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

@Jevarakh I have read that story before. Creepy pasta?

@Monster2021 oh the vaults are creepy AF

I used to sing 'Sunrise' by my Norah Jones to my bump multiple times a day when I was pregnant with my first. Her birth was awful, I ended up with injuries which over the following months my medical providers denied were there which sent me into a huge depression.

I ended up so bad one day that my DH has to call an ambulance as I was suicidal. When we arrived at the hospital I was taken into a side room, and on the nurses computer 'Sunrise' was playing. It gave me a weird sense that someone was trying to tell me they were watching out for me and things were going to be okay.

I made a full recovery in the end. Still love that song.

I went to the South Bridge Vaults in Edinburgh with my ex partner. There is allegedly a poltergeist in there. The group on the tour was small and apart from feeling uneasy we didn't notice anything untoward during the tour.

After the tour we went to Starbucks to warm up and my ex came out of the toilet and said he had marks all over his thighs. We went back to the hotel and when he took all his clothes off he was covered in scratches all 3 in a row. I took several pictures as the scratches were under his jeans and thick winter clothes so there was no way they could have happened any other way.

Sceptical the next day we spoke to the tour guide and she told us it was a regular occurance showing us pictures.

To this day I am on the fence about what happened but it was strange.

My dad wasn't one for expressing his love but a few years before he died we were at a benefit dance and we were dancing together and he told me he loved me and he was proud of me. First time that I can remember that he ever sad that out loud even tho he showed me by his actions.

Anyway the day he passed away I was at work when the call came from my mum and I left work and got in the car turned on the engine and "Dance with my father " was being played on the radio.

A couple of years later I was relaxing the story to a work colleague and as I was telling him Dance with my Father came on the radio.

Chailatteplease I think the point that ZforZebra is making is that 0411is 11 minutes past 4 (in the morning) whereas 1611is 11 minutes past 4 (in the afternoon).

They let Myra Hindley go to Butlins and play with children?! I very very much doubt that.

I did used to hear voices but that was part of anxiety and dissociation. I don't hear them often now.

This happened a few weeks ago. I had a really frightening dream. I dreamt I was in a flat and trying to keep the door closed to a predatory man. I was with a young woman (I didn’t know her) and kept saying to her ‘don’t let him in, he is not what he seems’. I woke up with my heart absolutely thumping. I got up and went to the loo and it was still thumping. Never felt so frightened by a dream.

The next morning we collected DD2 (22) from her flat as we were all going to visit a grandparent in the North West. DD2 told us she had been extremely drunk the night before and a man had tried to abduct her from a bus stop in SE London. (She reported it to the police who took it seriously).

Not sure if it was coincidence or I somehow connected with DD2 in her moment of distress.

Something really creepy has just happened.

DS has been playing up tonight and, as a result was in bed a bit later than usual. He called me a name which wasn't bad but we had words about being nice and not calling names. I left with the usual love you etc but he was a bit upset because he knew he'd not been very nice to me.

I've just been upstairs in my bedroom sorting out clothes for tomorrow, (we have 3 floors, my room is on the top floor, his is on the middle floor) and I heard him talking to my DD, I heard him say "I wasn't very nice to Mum" and DD answer back "Your OK, she isn't upset at you any more".

I came back downstairs within minutes of this to find my DS on his own in his room and DD in the lounge, there was no way she could have gotten from one to the other so fast. I went in and checked on him and he said "I've just been laid talking to Nanna"

My DM died just over a year ago!

The only thing that ever happened remotely creepy was a few days after my mother died and ds was about 9 days old
He was stirring in his cot and I was 100% awake and thinking oh please oh please go back to sleep and then I heard a loud whisper clear as day say a shortened 'nickname' version of his name. He instantly went quiet and didn't make a noise for 10 mins
It scared the shit out of me

@LouH1981 we’ve also had this happen!! Our house is over 100 years old and when my youngest has stirred in the night and I’ve woken up I’ve heard ‘shushing’. One time I woke up my dh so he could hear too. Me and my dh just stared at each other… Dd did used to go back down and it never felt at all threatening so I have to admit I didn’t mind it!! haven’t heard anything/had anything like that happen in over a year now dd is much bigger

According to Oliver Sacks, it's an auditory hallucination. Relatively common (although I've only ever met one other person who knows what I'm talking about!) and harmless but rather lovely and feel quite lucky to have them. I've sometimes wondered if I should have been some kind of musician or composer because my imaginary symphonies are really quite wonderful!

@beastlyslumber I wonder what it is? I always found it comforting

Yes exactly this!

I used to hear music all the time when I was a kid. I still do sometimes. It's always a full orchestra playing a symphony, but nothing I've ever heard before. I remember going downstairs a couple of times thinking there was a record playing or radio on, but soon realised only I could hear it. A few times it's been loud and uncomfortable, but mostly I really like it.

Not creepy, but also not a dream. Apparently it's quite common.

I know this thread is days old… but not long after my Nan died I was once laying in bed and I heard the sound of “angels” just beautiful music… but I couldn’t wake myself up.. I was only 9 so would be a strange dream to have if that makes sense? I’ve always thought it was so weird! I’ve only met one person that said something similar happened to them! Has this happened to anyone else?!

Didn't read totally true story by @Jevarakh as it's too long for my adhd brain but LOL at all the responses esp whoever copy & pasted the entire 18 pages front and back then just wrote "bollocks" 😂😂😂

@sorrymyfault that is so creepy!
