A school to Secure, Contain and Protect has to be made. Too long has man cowered under the Darkness of the supernatural and the unknown. Its time to shine the light of reason and learn how to defend ourselves.Thread Question>What are your plans to study the supernatural during Samhain?Archivefreenet:USK@N4exSBIiho5xplSzgLi6qbPOkcYMfvOYvr9r0x9NeBU,~qDAEjglIskG8Ohx6rIs94OPZwZwrC5ACrsYwbRg7uI,AQACAAE/nullnexus/62/para.htmlHow to Open>https://www.hyphanet.org/Previous thread:>>43020625
>>43113026So what happened to 4chan? Was that part of the big conspiracy?
>>43113497Could be, the Halloween conspiracy!
How was your supernatural research so far, anon?
>>43116134Scary!
So been thinking of dressing up as a ghost buster. It'd be kind of funny, what other character would be nice?
>>43117328How difficult would it be to make a real proton pack?
>>43117328For Halloween? That does sound like fun. I don't know who else you'd be interested in dressing as though.>>43117544You basically have to miniaturize the kinds of particle accelerators you find at CERN, etc.And given that those things are enormous... I'd wager it's pretty difficult.
>>43118399Is there any other method to accelerate a particle?
>>43119578Well you could always try to enchant it
>>43119578Like what? Throwing it?
>>43120154Yes, that's basically the concept behind proton beams!
Are there more works like the scp foundation?
>>43121654The Holders creepypastasCabin in the WoodsMen in Black (the movies and cartoon series)PokémonIt's honestly kind of dumb when you really start to think about it.
>>43113026What is the history behind Samhain?
>>43122771The... the Celtic holiday?
>>43122811Yeah, how did that lead to Halloween?
>>43122771Harvest fuckery
>>43123445As in literal sex?
>>43123460Harvest is finished, fertility rites sre other date. Essentially the otherworld is closer, so spirits and such are closer
>>43123468How do you intend to take advantage of this, anon?
>>43123140Who is scarier of them?
>>43124561I want to say Ghostface. Jason and Michael are just lumbering hulks. And yeah, one's a zombie and the other's some kind of psychopath or whatever, while Ghostface usually just turns out to be some asshole who dies easily, but I really think the notion that the killer could be ANYONE makes it a lot scarier.>>43123140You can mostly blame the Catholics for that one. I feel like I should just direct you to the Wikipedia or any number of documentaries on the history of Halloween.
>>43124836I think the Strangers was a great way to depict serial killers who may be anyone. A shame they ruined it with later versions.
Is there any way to be empowered by the spirit of a serial killer? Any good rituals to get in the proper Halloween mood, anon?
>>43126303You'd need to find a way to get a remnant of the killer and some infernal sacrifice
>>43113026Any anon practices any rituals during Halloween?
>>43126303>Is there any way to be empowered by the spirit of a serial killer?Yes, but why would you want that? That seems like it'd be the worst kind of possession.>>43127345I hadn't thought of it, but then again I have been trying to improve my magic. I've been meaning to do something to get a new job, but Halloween seems the time to converse with the dead. The apartment isn't in a great state for entertaining guests though.
>>43127439>The apartment isn't in a great state for entertaining guests though.Ever done a mass ritual or gathering?
>>43127672Been thinking of holding a mass orgy, wish me luck, anon!
>>43127672Nope, I hate large groups.I wasn't thinking of living guests anyway
>>43128756Oh, you're having undead I see
>>43127672Ring a ring of

>>43128328I wish I could do that, like a Sabbath but all my witch friends are ugly as fuck.
>>43130116How do you find these events?
Update: yo, guise, It seems the black goo beings are soggoth, Idk, and trust me, I hate that filth, if the pnp rpg elder sign works, it does repel me, but there could be something inside the image embedded. >Why it repels youDon't bite a helping hand, nonhuman as it may beMember: we have no intention of destroying Earth, despite fiction writs, so while we may drive you insane with our mere pressence, we'd rather cure you of being exposed to... Me. I'm on Earth, I got posessed, so many are going schizo... I'm not even featured in Lovecraft writings, we just happen yo be real is all.
>>43130036Well, I would if my house wasn't a mess.>>43130414Meetup app?>>43131243Uh... what?
>>43131383Read picrel. A city mentioned by Lovecraft did emerge in a desert. Sounds in the oceans, the fact that Lovecraft did auto write much of his stuff, or fell asleep and woke to written stuff, or had Nightmares about it... In summary, real shit.
>>43132460>based on fiction>published by Become A Living God>In summary, real shit.If you say so. I mean, far be it from me to dispute the use of fiction in magic. That shit is common as hell, both in historic and modern practice. I've got my own collection of RPG guides and notes I've taken from fiction, because I'm a fucking nerd and who knows what might spark some inspiration?But I don't know. Something just feels off about claiming these things to be legitimate, as if a skeptic would be unknowingly channeling occult knowledge. Lovecraft himself would be baffled.
>>43133013That's so neat!
>>43133013I'm just saying, there's room for coincidence, since you're a skeptic *wink*, and faggots have seen me "larping" with lovecraftian stuff a tad bit too much, and those elder signs are still hitting. Still, what friction you use, because there's fiction and "fiction" and then 'holy shit faggot there's a bloody soggoth and I'm out of ammo fuck you nigger.'
>>43133101Eh? Which part is neat?>>43133121I'm just saying, you'd expect more on shoggoths in history if they were--Son of a bitch, the Nameless Thing of Berkeley Square. Assuming it wasn't a damn octopus...
Who do you think is the greatest magical researcher of all time? I nominate Jaime Mausan
>>43134108kek was it ever revealed what those are?
>>43134636Wasn't it a cake?
>>43133290Has any anon ever entered a haunted place?
>>43136891I have. Didn't personally experience anything, but my sister felt someone touch her ankle (we were sitting on some benches) and my mom struggled with her camera before she finally caught an interesting photo or two. I'm still frustrated that we no longer have the largest available version from that camera.
>>43137105Shit, I forgot to state - this was the Farnsworth House, in Gettysburg, PA.
>>43137105Do you think it was a ghost?
>>43137397I've struggled so hard to come up with a rational explanation, but all I keep coming back to is a supernatural one.We went back there on a later date, but didn't come back with any similar photographs.
>>43137426That's so cool. I wish I had some haunted places nearby
>>43137105This is so freaking cool. Ever tried to capture a ghost?
>>43138617You probably do.>>43139480No, but I'm currently studying the subject of "laying ghosts." And if I can in any way open up the Sight and actually see them myself, that would be nice too.
I'm testing my magical detector during Halloween, lets see if it catches anything
>>43140195Best of luck, let us know if you get any results.
>>43141071Will do anon! Today triggered it but didn't get much of a result here
Today I gave you a smol respite, you should feel more alive, guess what, you keep searching for Jesus and I forget about you
Damn, Halloween is getting close. I need to get reading on how to fight the spooky shit.Not that I expect any spooky shit on Halloween. I just think it's a nice time for the subject.>>43142523What the hell are you talking about?
>>43142598Nothing, as it dehappened because you complained, I decided to undo. Enjoy
>>43142960You're still not making any sense.
>>43142965Just like you. SeekSeekSeekYou wont find. There's only me.
>>43142598Agreed. I don't have a costume yet but definitely want to test some magical detectors first now that magical sources should be stronger.
Anyone attempting any summoning this Halloween?
>>43144138I intend to practice some infernalism. Will post how it goes
>>43144138My place is in no state to be entertaining guests.Would be cool though.
>>43144822What do you need to sacrifice in order to properly summon something?
>>43145719Incenses are good. Food, alcohol, smokes are good. It all depends on the spirit.You don't need to sacrifice a life.
>>43145773What if I want to sacrifice a life?
It just stood there, breathing a cold draft across the room that made the hairs on our forearms stand up. And as it tilted its head—an awkward, jerky motion, like someone trying to remember how joints worked—we heard the sound of a voice that wasn't speaking out loud, just pressing directly against the inside of our temples.“They said you needed reminding”
>>43146468Then I recommend you seek psychiatric help.>>43146499Working on a short story, there?
>>43145773What's up with Faust? He gets a bargain and just orders grapes?
How did supernatural hunting go for you this week, anon?
>>43148273Not. Very. Fucking. Good.Halloween is the absolute worst dogshit time of the year to hunt.>hurr durr lets all dress up as monsters so the good guys can't tell the real from the fake>AND wander around at night so the good guys also have a hard time being secretive!11!!1>In fact, let's just take out all of our children at night too, so the possibility for collateral damage is even higher!I've taken the personal policy to simply NEVER hunt in the week leading up to Halloween and especially not on Halloween itself, nor its eve.Of course I made an exception this year since that haunted house was pretty fucking obviously TOO GOOD to be fake, but aside from that, yeah, not very good at all. It's never good.
>>43148575That's a good point, not to mention the headache that some entities already are. Like vampires and puella magi who look no different from kids at time, good luck telling the officer why you got a cute little corpse in your van.
>>43147680Must've been some good grapes.>>43148575You have it inverted, Anon. People dress as monsters so the monsters can't tell the real from the fake. Surely we should have better discernment and ability to tell the difference than the boogedy-beasts do.
>>43148964Grapes of wrath I guess
>>43148964You make a fair point, Anon, and some monsters are certainty stupid enough to actually be fooled by well-made costumes.But what I meant in my post was not that I am literally unable tell reality from fiction on Halloween/the weeks leading to it, that would be retarded (but it did sound like that lmao), it's more that the baseline level of certainty I need to operate is eroded.When seeing somebody with pale skin on any other day, you can be pretty sure that something is up with them as combined with other evidence, but your guard can nonetheless remain up. Yet seeing somebody with 'pale' skin on a holiday all about making yourself look like a monster... well now you can't count that as evidence, and you can't be on guard around every 'pale' person on the street can you? You'd hesitate, even if you'd saw fangs, or at least I would, or grow complacent in the sea of monstrousness. I'm sort of leeching on what >>43148951 said here.I suppose a better and original example would be walking home on a darkened street and being jumpscared by one of those weird tiktok 'Let me scare random people' fuckers. The people who get the stilts and the arm extensions and walk with a scary mask, hiding in the dark recesses about a streetlight or two.On any other day, you would have vanishingly small chance of a civilian dressed up with antlers and glowing eyes emerging from the dark in a full sprint toward you. But on Halloween, that chance is not so small anymore, and it just takes one second. Either to hesitate and not slay something you ought to, or to not hesitate and murder an innocent person who was just trying to have a fun night out.As I said, I never hunt on the weeks leading up to Halloween, and certainly not on Halloween night.>>43147680Yummy.
>>43150055I'd imagine the energies could be scrambled too, if the "veil" really is thinner. But I wouldn't know enough about that.
Happy Halloween /x/! May you escape the monsters and gather much better research in the future
>>43151988Thank you anon, will do some summoning rituals right now
>>43113026Do you prefer samhain or halloween?
>>43154674Not OP, but... I like Halloween just fine. Keeps me in touch with my inner child.Also if I bring it up I don't have the normies asking what it is.
>>43155411Same, I really like it too. But more as an excuse to hunt monsters since they tend to go out more.
