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

[fruitysmoothie]

As the title says...

I worked in a nursing home and one night was having a gossip with another carer and told her that when I was a child I used to hear a rhythmic talking in my room which would mimic me singing.
So, I'd sing "la la la" and the tapping would go "tap tap tap"
Suddenly the tapping started in the room we were in. It seemed to be coming from the pipes which rang along the outside wall of the entire building.
We tested it out with tapping in the pipes and each time it was repeated back in the same rythym.
We checked all the rooms along that wall (about 10 rooms) but they were all empty cos the residents were having dinner downstairs.
Very weird.

Just thought of another.

I grew up in a village and often went for walks in the woods with my family. One day my dad and I ventured a little further than we had before - I'd have been about 10 I guess. We crossed a small bridge over a stream and I remember there was a fallen tree ahead of us covered in purple moss. I started to get a really, really strong feeling of unease, as if something was really wrong. I told my dad how I was feeling. It lingered with me until we'd walked away from the area, probably for about 5 minutes.

I didn't think about it again until we were walking in the woods again a few weeks later. We'd gone in a completely different direction and I had no idea where we were, just happily wandering and chatting. I suddenly started to get the horrible feeling of dread and commented to my dad that I was feeling the same way I had before - we turned a corner, and there was the fallen tree with purple moss, and the bridge we'd crossed previously.

It happened again and again - I always knew when we reached that particular spot. It lessened as I grew older and I haven't been back since we left the area when I was a teenager. I was otherwise completely at ease in the woods and happy to walk in them on my own, at night etc (not that I made a habit of this!). But you couldn't have paid me to revisit that spot on my own.

I've Googled but never found anything weird out about the woods in those areas. There are some supposedly haunted ponds nearby (headless monks or somesuch) but I never felt particularly uneasy there!

Something did happen to me when I was pregnant. I don't remember how far along I was but I was staying at my flat and in bed one night when I heard a tap tap at the window above my head. Bedhead was just under the window. I then felt a malevolent presence. I have never been so scared at that point in my life. I was on the second floor and quite high up from the ground. I feared it was something to do with the baby so I moved into DPs house at the point. He worked nights at the weekends so I was on my own for those times. I would stay awake all night barely able to move with really bad morning sickness. (all bloody day and night sickness more like ) Feeling a bit more safe being away from my house I could feel a presence coming through the door at the end of the living room I was in. The same one as at my own house. It was awful. I asked it to be taken away and it never came back. Horrible horrible time though.

Our computer in our old house used to randomly blare really loud music, that wasn't even on our computer. It's never done it in our new house.
I also used to work in a nursery that was so spooky !
A couple of children would point blank refuse to go in one of the rooms because of the cold boy.
The cleaner quit without notice as she had been cleaning one of the playrooms went to empty her bucket down one of the children's toilets (row of about 6 little loos and sinks ) and every single tap was on full blast. They hadn't been on when she cleaned the toilet and she was alone in the building.
I used to get in trouble for leaving the room with toys lying around, I would leave the room spotless but in the morning there would be a pot of crayons on the floor or a box of toys spilt out.
The radio used to turn on by itself.
One day were sat with the children who were napping, talking about the woo things that had happened. I had my back against a wall, when something breathed into my ear I literally shot forwards, the staff in the room all heard the breath before I told them what had happened.
Another time we had tidied away at the end of the day and it was just me and two other children they were both in front of me and we were singing nursery rhymes when a little wooden block hit me on the back of the head, no one behind me and no way anyone could of walked behind me as the door was the other end of the room. The child I was singing with pointed behind me saying "him did it him did it ".
Staff and parents would feel a child run past them but noone had.
One lady I worked with went to see a medium and she explained our work place down to a tee and said a little boy who had choked to death, used to like hearing singing. She didn't know we worked in a childcare setting.
It turned out that it used to be a foster home for boys and one of the boys had been hit in the windpipe and suffocated !!

LilQueenie eugh, that sounds much scarier than my pregnancy story!

lily it was horrible. I have heard that our senses are heightened when pregnant though.

When my aunt passed away suddenly I asked for a sign she was around. Baring in mind that whilst growing up and into adulthood I would regularly mess and joke around with her making me jump. A night or two after asking I was cooking and all of a sudden the microwave door shot open and banged against the metal ladder sitting to the off-side to the front of it. I jumped and saw the door swinging back and forth. It has been clicked closed before hand. She well and truly won that round.

*making her jump I mean.

Not really creepy but amazing coincidence: When I was in my twenties my boyfriend and the crowd we hung round with were all motorbike fanatics. We used to hire out Goodwood race track so they could all do time trials and had such one event coming up. I would be travelling there on the back of my boyfriend's motorbike and really needed a leather jacket.
I really couldn't afford one but we decided to go to a cheapish bike shop on the outskirts of Croydon just to see if we could find one I might be able to afford.
We parked down a side street in a pretty run down part of the town - started walking to the shop when suddenly my boyfriend said 'hang on' and walked into the front garden of an empty boarded up house. There was a tarpaulin covering a pile of stuff in the garden and he bent down and pulled something from the pile. It was a sleeve and out came a virtually brand new bikers leather jacket - in my size. It was bizarre - it fitted me perfectly and I loved it. Had it for years.

I had dreams about Princess Diana dying before she actually did too ...

Any festive woo to share peeps?

I've got a couple I can't really explain ... I used to work in a historic building, always loads of rumours of several ghosts, paranormal groups coming in to do seances etc. I was always a sceptic as could always find a rational explanation for most 'sightings'. Until one afternoon (I think I was 20-21 so 16 yrs ago) I was cleaning up at end of opening hours when CLEAR AS DAY I saw a man walk through a door that was supposed to be padlocked as the room was unsafe (floorboards had all been ripped out) - this room had never been open to public & even staff weren't supposed to go in. I was so utterly convinced I ran to the door thinking "Oh shit he's going to get hurt / sue us" but the door was padlocked still. I asked colleagues if they'd seen a man walking through but all visitors had left. I was do freaked out by it I didn't tell a soul until nearly 10 years later when DH (who also worked there) was joking about "all those saddo ghost-hunter types" & now he's as freaked out by it as much as I am. Still can't find a rational explanation to this day.

Second thing was about 3 years later, I lived in a house share with 3 mates in a medieval era house. The 2 lads had the 1st floor rooms and us 2 girls the 2nd floor which was right in the roof with original beams. One night had horrifically vivid "dream" of being held down on bed & throttled by long-haired man in old fashioned clothing. I couldn't breathe, couldn't move, tried to scream but couldn't make a sound. Woke up sobbing in sheer fucking TERROR, couldn't bear to be in the room any longer so went downstairs to sleep in one of the boy's rooms who was on nights. Next morning found the other girl with me, she'd fled her room after having the exact same "dream"

Needless to say we moved out shortly afterwards.

When I was about 8 we had to have our house exorcised - I still remember sitting around the table with the priest performing the exorcism like it was yesterday

. Saving for later!

@onceacuntalwaysacunt you have to tell us more

Saving for later too!

Me too

Me 3

Um...appropriately a Zombie thread😬😵 resurrected from the mists of time but hey this is fun ..cant get enough woo ..still freaked by the story of the poster who visited a nightclub in Southend(?) and saw an evil looking young man..and went back years later and he was still there ...

I work in dementia care and was looking after a gentleman who was end of life. I went into his room to say goodbye to him at the end of the shift and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’. He replied ‘I don’t think I’ll be here tomorrow love but don’t worry I’ll take care of your little one’. I had had an early miscarriage the week before, no one I worked with knew I was even pregnant never mind had miscarried so there was no way he could have known. Makes me tingle thinking about it but also gave me great comfort at that time too.

I should add he did pass away that night too.

I went to a bit of a wild house party when I was younger (2nd floor flat) and the host was very drunk and told us how once he accidentally dropped a Televison out of the living room window onto the street below. Totally random I know and I didn’t really believe it.

About 10 years later I was working in a new job in a new town and we had a quiet day. We were chatting and we got onto the subject of my old home town. One of the guys said he’d only been there once and that the strangest thing had happened; he’d been walking to get the train home and as he walked down X street a television came flying out of a flat window and narrowly missed hitting him.

When I was younger my br

Whoops

When I was younger my brother and I almost got abducted. Very very scary. Now as an adult thinking what could've happened make me feel sick

Not woo, but very odd story from me.

We were driving in France in late winter. We'd had a delayed crossing and it was about 5.30pm, already dark. Hubby, DD (aged 3) and I in the car. We pulled into a rest stop off of the main road, small building with toilets and awful lighting, but all we needed to do was change the DVD in the back and then carry on, didn't even need to get out of the car. No-one else and no vehicles in sight. As hubby puts the handbrake on there is a knock at the drivers window (note we are in a French make of car, and the knock was at the UK driver side) I jumped, hubby jumped and a Gendarme appeared at the window. He motioned to wind the window down, which we did and in French, explained that we had to move immediately, that the area was crawling with thieves and they were targeting UK vehicles. With that, he disappeared, literally vanished into the darkness. There was nowhere obvious for him to go, only a toilet block. We locked the doors, put the headlights on full beam and looked around, but couldn't see him anywhere or any vehicle. Oh, and the other weird thing is that I never studied French, have only a basic understanding of German and Spanish, yet understood everything single word he said, hubby who took French GCSE got about one word in five!
