I actually hope it stays that way, I don't want an influx of blind sheep ruining such great content. Bedtime Stories is on the verge of flipping over into 12 year old "ha ha is funny" / "so scary u guise" content now that they've begun to cater to Ballen and Paulides fan sheep.
That might be true, it might not want us to know _what_ it is, but it does want us to explore the possibilities. Otherwise, why would they do it? It/they are making us see and experience these bizarre things. If they didn't want us to know, they would leave us alone or act in a more covert manner.
You are correct and the other Commenter is too . We Humans don't know everything, even though some think we are SO superior ... we just know it ALL. NOT! Take care my friend. 🤠🖖♨️
Humans are merely animals like every other sentient being on the planet. If there are beings messing with us we are naturally going to be as bewildered as wild animals who may receive care or have a tracker placed on them for conservation efforts. Once we reject human exceptionalism (which is a baseless and untennable philosophical position to hold in the first place), we can see the truth of the matter. We are simply slightly cleverer chimpanzees getting all worked up over the smarter kids on the block, or maybe even getting worked up over nothing at all.
@@perhapsyes2493 That begs the question as to why though. What would *any* intelligence (particularly one as powerful as this one seems to be) have to gain spending its time being so careful in spurring a civilization's progress while going out of its way to keep that very civilization from realizing it exists at all? It's almost as if, in a weird sort of way, our progress *is* their progress.
This was pure gold! A subject I've been itching to know more about. I really appreciate how you don't just pump out a bunch of poorly thought out crap. Your videos are always engaging, original, and don't waste the viewers time or insult their intelligence. You rock yo!!!
The amount of study Jason Charbonneau and work his team put into a TA video are what makes one of the productions so interesting. Twenty-five books and papers are cited in the bibliography as of its debut, 19 June 2024.
So glad to see a new video. By the way, I just wanted to let you know that as an experiencer, I'm glad your channel is around. It has some of the few, most relevant content I have found. This "UAP/ UFO" phenomenon is in every way shape and form... well, shapeless and formless. It's an intelligence that's both coming through from within as well as from outside of our reality. Again, great video.
Believe it or not; but I remember my little sister telling us that she had seen this bipedal entity with the head of a rabbit one night wandering in the room where my mother gathered us to sleep with her when our father worked at night. She said she was the only one who woke up, we were all asleep at the moment, me, my mother and our other sister. She told her story first thing in the morning and we never really knew what to think about it since, and given that we had rabbits in their cages in the yard, but well outside the house. She was never one to make things up or lie; she must have been 5 years old, today she is a gendarme. This story happened in 2001 or 2002 in Mboro, Senegal, West Africa.
Very interesting story, thanks for sharing that. A cousin of mine has had many anomalous experiences in his life, but one involved little mechanical spiders crawling all over his room at night. He tried to crush them, but they would regain their shape after being squished, as if they were made up rubber. He ran to his parents room but couldn't wake them. I don't even know what to do with stories like these. How do we categorize them? How can we even begin to understand what they mean?
The king has returned! Keep it up man. You got me through the war in Israel and Gaza and back home. I watched your videos while I was there. It kept me calm in a warzone.
@@alexmartin3143 i was giving humanitarian aid to both Palestinians and Israelis with doctor without borders. I’m not a doctor, but I was helping out with the logistics behind it all.

When you have a paranormal event happen. I noticed just when it starts you become aware for a split second that something is going to happen. Then when you see the event you become frozen in awe and self doubt at the same time. As the event is happening. You are not thinking about grabbing a camera. You are watching something play out and you must let it play out. When the event passes the first thing to come back is sound. For some odd reason sound almost turns off as the event happens or your brain stops processing sound during the event. So sound comes back first and it's very noticable. Then the feeling of dread. Then comes the process of self confirmation. Did that actually happen? Then you ponder the meaning of what happened and how to internalize it. There is a process to it but for me at least. It's the spit second of knowing before a event happens. It's like I'm programmed to watch something happen. The no sound thing is spooky when you notice it's always gone first. and internalizing what was the meaning make me wonder the most. I believe someone or something has a tech that can mess with our brain electrochemical processes. Basically it can make us see what it wants us to see. The tell tale sign is you know when it's just about to happen a split sec before it's starts. If you saw something paranormal. For real. Then I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about. I don't believe it's a trickster. I believe it's something else.
@@Kristopherberry I've had sleep paralysis a few times. Completely different. Just hold your breath and it breaks you out in seconds. I'll give you a quick example. I was in my apartment. Sitting in my room with my door open. I hear walking coming down my hallway and I instantly thought. It's my roommate. So I wait a sec or two and expect him to walk in and say hi. So wait. Then all the sudden instead of my roommate a old lady with blond hair peeks into my room. It was so unexpected that I didn't say anything. I was thinking. Oh a old person wondered into the wrong apartment. She was looking at the opposite wall from where I was sitting. I watched her scan my stuff. She had bright blue eyes. Just looked like a typical old person. So after about 5 secs. I'm getting ready to ask her if she needs help. Just then she looks at me. Her eyes widen in surprise. She leans back out into the hallway. I get up immediately. Less then a sec I'm at the door and I peek out. She is still there. I'm looking down and I'm about to ask if she needs help. Just then I noticed she had invisible legs knees down. I could see the rug where her legs should be. This is daytime btw. Anyways. I look back up and start to put together what is happening. She shrugs at me and FLOATS. Not walk floats backwards still looking at me and turned invisible about 6 feet away. I slam the door in freight. Pure freight. I sit down and feel my heart slap against my ribcage. Then all the sudden. Everything got loud. Like during the whole thing I didn't notice any sound till I heard her walking towards my room. Once I sat down. All the birds outside, the TV. It's like I was def when the event happened and now I could hear again. Also I noticed just before I saw her I knew something was way off and it's wasn't my roommate. Only a spit sec before she leaned in. I posted my full story on Reddit a few times looking for others that experience the same thing. Anyways a few years later and I saw a UFO about 2 hundred feet of the ground. It was just cruising by and I noticed immediately the no sound thing. It's like when something so strange happens. It's like your body knows to just look. You somehow know to drop everything and look at this spot something incredible is going to happen. It's like some force that makes you stare and not hear anything. I've talked with other online and that's when I found people that noticed there is no sound and just before whatever paranormal event happens. You get this spit second knowing something is incredibly off. Hope that helps. I'm not special. I don't believe I'm a medium or a psychic. I'm barley spiritual. I just noticed a feeling before strange things happen. And talking to others online I been reading others noticed it too just before whatever happened to them. I believe it's true a alien abductees could prob feel it when they are coming.
@@MURD3RWAVE That’s incredible! Could you share the link to your chat? I want to know more about this stuff. I have heard this before. People who have had near death experiences have later seen ufo’s. It’s like you guys tap into something. The only thing I have ever experienced is feelings from people without them saying a word or dreams that later come true. Thank you for sharing. I want to know more
I've been reading bob Monroe and I've been thinking that perhaps there is no sound because the experiencer is actually having an out of body experience and just not noticing it (you don't need to float away from your body)
@@farquoi no. I don't. It's just like normal. Except a feeling I have a hard time putting into words. It's like sound dims to nothing. Then a feeling of awe that turns to dread. It sucks because I get why people think others are making stories up. I used to think the same thing. In all honesty. There is something that is out there and when it interacts with you it feels so wrong. Like it's a shotgun blast to your world view. I say a ghost and a UFO in my life. I consider the ghost the worst because I watched her. She made steps walking to my room. That's what caught my attention to look at my door and expect my roommate. This happened about 8 years ago. I think about it all the time. She made noises. So they have a psychical effect on the world. I watched her look around my room. So she was thinking about something. Then when she shrugged at me. I felt it was a oh you caught me. I wasn't expecting you either. Then to watch a human being float backwards and vanish. It's so messed up! The UFO thing was a fluke. I was stuck in traffic. We all saw it. Only for a few secs. But it was a machine floating in the air. Like I said. Both times just a split sec before. I felt something super important was about to happen. Sound was gone compared during the event. So odd. Keeps me up at night when I think about why. And also why me. Why do I have to know. It's so annoying to hear people disrespect what I saw.
Another amazing video, as always. I’ll have to add ‘The Trickster and the Paranormal’ to my reading list, gotta delve more into the concept as a whole. Can’t wait to see what you’ll cover next, and if you plan on doing a UFO case review anytime soon, I’d love to see you cover the Emilcin Abduction of 1978. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words! The book is a fairly difficult read - heavy on the details and light on the summing up - but it contains a lot of important insights. I had never heard of the Emilcin abduction before, but it sounds fascinating. Thanks for the recommendation!
Heeeeeey. You're still churnin' out material, and that's cool. I'd thought I'd missed the peak of your activity cause I've seen every video by now (in your archives) :P and Perhaps I have. Anyways, It's quite dandy that you uploaded this subject >>> I'm bonded to the Trickster archetype: as an entity operating outside the realm o' norms. Cheers.
I see now: all of your prior content was leading up to this connection of dots. If these entities are trans-dimensional shit-stirrers, I wonder why it is that supposed recovered alien spacecrafts are of a dense material to be manipulated by 3rd dimensional desires of low vibratory fleshes. It is the claim that they are powered psionically... There is an overlap we cannot grasp.
Good video. Everytime you give a step forward to explain the misteries of our world. Maybe not all UFO encounters come from Tricksters but most of the weirdest surely are.
Agreed. It's a tough concept you really wrap your head around, and it doesn't necessarily provide a lot of "answers," per se, but it really gives you a new way to think about anomalous experiences that provides some kind of a logic to them.
Thanks for saying so! I'm really proud of this video, and I learned so much in doing the research for it. Everyone who's interested in anomalous phenomena should be familiar with the trickster archetype and its connections with anomalous phenomena.
Easily the best ELI5 overview of the phenomena. Your best video yet. I've long thought the elusiveness of the phenomena is a fundamental and defining property of it. "Disclosure" is ultimately impossible for this reason, since there is nothing to disclose. Analysis of "crash retrievals" will yield nothing actionable, just like analysis of big foot fur & foot steps yields only further ambiguity. The control system is working as designed. The last 8 minutes, including the idea that fraud in the psychic field is baked into the cake, so to speak, was mind blowing as it perfectly articulates how omnipotent and pervasive this phenomena is. This video describes the closest thing we will ever get to "disclosure" or "understanding" the phenomena. Well done.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm really proud of this video, and I'm very glad to know that people are connecting with it. I learned a lot in the process of researching this one, and it's really helped advance my own understanding of anomalous phenomena. I'm just trying to pass on a little bit of what I've learned to the wider community of anomalists.
I just randomly found this channel through the Zimbabwe school ufo story, holy shit this dude puts an incredible amount of effort into these videos. How the hell doesn't this guy have at least a million subscribers? RUclips is fucking up not pushing this channel more. Interesting topics with quality videos, this channel is a true hidden gem.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying my content. RUclips is burying my videos in the search algorithms, and only seems to recommend some of videos to people browsing similar content. My subscriber count grew by leaps and bounds in 2018/ early 2019, but has grown at a glacial pace ever since.
I understand that trickster archetypes might seem to be related to paranormal experiences, but I think that's actually an instance of correlation not necessarily being causation. Monsters are clearest on the horizon and due to humanity's natural fear of someone or something disrupting the natural order it's easy for them to be assigned to that. A good way of telling this is the numerous ways tricksters are utilized in mythology and folklore. It indicates something far deeper. I will admit that the idea of tricksters being a social mechanism humans evolved to keep renewing our social norms is compelling. The machine elves and kaleidoscope jesters during DMT and LSD trips are different enough as I think there's something very telling that a fool comes to teach you a lesson. Something in our culture that survives by humiliating itself either by mocking you or as stated before teaching you a lesson, I feel is something aimed, feared by, or generated as a consequence of our egos. And the ego is very much a personal psychological aspect rather than a social one, which the trickster archetype seems to be at. Unless of course social ego is a thing. Personally I think that the answer to a lot of paranormal phenomena lies in the quantum properties of cellular microtubules and the EM sensitivity of DNA acting like a fractal antenna under certain conditions.
I'm not sure myself if the trickster is an actual spirit or autonomous agent, or if it's just a model for understanding anomalous phenomena. Either way, I believe that it helps our understanding to think in terms of the trickster.
@@ThinkAnomalous Something that has always bothered me is why do a physical thing when doing something entirely within someone's mind is far more cost effective in terms of energy spent? It's almost never entirely one or the other but a combination of the 2.
I met George Hensen and gave a talk at Tricksters at the CG Jung Center in NYC (there's a video of it on my channel.) Your video is one of the best summaries I've heard on this topic. Congrats!
According to scholars, the figure of the trickster is also important in the field of literature. Some say that characters like Hamlet or Judge Holden exhibit characteristics comparable to those of the trickster. Great video, mr. Charbonneau. I really like the way your work connects tropes and themes within anomalistics with a certain broader context, touching on history and the field of the human psyche itself.
5:26 the Esu account reminds me quite a bit of the different interpretations of the UFO phenomena i.e. ariel landing (though they could also be explained by differences in the witnesses' minds)
Thanks for saying so! I'm glad to hear that people are connecting with the video. It was a very difficult one to make, but I learned a lot in the process, and I hope that others learn a lot from watching it.
I just discovered your channel today with the story of Carl Higdon's abduction. You've got a new subscriber (a french one). I'm really glad to have loads of new interesting videos to watch. I've seen ufos and ghosts so I know weird stuff happens and that we should keep an open mind.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you upload a video it is music to my soul. I genuinely believe that you’re up there with The Why Files, just that RUclips hides you. If you haven’t already, get in touch. It’s not like your content is any way offensive. Anyway, always glad to see you back, the very best of luck for the future.
Quality can never be rushed, folks. Enjoy the diamond standard that is Think Anomalous!. 04:56; the story of the hat reminds me of a tale of skeptics on their way to convention via a train. After spotting one lone black sheep amid white ones, they begin to argue about the color of sheep. To the point of conclding that sheep are half white and half black only part of the time.
I found the book to be a pretty challenging read. I also started reading it once a year ago and gave up. He really buries you in details and doesn’t do a lot in the way of summing up. I feel that the book could have been better presented, but the points he made are really important. I feel as though my understanding of anomalous phenomena grew significantly after reading this book - I haven’t felt that way about a book since reading Jacques Vallee’s stuff years ago.
Brilliant, original and well researched. Fab. Surprised you didn't mention poltergeists or that weird spirit that when you roll a cigarette, blows it out of your hand 😗😒 😊
There was so much to mention on this topic. Writing it was a real struggle. Obviously, there were so many other connections that I could have mentioned, but didn't have the space.
Something new entering the human consciousness requires a familiar guide towards its collective understanding, not just individual insight. Different for the brain means different for everyone, not just the discoverer.
Love your videos. Please consider looking into the 2016 Pentyrch UFO incident in Wales. It's a story that's seemingly been buried, but witnesses continue to come out. It would also fit in with the other UFO cases that you've covered.
I think this phenomenon, whatever it is, acts as an agent of change. Not necessarily for good nor bad, just 'change' in whichever way it goes. To build new things, one needs to first clear ground. The point you made about it being more prevalent in times of political dissatisfaction was quite poignant. I don't think there are many who are happy with how things are right now.
You know what's also really funny? In many accounts of 'angels' or 'aliens', the entities tell the witness to "not be afraid", and yet the entities themselves are the ones who fear being exposed! How ironic it gets!
Angels are a different beast altogether. They are under strict orders to keep their interventions at a minimum in order to preserve human free will and faith. It'd be pointless for God to demand faith from us if the existence of the spirit world was as self evident as water.
To be fair, the trickster just represents the fact that someone is capable of fooling you. It’s an attempt to teach a lesson without teaching it the hard way.
Thanks so much! I was a bit worried about how this one would be received. People always like my abduction videos the best, but I like to introduce my viewers to new theoretical perspectives as well. It's not my most popular video by any stretch, but it seems like a lot of viewers like you really got something out of it. I learned so much myself just doing the research.
t's like something out there (or within us?) knows more about reality than we do and loves to tease and spook us. There's another phenomenon called [dee oh ge em a en] where witnesses often describe how the beast would pose in a menacing manner or even hunt the witness, only to then have a smirk on its face knowing how much it terrified the witness.
I swear this is the most underrated channel
Yeah this and Beyond Creepy. There's real research and passion in these two. There's so much second and third rate stuff though.
RUclips’s algorithm isn’t made for a brilliant channel like this

Such an incredible channel.
Most underrated channel on RUclips
Another amazing video, as always. I’ll have to add ‘The Trickster and the Paranormal’ to my reading list, gotta delve more into the concept as a whole. Can’t wait to see what you’ll cover next, and if you plan on doing a UFO case review anytime soon, I’d love to see you cover the Emilcin Abduction of 1978. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words! The book is a fairly difficult read - heavy on the details and light on the summing up - but it contains a lot of important insights. I had never heard of the Emilcin abduction before, but it sounds fascinating. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@ThinkAnomalous
The Kera UFO encounter(s) also just came to mind, that one’s also a pretty interesting case.
Heeeeeey. You're still churnin' out material, and that's cool.
I'd thought I'd missed the peak of your activity cause I've seen every video by now (in your archives) :P and Perhaps I have.
Anyways, It's quite dandy that you uploaded this subject >>> I'm bonded to the Trickster archetype: as an entity operating outside the realm o' norms. Cheers.
I see now: all of your prior content was leading up to this connection of dots.
If these entities are trans-dimensional shit-stirrers, I wonder why it is that supposed recovered alien spacecrafts are of a dense material to be manipulated by 3rd dimensional desires of low vibratory fleshes.
It is the claim that they are powered psionically... There is an overlap we cannot grasp.
FINALLY! NEW POST!! YESSS!! MADE MY YEAR!❤
No way you posted now, lets gooooooo TA you da best
Good video. Everytime you give a step forward to explain the misteries of our world. Maybe not all UFO encounters come from Tricksters but most of the weirdest surely are.
Yay new video. I like how you try to stick to facts or verifiable details
Best channel ever
As always, a great video. i love how you talk about these themes in quite broad ways
Thanks!
Yes! New Think Anomalous video. The Trickster archetype is very important.
Agreed. It's a tough concept you really wrap your head around, and it doesn't necessarily provide a lot of "answers," per se, but it really gives you a new way to think about anomalous experiences that provides some kind of a logic to them.
Just noticed this during my second work break... what a great way to kick off my weekend.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve been waiting man! Thanks so much. Please make more content.
I wish I could upload faster, but one video every 2 - 3 months is the best that I can do.
Absolutely love the art on this channel, really gives the videos a unique look I think other channels like this are missing.
Thanks! I love V. R. Laurence's work. We're so lucky to have her.
Yours is the best channel out there! Underrated gem. Congrats on the video, in my view it's one of your best.
Thanks for saying so! I'm really proud of this video, and I learned so much in doing the research for it. Everyone who's interested in anomalous phenomena should be familiar with the trickster archetype and its connections with anomalous phenomena.
Easily the best ELI5 overview of the phenomena. Your best video yet. I've long thought the elusiveness of the phenomena is a fundamental and defining property of it. "Disclosure" is ultimately impossible for this reason, since there is nothing to disclose. Analysis of "crash retrievals" will yield nothing actionable, just like analysis of big foot fur & foot steps yields only further ambiguity. The control system is working as designed. The last 8 minutes, including the idea that fraud in the psychic field is baked into the cake, so to speak, was mind blowing as it perfectly articulates how omnipotent and pervasive this phenomena is. This video describes the closest thing we will ever get to "disclosure" or "understanding" the phenomena. Well done.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm really proud of this video, and I'm very glad to know that people are connecting with it. I learned a lot in the process of researching this one, and it's really helped advance my own understanding of anomalous phenomena. I'm just trying to pass on a little bit of what I've learned to the wider community of anomalists.
I just randomly found this channel through the Zimbabwe school ufo story, holy shit this dude puts an incredible amount of effort into these videos. How the hell doesn't this guy have at least a million subscribers? RUclips is fucking up not pushing this channel more. Interesting topics with quality videos, this channel is a true hidden gem.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying my content. RUclips is burying my videos in the search algorithms, and only seems to recommend some of videos to people browsing similar content. My subscriber count grew by leaps and bounds in 2018/ early 2019, but has grown at a glacial pace ever since.
I understand that trickster archetypes might seem to be related to paranormal experiences, but I think that's actually an instance of correlation not necessarily being causation. Monsters are clearest on the horizon and due to humanity's natural fear of someone or something disrupting the natural order it's easy for them to be assigned to that. A good way of telling this is the numerous ways tricksters are utilized in mythology and folklore. It indicates something far deeper. I will admit that the idea of tricksters being a social mechanism humans evolved to keep renewing our social norms is compelling.
The machine elves and kaleidoscope jesters during DMT and LSD trips are different enough as I think there's something very telling that a fool comes to teach you a lesson. Something in our culture that survives by humiliating itself either by mocking you or as stated before teaching you a lesson, I feel is something aimed, feared by, or generated as a consequence of our egos. And the ego is very much a personal psychological aspect rather than a social one, which the trickster archetype seems to be at. Unless of course social ego is a thing.
Personally I think that the answer to a lot of paranormal phenomena lies in the quantum properties of cellular microtubules and the EM sensitivity of DNA acting like a fractal antenna under certain conditions.
I'm not sure myself if the trickster is an actual spirit or autonomous agent, or if it's just a model for understanding anomalous phenomena. Either way, I believe that it helps our understanding to think in terms of the trickster.
@@ThinkAnomalous Something that has always bothered me is why do a physical thing when doing something entirely within someone's mind is far more cost effective in terms of energy spent? It's almost never entirely one or the other but a combination of the 2.
@@ThinkAnomalous no
I met George Hensen and gave a talk at Tricksters at the CG Jung Center in NYC (there's a video of it on my channel.) Your video is one of the best summaries I've heard on this topic. Congrats!
Thanks! I think Hansen would be a fascinating guy to talk to.
So happy you posted! This is my favorite channel. :)
Thanks Diana, and thanks for your generous donation. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos!
You don't how much happiness brings me seeing a new notification from your channel. Thanks.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed the video.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips. Please don't slow down
Hurray! Best present from my most fav channel. Thanks!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
He’s back!
According to scholars, the figure of the trickster is also important in the field of literature. Some say that characters like Hamlet or Judge Holden exhibit characteristics comparable to those of the trickster. Great video, mr. Charbonneau. I really like the way your work connects tropes and themes within anomalistics with a certain broader context, touching on history and the field of the human psyche itself.
phenomenal channel!! grateful for these videos
Thanks so much for watching! You post some really interesting videos yourself.
@@ThinkAnomalous Thanks very much... hugely admire your work, I'd love to connect further sometime. All the very best!!
5:26 the Esu account reminds me quite a bit of the different interpretations of the UFO phenomena i.e. ariel landing (though they could also be explained by differences in the witnesses' minds)
I was just showing my gf you video's last night saying how i hope you post another one soon. Please never stop making these!
You don't have one
@dietisgreat well maybe not anymore after forcing her to watch ufo videos with me
I won't be doing this channel forever, but I've got another year or two of videos in me, at least.
The greatest channel on RUclips is back
I was recently wondering when you would make another video! Pleasantly surprised!
I hope you enjoyed it!
An excellent video essay. I wish more paranormal content was this well composed and researched.
Thanks! And me too!
This is the best of youtube.
Amazing video as always! Expanding our views on the subject!
Thanks for saying so! I'm glad to hear that people are connecting with the video. It was a very difficult one to make, but I learned a lot in the process, and I hope that others learn a lot from watching it.
Halfway through but theres a book called "Trickster Makes this World", its a really good read and I'm kind of obsessed with the trickster motif
Amazing content you got. Very underrated channel, you deserve many more subs and views.
I love your videos and am always happy to see a new one on my subscription list. Thanks for such high-quality pieces.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Only channel whose videos I immediately click 'like' before watching.
Glad to see the channel growing
The best channel on YT.
Thanks for saying so!
man i love your channel
Always happy to see another video from you. Great content as always. Hope you will get more subscribers.
Think Anomalous is back 😮
*Everyone please share Think Anamolous’ videos so we can break them out of this shadow ban and get more frequent videos again!!*
This is actually amazing. So many good connections!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I learned a lot in the process of researching it, and I'm glad that other people are connecting with it.
Glad you're still making videos!
I just discovered your channel today with the story of Carl Higdon's abduction. You've got a new subscriber (a french one). I'm really glad to have loads of new interesting videos to watch. I've seen ufos and ghosts so I know weird stuff happens and that we should keep an open mind.
Appreciate your videos! Happy to see a new one today
This video is sooooo interesting and thought provoking. Thank you for making it.
Fist new video since I followed, nice. Very excited.
I love this channel. You deserve more subscribes.
Thanks for saying so!
You should have WAY more subs! Your channel is great 👍
Think Anomalous!!!!!!!
Don't get too exicted, this might be his last upload this year 🤷🏽♂️
Why?@@antoniogreen9176
This is really cool and very interesting i actually just went on a ghost hunt yesterday
Hell yea i was just wondering when there was gonna be a new upload ❤
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you upload a video it is music to my soul. I genuinely believe that you’re up there with The Why Files, just that RUclips hides you. If you haven’t already, get in touch. It’s not like your content is any way offensive. Anyway, always glad to see you back, the very best of luck for the future.
Thanks so much for the kind words on my channel! I don't really understand the shadow ban, but it's great to be reaching as many people as I am.
babe wake up, new TA just dropped
Great research & visuals...think I will be lookjng at the fox that regularly visits my garden as a trickster from now on...🙂🦊
Thanks!
Brilliant. There's this line by poet Leonard Cohen: "There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
So interesting! Great channel! Always excited when there is new vid🎉
why do i have a strage feeling of deja vu watching this episode excellent as always.
Quality can never be rushed, folks. Enjoy the diamond standard that is Think Anomalous!.
04:56; the story of the hat reminds me of a tale of skeptics on their way to convention via a train. After spotting one lone black sheep amid white ones, they begin to argue about the color of sheep. To the point of conclding that sheep are half white and half black only part of the time.
Thanks for the kind words! And great connection with the sheep story. It's a funny one.
Me who started reading The Trickster and the Paranormal but never finished it lol
Great video. Very well researched as it should be.
I found the book to be a pretty challenging read. I also started reading it once a year ago and gave up. He really buries you in details and doesn’t do a lot in the way of summing up. I feel that the book could have been better presented, but the points he made are really important. I feel as though my understanding of anomalous phenomena grew significantly after reading this book - I haven’t felt that way about a book since reading Jacques Vallee’s stuff years ago.
@@ThinkAnomalousHave you thought about getting into a mystical tradition in order to learn how to contact these beings directly?
Love your videos
What a well researched episode! Love it ❤
Thanks! I learned a lot researching this one.
Brilliant, original and well researched. Fab. Surprised you didn't mention poltergeists or that weird spirit that when you roll a cigarette, blows it out of your hand 😗😒 😊
There was so much to mention on this topic. Writing it was a real struggle. Obviously, there were so many other connections that I could have mentioned, but didn't have the space.
The GOAT is back!!! ❤
love your channel thanks man
Thanks!
He's back! So excited!
your best vid yet, I'm gonna sample this audio in my film
Cool! Thanks.
I wonder if the phenomena is out of ourselves or a construction of our collective mind akin to a tulpa-god.
Awesome work, thank you.
Something new entering the human consciousness requires a familiar guide towards its collective understanding, not just individual insight. Different for the brain means different for everyone, not just the discoverer.
Love your videos. Please consider looking into the 2016 Pentyrch UFO incident in Wales. It's a story that's seemingly been buried, but witnesses continue to come out. It would also fit in with the other UFO cases that you've covered.
I think this phenomenon, whatever it is, acts as an agent of change.
Not necessarily for good nor bad, just 'change' in whichever way it goes. To build new things, one needs to first clear ground.
The point you made about it being more prevalent in times of political dissatisfaction was quite poignant.
I don't think there are many who are happy with how things are right now.
V. R. Laurence is getting really damn good
Amen to that.
You know what's also really funny? In many accounts of 'angels' or 'aliens', the entities tell the witness to "not be afraid", and yet the entities themselves are the ones who fear being exposed! How ironic it gets!
Maybe they were giving themselves pep talks all along?
Angels are a different beast altogether. They are under strict orders to keep their interventions at a minimum in order to preserve human free will and faith. It'd be pointless for God to demand faith from us if the existence of the spirit world was as self evident as water.
To be fair, the trickster just represents the fact that someone is capable of fooling you. It’s an attempt to teach a lesson without teaching it the hard way.
Absolutely phenomenal job with this one. Wow
Thanks so much! I was a bit worried about how this one would be received. People always like my abduction videos the best, but I like to introduce my viewers to new theoretical perspectives as well. It's not my most popular video by any stretch, but it seems like a lot of viewers like you really got something out of it. I learned so much myself just doing the research.
This makes a lot of sense
t's like something out there (or within us?) knows more about reality than we do and loves to tease and spook us. There's another phenomenon called [dee oh ge em a en] where witnesses often describe how the beast would pose in a menacing manner or even hunt the witness, only to then have a smirk on its face knowing how much it terrified the witness.
I had to censor because of the yt fascists
“Honey! New Think Anomalous video is up!”
