Time: Early morning.
Hi, my girlfriend and I are having a weird experience. We live on Bowen Island, BC Canada. Thought I would send you an email since I saw someone else's post about seeing a flashing light in North Vancouver earlier that evening.
Early this morning March 12 2012, my girlfriend and I were both woken by what seemed to be power flickering on/off in our house.
This is not totally uncommon on Bowen Island as we get some strong winter wind storms and it is very forested. Power outages are quite common in the winter months, but what happened next is something neither of us can explain.
The exact sequence of what happened is a little unclear, but I will just share what we both experienced in about a 30 minute series of events.
We saw 2 flashes of light, light up our house, about 5 minutes apart. We have both experienced lightning many times of course, but this felt different. It was way brighter and more like a fluorescent type of light.
The first one was not followed by any sounds of thunder at all.
Just a very bright, thick flash of light. The second one seemed to have some very distant sound after it. We also saw lights shining up through our windows and travel across our ceiling over our bed. Triangular shaped.
They sort of seemed like they could have been car headlights, but we live on the top of a hill in a very forested lot and there were no cars coming up the driveway.
We actually got up to the window to look out and see if there was a car, but there wasn't. We had not experienced light like this travelling across our ceiling before. These lights also happened twice. Then the weirdest thing happened. We both heard a woman's voice inside our house.
Clear as day. It sounded like a recording. Sort of digital. The words were hard to make out, some were illegible, but there were some words that were very clear. We had just moved into a new place, so we thought maybe it was the fancy new fridge or stove talking to us, but the power had been out for quite awhile before then. But here is where it gets really weird.
My girlfriend went to visit a few of her friends tonight and just through conversation, mentioned what we had seen and experienced earlier this morning, because it had been kind of strange and felt weird. This is where it gets strange. A friend of ours who lives about a block or 2 away, down the hill experienced the exact same thing!
She couldn't believe it when my girlfriend brought it up. She heard the woman's voice inside her house too, and also saw lights travelling across her ceiling. We are not next door neighbours, but live about a 5 minute walk from each other.
