What is the strangest thing that has happened to you?

here it is!!!

oh i remember that too!

Who was the MNer who had a face at her window on Google StreetView?

urghhh stripey, where had they come from?!

Who ever had the face at the window story, we had the same at our house only 6/7 people saw her, we pulled up at the housend one of us said 'loook' everyuone looks up to window to see a fae with a bright yellow top on pressed against the window.

we had nets so could not see a face.

my dad freaks goes inside andgets a bat( ) runs upstairs and theres no one in the house!!

I remember that stripey ...

About a year ago when I'd got out the shower. Put my PJs on anc came downstairs and sat at the dining room table MNing and felt something roll down my back, inside my PJ top. It was a £1 coin, 2 minutes later there was another.

yes - MNHQ - i think this should go in classics too!!

great thread, keep them coming x

I had my ds on my mother in laws birthday he was not due for 3 weeks,this to me is spooky or maybe a consindence?.

When I was younger I used to see ghosts they would come and visit me,they still do this is one example.

Had my son, my granddad died a long time ago, well I was thinking about him after the birth of my son. I remember being sad that he was not around to see my son,I feel asleep and was woken to my son crying, I suddenly felt a presence,it was my grandad he came to see him and suddenly my son just stopped crying, I knew it was him.

I have loads of stories but maybe another time,great thread by the way op.

I beg of someone to ask MN to put this in classics - it's too too good to be gone soon...

Oh yeah, forgot one... when i was pregnant with dd i was lying down in bed one day and heard dp get a phone call, something terrible had happened to his sister. I fell asleep while he was still on the phone. WHen i woke up i went out to him and asked him what had happened to his sister and he just looked blankly at me, he hadn't had any phone call at all that day, much less one about his sister.

That evening he got the call; she'd been hit by a motorbike and her pelvis was crushed as well as multiple other injuries.

I have lots.

On my 17th birthday as i was getting dressed to go out i had an image flash in front of my eyes so strongly i fell down and felt like i couldn't breathe. The image was of my pants covered in blood and a knife in someones hand. That night i had my face sliced open with a stanley knife by a drugged up bitch in the club and there was a pattern of blood on my pants just like i had seen. Also quite odd was that 2 minutes before it happened i had had a fiver in my pocket, no other money. When my mother emptied my pockets the next day i had over 40 euros in them!

I've flown hundreds of times in my life, never bothered me at all... except twice when i stepped on the plane and felt utter terror. The first time our plane went on fire, the second time was 9/11 which happened as we were in the air.

A woman with a white van tried to abduct me in Germany in 1989.

Also in Germany i woke up one night to find my bed surrounded with people, six of them in their twenties, one had a baby. One spoke to me and I dived under the covers and one of the women said 'You frightened her' When i crept out from under the covers they were gone. My mother reckons they were my guardian angels

I've broken my ear

When i lived in a houseshare with friends the house was haunted. There would be footsteps and slamming doors from upstairs when we knew no-one was there, a presence in rooms with us and one night as i was getting dressed for work i left my brush down next to me, when i reached down to get it 10 seconds later it was gone and was all the way across the room on the dresser... lots of other re-arranging but that was the only time i could prove that there was no innocent explanation.

LongTallJosie could trhe 2 girls be relations with a family resemblance and a family name?
My sis and my first cousin have often been mistaken for twins and both share my grans name as their middle name.

Longtalljosie your post made my blood run cold; a similar thing happened tome! The details are really sketchy though.
I moved schools, and this girl was at the new school too, and I'm sure in a different year. She was adamant it wasn't her, but I didn't talk to her much She was really offish iirc.
She had bobbed brown hair, and i think a duffel coat. I think she was called Claire, but then everyone was in those days!

I thought she was odd and avoided her. Put it out of my mind 'till now!

Ok, strangest thing, when I was about 8 my two stepbrothers, sister and I were in a park in Midhurst when we saw a flying saucer.
It was flying v.low and making a whirring noise.(A bit like the tardis.) It flew slowly across the park, which was flanked by tall trees.
It was a really cliched looking UFO. Round with blinking lights, portholes and a hatch at the bottom.
We ran to where our parents were sitting in the car, watching us. They hadn't seen anything.

That was strange in itself, but a few years later, my sis & I were discussing it with DSBs. She remembers it as clearly as I do,in minute detail, (eg that we were on a roundabout, the colour of the lights etc) but they don't remember a thing!

When I was pregnant with DD1 we told my nephew and he said 'oh good a girl'
When I was pregnant with DD2 his little sister said 'Oh good a girl'.
When I told them both I was pregnant agin they just looked stumped so I guess this is a boy.

Ny nephew also used to talk to my DD1 through my belly button

Actually I'm going to PM them on facebook and ask if they remember!

I also saw the ghost of a little girl in my room when I was doing my homework, well her feet,

i was lay face down on the bed reading and writing and i looked forwards off the beed onto the floor to see two smallfeet and ankles with a long white dress skimming the knees and calfs, i jumped up but she was gone.

It didn't scare me though, for some reason I felt she was called 'Emily' and our whole family talked to her regularly.

When we moved and the house was being knocked down I amde a point of telling her about it os she could go somewhere else

I love these threads, I really do, when I was younger and less of a wimp I would finf paranormal books at the library and charity shops, aliens, ghosts, unexplained things... I strongly feel thgeres many, many things going on in this world we just don't understand!

One of the spookiest things ver is that me and several friends when we were about 12 decided to do an ouiji board.

We made one and took it t the back of a pub, not much happened, so we went to my nans,

she didn't know what we were doing, she would have killed us!!

We went into te spare bedroom and sata round it there was 3 of us, we each had a finger on the cup and were basically pissing around, it was moving but it was us pushing it iykwim, we were asking for 'elvis' to come through and generally being daft.

Then one of our friends said something ...

she said that she was going to ask for her Aunt who had died a few months or years before to come through.

So she said 'aunty xooxox' are you thre, come speak to us, (or something similar)

and I swaer to god ... the lights flashed on and off and my grans little tv came on and the video player ejected a video.

i swear to you, all in a split second after she said it,

we shit ourselves and ran downstairs into the garden crying!

ooh i don't want to be alone...

These are weird - especially LongTallJosie

I assume your theory is that you dreamed the earlier (telling off) meeting after you had the 'second' meeting? Problem with that is you knew her name before she told you...

Mine aren't like this - I was at my aunt's with my dad when I was quite young and suddenly had a sensation that something was wrong. 10 mins later we had a phone call to say my mum had been in a car crash - luckily she was fine as was the other driver.

A friend of mine recently learned that someone called up her mum and step dad and told them she was pregnant - she wasn't and they have no idea who it was.

And a stupid one - I once called my mum and for some reason decided there was a problem on the line. conversation went like this:

me "CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
her "YES I CAN HEAR YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
"I CAN HEAR YOU, WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?"
"LOOK YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T HEAR ME, I'LL CALL YOU BACK"

...

"That's better"
why neither of us realised i'll never know

Cyteen that is a fabulous description. I especially identified with the sensation of turning your head and being unable to gain a sense of perspective. I always felt that I was looking at the huge whale out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned my head towards it properly it would swoosh in and out of focus.

actually really nightmarish, and I didn't sleep well at all last night thnking about it!

sorry my keyboard is crap.

i also used to try and open my bedroom door when little but i would be tiny and couldn't reach.

it must have been dreams but then i would wake up next morning near the door,

so strange!

OMFG!!!

I ma freaked out now!!

CYTEEN i used to get that when little!!

I would wake up feeling all hot and my thumbs would be massive!

They would feel huge and Heavy!

and i used to be trying to get to my bedroom door but i would be walking over huge cogs from inside a clock, all moving and clicking!

It seemed so real.

Something happened to me similar, latetly.

I woke up I must've had a fever and my head literally pounding... i felt like i owed thousands of pounds to someone and everysecond it was doubling.

I was thinking 'how will i pay it back'

I was fully awake and wandering round the bedroom, i felt like i wanted to start screaming but if I did then i would go mad?!

i really think tats what its likeo go insane, i went to the batroom and manageto wadeowstairs

as soon as i walkedihe livinroom and saw DH I snapped outof it nd colla[sed in tears,

its like i wasin some weird dam state.

it was the most frightening thing ever

I've got another wierd one,

DH and I were stood in the kitchen and the kids were in the livingroom, my DH is called adam, clear as ANYTHING we BOTH hear someone shout

'Adam?' in the living room it sounds exactly like DHs mum,

we both run in to find no one there apart from the kids,

immediatly DH picks up his phone to call his mum. as he dials she pulls up in the car outside!!

I was so weird, it as her voice! it was her!

Cyteen

In the Pink Floyd song 'Comfortably Numb' there is a similar description

"When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons"

Wonder if Roger Waters had the same experience??

Sometimes I have flashbacks, I don't recall the events but I know its something that has happened iynwim? Its horrible - it makes me go hot and it feels like I'm going to be sick. It feels like a panic attack and I have to sit down, its always the same, I see people in white coats and the same names going round in my head.
