Crop Circles Appear 10 Minutes from Home

On Friday July 11th, 2008,a friend called from her cell phone to tell me she had come across a crop circle near us. WOW! What a find! I immediately grabbed my camera and headed to the site. It was incredible indeed. When I got there only a few people had also discovered it. The energy within the circles was intense and it seemed to be swirling in motion as I walked the circles.

Crop Circle July 11, 2008 

First Hand Experience of a Crop Circle

Upon entering the crop circle for the first time, I immediately felt a swirling of energy. I felt calm and peaceful and quietly walked around each circle clockwise and into the centre.
I noticed others were quietly walking around also. Children who had run from their cars, once entering the circle became quiet and began to whisper as if in a library.
Even those in conversation about whether this was real or not were talking quietly.
What do I believe? Well I know what I felt and I can not deny that, is it man made or is it truly a paranormal picture? I believe each person needs to decide for themselves and each allows their own 'vision' to affect their perspective.
Regardless it was a wonderful opportunity to see it all firsthand.

Perfect Circles 

Second Visit

Sunday July 13, 2008

Another day, another story of my crop circle visit. This morning Carney, my Cairn Terrier and I went to visit the crop circles once again. I wanted to see the difference from the other day when hardly anyone knew about the circles to today when several had been to the site.
As I arrived there was only one other car and three women and a little boy were in one of the circles heading out. The woman and I chatted briefly and she told me her son wanted 'out of the field' his words. He was about 6 years old, I believe. He was ready to leave. I suggested to her that if he wanted to go out of the circles it was a good idea to listen to him and take him out. I suspect he was experiencing too much energy.
After they left I went into the circles by myself with my camera and took several more pictures, a couple with myself in them. I walked each circle clockwise as that is the direction of the swirls.
My pictures from Friday only encaptured 4 circles but in reality there are five.
I then took my camera back to the car and got Carney to see if she was interested in checking out the circles. Carney is a very 'spiritual pup' and often sees visitors when they are around me.
She went eagerly into the circle and walked quickly sniffing at specific spots in each circle. As soon as she had done that she wanted to go and was now panting as if it was really hot outside [which is wasn't at all]. And so we left.
I still felt an energy swirl in each of the circles but it was not as intense as the first day. If I had to describe it - I would say that on the first day the swirl was in motion and the energy was as alive, today the energy I felt was more like a memory left from the swirl.

No Holes in the Centre

or one hole in one centre??

Looking closely at each of the centres of the five circles I could see the swirl clearly and as I knelt down to get a really close look I knew there were no holes in any of them that I looked at. I had been told by others that often if a crop circle is a hoax you would find holes in the centre of the circle where something had been pushed into the dirt as an anchor for a tool of some sort.
However, when I returned the second day, one of the circles had a small hole which had obviously be done after the fact by someone who had visited the site or else I had missed it on my first visit.
I called my friends who had also visited the crop circle they said they had seen a hole in the centre of the 2nd circle.
Interesting for sure!

Stalks Bulging

I took some pictures of the stalks on the edge of the circle and some of those that had been bent over in the circle centres.
In each circle the wheat swirled in a clockwise direction and all stalks were bent but none were broken. When I knelt down to pick a single stalk up it was still firmly rooted and other than where it was bent over the stalk was still straight.
There seemed to be a bulge in the stalks and some were bent slightly after the node but not being a farmer, I have no idea if that is normal or not.

Seeing What We Think We See

As a channel myself, I have come to understand a lot more about vibrational energy and the shifting of consciousness. I believe each of us has our own perspective on what we 'think we see' in our illusions of reality and what is truly available for us to see if we can get past some limiting beliefs.
While at the crop circles my observation was that each person there would see what they allowed themselves to see. For some it was a cool and interesting picture of circles in the farmers field, for others an intriquing puzzle to try and solve, some could not believe any of it and tried to figure out what tools might have been used to create such exacting circles, while others 'felt' the energy - some described to me that the hair at the back of their neck stood up, while another said she felt a tingling in her legs, personally, I felt energy in motion and it was as if there was an aliveness of vibration which I could also see and visualize.
I am sure there will be much speculation, and that is all fine and good, regardless each person's perception is their own.
I am eager to learn more from those I channel and will continue to seek my truth about this experience I was given.

Crop Circles - Paranormal or Creative Humans

What are your thoughts...

Having had a first hand experience of being in a crop circle just a few days ago, I wonder about them and how they appear.

There seems to be so many sightings of crop circles these days it has peaked my interest. Are they made by UFO's, other worldly visitors or humans with a lot of creative energy

Paranormal

WordWhisperer says:

After feeling the energy I felt in the crop circle I visited this weekend, I believe there is something to it. I don't know how a creative human could create something so perfect and do it without being seen, especially since this one was so close to the road and appeared overnight when there was a storm.

Creative Humans

Wendi says:

Creative humans.
A thunderstorm is probably a perfect cover.

I have no clue!

 

So what do you think about crop circles?

    I just made a Lens inspired by recent crop circle and hummingbird connection.
    I did attempt to include your quality Lens in my discovery tool list but it kept giving me "not a valid lens message" ??!! http://www.squidoo.com/hummingbirdinengland

    Very nice photos and commentary. I've had one visit but it's not a repeated or common occurrence. ****

Hensall Crop Circle - 2003 

Hensall Crop Circle

A crop circle appeared in Hensall Ontario a few years ago. This one was about 25 minutes from my home. I visited it as well but not until after many people had been to the site. I found a picture on line which I have posted above and a few articles about that circle.
Matt Rock, of the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN), said he's been to five real crop circle formations and added the Hensall formation is genuine. "It's real. I don't think it's a hoax." To read more go to:
