to start a new spooky thread even though it's the wrong time of year?

[SunkenDream]

Mine is not terribly exciting but it seems only polite to make a contribution

I live a few doors down from the house where I was born, very close to the village church. I grew up listening to the sound of the bells. When I moved back I was pleased to hear their familiar chimes again, until I discovered that the church had long been derelict and the clock stopped years ago.

Still, I continued to hear the bells nearly every night, until the church was finally demolished last year.

there is probably a completely rational explanation for what I was actually hearing but tonight I am living in the land of woo and whimsy

Anymore for anymore?

[Littledidsheknow]

More bumping here... was going to resurrect this thread myself!
Pleeaaase more spookiness!

[issynoho]

Really? No one has a spooky tale on this dark and stormy night?

[issynoho]

Bump Go on, it's the right time of year now...

[Snatchoo]

They are both jumpy ones Cant, so if you generally don't like those then stay away!

They do have a build up though, you know something scary is going to happen. Not like that supposed car ad where a witch face comes and screams at you

[Cantbelievethisishappening]

Snatch
Please tell me what happens in them.... will decide if I am brave enough to watch for myself

[Snatchoo]

Charlie you fucking bastard! Those videos are terrifying!

When I was 4 (I don't remember it) my dad came home and I apparently said to him: "The little boy came again today." He asked what little boy and I replied "The little boy who drowned."

Don't remember saying it but weird!!

Also have a real one from my Gran. She left my Grandad in charge of bathtime one night (who stupidly thought a 2 year old could be left unsupervised in the bath, having been a 70s dad, who was fairly absent from the nitty gritty bits of parenthood, as many dads were). He was popping in and out but then the doorbell went and he went to answer the door/have a 'quick' chat with a neighbour. My DM at that point had been poking her big toe up the tap and managed to get it stuck. And the water was deep enough that if she was lying flat, he face was underwater. So her stomach muscles must have given up holding her up at some point.

My Gran had been having a rest at this point but says she woke up in a total panic and rushed to find where my mum and uncle where in the house. She says she just knew something bad was happening. By the time she found my mum she was going blue and wasn't responsive. But obviously she lived or I wouldn't be here today.

My DM also had a vidid nightmare that a friend she hadn't seen in ages jumped off a building. He actually died that same night, though if a drug overdose.

It does all make you wonder if we can 'sense' some bad events coming, like the calm before the storm. Only sometimes. I'm not even 'woo' at all but it's food for thought!

I have one. 23 yrs ago new house. Partner left to fetch his grandad to show him. I was in main bedroom decorating. Heard old man shuffling along hall and landing. Called out a welcome and tried to open bedroom door. It was jammed. At same time could hear partner helping his grandad out of car outside. Door remained jammed until partner opened it from outside. Fast forward 4 yrs i was a single parent to 2 girls then aged 3 and 4. Prior to partner leaving we had converted loft but ran out of funds to furnish or decorate it. Anyway I saved up and decorated it for 4 year old. She never settled insisting that her bed be placed near the stairs, waking in the night etc. it was also freezing up there despite good insulation and heating. I then decorated 3 yr olds room so put both girls in loft to sleep. Middle of night much screaming from loft and when I got up the stairs both kids pointing at their bed saying 'make the man go away'. I was total sceptic so tried to soothe them until I saw indent in edge of bed which was still warm. We all ran down stairs and slept on sofa. Called local spiritualist who came and told me there was the spirit of the elderly male previous owner there (who walked with a limp and shuffled) looking out for the girls and trying to keep at bay a nasty spirit who meant harm. Was still sceptical until he started praying aloud asking it to leave. All the doors flung open and what I can only describe as a wind went through him top to toe (I saw his clothes move). The house warmed up and became peaceful. But I could never go into that loft room again and sold the house!

fluffy that's reminded me of another strange thing that happened. Many years ago I worked near Holborn. I used to do an 'early' shift, starting at 8am.
One winter morning I was coming out of the tube station, ambling along to get to our offices and was about to cross a side street. I looked along the street and noticed that there was a strange aircraft 'hovering' above the tower of a building some 500 ft or so away. Best description I can give is that it was like a black set square with a series of white lights beneath it.
As it registered with me what I'd seen (I was then looking the other way for oncoming traffic), I looked back, and it had gone.

Absolutely not a plane or helicopter.

When my Grandma died I took her cat to live with me. One evening a short while later I heard a knock at my window in my ground floor flat. That freaked me out in itself - a young woman was the other side of the window pointing to my cat inside my flat saying is that my cat, have you got my cat, quite insistent. She had a strong German accent too, and my grandma was German.

A few years later I moved to a house a few miles away with my boyfriend (now DH). The cat came with us. I put my grandma's old musical box that doubled as a clock on a shelf in my bedroom. I noticed the one morning that it was facing backwards. I turned it round and the next day it had moved again. My DH swore it wasn't him moving it and I tried shaking the shelf to see if maybe vibrations from the nearby train track had moved it but it didn't budge. I said out loud to my grandma "if that's you give me a sign". The next day another one of the ornaments that I'd got from her, a pair of glass swans, we're neatly on their side, not broken. I have never been able to explain it and nothing like it has ever happened again. I wonder if my grandma was letting me know that she was still watching the cat!

A weird thing happened today! I live rurally and today out in the car i needed to pull off the road into a field gateway so i could hop out and adjust the baby mirror on the rear passenger seat. DH stayed in the front passenger seat.

I got out of the drivers seat and as i walked quickly round the back end of the car to get to the rear passenger door i glanced up and looked into the field. It was harvested, short pale gold cut stalks all over, no more than 1 foot high. Massive field. Through the middle of the field was a dirt path. On the dirt path, about 50 meters away, were two people. Both in blue. They were walking in our direction.

I looked away again opened the rear door, did my quick twiddle with the mirror, shut the door and walked back to the drivers door. 10 seconds? 15? (I'm sitting here counting while i visualise my actions trying to work it out!)

Just before swinging into my seat i glanced up again. The people were gone. They should have been near enough to the car by then for me to have been able to make out their faces clearly. But they were just gone! I got into the car and looked past DH at the empty path and he turned to see what i was looking at. Then he said 'oh - that couple ... where did they go?'. We looked at each other. Then looked at the field again. There was no.where.at.all for that couple to have gone. Honestly. The stubble of the field was too short for them to have hidden in even if they'd thrown themselves flat on the ground for some reason, and there was nothing for them to have sprinted to to hide behind either, within 10 bloody seconds! V.odd.

more please :)

[kelper]

God I've just caught up with this thread, I've got goosebumps!

[Lacuna]

Can I just confirm that none of these creepypasta stories will have that scary face pop up halfway through reading them? Because I like being scared but the face thing happened to me about five years ago and I HAVE NEVER GOT OVER IT!

Thank you

[myotherusernameisbetter]

I had a weird out of body experience that i have never been able to explain.

When i was about 10 or 11 I went to play in the primary school playground - I was on my own but usually bumped into friends there - this was all pre mobile phones and in fact we didn't have a house phone at that point either.

Anyway, I get to the school and I can't see anyone about - I go to the senior part of the school where my classroom was which has a ground floor and two upper floors - my classroom was on the back of this building on the first floor, but the stairs run up the middle and double back and forth and there are windowns from the stair area looking back out onto the playground. For some reason that I still don't know, i went inside - I have no idea why the building was open - I went up the stairs to the 2nd floor landing and looked down into the playground to see myself looking up - I then felt myself being at the bottom looking up and switched between the two back and forth and then saw from the top, a friend arriving and I went off with her describing my experience - which of course she never believed.

I am pretty sure it wasn't a dream, I remember it vividly, but have never managed to figure it out.

I have no believe in woo either.
