Right everyone, this topic is not about the psychological condition of my friend. I’m not asking for advice on how to stabilise her. I only wish to discuss what ‘this thing’ could possibly be. As far as I’m concerned, she’s telling the absolute truth. In other words: don't post here just to say she's a loony.
Hey mastag83, that was actually an some interesting stuff you posted.
I don’t think she’s scared of dark forces coming after her though. She has ‘seen things’ which frightened her, and living with this knowledge which changes her outlook on life is like torment. She is more worried about that guy who’s obsessed, because he may end up like the others who tried to look for it. He’s the one that knows all about it, and it has apparently changed his character a lot.
This gateway to hell stuff is rather interesting. I think Silent Hill had something to do with that too. Another thing is, SEF found this site:
http://rhaeticuspress.tripod.com/thebookofsamael/
‘The Book of Samael.’ Not sure if it’s the same one she mentioned, but it somewhat links to The Gateway to Hell thing. Still, it's an interesting read. It's supposedly a book written by Samael himself.
If she meant Samael, rather than Samiel, when she told me the title, then I'm starting to look in the direction that this is all about Hell and such. However, she said to me that she doesn't believe in Heaven or Hell, but 'something else.' Which really confuses me.
I'm going to read James Herbert's The Dark and see if this makes anymore sense.
-Silent Hill
-The Dark
-Samael/Samiel
Try to find some sort of connection between these 3, and maybe we can piece this together.
Hellraiser has told to me that 'Samael' was referred to in Silent Hill. Interesting.
I might phone her tonight and see if I can get more clues. I'm seeing her on Monday so then I'm going to interrogate her and I will have more information for you.
