Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year, it's just not widely reported

Mysterious disappearances aren’t new....Yet, as bizarre as these cases may be, there seems to be an even stranger type of disappearance out there; people who vanish in full view of others, under circumstances where it seems impossible that they could have even gone far, let alone totally disappeared. These are the cases in which people were there one moment and gone the next, seeming to have just literally faded from existence, leaving us baffled and perhaps even questioning what we think we know about this mysterious world of ours. Let's take a look at the history of some of the more curious accounts of these spontaneous vanishings of people who by all indications seemed to have just ceased to exist.
...
Sometimes, not only did the person disappear, but they did so right before the eyes of witnesses, literally fading away in plain sight... In 1815, at a Prussian prison at Weichselmunde, a prisoner by the name of Diderici was doing a 10-year sentence for assuming the identity of his dead employer by dressing up in his clothes and a wig and trying to withdraw a large amount of money after the man had died of a stroke. Allegedly, one day Diderici was being led through the exercise yard in chains in a line of other prisoners, when something very odd began to happen. According to other prisoners, Diderici began to literally fade away, his body gradually becoming transparent and immaterial until finally his empty manacles and chains clattered to the ground as baffled prisoners and prison guards looked on. An inquiry into the case would turn up nearly 30 eyewitness accounts from both convicts and guards that reported the exact same thing; that Diderici had become slowly invisible until he was simply not there anymore.

This is not science. These reports cannot be verified and have no credibility.
Good people give off an aura maybe of a different kind.
Ever since I was a child I would see an aura emanating from a minister when he was preaching a sermon. It didn’t happen every single time but fairly often. I never mentioned it to anyone.
A few years ago a friend was talking about auras and I asked her what she meant. She explained it was Rays of light coming from a persons head and body. I said you mean like the Rays of light that come from. Minister when he is preaching.
She was stunned when I told her I saw them often but only in church. Since I found out what I was seeing, I have not seen one since!
I remember seeing that on Fact or Faked. I think they were able to debunk. Interesting, nevertheless!
Mine too! I also like when William Fortschen is on (book “One Second After”)
Paulides’ investigations are fascinating and chilling at the same time!
Then he set out to prove that precognition as I call it is possible. He predicted another disaster, a nasty terrorist event involving a railroad or the tube. But it had to be dragged out of him; he tried to worm his way out of it. Came across as a little strange.
You come across as normal. I know these things happen. I've had very few, and sometimes they are wrong or I misinterpret. I don't seek them.
It sounds the same like remote viewing only that seems to be self-induced so it smacks of the occult or venturing where one ought not to go. In your case it sounds spontaneous. No I don't have any idea why. There has to be a reason. I wouldn't worry about it I/you can use strange events or dreams to pray for the people in them.
Some people would say you are psychic. That is a possibility. Sometimes we're born with it or a familial spirit, not saying that's the case with you. There have been a lot of psychics on c2c. I think we must be wary of that and not listen to people who would encourage us to pursue it. The psychics on c2c hardly ever talk about God or Jesus.
If God wants you to know something, he allows it. I was reading some posts of FR one night, and started praying with all my heart that the terrorists in DC who were randomly shooting people that they would be caught. I heard an inaudible voice, "They will be caught in 2 days." I thought that's ridiculous, they didn't even have a good description or license number. Then I wondered if I ought to document it by posting something somewhere just in case it did happen. I decided that would be egoism/prideful and draw attention to myself. But two days later they were caught.
God seemed to use a Kentucky trucker mightily in that situation, and the media was reluctant to report on it but a few did.
This has reminded me of other experiences, pro and con, so unless it would help someone in need, I don't need them. In spite of it, I had several things after my son died, killed himself, where he would come to me. He came to other family members he loved, too. One half-cousin asked a psychic about him. The message that came through was shared but I told my children not to seek him out, just pray.
The cousin probably didn't know any better but the message she reported was that there is no hell, his wife had never loved him, she burned his clothes, and he didn't mean to kill himself. He was with my parents (could have been my father's second wife, the only one he had known in life, I don't know) in the afterlife. It almost makes me cry to remember this, I hope some of it is true. As for hell, we had talked about it, just because someone doesn't experience a hell after they have left this earth doesn't mean one doesn't exist.
I think he suffered hell on this earth in the months leading up to his death. The anxiety got so bad he couldn't eat, and he lost 50 pounds after his wife left him.
When I hear about people winning tens of millions in the lottery, I think, “God, what a headache!”. But I could handle a million :-)

Yup.
But like Frosty the Snowman — will return someday (as soon as there is a Republican in the White House.)
You brought tears to my eyes. There are so many stories of people still being here even though they’re not supposed to be. I recently lost my mother but I don’t think of her as gone gone....just moved to a better place.
Yes, I am normal I think, I sure didn’t ask for this. I might be a little psychic although I sure don’t mean to be.
About 10 years or more ago I was at my sister’s in Seattle and watching TV in the evening with my mother, waiting for sister to come home. Suddenly I thought - “I need to go pick up Jill at the bus stop”. There was no question about it...no “why am I doing this”....I just did it - auto pilot.
I drove to the dark parking lot and arrived just as she was getting off the bus and she looked at me in shock and said “what are you doing here?”
Unbeknownst to me - she had left her car at a different car park and then had mistakenly taken the wrong bus out of Seattle and wouldn’t have had a way to get to her car when she got off the bus. She also didn’t have a cell so she couldn’t call so she would have been stuck - a beautiful girl in a dark parking lot.
She hasn’t forgotten that but I just took it as a message from the angels. I am grateful to have been able to help.
Wow.
Something similar - not as dramatic - happened to me on the DC subway. I was on the platform waiting for the train, and happened to look over at a man very near me; I felt instinctively that he was up to no good. It was almost a physical sensation, like something was telling me to get away from him.
I started walking away, in the direction of the train that I knew was coming soon - trying to be very casual. As the train approached, I looked back and the man was right on me, so close as to touch me; and at that instant the train door opened and I stepped in. He didn’t, he just stayed on the platform staring at me as the door closed.
I have always been convinced that he was going to try and steal the backpack I had over my shoulder. I’m not a very suspicious person, and don’t often get ‘feelings’ like that; but it was powerful enough that I heeded it.

I like Rupert Sheldrake’s saying:
The plural of anecdote is data.
Someday, we’ll understand some of these things.

Very much like my experience. There was no external behaviors that gave them away as being dangerous in fact they looked like you could knock them over with a feather but these two were capable of raping and killing a young woman.
That's amazing that you followed up on the infused knowledge to go get your sister. A dark parking lot. Not for a woman alone to be.
I feel like my prayers were answered today although looks like I will be praying myself to get through this winter. Before the storm hit I called the city and asked what I was supposed to do about my car getting plowed in (last year took a good Samaritan 1/2 hour of heavy shovelling) after the city pickup with blade (changed to this system for side streets) left a huge berm around my car.
The lady at the city and listening to my situation of why I don't/can't park in my garage, said to pull up halfway out of the alley (the only alternative). I've been beseiged with this awful anxiety where I get so tired and weak, I got everything ready, put on these slipper-like ice tracks over my oldest boots they fit well over, grabbed my shovel (works better than a cane. stocl. with a walker harder to carry things, to get up and down steps and slopes) and went to see how bad it was out in the alley with my car.
I have an easement to get across the neighbor's property and the new ones are parked right where I need to drive my car. Today I see that they threw their 3+ car driveway a big dump of snow on their and my property so can't get down the easiest slope. I guess I'll have to tell them about the easement because no way if they put snow there can I get in and out, maybe can just tighter. I thought about getting an estimate for blacktop and grading to where a prior neighbor ruined my driveway excavating on his big garage, leaves a hump that damaged my exhaust system I had to pay to get fixed.
My car was covered with snow still so I thought I'd get in and see if the car would start and rhen clear just enough to see and try to get out of that tight place I will have to park and get the snow off where it would be the least problem for me and others later.
Just then down the alley came a couple and insisted that they help me. So I could just sit in the car while they cleared the snow off. I told them to use my plastic shovel, it's faster and doesn't hurt my old car so they did. And glad I didn't have to make a trip back in the house to get my big screwdriver which I did need to pry the door open after I unlocked it. I forgot I had put duct tape over the screwdriver so it wouldn't scratch when prying my door, sometimes hood and trunk.
I have a battey jump pack and to my horror I realized when my hood is heavy snow pack I can't get off or iced in, even if I can get it loose, it's too heavy to lift so cross that bridge if it comes to that.
Thank heaven my car started right away, they directed me how to turn so I won't hit the neighbor's car behind me and a limestone wall in front of me. So thankful because I can't rock the car there and as winter progresses the ice and snowpack could turn into a nightmare.
So I got into the icy rut tracks in the alley and got on out and back in front. Somebody looks like they cleared where the snowplow pushed the snow into the little walk I need up to the public sidewalk. So thankful for that and lucky I had my ice spikes because it's icy when I open my door where I always park.
The couple was visiting the man's dad, and said they saw how I had to get parked there (I parked too high on the slope the first time, was getting too close to a 45 degree angle and was afraid I was going to roll the car.
So the worry about that one thing, I am exhausted and been shaking lately. I feel like God sent that couple to help me today and the man last year. I used to be able to shovel a lot more than I can now. And I offered to pay them and they wouldn't hear of it.
I don't have a cell phone either, was thinking maybe I ought to at least buy a throwaway and keep it charged.
Just because I'm a person of faith doesn't mean i couldn't be your sister and something bad happen like being in a dark lonely place. Even though there are people maybe within earshot doesn't mean they will come to help.
And we can't say your sister wasn't thinking ahead to leave her car where she did and get a different bus.
I'm remembering a whole lot more where I was feeling panicky but still able to try to find help. I thank God for the people who have helped me along the way, up by Chicago, twice and thank God for them.
Just consider what happened to you a gift. In time you may be shown why that man that time, sounds like you didn't know him very well or wasn't family, etc. I wish I could have told all this more briefly, never known for being succinct.
Blessings to you, love your screen name, and happy Thanksgiving.
You too....I hope you are safe and a cell phone would be a good idea! Good luck!!!

Thank you! One day at a time.
I call those things a tear in the fabric of reality, but a hole in time is accurate, too.
“However, you’d think someone would get a photo...and they would leave footprints in the snow or dirt.”
Plenty. Google/Bing ‘bigfoot tracks’.
Of course, Jesus did too when he ascended into heaven...so make that three. As for actual humans, not divinity, only two...the ones I pointed out.
