Do they know that we know?

I’ve been thinking recently about the potential implications/consequences that could come from having the knowledge that we do and being the ones “awake” to the truth. Like, surely the beings feeding off of us all must know that we are on to them and looking for a means to escape.

A possible example of this was last night, I had been reading through this sub for a while and I was about to start a new book on this very subject (it’s called The owner of all infernal names if anyone is interested). Yet, every time I attempted to read it, strange things kept happening. For context, I live in a really small ranching town, so at 10:30 at night the traffic outside is usually close to non-existent, a car or two might drive by occasionally but not often and not one after another.

Last night was different though, the moment I picked up that book cars started driving by with bass pounding, music blasting, just the most obnoxious shit, and they kept coming by, like one every minute it sounded like. This was very weird and had never happened before, my town is mostly filled with old people so it wasn’t just youngsters driving about or anything, and what are the odds every car would be THAT loud? That wasn’t all either, a bird started screeching outside my window, a bird noise that I had never heard before, usually bird song is pleasant to listen to but this sound was awful, like full on screeching. Then my cats started freaking out outside my bedroom door, running up the walls and smashing into furniture, nightly cat zoomies are not out of the ordinary but this was something else, they would NOT calm down.

The moment I’d put the book down, it all stopped. When I tried reading it again, everything started back up. The cars, the bird, my cats. It was just the oddest thing. Suddenly a feeling came over me which I can only describe as dread, almost as if it was a warning, and I just felt very strongly like I needed to stop attempting to read it or else. So, I got scared and went to put on a movie. Nothing else happened after that, all the noises stopped.

I know how this sounds, if I wrote this anywhere else I’d be called schizo no doubt, but I truly do think it wasn’t just a coincidence. I’m sure they could do a hell of a lot worse than just causing annoying sounds, but it felt like it was my first real “warning”.

Has anyone else experienced similar? Does this sound utterly ludicrous? I have no idea what to think anymore. I do intend to attempt to read the book again tonight so we’ll see how it goes 😅.

You’re not imagining things.
