To ask you about unexplained things that have happened to you

I will start and I will first say that I've only ever spoken about this online because it's so weird I just can't say it out loud

I was 14 and on a school trip to France, one night we stayed in a Hostel. Was a nice hostel. Anyway I woke up the next day to find a shit in my bed. An actual human shite. Now I know it was not mine, I had worn leggings to bed so there's no chance it would have made it's way down me leg without least being a bit battered and with smudge marks. It was laid perfectly in my bed, like some sort of offering.

So that's mine. Please share yours and if you're willing, offer some explanations to my poodicament

When I was in high school i woke up at around 5am to my radio alarm clock randomly going off and it was the news and it said there had been bombings in London, i listened then fell back to sleep. The next morning I walked to school with my friend which I did every day at 8am, I mentioned how awful it was about the bombings and she said she had no idea about this and hadn’t heard the news yet.

That particular day was July 7th and the bombs went off an hour later while I was in school. My friend could not believe it either!

So many unexplained things! The strangest was with my neighbour. They lived opposite me as a teenager and we all lived on a new build estate. The estate was built on the site of an old isolation hospital in the city we lived in. Many strange things happened in the house - windows would all be open at the front of the house in the middle of winter, when asked why the windows were all open, the family would have zero recollection of opening them - this happened multiple times a week. One of the daughters in the family has dyslexia which apparently makes you more susceptible to ghosts etc - the "ghost" would visit her regularly talking about his mum who had died in the hospital, was due to get discharged that day and had died due to a plane crashing into the hospital and killing the woman. The mother's friend came round for tea and asked how "dd's stories are" and the mother recalled the most recent one - the friend used to work at the hosptial and knew the story in and out! The daughter who recalled it was only 6 at the time and too young to google it (the story of the woman dying and plane crash is on the internet) - many other strange and unexplained things happened in that house.

Used to hear my name called all the time by a little girl used to think my sister's were winding me up until I was in Africa with my dad and heard it there! Oh also on plane with dad I said huh he said I didn't say anything I said yes you did and said it to him he had thought it but never spoke it outloud!! Get that a lot.
lots of ghost stuff too!

A few years ago we couldn't find the remote control for the DVD player in our bedroom. It had been on the bed. We looked under the bed - not there. We looked under the runner - not there. We took off the runner then took duvet off totally checked under pillows etc and still couldn't find it. We looked under the bed. We stripped the bed totally and then re-made it, feeling extremely puzzled.

We then got on with getting ready to go to work. When we were about to leave, DH asked where I'd found the remote. I told him I didn't know where it is/was and he pointed to it.....lying in the centre of our bed.

Could it be that you had a poo during the night, OP? Could have been a clean cut? Halo

ItsHardToExplain · 27/04/2019 23:01

That diagram OP Grin Grin Grin

Nutkin123 · 27/04/2019 23:05

Could've have been a "ghost poo" - what my friends and I refer to a poo with a totally clean wipe

I suffer from tinnitus, always have from childhood. I used to occasionally hear some shout my name but nobody was there. Have always blamed tinnitus but it stopped as I got older, even though my tinnitus remains.

When I was a young teen, I biked to school everyday. At the end of my road I would turn left then ride down a hill to the main road at the bottom. That day something told me to check my brakes before turning left. I did and my brake snapped. I careered into someone's fence. If I hadn't tested it then I would have careered into the main road.

I'm not woo but I think sometimes there is more to life, even if it is more our senses guiding us.

Ghost poos are great, I dislike the ones that come with an 'angels kiss' though. Aka, when a lil splash of water hits you from the dunk

SweetMarmalade · 27/04/2019 23:18

Prequelle, but could you have actually dreamt you were sitting on the toilet, pulled leggings down, clean cut poo, leggings back up, off to sleep again?

JaneJeffer · 27/04/2019 23:18

DS has tablets he to take at bedtime. A couple of weeks ago he dropped one on the kitchen floor. We couldn't see it anywhere. I even pulled the fridge out thinking it might have gone underneath. I was afraid the dog would find it and eat it so I hoovered the floor.

The following evening I was opening the fridge for the umpteenth time that day and there was the tablet right beside it on the floor.

Itwouldtakemuchmorethanthis · 27/04/2019 23:19

I think it was a cat poo.

SweetMarmalade · 27/04/2019 23:20

Love the term ‘ghost poo’ Grin

So when I was younger (maybe about 12) my dog had puppies and we were selling them. These two sisters came to view the puppies as one wanted to buy one and the other sister had brought her cavillers King Charles spaniel to check it got on with the puppies. Anyway the girl chose one of the puppies and had to go to the cash point to withdraw some money. Whilst they were gone I was telling my family how I'd seen the sister with the cavillers on a tv programme I watched called it's me or the dog (it's where a woman dog trainer goes to peoples houses with naughty dogs and helps the owners train them), my family weren't convinced so I was like honestly she was on that programme with her dog (the cavaliers) because it kept weeing and pooing all over her house.. anyway the sisters came back and as they were chatting, the sister gets a phone call and wonders off to talk on the phone. When she comes back she was like OMG that was channel 4 I'm going to be on this programme called it's me or the dog because my dog keeps weeing and pooing all over the house 😐 it's safe to say my family were all looking at me like I was psychic sally. When they left, my family asked me about the episode I remember seeing (that obviously hadn't even been filmed yet) and i explained what happened, what I remember her house looking like etc.. months and months later we were watching it's me or the dog and the sister was on there and the episode was just how I'd remembered and explained and her house was exactly what I remember seeing and had described to my family.. I have absolutely no idea how I had this weird memory of seeing an episode that hadn't been filmed.. it still to this day baffles me!!

We got a postcard from my grandad a week after he died. Was posted 20 years earlier when he went on a coach trip to Scotland. It was posted to my Aunt, but the thing is, she had moved address from the one on the postcard.

The first line was 'am having a lovely time, journey not bad'.

I was sitting on my bed sorting and folding washing into ironing pile. Baby laying next to me on bed and toddler dd standing next to me helping. The house phone rang in the other room. I was going to run in and get it but in a split second thought I better take baby so picked him up then took dd by the hand too. Now in other room I picked up the phone to hear a static sound. I kept saying hello but no voice just noise. I put the phone down just as there was an almighty crash from the bedroom. I ran back in to see the big glass light fitting had fallen from the ceiling and smashed onto the bed hitting the head board. Huge shards of glass where the baby had been laying. The light was very heavy. Two pieces of plate glass. I have no idea why it happened. The safety hook was intact and the ceiling attachment wasn't loose. I have no doubt it would very likely have been fatal to baby if the phone hadn't rung when it did.

I clicked on this posted because it was interesting to me, then you gave your example and I thought this OP is THP

Is the what areukidding?

sweet oh god I hope not. I must have quite lovingly handled it if so and got rid of whatever I had used to carry it to its resting place. I would like to think I would recognise my own poo but after a diet of purely croissants because I didn't like any other food, you could be right.

I think it was the teacher who was pissed off at having to share a room with a kid.

That’s lovely thecaddie. How comforting, and odd, that must have been.
