Cue spooky music...

Is there anything you've read on here that's stuck with you, or you'd like to get to the bottom of?
I'd like to know what happened to the two Microsoft laptops which were delivered to a MN's daughter I think a week or two ago?
Also the woo one about the missing clock chains.

What are your unsolved MN mysteries?

I still (against my better judgement) want to know about the dreadful Ginny!

Me too...

DeCaray · 11/09/2024 16:06

The large paintings under the old bed and her and her husband didn't know how they got there as the bed was Jewish or so thing like that.

DeCaray · 11/09/2024 16:06

The bed was newish not Jewish!

That's a whole new thread about Jewish beds!

I hope the woman who found a ring and went on holiday with her teacher husband was proposed to eventually.

I'm pretty sure he did propose- OP updated on another thread, he proposed in the pool near the end of the holiday if it's the one I'm thinking of.

Yes me too!!

Definitely the disappearing ironing board one, and I see I'm not alone in that! 😂

cjcghana · 11/09/2024 16:34

Ironing board disappearance for me too

Spooky garden music thread

Eh? What?

Not you garden. A thread about an OP who kept hearing spooky music in her garden, complete with mp3 clip. Went on for a while and then ended with a very odd deletion message along the lines of 'OP has asked for this to be deleted, as has discovered something not so much supernatural but incredibly sad'

ForPearlViper · 11/09/2024 16:36

Did the mysterious tunnel in cellar one ever conclude?

dontforgetme · 11/09/2024 16:37

@GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut I genuinely think about this way too much!!

flawedbutterflies · 11/09/2024 16:37

I often wonder about ghostspirit. Does anyone remember muilplemama ? ended up being a lie but often wonder why she lied so much

Ineedwinenow · 11/09/2024 16:40

There was a poster who owned a grandfather clock and the chains from it went missing, ( or something along those lines) wonder if she ever got to the bottom of it

Plus another poster on the feminist board who had an issue with a new trans colleague who used to take tampons from the ladies loo ( that he? obviously didn’t need) her and her colleague used to buy for themselves, the boss and workplace sounded completely toxic and I hope she’s doing ok and did she leave like she was hoping to ?

wickerlady · 11/09/2024 16:40

What happened to the woman who was trying to get the crows to forgive her?

NotEatingApples · 11/09/2024 16:41

This reply has been deleted

Withdrawn at the poster's request

Me too. I hope she's OK.

I don't even remember this post, but I must have subconsciously taken it in because DH walked close to a crow the other day and I told him not to frighten it or upset it because it would remember forever and keep attacking him! 😂

wickerlady · 11/09/2024 16:42

Or the couple with the newly acquired allotment that was already occupied by Babs!

This one! She was so excited and it was really sweet and funny but the thread got derailed by idiots and we never got the ending. I'm dying to know for sure he did propose!

wickerlady · 11/09/2024 16:45

Haha @PfishFood I have a bag of seeds on my desk at work that I feed them in the hope they don't take a dim view of me!

WeeOrcadian · 11/09/2024 16:45

That goddamn ironing board. It keeps me awake at night.

EmeraldRoulette · 11/09/2024 16:47

Babs and the allotment, and the tunnel one....now I'm wondering that too.

the ironing board is not one I know. Nor a lot of the others which is good as apparently I'm not spending as much time here as I feared 😂

Oh yes! I remember that one, and the deletion message 🤔

HowDairy · 11/09/2024 16:50

Oh now I need links to the disappearing ironing board and the spooky garden music threads please!

Am I dreaming but was there one about a noise of an ice cream van that a family kept hearing inside their house? If that was mumsenet, did we get to the bottom of it?

YesitsBess · 11/09/2024 16:52

@Atstitch yes there was. Never resolved and I am on there querying whether there is a supernatural Mr Whippy.

I love a bonkers woo thread I do.

MindTheGap099 · 11/09/2024 16:52
