Temporal Novice
In the summer of 2003 when I was fourteen I frequented a chat site, going between the teen chat and the religious chat. One day I encountered someone; their username was TheBat, who claimed they had met me in 2005. I was very puzzled by this private message for obvious reasons, seeing as how 2005 was two years away. I asked them if they meant another year and they insisted that no, they had met me in 2005 and they were contacting me from the future. They said that they were a time traveler.
I think I reacted how most people would and laughed this off. I remember saying something smart ass like “oh reallyâ€.
They replied calmly to me, yes, that they had in fact met me in the future and that they had something they felt compelled to tell me. They told me I should spend more time with my aunt that times would come when she wouldn’t be around much and then eventually she’d never be around. They told me my grandmother would be okay and that someone’s deep affection and love for me would help me through tough times.
Nothing about what they told me made me think they were from the future, someone could easily guess I had an aunt and grandmother and that I was not close with my aunt because of all the disgruntled post I made about family, but I was intrigued that they had specifically mentioned my aunt (because I never mentioned specifics about my family, only that we had conflicts). Their other comment about someone loving me wasn’t exactly written like that but it was just as vague.
I asked them to tell me something they knew about me that would guarantee they knew me from the future.
Their response was a little odd to me at the time; they said high school wasn’t my favorite thing, but history class was my favorite and that we would joke about suicidal Japanese school girls.
After this they stopped replying to me. I looked for them in the chat rooms, but I didn’t come across them again. A short time later both my sister and I got strange e-mails from an address I can’t recall saying something like “I hope you are getting closer as I suggested.†When I found out the message had been sent to my sister as well and addressed to my screen name I replied to the message, but never received a reply back. For a time I was really freaked out because I didn’t know how they got my sister’s e-mail address until one day I realized I had it listed on a mini bio on the site. I had a good laugh and figured the mystery was over. Some weirdo was just trying to have fun with me. I moved on. I was still a little puzzled; I couldn’t get what this random person’s motive was. Why screw with me and then just disappear?
2005 came and I never encountered this person, far as I know- not in person or online. In fact in 2004 I went to live with someone after my mother had a mental break down and the person I lived with did not have a computer. I only went online at the library or at school.
It wasn’t until late 2005 that the things this person alluded to in our chat started to happen. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, but after a short fight (probably due to catching it early) she lived and came out of the situation quite well. I had been in home schooling but decided to start high school and as they stated I wasn’t that fond of it but I made friends quickly and my history teachers each year were really great. History became my favorite subject.
In 2006 shortly after my aunt who had always lived near by had moved very far away, she died suddenly one night in her sleep. This saddened me greatly and I had so much other bad things going on in my life that this truly devastated me. Thankfully though, as the person had stated I had met some one and fallen pretty hard for them and they for me. This person helped me through this time immensely.
Then the strangest part of my story came near the end of 2006. My friends insisted that I had to see an independent Japanese film called “Suicide Circleâ€; they said it was definitely something I would like because I was becoming fond of Japanese cinema. I saw the movie and after words I was truly shaken. In the film Japanese school girls, among other characters, kill themselves in several scenes. There is also a girl who looks into this mysterious mass suicide wave online who calls herself “The Batâ€.
Since seeing the film I have been obsessed with my encounter with TheBat, but too ashamed to tell anyone I know about it. My mother is not mentally stable and I fear they’d assume I am crazy as well, who knows—perhaps I am? I just can not get over this incident. I have a lot of un-answered questions and I was wondering if anyone here could give me tips on how to investigate this matter. Also while doing my own research I came across this places involvement with John Titor and I wondered if there is some sort of list out there of people who have credibly claimed to be Time Travelers who have not been debunked.
I really want to contact TheBat, but I have little to go on. At the time I went on several chat sites and message boards. I have ruled out a few, but I can not remember which site I met TheBat on. All the other chat rooms I went to I can barely recall other than AOL, though I do not have an AOL account anymore so I can not check to see if they allowed mini bios like the one I had on the chat site when I frequented in 2003. That would certainly help me narrow it down.
I still debate on if what TheBat told me and what came to pass after that was pure coincidence or proof that I encountered a Time Traveler. Even more so I can not imagine why TheBat would go through so much trouble to physically Time Travel to 2003 just to tell me those things, unless we had a very close relationship in the future that never took place. Or perhaps like I have seen some people claim there are Time Travelers who have devices that can easily communicate with the internet existing in the future and the internet that exist today.
When I think hard about it some things do not add up to me. Firstly, if TheBat wanted to convince me to listen to them why not just say hey “(insert my real name here) I know you in the future!†Surely if we were close enough for them to contact me in the first place would they not know my first name at least? Secondly, I looked up the movie “Suicide Club†and it was completed in 2002, so TheBat could have seen it and chosen their name and school girl reference with out being a time traveler but how in the world could they guess I would see this film? Also if they met me online in the future how would they know about my username on that site if it was my AOL account, if they met me in 2005 after I no longer had an AOL account and went on the internet rarely. I don’t see why I would mention to anyone in 2005 a username I had in 2003, in fact I was embarrassed by the username because when I registered it I spelled it Deseatful Eyes instead of Deceitful Eyes and felt pretty stupid, so I can’t think of how or why they would know that old screen name and find me in a chat room using it.
What do you think? Can you steer me in a good direction? Think I’m crazy? Think somebody duped me well?
Has anyone had a similar experience?
