Some notable rare things I've seen in person include:

A real $100,000 gold certificate, series of 1934.

A Zenith Stratosphere 1000Z console radio, also from 1934.

An experimental Western Electric 101A repeater tube from 1915. I have one, and have only seen one other like it so far.

I've also been around some scarce people. I've heard a couple of Holocaust survivors speak. Unfortunately they won't be around much longer.

My teenaged daughter got her first job and used some of the money from her first check to buy reading material...She's not even aspie.

Now that's rare. :D

Had to pat myself on the back for that one...must have done something right.

The rarest thing Ive proberly ever seen was I was in mall and I saw this guy, I couldnt stop staring because he was so tall. The more I looked the more I noticed how unbelievably tall he was.
I started talking to him and then I realised I was talking to a pediastrian crossing pole. Every one was staring at me. It was so embarrassing.
Drugs.. dont ever take them

The other most rariest thing I seen was when I was 15 and though I only vaguley remember > I was playing basket ball in an outside basketball court. I was having a wow of a time and talking to everyone.
Sadly, though as I was told a time after this by this guy that saw me in the street that saw me at that time I was playing Basketball, He goes, "Oh" with a big grin on his face, "Your that chick that was tripping out real bad" and I said what?... and finding out from him that there really was no else in the court and apparently I grabbed the ambulance driver officer on the ....
I remember being in hospital and trying to escape although at that time I didnt know it was a hospital. I remember them making me take all my clothes off looking for tracks and I remember trying to run out of the hospital with just a sheet wrapped around me.
I remember too, two security staff Men standing there so I wouldnt run off but I didnt realise this so when I accidently dropped the sheet around me, I said, "Do you wana come back to my place?"
Then I remember a nurse getting really mad and pushing me back down so I wouldnt run off. Finially they gave me an injection that calmed me down.
There is heaps more strange things Ive seen but I dont wana be a thread Killer.

..Perhaps the dead (stuffed) bird of paradise I have, which currently resides in my desk drawer. My dad gave it to me; apparently his friend from Thailand mailed it to him for no particular reason.

Ball Lightening.
Saw it many, many years ago while trying to spot the space shuttle in orbit one night.
Looked like a fireball thing, or like flaming debris but was only there for a couple seconds. Took me a couple years later before I found what it was.

Finding Shenmue [on the dreamcast] back when the dc was still on sale.
that was rare,same could go for panzer dragoon saga [saturn] and Okami [playstation 2 version].


most recently,the rarest thing would be a long haired white tomcat with a big belly who has one blue eye and one copper eye,on the blue eye side,he is deaf,and one the copper eye side,he has normal hearing.
he is always out at night,doing walk bys [like drive bys but just walking,and using claws instead of guns] on the local toms including gfb.
am have lived in several areas and do not see many white cats.

I caught a fleeting glimpse of a disappearing mountain lion on a late December night near my parents' house several years ago. Ran across the road in front of my truck a couple of hundred feet away. I think that's the rarest thing I've seen.

Ive seen lots of ghosts in town especially. Like this young boy sitting at the side of the road looking down and he wearing these really old style clothes like 'knicker boxers' - is that what theyre called.. but as I got closer he just vanished
and then another time and I was walking past this place well renowed for being haunted (an old theatre) - there was this man I was talking to. I talked to him heaps so when he vanished all of a sudden - it made me kind of mad, confused :roll:

I think I have seen ghosts before, when we stopped at this hotel one time at night my siblings and cousin said that we swear there was a ghost, it was very dark, in the shadows you could kind of makeout that there was a women there. Another time when I was walking past the bathroom once I had a sudden feeling of a presence right in there, I felt that it was the darkest scariest thing I have ever felt. Actualy since that I have kind of kept telling myself that I control the darkness it does not control me, but I tell you it felt like the scariest thing and I think that I dont know I saw something I keep thinking eyes but what ever it was I actualy ran.

as long as you set good karma > they dont control you and it depends on how much your open to them and of that how much they can communicate to you.
