Humans are multidimensional beings. We can exist as fractals in several dimensions and several versions of ourselves, because even the concept of time is not real. I'm Beth Ann Campbell, and this is Something Weird Happened Here. Welcome to Something Weird Happened Here, the podcast for people who love a twisted tale but aren't afraid to poke at it a bit. We share stories that are postmarked peculiar and then explore the story with curiosity and an open mind. Stay tuned after the show to find out how to submit your strange saga, and maybe we or you will share it on air. Now let's get started, because no matter where you are in this mysterious world, something weird happened here. This tale is postmarked Vienna, Austria. Subject line: Black Orbs, Hotel Hauntings, and Clairsentiens. Today we're talking again with my friend Tanya, who's had multiple paranormal experiences. She's also a neurodivergent clairsentient, which means she senses energies, positive or negative. This is part two of a two-part episode. Let's pick up where we left off last episode. Do you think that because because most people, whether they have um, I think of course we all have some sort of intuitive ability, but most of us do not, it does not manifest in the way that it does with with someone like yourself. Do you think that energies um I know that of course there are energies that are just exist and you pick up, but do you think that energies are also attracted to you, like you're um, you know, a path of least resistance because perhaps they on they know or s or they sense that you can sense them?
SPEAKER_01Well, I think that if I was a medium, then they would have already come to me in childhood. Because if you're a true medium, they they will come to you and and be there, especially when you are a child, because then you are still much more clairvoyant, clairodient, clairsentient than if you are grown. So they would would have tried when I was little. And I do not know if if they tried, but there is a little hint because my parents said to me, Tanya, the first thing that we remember you saying was, when you were a little child and we tried to put you to bed and turn the lights off, and we said goodbye, have a good sleep. Then your first words that you spoke as a two-year-old was, wait, wait alone. Wait, wait alone. That's what you said. So please wait, don't leave me alone. Yeah. Um, so maybe, maybe when my parents went away, something happened. I I do not consciously remember. Um, but what my most positive experience, because you you were talking about that, one of the it's not a most positive experience, but it is a positive one, is when I was in Mexico. Uh, and this hotel is also very old, and it's always the hotels because in hotels there is a lot of energy coming from people from abroad, and then they bring something with them. So I was in a hotel in Mexico, and at 3 a.m. at night, exactly at 3 a.m., I was awake, I couldn't sleep. So it's oftentimes in in hotels that I can't sleep because there is a lot of uh energy going on. And at three, it goes on my door. I'm like, who is knocking my hotel room door at 3 a.m.? That's very weird, you know. So I go and look and I see I had first I looked if there is anything that could knock, you know, something that maybe moves a cupboard door or anything, but there was nothing. Everything was dead silent, and so I opened the door of the of the hotel room, and even outside it was dead silent because normally I, you know, the hotel had a garden, so normally you should have heard at least something, maybe like the crickets or maybe a bird or something walking in the grass, but it was so dead silent. So I was like, that is weird. It's it's so dead silent, and there's nobody out there, but I hear three times knocking, you know. But I thought, okay, but that's basically the the hotel ghosts, you know. They do that.
SPEAKER_00It's it's interesting. So I had a guest on a friend of mine, um, who talked about um she has had multiple experiences with we we call them UFOs because that's what it felt like. She she was um at her parents' she was very young. She she and her sister were in their early teens and they were building a house, so they were staying out there before the house was complete, and then one night um at midnight it was dark, and then this light just lit up and she said they could kind of see something. But one of the things that she talked about was before this happened, you know, you could hear the frogs, you could hear the crickets, you could hear the just the sounds of of night, right? There's it's very rare to find to find yourself in complete silence, and that's what ha exactly what happened. And it makes me wonder because she had uh subsequent um experiences in this same area with uh not the hovering, although her her father had multiple with the hovering, um where it just turned everything bright daylight. But she had like three experiences where there were these light bulbs that were traveled very fast, kind of sounded like your your black orb, but not black, just um light. And it and I just wonder now with you you talking about that silence, I wonder if I wonder if it wasn't an alien visitation, but perhaps something uh different and paranormal. I'm just curious about that um silence.
SPEAKER_01Because if there is not even a gust of wind in in the trees, then something is far off.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But um I wouldn't say necessarily aliens, because I mean if if I I do believe that aliens are there and that they exist, but I think mostly they live among us, you know. I think they they look like us, uh or at least similar to us, and they they live and normally among us, and they maybe have some kind of uh possibility to do camouflage or whatever, but um I I wouldn't, you know, I don't expect them to be so extremely different from me, even though there are a lot of uh theories about that. Um so I I wouldn't go into that necessarily.
SPEAKER_00I I but I it's really an interesting theory because we did try to think about what could it have been, and I don't necessarily believe we don't really have any evidence. That doesn't mean that it's true, that like some other planet, you know, a bazillion light years away has the technology. Um it's it's a very it's uh it's an unlikelihood. There's probably life elsewhere, but I'm more inclined to believe that there's an some sort of an alternative dimension or inner dimension or alternate universe where that perhaps, like you talked about the ley lines, there is some belief that in certain parts of the world the veil is thinner between dimensions, between or you we're are are you the one? Yeah, you didn't you talk about yeah, you were you we talked about this uh concept of a four. Yeah, tell me that this because this is fascinating. This is fascinating.
SPEAKER_01Um, so I do believe that there are 12 dimensions, but uh one of the things that I've heard, it's it's not uh wisdom from me, so I can't remember who said it, but one of the things I heard is if there is the human who is a 3D being and we have a two-dimensional shadow on the wall of ourselves, then there might be a 4D being having a three-dimensional shadow, and that's why we see shadow people. So that he explained it like that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that makes perfect sense. And that when you t told me that, I mean, that's what I kind of thought of too. Or could there even be uh uh ways for people um, you know, humans in a in a parallel universe to have, you know, are there portals or ways that somehow they could, or could we even just be seeing into them where where the the veil or the um the barrier is is thin? I don't know. There's so many, so many possibilities. I even was um I think we I talked to you a little bit about this about my you know my my fascination with with dark energy because we know dark energy is out there, it's around us, it's out in the universe. We can't perceive it with instruments, we know it's there and we don't know a lot about it, but you know, could that be related to consciousness? Could it be related to some of the things that people experience? I think it's just a kind of a fascinating, fascinating subject.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so the number one thing I believe is that a human is a multidimensional being, so we definitely can exist as fractals in several um dimensions and several versions of us, because even the concept of time is not real, there is no time. We only think that there is time because we have uh like this point in time where we're born, and this point in time where the physical body dies, and we experience it as linear, going from one place to the other. But as soon as our physical body dies, we see it again, we come back into that knowledge. Oh, there is no time because I am an eternal being, so I was fooled uh while I was here, and that being that I am here is not my true me. My true self is what I am after this physical body is gone. This physical body is just an avatar which I use to be here and to move around here in this sphere uh and in this dimension, also. Um, and the second thing is where I think you are right, is they told us at school that vacuum outside in the in the universe in space is nothing. But now we know from quantum physics vacuum is not nothing, vacuum is the multiplicity or the entirety of all the possibilities. So it's basically vacuum is like a stem cell. A stem cell can develop into a heart cell or a brain cell or a kidney cell or whatever it wants to, and so vacuum is the same. Vacuum can develop into a planet, can develop into a bird, into a tree, into a table, into a laptop. So basically, we we are what we're looking at is a is a huge possibility of, yeah, a huge amount of possibilities is actually the theory.
SPEAKER_00It's fascinating, even from a you know, from a scientific, pure scientific perspective. I was listening to um, I believe it was Neil deGrasse Tyson. This is this is not his theory, but he was talking about this fascinating theory of because um because you know, things are made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of electrons and protons and neutrons, and there's this theory out there that there's only one electron, because every electron behaves exactly the same. They're identical, they behave exactly the same. So there's this theory that because space-time is so connected, um, and yet it's so hard to even grasp conceptually, that there's just one electron in the all of the universe that is just, you know, um back and forth in in infinite space-time continuums, that and that's how we see things. So I I don't know. It's I I can't my mind go starts to explode when I think start thinking of that stuff, but it is fascinating.
SPEAKER_01That concept is also known from spirituality. They say there is only one consciousness, and this one consciousness, which some people call God or source or whatever, this one consciousness has basically cut itself into thousands and millions and billions of fractals, and each of these little fractals is us. So basically, like you have a tree, and we are the little leaf on the tree, becoming conscious that it's not just a leaf, also connected to the branch, the branch connected to the trunk and whatever, you know what I mean. So basically, the there is just one consciousness, and that's all of us. So basically, consciousness is talking to itself right now.
SPEAKER_00It's just fascinating. It's so hard for us mere humans to to grasp, but um, so kind of getting back to more um classic stuff. Uh have you had, I know you we talked about a few situations. Have you had any what I would call like classic ghost encounters where you have sensed or seen or picked up on what you believe to be is the the remnant, whether it's um aware or not, of course.
SPEAKER_01I can't think of one now, but I've always had weird experiences in hotels because I was traveling so much. Um, and once I was in a hotel that was even here in Vienna, because back then I lived in Graz and I needed to search for an apartment here in Vienna, so I needed a place to stay in Vienna, so I went to that hotel, and that's also a very old one. And in that room, my laptop started to do whatever. I mean, you could just say that was hacking, that was somebody hacking my laptop. That's perfectly possible.
SPEAKER_00You're in hacking you.
SPEAKER_01I'm I'm in my bed, you know, and the laptop is shut. So the laptop was not turned off, but it was shut. And before I had it uh shut, I had music on. So I I think I put in YouTube or whatever, and then I closed the browser and I closed the laptop and went to sleep. And then while I'm lying there falling asleep, suddenly the laptop starts playing music. And I'm like, do the ghosts want to have a party or am I being hacked?
SPEAKER_00It's so weird. Like hotels, theaters, and prisons for some reason. Um, I'm sure it's just because, again, like you said, there's so many different people, a lot of um really strong energy of different types, people from different places going through there. But it's really interesting how many haunted hotels, haunted prisons, probably the violence is a factor there, and then theaters um very notoriously haunted. So I I guess it's uh a tribute to all the colorful people that are that are coming through. Um, so Tanya, you had mentioned um to me that most of your experiences that you've had, whatever they are, have not made you afraid. And I've heard this from other people too. And I know so many people who are afraid of seemingly minor things. Um having been a paranormal investigator for 10 years, I saw a lot of fear come in. What it what is it that that helps you to not be afraid when you experience this thing? Because honestly, I've said this before. I would if I saw a black orb do what it did in my house, I would probably shit my pants. I'm not even joking. And I did this for 10 years. I was looking for so what is it that keeps you not afraid?
SPEAKER_01Number one, I'm Austrian, so I am very, very like like a general from the military. I tell them, get out of my house, or I'm gonna show you what I can do.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01And it's not gonna be nice for you. So I'm I'm quite strict. And number two, I am autistic, and an autistic person always has this extra that we are a little bit like scientists. We can look at things very, very neutrally, so that people often call us cold-hearted. You know, they they called me cold-hearted, and many other autistics out there too. Don't you have any feelings? And we're like, sure, we have feelings, but we have the ability to look at something very, very objective, like uh a true uh scientist would. That is why many autistics feel so well in science and go into science. And I did that too. I studied pharmacy for a long time because I I felt so great there, because it's it's like everything is about repetition. So you repeat, you repeat, you repeat, and then you have your clear answer. And also it is about you know finding out the truth. So you look at different aspects, you check out all the possible reasons that could um make something happen, and then in the end, you you build your opinion. And if you if your opinion is changed by new evidence, then fine, then then you're open-minded, you're you're open to that. You know, that's that's what a true scientist is for me. So for me, I look at these things and I say, I'm in control of my reality because this is my life and this is my body, and this is my home. Yeah, if I am in a hotel, sure it's not my home. But then I say, hey, as long as I am here, you don't do that, you don't uh mess with my laptop. You can do that with the next person who comes through the door and who has no idea. Yeah, but but with me, it's it's a little bit different. So, and also you do protection. For example, I do not drink any alcohol. And if if you also I would not recommend anyone out there to do any drugs or something because that invites them, you know, alcohol will make uh holes, little holes in your aura. So it's so if your aura is like a kitchen sieve, then of course everything will get in there. Um, but what I did have once was a ghost that actually followed me. So I don't know where I picked it up. Maybe, maybe because I forgot on a cemetery or something that I forgot to say something. I don't know where I picked it up, or maybe from one of the hotels. I have no idea. But definitely this presence was with me for about one and a half years. And it was in an apartment, and in this apartment there was one specific light next to my bed, which it always made um blink as if it had a Morzing code message for me or something. And you know, it it was like one day the lamp worked fine, next day too, and then on the next day it went off like disco, you know. I'm like, okay, what what are you trying to tell me? Um, so this this thing was longer with me because it always liked to touch my hair, you know. I felt it touch my hair and pick it up, you know. That that's somehow they they like to pick up long hair. That's creepy. So things like that. Um but the good thing is I I know a friend of mine, and I said to her, Listen, you you also have these psychic abilities, help me get rid of this. And she did that with me over the phone. Um, and we made a little uh ritual for it to leave my aura. Um, we said, Okay, you've been a guest here long enough, and now it's time to move on for you. And the funny thing was the next time I saw it was you know, that apartment complex I live in was like a square, you know. So when you look out the window, you see on the other side of the field, you see the windows of the other people. And then I looked out and I saw in another apartment the lights going like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. That's why you moved in now. So it basically said goodbye to me from the other side of the patio.
SPEAKER_00Do you do um anything? You talk about um a lot of things to do to get rid of spirits or to cleanse. Do you have anything that you would do? Maybe um you talk like in you talked about the hotel in um in the UK where you just really didn't even do any research or you didn't even prepare. Are there things that you might do to prepare to protect yourself or block or um maybe put a shield up for, or is it more reactive?
SPEAKER_01Yes, for a long time I was way too naive because you know you're you're uh basically being brainwashed by this very scientific mind-oriented society that we live in, which is fine, science is fine, but they also brainwash you to shove everything else aside, and that's just not balanced, you know, that's not the golden middle way to just say there is only the physical and there is nothing in the non-physical. That's stupidity, actually. But I was so brainwashed, you know, that I didn't believe in all of that stuff. For half of my life, I didn't even believe in God and anything, yeah. So um I I really did too little of protection. But in order to protect yourself, look at how old is that that thing that I'm moving to. If it's an 800-year-old hotel, then maybe it's good if you don't go there, you know. Um, and also ask the people there, ask the the staff who works there, who have been working there, not like a month, but for a few years, ask them is there anything going on? Most of them will be honest and say what they have seen or heard. Um, some of them might not tell you because maybe the the boss told them not to say anything. Um, yeah, but that depends. I mean, and of course, always do your own aura protection. Like each day, say that that you are protected. You can also call in your ancestors for protection. You know, I I tell, hey grandma, can you please be with me today because I have an important appointment? Can you please be uh by my side in spirit and and help me through that? So you can do that and also sage your own aura. Um, do a salt bath with with sea salt, things like that. That that is just cleansing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I love the ancestor thing because I do um and I don't do this necessarily proactively, I should, but sometimes when I'm feeling bad or negative, I will do this little ritual where I, you know, do a relaxation and I kind of um I have these infinite golden threads that I just connect with the universe, but I pull in the energy of my former selves, my future self, my mother who's passed away, my sisters who are alive because they are you know just pure love to me, my dog sometimes, you know, my husband. So sometimes I just pull in these energies just to have around me to um to make me feel better. But I haven't done it proactively before as sort of a ritual. I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna put something together to to do that. I I love that. Just I just you know, but if nothing else, it's just good vibes to be thinking about. You know, people that you love and things that are good in your life and to have to be surrounded by that. Um and I think that's very scientific.
SPEAKER_01Because because you were saying about uh childhood experiences and and mediumship and stuff like that, what I just thought of was when I was a kid, by nature I was believing in these things from the other side. So when I was a kid, like maybe eight, nine, ten, I always used to have one card out of a regular playing card deck with me. It was the Queen of Hearts. Um, so this I always had with me in my pocket because I believed it it brings me luck. So by nature, I was already a kid that is very um, you know, superstitious, or how do you say that in English? Like believing in things that that other people might not believe in. Yes, okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you haven't been you haven't been adulted, uh brainwash adulted into you can't believe that. That's not true.
SPEAKER_01And I realized that also in sports, because when we in sports at school, when we had team sports like basketball and volleyball and all of this, I was always the one thinking like my team is gonna score in 10 seconds, and then and then it happened. So and I thought, hey, maybe that's me, maybe that's me creating that, you know, manifestation kind of thing. But back then, of course, I didn't know the term manifestation yet, but I thought of myself as maybe it was me that helped my own team there.
SPEAKER_00I think that um, because I'm not a religious person, I think when people um pray, for me, the power of prayer is that it is energy that you're pulling in and manifesting. You you can if enough people and enough energy comes in that you can manifest stuff. Um, I had a guy on the show, um, his name is Ray, and he's uh just a really fun guy, but he has some abilities. And we were trying to figure out is it luck? Is it manifestation? Is it psychic ability? Because he would have this uncanny ability over and over and over again to sort of predict things, but it was almost like he was making those things happen, like somebody winning at the craps table in in Las Vegas or you know, somebody hitting a home run. And it's just um it's really interesting because I think they're all connected, right? I think, you know, we call it um, you know, when I first went into it, I was like, oh, it's you have psychic abilities. But then the more he talked, I said, I don't know if it's psychic. Is it luck? Because it's just you you pull in lucky energy and you know, is it manifestation? I don't know. I think it's fascinating, and that's one of the things I love about you, Tanya, is that you you don't dismiss science and you don't dismiss that those things that are traditionally not considered science. You find a way to uh blend all of that and um and you know, you talked about your your neurodivergence kind of helping with that because you can look at things objectively and in a scientific way, but you're also open to and experience things that we can't explain at least right now. I think someday we will because it's there, you know, we we can we will be able to explain it someday. But you just have this great blend, this this beautiful blend of science and uh, you know, um the ethereal and you know, um paranormal, I will call it your supernatural, of things that are, you know, again are just are a little bit more intuitive, and and I love that about you. It's really uh interesting.
SPEAKER_01So it has a problem, a big one. It's it's a diabolical separation to say that can either be A or B. No, that is just in most cases, that's wrong. In most cases in life, A and B coexist together. So I am both here in the physical, but I also have a non-physical aura. Okay, so both is true, it's not just A or B. And that's typical diabolical separation, and they want to keep us there, they want to keep us thinking there is this group is only bad, and this group is only good. That's not how it is. If you if you have a group of people, it doesn't matter which one, there will always be good and bad individuals in there and good and bad deeds, but it's always about the percentage, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. Well, Tanya, uh, we're getting close to an hour. I thank you so much for sharing uh all of this about yourself.
