Forums · Eclipse of the Moon
Well, at least on my end, things have been pretty odd for several months -- I've seen people acting odd, driving crazy, etc... more than usual. I'm avoiding WalMart like the plague, as that is where most of the weirdness in my part of the world is centered.
As for the paranormal -- I did have something really weird happen. Just this evening, we decided to go out and look at the eclipse. I grabbed the digital camera and took a few pics at a nearby cemetary. I think a lot of them were dust particles, but a few appear to be very bright orbs. I'll try to send them to Kell in a few days to see what she thinks -- they were pretty interesting. Anyway, we get back to the house, go into the den, and hubby and I both smell this wonderful aroma of fresh baked bread. I'm smelling it right now as I'm typing. James is a true skeptic, so he ran all over the house trying to find a logical explanation. After several minutes of searching, he came back very perplexed that he couldn't find anything logical.
This is nearing the time that my mother passed away last year, and just today I was rumaging through her recipes. Mom always enjoyed cooking, so I hope she's whipping something yummy up in her new existance! Anyhow, I thought it was kinda neat, especially with it corresponding with the lunar eclipse.
I had always heard both my mother and grandmother refer to this phenomenon as "blood on the moon", and there was always an implication about an increase in the paranormal when it occured. With the eclipse so near Halloween, I can't help but wonder if there has been an increase in activity elsewhere. I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard this term, and if they are also experiencing more unusual things than usual.

Go figure it was a very cloudy night here tonight so we were not able to see the eclipse. They mentioned it on the news this morning that venus was going to be very bright as well and give off a orange glow which the moon would reflect giving it a jack-o-lantern effect. Did either of you happen notice the moon having an orange glow? You would think it would be Mars that would do that?
As for weirdness, well hubby and I were just talking this evening that crime has really been up this past week and they are all violent crimes. Four more reported this morning. Our city has it's share of crime but not normaly so many violent ones in such a short span. I have not heard of the term 'Blood On the Moon' but it sure would fit to some of the activity we have heard of lately.
Carrie your smelling of the baked bread touched me. On Monday evening I had an amazing experience with a spiritual medium and I have to say it certainly has opened my mind and belief even more than it already was. I may post a little more about it one day soon, just not quite ready, as it was an emotional experience for me. With that said I feel your experience may very well have been a little sign for you.![[Rainbow Smiley]](graemlins/color.gif)
I would love to see your pictures should you decide to post them.

Thanks Cat! I thought it was pretty neat also. I would love to find a reliable medium someday in my area, but so far, no luck!
Yes, the moon did indeed have an orange glow to it, it was pretty spectacular here. Of course, out here we're away from any city lights and things can be seen very clearly. As much as I'm not wild about living in the country, I can't wait to see the next meteor shower for this reason!

The eclipse was beautiful. We were outside looking at it in the telescope in between innings watching the World Series.
Total lunar eclipses are often orange or reddish in color, due to sunlight refracted in the Earth's atmosphere reflected off the moon. It's red or orange for the same reason the sun is red when it first rises and when it sets.
No unusual activity here either (well other than the Sox breaking the curse![[Wink]](wink.gif)
), but then we live in an un-haunted house. I even predicted that they would win, psychic intuition perhaps? I'll post another thread on that. =)

My Great-Grandma used to say it when that happened, also, sometimes if you look closely happens every so often if you look at the moon there is a red ring around the moon, my g-grandma used to call this blood on the moon as well - can't remember exactly if it was all in the same, but she always stayed in the house and was nervous a bit about it. I freaked when I seen the movie "Practical Magic" -( Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock played in this movie 1998) They also called the red ring around the moon, blood on the moon. Scared me have to death that the person who wrote the film actually knew what I knew. There are things in this world that have been getting odder and odder. Like the weather and I have been on edge as now I am starting to see those black shadows outta the corner of my eyes. I have even seen someone walk in front of a door/window and when I go to look, no one is around. Like the dead are even uneasy. I dunno if anyone else has noticed or not. I don't mind just I wish they would stop sneaking up on me like that. lol!
I agree the weather is getting stranger and a bit concerning actually. The effects of global warming can have some less than pleasant results as we have all been witnessing, the past couple of years in particular.
I think more people are experiencing paranormal as well. It may be due to that fact that the acceptance or belief by more that ghosts do exist and spirit can indeed reach us from the other side that the natural result is more experiences. The more open you are to it the more likely you are to experience something. I have heard many people lately speaking of increased activity, some like what you have been experiencing and that includes a few ppl that were more on the skeptic side of things. Does make you wonder a bit. =)
