The creepiest thing that happened to me isn't really that creepy, just unfortunate, and it didn't happen to me.

I went to my local chain store at the time (kind of like a 7-11) at about 10pm, bought some stuff, greeted the nice lady that was tending the register and happened to notice her kid was sitting on the floor playing with a coulpe of toy cars, or something (I don't remember that well), and left. The next day the place was closed and I figured someone must have been a lazy and didn't open, but upon further inspection through the window the place looked like a mess. Whatever, so I left.

My dad made it home and told me that the nice lady had been shot square in the forehead by some drug addicted thieves while infront of her kid. All for the measly amount of 300 pesos. It all happened some minutes after I had left.

Fucked up, right? A not so big amount of minutes can make a huge difference.

Back a ways, I had this really old computer, and I relied on it as my primary. Then one day trying to get a game to work, I screw over the graphics driver and blow it all to hell. Week later I bought a CD/DVD drive from a GARAGE SALE. Installed it and found it had a disk in it. It was a disk for drivers for my graphic chip manufatureer!

It doesn't seem so bad in retrospect, but at the time the creepiest thing that happened to me was while I was camping with some friends. While we were getting ready to go to sleep for the night, the unholiest sound you can imagine rips through the night silence like a burning shaft of light in an otherwise dark room. It was a terrifying shriek that rattled my bones, so naturally I started panicking loudly, until one of my friends assured me that the hell-born wail was nothing. he told me that it was just a fox which, at the time, I suspended on the grounds that nothing mortal could make that noise. i didn't sleep that night, even though the creatures wails had died off.

However upon returning home, i did discover that foxes do indeed sound like soul stealing banshees, thanks to the youtube.

I've had some but frankly this is the creepy thing I did: Halloween a few years ago, I'm wearing all black with the freakyist skull mask you've ever scene, well I'm across the street from this group of kids and when they stop, I stop. Its like 10pm at this point so not many people out. They are freaked out, I can tell cause they kept looking at me. Eventually they reach my house. After they got their candy I went to the door and said have a good night and went in.

I think next Halloween I'll just stand somewhere random with that mask on staring at people.

I still have to think of the creepiest thing thats happened to me.

However, while i was in Iraq some jackass had the gall to have a soundfile of what sounded like a little girl screaming play every time he opened his laptop. He worked at night and was up at wierd hours so it could be anytime you were around you'd just suddenly hear this little scream.

at first i seriously thought something was up, though i was like "WTF Is a little girl doing around here?". I think that guy got punched in the face eventually when we all found out what it was.

Few creepy things happen to me.

I guess the 'creepiest' thing that ever happenned was when I was at home on my onw quite late at night when the power went out. Weirdly, so did my laptop, iPod and phone, plus the clocks all stopped.

That's not particularly creepy really. I happen to know that no one died in or near my house, a murderer never lived here and we don't have indian burial grounds in this country.
Than the only explaination is an emp burst.

Hi, first post ever...anyway i have two stories here to tell, neither may sound very scary to anyone else but aat the time they scared the shit out of me.
1) I don't know if anyone remembers this, but in the Amityville horror remake with Ryan Reynolds, freaky demonic things would happen at like 3:33 in the morning and ryan would get possessed. Well anyway the very same night I watched that movie I woke up at exactly 3:33 and could not get back to sleep. Friggin scared the crap out of me.
2) Me and my girlfriend always had to go to the late showings of movies because we both worked ungodly hours...anyway, we decided to go to the 10:30 showing of quarantine. We got to the the theater and there was literally only one other person there, some old guy doing God knows what. So after an hour forty five of all this scary shit going on we leave the theater and all the lights are off on the entire shopping center(It's well passed midnight)and the anyway to get to our car is through an alley way. Needless to say walking through a pitch black deserted alley after getting all worked up is not a fun way to finish a date.

Let's see, I can think of two.
One has happened more than once, and may well happen again. Occasionally, my speakers will start emitting sound completely independently of my computer. I can sometimes make out voices, or little bits of music. It's important to note that this can happen when the computer is off, and unplugged. The only explanation I can think of is that the things are picking up radio signals--why, I don't know. Either way, it's always accompanied by a lot of static and is generally creepy as hell.

Secondly, a few years ago, I was sitting in my bed with a laptop, doing my usual intarweb stuff, at about three in the morning. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge yellow flash in the sky. I quickly glanced out my bedroom window, thinking I had imagined it, when a couple seconds later the sky most definitely flashed again, red this time. This wasn't just a light in the sky either--the entire sky was bright red for a split second. I turned off my computer and went to sleep after that--I'm still not sure if I imagined it or not. I have absolutely no idea what could have caused something like that.

Liek OMFG!!11!

But for real, I didn't just see it in my peripheral vision, I stared at the goddamn thing for at least 10 seconds before I ran. I could make out a white face with no eyes staring blankly with it's mouth agape at me.
Holy shit.

Does the Slender Man count? Not a sighting, but he kept me awake for about a week.
Damn that guy.

One night, before I went to bed, I closed my window. I woke up at about 2 am, and saw a figure staring at me from the other side of my window. I couldn't make out more than his or her sillouette. It stood there, watching me. I couldn't move from the fear. I lied awake for hours. In spite of myself, I fell asleep. When I awoke, it was gone. I never told anyone else. You might think I was asleep. In my heart I know I was awake.

This was really creepy. I was in my room one night and my mom and her husband were in theirs. I got up and walked down the hallway to the kitchen, I never even turned the light on. When I was leaving the kitchen I turned to close the door because it is a sliding door, I turned back around to start down the hall way and I saw this thing. It was like mist but it wasn't wet. It was in the shape of a dog and I didn't know what to do and I froze but when I didn't move it started to run at me and jumped. It bit down but I felt nothing and saw what ever it was evaporate. When I looked behind me there was nothing there. It was so weird and creepy. It happened this year and I am 14, what do you think it was?

Welcome to the escapist!

Seems like this mist thing is somewhat similar to the 2 things that chased our car in the story I posted back on... Page 6 I believe?

Now this one has to be one of the creepiest shit ive ever seen, i was staying at my grandparents house in the country, not quite in the middle of nowhere however there were few house around and a pub up the street, now one night i learned of a man who hanged himself a few years back because of a divorce in which his kids were taken away and moved abroad. However i just thought the bloke who told me was trying to fuck me about, so i went back to my grandparents house. Now in my bedroom at about 3 am i woke to the sounds of harsh breathing. I held my breath and still the noises went on. I checked around to see if anything was there, but nothing. after a while i became genuinely quite frightened but i stayed glued in my bed, however some time had passed, and some arguing with myself i got up to check outside. Large field, a few houses but the house where this bloke supposedly hanged himself, had a large window and in the window was a large man hanging by his neck but with his eyes open. I jumped into bed and tried to get to sleep. Why i heard breathing though i dont know.

Creepiest thing I have experienced?
I went to visit my parents at their vacation spot, and went bikeriding alone one afternoon. Beautiful day, around 3 pm. The area was quite heavily forested, and I decided to bike through a fairly-dense forest. The kind with a lot of bush-like vegetation, with an amount of trees that makes sure it's always dusky, and due to the bushes you can see 30 meters max.

So, I was a ways into the forest, and I heard this sound quite close by. Basically a cross between a wolf howling and a girl crying her heart out, but LOUD. I was like WTF?, so I stop and stand still, trying to see what made that noise. Then, through the bushes I suddenly see something big (like, as tall as me) move FAST (at least 60 kph) and with only leaves rustling through the bushes to someplace behind me, and then...nothing. Never got a good look at exactly what it was, but around then I decided it was a very good idea to be elsewhere fast.

And no, it wasn't a fox. Didn't sound like one, and it was WAY bigger.

When I was in fifth grade or so, I spent the night at my friend Kristen's house on Halloween. It was a weekend, so we were allowed to stay up watching scary movies in the front room. The front room had been decorated as a small haunted house, with lots of motion-activated decorations that made noise and moved around. Because we didn't want to be bothered by all that, we took the batteries out of every one of them and set them aside, then went about watching our movies.

About fifteen minutes later, all of the motion-activated decorations started moving, lighting up, and making their noises, and they wouldn't shut up. No batteries. No electrical power.

The overhead lights went out, too--though no one had touched the switch. I can explain away the lights flicking off (Kristen's house was old and probably had faulty electrics), but I'm still baffled by the moving, laughing, lightup Halloween decorations.

There was always something wrong with Kristen's house anyway. I don't know what it was, but there was always a heavy, "dark" kind of feeling around it, and you always felt like you were being watched by something not-nice. To this day, I don't like walking past that house in the broad daylight... and I'm twenty-two years old now.

It's not as creepy as some other stories, but it's true.

Another time, while camping in the desert, I heard something insistently pawing at and shaking my tent for quite some time before going away. It was probably a coyote or something like that, but it was still pretty goddamn creepy.

My mom and I were walking on a sidewalk in New York. And then some homeless guy with no teeth riding a bicycle reached out to me and muttered "I want you." Creepy as fuck. Hell, I still have nightmares about it.
