my car on the side of the road and hiking to the woods with rainbow children, and joined them sleeping on the ground and foraging for food wherever we could find it. Ive survived hurricanes in a houseboat in the Florida Keys that was almost shattered to pieces from the violent waves slamming it into the seawall over and over all night long.

When I was 12, I had a real encounter with sasquatch, and came close to running over him with my bicycle. At the time we lived in the swamps close to the mouth of the Suwannee River just a few miles from an an ancient 2000 year old midden shell mound that towers over the flat muddy oyster bars.

Our home was a mile away from the main road and I usually rode my bike early in the morning to be the first one the bus driver picked up on the bus route. This particular morning I was pedaling briskly down the limerock covered road when he stepped out from the woods and started to cross the road. I was moving along rather briskly as I mentioned and the wheels made no sound on the road, in a short moment of contemplation I pondered what I should do next, suddenly the ten speed bike started making the clicking noise they make when you stop pedaling, and sasquatch turned to me suddenly with a look of fear and surprise.

By this time I had made the decision to use my momentum and just ride by him as fast as I could. I had to get even closer to him and I took in every detail of his physical characteristics as I drew steadily closer to him. By the time I got to where I saw him cross the road he had just gotten to the other side and he started running into the woods howling loudly and I remember the sound of the wood on the trees of branches snapping violently as he made his escape.

I was 12 at the time, and have had nightmares of that morning creep into my thoughts almost 26 years later. Ive gone as far as having a sasquatch sketch artist make a composition of what I saw.

Id post a picture of it but dont have 15 posts here yet.

Sasquatch didnt look like the furry depiction on the infamous bigfoot footage from the 1970's in Washington, or Oregon, or wherever they filmed that at. He stood upright more like a human than an gorilla, but had the graceful gait similar to a gorilla. He wasn't covered in thick fur either, it had more of a dark, long, wispy look to it in various patches over a very muscular physique. That is one of the things that has always stood out more than anything else was the muscle tone throughout his body. He stood over 7' tall, and I had no doubt in my mind that what I was seeing was faked.

The road I rode my bicycle to the schoolbus had something wierd about this one particular section. The left side where I initially saw sasquatch felt benign to me, it was ok... but the other side always gave me the creeps. There was this tree, a tall old cypress tree. It was bare of branches most of the way up, except for one. It stretched out like an old witch's gnarled finger, like it was pointing away from the right side of the road, warning you to turn back. Just passing the tree and looking past it into the dark swampy water, its cypress knees jutting out from its depths, with their twisted looking faces growing on them, made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

I sensed before my encounter there was something odd about this particular spot, and most assuredly knew there was afterwards. I had found a thinny. I didn't call it that then, I didn't have a name for it, at the time, as I was basically being written off by most folks I told my story to. My teachers, the bus driver, kids on the bus that day, they saw the fear inside me, and even my father laughed at me, and I still had to go by there even the next day on my bike, wondering if he was watching and possibly waiting for me to pass by and kill me before I told anyone else. I never saw it again, but I really wished that a grown up would of just taken the time to go back there with me and scout the area out for signs of it actually happening.

Im still not sure if thinnys actually exist, because I never been through one and entered a multiple dimension, but I do believe that they are scientifically possible, and explainable with the discovery of quantum physics. Who knows what modern science will accomplish with quantum physics in the future, one day they will possibly be the gatekeepers. I believe in predetermination over free will, and knew it was meant for me to share this at this moment because I was meant to, not because I chose to. SK led me here with his writings, and opened my mind to things I have pondered over for a long time. For that I thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

Long days and pleasant nights

[GravemakersAndGunslingers]

Reading this post I couldn't determine whether I was reading a fictional or factual account or a mixture of the two. Sorry if it is the latter, the style you wrote the post in was very much like a fictional story in a lot of places. You certainly have had an interesting life thus far if true. Perhaps other members of the board have had strange experiences in the same vein that they could share with us?

[Killer Bud]

Id like to use this thread to discuss thinnys. Does anyone else believe they can possibly exist? As you can tell from my previous post I do. I have really enjoyed the way Stephen King has incorporated them in his stories and made them even more real for me. Yes I know he is a fictional writer, but there is something to thinnys that seem possible, and the stories he writes regarding thinnys, almost go into the realm of Michael Crichton's writings of scientific possibilities, mixed with good fun fiction.

Upon my reread of my first post I did make a minor mistake I would like to clarify. I do not think it was fake, I believe to the my best sense of judgement that was I saw was real. sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

[Drawn to Ka-tet]

There are scientific studies that show that there are other dimensions. I think it's possible for something or someone to pass through accidentally.

Thank you for the reply, I am telling the truth, albeit in a narrative fashion. I thought it would be more interesting if I told it from a personal perspective and to hopefully invoke productive responses pertaining to the subject matter Im referring to based on my own personal experiences. It would be counterproductive of me to embellish on something that I felt very compelled to express here. It just kind of happened to come out that way as I started typing, perhaps subconsciously due to the fact, this board is Stephen Kings, I may of come across as pretentious wanna be writer, for that I apologize.

Thinnys do intrigue me, I also hope others might be drawn here to express thoughts on this subject as well. To be honest I was actually surprised that there wasn't a thread discussing them until now.

[GravemakersAndGunslingers]

I'm very open minded about things like this, given how amazing the world and the universe is in general and the fact that there is so much we don't know about, I'd say just about anything is possible. In fact I read somewhere that scientists are going to try to recreate 'The Big Bang' in a controlled environment underground on 10th september (next week!) and couldn't help thinking of what happened in Stephen King's 'The Mist' :eek2:

[Deavlynn]

I absolutely believe in them - I think there are a lot of places on earth where the "worlds wear thin." I can't say for sure that they are exactly as described in the dark tower with the noises and the subconscious pull, but I fully believe that beings from another place could walk into our world through a strange sort of worm hole if you will.

The Thinnys have always been a favorite part of Steve's books for me because I think they are very plausible. Steve isn't the only writer to use this concept either - a lot of writers have different ways of explaining the passage from one world to another - for C.S. Lewis it was a wardrobe, for the Atheist counterpoint a subtle knife that cut holes in space itself, and even Steve uses doors, thinnys, the trunk of a car, and even death itself as a mode of transportation between worlds.

Did you experience a Thinny? I don't think anyone will ever know but you - and my guess is, if you had taken an adult back with you that day you wouldn't have found any evidence anyway. That's the way it is, in my experience, we see and feel things sometimes that can be very real, but may only be real to us. It's kind of like J.K. Rowling's concept of a Room of Requirement. Maybe it was only there because you needed to see it, or maybe it only shows up on the 358,764 day in a cycle, or maybe you were just a 12 year old kid with an over-active imagination - I see nothing wrong with believing it anyway.

I'm rambling... but that's my 2 cents on the subject.

[DarkWriter]

As they say, "Fact is often stranger than fiction."


If it shakes and moans, don't open the box.

[rjt65]

Wow some first post... get to 15 would luv to see the sketch's!

Reading S Hawkings books before SK DT and insomnia made me make the link between actual Quantum Physics and DT series. SO I do not know what why or where but there is certainly more than meets the eye so yes i do think things like thinny's or dimensions above or below us exist.

[Mistressoftheundead]

Thinny exist alright lol. There alot of crazy **** out there.

[psj77]

Yes I know he is a fictional writer, but there is something to thinnys that seem possible

I believe in every fictional story there is at least a hint of truth, and in every true story a hint of fiction. As Johnny Cash once said "What is Truth?"

[GravemakersAndGunslingers]

I may of come across as pretentious wanna be writer, for that I apologize.
Not at all and no apology needed mate. I think one day science will show that inter-dimentional is possible - trying to recreate 'The Big Bang' could be the first step down that road.

I'm rambling... but that's my 2 cents on the subject.

I think looking back, if time travel was possible I would of followed it into the woods, or at least satiate my skeptical side of my psyche and sought some sort of tangible evidence, instead of just rushing past that section of the road as many times as I did after the incident. I didnt't get the courage to actually even get close to that particular spot until months afterwards. Even then I still half expected to see long hairs ripped off him hanging on a branch as a trophy for my bravery for finally looking. It seemed plausible to me that they might of been the way he tore through those woods. Just the sheer force of the sound of him retreating into the woods and snapping branches like they were twigs, made an instant impression on me that what I was encountering wasn't human.

Im not even sure sasquatch is what it was, but thats the closest thing I can relatively compare it to. The area I used to live in at the time is still mostly uninhabitated, land full of swamps, snakes, and alligators. It logically could be a place where they could reside undetected by now.

My recent thoughts on it have evolved to wondering if it may of been a neandertal, my description of the thing matched that more than your stereotypical bigfoot sighting description, but I dismiss this theory to a point, because a species needs to be able to have access to their own kind, and a society of something like that would of left some sort of trace somewhere. Im simply wondering at this point, if it was a being that came and went back through a thinny.

I feel silly proposing an alternative hypothesis such as this, but I dont have much to go on without evidence other than what I saw. I know my mind didn't play a trick me, seeing a 7" tall naked hairy monster crashing through the woods dont happen everyday. If I was having a lucid moment then, I havent had one of that proportion since.

---------------------

This is from wiki kinda giving an ancient historical record of the area I used to live at. The shell mound mentioned below was only a few miles from where I lived and at that time hardly anyone else lived out this way.

There is evidence of native cultures dating back at least to the Deptford Period, about 500 B.C. The area was first mapped in 1542 by a Spanish cartographer and called "Las Islas Sabines", The Cedar Islands.[5] An archaeological dig at Shell Mound, nine miles north of Cedar Key, found artifacts dating back to 500 B.C. in the top ten feet of the twenty-eight foot tall mound. The only ancient burial found in Cedar Key was a 2,000 year old skeleton found in 1999.[6]

The Cedar Keys were used by Seminole Indians, by the Spanish as a watering stop for ships returning to Spain from Mexico and by pirates, such as Jean Lafitte and Captain Kidd.

Thank you for the kind words, I am kinda feeling like a race horse that jumped out of the gate full throttle. :smile2:

I am thankful that SK readers can relate to what I am talking about regarding thinnys. As an agnostic skeptic that doesn't believe in god, but believes in bigfoot, I know I can seem to come across as someone that might be on something, and thats understandable, life throws you a curve when you least expect it, its what you do about it afterwards than makes the difference. Being silent about it and keeping this experience to myself wouldn't change in my mind what happened, I am compelled to share, and find logic from something illogical. Thats my journey.

btw-when my post count gets to 15 finally, Ill gladly share my sketches.

Ok now that's just down-right scary.:eek2:

[marew1]

:smile2: Hello and welcome to the board. Happy reading and posting! I read,with interests, your posts. I would not discount the existence of other dimensions. My mother believed in these. Rod Serling wrote about these in The Twilight Zone. SK has addressed these. So it makes one wonder. As far as Sasquatch, not too long ago, the pictures we've seen have been revealed to be fake. This is not to discount your experience, I just wanted to let you know.

[the great kilted one]

Let's see, I live in Florida, and have been to Ohio... and Kentucky once. I was technically born in Virginia...

Erm, all I can really add to this is that I'm a bit jealous. Next time anyone goes to see something strange and unusual or practice weird rituals in foreign countries, I'd like to be packed in your luggage. Please? Loch Ness anyone?

[rose key]

I really enjoyed reading your opening post. Very eloquent and interesting. Yes, I do believe in alternate universes, Steven Hawking's writings and quantum physics. Therefore, yes, also thinnys. Maybe that sasquach thing came through the thinny from another universe. I really believe that's possible.
Love your posts, keep it up. So many times newbies post, and then never come back. I hope you stay with us!:blush::smile2::wink2:

[LadyPain]

Of course I believe there are places where the veil between worlds is thin. I have experienced stuff like that. I have been in a place where I have pointed into a corner that appeared empty and told the person I was with that SOMETHING was there. That corner was like a doorway. It always felt funny.

I have been in a graveyard and had my husband say it felt funny, so I would turn and point in specific areas and say that we were being watched from points A, B and C. Almost like a shimmer in my vision there. Not really a thinny perhaps, but the veil was thin there. He's not fond of graveyards, while I will happily wander through them and see what happens.

[Sundrop]

There is a certain bridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway that my brother always claimed was some kind of time warp. It seems that many times when he drove across the bridge, it would be hours later instead of the mere seconds that it should have taken to cross the bridge. I never experienced anything like that--but it does feel strange sometimes driving across that bridge.

So I'm teaching gifted middle school Language Arts and Science this semester... I'm pretty sure there are a few thinnys in there.

[Killer Bud]

Looks like were all still here. Im still kinda enjoying the irony of people freaking out that Switzerland was going to destroy the world.
It was a good night to watch The Mist, to add the drama of possibilities of the outcome from this experiment. I will admit though, that before I went to sleep last night I made sure to tell my wife that I loved her like I might not ever see her again, a little love insurance never hurt right?
We joked about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), going awry and sucking the planet up into a black hole, and basically decided on going out with shouts of "Woo Hoo!" instead of cringing in fear. None the less it was nice to be woke up this morning with my dog licking me in the face begging to be let out for his morning ritual, yeah were still here, its just another normal day.

An excerpt:

This web of time... embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist. In this one, in which chance has favored me, you have come to my gate. In another, you, crossing the garden, have found me dead. In yet another, I say these very same words, but am an error, a phantom.

[S Mcleod]

Alright.I'm not sure if this will be read or not.If not it doesn't matter but I'd like to get it off my own chest never the less.I'm not sure how long I'll be on here but..i wanted to tell my story anyhow.
This happened about 11 years past now.My cousin,his freind and I decided to take a walk through the woods behind his grandparents house.We kept to the Mostly dried up creak bed and followed it through the woods.Now I've always hunted and am never more content than when in the woods.But I was unfamilar with the place.As we walked along the snaked out creak.I asked every now and then if he was sure where we were.He always did.Latter as luck would have it we got to a T in the bed we went another way I suppose .The woods got dark Fast.Heavy canaopy here.We walked about an hour (crossing and re crossing the divided bed.Until he stopped I asked agine if he knew where we were...no he said looking quiet confussed.Well my answer was less than freindly.We should have made Markers!but didn't."Don't freak out"he said "will leave here and look for the road".We exsited through an opening by a broken cattle fence.
It was a corn field.Not that odd in the midwest.We were almost to a hill and saw no sighn of
telephone polls indicating a road so we continued forward,Hopeing to get a better view on the hill.I suggested we stay by the edge of the field (It's No good getting in the middle of a field).Once we got to the top.We looked over it...Corn..as far as the eye could see.no poles,no houses.no fences,and deffinetly no road.We might have gone back but it wasn't getting any brighter and his friend didn't dig the idea of those woods..so..we went on.From there we kept walking...and walking...no end to it.None,we breasted two more hills.Still no road,no poles.by now his freind was getting more upset.
I felt a bit concerned but still not panicked.Agine we kept on.Strange thing..we didn't see a single bird.Harvest time was getting close there Should have been a crow or two.
But nothing,not a caw,nor a chirp..That was spookey.His friend said we'd been walking the field for three hours now.He was getting close to tears.And had taken out a pocket knife.Nothing to do but keep going.By now we had abandoned the things we had carried
getting too heavy to carry wood,and corn for his horses.Sun was getting lower.My cousin must have been nervouse cus he began makeing jokes about how we stumbled into hell.And pretty soon giant rats would jump us from the soybeans.I was nerved up by now myself (going on 4 and half hours in the fields)and when I get nervouse I Cakle..I really cackle like a lunatic Everythings funny.He kept makeing jokes (To this day I only rember the Rat remark)but I was giggleing like a tune.His friend looked bullshit scared And Screamed at us to SHUT THE F... UP!!he started hacking at the corn with his knife.My cousin calmed him but I just busted up agine..we were quiet after that.
Latter I don't rember how much so..we found Another hill with an old pecan tree on it.We looked every direction..no poles,no road,no break in fields even and of everything THAT was strangest,there were old beans outside the field but no Other fields.Corn on Both sides and a single grassed up strip we stayed by.No break into beans or a Tractor trail..I was almost convinced we were doomed once I saw No End to the corn..it was more horrific than I can explain.We went on though Latter suddenly.We heard a grunting
noise and a Huge blundering crash through the corn to our right..I nearly had a stroke..I don't know What the hell it was (at the time we said deer)But I have heard bucks grunt and this was Nothing like That..Then and there we got on our knees even his friend we put our hands on each others shoulders and prayed God to protect us and help us out of the corn by now according to the watch I think it was something like 6 or more hours out in the corn. We got up and slowly walked on..Not long after we Stumbled through the stocks and collaspsed in a road ditch,Scrapped our hands pretty good too.
We all thanked God.I rember crawling onto the road and wondering how we didn't see the poles.I swear that last hill we didn't see a single pole which are easily 30- high..but we didn't.We went down the road and near dark found his house.I was shakeing from exhaustian.We talk about it to this day.And laugh (now)But..even if no one Belives.It Happened.And I truelly think we were somewhere else and the grace of God got us out.
I don't know what would have happened to us if not for our prayer.Maybe we would have met the thing in the corn.We have never gone down that creak bed.Even all these years latter.
Thanks for listeing if anyone reads this.At any rate I'm glad I told my story.It was a touch of Somewhere else.and It is scarey even now.But it's also amazeing I'll never forget it.
Thank you.

if there are thinnys then this could explain aliens, monsters, and ghosts. but i do believe their are thinnys or places close to being one like the mystery spots and the bermuda triangle.
and that picture does look like a neanderthal. when you described it i thought you were talking about a Skunkape which is common in the south.

I was talking about a skunk ape. I dont know how "common" they are, but if you ever almost run one over and have to describe it I would be very interested in your description.

I recently moved back to Florida, and back into an area I am familiar with. There is this place here, back in the swamps, where there is a lake with an island right in the middle of it. The locals call it Witch Island. Anyways it is one of those places Ive explored that inadvertantly made my hair stand up on occasion and gave me a sense of a thin veil. Im going back there again today. If there is a thinny there and I manage to find it, Ill send ya'll a post card.

I feel like i'm walking into a thinny when i go to work. :biggrin2:

[linkinjen2001]

this is an interesting thread. i definitly believe in thinnys. in another thread i wrote about experiences my husband, brother-in law and I have had in the woods behind my husbands parent's house. the whole area is very creepy and every time you go back there it makes you feel very paranoid. like you are being followed. it's so strange, there are a series of paths crisscrossing the woods. for some reason every time we walk back there we get all turned around. it is so hard to keep a sense of direction back there. anyway i think that there is something not quiet right about that spot, maybe it's a thinny i don't know

[tigerlilly2k]

Ive been all over the world, stood on Aztec sacrificial altars and gazed into mexican jungles when I was just 7, danced naked around bon fires on sabbats playing drums and worshipped mother earth in Germany, to abandoning my car on the side of the road and hiking to the woods with rainbow children, and joined them sleeping on the ground and foraging for food wherever we could find it. Ive survived hurricanes in a houseboat in the Florida Keys that was almost shattered to pieces from the violent waves slamming it into the seawall over and over all night long.

When I was 12, I had a real encounter with sasquatch, and came close to running over him with my bicycle. At the time we lived in the swamps close to the mouth of the Suwannee River just a few miles from an an ancient 2000 year old midden shell mound that towers over the flat muddy oyster bars.

Our home was a mile away from the main road and I usually rode my bike early in the morning to be the first one the bus driver picked up on the bus route. This particular morning I was pedaling briskly down the limerock covered road when he stepped out from the woods and started to cross the road. I was moving along rather briskly as I mentioned and the wheels made no sound on the road, in a short moment of contemplation I pondered what I should do next, suddenly the ten speed bike started making the clicking noise they make when you stop pedaling, and sasquatch turned to me suddenly with a look of fear and surprise.

By this time I had made the decision to use my momentum and just ride by him as fast as I could. I had to get even closer to him and I took in every detail of his physical characteristics as I drew steadily closer to him. By the time I got to where I saw him cross the road he had just gotten to the other side and he started running into the woods howling loudly and I remember the sound of the wood on the trees of branches snapping violently as he made his escape.

I was 12 at the time, and have had nightmares of that morning creep into my thoughts almost 26 years later. Ive gone as far as having a sasquatch sketch artist make a composition of what I saw.

Id post a picture of it but dont have 15 posts here yet.

Sasquatch didnt look like the furry depiction on the infamous bigfoot footage from the 1970's in Washington, or Oregon, or wherever they filmed that at. He stood upright more like a human than an gorilla, but had the graceful gait similar to a gorilla. He wasn't covered in thick fur either, it had more of a dark, long, wispy look to it in various patches over a very muscular physique. That is one of the things that has always stood out more than anything else was the muscle tone throughout his body. He stood over 7' tall, and I had no doubt in my mind that what I was seeing was faked.

The road I rode my bicycle to the schoolbus had something wierd about this one particular section. The left side where I initially saw sasquatch felt benign to me, it was ok... but the other side always gave me the creeps. There was this tree, a tall old cypress tree. It was bare of branches most of the way up, except for one. It stretched out like an old witch's gnarled finger, like it was pointing away from the right side of the road, warning you to turn back. Just passing the tree and looking past it into the dark swampy water, its cypress knees jutting out from its depths, with their twisted looking faces growing on them, made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

I sensed before my encounter there was something odd about this particular spot, and most assuredly knew there was afterwards. I had found a thinny. I didn't call it that then, I didn't have a name for it, at the time, as I was basically being written off by most folks I told my story to. My teachers, the bus driver, kids on the bus that day, they saw the fear inside me, and even my father laughed at me, and I still had to go by there even the next day on my bike, wondering if he was watching and possibly waiting for me to pass by and kill me before I told anyone else. I never saw it again, but I really wished that a grown up would of just taken the time to go back there with me and scout the area out for signs of it actually happening.

Im still not sure if thinnys actually exist, because I never been through one and entered a multiple dimension, but I do believe that they are scientifically possible, and explainable with the discovery of quantum physics. Who knows what modern science will accomplish with quantum physics in the future, one day they will possibly be the gatekeepers. I believe in predetermination over free will, and knew it was meant for me to share this at this moment because I was meant to, not because I chose to. SK led me here with his writings, and opened my mind to things I have pondered over for a long time. For that I thank you.



Yes, I think there are Thinnys. Probably the Bermuda Triangle is a major Thinny.

I also think we can "create" a Thinny--You've done a bit of Pagan ritual...dont you think the point of ritual magic is to temporarily create a Thinny?A space between the worlds of ordinary and UNordinary Reality?

It could be said that the normal experience of dreaming is a kind of THINNY. PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN "GHOSTS', or had other out-of-the-ordinary experiences may have stepped into a Thinny.

There's stuff going on out there...that much, I know.

in an infinite universe anything is possible. but i wonder, or speculate, what condition those other worlds are in, what stage are they at? maybe other worlds are only coming into being as we evolve.

suppose those other worlds are evolving just as ours is ever-changing. most scientific! i'm thinking of those guys who have photographed shapes flashing across their film, shapes like some of the early life forms on this world, flying-centipedes of light. so maybe there are other worlds that evolve in our mind and those flying centipedes are a manifestation of that happening. dunno. interesting idea.

if there are infinite worlds alongside, why do they need to be replicas of our world? or why would they need to be a few seconds behind? or a few years ahead? or why would they even be composed of the same elements as ours?

now, if all gather our forces, we can make that elephant hear us!

Hi,

This is an interesting thread. I have had multiple strange experiences of my own and can verify, roughly, what some of you are implying.

Thinnies do exist, IMO.

Although maybe not like we would like to think. :wink2:

How about a social group to discuss paranormal experiences, if there is not one already?

Long days and pleasant nights

I don't think I personally could understand a book by S. Hawking. I don't mean to say I am stupid, I just don't think I could comprehend it. The universe freaks me out anyway, just the massive size and when I think too long on the subject I come up with way too many questions. As with the Triangles of the world a thinny is a good explanation, better than any I have heard so far.

I know some pubs just like that.
