Like when I was in Hawaii if you stayed up and waited for the sun to set there was a green flash. And I have heard of it from friends.

The green flash is caused by diffraction by the atmosphere, or scattering of light at high angles (compared to the horizon).  Green happens to be very visible to our eyes, so we see it and not the other colors (this is also due to the short period of time in which this occurs).\n\nThe reason you see it in Hawaii is because you have to have an infinite horizon with no obstructions.  People see it in California all the time.

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked at a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nOne time on a camping trip, we created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nOne time, while engaging in on-line activities, a witch and I played a game of "where am I touching you" and we were able to correctly identify where and how the other person was touching from thousands of miles apart over IM\n\nFor a while, a friend and I maintained a karmic connection, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"\n\nOften times when I'm driving, I'll see someone walking who doesn't look as several cars go past, and I'll look at the person, and they'll turn to look as I approach. Whereas people with the person (the ones I wasn't looking at) don't turn.

I did.  You had to go out after 3 AM, because otherwise the point at which the meteors were coming in from wasn't up yet.\n\nI saw probably 10 or 12 really good ones even though I live in the outskirts of a city.

The short answer is: Yes.\n\nI think the previous people who attempted to answer this question did not read it carefully. \n\nThe atmosphere is in layers, of different densities, that refract the sunlight and different colors different amounts. The light is bent downwards because the speed of light in the upper layers is greater than the speed of light in the layers closer to the ground. One can see this effect in the change in shape of the sun as it sets, and the effects like disconnected pieces of sun, green flashes,etc. This is just the same as the effect that creates mirages, or the spurious images of water on or above dry roads in the heat. \n\nSo it is definitely true, that the sun has already gone below the horizon, when we still view its image.

I've heard that the sky turns a type of dirty greenish greyish colour before a severe hailstorm, or a tornado.  But I'd like to think that the sky would do that because of the types of clouds, and the absorption and reflection of light.  I've never seen it myself to say for sure. \n\nI've also been told that there are green flashes that apprear on the sea (but the sea level has to be right) around sunset.  I've never seen one of those either. Apparently, it's one of those must-see things.\n\nAnd then again, another place where greens exist is in the northern lights (Aurora Borealis)...  There are greens and they're gorgeous.  Now I've witnessed that, and it's simply GORGEOUS!!\n\nlike you said, there's always the good old rainbow!  I've seen that too :p\n\ncheers!!

Yes, I was living in a two-story house in WV. I was sleeping in the attic after some reading and something went by the light that startled me I said who's there no one answered. I notice my closet door quack open a little so I looked inside and saw two red glowing eyes looking right at me, so I close the closet door and went to my dad and we went back to my room and he open the closet door anw and shined a flashlight at that spot and that red glowing eyes vanish until he turned off the flashlight and it was back again.We went donwstairs and we looked at each other thinking we were crazy.Another was me and my mother was in the kitchen ,she was writing letters and I was washing dishes and we heard something strange sound coming from the wall next to the stove and followed the sound to only hearing breathing and seeing the wall in and out as if someone or something was presant. I got out of there. The every last time I was in the kitchen and mom and dad was in the livingroom watching tv and the wall started up and this time my dad came into the kitchen and this time the wall breath to "GET OUT" 3x's like that, the hairs all over stood on end I shaken all over and could't stay anymore in that house. Moved away to new location felt better and one New Year Eve I went with a friend to the store and I decided to see if that house was still there as I looked up this thing was greyish/white all over and the same red glowing eyes looking at me, I shaked again and my friend came out and came over were I was looking at this thing and it scared her too.I didn't believe in stuff like this now that has change.

Not always, but when it gets that weird bright puke pea green and so still and silent I have witnessed a tornado everytime.

Well, in our case it does. Our town was very much excited when a total solar eclipse more than ten years ago, specifically October 25, 1995. I was a child back then but the hype turned me on and in fact, it was a wonder seeing the moon cover the sun from a colored film strip. It was only worth for a couple of minutes but it was awesome! I could also see that the sky became darker a bit. Much like a once in a lifetime affair.

humans are naturally light-loving creatures. I forget the scientific name, but it's true. you might notice the same attitude if it is cloudy or raining. I forget what the disorder is called, but my mom has the same thing. some of us are more sensetive to the seasons than others in the fact that we can react more dramatically when the sun goes down or is not present. I would recommend turning all the lights on and curling up w/ a good book so you can forget that it is dark outside. put a poster or picture in your room that is of a sunny beach filled with palm trees. Brighten up your surroundings. Today it is cloudy and I was feeling kinda low, so I went and tanned for a few minutes and I feel ten times better. Its all about changing your surroundings to compensate for your grumpies. good luck!

Oh yeah! but i haven't told anyone yet... but since your a believer too. This spring i was walking in the woods of the mountains of north carolina, when i came across this clearing, i was getting a little tired of all of the strain so i walked in, it was beautiful, with this goregeously clear blue sky and crystal clear lake and this really lush clover patch! I suddenly felt very drowsy so i decided to curl up in the sun, the sweet noxious smell of clovers overwhelming me, i could faintly here the King melodiously humming some tune that sounded vaguely familiar and a monstrous roar, i must have dozed off because it was a little dark. Horrified i sat straight up and bumped my head on the warm furry human shaped thing that had been keeping me warm enough not to notice the temperature drop. When I opened my eyes to see the noise i saw a vague outline of Nessy! She was roaring at Elvis! In disbelief i whirled around to run and bumped into the great Big Foot!!! He calmly explained that Elvis had recently found a radio station on this radio the last traveler dropped and now he was hooked on the BACKSTREET BOYS!!!! I then proceeded to break down and cry...

I love thunderstorms. I just like witnessing the awesome power of nature come rolling over the treetops. It usually also starts to cool down when one is approaching.
