A WOMAN NAMED Melanie in Ventura, California had a strange experience while sitting on her own living room sofa. While just staring at the wall, she became, she believes, invisible. Her husband walked around the house looking for her. He even walked right by her - just a few feet away - and did not see her. The episode lasted about 10 minutes, then suddenly she was visible again.

This unusual story is one of several documented by Donna Higbee who is conducting extensive, ongoing research into a phenomenon she calls Human Spontaneous Involuntary Invisibility. According to the anecdotes Higbee tells at her website, The Research and Writings of Donna Higbee, people suddenly and unexpectedly become invisible. They don't seem to feel any differently when this occurs, and they can see and move around normally, just as if nothing has changed. Yet other people don't see them. They are ignored - totally - as if they aren't there.

(*NOTE - The article by Donna Higbee (linked in the story) is quite interesting. However, I have lived in Ventura more than 35 years and have never heard of "Vera" or "Melanie" or anyone else in town becoming invisible. )

Schadeaux.
Do you know where this woman was from because My uncle was in the merchant navy for 30 years and described on one occassion very similar circumstances though he was in a tropical evnvironment. he described waking up in the morning (he was ships engineer) and heading to the bridge only to find no-one was there. For 2 hours he searched found no-one until people just started appearing. He later found out that 6 other people had a similar experience.

He found out that it was certain type of insect that feeds of some part of your eye that can cause this type of hallucination. When it is no-longer hungry it dettaches and leaves.

I always thought it was a crock of sh*t that was a cool story to tell me when i was very young but now ive done some research and found a couple of cases so im not to sure.

Just thought id add that wee story .

Actually, the stories seem quite opposite. The topic story describes an individual becoming invisible. Your story, it seems, everyone else became invisible. Invisibility may be the only thing they have in common.

As for an insect causing your uncle's experience, I find it hard to believe. Even if the "victim" were halucinating that everyone else was gone, surely those not effected would be able to see him as he wandered the ship. However, I have been in and around the Navy all my life, and have always been interested in "tales of the sea" as told by old salts. There are always those stories that can't be believed, are quite rediculous, really, but... I would be more inclined to believe your uncle did experience something without the detail of an insect.

As for Donna Higbee, her bio is HERE. She is in Santa Barbara, California, USA, about 80 miles north of Los Angeles. Ventura is kind of in between the two.

Are u suggesting my uncle was intoxicated lol? its possible he's an alcoholic liar but seriously he sounded pretty geniune oh an about the othe members of crew he said there was a very small crew think it was about 12 on a quite large boat.

Told you I didn't really believe it neway lol.

By the way is that area tropical or very wet and warm? I wish i could remember the name of the insect, he did tell me.

Sounds like a far better climate than we've got .

Yeah agree with you about the sea thing. Mind you Ive only been on a boat collectivley about 6 times so how do i know lol.

Spontaneous Human Involuntary Invisibility


We live in a world where reality shifting and temporal anomalies are becoming the norm, a simple case of a person disappearing should not be difficult to explain - yet it is.

What remains obvious is that the person who can no longer be physically seen has shifted into a higher frequency than 3D - therefore cannot be seen with our physical eyes.

This appears to be a mystical phenomena that has been recorded for centuries, going back to ancient India, and perhpas further.

There are those of us who do move in and out of dimension psychically, but this seems to be a physical phenomena that is not controlled by the person who disappears. This is a rare phenomena in which a person is physically still present, although unable to be seen or heard. From the point of view of the invisible person, the world looks normal. They have no idea that they cannot be seen or heard by people around them.

Human invisibility has been written about for centuries.

Indo-European and pre-Aryan shamanistic beliefs accompanied the peoples who eventually migrated into the Indus Valley (approx. 2,500-1,500 BCE). Here, men and women of great spiritual attainment, superior knowledge, and extraordinary powers came to be called rishis.

The Vedas, which form the basis of Hinduism, emanated from the teachings of the rishis, starting around 1,000 BCE In these texts, we find descriptions of the rituals and techniques of the Hindu priests, sounding very much like the magical and shamanistic abilities of the old sorcerers, magicians and shamans.

Later in Hinduism, around 700-300 BCE, we find the secret doctrines, called the Upanishads, which were written for students. Within the Upanishads, there is a section called the Yogatattva which gives the rich mystical philosophy of the discipline and theory of practice for attaining knowledge of the essence of God.

A serious student of raja yoga was taught that certain supernormal powers, called siddhas were a natural outcome of gaining mastery over one's mind and environment, and were used as valuable indications of the student's spiritual progress.

One of these yogic siddhas was human invisibility.

Thanks for that, Blue Scorpion. That article seems to be an earlier version or rough draft of the one linked in the first story. The first one gives much more detail and offers specific cases. The second one borrows much, mostly verbatim, from the first article.

i've walked by people or things, and not notice them many times... i see nothing unusal about this

Sometimes when I am driving around people will just pull out in front
of me like I'm not even there.......I sometimes think I am invisible....maybe not....maybe people just aren't very observant anymore because they are Edit

Didn't mean to offend any Edit........ really



If you don't mean to offend anybody, don't put it in your post. That was crass and insensitive.

Attempting Invisibility at Will

Invisibility - How much does your brain really perceive around you? When you are in a room full of people - how many do you remember - the rest being more or less invisible.

Everywhere we go - there are spirits in other realities moving in, around, and often through us. They are invisible to us as they are in another frequency - one that we are not tuned into. It is like a TV - you watch one channel - but to see another program - your switch to another channel. Some TV set are built so you can see more than one image at a time - just as some people are able to see spirits and other realms whereas the average model / average person - is only set to one frequency at a time. I am so happy we are steeping up our frequencies - faster - higher - to see more of reality.
=======================

Being invisible can be lots of fun. You are literally rotating your energy fields 90 degrees and poof you are gone! You are removing yourself from the electromagnetic grid.

Today you are going to try to become invisible.

Begin by sitting very still, even as you sit at your computer now.

Focus your energies on the electromagnetic energy field - the light field - auric field - that surrounds you.

It usually extends out about 3 feet around your body.

Now envision the particles in that light field speeding up so they no longer reflect your light.

Take your time.

Notice the patterns of the particles.

[Out of curiosity....did you see the particles moving in a spiraling pattern around you? If you did - your soul is showing you how you will ascend].

If you are successful - you will disappear - the effect lasting just a few minutes.

If this skill does not work for you - focus your mind on your light, you aura. See it repel the light around you, like an invisible shield.

If you don't want people to see you - they won't.

Practice this skill and 'see' what happens.

It is interesting to watch your own auric field.

I tried this once when I was out driving. I didn't want to be seen my the radar police so I made my car invisible.

It must have worked, as I flew by them - but on the other hand several other cars narrowly missed me - as they just didn't see me! Gulp! Back to 3D!

See ya!

Blue-Scorpion...

Holy crap today I was trying to do tk, and wasn't getting much except for a quiver or two from the pencil I was trying to knock down, and then it just VANISHED. I'm totally serious. It vansished for about 2 seconds and then came back, so then I experimented and I could make it be invisible for a few seconds! Yes, Insight, I know, I know, I was 'hallucinating' wasn't I??? I admit there's no proof about this, and it does seem absurd, and it does seem suspicious that I seem to discover new powers like everyday, but this is true. And I really don't discover powers everyday, anyway, even though it seems like it. Maybe someday I'll show eveyrone proof of it..... Well, I guess I'm adding this to my signature list. And Insight, I'm prepared for your comments!!!!

*laughs* At least you know I'm coming for you.

Did you close your eyes when it became invisable?

Radar funtions on a completely different wavelength thah light does.

The mind can be a powerful thing. I have tapped into many parts of it with the aid of psychedelic drugs in my past, and been able to change how I see color, "read" people's minds, and display feilds of energy. Of course, you will say this is all hallucination. And it is. And a focused mind can actually make one hallucinate.

Well.......actually now I don't think that it's real invisibllity. I just think that it's x ray vision to the max. Like, my x vision was so clear last night when I concentrated that the objects seemed invisible, even though they weren't.

ive done it before and had peope walk almost walk into me bofre i moved out of the way.... and i use it in PE... i proved it to my friend last year when i did it at school and everyone greeted her almost walked into me and kept going.. its harder to use on friend though.. i use to stay in teh subschool in teh cold COLD winter too even when they kick everyone out they dont seem to see us.

I have done this to...

I was TK'ing a little ping pong ball (very light and easy to use).
When it started to roll it suddenly dissapeared and when I was looking to where it went. I lost my focus on it and it became visible again.

I have tried it again but that didn't seem to work, yet!!

i dont that it is very likely that people can become invisible. i passed by my mom without realizing that she was there, but i wasnt looking for her, so i didnt see her, but she wasnt invisible.

You should try Z ray vision. it's much more powerful than X. Infact, it's 2 more than X. I can do it quite well.

hehe, sarcasim?

How does z-ray go...?

How is aura vision related to invisibility? is it, and list some techniques.

To dezmond and arwen:

You did noti become invisable. You have said nothing to prove this either.

"I have tried it again but that didn't seem to work, yet!! "

Kids are suceptable to delusions of grandeur. Of course it doesn't work again, because it never did in the first place. Perhaps you just didn't notice at first.

"i proved it to my friend last year when i did it at school and everyone greeted her almost walked into me and kept going"

When I was in public school, there were a bunch of people who didn;t notice me. Some even bumped right into me! Was I invisable? No. They just didn't care.

".. its harder to use on friend though.. "

Why.

"i use to stay in teh subschool in teh cold COLD winter too even when they kick everyone out they dont seem to see us. "

OH COME ON! YOU CANNOT TURN INVISABLE!

Okay, if someone can turn invisable, then I can preform mustard kinesis. Which is more likely? My made up power, or yours?

I belive some ppl can become invisible, maybe not me, but others!

Do you suppose that dogs can become invisible?? My pekes seem to disappear every now and then in the house. I know every one of their favorite sack spots and sometimes I can search all over a small house and not find them and about tem minutes later I find them in their favorite spot under the table. Kind of hard to miss them there the first time or even going there later. But then this house is also full of strange shadows so I'm kinda leaning toward their spontaneouse disappearance from time to time. Thanks for the new outlook at this problem

Do you believe in Mustard Kinesis?

Nope.

Holy cow, I really hope your not serious. Animals find all sorts of interesting places to hide and explore. My cat has the uncanny ability to not be in a room when I am in it, but suddenly I will look down and see him fast asleep next to me. Did he teleport? Not hardly. I simply didn't notice him come in.

erm if anyones interested my bio teacher told me that everyone has this blind spot, where if u stand a certain distence from an object or something u can no longer see it. the distance varies with ppl. its when ur pupils aligned with where ur optic nerve is, the is no sensors the so if light goes in to theres u dont see anything
does this make sense?
(i think its called optic nerve.)
(cant sp)
(cant be botherd with sp check)
lol

That's true alias25. this blind area is almost exactly in the middle of the field that your eye can see.
it can be easily measured and checked, and for example eye-nerve infection can effect on how large this area is.

Here's a fun experiement: Draw a small black X on an index card. Hold it about 1 and a hlaf feet from you face. Stare directly at the X. Now, slowly move the card to your right, but keep staring at the spot infront of you where the X used to be. Once you moce the card into your perifrial vision and into the right spot, the X will dissappear on the card. It's Kinda creey, but fun!

erm Insight? i stated that i use it ALOT. and i do and the fact that they were peopel we know and always say hi and i doubt very highly would walk into me kind of states a point.

i dont even know the full extent of mustardkinesis but no i dont beleive in it but if you do that fine its your business not mine. if oyu beleive its real then its real to you it doesnt matter wot i think.

Thank you PPAN

and see this blind spot is referring to vision from the side. the peopel were looking directly at me.

(sorry if i sound a little snappish i just had a friend insult me online yet again *rollseyes* after im just ebing calm.. all becoz i called her wait for it.. Imogen)

Obviously mustardkinesis was a joke to make a point and create a filter. But I will believe you if you make a video of yourself preforming this feat of invisability. I will also pay you 1000$ for proof that cannot be discounted. And I'm not kidding either.

I mean, when I was in school, my very best friends didn't say hi to me every single time I walked past them. And it most certainly does matter if if someone believes in it besides you. Because if no one else ever believes it, it stands chance of being nothing more than your imagination. And believing to strongly in your imagination leads to further delusion and psychosis.

yer may be but if i can do it on will.. to me it doesnt seem like self delusion.. i really need ot meditate... this pent up rage from today is killing my brain

and err WHY didnt they say hi to you when the walked past you? mine always do...

interesting Insight but i cant exactly have rock hard proof since eveyrthing these days can be done and would be put such against any video. like editing.. explain to me how i make it impossible to discredit?
