To ask what’s the creepiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

I was lying on bed one night - I lived alone at this point, and heard 3 loud knocks on my bedroom door. I was half asleep but it woke me up obviously! Too scared to move or open the door I just lay there awake for the rest of the night, convincing myself it had been my imagination. It probably was. I've since had what I assume are other " auditory hallcinations", like someone whispering my name close to my ear. Always when I'm almost asleep, so must be something about that very relaxed state but it's creepy!

A few months ago I had another case of sleep paralysis which I haven't suffered with in a few years. Every time it's always a small strange little creature climbing on top of me. Well, about 3 months ago me and dp went to bed and he fell asleep. I fell asleep then woke up with sleep paralysis. I couldn't move but my eyes were open and I could see my bedroom around me and dp snoring next to me. I was watching my cats run around like mad things and suddenly I saw four cats not the three we have. I started to try and move to shop this rogue cat away when it turned to look at me and stood up on its back legs and began to transform into this weird little creature about 2.5/3foot tall. Eventfully I snapped out of it and was able to move again. I was a bit freaked out by the weirdness but knew it was just my mind so I went to the bathroom and felt like I was being watched. When I got back to bed I saw the weird creature again in the doorway where the cheeky bastard waved at me and vanished. The next day do woke up and told me all about this weird dream he had where a strange cat had gotten into the house and he didn't know what to do. Needless to say I'm very cautious that no local strays get into our house

It's not really creepy but we find we get activity everytime we renovate our house. Usually just presences or a cloud of perfume. When we first moved in it was worse. We'd suddenly find a random photo of one of the previous residents or stuff would get moved to funny places.

We renovated our son's room in June and he came crying to our room at about 10pm, he'd been reading with the lamp on and he said a big black man appeared next to his bed. He meant black figure, not a BAME man. He described it very clearly and was shaking in terror (he's 11 and not usually dramatic) I tucked him in with us and the next day I cut loads of sage and distributed it around the room and we both asked the figure to please not visit because it was frightening.

I mostly did this to comfort my son but the figure has not returned! I have no idea whether it was real or not. I get those wierd sleep paralysis episodes fairly regularly so maybe DS has inherited it and it was just that.

My mum is the most un-woo person ever and she's always getting funny things happening. Last year she was watching TV and her glass of wine suddenly shattered sending the red wine up to the ceiling but not over the furniture (she had to repaint the ceiling, I saw the stain) she found out the next day a friend had died at that exact moment. She knew the time because the news was just starting.

I love all these stories even though I'm not really a believer! There's so much we don't understand that I guess it's possible

The fake Dr story is terrifying!

@Winniewonka - that's really freaky..

Not sure if this is creepy, but a PP made me think others may find this interesting, I still can't explain it.

I conceived DD 3 in summer 2019, due date March 2020. I had been unable to breastfeed my first 2 children (blood loss/low supply) but I remember sitting on the sofa at home just after finding out I was pregnant and the thoughts came to me that there was going to be a big crisis when DD was due to be born. I needed to be able to breastfeed her because I couldn't rely on being able to get milk.

Come March 2020 and we established breastfeeding on the first day, a couple of days later lockdown happened and there was no way I could get my hands on baby formula if I had needed it as were in the middle of nowhere and deliveries were impossible to get. I had bought lots of formula and stored it just in case which I was able to donate.

All very odd, but I knew the whole pregnancy that something big was going to happen when DD3 was born.

This happened many years ago, more of a mystery but still a bit creepy. I worked in an office along side five other people and we sat at three large desks facing each other. Our new boss was different in that he had quite long hair in a ponytail and long wispy beard, in his fifties but still wore a suit to work. We always thought he looked like a wizard. He was into all sorts of alternative stuff including astral projection. You would think with this lifestyle he would be quite easy going but wasn't and could be quite stern.
He had a tiny office within our office. It had a desk, filing cabinet, small bookcase with his books on subjects including astral projection and two chairs including his own. The building was built in the 1870s and still had large sash windows which were difficult and noisy to open. His office door was clear half glass so that he could keep an eye on us but it meant he also was always in view.
One winter afternoon, he called me into his office to discuss some orders he wanted me to get on with. About 20 minutes later I knocked on his door to ask a question and I could see it was empty.
I ask the typist who sat directly in front of the door had she seen him leave the office and she said No, in fact no one had. I thought I'll wait as he may have nipped to the Gents. Fifteen minutes later, no sign. It was really peculiar, his desk looked like he had been working (pre computers), the window was closed but no had seen him leave.
We opened his door in case he had collapsed but couldn't see anything so every one went back to their desks. About ten minutes later, a colleague said "You're not going to believe this, he's sat at his desk".
But he hadn't passed anyone to go back in there !
We decided it must have been astral projection! Only logical explanations are he went out and came back in through ground floor window but why would he do that?
Or he had passed out and was wedged between his desk and the wall (he was quite small)

Very, very strange and he wasn't the type of person you could ask. I didn't go back to ask my question as I had figured it out and felt a bit unnerved by what had happened.

This was about 20-25 years ago, at the time I lived in a terraced town house (row of 4) in a cul de sac. There was a lamp post outside. I had lived there quite a number of years and it was very quiet. Because we were at the end of the cul de sac people would not walk there, there was no passing traffic, it was just people who lived there who perhaps may have been outside. The house next door to me was let out to students, and because there was a big university in the town a lot of the students were overseas students. On the occasion I am talking about they were Japanese.

One night about 3.00am my boyfriend at the time and I were woken up by a couple of men arguing outside by the lamp post. The bedroom window was just above the lamp post outside so we sat up in bed and listened for a while. It sounded like one English speaking person and another person speaking a different language, I assumed at the time it was Japanese and one of the students from next door. The English person sounded very calm and soothing but the Japanese person was ranting and raving - it was so long ago now I can't remember what was said exactly but the English person was doing a lot of placating and trying to calm the other person down. It didn't sound violent as such - just like one was ranting and the other was trying to calm the situation. Not only were the languages different but the tone, pitch etc between the two voices was completely different. Eventually, it sounded like they were started to move away from the lamp post.

I admit I was really scared - it was such a weird altercation to be going on in our sleepy little cul de sac in a quiet village. Eventually, whilst they were still arguing we looked out of the window, there was one person walking down the road. He was arguing with himself - he turned round to look back towards my house and his face was completely blank/white. I couldn't distinguish any features. It was so odd. From his demeanor, clothing etc I could tell he was a young adult. Maybe early 20's.

A lot of the houses heard it also because lots of peoples lights were on - I vaguely remember calling the police (I thought the person was having some sort of mental health crisis and would need help) and they said it had already been reported. I watched him wonder off down the street onto the main road. I can only hope he was ok.

I love supernatural stuff! None of it has ever happened to me, sadly. I'd love to meet a ghost!

I have a vivid memory (was much more vivid when I was a kid) of holding on to the iron fencing surrounding the steps of the market cross in my hometown and feeling annoyed because I wanted to sit on the steps. The iron fencing surrounded the whole thing, so you couldn't.

I read a recently published history book on my hometown when I was a bit older and saw picture of the market cross, exactly as I'd remembered it with the railings, except the railings had been removed in 1900 or thereabouts. Such a bizarre memory to me, it felt so real and I was so surprised when I saw that picture and the date they were removed. And what's weirder is I feel like I was a little boy in the memory, and not a girl. Probably some rational explanation for it though!

@Downunderduchess So sorry to scare you! Just proves you've gotta be aware of yourself and others anyplace and anytime.

@EastWestWhosBest the story has been told on a previous similar thread I remember it, really spooky! it does sound made up but it still scared me so this poster must have copied it from that thread if it's their first post.

Was walking home from a friend's one night and was about 4 houses away from my house, when a floaty white wispy shape crossed over the road and disappeared into next door neighbours house. Too be honest I just thought it smoke from somewhere at the time though I did jump into bed rather quick. My mum woke me next day after a bit of a lay in, and told me the lady next door had died during the night.

Also, do you know much Latin? I find it odd that you could understand what he said. If someone said something to me in a language I didn’t understand I wouldn’t be able to recall every single word and spell it correctly.

I glanced for the first time at the object I’d picked up from the office floor before I’d fled the office. It was (I found out later when describing it to a local historian) a gladius

Ah, now actually on reflection that is a dildo.

In one arm the figure appeared to be carrying something long and pointed, almost a metre in length and about two inches wide. A sword.

I looked down to see the sword, or blade, or whatever it was Er, a sword.

It was a strange, satisfying, almost euphoric feeling, like you get when you sink into a hot bath, or scratch an itch. Mmmm...maybe it was a dildo? But a metre long....

And then it thrust the object in its hand straight into my stomach. Ah, nope. Definitely a sword.

I was staying at a boyfriend's grandmother's house. Beautiful home, a Georgian rectory style house. Was coming down to join the family for breakfast in the morning and didn't want to be late so was hurrying down but did see an old labrador snoozing in a patch of sunlight on the landing. At the breakfast table I mentioned this and asked what the dog's name was. Apparently this was the grandmother's much adored dog that had died 5 years previously. I definitely saw him though. His GM adored me after that. I was obviously a very special person if her dog had chosen to make an appearance to me!

Not quite on the level of an infantry of footless Roman centurions!

My exh grandmother was in hospital she was 0k just a small procedure I believe she was due home in a couple of days I woke up around 3am one Sunday no reason just woke up feeling sad and happy at the same time very peaceful so I started my day but I felt like I was waiting for something? My phone rang at 7am my ex husband ringing to say he wouldn't be getting the kids that day because his nan had died this didn't come as a shock to me as I seemed to already know it was weird like I was expecting his call there was no reason why she died she just went

She died around 3am

They described the uniform exactly but interestingly they only appeared from the shin upwards. Turns out when they marched, the road would have been lower than it was now.

Ive had exactly this in a York shop cellar, a whole bloody bunch of footless centurions marching through a wall

I can see why the made up of marbles that fell apart description, sounds dubious though. Never heard of that before other than in a film. I suspect the story is true, but maybe embellished a bit, or perhaps struggled with describing accurately what they saw. I have seen things materialise & dematerialise in front of me & it's hard to describe, I wouldn't have chosen marbles though, but who knows

Bollocks

😂 😂 😂 😂

@Jevarakh I live near Chester and have heard similar stories as yours. I worked with someone who used to work in the Thornton's shop and they told a tale of a Roman centurion marching through the shop after shop hours. If I remember rightly the spirit marched through the cellar?

I could be wrong though on that, but they definitely said they had seen a Roman soldier march past them, this was a person who was scrupulously honest so I believed them. They described the uniform exactly but interestingly they only appeared from the shin upwards. Turns out when they marched, the road would have been lower than it was now.

@Lahhdjdknwbjshdhb that’s funny you should say that about covid- I got engaged in Feb 2019, and booked the wedding for October 2020. All through summer 2019 I had this horrible feeling of anxiety that something terrible was going to happen to disrupt our lives and ruin the wedding. I actually imagined something more like a family member dying, but when the pandemic hit I realised, THIS is what I’ve been waiting on happening. It was almost a strange sense of relief that my sense of impending doom was almost confirmed/justified.

Also, I’ve never been one to believe in ghosts etc but I did have an odd experience this summer. I was on a trip away with some friends staying in an old (1600s) Airbnb. Myself and two others shared the attic room. I really struggled to get to sleep, I felt a bit uneasy and was far too warm.

When I did eventually drift off, I suddenly became aware that my legs were nice and cool, and then had the sensation that the duvet was ripped off me 😬 I woke up in a panic, the duvet was on the floor at the bottom of the bed. I convinced myself it had fallen off and went to sleep(a couple of hours later once my heart had stopped racing!).

In the morning, one of the other girls in my room said she’d had horrible nightmares about people standing over her bed. The following night, we were all woken up by one of the girls in the room below ours screaming in sheer terror, she said she had a dream that the caretaker we had seen in the garden earlier was standing over her😳 and another girl in that room had been having a similar nightmare at the same time.

As I said I’m not one to believe in this stuff but there was a v odd feeling in that house.

I used to work in an A&E in a small hospital with a minor injuries dept that closed overnight. On the night shift our duties included cleaning the various rooms and cubicles and set up ready for the next day.

So, it was about midnight, the department had emptied out. Myself and another colleague were on duty - we had a few patients awaiting transfer/admission to medical beds but it was pretty quiet. I got all my cleaning gear and walked down the corridor into the empty MI area, one room had been used as a plaster room and was a real mess, so I paused for a second in the doorway and sighed/mentally cursed whoever hadn't cleaned up after themselves. I then heard someone whisper in my ear - similar sound to when a little kid pretends to whisper a secret right in your ear so whispery-sounds not actual words, prob only about 5 seconds but I absolutely heard it.

I have never turned around so fast in my life - was convinced someone was actually there but dept was empty - I know because I still had to clean it!

Lots of night shifts there and it only happened the once, although sometimes I just used to feel like someone else was there.
