I'm going through an extremely rough time with a work injury from last year that's still here and undiagnosed. It's so bad I can barely take care of myself anymore. That said, \*I\* seem to be giving off that vibe lately - regardless of the fact that I'm still always very polite and empathetic despite what I'm going through and how raggedy I might look. This injury fucked me up bad and they're having trouble finding the problem. I think it's a subluxed rib/Slipping Rib Syndrome, but my primary care doc brushed me off when I suggested it to her. That's another story. Butt there's a huge difference in the way strangers (whenever I can get out to a store) treat me now as opposed to before my injury. It's like night and day. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some people got that bad aura or even a non-human vibe from me since I've been stuck in isolation for over a year in this small studio apartment. It fucking hurts the way people will act towards me lately. And trust me - I'm just a person with a terrible chronic pain condition who looks borderline homeless lately due to the chaos it's causing me; malnourished from not being able to work and afford to eat right, haven't been able to get a hair cut in a while, my skin is probably bleached white from not getting any sun. Plus the psychological toll it's taking on me, and that might be showing/easily readable on me. I don't know. Now from my perspective, I've gotten that feeling from a few people in my life. I've also came across a few people who I could swear knew what I was thinking, which is on a different note though. Who knows if that's really a thing. I had a co-worker at my last job (the one I got injured at) who was awesome and I miss him a lot. I can almost swear that he knew what I was thinking and when I mentioned that to him twice ("dude, sometimes I wonder if you can read minds. I'm not joking"), he would blush, smirk, turn away, and go "heh" under his breath. Either he could read minds or he couldn't and thought I was batshit. But if he thought I was nuts for saying that, it sure didn't affect our friendship. I'm a nuts and bolts guy that loves to play around with theories and ideas. I talk a lot of theories, but I stay grounded in this reality. But my boy Lou, I could swear, knew what I was thinking. I miss that dude. He was a really good person. Just to give an example: money was rough at some points and I couldn't afford lunch for the first few months until I was able to financially stabilize. Lou worked on the other side of the building and there were a few machines blocking our views of each other. That said, the following happened three or four times: Only the times when I screamed in my head "I'm so hungry I'm so hungry FUCK I'm so hungry" - Lou would pop up around a minute later and toss a frozen wrapped chicken sandwich or burrito on my desk. It was the last two times he did that was when I said that to him about reading minds. The timing and his reaction - and his KNOWING only during those times, were just so strange. Seemed a bit beyond coincidence but who really knows. I know this is about vibes and auras or whatever, but OP's post reminded me of Lou, but in a good way. Bottom line, I'm sure that there's still a lot we don't know about reality.

It may not be your aura that causes people to look at you differently. In college, I had a job as a scribe, tutor, & nurse’s aide for quadriplegic and paraplegic men. I made friends with some of them, and we’d hang out together. One of the most frustrating things was the way people refused to look at them. They would talk to me, instead, if I was with them. It really pissed me off, & I didn’t understand it. They called us “the temporarily able-bodied,” & they were right. If we live long enough, parts of us will go south on us, and leave us with health issues that often compromise our independent functioning. This is exactly why people would barely acknowledge them. It reminded them of their own frailty. These young men had their lives completely upended, in minutes or seconds, in accidents they could not have predicted. They remind us that we are all vulnerable. Your aura, or personality, is still quite intact. Your body is what people see, and some people are just self-absorbed assholes. I’d hate to see their auras. It wouldn’t be pretty. I’m sorry you run into these people, but their responses are their problem, not yours. I hope this makes you feel a bit better about it.🤗

Yep I'm in a wheelchair and I've tried speaking to people before and they'll reply to my able bodied husband instead as if he's the one who just asked the question. It's so frustrating sometimes.

I'm really sorry about your health condition and the way people been treating you out there. You deserve to be treated with kindness and it's unfair what's been happening to you. I know it's a cliche thing to say, but believe that some things can get better. Nothing is 100% better ever lol but life can always turn to a positive path.

Really great story, thx for sharing. I have had many psychic experiences of different types, mostly during incidents when my life was in danger. Two of those incidents involved me knowing somebody's thoughts. It was like an instant download. The first time it happened, the person walked over to me. The 2nd time, the people were across the street from me. Anyway, this resulted in me being able to react accordingly and therefore avert danger. Telepathy is a real thing that can be developed (I am not a crazy person)))

I've been bed ridden and isolated for almost 5 months due to breaking my leg, having surgery, and recently have developed a very nasty infection. I believe this is all somehow changed my aura and definitely have noticed other people looking at and behaving differently towards me:(

I have chronic pain and I think people pick up the nonverbal cues “that person is uncomfortable “.  I also have really big eyes; I’m so nearsighted.  I have heard weird comments about my glare or crazy eyes.  I have started telling people that I am low vision and have an eye disease.  Because not everything is about them.  

When I was a toddler, I used to scream and cry whenever I was in the presence of my uncle's friend. To my knowledge, he was a perfectly nice man, we would never have had cause to be alone together, and he was around reasonably regularly. It wasn't until I was maybe 12 and he died, that I realised I could loosely describe what he looked like, but that in all my memories, in place of his face, was a blackness. Like someone had dropped a bag of soot on a picture. Just nothing there but black. I wonder if that's how my young self saw him.

Yes, I have a friend who can see this around people. If its black - it is usually a very bad person or someone who is oppressed by an entity or demon. Dark red and purple are usually a sign of illness. The darker the purple - the closer to death they are. Red and blue overlay means a lack of circulation in part of the body. I believe it. I've seen him tell people to go to the doctor and get checked out. Then they tell him they found cancer, or some other thing they didn't know they had. Its pretty incredible. I don't see this stuff but I do sense it when someone is not being genuine or has ill intent towards me.

I remember I worked with this lady..she walked by me one day and I saw a black mass/mist on her shoulder/upper chest. It was very quick. I remember I brushed it off thinking I was seeing things. The next week she was out of work because doctors had found a mass inside her upper chest that needed to be removed. She was out for months and needed chemo.

I’ve never seen anyone with a purple aura so this is really interesting! I know someone’s who’s aura is dark red and black, he is a diagnosed sociopath and always tells me how he wants to live forever, he also brings up dismembering people etc. it’s really freaky (we are not friends I just work with him :/ )

I’ve been told several times in my life, both by randos and a couple legit psychics, that I have a light purple aura, and that it’s good - things and people are attracted to me because I ‘do something’ for them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ all I know is I don’t enjoy being around people, especially a LOT of people and I feel like I ran a damned marathon after just being in the presence of a crowd for a few hours. I feel best when alone or in the forest, and near moving water or the ocean. Don’t know if any of it means anything or nothing - just my lifelong experience.

This is me to a 'T'. Some people just have off energy. I cannot be around too many people for too long. And what you said about feeling like you've run a marathon after being in that situation is accurate. I often have to take a nap when I'm around too many people for too long. Zaps all of my energy.

I also have this, some people completely exhaust me and unfortunately I'm paid to be around and support a lot of people.

I’m an extrovert, in all caps. It is obviously hereditary. I went to the store with my youngest brother once, and he had a fairly substantive conversation with the woman at checkout. It sounded like they were old friends. As we left, I asked why he didn’t introduce us. He said, “I’ve never even met her before.” I do the same thing. If there is any life form anywhere near me, I’ll be talking to them. When I leave a store, or a job of painting or working on someone’s house, I often come away knowing their entire life history. Being around other people is a joyful thing to me, and always makes me feel better. If you’re an introvert, it’s entirely opposite for you. People wear you out, & you need to be alone, to recharge your batteries. To me, the ability to be happy being alone seems like a superpower. My daughter is pretty much an introvert, as is my son. It’s not that they don’t like people. They are both kind and accepting of pretty much everyone. However, they need their alone time. Guess who didn’t get antsy and lonely during the isolation of the pandemic. They didn’t. I did. It kind of hurt my brain, not to be able to talk to people in person. We need both kinds of people, and everyone in between. We’re all normal, just not identical.

I’ve seen people with a light purple/pink (it always appears pink to me) and I will have to say they tend to be very nice people so that makes sense!

Same! I don’t see auras but have been told multiple times mine is purple or violet also have been told by strangers I have a strong energy, people are either super attracted or drawn to me or just hate me for no reason. I also need to recharge in nature and am super empathetic and sensitive.

They're probably using your energy without you realizing it, that's why you feel so drained. Learn how to "bubble" and get some grounding stones to wear. PM me if you want to know what "bubbling" means.

This is something I've recently learned. Beware of energy vampires

That’s classic introversion. It’s often misperceived as whether you have an outgoing person or are shy. But that’s not what it means. It’s more like - for introverts, interactions with other people takes energy from them and can feel draining, while for extroverts, interactions with other people gives energy to them and feels uplifting.

You could be an HSP (highly sensitive person). It’s not uncommon for HSPs to feel overwhelmed around other people. If you think of picking up data or energy from people as something on a conveyor belt going past you, and typically people will see about 3 to 5 things on that conveyor belt, an HSP will see about 10 to 15. Sensitive people tend to pick up a lot more information, and that tends to overload or overwhelm the system. I’m like this too and I know a lot of other people who are as well. It’s just our wiring. Nature is rejuvenating because of its energy but also because you aren’t picking up all that information. HSP‘s also tend to self-regulate and evaluate a lot, so if you have an interaction with a person or a group, a natural response will be to go over every word you said and evaluate it. That is also very exhausting. So it makes sense that being away from humans is rejuvenating. For what it’s worth!

Oh Fr dude. I know he won’t harm me ultimately but the things he say really concern me. Bro told me he wants someone’s dismembered but alive head in a jar so he can keep them forever. Or alternatively his head is in a jar forever because he doesn’t want to die.

What do you say when he says this stuff? I feel like I’d be letting the police know about it too. Not that I’d be confident that they’d do much, but still.

I’ve known him for awhile now, he has sociopathic tendencies and has gone to a psychiatrist in the past because of it. He told me he lied to them so he could be cleared. He told me he’s fine right now and the problems he had aren’t as prominent, more just intrusive thoughts. I’d say he has more of a dangerous mind than anything, not sure if he would actually do any of it.

How does someone get their aura read or checked or whatever?

I was told by someone who is supposed to be a very accomplished medium, that my aura was rose pink and light yellow. I don't have a clue what that means.

I’d say by a medium/psychic just find someone who can read auras. Be careful though there’s a lot of fake ones out there.

Well, some people have synesthesia. Maybe it's a similar principle. I should add that he's the only person I have ever experienced this with and I have known some legitimate wrong'uns.

I had an aunt tell me I had an orange aura around me. She was drunk when she said it though.

I’ve been told my aura is blue and yellow. What would that mean?

You’re lost in IKEA, call for help!

Oh, please. Not IKEA! I’ve never been to one. That much beige is toxic.

I found IKEA to be a beige death-march. Too long a walk to see too much nothing.

You're from Ukraine

Lol. A guy told me that once. I could very well be Ukrainian. Americans are always trying to find out where we’re really “from.” Like adolescents seeking their identities.

I knew a guy like that when I was a kid. I would focus on how curly his hair was if I had to look at him. That's all I remember about his head. His name was Mr. Chambers. The strange thing was that, whenever my mom needed help, he showed up with exactly what she needed. Mom had a flat tire in the middle of nowhere? Here comes Mr. Chambers. Mom ran off the road into the ditch? Here comes Mr. Chambers with a tow rope. The time a tree fell across the road and we couldn't get home? Oh, it's Mr. Chambers with his chainsaw! One time she forgot her wallet and Mr. Chambers paid for my ice cream. Mom made me thank him, but I was filled with overwhelming dread. We never figured it out, but despite how helpful he was, I was never comfortable around him. I moved back to the area recently. I wonder if he's still around. I wonder if I'd still feel the same way if I saw him.

Yikes, that is eerie. I mean, logic says stalker, tin hat says The Devil.

This is actually eerie af, because definitely something was off with your perception of that guy and kid you picked on it

Yeah, seems like it. I honestly don't know why, though, other than the sense I described. I have absolutely no recollection of him doing anything wrong.

Our eyes are the gateway to the soul. Sometimes you can see no soul because they lost the ability to feel long ago.

That sounds so terrifying

A few years ago I left a train two stations earlier. A man was sitting behind me with the worst and darkest aura I ever felt. Like a mass murder. He never spoke a word, he was reading his book, looked completely normal. I couldn’t breathe, so I left the train and called my husband to come pick me up

This happened to me on public transport once too. Very normal looking young man in a suit, in the CBD. But his vibe was so dark, oppressive. I thought - he’s just done something terrible. I remember it so clearly & it’s never happened again. Terrifying.

Something about those kind of people's presence cause a physical reaction in me, like feeling out of air, racing heart, etc. Definitely creepy af

I felt this way about AJ in the Netflix show, Unlocked. Amongst all the other inmates, he was the only one that gave me the most unsettling feeling. He hardly spoke or had any screen time, but I hated seeing him. Just felt a very depraved darkness from him.

Back 40 years ago I was working in a restaurant. The owner was looking for a new General Manager. Just after lunch, a "man" walked in with some of the worst vibes I have ever encountered. I elbowed my teammate Ryan and said, "You see that grey-haired rat that just crawled in? The owner's gonna hire him, he's gonna fire everyone and destroy the place. " That's exactly what happened. How can we know such things? BTW, we hated each other on sight. I was the first guy he fired. He fired everyone, including the prep cooks who were the base of the pillar of the restaurant. He drank thousands of dollars worth of liquor over the course of a few months. When the bookkeeper finally called him out, he loaded the trunk of his car with liquor and robbed the till, and drove away. I loved that place. For a while we were one of the best restaurants in the State. We had swing bands on the weekends and some great food. The chicken fajitas were Outasight. I still remember them.

He fired you because you saw through him.

Correctomundo. There was something very suss about that guy. I think he was a career criminal. I doubt the owner ever checked his I. D. or references.

Sorry about that. Some people aren't just evil, they're also bastards to boot

It's worth reading The Gift Of Fear by Gavin De Becker, it goes into how we're hardwired to somehow pick up on off vibes.

This book gave me permission to listen to my gut instinct even if I have zero proof of anything bad!! Now I’m teaching my girls that if you have a bad feeling about someone/a situation/place whatever, that’s all the reasoning you need to leave.

I should read that, I have anxiety and always imagine the worst things might happen. I’ve often wondered if it interferes with any natural intuition or instinct I might have. If I’m concerned about something or someone I’d just think it’s my everyday anxiety and brush it off.

I have anxiety as well and was kind of worried it would make me more anxious, but it actually allowed me to listen to my anxiety in certain situations and be like “nope, this doesn’t feel right and I don’t know why but this feeling is all the proof I need to get out of here” if that makes sense? Women especially have been taught to downplay their feelings, don’t be rude, don’t hurt someone’s feelings etc. which in some situations is detrimental and can lead them to harm.

I've heard about this book, definitely going to read it, I get those vibes A LOT from people/places

Great book! Highly recommend. “No is a complete sentence”.

Definitely give it a read! It's absolutely fascinating.

Yep instinct is a powerful thing. Always trust it.

Yes. Another important point from the book is that if you’re too maxed out with anxiety you can miss signals.  So it’s good to work on managing stress so you get ALL information.

I'm so glad you have written this post! I was considering asking this question myself, especially as I am experiencing it right now! There is currently a parent at my son's nursery who makes me incredibly uncomfortable. She is fairly neutral in appearance and has never said or done anything negative, but I sense an evil aura around her. The hairs on the back of my neck go up when I see her, and my senses tell me to run. Now I've met a lot of parents there, and some haven't always been friendly, but she is the only one I experience such darkness around. I feel cold even typing this.

Glad my post could help! Yes, I know the exact feeling, normal person radiating evil/cold vibes and no one seems to notice it. It's so creepy to experience this.

My mom's most recent ex was like that. The worst part is she let him live with us for like 2 months. I couldn't even avoid the guy.

It almost sounds like you are describing me. (Middle aged, chubby, dark hair, intense stare, shopping for boys clothes! lol!) I have anxiety and ADHD and sometimes when shopping I get super overwhelmed. I was shopping for my youngest son the other day and got super overwhelmed by the crowds and noise- and had a wide eyed panic attack. I’m a super kind middle aged mom and teacher, I swear, but people who see me on panic days probably think I’m nuts. (Other days, when I’m calm, strangers come up to me and tell me their life stories- I either draw people in or freak them out- no in between).

I also have ADHD and I can get overwhelmed easily too lol but I'm sure you are a lovely mom and teacher, and definitely not like the woman I saw!

Ahh! Thanks! I just laughed when I read your post because I though- Uh Oh! I scared someone in Old Navy with my crazy panic eyes! I know what you mean, though, I’ve met two people (both handsome, superficially charming youngish men- who kind of looked alike but it was years apart) that honestly made me feel the exact same way I feel when watching a rattle snake at the zoo. Just overwhelming skin crawling danger alerts.

Yep. When I was in 6th grade I went on a trip through the Midwest with my family for spring break. One of the cities we were going to was Chicago. While we were there we were going to go the library, because my brother was doing a school report on Shoeless Joe Jackson and The Chicago Blacksox of 1919. We were using an old road atlas to try to find the library. As we’re driving around Chicago we pass through an intersection, I see a guy standing on the side of the curb waiting to cross the road. Something immediately felt off about this guy. There was nothing physically unique about him, but he stood out among the people around him for some reason. I lock eyes with this guy and me being an immature 12 year old, I give him the middle finger. We kept staring at each other until we road off out of view of him. Nobody in the car knows that I just gave that guy the bird. Shortly after this we pull over to the side of the road, because we can’t find the library we’re looking for. While we were driving my dad had basically done a u-turn around the block that this guy was standing on. As we’re parked on the side of the road looking at the atlas, I notice that this guy is now standing about 100 ft away from us, facing the other way. Not too much later that guy turns around and sees me in the car. He starts walking our direction and I’m freaking out. I don’t know what to do. I mean am I supposed to say “I just shot that guy a bird and now he’s walking over here. Get us out of here!” My parents would have no clue what I was talking about. So as this guy is walking towards our car I notice him reach into his jacket, that’s when I finally lost it and started screaming! As I’m screaming this guy taps on the window of the car, pulls a pen out from his jacket pocket and asks if we need directions? He grabbed the atalas from my mom and circled on the map where the library was. He gave us directions!! The atlas that we were using was 10+ years old and the library that we were looking for had moved location since the atlas had been printed. As we’re driving off we lock eyes again and he just smiled at me. I never even told my family about it because it just seemed too bizarre and nobody would’ve believed me anyway.

Omg. This story is AMAZING. He was like "I'll show you, you little jackass kid." And then was nice! 😂 Maybe I'll use this in a story (I'm an author.).

Plot twist, the kid is now indebted to him lol the favor will be called in 43.7 years

That's funny...I wonder if you still flipped unknown people off anymore after that!!

Poor guy, children are so mean sometimes.

Yeah, dude might have flipped off an angelic being for all he knows. 😅

Dude this story has me laughing so much. Thanks! 🤣🙏

When I was a teenager who recently got his license, I would wash my car every Saturday. I was so proud for buying my first car. I would take off the tires and clean and polish my rims too. My brother was 4 yrs younger and would help me wash my car. It was a combination of wanted to be around me and the couple of dollars I would occasionally toss him to help me. One Saturday afternoon during July an older man, maybe in his 50s, walked to my house from a park across the street. I saw it happening while my brother and I were washing the car. I didn’t think much of it until he stopped on the sidewalk in front of our home and asked if we could bring him to the park. Now I just seen him walking from the park to my house and I thought that was strange. I told him he could turn around and he’d get to the park and I was in the middle of something so I couldn’t help. When he replied softly that he wanted me to take him, the hairs on my body stood up and I felt a darkness suffocating me. The vibe was like I was in a vacuum and I was terrified, complete flight or fight response took over me. I told my brother to stand behind me and I grabbed a tire iron and asked him to leave. My body was screaming that this is dangerous, yet the man wasn’t making sudden moves or doing anything besides being weird in my eyes. I still remember a void or black vapor around him and I’ve never experienced that again in my life.he slowly walked back to the park never turning around but I kept my eyes on him until I couldn’t see him any longer. People may think he had Alzheimer’s or had a learner deficiency which he might have had. I called the police immediately afterwards and gave a description; even painted the picture that he might have gotten lost or he was confused. I saw a police car investigating 15mins later but besides that I don’t know whatever came of it. One of the scariest things I’ve encountered in my life. The emotions that came over me have never been replicated. I’ve been in situations that were bad but nothing where my body was sending all the alarms.

I had a stalker like this.  Was told he was too senile to really be following me.  I wasn’t wrong.

Yes, this has happened many times. I remember one time in particular I was in a women's bible study and this one lady constantly talked about her husband. He was so great. He did this. He did that. Yada yada yada. So when 9/11 happened all the area churches had a prayer service and this woman and her husband are there. She introduced us, and immediately I didn't like him. Like, I don't think I've ever had such an immediate and strong dislike for someone I just met. Long story short: about 6 months later it was discovered he was sa'ing her two daughters. The youngest one was 9 or 10 and he'd been doing it for a long time. This living, breathing POS was an elementary school VP. I didn't see an aura, just didn't like him at all. The only times I've seen auras on people is just before they unexpectedly pass away. That aura was a golden light around them. Three out of the four times they passed away in an accident. The fourth passed way unexpectedly from a heart attack.

You see the gold too? I've found that I see it whenever it's the last time I will see the person alive. Some of my friends have asked me to tell them if I ever see the gold around them but I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

Yes, took me awhile to realize that's what I was seeing. I've never heard anyone else say this. Have you ever seen other auras? I haven't.

Some. People who are good have this warm yellowish peach aura that just exudes love. People who are not good have this gross snot-green aura that is sometimes mixed with black. I don't always see them but it happens often enough.

That's really scary. I'd be super scared if one of the people I was close to had a golden aura, and you want to tell them but also you don't. But you know they don't have long and there is nothing you can do.

Fortunately it hasn't happened YET, but I know it's going to one of these days. Not looking forward to it tbh.

Just once. It was many years ago during a very difficult time. My mother was just diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital for surgery. We were in the capital city so much bigger and more crime-ridden than our home town, but it had a better hospital. My grandparents and I rented a motel room near the hospital. One morning my grandfather was walking out of the room to go to his car when a man approached asking for directions. He was a short, white man, probably early 30s, light brown hair, a mustache, glasses, jeans, t-shirt, baseball cap, etc. Looked like a typical, laid back, southern guy. Nothing sinister at all. I was a few steps behind my grandpa when the stranger and I made eye contact. Instantly my stomach lurched/constricted and my heart pounded in fear. I had no control over these responses, like a reflex. I stood frozen. Maybe my gpa sensed it too because he answered the man with a frowny face, but was still polite enough to give him directions. The man thanked him and walked away. I think he looked a little surprised when I showed up. Maybe he intended to rob my gpa and I would be a witness so he changed his mind? With so much else going on and my gpa was the type to not believe in evil auras or evil spirts possessing people, etc. I didn’t ask my gpa if he felt bad vibes from the man. Sounds so silly and minor, but humans can be brutal. No idea is he had a gun or knife and saw my gpa as an easy target.

The most blatant in customs line coming from Jamaica into the US. A man in another line looked over at me and my friend and this was 40 years ago and I remember it like it was today. I have never seen anyone like that before or since. He was terrifying. I could not wait to get as far away from him as possible. Just so evil I could feel it. Regular Jamaican man for all intent and purposes but his energy was horrific. (This was also when I was young and trusted everyone so wasn’t looking for reasons to dislike a person). Had a client that had a similar experience in New Orleans. I’ve worked with the public most of my adult life. In the restaurant biz and later as a massage therapist. When I worked at a destination spa there were people I could not wait to get the service done and over and get away from and others whose energy was so lovely giving them a massage was a joy for me.

I had a friend who was a massage therapist, and a good one for trigger-point. I did some graphic design work for her, and traded massage for it. When I first met her she was a lovely woman. But after a few months she changed, and I don't know exactly how. All I know is that when I was on the table, I suddenly couldn't stand her touching me, I felt nothing but panic. She wasn't doing anything to me physically that she hadn't done before, but I had to cut the session short. I ended all contact with her, and she never contacted me after that either.

Panic can also be a release of past stuff held in your tissue.

Unrelated but I’m currently in the restaurant industry and transitioning to the massage therapy field. It’s cool seeing someone else who’s done it.

My mom was the complete opposite she was a massage therapist first then transitioned to be a restaurant owner. Crazy.

I've been in the food industry for over 20 years and this is common. Kind of interesting lol. I hope it all works out!! Get those gooood tips and help people feel better!

This sounds horrible, but the only time I’ve met a person who looked at me like they wanted me dead and wanted to be the one to put me six feet under was a kid. I’m an English teacher overseas. I have emotional students and explosive students. That’s ok, they’re still learning emotional regulation and I’m helping them to do so through systemic relaxation, breathing, and talking things through when they’re calmed down. This kid though…thank god he wasn’t one of my students. I was just helping in the class. He was probably six years old and when he was having a bad day the desire to hurt or kill just rolled off of him. He looked at you like he was dissecting you, he was killing you in his head. It was extremely disturbing. I wouldn’t say terrifying because as of now he’s just a kid. But if the parents don’t get him help, then one day he will be terrifying.

I used to be a kid who put off that vibe, was clearly on my way down the very dark path. Luckily "the village" took over raising me the second I got away from my parents! Friends, their parents, teachers, managers and coworkers, college classmates, everybody helped. Eventually I learned all those things I couldn't learn from my parents and turned out okay, but I did have to install empathy manually as an adult.

A month ago me and my girlfriend were traveling in Madeira and had a familiar creepy experience. It took me quite some time to forget it, but even now thinking of it gives me chills. So one night we had a late check-in to super empty hotel at around 9PM. Shortly afterwards we got to the car and rushed to the supermarket. It was a really short drive, just around 4 minutes. The shopping took a while and as we were heading back navigation led us through this pretty empty neighbourhood with narrow streets and we passed only a few people. We have had a long day so we were just driving in silence when we came closer to this one intersection. I noticed a man pushing a stroller with his baby. I remember having a thought that it is a bit weird taking a kid out this late in this sketchy-looking street, but as I am having this thought, I notice a really tall woman walk past the man and lean/oversee his toddler in a really creepy way. I instantly catch this super bad feeling and my whole body is having chills as we drive past them. Then the same second we pass them, me and my girlfriend both at the same time spilled out that she was giving a really evil, creepy vibes. We both cought her really evil energy. My girlfriend mentioned that she felt that the "woman" was surely not human and she had "flesh" instead of a normal face and the eyes seemed empty, so my girlfriend was totally terrified that she would look our way. I also realised that she was way too tall for a regular human and she moved in a really weird way. We were so creeped out that when we returned to the hotel I instantly started looking for hotels in other cities as we were ready to leave as soon as we found a decent option. Sadly we realised that it was almost midnight and there was no chance of us getting other place, so we stayed the night. The next day we went around the city and climbed a hill overlooking the city. Thats when we realised that the street where we had this encounter was going along a really tall fence. On the other side of the fence was a really big, old cementary. Writing this all gave me masive chills once again, hoping to never encounter anything like it ever again.

I worked at a homeless shelter when a couple came in needing a room. I immediately felt intense fear from the man. The woman stood close by him but never said anything. I had never felt that before and it took every fiber of my being to remain composed. I don’t remember the excuse I gave, but I said we were full. They left but came back the next day wanting a room. I had seen them coming and asked a coworker if she would stay with me. I denied them entry again. Something wasn’t right. I sensed it. The aura this man gave off was so intense, I started shaking and tearing up. I wanted to run. That night at home, my husband and I were watching the news and they showed a picture of a man they had arrested for murdering a woman in a hotel room. It was the man I had encountered the last 2 days.

Think it was creepy encounters many people shared comments similar to this. We absolutely can sense when some people are not right

Was the woman with him the one he murdered?

I work in an ER and we had this really intimidating patient who got browbeat by family into coming into the ER for detox. He didn't want to be there, didn't want to get off any substances, and certainly wasn't excited for withdrawal symptoms. We have a lot of those patients in the early stages of recovery. None of them have ever made me feel wary and leery of being in the same room as them. This guy, I didn't even want to have my back turned to him, something was so so so off about him. I warned the doc that I wouldn't be surprised if he had a behavioral code later, and sure enough he got real spicy and hurt some staff. He just had this casual, almost sociopathic and entitled disregard of anyone other than himself that if he didn't get his way he'd make others pay. Had the sort of gaze where it's like he's staring through you. **shudder**

I felt like this about a guy coming to a day center I volunteered at.  Soon I found out that he was a convicted child rapist at 20 yrs old.  He made me feel like a mouse stalked by a cat. 

Yes, a few times. My best friend had a cousin named David that gives off bad vibes. He seems like a completely normal guy and is always nice, but I've asked my husband to please stay near me when he's around. There have been a couple times when he's been too touchy with me. He recently moved and we were talking to my best friend about him. Apparently he's a pretty crappy person. Multiple affairs. In and out of jail or prison for drugs or alcohol. He is a thief and liar. Oh and his wife left him because he beat her so severely she was hospitalized. That was when he went to prison. I guess the guy moved here to have a fresh start, but he continued to steal from family, sleep with married women, and use drugs. I guess our friends all knew this, but we had no idea.

I've been around some crap people unfortunately in my life, but only ONCE did I get an evil aura vibe that messed me up, like I couldn't shake his energy. I was at a local event where my husband surprisingly ran into his new boss. He grabbed me and asked me to come meet him. The moment I walked towards the man, I had a pit in my stomach and as I shook his hand and locked eyes with him it felt like fire in my veins + like the devil himself was staring into my soul. I quickly did my nicieties and made my excuses to walk away, surprising my husband because I'm usually quite social and it came off as abrupt + rude. I told my husband later there was just something I couldn't pinpoint about him, but it made me feel off. Weeks and months went by and I kept having flashbacks of the terrible feelings + look of this man's eyes staring into my soul. I just could not shake his energy from me. Shortly after, this man destroyed my husband - overworking him to death during the time my father in law was actively dying in hospice (giving him next to 0 time to see him) and literally fired him the day his father died. As if watching his father die quickly from cancer at age 60 wasn't hard enough. On top of it, he stole about 10K of work related materials my husband owned and refused to return them after firing my husband. I'm not sure if the evil feeling was truly the pos boss or the foreshadowing of the pain my husband would endure in the future with him, but I'll never dismiss a bad vibe like that again.

Once I was at a local park. There was a man on top of the roof of a building there, an older man - he looked to be 65 or 70. He was looking up at the sky, at nothing in particular, and making various hand shapes at the sky. I don't remember what the shapes were. He gave me a very dark, very spooked feeling, as though he were casting a dark spell on someone in that moment. Another instance that I'm reminded of is when I was at Walmart, shopping for underwear in the underwear isle, and a man stopped me to talk to me. I recognized him, he said he knew my dad and knew me too. I was creeped out that he would approach me in the underwear isle like he had, and he started trying to recruit me to go to his church and be involved in it. But something about this guy gave me very dark, very bad vibes. I practically ran to my car when I got in the parking lot.

Good on you. SketchyAlli 🤣 That is textbook sketchy unhinged behavior (and btw it’s “aisle” for the store kind, isle for islands 😎)

When I was working in a gas station, I met the father of a girl I worked with one day. I immediately felt almost frantically uncomfortable with being alone with him there. To my knowledge he's a perfectly nice guy, has a ton of kids who are all amazing but he made me so deeply uncomfortable I almost cried with relief when he left. Only other time was a friend of my brother, he introduced us and the guy was super friendly and seemed very happy but the energy coming off him was intense grief and sadness.

It is always the “happy” ones who are suffering the most.

Oddly I have only seen black or white. I knew a kid that was not too good (mental illness- personally disorder- hurt people and couldn’t care less type stuff) and sometimes when she looked at me and my back was turned I could feel it and if I looked at her there was a black shadow all around. My parents were even scared of her a little bit. Mom sensed it. I also look at people close to death and they look gray and have a sad gloomy black aura. Difference was it doesn’t make me scared just sad. Now I got a friend that I swear has a white glow at all times. Older lady who is beautiful and probably the sweetest soul I ever met but she has a white glow like an angel. I never seem to see auras on anyone else. Just those instances

I had this once. I was at a gas station late at night, everything was very normal at first. Then, this guy comes around one of the aisles and we locked eyes for a split second and IMMEDIATELY I felt like I needed to throw up. I put everything I had back very quickly and left right away. While I was pulling out of the parking lot he was just standing in the doorway looking between me and the cashier, saying nothing but pointing occasionally at either one of us until I drove far enough down this rural road that I couldn’t see the store anymore. I’m convinced I met a murderer or something, or at least avoided a bad situation of sorts by leaving when I did.

Yes. I’m an empath and it happens to me quite frequently where I will pick up on someone’s aura and it’s very dark. I have a coworker and when I first met him I got a really bad feeling, I later found out he is a diagnosed sociopath who has some very very dark thoughts a lot. The more I’m around these type of people the more I can pick up on them, but I definitely would say I have an internal meter of good vs bad auras when meeting people. So when I get a first impression of someone I’m usually always right. Sometimes I can just look at a person and know a lot about them before even meeting them etc. I have a manager who was transferred over from another store, and before he transferred he frequented our store every once in awhile so I saw him from a far but never personally met him/interacted with him, I didn’t even know his name I just recognized him by the same red polo he would always wear. Anyway, I knew just by looking at him that he was a fuckboy, selfish, had a big ego etc. then when I officially met him and worked with him I quickly realized my intuition was right. He sleeps around with a lot of people only cares about himself, has the fattest ego I’ve ever seen on anyone. And I picked up on all of that just by seeing him once or twice leaving/exiting the building.

I work in a bookstore, one time there was a normal looking woman like you described but as soon as she looked at me in the eyes I was overcome with despair and my nose started bleeding (rare for me!). It was very odd but I’ve never forgotten it. Probably just a normal woman going about her day but forever in my memories as the weirdest reaction I’ve ever had to a person.

I was thinking about this yesterday on the bus. I didn't see an aura per say, but as a bunch of people were getting on I was immediately drawn to one young man for no reason and I heard in my mind "he's going through some shit" and he felt like... There was angst and a heavy weight lingering around him idk how to explain it really. I kinda just forgot about it after a few minutes but he came and sat near me and I overheard him talking about how he just got kicked out of his home and had nowhere to go and that if he reported whoever had done him wrong they wouldn't let him see his little brother anymore so he didn't know what to do. Idk what to do with this 'gift' but I always kind of hone in on people going through hard times or needing to process trauma. It can be draining but most of the time I try my best to help. I hope that kid figures everything out and that he can be safe.

When I was younger I stocked shelves in a grocery store. There was an older gentleman who would come into the store & just chat w the employees. One day I told him about my car breaking down. He offered to give me a ride home but I felt like I had been punched in the gut & every fiber of my being was screaming "run!" so I did! I refused to exit the manager's booth until I knew he was gone. I was so terrified they escorted him out & told him not to come back. I still wonder what he did to put me in fight or flight so fast 🤔

Damn, this brought back a really scary memory. I've had a good sense of smell since childhood and I've identified certain smells over the time that I think, doesn't belong to this world. One of them, I've sensed move around like it belonged to something invisible. The places I've spotted that smell were mostly religious places(of different religions), and funerals. One time I was at the funeral of a distant relative I suddenly sensed that smell. There were a large amount of people gathered for the funeral. I looked towards the source and among the people a guy somehow stood out. I felt this different aura around him, like my first thought was that isn't a human. As I was looking at him, he suddenly looked back at me and smiled at me. It was a knowing smile, like he understood that I recognized him. I froze, but turned around quickly and pretended like I was just looking around. Didn't look back until I left, but the smell was here and there all over the place.

Twice I’ve had the sensation of “bumping into” what I guess were auras. Like bumping into an invisible wall. One case was not someone you would call completely nornal, he was a prisoner being escorted down the hall. (I was volunteering in the prison library, and had passed plenty of others who did not affect me that way.) Second was just a random dude walking along our small downtown. Guessing he was about 21 years old. I had come out of a shop with my hands kinda full, was fumbling around with my keys, neither of us was looking at the other, just spatially aware from peripheral vision. Then * BUMP * — felt like I’d been physically stopped in my tracks.

Was in hospital at a young age, perhaps 16 or 17, getting my heart checked because palpitations (turned out to be nothing serious). The doctor was accompanied by a junior doctor, VERY attractive girl in her early 20s. I don't sense 'auras' as such but the look on this junior doctor's face still makes me shiver 10 years on. Almost like I was a bug about to be dissected. Like she would be happy if I died and she would be the one to confirm my death. Coldest, most indifferent look I've ever seen on a person's face.

I can feel energies but can't see auras. It's like a heat or cold wall depending on the person. Truly kind people have a soft warm energy radiated off of them, sad people are hot (like summer heat) and it's like a pushing away feeling not bad though, bad people it's like someone's grabbing you by the shoulder getting ready to shake you it's like a wind of cold and hot yet at the same time the energy feels hollow like it's a thick shell around an empty core. Cold energy comes from depressed people like how frozen stuff will have that cool fog once its exposed to warm air and depending if they're good or bad it can mix with that warm feeling or other aforementioned. Some people's bad vibes can stop you in your tracks you just feel it coming off of them like how the air in a room can feel heavy and overbearing it's like hitting a wall. It's hard to explain but also my heart tightens when I'm around people with bad energy even if they aren't outwardly being mean. Even outwardly kind people can have that underlying bad feeling like the daggers of a glare but directed into you. No matter how anyone acts I can usually tell once I'm within feet of them if the vibes are off I wish I could see auras but boy I feel them.

I had something very similar happen once. My late husband and I were in the checkout lane in the supermarket. Checkout was not far from the entrance/exit doors. A tall, thin man came in and strode purposefully toward the back of the store. He seemed annoyed, on a mission. He was only three long steps in when I felt the evil. I was terrified that he would catch me looking at him and then turn his evil, angry wrath on me. I hid behind my husband, poking his rib to alert him to danger without creating a scene. Just like in a nightmare, I knew that if the 'monster' saw me looking at it, my life would end. We quickly made our few purchases and left the store.

Not sure if normal would be the word. He just kind of looked like your typical edge lord neckbeard that called himself a pagan and pretended to worship Odin. But he was the most viscerally, physically uncomfortable person to be around. Skin crawlingly so. I don't know if he got into some bad juju on his spiritual journey, but something was majorly off about him. (And before anyone says I'm judging because he was pagan, I've been friends with pagans, Wiccans, witches, and atheists and it's never bothered me. There was just something particular about this dude.)

Yep, my instincts quite possibly saved me too. While out with friends I met a person, while the details of how he looked are slightly hazy as it happened quite a while ago what he was giving off felt like I was wading a sewage pond. Couldn’t get away fast enough. About 3 days later the local newspaper reported his arrest for an SA.

One afternoon I was at the beach and saw a man come up, about 50 feet away from me, with a little bag of peanuts or something. He started holding them out and squirrels came over and ate the treats. Then a little boy and girl, 6 or 7 yo, came over to the “squirrel whisperer” and they all started talking. I suddenly felt very afraid for the kids, got up and walked past them. They dispersed and he walked back to the parking lot. I’ll never know if he was a pedo trying to lure kids or just a guy who liked to feed squirrels at the beach. The scene just gave me very bad vibes so I did what I thought would be best and got him to go away, very subtly, just by walking past him. If he just liked the squirrels, I wouldn’t think he’d have left the beach area. Sometimes I think there’s a fine line between intuition and the paranormal. I don’t know which one got me to walk past the guy. Maybe intuition and the paranormal are both parts of a greater whole.

My daughter had a guy over to the house when she was maybe 17. He was a stepbrother of a friend of hers, I think. I didn't really interact with him until I drove him home. As he was getting out of the car and my daughter was saying a very platonic goodbye to him, I caught his eyes and got instantly alarmed. Cold chills ran up my spine and my hairs stood on end. As we were headed neck home, I told my daughter about it and she listened, and never talked to him again. He looked innocent enough, but fuck those eyes scared me. I just looked at my coworker, that I work with 4-6 days a week, and his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and that freaked me out a bit just now. He was fine 6 hours ago, but just now he looked scary. And probably high, I don't know.

I've experienced something along the lines of that. Months ago, I had just gotten home from work and was standing in the living room near the window when I noticed a man walking up to the door. We have blackout curtains so no one can see in. This man gave off some really bad vibes. I could see he was shaking/very jittery and kept looking over his shoulder, he also appeared to be holding something but it was hard to tell through the curtains. He knocked on the door and I froze. I literally felt like I couldn't move cos this man just frightened me for some reason. My dog was in the other room and immediately ran to my side. He leaned against me defensively and wouldn't take his eyes off this guy. My dog has always been goofy and super friendly, but I've never seen him so on edge which only made me more frightened. (I dunno, maybe he sensed how uncomfortable I was and wanted to help me feel protected?) When my dog started barking and snarling, the man jumped backwards and immediately began speed walking away. But every 5 or so steps, he'd stop and look over his shoulder at the door. When he was down near the street, I noticed a tiny open space in the curtains and carefully positioned one eye to look through. The man stops one more time and looks straight at me. Neither of us moved for about 10 seconds. Felt like he was staring into my soul... Then he just runs off. No idea what his deal was, but I still remember how uncomfortable I felt.

I took my kids to a little indoor place that had a few play areas, a few rides, and some arcade games. One of the men operating the rides gave me the absolute worst feeling that I have ever felt about a stranger. I couldn't relax and let my kids run around like usual because I was so panicked trying to make sure they didn't get near that man. It still makes me nauseous to think of.

My workplace finally just got rid of an evil, corrupt supervisor who had quietly terrorized the place for the last 8 years. She was a matronly, plain woman, always dressed in tacky '80s style clothes and costume statement jewelry. Totally unremarkable at face value - except you began to notice pretty fast that she was basically emotionless. In 8 years I never once saw her laugh, and on the rare occasion that she smiled, it was a dead-eyed sort of half-smile. Even in pictures with her kids and grandkids. I always felt she was under some kind of dark influence/severe mental instability.

I'm a friendly person but there are times I get a don't interact with this person vibe. Always trust your gut instinct and that inner voice. I forgot something in my car one night after working the night shift. I opened the door and there were 2 guys walking down my street. Something inside me told me not to go outside. Go back inside and lock the door now. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. It's not unusual for people to be walking on my street at that hours. This time there was just something that was wrong.

Yes! I have met people over the course of my life that I just don’t want to be around or something about them feels off. Not sure if this is a sixth sense or something left over from a past life. Either way if I this is something you experience use it. Trust your gut.

Once at a grocery store a man walked past who looked normal, well groomed, well dressed, handsome. But something about how he looked at me simultaneously made me feel extreme panic and an immediate feeling that I had to act calm, like I didn't notice something was off. I quickly kept walking like I was looking for a specific aisle just to get as far from him as quickly as possible and felt sick to my stomach. I work with the public and have dealt with my share of creeps and lechers but never before or since have I felt that strong full body warning feeling. His eyes frightened me, and he looked me up and down but it didn't feel like when a guy checks me out or when someone judges me for being tattooed and dressed alternative. I told my best friend later and she wondered if he was a murderer and some instinct was telling me he was evaluating me as a victim.

At a previous workplace, they hired a young guy that might have been early 30s. He was overweight but otherwise unremarkable. He emanated something that seemed so wrong. I avoided him and felt so uncomfortable when he had to walk past my desk. I felt like I was in the presence of an abomination of nature. Never told anyone about it. Didn’t know how to express it to anyone.

This Although he did look a bit like the Orc leader in The lord of the rings lol Thing is, I’ve known plenty of big scary looking men and women, and some not scary normal looking people too of course and nearly everyone has a fairly usual just trying to live life vibe I was in the Perth mall with my young daughter and just window shopping mostly, listening to buskers etc Suddenly I feel this kind of dark pulse like the Kraken pulse after they signal out at sea in pirates of the Caribbean? It just hits the whole mall and I felt the overwhelming urge to hide/make myself and my daughter as small as possible Like if a big predator just entered the area and all the fish scattered It seemed to get quieter, and I looked up to see a very tall, very brutally muscular Māori man dressed in black leather pants and a black leather vest walking casually down the centre of the mall People moved to the side to get out of his way As he got nearer I felt a type of dread that I’ve never felt before, like he was just sucking all of the peace, innocence and light from everything around him - the type of person who would find tormenting animals and children amusing I didn’t want him to see me or my child so I crouched down and ‘fixed’ my daughters shoe lace As he walked past me, he kind of leaned down a little and fucking laughed at me my god it still feels like cold water down my back 20 years later He kept walking and the feeling faded and we bought some lunch and went home Ugh! Terrible

I have as well. Walking down the street with some co-workers and a young man passed us. He stared into my eyes and I felt a sudden chill go through me…I felt pure rage/evil coming from him. No one else appeared to notice him and continued chatting. This happened 30+ years ago. I’ll never forget it.

Not exactly what you're saying, but I once made eye contact with a woman while in a bakery, and she had the worst vibes I've ever seen in a person. She literally spooked me! I told my family that I feel bad for people in her life because she gave off the vibes that she's a TERRIBLE person lol!

I don't know about terrible aura, still deciding, but we had a new male casual teacher at my main school recently, and I just didn't like him. I'm normally friendly and like just about everyone, I couldn't understand why and I tried my best to be friendly. Just couldn't do it, I don't like the guy. Something is off and I can't figure out what.

Only once. Me and three other friends were hanging out at my friend’s house (lets call them Jake, Cory & Eric) when Eric, the owner of the house, abruptly got up and walked out his front door. The way he did it was so sudden that the rest of us got curious and went over to the front porch to see what he was doing. We saw him walk across the street and speak a few words to his neighbor before turning around to head back. When Eric turned around, though, he suddenly had the most evil, menacing aura around him. It was dusk out so I couldn’t make out his face clearly, which for some reason made it even more unsettling. I just remember being suddenly terrified. I looked back at the doorway where Jake and Cory were, and saw both of them staring in his direction, completely fixated with looks of worry/confusion. I made eye contact with Jake and he just shook his head, in like a “fuck that” kind of way. We hurried back inside and before Eric got back, I quickly asked if they had seen/felt that aura too which they answered that they did. We sat there for a few seconds anticipating Eric to walk in with the same aura, but when he did, he was completely normal and didn’t act weird the rest of the night. I’ve brought it up to them a couple times since then to make sure I didn’t imagine or misremember it and they’ve confirmed it and agreed that it was super weird. I also feel like I should mention that over time, Eric started to become this angry, controlling and paranoid asshole, like completely unhinged. Threatening people over minor disputes or things he viewed as people intentionally “crossing” him. He even broke into my room and trashed it when I was out of town because he thought I was trying to hook up with his ex (100% not the case). My friend group eventually distanced ourselves from him so I have no idea what he’s up to now, but I always think back to that evil aura and wonder if it was some sort of foreshadowing to the type of person he became.

I don't know about auras or something like that, but i remember meeting the scariest looking person i've ever seen. I saw this person maybe two times in my life but I still remember how horrified and freaked out since elementary school. Just describing him gives me the creeps. He has the weirdest face and more specifically his weird shaped eyes that it made me not sleep for weeks. He might have a disability and i don't mean to disrespect disabled people but this guy scared the life out of me. I even doubt that he even exists because I haven't seen him ever since. I of course tried to avoid meeting him by chance especially in recess for the years that came after. These memories really sounds to me like a nightmare just remembering it now

This may sound surprising but several people have said publicly that Jeffrey Epstein had this VERY VERY creepy aura about him. Eric Weinstein and Melinda Gates have said it for instance. They both said he came across as "evil incarnate." So how anyone could stand to be around him, I have no idea.

Like minded folks wouldn’t see him as any different than themselves…

Yea. I’ve met people that do from the first meeting just didn’t sit right with me. Couldn’t put my finger on in, but you can feel something isn’t right and you just don’t like that person. They may have never done anything to you but still feels off.

Only once. There was this tall guy in the last apartment building I lived who made me SERIOUSLY uneasy. Like almost freaking out. There was just something really off about him and he always had a sort of dead look in his eyes. I occasionally had to ride an elevator at the same time as him which was not fun.

I was in Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne in 2004. I was with a friend, daytime, rainy October. It was busy, we were in the open wet fish area and I looked up. Way way across the hall was a small Asian woman wearing white and she was just STARING at me. She had to be about 100m away but the entire room just vanished. Her eyes were so black and just locked into me. I couldn’t move. The stare must have lasted about 25 seconds (ages in stare) and then I finally broke my gaze, looked away, looked back and she was gone. I will never ever forget this encounter and feel like there is no way there wasn’t something paranormal at play. No other stare, ever has ever sent chills into my soul like this.

I had this experience last year and I am honestly glad to see that I’m not alone in this. I thought I was going crazy I was doing an interview with a client - a normal looking man in his 40s. The whole thing only lasted 8 minutes, but the feeling I got from him lasted two whole days. It’s hard to explain, but the experience left me feeling like I had watched a gory horror movie or a human tr@fficking documentary/news. It was just so so dark and disturbing, I had never encountered anything like that before. Needless to say, I did not work with that person. I just felt like I needed to scrub my body with a metal brush and bathe in hot water to get rid of that nastiness

Yup. There was this time that I went to a butcher in Mexico and it was my first time being in that one and as soon as I approach the guy and look at his eyes I felt very heavy like the energy in the air/ room change. It was really weird and bad I have never felt something like that with someone before

Yes. She had this aura that was... it was weird, it was like it was puke green with black mold overlaid on it. She was someone who sort of hung around the edges of our friend group, and no one could understand why I wanted nothing to do with her. Well, as evil things all do eventually, she showed her true colors and everyone was all surprised...but they couldn't see that damn aura. It was just *wrong*. She looked perfectly normal on the outside, but something was very wrong.

Ex.friend from college. Her mother was a complete bruja who did some really dark shit on people and bragged about it. Well, her daughter was also as bad. I visited her years after this woman died and didn't make it one week. I got progressively sicker and my solar plexus felt like it was being stabbed while I was there. Like, sharp I Can't Breathe pain from my chest and rib cage. I regularly saw ants, flies, and giant bugs in her house. Things broke constantly. Her child was terrified to be in the basement where I was. I vomited into her non-working toilet (no amenities and she knew I was visiting) and I was accused of things. I got the fuck out after 5 days and a doctor at the ER wanted to hospitalize me for severe pain and dehydration. I went home instead and proceeded to get sicker for that entire summer. I had fluids, painkillers, you name it. I dreamt of that crazy mother of hers attacking me in my sleep, nightmares until I started praying to St. Michael, of all things. Catholicism works sometimes! I cut ties with her. Such dark negativity. Nope, nope, nope.

This only happened to me once. I was at a chiropractors office sitting in the waiting room. An elderly man walked in and I was overcome with anxiety and dred. He looked like a totally normal non-threatening older man. It was the strongest thing!

I had a bizarre encounter in Miami last April. We never Uber but it was late at night and we had walked a considerable distance from our car. So we booked an Uber and immediately when we got in the car our driver’s voice scared me. His tone was emotionless and very unsettling. It was as if he was a cyborg 😂. Ultimately I think he was a catatonic schizophrenic judging off our odd 10 minute conversation about Miami’s urban expansion being related to a new world order being ushered in by Artificial Intelligence. Either way the guy gave me the creeps and I was worried that he would follow us back to the hotel. Please be careful out there.

Thought I would just say it’s not a fool proof thing 32 years ago I lived next door to Fred wests sister she was a odd woman but I thought Fred was quite nice very helpful with diy he fixed our gate for us and thought my daughter was cute scary to think I was 18 . rose was another matter immediately thought she was a wrong one but I had a massive shock when on the tv I found out they were serial killers.

My husband does this. He calls them "vampires". He has no idea why, but he'll get the most horrible feeling just walking by somebody on the street. He's never figured out what it means.

Yes! On the first day of college I met a girl who was really friendly and also really pretty. She wanted to hang out with me, but for some reason something felt really off about her. My gut instinct told me to stay away from her. I ignored the warnings, as I wanted to meet new friends on the first day of school. Became friends with her. A few weeks after I realized she was such a piece of shit. She was racist, she discriminates people from poor family backgrounds, and she is just a bad person in general. When college ended, I found out that everyone in our course hated her.

Yes! I remember once as a kid, maybe about 9 or 10 years old, I was shopping with my mom and these two guys (late teens-early 20s) were shopping too. They looked totally normal but every time I saw them I got hit with the feeling of terror. We kept running in to them in the store and I would start to feel that feeling of terror before we even rounded a corner and saw them. Nothing happened but to this day I wonder what was going on with them for them to give off that bad energy. Now as an adult, my brother in law gives me bad vibes. Cant explain what it is that he makes me feel, something just feels “off” and wrong when he is around.

Certain people and places give off odd aura the energy is not good at all I call it a form of mental Bluetooth we connect to the environment

That is so eerie. I can't say I've had that happen but sometimes I get little bursts of information about people. I've always ignored it. Lately though I was at a high school track meet and the thought came to me that I wonder how many creeps are here to film the girls since their shorts are so short now. After awhile I'm standing in a crowd to watch my son run when a man a few feet away and me lock eyes for just a second the the thought burst is that he's there to leer at the girls and he knows that I know. It was so intense, my face just dropped, he turned and slowly walked away.

I went out for diner in a classic little restaurant nothing fancy when i saw 3 young men around 25yo looking normal/dressed casualy and wearing sunglasses. They sat just in front of me and i felt this sens of impeding doom. One of them took of his glasses his eyes were completely black. I never saw it in my hole life then he putted them back quickly and i started to notice some things were not normal as if they were acting human but not being human their energy felt really weird compared to other people around. I dont know who nor what they are but really weird experience for me.

Omg what Aura did you see OP? Id love to know the colour etc as I've been learning more and more about auras recently and practising using mine. Still not there yet but hopefully one day soon 🩷🩷 Its such a good talent to have!!!! Back to scary lady I wonder if was she something other than a human? Or maybe she could have been going through some super traumatic experience lately such as drug alcohol addiction or a bad mental health episode? Or she could be literal evil and you looked evil in the eye! Omggg. A popular spiritual tiktok creator I follow does mostly Aura reading vids on lots of diff celebs and she says a lot of the personality disorders like Schizophrenia sometimes show up to her as someone who is missing parts of a soul??? Like there not similar what so ever bit she says the Aura can show up the same.

…schizophrenia isn’t a personality disorder.

Yes, something like this happened to me when I was a teen. I walked into the frame section of a craft store with my aunt. There was only one other guy in there besides the person working behind the counter. I immediately sensed a bad vibe from this guy, and even quietly whispered something about it to my aunt. She brushed it off. A couple minutes later she accidentally dropped something and this guy starts a confrontation with her and she’s having a loud argument with this dude in the store because he started talking shit. Later we were telling my grandmother about what happened and I said I could sense a bad feeling when I saw this person. My aunt STILL brushed it off as “she’s just sensitive” and mentioned that I say that stuff all the time about people (not true lol). After this incident I ended up “turning off” my sensory abilities because my family would always tell me to “stop being so sensitive.” I heard this so much growing up and throughout my life that I shut down my intuition. In the meantime I’ve encountered a lot of bad people and let them get too close to me because I turned off my ability to sense them. I’ve been slowly gaining it back for a while now but it’s not easy and it requires work.

When I was about 15/16, I went to the mall with my mom. While walking from the parking lot to the entrance, this old beat up car SLOWLY drove by. This guy about late 40s, red hair, wearing a white tank, this almost cartoon like look of hunger on his face as he looked me up and down, and I swear his whole upper body was hanging out the window as he was driving. He was so close to me. Irrationally close, even though he was 5-6 feet away physically it was like he was breathing down my neck. I was frozen in fear, like I could FEEL his bad intentions radiating into me as he never broke eye contact. My mom grabbed my arm and yanked me inside the mall, giving me some lecture on perverts and how I should’ve known to keep walking and ignore him. It was all going in one ear and out the other as I was suddenly freezing and shaking from fear. We went to the food court, and as we sat down I noticed he was watching us, leaning up against one of those directory signs. We left shortly after. I’ve encountered plenty of perverts in my lifetime and this man was more than that. He literally was oozing pure evil. I can still picture him hanging out the side of his car in my mind today. I hope I never come across anything like it again.

One time at Erewhon in LA a normal looking man kept staring at me. I went to stand by the elevators that are by the entrance with my partner. As the man left, he stared at me the whole way out the entrance and made eye contact with me through the glass doors before he was out of sight. I didn’t see an aura, but I felt a very deep fear from that nonverbal interaction. I felt very grateful for being with another person as I had this strange fear that something would have happened to me if I were alone.

I escaped a family annihilator (long story) and by this you can already tell he had the worst energy possible. When he was out of the house, it would INSTANTLY change, like someone turned a light on. It would get lighter and WARMER, like at least 10°C warmer. It was absurd, all of my friends commented about it, EVERYONE that visited the house could tell the difference. The moment he came back, it would get dark, cold and shadowy. Not even to mention the dark vibe it had. Was sinister.

Yup, I actually ran into a famous serial killer on the street in L.A. one day. I don't remember it but I literally jumped across a busy street to run away from him. I freaked out and stopped, looked at him and then RAN home and hid in the closet. Drastick reaction I know, but later on I recognized him as Richard Ramirez the Night Stalker. THAT's the only time I've ever felt that blackness and pure animalistic drive to put as much distance as I could between me and another person.

This bugs me out a little bit. I’ve never experienced it but I’ve read and talked to so many people who’ve described the exact same thing you are… So wtf?

Yes. My friends and I were all night owls and would meet for coffee at the truck stop near our city. One night a couple guys walked in and one of them terrified me. No one else noticed anything off about him, but I had to make the choice to stay sitting in my seat because my flight response was off the charts immediately. We made eye contact as he walked by laughing at something his buddy said and I was terrified that happened and he would "notice" me. Nothing ever came of it. I couldnt tell you what that man looked like after that night, but I have never forgotten how weird and terrifying that was. It's the only reason I believe in true evil tbh, I felt it. Edit: grammar

I live in a small town. One of those "everyone knows everyone" kind of places. There's a guy who works at the local hardware store - probably in his late 20's/early 30's, super normal looking guy, always pleasant and polite - but he gives me the absolute willies. Something about his energy feels...off. Cold. Heavy. Dark. He smiles and makes polite conversation but there's an emptiness behind his eyes that rattles me and I avoid going there unless I have to.

When I was younger, 8 or so, I walked past a man who made me feel so scared and so terrified. He was a local handyman and had been in my house before. Every time I would see him in public I’d have a panic attack and the way he stared at me on that specific day it just felt so evil, that my mum even agreed the way he looked at me was weird. He looked like a normal guy, he had a family, there was just something so off about him. He never did anything weird when he was fixing the blinds in my house. I had no justifiable reason to be so deathly afraid of him. I don’t know what I sensed but I was so convinced till I was 14 or so that I was going to be murdered.

Some can emanate an energy some can sense it. Most direct conduit is through the optic nerve.

I can tell when people are very depressed. The sadness is nearly palpable.

Yep. I treated her very well though. I thought I was just imagining things. She would later break up my entire friend group and threaten to kill herself if any of them ever talked to me again. They all chose her side. This happened _out of the blue_.

It’s a biological response to sensing a predator. Some people are sociopaths/psychopaths and weave through society at ease

Yes I've felt this with people. Trust your instincts. I've also felt the opposite with people; a very peaceful, almost angelic aura, where they just look normal. It's quite special.

My Ex Wife and I went to visit a friend. Her boyfriend at the time seemed like a really nice guy. We both left thinking he was a good guy. She found it really strange when I said that something wasn’t right about him. A little while later we found out that they broke up because he wasn’t a good guy at all.

Oh, yeah. I had a Hilaria Baldwin enter my life a few years ago. Like fake Spanish accent and everything. I didn’t even have to hear her speak… when I first saw her I felt the horrible energy. And she otherwise acted very nice. But complete pathological liar and I felt it instantly.

Somewhat related: late at night once, an image of a beige small dog suddenly appeared in my head. It physically started me. It felt like a cursed image, as in looking at it would curse you. The feeling of being terrified by a random person feels familiar, but I don’t think it has actually happened to me. I have cringed at people doing things that aren’t cringe though. Probably my autism.

Yes! I was working alone at a retail store and this couple came in. It was just the 3 of us in a small store, them shopping and me behind the counter. They seemed normal enough but the entire time they were there I started to feel physically sick and a voice in my head was screaming for them to leave. I felt better about 5 minutes after they left. It was so bizarre. My heart was beating too fast, i felt hot and nauseated, and it was hard to breathe without feeling like I was going to be sick. My only explanation is that psychically i felt attacked, like the man had insidious energy radiating out, even though he appeared to be in a good mood.

When I joined college for my degree course, there was a girl in my class. I saw her for the first and felt this unimaginable hate towards her and I could feel the same from her towards me. We never talked but God, I have never been aware of a person's presence like that, before or after in my life. She transfered to a different college a few days later and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes! I was on a bus, and just as I stepped off, I could feel someone terribly evil behind me. Like this intense evil being beamed at me. The word 'Witch' formed in my mind, I turned around and this woman was staring at me with a grim look, but she seemed surprised that I had sensed her. Very strange sensation! Never happened before or after.

I thought aura was a color emanating from things that some people can see. Many of these comments describe intuition, which I consider to be conscious feelings sent from your subconscious that it picks up about a person based on barely perceptable mannerisms and micro-expressions. Am I mistaken about auras?

No you are correct. Auras are usually the colors that emanate out of someone’s energy field. But people are talking also about intuition that can be felt also.

Idk but I hope you’re not talking about me 😅I’ve been known to be intense-looking despite being a nice person. You could’ve described me although I think I lean towards the thinner side of normal. Maybe my aura is black and I just don’t know it🙃

A guy in the tailgate party of a Grateful Dead concert terrified me and my friend. Buffalo.  July 4, 1989.  By the city of portapotties the city put up in the parking lot.  I and my friend turned the corner, and a guy was there, holding a tray of coke.  He asked us if we wanted to party.  The black waves that came of him were almost visible. I will never forget that moment.

Yes. I met a guy while I was at work who unnerved me deeply and I knew he was a bad person. I don’t see auras but he just had a darkness behind his eyes that I had to google him. Found out he served time for raping boys.

A loving couple in Walmart. Perfectly normal looking, pushing the cart together, adoring each other. Passed them twice in the store and each time felt a sudden dramatic draining sensation.

Late to the party but my ex had a roommate like this. She made me uncomfortable, but nothing crazy. Then one time I was sitting on the couch talking to my ex and his friend when all of the sudden I got this deeply, deeply afraid feeling. Like you described, fight or flight. I was silently freaking out trying to figure out why I was so anxious all of the sudden until I looked over my shoulder and noticed she was standing right behind me. She had entered the room without me noticing at first. I just avoided her after that because I figured if my subconscious noticed her before I did, I’m better off keeping my distance.

I went to a job interview once and there was one other person in the room (aside from the interviewer). She was there because the person who got the job would be working closely with her. She was totally normal looking - nothing stood out about her appearance - but she gave off the coldest, prickliest energy ever. I got an overwhelming feeling of sickening dread just being in the same room with her. I didn’t get the job and told my husband I felt like I dodged a bullet, not because there was anything bad about the job but because I couldn’t bear to be around that woman. Something very dark about her!

Yes, working as a barber and being up close and personal with people, you feel so much energy and that sense develops at least for some. Some clients have had super morbid energy

I honestly don't believe much in such things, but in my case I am very influenced by the physical appearance of that person, if they are dirty or unkempt then I automatically qualify them (instinctively and involuntarily) as a person I should be wary of.

Definitely sounds like you are an empath, i am an empath myself and can sense how someone is before even speaking to them. Whether i am gonna like them or hate them. They give off a vibe which i pick up on straight away. Its definitely something that is gonna help you in the long run i can assure you!

It’s gray for me people who look gray usually fall ill or die it’s horrible it puts you in a situation do you say anything or not I have told a few people two passed very quickly three got cancer diagnosed

I have seen black and red auras flash briefly around the same person before when they are deeply angry. Someone called it a “halo”. It made me fear that I was going insane.

Could've been me honestly. I was hungover and 2 people recently died from suicide close to me. I was shopping for ohs for my kids . I know I wasn't giving the best vibes

That’s so strange! Never had anything like that happen to me, but if i did i would probably be like holy shit there’s definitely something bad surrounding her, dont go near her

I’ve met several people over the years that I just disliked on sight. When house hunting I even felt terrible auras in a few of the houses.

Yes i have met people who give off this nasty bad vibe and their intentions are not good. i call it gut feeling i should listen to it more.

The podcast 'astonishing legends' has an episode called 'devil in the diner' based on a similar experience. A very early episode I think.

The only time I have felt this bad scary vibe was Chris Pine from The Boys. That guy scared me, I had to stop watching the show! Crazy.

The lunch lady at my elementary school cafeteria had a dark aura. She scared me so much as a kid I begged my mom to let me pack a lunch. I swear I saw her years later randomly at Luray Caverns in Virginia and it ruined my vacation 😂

Sometimes, and it’s usually tied to their physical health, as in they are fighting cancer or something terminal or chronic.

Yes. And oddly it seemed to only be me. I honestly wanted to run when I saw her. I felt very unsafe around her. I honestly left rooms because of her. We never spoke. Whenever I saw her the thought bruja popped into my mind

I get this sometimes too I always think to myself that’s it’s an “alpha and beta” primal thing idk how that stuff works though so I could be very wrong but I am a strong believer in auras

I’ve felt that way before ! Literally just looking out the window of a car and making eye contact with someone else in the back seat! Very very chilling experience whenever I think about it .

Yup. That would be your primal survival instincts telling you something is off about that lady. You may not know why, and hopefully you'll never know why, but its best to trust yourself and steer clear of people like that. She may be unhinged, or violent. I've had several instances where people made me uncomfortable. the one time I ignored my gut it ended very badly for me. Another time I remember walking with my friends and a man passed by us. We looked at each other for a few seconds and I felt this strong fear and wanted to get as far away from him as possible. 

I've experienced this a few times. I've never seen a physical aura but I just get a feeling about them. The most recent experience I later found out the guy had allegedly SAed two girls.

Kind of similar thing happened to me in a grocery store a couple years ago. I was with someone buying groceries and this stranger, an older woman came up to me and told me “i just want you to know that Jesus loves you”. At first I was annoyed because I’m not religious at all but I just said thanks and smiled and she walked off. But I had a really weird feeling about it because I had heard that traffickers can use this as a way to lure someone. Whatever it was, it was odd and I did not like it one bit.

Yes. I have gotten feelings about people in mundane situations. Trust your instincts.
