Bro, there are always skeptical holdouts.

Anyway, I get dizzy whenever I enter a place that's supposedly holy (i.e. a forest grove or an ancient, small chapel). I appear to be the devil.

What if you don't know it's supposedly holy at the time of entering it?

Maybe that is how he knows it's holy.  He's a righteous human drowsing rod.

I'm just boggled by the fact that it includes places that would be holy to pagans, too. Shit, I'd probably pass out if I ever went to stonehenge.

I'd be a jerk and carve my name into one of the boulders :P

There is indeed one thing I was never able to understand or even explain though. I live in a pretty flat plains area with a few trees here and there. We have storms once in a while with pretty strong winds, but thats it, nothing special.

One day it was beyond 1 am, and I heard a sound very similiar to the sound the wind makes when it howls. Howling wind isn't anything special, but this howl was stupidly loud. It was DEAFENING LOUD after some seconds, then it started to dissipate. Storm raged on for hours after without any weird sounds.

Never heard something like that again in my life. I'm not even joking. It wasn't scary, but it was creepy as hell, it woke everyone in my house and possibly the block aswell.

Clearly, invisible werewolves.

Apparently, it also works if the place is really old, thus sanctifying it to someone, I guess.

Whenever I'm sick, food starts tasting like different metals. Primarily tin, iron, and copper tastes.

Have you considered it may merely be cave adaptation combined with going outside?

You do make sure you're not getting any nosebleeds and such, right?

Usually, when I start smelling or tasting such things, that's the first thing I check. Is it blood, and is it mine? (let's say this happens while eating steak)

Sometimes the case is either a bloody nose, or bleeding gums, or a really juicy/rare meal.

Man, I spend most of my time glaring down the fiery orb. He has no power over me.

also I'm mostly blind now.

 One night, quite late and a year ago, I turned off my room's light, and the few electronics here. I then sat on my bed planning to think about things, assuming that I would fall asleep eventually. Both things happened, but before that, my gaze had drifted to the area above my computer chair and second desk. My eyes adjusted in a few moments to the starlight, but although I saw the walls and assorted unclear details of my room, the place I stared had nothing at all. It was like one of those splotches you get when you look at a really bright light or rub your eyes too hard, except instead of moving with my eyes, it was stationary.
 At this moment my first two thoughts, side by side, were that I was seeing MAGIC or there was something wrong with my mind and/or perception somewhere. Or both. Because of this interesting thing, I felt invigorated (my fear). A few more moments of staring provided dreamish images on the ~empty space, but of the roiling wormy kind. I imagined things at it, and of course it changed. I turned on the light, and of course it vanished.
 I made note of it to my sister, but didn't ask her into circumstances to see it if possible.

 That's about as unexplained as it gets for me.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I don't think that's very unexplainable. I'm no optimologist, but I think you saw your blind spot when your eyes were readjusting. If I understand eye structure correctly, it's a hole through which blood vessels of the eye go, but is phased out by your brain between being seen and fed to your mind. That's right, your brain censors images. Everyone has a group of mini-authoritarian madsynapses sitting behind their eyes.
