I haven't had much in the way of paranormal experiences, even though I have had an interest in it for most of my life. There are two experiences which stand out for me, and I can't reconcile them to anything normal. At two different times in my life, I watched "commercials" on TV which do not seem to have been part of the regular programming. They may have only played on my TV set, which was the same unit in both instances. The commercials may have even been intended for my eyes only, if someone else was watching with me then they may have not played.
First time it happened I was 5 years old, so around 1983. I was watching TV in the evening, don't remember what show was on. An image came on the TV of a little girl sitting in a window sill, looking out into the night sky. She was singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". As soon as she sang the line "how I wonder what you are", the image was suddenly flattened and I was filled with the knowledge that the girl and her house had suddenly been crushed by a giant meteorite. She had apparently invited the disaster by singing this song. The scene then suddenly changed to the kitchen of a typical greasy spoon diner. The voices of young men talking and laughing were heard, and a spatula flipped some burgers on a grill. I then noticed the burgers were a peculiar shade of green, even though all the other colors in the image were normal. Then, the same result as the first scene: the image was suddenly flattened and I knew that the diner had been crushed by a giant meteorite. I also had the knowledge that the green burgers were supposed to have been a clue that a meteorite was incoming.
Second time it happened was in 1989, I was 11 years old and was watching TV on a weekday afternoon. Another "commercial" started up, this time with "People are Strange" by The Doors playing (this was the first time in my life I ever heard this song). In this scene, people with green skin were shuffling around in a dazed or drugged state in a dimly lit room filed with tall gas cylinders like those which are used in welding. I had the distinct knowledge that their condition was caused by breathing gas from the cylinders, intentional or not I don't know. In one corner of the room, a man with gray skin was relaxing in a bath of black goo, once again I had the knowledge that his condition was caused by the goo he was bathing in. I ran into another room, genuinely unable to understand the weird programming that had suddenly came on. I decided not to tell my parents, I just knew that this would be beyond their comprehension.
I went back into the room and regular programs were running. A few days later, it happened again. I was watching TV by myself in the afternoon and the same commercial comes on. People are Strange starts playing, people who look sick or high are shuffling around, welding gas cylinders are on the floor. The scene was slightly different in this commercial. The room was well lighted this time, and the gas cylinders looked much newer than the shopworn ones in the previous commercial. The people had more of a pale, chalky appearance than green as before. This time, I suddenly decided I wasn't going to watch this weird program and I went to another room. Once again, regular programming returned and I never saw any more strange commercials.
I seriously have no clue as to what this is. All I can say is, they are 100% true experiences and I've never found any explanation for them. They were not dreams, I was most certainly awake at the time. Also, I was not at all into sci-fi or paranormal stuff at this time, and had considerably less exposure to it than the average person my age at the time. This forum is the first place I have ever shared this stuff. It's not a secret or anything, I just don't know of anyone outside of AE that I could share it with. Thanks for reading!
