§564

‘I had taken a few grams of magic mushrooms shortly before and was beginning to feel a bit energetic and loosened up mentally. But I was far from ‘tripping’ at that point. I had gone into my back garden, admittedly to see if any UFOs showed up. My backyard is very small and enclosed, and there was no breeze. It was evening, but with outdoor lighting so fair visibility. I was sitting about two metres from a raised plant bed against the fence. I noticed the purposeful movement of what seemed to be a small animal (four to six inches) emerging at a moderate pace from the undergrowth to the front of the bed. As I moved closer, keeping my eyes on it, I saw that the animal was actually a young plant, which by that point had stopped moving. When I got to where my face was a few inches away, I found myself frozen in what I can only describe as a trance, for perhaps one to two minutes. The space I was staring into took on an odd, unnaturally angular appearance during this episode. The plant continued to grow through the summer and never walked again to my knowledge.’ ‘A small walking plant.’ ‘I am certain I was not high enough to hallucinate this, and never had a hallucination like this before or since on mushrooms.’ Fairies? ‘Not sure. Maybe manifestations of something that exist just outside of our reality.’ ‘This occurred during a period of a couple of months where several of my family members had anomalous experiences’.
