Honestly thought I was losing the plot until I started cross-referencing my ghost hunting logs with NOAA's solar activity data and mate, the correlation is genuinely unsettling. 📡
Three separate occasions in the last two years where I've had chunks of time I can't account for, and every single one landed within 48 hours of an M-class flare or stronger. Once outside Greyfriars Kirkyard at 11pm, next thing it's 1:30am and my K2 meter is absolutely screaming - battery drained on kit that was fully charged an hour prior.
My working theory (and I know this sounds mental) is that solar electromagnetic interference acts like a door opener for whatever dimensional boundary normally keeps these encounters from happening casually. Mothman sightings, missing time, even some of the more credible abduction accounts seem to cluster around periods of high geomagnetic activity. Not a coincidence anymore, I've decided.
Shoutout to anyone using Space Weather Live - dead useful for retroactively checking what the sun was doing during your weird experiences.
The question nobody's asking properly though is whether we're being pulled somewhere, or something is using the energetic conditions to pull itself through to us. Two very different problems, frankly. 😬
Anyone else been logging this? Comparing notes would be brilliant - especially if you're in Scotland where the Kp index regularly hits daft levels during aurora season anyway.
