Or do we all need another Wine? I just find it all fascinating.

june - I'm the pushed down my shoulders poster too! That is just how I feel "it". Hands on shoulders!

Here's another one she and I shared!

She had this boyfriend who lived in a basement flat of an old converted Victorian house. The flat has this little door in the bedroom, like a sort of space, we never wanted to find out to what.

Anyhow, my mate, P, never liked that place or that door. She said she'd dream it was open or dream of a boy inside it. She was glad when he decided to move out.

Well, I went over there to help them clean it out so he could get his deposit back.

She was doing the hoovering. We ran out of cigarettes, so the boyfriend and I decided to walk to a nearby Spar-type shop to get some more.

When we got back, she was on the porch.

She'd been hoovering the bedroom and the hoover kept cutting out, but it was still plugged in.

The third time it did that, she turned to the socket, and the little door was standing open, too.

She bailed.

Come to find out, the original owners of the mansion had a son who was obviously disabled in some way and shut him up in that space for who knows how long till he died.

Alright, that's it, you've done it. Expat, here NOW. You are coming to the toilet with me or I am going in the sink!

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 17/06/2011 23:55

On a serious note, how awful for that poor disabled little boy. No wonder the presence was still felt there. That's very sad.

expatinscotland · 17/06/2011 23:55

Fuck, TakeMeHome! I hate dolls!

junecarter · 17/06/2011 23:56

gosh how scary...would love to hear the uncut version..ha ha...
expat, freaky story..
I have had that feeling on at least 2 occasions but not really spooky just weird..(was too lazy to look back and see who posted it)

expatinscotland · 17/06/2011 23:57

I hate mirrors in front of beds or mirrored wardrobes.

I used to have a mirror in front of my bed and one night I woke and there was my dead mate.

I know he didn't mean to scare me. He came up and stroked my arm and then got up and faded away in that mirror.

He never came back, but I never had a mirror in my bedroom again, either.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 17/06/2011 23:58

Not really an uncut version just more of the same kind of incident. It still scares me to this day. Everytime I walk in a charity shop (and those places are full of those bloody dolls!) I get a shiver. It is one of the reasons I won't buy an ornament or such from a 2nd hand shop, nothing to do with snobbery, it is just that!

june - where have you been when you have had that feeling?

expatinscotland · 17/06/2011 23:59

My folks belong to Knights of Columbus. They're very active in it.

They hired two blokes to install some new carpet in the hall and they were doing it at night, so they were locked in.

They both reported hearing the sounds of partying - glasses clinking, laughing, voices, music.

In the women's loos there was also the ghost of a woman, the wife of a member who'd killed herself, apparently.

Last thread we had like this really shit me up. Someone came and old about a time her and her boyfriend were walking in a moonlit field and some big werewolf thing was stalking them.

devientenigma · 18/06/2011 00:00

we have cctv hooked to a recorder upstairs in the bedroom. we live in a rough area. One night about midnight me and dh were bored so we decided for a laugh we would watch the drunks via the cctv, when 2 shadows went past, they were really long and skinny and thats not as extreme as they looked. We laughed, I jumped up from bed to look outside, but no one was there. TBH they looked like something from an alien book. However it was strange.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:02

Ah I fall down at the werewolf thing. I would be inclined to think beast of bodmin or some such :-)

expatinscotland · 18/06/2011 00:03

A work colleague used to buy houses to do up and sell for profit, as a sort of hobby.

But she was living in one once and it wasn't long before she realised she wasn't alone.

Anyhow, she finally saw him one night, at the top of the stairs, solid as you or me, a young man in sort of lumberjack clothes.

She told him she was there to turn the place back to its former glory so as to make it a good family home again so she'd appreciate it if he stopped scaring her.

And he did.

HowlingBitch · 18/06/2011 00:03

I have been reading this thread trying to keep up! Gosh some of these stories are amazing. TMHID could I ask what happened with the ouija board? Or any one else who has used them? I have always been to terrified to even try and I don't even know what could happen!

OP posts:
VivaLeBeaver · 18/06/2011 00:03

But it was walking upright and about eight foot tall.

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:03

devientenigma - when you see something/someone on a camera or indeed cctv it can look distorted. Not human. Probably is. Well, was Smile

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:04

Viva - if I respond to that in the way that I want to, people will DEFO run past by posts screaming CRAZY LADY CRAZY LADY! and none of the other boys and girls will play with me!

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 18/06/2011 00:05

MY posts not BY posts Blush

VivaLeBeaver · 18/06/2011 00:05

No we on. Please if you know something tell me. I really have been freaked for the last year over that story.

expatinscotland · 18/06/2011 00:06

Ouija boards are just BAD.

Okay, this is way way way way back, but it sure did put my auntie off using them.

They were fooling around on it.

When she asked, 'Who killed John F. Kennedy?' (like I said, this was way back).

It spelled out, 'Devil did it,' and that was the ouija board into the fire!

devientenigma · 18/06/2011 00:06

the reason I know it's a troubled spirit dead or alive is........we done a few, months after I lost a baby, everything that was asked what I thought was spelt out.
Also when my mam done one of hers, at the time there was someone going round killing woman, the spirit they got told everything plus more when it was all revealed.

expatinscotland · 18/06/2011 00:06

Oh, believe me, I won't think you're crazy! :)

MumblingRagDoll · 18/06/2011 00:07

I used to work in a medieaval church which had been converted into a museum and sitting among all of the meorial slabs and angels on a dark winters afternoon was quite hairy at times. I used to smell a very odd scent...it was strong and herby ...not like anything I have ever smelled before....I thought it was some kind of old perfume...it smelt like you'd imaging perfum might smell in the 16th century tbh. It was always when there was nobody about too.

VivaLeBeaver · 18/06/2011 00:07

There were a few werewolf posts. Someone else here told about a farmer they knew who sat up waiting to catch something that was attacking the sheep and it was a big fucking werewolf.

HowlingBitch · 18/06/2011 00:07

I just went very pale... Is that really true expat?
