The Home Environment
The narratives of most experiences seem to be within the home. Usually in the bedroom or sleeping areas for most individuals. It can also occur when hanging out in the yard, working in the basement or garage, or even in the living when watching your favorite game. So it can happen anywhere, so be mindful where an experience occurs.
The building in which these experiences are happening should be looked into. Not only to identify what type of living environments, but cataloged the make and associated history of the place.
Single Home
If you live in a single home, chances are your property has some personal privacy.
There are usually clear markers of where you property begins, from the fences around you home, back alley if any, and the driveway to the street. Telephone Polls, electrical lines, and street lamps should be apparent in most urban settings. In rural areas you may be a bit more isolated, as the property space can be quite larger. You neighbors are spaced enough apart that it may take a brief walk to see them, public utilities mentioned above may not be as apparent.
Most homes have a basic feature of a living room, kitchen, bath, and bedroom. Larger homes may extra rooms and closet spaces, a additional bathrooms, attic space, basement space, garage, carport, Utility Room, Porch, pool, jacuzzi, garden, and crawlspaces (lower or above). In addition it is important to note the entryways into the home, both doors and windows. Note type of windows and doors. What type of locking mechanisms or security devices are present as well.
Document if possible the moments before an events happens. If you heard, feel, see, smell any unusual things in other parts of the house. You can also note the direction a particular sound was coming from if you know it was from the outside. If you moved from you location and walked to another part of the house when the experience happened trace your route. Note if there is anything that is out of place. Try to be as aware of your surroundings as possible. Try to identify the following
Lighting
-Was it dark? Did your lights turn on? Was there another light source than in your home being used? What color was the light? What type of light was it (direct, clear, dim, fluorescent, etc.)
Noises
-Doors opening, footsteps on carpet/flooring, furniture moving, cupboards opening, refrigerator door opening, dryer opening, washing machine opening, electrical hums, creaks in the basement/attics, wall tapping, window tapping, pipes sighing, vents, chirps, whistles, beeps, whispering etc.
Smells
-Was there a lack of smell? Did something smell different from your usual household smell. Did the entities have a smell. Did lighting have a smell? Was there a perfume or certain fragrance in the air?
Time
-If you have a several clocks in your home try to condition yourself to always look at one when you pass by. Have one in sight of your sleeping area, kitchen, bathroom and living room. If not keep track of when you last remember you were okay and as soon as event has finished.
Temperature
-Was it cold, hot, musty, windy, sticky, humid? When an experience happens the temperature within a household can change. This can help identify the mechanism in which they are inducing an abduction or the type of environment they prefer to operate in.
Multistory Unit
As with the single dwelling unit pay attention to to your surrounding. A bigger house just means more places for things to occur. Second and Third story levels means that there is a longer distance from the entry ways on the main floor. Likewise incidents occurring on the upper levels of the household can verify something unusual is going if there are being standing outside the window of an upper level floor.
Guest Home
A guest home is usually a separate dwelling on the same property. The majority of the time it can be left empty, but it is frequently occupied by a tenant or guest. These people may have a clear view of the dwelling and can report any odd noises, light, and suspicious activity. Likewise, members of the household can be drawn to the area away from the main house as well and vice versa.
Duplex
A duplex is a single home that has an apartment attached to it usually. The main difference her is that you have the potential for objective witnesses. Unlike neighbors, these people live right next to you and can verify experiences. They can usually comment on lights, noises, and suspicious movements or activity if seen. However they may also not notice anything at all.
Gated Community
Gated communities are often neighborhoods that are segregated from their urban/rural counterparts. They have monitored street entrances, usually fenced off, have check points, their own recreational areas, and parking spaces. Some places are very open, but they can also offer a facade of the woodlands too with twilight pathways and heavy ambiance. The main sticking point here is security monitoring and 24 staff that may be witnesses.
Apartment Buildings
These dwelling are often multifamily units on a single level or a multistory complex. These neighbors again live in close quarters with you. They should be able to report hearing any odd noises, sights, or suspicious activity. They too might be the subject or their own sets of experiences since they live a convenient location.
Condos
Like apartment buildings, Condos are multifamily units. They can either be a gated community, single close placed dwelling units, are a multistory unit. With condos their is often higher security than that of an apartment building. There is usually a security guard, maintenance working, or some type of staff available 24-hours. In addition security systems that either monitor the property visually or set off a motion sensor will be standard. Neighbors can attest to strange occurrences, likewise it should be easier to identify security details, power outages, etc. by asking the management company to review any footage. When conducting such research note power failures, security downtime, equipment failure, abnormalities in any records.
Cabin
The cabin is usually found in populated rural areas or isolated properties. They are usually made of natural material such as wood, and keep traditional modern convenience to a minimum. Usually you can identify a central location where the power and telephone service comes in. Sewage can be handled by traditional plumbing, but sometimes an outside tank is used. Cabins can range from single story to multistory units, and some can come with all the conveniences you can get. Because it is in a rural environment, there may be less witnesses around. Local wildlife may be mistaken for many things. Usually cabin are vulnerable, since they have few links to the outside grid. Isolation is the key aspect. Take note of things as you enter and leave your cabin. Check for any signs of intrusion always. If you have security cams installed or remote cams, view them occasionally.
Hotel
Hotels are like apartment buildings. There are other guests usually within the adjoining rooms. Hotels are active 24 hours, with cleaning services, staff, and security making sure that the area if functioning properly. Security is a high measure, as there are locked door and clear hallways. Rooms may night always be occupied, but people come and go so your never really alone. Hotels have security and objective witnesses from the staff. Also guests who are usually awakened in the middle of the night may have called down an complained off an odd noise or light.
Motels
Like hotels, but usually self service and little security. Motels are often found in areas by a highway or freeway. There is usually two people on staff, one to check guests in and out and another as back up. Depending on popularity of a motel, it can be a very active place or very desolate. Usually there is sufficient lighting so you can see silhouettes, and you can usually here people walking pass your room. Like before you may have a good witness by the desk clerk who may have noticed something strange.
Hospitals
Events can also happen in a hospital environment. Like apartment buildings, condos, and hotels, they place usually have good security and 24 hour staff. You have professional personal available and individual patient monitoring. Depending on the activity of the hospital, it can be crowded or desolate. Some old hospital are grand estates, with many floors and wings seeing little usage. What is worse is that there are many service corridors and entrances.
Trailer/RV Parks
Trailer/RV Parks can be a temporary or permanent set up. Either way they designed to host mobile homes. A mobile home is either a motor vehicle like an RV or a trailer hitched to another vehicle. The mobile home usually has space for a small kitchen, bedroom, and bath. The entry ways are not as secure as a home, usually made of the same material as the vehicle or trailer itself. Plumbing/Gas/Electricity is usually dependent on an outside source, or in the case of a RV on the life of the vehicle battery. Trailer parks have stigma about them, but it all depends. You have some trailer parks that are nice gated communities, then you some really trashy ones. Either way there are enough individuals living closer together, so someone is bound to notice something.
Moving Vehicle
It does happens, but an event can occurring in a moving vehicle. A plane, train, ship, or car, or bus. Automobiles often report an incident happening. Usually some sign of car failure occurs and will often be directed to an isolated spot. In most cases, the vehicle is bought to a safe rest in which occupants are lead out of the car and back to resume their journey. Larger vehicles such as buses, trains, ships, and planes are a bit more complex. Not only do you have to deal with a moving vehicle, but multiple eyewitnesses. Small craft again can be stopped, but larger craft main call for other means of observation. For example, in a plane or a train have you noticed newer passengers to stranger people on board? When exiting these large vehicles is it hard to remember who these individuals were? As with everything else, note the people around you, what they were doing, location, time, etc.
Tents
This dwelling offer very basic protection from the elements. These are usually made of thin material, waterproof, and have little in the sense of a security. You either have a flap or a zippered entry way. If an event occurs note the type of tent you were in. Individuals around you, the campground, zippered or flap entry system, mesh windows, was the tent still on the ground, silhouettes from outside lighting, and if the local wildlife went quiet. Also be aware if you were in a clearing or under tree branches.
Remember to also follow you camping etiquette too, your in the wild so you don;t want to mistake local wildlife for something else.
Urban/Rural/Population Density
These experiences can occur anywhere. Isolated locals are not always hotspots. They are ideal, since there are less potential witnesses, and the level of covert activity it low, but not necessarily the norm. In urban areas, or densely populated places we often ignore what is going on around us. We literally tune out and focus on ourselves and the very immediate surroundings. We will often ignore disturbances with the neighbors, air and ground traffic occurrences, and utility anomalies as just things you have to live with in the city. Even in places like casinos, hotels, and hospitals that share very tight spaces things can happen without our notice because we don't expect anything out of the ordinary to occur. When things do happen, our mind tends to adjust our perception of the events as something normal and tangible. The bright light outside the house, must of been the police or utility truck. The beings walking down the hallway at 1am in a hospital, nurse probably during there rounds, etc.
These experience will happen where ever and whether or not people are present. Is it because we are conditioned to ignore things or are they suppressing and furthering blurring our means of observation?
