There is a group of people in the world who see themselves as “Targeted Individuals” or TI’s. I, and a few others, started a group called Parawareness with the purpose of exploring the connections we saw between Experiencers, TI’s and many others. These groups have similar ‘symptoms’ such as:
Visions/Visual hallucinations
Somatic/Physical interactions
Body Takeover/Control
Lost Time
Heightened Astral/Lucid Dream activity
Voices/communications with other beings
Increased Synchronicities/Coincidences
And others…
The main difference between someone who sees themselves as a TI and an Experiencer is this: TI’s think they’re being targeted (usually by technological weaponry) and Experiencers think they’re being visited by NHI.
Right now, we’re all trying to figure out what is happening to us – some think they know the answer and most are still researching and comparing notes.
A friend of mine, Peter, started a group called OTIR – Objective Targeted Individual Research – and has been collecting data on these people at his website otir.org. I interviewed him on the Parawareness YouTube channel in November 2025, where he talked about his journey and how to become an “Ex-TI”. https://youtu.be/OROLLToyV4U
Peter is constantly collecting data, taking the approach of metadata analysis to understand this phenomenon. I and my co-host Kevin Orr (founder of r/PostiveTI) interviewed him again, recently, to hear about his new data collection. The video is linked in this post.
If you’re interested in my YouTube channel or our Parawareness group, please go check out the videos and drop by to join our Parawareness Discord group, where those experiencing “paranormal activity” of all kinds come together for discussion and the healing power of community.
For decades, people have thought they were being targeted by different things – secret societies, government agencies, organized crime, and even NHI. Many Experiencers – some who appreciate their contact with NHI and those who lean toward the “abduction” side of the spectrum – have joined Parawareness and now share stories with TI’s.
I’ll finish this post with a question. In the Parawareness Discord, we took a poll asking, “If you could go back to before this experience and remove it, would you?” The results showed about 60% answered YES, they would choose NOT to have the experience. On a server originally started by Targeted Individuals, I was surprised by 40% saying they would not go back and change things because they felt the experience, overall, to be more beneficial than hurtful.
So, what do you all think about that question? Would you choose to go back and remove the experience of high strangeness? Or have the positives outweighed the negatives?
Also, what do you observe from all the “high strangeness experiencers” – do you think most would go back and remove the experience?
Thanks for reading! I hope your experiences are positive going forward.
