During my times visiting Brazil I stayed in a single story farmhouse in a high cliff lined valley close to Alto Paraiso. The white cliff lining the valley was 200 to 300 feet high, vertical and spectacular. At one point a few miles from the farmhouse there was a waterfall cascading off the top.
One day when we were in Alto Paraiso shopping we met up with and had a good lunch with friends. From what I can remember we all got on really well and we all talked a lot with each other during the lunch. There were 5 of us, myself, Cris, Cris’s mother and two friends of theirs. Afterwards Cris asked if I would like to go to the place above the valley where the waterfall originated. Basically we’d drive park and walk to where the waterfall fell over the cliff edge and take in the view from the top.
As a result all five of us set off left together in a car to do this.
It probably took about an hour and a half to drive in a half circle to reach the parking area closest to the large stream that on dropping over the edge becomes a waterfall.
Very Weird Vibes, Muted Atmosphere Develops while Driving to Where the Giant Bat Found . . .
Now, the first very noticeable strange thing was that for absolutely no reason at all we all stopped talking to each other probably after 20 minutes or so in the car. Everyone went silent, shifted to be in their own space. Even more strange time seemed to drag on.
I’m including this in this ‘weird atmosphere’ series because the atmosphere AROUND US AS A GROUP was exactly the same as I’ve felt when with a group of people when the EXTERNAL environment is presenting one of those spooky, silent, surreal atmospheres.
The atmosphere in the car and between ourselves FELT exactly the same except it was minus the visible external atmospheric atmosphere. Which isn’t surprising as it was a brilliant blue sky day and very warm.
Also, here I am spending time in a very interesting, very different ‘foreign’ country AND I’m going to visit somewhere new that ‘should’ be spectacular. I should at the very least be anticipating and feel moderately excited. So, how myself and everyone else became in the car in ‘mood’ and atmosphere terms was very, very odd, and particularly as there wasn’t any reason for this to happen (no arguments or upsets, nothing abnormal happened before or during the drive).
We eventually turn off the main road and start driving along dirt tracks to reach the parking place closest to the top of the cliff by the waterfall. It turns out that this parking place is next to a small wood which is to the right of the stream. This is where it gets even more bizarre. Everyone’s mood has changed so much that you can feel that no one wants to even get out of the car. However, as we have arrived at the place we wanted to be then we all get out . . . except we really don’t . . . we just mooch around by the wide shallow stream next to the wood, we can see cliffs sticking up to the left and right of where the stream disappears off the top of the cliff. It’s very obvious that no one ‘really’ wants to be here.
We all just very oddly hanging around the stream running next to the wood. As, I’m normally the adventurous type then it was seriously odd that I wasn’t immediately heading along the side of the stream and looking over the cliff edge 2 minutes later. The cliff would have been at most 200 meters from where we parked the car – that’s how close it was.
At the Canyon Cliff Top Area Everyone is also VERY ODD, no one talks or even says ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE BAT
So my behaviour was VERY odd, AND so was everyone else’s . . . .
Eventually some of us have wandered close to where the stream leaves the end of the wood and heads off over open ground probably for about 150 meters before dropping off the top of the cliff edge. This is where it gets very interesting, because now that the end of the wood is to the right and level with us we can see that to the right of where stream cascades off the top of the cliff there are cliff buttresses ABOVE the top of the cliff.
This is when I first notice that there is something very strange on the side of one of these buttresses.
Below is a picture I made up just to give you the general idea that ‘represents’ the location, visibility and size (I’d estimate 5 to 6 feet in height) of the giant bat pretty well.

What I see ‘clinging’ on the left side of one of the buttresses looks about the same as a one man sized very taught coffin tent in jet black. It’s on the vertical face and it’s literally 6 feet tall. There is no way it can ‘actually’ be a one person tent although it’s general shape suggests a tent. The ‘weird’ black thing is also very likely above a 200 to 300 foot drop and it would be dangerous to climb down to or around to as it’s on the side of an overhanging cliff outcrop.
What is also very odd, is that despite their being a slight breeze the ‘material’ doesn’t move or ripple, it’s solid. My first inclination is that someone might have some ‘research’ equipment that they’ve pegged into the cliff face with a protecting black tent cover BUT this absolutely doesn’t seem likely AND this is a seriously remote spot. We’ve not seen anyone for miles.
It gradually dawns on me that this is VERY LIKELY TO BE . . . .
a GIANT BAT . . . .
I glance around at the others and over the next few minutes I notice that Cris and Cris’s mother at least are giving the possible GIANT BAT sideways glances. They too know of the ‘Giant Bat’ . . . even more amazing is that NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING . . . including me . . . we all seem to be in our own personal bubble of isolation.
A Cryptid Giant Bat Found in Brazil at the top of a 300 foot Canyon Cliff Face Is Completely Ignored by 4 People
I’m actually seriously trying to figure out how feasible it would be to walk over and have a much closer look at it. However this thought turns out to be terrifying because if this ‘IS’ a GIANT BAT then it’s going to have a wingspan maybe of 20 to 25 five feet. If it wakes up could I run fast enough to reach the small wood where it wouldn’t be able to fly before it caught up with me . . . I don’t know!!!

On the left is a bat hanging from a rock face overhang. Bats are generally dark and their profile from the side would be very much like what I saw clinging to the top of the cliff face. On the right is a picture of another bat completely clinging to the vertical wall in exactly the same way as the giant bat I saw.
Interestingly either of these bats looked at from the side and particularly the one on the right would result in a profile seriously like the one I saw on the cliff.

Of course bats prefer to hang in caves in the dark.
Coincidentally visiting giant caves and having a guided tour of one cave network was one of the things I did when visiting Brazil.
Brazil has numerous and very large cave networks. The one I visited the guide took us to a 3 meter hole in the floor of one cave. We dropped a stone down it and never heard it hit bottom. It would be very possible to have giant bats living in one of these cave systems.
One of the other very bizarre things is that I never actually did an internet search of ‘giant bat’ after this sighting. Just like everyone else I’d have thought they’d be none. What is the biggest knows bat? How big do you think it will be? Have a guess . . .
It’s the a tie between a fruit bat with a wing span of 1.7 meters (read about here), and what is called the Giant golden-crowned flying fox which you can read of here.
Do Giant Bats Exist? Are there any ‘real’ giant bats in one of Brazil’s Giant Cave Systems?
However it turns out that there are quite a lot of sightings of bat creatures that are even larger. Java, has giant bat sightings (read this page here), and this page here describes various sightings in various places around the world as does this one here. Just look at the default reaction to someone being confronted with the possibility of there being a mere 5 foot wing span bat despite it being about a bat IN A ZOO as described here.
It is likely that bats like to sleep clinging to the top of a rock of cliff face or ceiling so that they don’t have to run to take off. In the case of this giant bat with a likely 20 foot plus wing span it’s in the perfect position to launch itself into the air with a 200 foot drop space to glide away from.
Our behaviour by the stream was completely ridiculous . . . under normal circumstances ‘IF’ one of us had seen say a hang glider here we’d have pointed it out and shouted to the others to look. Perhaps the giant bat is telepathic or it is otherwise endowed with magical powers to suppress anyone seeing it from even pointing it out never mind of talking about it!!!
Eventually probable about 20 minutes after arriving, someone mentions leaving AND we all slowly wander back to the car and leave . . . NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING about the GIANT BAT . . . NOTHING is EVER said about it . . .
So, we drive for an hour and a half specifically to walk a very short distance to the top of a cliff to see the view of the valley, take some photographs and watch the waterfall cascading down. We arrive there and despite no one being able to see the GIANT BAT from where we parked no one heads off to DO WHAT WE CAME TO DO which coincidentally would have all of us directly seeing and commenting on the giant bat.
I left my camera in the car . . . which is verging on the impossible as for new places I’d always take it with me and take pictures . . . except apparently no one is allowed to take pictures or even acknowledge the existence of GIANT BATS or even remember that they left their camera in the car which was only a 30 second walk from where the GIANT BAT was visible.
Maybe Those Seeing Abnormal & or Giant Creatures are Managed and Manipulated to Keep these ‘OFF THE RADAR’
I’m now of the view that we are in a duplicated population simulation AND it’s trying to keep as many odd things as hidden as possible.
This is the only way to explain how we were all completely managed well before we arrived to completely change our mood, such that we’d not even venture past the edge of the wood when we arrived. If we had we’d not have been able to collectively ignore the GIANT BAT (despite that I’m sure that all of the others saw the bat because I saw most of them glancing every now and again specifically in it’s direction) and it’s likely that a few of us would have risked walking over to it for a closer look AND I’d also have taken photographs of it.
I should also point out that I was with my girlfriend at the cliff and we got married and despite that we have both had a lot of anomalous experiences of many different types (read the rest of this sites pages for mine) we also never talked about this bat encounter afterwards either . . . which has got to be verging on being pretty much impossible because my wife had a direct and extremely disturbing encounter with an ‘alien’ and was almost abducted AND she/we talked about this!!!!
As I describe on pages on this site here ‘IF’ we are in a simulation then we are actually entirely software generated copies of people living someone else’s life. As such pretty much everything of ourselves is pre-determined (as I describe in great detail here and in more details here). Under these circumstances the software in absolutely having to define our future interactions means that it would always be checking out future possibilities. In it doing this it would have quickly become aware very shortly after we made the decision to visit the waterfall that we’d not be able to miss seeing the giant bat.
Under these circumstances it couldn’t easily abort our decision (make us decide to not go) because everyone in our party was there on holiday. Visiting different and interesting places in the area was what we did, it was partially why we where there at Alto Paraiso. It is part of being there that you actually visit waterfalls specifically as they are pretty much everywhere. So, in not being able to stop us from visiting this specific place it decided to work on changing our mood and making everyone ‘not bothered’ and psychologically ISOLATED and MUTE.
Dare I suggest that having the giant bat being woken up to launch itself and fly off in broad daylight over the occupied/lived in valley below wouldn’t have been a good idea either.
Also, it was only in writing many of my other ‘weird’ experiences on this site that I eventually (after year) remembered the ‘giant bat’ sighting experience.
I couldn’t believe that I’d forgotten about it. In fact all of these weird atmosphere posts were seriously difficult to recall and even worse to actually write down. This is confirmed by those that have so far managed to leave comments below as they also gave details of feeling very odd and suppressed as they read this page and tried leaving a comment too . . .

As I read this page I can actually feel my solar plexus being depressed which is ‘muting’ my thinking and communicative response to the anomalies presented here almost as if I am in the same ‘pyschological’ state with the same weird atmosphere and ambience as mentioned here.
I then begin to feel a vague muting/ numbing pressure sensation in my forehead and third eye area as well as behind my head on the hard upper skull area – seems to be depressing thinking and cognitive functioning.
When I continue to tune in, I get the feeling that certain parts of my subtle real body are being depressed – where my senses and awareness originate that are produced in the physical body.
Overall I am very sensitive to minute changes in how my consciousness functions and I’d say that it is very nearly zero functioning in thinking terms and it’s even worse if I want to communicate or write anything about my response.
By and large, I’d say that in response to this page and pages like this you’re EITHER allowed to ‘take things in’ but NOT respond at all (and memory fade will be in overdrive as soon as you leave the page) OR you’re allowed to make a comment which will go off the mark very quickly.
I was also feeling very strongly diverted and compelled to write about the solar plexus and head sensations as related to interfacing of a subtle body to the physical body as written about HERE.
Basically, this would be to take me away from engaging with how I actually feel now as I am reading this and with the content of what is being written. All of this seems to be reflective of the fact that the software is attempting anything and everything to get me to refocus on something else and leave this page rather than focusing on the sensations I get that are blanking down my awareness.
I had a VERY hard time clicking any links that you gave on the page and the overwhelming feeling I had was one of being ‘sick’ of a ‘very dry’ uninteresting unimmersive topic that started EVEN BEFORE VISITING this page.
I had to force myself to read this page, to click on links and to rationally think out what all of this implied. The overall feeling and impression I had was a very unnatural sense that I could NOT relate to the author or the characters in the story even though I can think of several times when I spontaneously took trips with friends to see something ‘interesting’ AND where we ended up NOT doing what we had set out to do. Basically the way I am reacting and FEELING as I read this page is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to how I actually am. I am aware that I am not feeling, thinking, or acting as I am BUT am feeling compelled to think and act in the OPPOSITE ways.
I also feel sure I’ve experienced similar feelings of having been ‘re-directed’ when going as a group with others. I can feel these times ‘hidden’ in my memory, there are several occasions where I’d be travelling with others to take part in some activity and we were also strongly diverted off or made to be blank. I think this also seems to happen more often when I’ve been with people from very different cultures and been traveling in foreign places. At the moment I cannot remember any details. When I tune in I only get what I’d describe as a ‘memory fog’ around areas that I ‘know’ and which feel familiar BUT I can’t ‘remember’.
I often have this sensation in my life in general.
That the more important or significant something is for me to remember or the more I want to put something together from some aspect of my life the more it is surrounded by this same fog and ambience. So this shows me that reality itself must have a way of significantly or strongly depressing our memory and awareness at selective times based on specific interactions or situations.
If I close this page and leave this website and enough time passes I’m sure I’d be able to think about this ON MY OWN but the minute that I come back here and think about the story it’s one of ‘revulsion’ but combined with such a strong disinterest that it’s almost like the feeling you have of being ‘done with your taxes’. It’s something you just want to get through and be done with it.
All this is taking place and occurring inside of me despite the fact that I’ve been investigating reality for years and have a very broad, strong life and personality, defining interest in all of these areas.

While watching the Science Fiction series ‘Warehouse 13’, I noticed that I specifically missed a part in the show where there was something going on with subtle energies followed by an explosion.
When I tracked back to the exact point I had felt distracted, I began to get incredibly strong blanketing cognitive effects. The atmosphere and ambience changed and I began to feel uncomfortable and confused. After watching the clip of the part that I missed I noticed that I only remembered the ‘explosion’ that followed the weird subtle effects so it was as if my memory and experience was being ‘relayered’ like tracks in a musical composition as I was taking the information in.
So it seems it does not matter whether it’s a personal ‘real’ experience, that someone is telling you about, what you are reading, or whether the ‘odd’ ambience or event is happening in film you are watching, the effects are all the same and it is very easy to put you off and you have very little chance of remembering.
Basically you have to start by noticing that you’re being made NOT to notice something which is just about the most difficult thing in the universe to do. It’s only THEN that you’d even have a chance to begin to note down what you can’t take in and make your own experiments. So basically unless you are able to notice what you CAN’T notice and become sensitive to this – to sensitizing yourself to feel when you are being cognitively ‘depressed’ or distracted it seems very likely that you’ll miss out anything interesting and important, because that’s how reality seems to work–it does a consummate job at seamless cognitive management and integrated, interwoven behavioral responses to manage your reactions to experiences of all kinds.

Wow. I have found when trying to do research on paranormal things, I’d find a lot of things that would try to make me feel it was a farce or not real.
First I would find something that seemed legitimate and interesting. Then I’d start making it my decision to find more on it, to see if it is real.
And a lot of debunking things, or things that seemed ridiculous and implausible would start coming up all over the place and finding more things in support seemed to go away. Or something would steer me in another direction which would have me in an obsessive mode over something else and often losing what I was originally looking for.

Last night on closing my eyes before sleeping i had a clear image of a bat flying towards me, it has just struck me now that there is a page up here about a BAT experience….
i am going to re-read this post with interest 🙂
Thankyou
