Spooky encounters

[mongrelle666]

hey there. anyone out there ever seen a ghost or a u.f.o? or the bunyip or anything spooky that you couldn't explain. points for creativity and the absence of alcohol/drugs.

i saw a ghost of an old guy sitting on my bed once i turned on the light and freaked out when he disappeared. i can only assume that if he hadn't disappeared i also would have freaked out but probably not as much.

Funny I should find this thread. Only two days ago I and two friends stayed a night in one of the most haunted houses in Ireland. We did not sleep, we passed the night, eleven to nine in the morning. I'll admit it was rather eerie as we approached the house, my friend's brother was giving us a lift, the radio started to skip, the night had grown oddly quiet too. We entered the house with a mix of fear and excitement, we recorded our venture too. We found the house to be nothing more than an old, dark, cold house. Empty spare some remains of a bed upstairs (where we set up camp) and some old drink cans. There was also the remains of a Ouija board, likely the result of some drunken night.
So, we explored the house, wandered about, sauntered through again at three. Nothing happened, not a peep, not a sound.
The night was quite fun, had a good talk.

Now, I didn't believe in ghosts in the first place, I just thought it would be fun, it was.

The spookiest encounter I ever had was between me, my computer and Marble Hornets. Turning the light off after that was suddenly that little bit harder.

50 hours of sleep deprivation in an old, squeeky house.

fun times, I bet you can imagine.

Oh, i noticed a few glitches in our reality's paradigm.

Last time it was on the cementary. I usually take a shortcut through it. It was very late winter evening while i was walking my usual path.
Then, suddenly something pale floated across the alley maybe 10-20 meters from me. It wasn't natural movement, but more like glide through air. Without any noise, without hesistation.
What was that ? I'm not sure. As i said, i catched only a glimpse of something pale 1-1,5 meters above the ground. It dissapeared quickly between graves.

As i passed by the place where this strange phenomenon vanished i realized that i walk through the children's section. Graves of all those little, poor souls everywhere...

Um...an Unidentified Flying Object is one of those objects that you haven't identified that, you know, flies.

Nothing so suspicious about those...if it's an unidentified object on the ground, no big deal, if it's up in the air OMG aLIENS!

Once I walked through a train station past the point that a guy got bashed the day before with baseball bats, and that was creepy. Did the same the next day without remembering it, and didn't notice anything.

 

[FalloutJack]

Well, there was this one time where a rather nasty storm had downed all the power and I had, during this time, heard a rather unsettling throaty noise. It was not anything that I could identify from a logical source. No person was making a throaty noise and it sure as hell matched no animal I'm familiar with.

I used to live in small, English, mining villages that have had settlements on the same spots for thousands of years.. so lots of ghosts, they're pretty much just a fact of life.

Lived for ten years in a house where I basically considered the ghosts of two young girls my childhood playmates. It really never struck me as anything strange or unusual that I was playing hide and seek with ghosts, they were my friends. The house had been subdivided for an unknown reason and it always felt like there was something terrifying on the other side of the wall, that the girls would never go near.

After we moved out of that house, the new owners purchased both halves and knocked down the dividing walls, within two weeks the place burned down. Later I would learn that the house was the home to two young girls who died a century earlier, and an their parents... including an extremely violent and dangerous father.

Spookiest shit ever was my bro scarying the crap out of me at Halloween.
Never anything "supernatural" I haven't been able to explain.

..Mnyaaaaaaeeeeeh. :C
^^^ That's the latest spooky thing.

The wall next to my bed, in my old apartement, was full of scratches from hands much smaller than mine. Also woke up one morning and saw I had long, bloody scratches on my back.
I'm pretty sure it was my old girlfriend though, however I fail to see how she was able to make scratch marks in concrete.

Don't believe in the paranormal one bit, but even I get scared shitless of the dark after seeing lots of scary movies.

that's the reason i didn't say aliens i said u.f.o. we used to get this orange blimp go past our house at night it belonged to a chocolate company first and then a few years later a tyre company bought it. but every time it flew by, the local radio station would be hit with calls reporting u.f.o's and alien spaceships. i tend to take "aliens" with a grain of salt but i'm always keen to hear about weird shit in the sky when you know you've seen something but you have no idea what the hell it was

Lol, nice.

I've never actually seen anything, but I've had a voice call out my name at my grandma's house. I figured it was just someone messing with me so I never said anything about it. A few years later I was home alone (different house, different part of the city) and I heard the exact same voice call my name again. I've also been touched, something poked my arm, there was nothing that could have done it, and my arm went ice cold. There has been other stuff too, and a priest that came to bless the house said a demon was after me.

Ah, ok, I take your point. Though...doesn't it lower the bar a bit?

Like, I hear possum noises outside my house, but never actually seen them, so I might have invisible were-possums hanging around, sulking about their lover triangles involving mortals and vampires that every were-beast is obliged to be in?

 

[Doclector]

I once swore that I saw a spectral orb in my old house. I also had very strange dreams, and occasionally, I could hear those damnable rats scurrying in the walls...

 

[Jonluw]

Well, there's this one time I was alone in my house at night during a storm.
I heard these weird noises which I started attributing to irrational and supernatural explanations.

Pretty much the same as every other ghost story in other words.

Fuckin' possums.

First time I heard one outside at 3am after moving up into the Hills, away from the city, I had no idea what the hell that noise was.

Weirded me out for a few nights 'til I asked someone. Stupid possums and their weird noises.

OT: Years ago, when I was very young (so don't rely on this as 100% fact, my memory could be distorted a lot), my family went camping with some friends near a river. One night, they were watching the stars, and one was moving. The next second, as we all watched it move closer and closer to another star, it suddenly took a wide detour around the star and continued on its merry way.

No idea what the fuck that was, but probably a figment of my distant memory now. But I held onto that memory for years, even when it wasn't so far back in time, so I now have no idea if it's true or not.

I went to Eagle River in Wisconsin I "supposedly" saw a ghost. It was about a murdered railroad worker and was even on unsolved mysteries in the 90s. However, when I got there it was commercialized which is why I doubt its authenticity.

You look down rail road tracks and as it gets dark you see a light fading in and out down the tracks. When I went to get my camera, they disappeared.

Take it as you'd like, I'm quite suspicious about it myself.
