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

Oh cath :(

My house is haunted. The only person who believes me is my neighbour. He works with CCTV at nights and has seen very weird things in the area. Ghosts come in weirdest shapes.

I dreamt when I was 14 that my then boyfriend and my dad were fighting a duel to the death, in which both of them died. It was really vivid and horrible, I woke up shaking.

Within a few years they both separately died awful and violent deaths

I has a holiday thing with a guy years ago. We tried to carry it on back home (lived opposite ends of country) but fizzled out quickly. Our families often went on hol same time same place so the last time we spoke, agreeing to call it off, I said 'oh well, if you're going to xxx next year, let me know'. Months and months later I was walking down the street and suddenly thought totally out of the blue 'x has called me.' * When I got home my mum said 'oh x called for you'.

*days before mobiles, obv!

My sister had a dream one night that our deceased mum had come back, it properly freaked her out as she never has dreams like this. I phoned sister at 7am that morning to tell her that my 3 year old daughter had died in the night. We like to think that mum came to collect her.....

For many years, I suffered recurrent nightmares - the jolting awake shaking sort - that I drove into the back of a car.

Three years ago did exactly that, hospitalised but ok now.

When I was about 8 and lived in Spain, my brother and I found the body of a huge great big dog-like creature. Except it definitely wasn't a dog as it was too big and it had a massive jaw it was completely black. We had dogs of our own so we knew it wasn't a dog, and the part of Spain we lived in (an island) doesnt have wild Bears or wolves.
We poked it a bit with sticks and decided to go tell an adult. We did but no one believed us and wouldn't come and see. When we went back, there was nothing there other than a big bit of flattened grass.

OK now I'm googling that news bulletin, and your Dad and the bloke from the band weren't the only ones who saw the earlier bulletin.

A former boss told me this true story.

His dad was very ill, dying at home and all the family had gathered for his last days and hours. Dad was deeply unconscious.

Late one evening their dad's eyes opened and he said, clear as day, "Wait for me, Cushtie" then closed his eyes and died.

Family were naturally saddened etc, and a little confused by his last sentence, however, Cushtie was a local name in their parts and while they didn't know one, they presumed it had been an old school friend or something that dad had referred to.

Five days later they were at the crematorium, which had a notice board with the order of cremations for the day, and the one before their dad was a Mr Cushtie. They asked the crem staff to check, and it turns out Mr Cushtie - who they did not know and who lived on the other side of the county - died one minute before their dad.

The two most important men in my life have both missed major disasters... my dad who came through kings cross, just before the fire took hold...he must literally have passed over it smouldering.

And then Dp, was booked onto the herald of free enterprise...but missed it as he decided to stay for an extra pint

Not me but my gran has a freaky one. She woke up in a real panic that something awful had happened to my granddad with no explanation for her feelings. She got my mum and uncle out of bed at 3am, got them dressed and ready to go out and then the phone rang to say that my granddad had been in an accident at work - a piece of machinery had lost control, crushed him against the wall and broken his back.

She says she has no idea what happened that night but she just knew something awful had happened.

I was walking a dog (on a lead) into a field a couple of years ago, when a massive black cat ran from a bunch of low bushes in front of me and disappeared into some trees. It was definitely a cat because of the way it moved - totally unlike the way a dog runs, but it was the size of a large labrador. It was in a fairly built up area in broad daylight as well. No-one ever believes me when I tell them.

My dad has always maintained that he saw a newsflash at lunchtime about a factory fire in Flixborough. Hours later the Flixborough a Chemical factory exploded killing 28 people .

Apparently Reg Presley of the Troggs saw it too and it led to him spending the rest of his life investigating the paranormal.

As a student I was staying at my mum and her DP's house. I'd decided DP was a jerk and whilst I was having a shower, in a bizarre attempt to annoy him, I wished that the shower would just stop working.

It just stopped working whilst I was stood user it! They had to replace it

Aww, I love the friendly mole!!

I was eating out at a very swanky restaurant, went for a pregnant pee (had only a tiny pee and a bit of loo roll) and when I looked down in the toilet bowl there was a wriggling worm. Visions flashed through my brain that it had come from me, the baby had worms, that the person before me had serious gut problems and so on. I very quickly flushed the toilet in panic/stress.

Put me right off my posh meal, funny that. Didn't say anything to anyone because I couldn't understand what the fuck had just happened. I think most likely it was dodgy plumbing. But it was live? When I googled water worms they look far more eel like than this one did.

@ lumpen
I mean the event that led up to it.

The first time I saw DH, he was walking down the other side of the road and i was coming out of the shopping centre. I thought out of the blue 'There is my husband'.

I never forgot him, although we had not met. 6 months later, his wife had left him, my partner had left me and we were introduced at the pub. I moved in with him the next day,. :)

What do you mean a one off arty?

Oh I have another one, I love this one and Ive told it on here before.

I was in Thailand and rather than go 'travelling' I found one island and one bar and a group of friends and just stuck with them for a few months it was amazing.

After about 2 months I went down to the beach as I did every night and sat with a beer waiting for people to start turning up. I looked up at the bar and thought, Ive been here every night and Ive never seen or heard any of those coconuts fall on the bar roof (I was either working in or sat at the bar every night) and in that very second a coconut fell down, landed on the wood with this almighty smashing sound. Everyone crapped themselves. Wtf are the chances of that? I felt like my thought brought it down! I know it didnt but I still smiled to myself at my power of bringing down a coconut.

When the vicar asked 'does anyone know of any reason as to why these two people here present should not be married....etc......

I stood up and said............... yes......

....but I cannot tell the rest of it on here as it's a total one off!!!!!

Ooo...Queiro - I've had this too! A few years ago, I went through a phase of waking up at 1:06 every morning. It got to the point where I would not look at the ock as it was freaking me out. except when i would wake up, I would lie there for a whe waiting for 1:06 to pass before looking at the clock - but however long I waited, when I looked at the clock it was 1:06!! I actually then put something in front of the clock so that I couldnt see it, it freaked me out that much. Nothing happened at 1:06 though, so far anyway...

When I was a kid, I remember travelling in the back of the car with my parents. We were approaching a roundabout. I looked at the roundabout and I KNEW something was going to happen. Low and behold, someone rear-ended the car. No one believed me though.
