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

Are you saying that in 1989 you saw newspapers from 1995 or that the you were renovating the bathroom after 1995 but the papers were from after you moving in?
Either way that is madness, but the first option more so.

I love reading these but some of them scare me especially if I read them at night! I found the "Bella!" and the "doctor" stories particularly creepy!

I've have some stories of my own but they would be outing so not sure whether to share.

On a similar note, I once stopped for petrol with my mum at a busy shopping centre not long after my grandma (same grandparents ) had died. I went to pay and as I was walking back over the forecourt I could see my grandma in the car with my mum. She was in the back but looking out from between the seats and watching me, right next to my mum
I’ve had a strong sense of her presence before, interestingly furniture polish as pp also said
I was close to both my grandparents and had a lot of odd experiences after both of them died

I have loads but NC as I’ve told a lot of them before

About 15 years ago I was having a bit of a rough time. I was in the middle of a divorce, my grandad had just died and my dream house had fallen through, all within 24 hours of each other. I had a strong sense that my grandad was around, kept seeing him in the back of my car etc
Anyway one night on the way home from work I had an accident in my car where I hit a concrete block on the outside lane on the motorway. It was dark and I’d lost control of my steering but my car just drifted across 3 lanes of traffic and came to a stop on the hard shoulder. No idea how I wasn’t hit as it was rush hour and very very busy.
Anyway, hours later I got home. I was newly alone in the house and a bit shaken. Suddenly I felt freezing cold and the clothes that were lying in the back of the chair in my bedroom started billowing up in the air. A couple of doors slammed (they all had wedges as it was a new build with fire doors). Eventually I felt so scared I said out loud ‘grandad you’re scaring me now’ and it stopped.
The next day I took my car to the garage. I was asked to pick it up later and they told me the damage was too much to repair and I should consider replacing. I went to pay the bill.
The woman behind the counter asked what happened. I told her and she said ‘someone was looking out for you last night’. I laughed it off but she said ‘who was it? You had a visitation last night didn’t you? How long have you been able to see people?’
I admitted it was since I was about 15. ‘That’s nice’ she said. ‘Is it your grandfather? I’m a spiritualist’
I’ve never been able to explain it but it gave me a lot of comfort at a very difficult time in my life

She's was hi h hi jjjjaaaaajaaa

My dad used to live in a house which had once belonged to Katherine Swynford, so properly old. Had turrets, stone spiral staircase, etc. He was the only person living there and was the most down to earth, scientific person ever. He said when he was in bed he frequently heard distinct footsteps going up and down the landing.

A long time ago during house renovations we started to remove the old bathroom suite and walls to re-plaster. Behind the toilet was a wall and behind that it was stuffed with newspaper dated 1995. We moved in in 1989.

I went to see Public Enemy at a club in Brighton and I was right up the front, everyone was squashed forward.
Someone (male) pushed his fingers between my legs and ran them over my private parts (I had jeans on).
I turned to a sea of 'innocent' faces looking at the band.

I felt fucking sick. My blood ran cold, I couldn't believe how violated I felt, despite being clothed and it being a relatively minor thing.

I remember thinking, if it made me feel that bad, I can't imagine how horrific it must be to get raped.

I know that wasn't the kind of creepy you were after, but it was seriously fucking creepy.

@Hawkmoth I was wonder if the spinning light was an ball lightning? www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/science-innovation/2019/03/ball-lightning-weird-mysterious-perplexing-and-deadly/amp

Years ago I lost a son through stillbirth. About 5/6 years afterwards I saw a boy standing in my hallway only a fleeting glance a boy roughly the same age my son would have been had he survived
A few years later I fell pregnant with a boy and he looks exactly as that little boy was when he was standing in my hallway .

Cut off. I can’t even explain the feeling I had when she told me. I just thought, she’s right. Even though I had no reason to think I could even become pregnant again.
I also knew I was pregnant before doing the test, just knew and thought: “yes, this is what daughter said, she’s here now. Just totally calm like: this is expected.
It sounds crazy so I’ve never told anyone.

Not creepy, beautiful really, but a bit supernatural.
Between my two daughters I’d had two losses and failed multiple rounds of IVF. My daughter didn’t know about this (she was little).
One day we were both in the shower, and she was chatting away, then stopped, made intense eye contact and touched my belly and said: “that’s my baby sister in there. Well not yet, but she will be”. 2 months later I was pregnant with her baby sister.

I’ve never told anyone and I can’t explain it and the way her whole manner changed, it was really serious and then she went straight back to playing. It was like she was passing on a message from elsewhere. And she never mentioned anything again or claimed to know it was a sister the whole time I was pregnant. I can’t even explain the feeling.

I was doing a summer nanny job for a family, a single dad with 4 children. Two teenagers (one was called Rose and she'd be about 34 now) plus two younger children. We were in Cornwall on holiday in a lovely house in the middle of nowhere. One night I was looking after the little ones when the dad and teenagers went out with another family who had arrived that day, plus a teenage girl (friend of Rose) who had arrived straight from an overnight flight.

I didn't like the fact there was only one key so the door was left unlocked and went to bed early but read my book until they came home. Around 10ish I heard the front door go and heard someone come upstairs. I want scared and thought it must be Angelica (overnight flight girl) tired and come back alone. Then i thought it would be a bit weird to send a 15 year old home alone and I'd heard no taxi. Got scared then and, as I was responsible for 2 children, had to go and make sure they were ok. They were fine and I searched every room (6 bed house). Sat in my room, heart pounding, until they all came home (with Angelica!) an hour later. No idea what it was I heard but it totally sounded like door opening, closing and someone coming upstairs.

Rest of the summer was great! Lovely family, but this has stuck with me.

HELP PLEASE! Management help needed please

When I was a teenager we went abroad for the first time. We kept on seeing people who looked exactly like from grandmother. When we arrived home, my aunt was at the airport to tell us my grandmother had passed away. They didn't want to ruin our holiday. My mum was obviously devastated but remembers the holiday as one where grandmother came too

@bellabelle1994 I'm convinced he was a random coming to sexually assault me tbh

Levitating, as a child of around 10. It used to happen as soon as I got into bed so I became afraid to get into bed because I knew as soon as I lay down that I would start lifting off the bed, feet and legs first. Sometimes going quite high above the bed. Very weird and destabilising. I'd immediately grip the side of the bed to get out and once I was standing upright I was fine, and then I'd steel myself and try again. Sometimes it would take a few goes before I could just lie down and turn on my side before it happened! Not sure how long this went on, weeks or months.

I guess there's some psychological explanation possibly, but still don't have a clue why it happened. I didn't tell anyone at the time. Even now, I would love to know if anyone has an explanation for this.

@EKGEMS sorry another question! Do you think he was a doctor or just a random?

Love these threads

Oh no 100% real I have a good description of him to security as well he just knew how to escape quickly. Pretty sure he was planning to assault me but thank goodness I have a big mouth and knew as an RN something definitely was wrong

Im going back about 18 months
I was stood looking out of my kitchen window,just daydreaming when I saw a white staffie with brown/brindle markings run out of the hedge at one side-across my garden and seemed to run through the fence at the other
I ran outside-no sign of it so I put it down to being tired/eyes playing tricks on me
Anyway,I’d forgotten all about it when my son rang to tell me he’d always wanted a dog and had seen one from a rescue centre and was on his way to go get it
Again I didn’t think much to it until I met the dog a few weeks later
It was the same dog,same markings,same everything that had ran across my garden
He had been at the rescue for about 4 months so he physically couldn’t have done it but it freaked me out

I was pregnant with my son but lost his twin at ten weeks,leaving me with a very high risk pregnancy
I finally gave birth to a fine healthy boy,but for weeks we’d hear a baby crying upstairs if we where downstairs and downstairs if we where upstairs
Clear as day-we all heard it-and often my son would be either in my arms or asleep in his bouncer
No other babies in the street and it could go on for ten minutes or more,5/6 times a day so it wasn’t a mum walking past with her baby-we heard it in the house
It stopped when he was about 6 months old
He was about 4/5 when he told me ‘my twin went to go live with your grandparents-hes happy now’
We hadn’t told him at that point he was a twin

@EKGEMS was he real or a ghost do you think? that's so so scary

'Thank god'

I was in hospital (same hospital I was employed as an RN) for a nasty kidney infection and was at end of the hallway in the ward-in walked a young "doctor" very tall, rugby player build and wearing a white coat-he apologized said he was "Sorry I was expecting a 70 year old female patient" we both laugh he leaves. The next night he stops by and says "Hi" and I get a different vibe that gave me a chill but told myself I was just being paranoid, must be the painkiller. Third time the next night he comes in and his face sent me hysterical from fear and I scream bloody murder "Get out of here we both know you aren't here looking for another patient" and he runs out towards the stairwell and I unplug my IV pump and continue screaming for help, run out of my room and make a run for the nurse's station-literally met about six feet out of my room by a nurse and two other employees-I quickly tell them what happened and one ran down the stairwell and the other called security and I go sit in the station refused to return to room for a few hours. They searched high and low but couldn't locate him (numerous elevators and stairs he could access) but there was no intern or resident supposed to be there at that time coming to see anyone on my unit. Scared the hell out of me but the nurses were amazing. Was very hard to sleep that night and got discharged a day later thank hod.
