Legit occult weirdness, or I'm losing insight

My new house is great, but its been very difficult adjusting.

We’ve only been here a week and I’m concerned.

There was a dead crow in front of our house when I first got here. Like right out in front, dead center, almost on the porch.

Then I’m telling the freaking only person I know in town about it and she tells me this story about a double ■■■■■■■ homicide that happened right down the street. I mean right down the street, I can see it, now, from where I’m typing this very minute.

Its not some sort of urban legend, it happened three years ago and it was pretty high profile for the area, so there is a internet search goldmine of information. Plus one of the people that died actually worked with my friend’s husband. She knew them.

Additionally, there are all these strange symbols on this street. Like carved in trees and in old cement.

And someone has taken crow feathers and stuck them in the ground, in a circle, in three different spots I found. THREE. One of which is right by my house.

Not kidding, not hallucinating. I have pictures, of all of it.

And that’s the biggest problem, if I show these pictures to my husband and tell him whats going on, I’m going to the ■■■■■■■ hospital, tonight.

He will not tolerate any evidence collecting, as it has been a problem in the past.

I don’t know what to do, I feel like its real this time.

Typing that right now I realize how it sounds, but seriously, something is strange about this place.

I can understand why your husband would be against evidence collecting. But it’s possible you could talk to him and explain you need him to calm you down.

The feathers are strange, but it doesn’t have to mean something supernatural is happening. And murder doesn’t mean ghosts either.

You really need to tell yourself that you can’t risk being triggered right now. Do something to calm yourself down. Take a bubble bath. Be around people with calming stories to tell. Read a favorite book. Watch comedy TV.

Just take it easy. Maybe after a good night’s sleep you can forget about it.

Not occult. Crows die, and they gotta die someplace, your yard is as good as anywhere.

Also, unfortunately there are murders all the time. Sometimes even in your neighborhood.

The feathers in a circle and symbols honestly sounds like kids.

You should try to let it go. Even if it were occult, there isn’t anything you could do about it.

Possible that local kids are gaslighting you. We did that to someone we didn’t like once. They had moved into an apartment in our building where some druggie suicided. So we’d plant stuff related to it (it had made the news) to freak them the hell out. Worked like a charm. Idiots moved and took their aggressive pitbull with them.

If there’s any of element of truth to what the Lutz family claimed with The Amityville Horror, it most likely involved 14 year olds who were too smart for their own good.

Not hard to imagine the neighbourhood kids are messing with the new family.

All these things make sense.

I still feel like maybe there is something inherently evil here that made that dude kill his neighbors and that it is possibly stalking me.

That is crazy talk and I know that too.

I’m not smoking either and that may be a problem.

You can’t have pot withdrawal, right?

Those birds are really common in some areas. so are kids who like to play with stuff they find on the ground, like feathers.

I would not let the murders bother you. That person that did that is long gone or under lock and key. Even if he was not caught, he certainly would not hang around!

There was a guy who shot a cop right outside in the parking lot at my old apartment. I did not get too frieghtened. I then had less reason to be as cops came around often after that.

You dont like change? the move was stressful because of all the unfamilure and new surroundings. Steady yourself? Can you go for a walk with your S.O. tomarrow around the nieghborhood? maybe take one of your dogs? you would be calmer and more familiar with your new neighborhood. maybe a little yard work too? spending time around your new place will make it feel more familiar. more like home. Do you think it would help?

There are some pretty shitty, privileged little jerks around here.

Maybe?

Occam’s Razor, kid.

Wealth and snark do seem to be concomitant in my experience.

I haven’t smoked weed in a few months and I miss it to be honest…somebody brought over a joint the other day and it was nice to smoke again…I just don’t like spending all that money on it anymore. withdrawal from weed won’t make your hallucinate dear.

These are the feathers poked in the ground upright in two different spots:

I’m sorry this murder happened close to where you live now, but as @shutterbug mentioned, you’re probably being gaslighted. People typically want to spark legends like this, by adding “mystery” and so to the aforementioned incident.
Please try to not let it bother you, I know it’s hard, I’ve been there before, but you can easily cross the line between rationality and a delusion. As long as you and your husband are safe, then there’s nothing to worry about.

As a kid, I used to play with feathers in the exact same way. I wasn’t being sinister or trying to gaslight anyone. I was just bored and suck some feathers in the ground. Everything your describing is easily explainable.

Also, when my brother gave up weed, his senses were distorted for a couple days. He used to be amazing at how “real” everything looked.

It was little boys, i have brothers. Their the only ones nasty enought to touch something like that.

Think about it- Your house was empty for a while before you moved in… That alone is enough to attract boys. They likely were looking through the windows of the empty house and found it dead in the bushes.The bird being front and center, they poked it with a stick then sat on your front porch stairs. When they got bord with that they stuck the feathers in the ground before running off.

maybe not in that order exactly but yup.

It looks like a prank. A really mean one at that. If somebody did that to me I’d freak. Sorry you have to go through this, annoying buggers!
