Lets share our own personal creepy/paranormal/unexplainable experiences!

I've had about two experiences that I'd classify as "fucking weird".

When I was 13, I was having a sleep over with some friends, and in the middle of the night, my friend woke up screaming, asking me what the hell was standing beside our furnace. I looked, and sure enough, there was this white-orange glowing face. It was gone in a split second. Very bizarre .

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, they're the ghost busters and their in control.....:P
the oceans made me, but who came up with love?

    Great thread idea. Sadly, I have nothing to contribute. I'll love reading the responses however. :)

    When i was around eleven or so, i was up late one night while the rest of the house was sleeping. My eyes focused in on an odd shadow along the bathroom door. I then saw this shadow move and make a slight noise of moving from one side to the other. Naturally, i freaked out. Ran to wake up my mother whom after about ten minutes had become noticeably frightened. As we were talking and she was trying to console me, i saw her stare outside the house through the window that lead to the back porch. My little brother's bright green eyes were glaring from the inside light. We ran to get him (because we had a creek behind our home) We then proceeded to move a large cabinet that my mother stuck in front of the back door so the kids couldn't get out to the back porch. It was still in place as was the deadbolt and handle lock. We really could never figure out how the hell he got out there. he was too small to have pushed the cabinet over by himself, much less lock the doors and move it back in place behind him. When we found him he was in a state of sleep walking..

    We still talk about this every once in awhile and its always the same thing. We remember the details but still baffled at what exactly happened that night.


    Yay for freaky stories.. weeee

    I was working once, and say for example my phone number is 94892501 I looked at my phone (which had been unlocked in my pocket) and all these random numbers had been pushed in. it looked like this 18648555*#45494892501568#89. In the middle of all these random numbers, my home phone number had been entered in the correct order. That did my head in trying to think of the chances. this fits into the unexplainable ones I feel.

    i don't even keep my home phone number in my phonebook, so i ruled that out.

    And also, back in 2000, my cousin was backpacking through Nepal. in the middle of nowhere, no civilisation, no phone. She had a dream, and our grandfather appeared in it. He said something like "I had to go, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you. Give your Grandmother a call and look after her. Remember I love you"

    My cousin woke up, and the next day, her and her Husband made it to a town where she rang up her Dad, asking if Grandad was alright. And she found out he had died that night.

    Now this is freaky.

    ive had a few weird things happen over the years

    at my nanas house (my pop was no longer alive) she would babysit us frequently, the door to the lounge would always open and close by its self- the door handle would move up and down just like it would if any person opened it. it would open wide enough for someone to walk through then it would close again. this would happen maybe like 3-4 times a day nana never said anything- i always thought it was my pop so was never scared, infact i quite liked it, it always felt like he was around.

    i was about 7 if i had to guess and was in the bathroom washing my hands when out the corner of my eye i saw a kid run past the doorway looked younger than me just went whoosh never saw them again. (and it wasnt my sister who was the only other kid in the house that day this looked like a littly boy like 4 or 5 years old if my memory serves me correctly)

    i was 12 or 13 same house as above and was sitting alone watching tv on the end of the couch which was right next to the arch that led into our dining room which i always felt scared of i couldnt look into that room when the light was off and it always felt like someone lived in there or something? and all of a sudden "someone" was patting my head and if it were a real person theyd have to be standing in the bloody diningroom to pat me the same way-there was no one there i got up and ran to my room. now that i think of it im sure it was my pop well i bloody hope so!!

    when leaving work me and a guy i worked with were walking out when i thought i saw someone out the corner of my eye (the shop was empty apart from us) i turned around sharply the thing is we did it at the same time we both thought we saw someone. he was like did you see that and i was like why what did you see, not wanting to seem a little crazy. he thought he saw a guy walking back behind us and so did i. we went back cos we seriously thought it was a customer or some shit but once again there was no one there.


    at my flat i felt this a couple of times, something climbing onto my bed, i could feel a slight weight of someone but no one was there.

    at this same flat i was woken by a very loud male screaming in my right ear-there was no one there.

    also at this same house we had our flat warming and there is a photo of me and my sister only you cant see my face only the outline and all this bright beaming light is coming from out of me bright like the sun, but you could see straight through me to the kitchen where there were other people standing around- fucked up!! i cant explain that shit. if my sister still has a copy i will post the picture

    and i always feel like im being observed probably quite common, you know that feeling when someones watching you and you catch them out cos they are-well its that feeling which is normally correct only you cant see them....

  • OK, this one is 100% true and still scary when I think about it 5 years later.

    My last semester of college, 3 friends and I found this huge old mansion close to campus to rent for pretty cheap. This place was straight out of a horror movie and we all thought at some point we would have some kind of "experience". It just had that kind of feel to it.

    One night we rented "Virgin Suicides" and we were watching it in our living room. We had a big screen TV at the time and surround sound too, which was really cool for our huge living room. So if you have never seen the movie it is about these young sisters that end up killing themselves (awesome book and movie, FYI). So at this one scene, a pretty suspenseful one, we hear this blood curdling scream from behind us. It seemed to fit the movie scene at the time but something about it wasnt quite right. It seemed to come from behind us, like behind the surround sound even. All four of us sat there for a few seconds after it happened and tried to make sense of it, and then all 4 of us at the same time were like "HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS WEIRD,REWIND IT...."

    so we skipped back to the same scene and sure enough there was no scream this time. we skipped back again, still no scream. Surprisingly we just kind of went on with the movie, it basically just confirmed our suspicion I guess. I remember talking with a neighbor that lived across the street, not about what happened, just talking.....and she said the house once belonged to a family with 4 daughters. She said all 4 daughters were born, raised, and passed on in that house. I never even made that connection until I started typing this. I shit you not. That freaks me out even worse.
    I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
