Do you have a 'nobody would EVER believe me' story? No matter the subject or how daft, unreal it seems, please share :)

One day when I was 3 and at play school my dad was supposed to pick me up as my mum had a dental appointment .

My dad forgot about me and in the middle of getting a filling my mum up and left the dentist as she had a feeling something was wrong , strange!

My granny with dementia also asked my mum if I was pregnant last year. I was only a few weeks and hadn't told anyone except my mum and dad .

haha bum you made me think of one there. I was in the shower one day about a year ago, washing my bits when I felt something sharp-ish at my bum, through the soap bubbles. I pulled it out (sorry tmi! !) and it was a 3 inch long blade of green grass. Wtf?? told my husband and he asked if I'd been sitting out the back garden. eh, what, naked in Scotland, in the cold??? nope.

I once saw a subliminal advert on TV when I was child before they were banned. Watching an advert for something else when suddenly the Abbey National logo and branding flashed on screen for a millisecond. None of my family saw it (well they did but didn't register it). No-one believed me. A few years later I read something in media trade press about subliminal adverts being banned and I realised that I wasn't crazy and that I had seen one.

JoanHickson - I had never dreamt about Princess Diana before, nor since.

I'm loving this thread although there are some very sad stories on here.

aurorasky that really made me laugh!

you stayed there a week

good grief

We stayed in a haunted house in rural France. 15th cent falling down chateau dh, my parents and dd1 (a baby) rented the old counting house. Very beautiful but basic in a French way. Dh and I woken every night by loud banging and crashing in the kitchen sounded like all the cupboard doors being opened and closed really loudly. When we went down no one was there. It happened most nights. Place was rural and no one else there.dh suggested rats in a half hearted way but how could rats slam cupboards? Also we heard nails scraping down our first floor bedroom window.

Dh and my parents scoffed at me being scared but none of them could offer any sort of explanation. Was so glad to leave when week was up.

I got bitten On the chest by a spider on my wedding day. It got infected, and I had a massive scab. When it finally healed the scar left is a perfect heart shape.

I was born in a 'true caul'...google it...my DM said it was like an electric blue hairnet over my face...It is said that 'caul bearers' have sixth sense but I have never claimed that although I have had some spooky incidences. I was 7 when my DM 'died' whilst giving birth to my DB...years later when I was older she said she had to have a whole body transfusion and her heart stopped a few times...she survived but was very ill for months..I lived with an Aunt...anyway I had a dream were my DM and I were crossing a rope bridge and it had a large hole...I went 1st and as my DM followed she fell..I had hold of her hand but she was slipping...I managed to pull her up...my Dad woke me from this dream...apparently I was crying out when he woke me...to find out I had another brother...I was devastated as wanted a sister...I vividly remember the dream and being woken...

I saw a ghost when I was driving a bit silly...late and only just passed my test...it was a warning and years later a medium described my Guardian Angel...him to a T.....

Living abroad we had a strange open fire...sitting around one day with Boss I just had a strange thought about this fire...I went to get a coathanger which I wrapped around the door handles...seconds later the whole fire collapsed and all the burning logs fell forward and would have fallen on to the carpet if I hadn't have made it secure...That's because being born in a caul means I will never drown so I have always been wary of fire...

I'm a bit wtf for you, Blackheart!

I found out today that my mum was shagging my primary school teacher behind my dads back... He could be my biological father too.

OK its not woo or anything but I'm a bit wtf

At senior school one of my friends told us that her aunt had had a baby boy the night before, and that we wouldn't believe what they'd called it. She hadn't mentioned before to anyone that her aunt was even having a baby, so no one knew anything.

As my friend opened her mouth to say the name I said it out loud - and was right !! It's a really unusual name, is now and certainly was then (late 80's).

To this day I have no idea how that name popped into my head. It really freaked us all out, my friend looked at me as though I was possessed !!

I liked sewing when I was younger and decided to make a blouse sleeveless. I unpicked one arm and then started to un pick the other. I put the blouse down. A couple of days later I started to unpick again when I noticed the sleeve had been sewn up. You could see different thread where this had happened. I've never been able to explain it.

I also agree about animals knowing. I had my 2 beautiful cats before I met DH, so for the first few years it was just them and me. Then I met DH and had a family, life moved on but the bond with my cats was still there.

DH told me that about 5 minutes before I got home the cats would get up from wherever in the house they had been sleeping and congregate on the windowsill to look out for me coming home. This was the case even if I was coming home at an unexpected time.

Appropriate name then Bum

I have a slightly weird coincidence. Exact names and dates changed but my Dbil is called Henry James and his birthday is June 1st and my godson is called Henry James and his birthday is June 1st.

Totally agree about the animal senses thing. My parent's dog always knew when my dad was on his way home because he'd start to whine at the door. Sure enough within a few minutes my dad's car would come up the drive. It wasn't always exactly the same time either.

My dog does a similar thing. Just before sixish every evening he will come and sit in the kitchen and stare at me. He's saying it's dinner time, feed me. What was funny was when the clocks went back. He did his following me round the kitchen thing at five in the afternoon. I told him to sod off, I wasn't feeding him that early.

Many years ago I asked my then boyfriend what the time was. He replied 2.30. Oh! I said, time for the dentist (tooth hurty, get it?). He jumped up and muttered about missing his appointment. Turned out he had forgotten he had a dental appointment at yes, 2.30 that day.

Oh and he was furious that I'd been reading his diary, or else how would I have known. I kept having to repeat it was a JOKE aaaaaargh.

Well this maybe different to some of the other ones...

When I was younger, me and my DM used to go through my clothes to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. So I'd strip off naked and keep trying things on. At one point, I sat on the bed, and I kid you not, the curly end of the coat-hanger went right up my bum! I stood up and ran about a bit with it lodged up there, til my mum got it out. No (physical) damage was done.

My DH says this is such a far-fetched story he doesn't believe it really happened.

I'm not sure how the curly end got into my bottom, seems the wrong shape, but it did!

A couple of years ago I had a mmc and on the way to the scan I just had this horrible feeling it was bad news. Dh was all excited about how we were going to announce it but I just felt really nervous, not like I had with dd. obviously it was bad news and we picked ourselves up and carried on and started to ttc again. The moment I conceived ds I knew, I felt the implantation. Then after the security scan a few weeks later I called my mum to tell her the news. She asked when it was due and I said 21st but it'll be the 17th. I mentioned this several times during my pregnancy and sure enough I was awoken at 4am on 17th with a flood of waters. Ds was born a few hours later a year to the day from my mmc scan.
I don't mean to say I think it's some woo reincarnation or anything, more that I willed it. It's like it was the perfect way to close the door on that hurt.

Once when living in Eastbourne, I popped out to the shops quite late (it was dark and deserted) and the entire pavement of the whole road was covered in frogs. Fuck knows why I carried on walking and didn't run home screaming - I hate frogs.

In the summer holidays my family went away to Wales from our home in Kent. We climbed Mount Snowden and went into the cafe at the top. In said cafe was my classmate and neighbour from three door down with his family. We polite waved hello to each other as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

I moved into my brothers bedroom after he left home. The room felt unbelievably creepy and used to freak me out. It felt like eyes were watching me. I was convinced there was something possessed in the room. I later found a cassette tape in a stuck bedside table draw and threw it out. The weird feeling disappeared. I mentioned this to my brother who used to have the room and he told me he also used to feel the eyes watching him, and one night felt hands around his throat

I love threads like this

My one and only reading with a medium. I was 21 and the only details I had given prior was my first name.

Walked in the room and the first thing the lady said was " oh my darling, you're so young to have lost both your mum and your dad" Her next sentence was "daddy's been gone ever such a long time and Mum only ever wanted him"

My dad died when I was 9 months old and mum when I was 20. Mum never so much as went on a date with another man.

Still gives me goosebumps when I think of how that lady knew.

when the tsunami was happening I dreamt about it. I was under murky water with debris floating above me, I could see the sun shinning and I knew I was somewhere hot. I could see seaweed, broken wood, the water was moving fast and other people trying to swim to the surface

my dad was caught up in it (thankfully he was ok) in sri lanka this happened while I was dreaming

I was eating chips outside a chippie in Borehamwood with my sister when (the late) Mike Read (Frank Butcher from Eastenders) walked past us and told us that we'd get fat if we sat about all day eating chips and winked at us (I was a tiny 7 and half stone!)

Dh has seen discs in the sky for years over local woods, both seen big cats.

One night dcat came in properly spooked and we joke the big cat chased him.

One Sunday morning dcat flew off my lap while he was fast asleep, horizontally, and was placed on to my dressing gown. Luckily dh saw it too because I wouldn't believe me either.

Dparents house is haunted.
