Hello, I am Robert G. Male.
Welcome to WraithStop. Here you will find links that I think are of interest.
Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of
inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order
in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require
you to sign up for free. Without further ado, the links...

3) Hypnagogia via Wikipedia
also Hypnopompic via Wikipedia
- Hypnagogia generally refers to the time falling asleep and hypnopompia as waking from
sleep. Beyond that though, and of interest, it is about the ability of dreaming during these times, not just dreaming but
doing it with an awareness of the waking world. In other words, dreaming with your eyes open. Hypnagogia involves full on
visual and auditory, for lack of a better term, hallucinations, because the brain is dreaming. It can be a debunkers reasoning
for the dismissal of visions, shadow people, and even alien abductions. Throw in some sleep paralysis and hypnopompia is the
explanation of Old Hag syndrome. Two interesting facets of the hypnagogia article are the neuroscience of sleep, and the
connection between the hypnagogic state and the inspiration of inventors, authors and song writers.

2) Pareidolia via Wikipedia
also Apophenia via Wikipedia
- Pareidolia is a visual or auditory form of Apophenia, that ties in with some of the
theories of encounters with Shadow People. In and of itself it is good fodder for a number of ideas. It's very primitive, and
instinctual, part of the process that the brain requires to detect threats. The interaction between that guttural draw of
attention and the psychological predilection to believe it over other harder evidence could play into several
conflicts of the
three (argumentaively four) types. Apophenia would seem to be essentially a false sense of synchronicity beyond the essential
base description of seeing patterns where there are none.

1) Shadow People
also Shadow People including spooky photos
also Shadow people via Wikipedia
- The first article contains some interesting bits that are not seen elsewhere. First a
qualifier/caveat, this article also mixes things together by not properly separating theories. People have made connection between these
shadowy figures and thought forms/egregore/tulpas. A particularly interesting theory includes alien thought forms. The best part,
and its very brief but very evocative, is that some of these entities may be drawn to ghosts. Note also a bit about shadow people
acting as harbingers/warnings in a way they tie to Mothman. The Wikipedia article in the "Scientific explanations" section contains
a look at drugs and chemicals that induce hallucinations. There it also gets into
Hypnagogia. {Ref#5 - Others}
