Don’t rush for a flashlight or a candle. Just stay calm.

You may feel like you’re being watched. You are. But don’t worry, they’re not here to hurt you. They just got a bit overly excited.

Sometimes, during a blackout, a single TV will turn on. Turn it off.

You’ll often hear voices. If you focus you can make out what they’re saying. Feel free to strike up a conversation if they seem friendly.

Remember, nothing will hurt you in a blackout unless you panic.

This is always a nice opportunity to go outside and look at the stars. Don’t try to find constellations though. The ones you know aren’t there.

It may seem as if there’s someone else in your house. Pay them no mind.

Your pets will get anxious. Comfort them.

You may think this is a good time to try to commune with some spirits. And it absolutely is! Say hi.

Though the dark will not hurt you in any manner, you may start to feel strange and have strange thoughts. Focus on your breathing in these instances.

Sometimes people you know disappear in blackouts. Don’t worry. They’ll be there when the lights turn back on.

Many of them are lonely. You may even hear crying. It is wise to comfort them. The blackout likely won’t stop until they find peace.

Stay away from mirrors.

As long as you take the back door, you can wander wherever you want and explore things you’d normally never see. When the lights come back on you’ll be back home and those paths will be gone. Just don’t use the front door to do this.

Once the blackout ends, you may feel compelled to say goodbye. It’s best you don’t. It’ll only make it harder for them.
