To ask what's the weirdest/strangest/creepiest thing that has ever happened to you?

As the title says...

My aunt was visiting my DPs. My DM let her in and looked out of the window, from where she saw my aunt's dog running around her car. DM asked aunt why she didn't bring the dog in with her, but my aunt said the dog had died the week before :/

Years ago me and my then bf were driving down a dark rural road when suddenly a lady dressed in a long white gown appeared right in the path of the car, bf applied brakes but we hit the figure full on as it was so close. When we hit it it was as if someone had thrown a bucket of sand over the car. We got out and nothing but a fine sand like residue was in the road. We were both really shook up, bf who thought all woo was bollocks even admitted it must've been some sort of spirit.

Anyone else got as far as pages story, read it and now will actively avoid Manningford and even through its during the day is feeling vvvv frightened.

I really don't do woo but have never been able to explain what happened just after we lost my grandad a few years ago.

He was diagnosed with cancer in October and appeared to be managing well. He was due to be let home in mid December but died very suddenly in hospital.
We really didn't feel like celebrating Christmas that year and think that we all just carried on for the others.
Mum asked if I'd baked my usual Christmas cake (normally done in October but forgotten due to the upset).
I said that I hadn't and that I wasn't going to bother. Mum replied that grandad wouldn't be happy because my cake was his favourite thing about Christmas.

That night DH was working. I was woken by a crash and an odd spinning sound. Terrified and freezing, I made my way down from our attic bedroom into the kitchen.
The kitchen was really warm and the Christmas themed tin that I always keep the Christmas cake in was spinning in the middle of the kitchen floor. It continued for a good minute while I stood watching it.

The tin had been right on top of the kitchen units which have a lip of about 5cm to stop anything from falling.
I took it to mean that grandad wanted us to celebrate and went to the supermarket for the ingredients for a Christmas cake the next day.

On Christmas Day the star wouldn't stay on the tree and kept falling, despite being up with no problems for a few weeks.
My auntie eventually said "alright dad, you've had your fun. Knock it off now" and it stopped.

I think I already shared this but can't recall. Recently my Ds had a 'bug' and was vomiting. I expected it to be a 24 hour thing and wasn't especially worried at first. However about 36 hours in my Spidey senses were tingling and I decided to take her to A and E despite her having no fever, no diarrhoea, just this vomiting. As I strapped her in the car, feeling a bit embarrassed at the decision to go to A and E, I distinctly heard a firm voice in my ear saying 'This, right now, is the decision which will save her life'.

They found out the following day that she had a total bowel obstruction which required removal of part of her intestines. It would have been fatal within 48 more hours.

Loving the woooooooooo...!
Lived on isolated farm with public footpath going straight past our front garden. My sister & I were 13 & 11, my friend also at home with us. It was winter, lots of snow. Saw a lady walk past with her dog (regularly saw her & called get 'the witch')
Decided to follow her, we go outside & follow her footsteps, which we can see due to the snow, up to woods. We keep our distance & keep seeing passing glances of her through the trees. She leaves the woods & heads back towards our house. We follow at quite a distance 75 m? All of a sudden we all sense that she is angry at us following. She turns off the public footpath & heads towards our tennis court. We continue to follow, although a bit scared!
We can no longer see her, but follow her footsteps. We go around tennis court & her footsteps just disappear! (Our big German shepherd dog starting whining...!)
We were all totally bloody freaked out!
We still have no explanation to this day!

When I was a young teenager my friend and I visited the local shops in a rough area in the evening. My friend and I just came out of the shop, when a group of slightly older girls stopped and circled us. My friend abruptly shouted RUN, she went one way and I went the other with the girls splitting up to chase us both. I rounded a corner and a voice (make for some reason) in my head told me me to stop and walk into the fish shop and tell them I'm being chased....so I did!
I stopped dead and calmly walked into the shop and told one of the men behind the counter. He said ok cockadoodledoo il take you home. The girls just stood watching from the window. He didn't ask where I lived and i never told him, but he drove me home in the shops van and left. The next day me and my parents went back to say thank you and the owner didn't know what I was talking about. No other man worked there and the van didn't leave the car park all night as he had the keys!
When the voice told me to stop I stopped feeling scared and felt so safe and calm, I would never have got in a car with someone I didn't know, but I knew with such certainty in that moment I would be safe.

I have a lot of 'day dreams' where a male voice gives me advice...I always take the advice and a crises or accident has always been averted. It also told me when I woke up one morning feeling a bit sorry for myself that I would conceive my daughter that night....I did. I never took a pregnancy test I didn't have to I trust that voice that much! I went to the dr 2 days later, they took a test even though they said it is unlikely to show anything and I was pregnant! Later on in my pregnancy the voice told me to go to the hospital beachside of my symptoms even though the midwife said it should be fine. The voice was right, me and baby could have died.

*missed out, my dh said I should take a home test but I knew I didn't have to. I told the dr I was pregnant and they thought I was daft, I wouldn't know so early and wouldn't receive midwifery support without a positive test. Begrudgingly they did one!

On the day of 9/11 I woke up with a huge feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't explain it, and it lasted throughout the day, until the awful news started coming through :-(

On the anniversary of my eleven day old nephew passing away, the magnolia tree in my front garden has a single pure white flower. It's happened every year for the last eight years, without fail. Never any sign of it the day before or the day after. When the whole tree is in flower in the spring, the flowers are cream and pink

I'm going to post something I've never told anyone in RL, mainly because I'd really love it if anyone can suggest something - though god knows what - to make this stop

After my dearly loved mum died, my father took a photo of her in her coffin at the funeral place. I hated the idea though obviously it was up to him, and I hated it still more when he gave me a copy - so I gave it to my then DH who shredded it for me

Except that it keeps turning up Admittedly not very often, but at least six or seven times over the years I've opened a book to find the same photo between the pages, or looked through some old photos to find it among them - once I even found it under a drawer liner. It's not that there's anything wrong with the photo per se, just that I much prefer my happy memories of her alive and don't feel this has any place in my life if that makes sense?

She'd never have wanted this and there seems no explanation of how or why it happens; unfortunately, at least for now, it just seems to be something I'm stuck with ...

The 2 that always got me from past threads on here are the following:

The one where the op had stayed at a farm in the middle of no where that had little guts to sleep in, her partner had got up to use the toilet and it was outside and had seen something that had terrified him but wouldn't tell the op. Turned out the story was fake but it gave me heebies

Second was the poster who thought she heard someone in the house so phoned the police and while on the phone to them the line cut out and this manic evil laugh was heard by both the op and the police that was a horrible one wonder if she will come back and retell

Bloody hell Puzzled. I don't know what to say about that. It's obviously distressing you a lot though. Did your DH definitely shred the photo for you? Is there a chance he didn't and that's why it keeps showing up? Trying to thing of rational explanations obviously, because that's not just weird it's very disturbing.

Yes runny I was there when he shredded it

Right that's another day gone! I don't do woo - another cynic here - however MrsChatty's story got me to the end as I have a similar experience and was hoping it was more common. DS2 is officially ODD! Always has been - refused to speak as a child - and when I asked him in mild frustration on his 2nd birthday if he was ever going to speak to me he put down his cake, looked up and said 'no' - and so it continued for another year or so ... Until I came home after a night out and DH was in shock - DS2 had started speaking! All about his time when he lived before - he was 19 and killed by the elephant he looked after - it was an accident during a battle! For the next year or so he would give details of three previous lives (never encouraged by us!). Got to be embarrassing - though he did tell my DGM I was the best mum he'd ever had - she laughed and asked how many he'd had before! 3 he told her! He would ask friends what had they done when they lived before and tell them his favourite life was as a soldier till he got killed! The really woo bit was we went on a school trip to Bristol zoo and the elephant came rushing over to him and stood for ages in front of him - until I took him away! All the other kids were a bit freaked - DS2 was really calm and happy - until I took him away! For years DS2 thought he was the oldest in the family because he'd lived so long ago and we hadn't !

I never encouraged his tales and tried to ignore them and eventually he stopped about 5 or 6 and has no recollection now!

At school a bell would go at 9:30 for the start of lessons after assembly. Just before the bell went one day I felt a cold shiver came over me. I turned to my friend and said "I don't feel well" and I was apparently pale white. I muddled through the morning but knew something wasn't right. At lunch time I went home and didn't go back. My mum and dad (which made me realise something had happened) walked in through the door. They told me my uncle had died (unexpectedly) of a massive heart attack ..... He died at 9:30

After my grandad's funeral I went upstairs to my DS 'room' - he was only a baby (6 weeks) and I believe that my grandad literally fought to live in order to see him. There was an overwhelming smell of lilies yet when I looked out of the window (which was open) my neighbour had a fire going

My sisters dog would often stop at my parents house, and being the pampered dog that she was she would sleep on the bed in the spare room! Not long after she had sadly died I was staying there with my DS As he was in another room I didn't have the door closed, during the night I was aware of the door 'moving' a little and felt the weight of the dog jumping on the bed and settling at my feet

Two creepy things - when I was 15 I went for a bike ride local to where I live. At some traffic lights a car pulled up beside me and the male driver asked me how old I was. I said '15' and then when the lights changed he proceeded to follow me. I got really freaked out and took some judicious shortcuts home.
In my 30s I was on the tube in London, just me and a lone male in the carriage. I was standing near the door holding on to the upright post, and became aware that he had moved to the seat on the other side of the pole. He then put his hand on the pole, with his little finger touching my little finger. I got off next stop and caught another train.
urgh!

What is it about things appearing on the kitchen floor? Someone/thing clearly wants these items to be seen.

My woo story happened just last week. Every night I read a couple of bedtime stories to my 3yo dd in our bed. This particular night, mid-story, she suddenly stopped chattering and stared at the corner of the room by the door. I asked her what she was looking at and she said 'the fog, the fog that lives in our house' feeling a bit of a chill down my spine I asked her if it was a friendly fog and she said 'no it's a little bit scary' ...... Took me 10 mins to muster up the courage to walk past said corner and go downstairs!

The face i can't even call it a face that appeared behind me in the bathroom mirror at my parents house when I was 17

No, no, no! Why do I read these threads? All these woo things that happen to people, I tell myself, they can't happen to me for whatever reason, (I don't live in a house etc ), but I look in the mirror everyday.

The episode of Dick van Dyke, where there is a haunted mirror, still freaks me out. I remember climbing onto my grandmother's lap when I saw that, at the age of 5, I was so terrified.

Have put this on this site before....at uni i awake in my room in halls (no alcohol) to see a man with red eyes looking at me. I didnt feel he meant we harm but i slept with the lights on that night. He disappeared about 1 minute after i turned the light on. Please note he was there for one minute when the lights were on!!!!

if i throw a few swear words in will it stop the daily mail grabbing it? i dont want to offend any family and its quite recognisable.

That reminds me. At uni I woke up after a heavy night of drinking, and saw the grim reaper standing in the corner of my room.

I'm assuming I was probably still drunk, but still terrifying!

I very much doubt this is the thread the daily mail would be hunting through...

Place marking

heavenly I've heard someone else have the same "visit from deceased dog" experience. He'd been a young army recruit and his dog pined away and died. Once when he was back home, he felt his dog settle on his bed - I think he said he'd seen the dip in the covers too & was freaked out.
