For the record I don't believe in the supernatural but I love hearing others people's stories and believe that most people aren't lying.

I've personally had a few experiences that I cannot explain and that, in the moment, were quite scary.

What's your paranormal experience?

One time I was on a road trip with some friends. One of my friend's grandparents owned a small farm in northern Iowa. We stopped there for the night to take a break and rest up. At one point in the night I heard a spooky howling sound that woke me up. I looked out the window and the sky was glowing green and had a magical spookiness about it. I went outside to stare at it and came to the realization that the howling was wind moving between the grain silos and the sky was green because of solar wind interacting with the Earth's magnetosphere. But there was a moment when I thought I was on a haunted farm

Nobody ever told you that you had a closer encounter with a tornado?

Look up the descriptions of what it's like right before one:

The light is green
There's a lot of wind
You're in rural fucking Iowa.

Tornado, man. They're creepy AND destructive.

Aurora Borealis and the “green” sky before a tornado are not something you’d mix up

Yeah it was definitely aurora because there weren't many clouds, it was a pretty clear night, just windy

Like this? Tornado Borealis

aurora borealis? more like aurora BORINGALIS where's the tornadoes? the destruction?

The words OP used were, "the sky was glowing green." Doesn't that impy a green sky and not an Aurora?

Also, aurora are uncommon to witness that far South. All things considered, my money would still be on "tornado."

The words OP used were “Yeah it was definitely the aurora” but go off sister
