I know that photographic memory is a proven fact, but I was wondering if there was in any way a paranormal side to it, or if what I am experiencing is similar, but a different subject. I have a mid to high photographic memory. Not everything I see immediately goes to picture memory, but only selective things. I can usually decide what things I want to commit to memory, and I think that's my brain's way of saving space, because anything I photographically remember, never goes away, and isn't altered in any way.
Also, I have always been able to see something, then once my brain processes the information, I can overlay thought "images..." that is, if I were to see a building, I could then picture the building collapsing, or even exploding. The thing is, it's not just in my mind, I actually see it. I can of course turn it off at any point, and it's just a normal building again. I can also picture things that I haven't seen before, for example a creature or element I thought up, but when I mixed it with my sight, the result was that the overlay was always in a lightly shaded gray color. I don't think this is psychic or paranormal (although it might be) but I had to explain this so that you would be able to understand my next statement.
I have always been able to control this "sight overlay," however, there have been two occasions in my life that it acted on its own, and this is what my article is in regard to. The first time, I was at a museum exhibit of Pompeii. For anyone who doesn't already know, Pompeii was an ancient city that was covered in volcanic ash when the nearby volcanoes erupted. The ash instantly killed everything, and then fossilized it.
In the exhibit, there was a fossilized man who was crouched over holding his knees, as if he was trying to protect himself. When I looked over at him, my sight overlay kicked in, and he stood up and looked at me. As if this weren't bad enough, his face went from the black ash color to the normal face of a person. The thing that disturbed me about this was that I had never seen his face before, and yet it wasn't that gray color. I thought that maybe I was just imagining it, so I went on with the exhibit (at least he wasn't following me!).
The reason I know wonder about this now is because it happened again, this time at a funeral I was attending. I walked toward the open casket, and saw the deceased woman, but to my horror, just like at the exhibit, she opened her eyes, and rose out of the casket. I could not end the overlay myself, but after a while she went back down in the casket and closed her eyes again. Needless to say, this scared the hell out of me.
I am not asking for help on controlling this, but am merely asking your opinion on this, And if this happens to anyone else, I would very much like to know (so that I know I'm not insane!).
Also I was wondering if photographic memory could be advanced by practice. Last year I tried remembering a video memory, and it worked, but the quality wasn't as great (The memory is blurry and slightly darker). If this can be enhanced, or if anyone has done this, I would like to know.
Thank you,
