What is something you have experienced that no one would believe?

[Wishuponastar5]

I'll start.
I've told no one this but my partner. I'm 24 and think Snt Nicholas/santa is real. Why? Because I distinctly remember hearing him. I was at my family members house and it was Christmas eve. I don't know why but my eyes shot open and it must of been around 2am. I could hear the soft chime of bells and it got louder and louder until it was audibly clear what it was. Then I heard a bang on the roof and I kid you not hooves! Loads of hooves and bells. The odd thing was that I wasn't excited as you would expect to be seeing Santa. I suddenly became paralyzed with this weird sense of fear.

I remember hiding in my bed and pulling the blanket over my eyes. I thought if I pretended to sleep he would go away. I then heard heavy sounds of footsteps around the house and a man's voice grunting. After what seemed like forever the noises of the man stopped and the hooves took off. After I was sure the coast was clear I ran to my bedroom window to see if I could catch a glimpse but I saw nothing. That morning I didn't tell anyone but simply asked all my male family members if anyone had gotten up over night. They hadn't (all are quite elderly). I know what I experienced. My partner thinks it was a delusion or one of those realistic dreams. But the experience was so vivid and unusual that I know it was real. No one would believe me so I don't bother saying it!

Okay your turn

I’d love to say I think you’re a nut case and you need to lay off the wacky backy but I don’t think I can talk as although I do not believe in Father Christmas, I genuinely believe I have seen fairies at least twice in my life.

As a scientist who does not believe in the paranormal (I tell myself) I would say that the ‘fairies’ I saw were dragon flies or something and my brain made me see fairies.
I would say that you heard one of your parents (or even someone breaking in) and your child brain thought it was Santa.

However, there was a thread on here back along about people believing they could fly down the stairs.
I was also one of those children and was shocked that other people also had memories of this.

Posters were saying it was a dream and that we were being carried upstairs by our parents to bed but this didn’t make sense as for me it was very real and it was always me flying downstairs.

I have been looking into it a bit since that thread and there is a belief by some experts that children are telepathic and more sensitive to paranormal activity than adults as they use a different part of their brain.

I am on the fence about these things still but there are scientific studies into these things.

OP I also heard Santa bells once!

One time I had a bad cough as a child. I was dozing and someone came into my room, pushed a round tablet thing into my mouth. It immediately dissolved and my cough just vanished. I asked my mother for it again the next night and she knew nothing about it. No one had come into my room the previous night (except apparently some helpful ghost nurse).

When I was about 6 or 7 I saw a woman / female child being bundled into the boot of a car by a man, he then got in and drove off. I was in the back of a car being driven by my auntie (my mum was in the front seat) at the time. It was winter I guess because I remember it as early evening, dark. I know the city we were in but not where. I got really excited and told my mum and auntie and they. would. NOT. believe me. We were on our way home back from somewhere and they were in a rush I remmeber that. I was basically told to stop making it up.

Wow!

I think I’d have to start a thread about this if you remember the city and year to see if this was anyone on here.

It’s not the same but I remember my DD saying there was a women in a bush we were both looking at and I said no there wasn’t because I looked at the bush too - I don’t know why I looked at it as I drove past but something made me look at it, but it just looked like a normal bush to me.

I turned around and neither of us could see anything but my DD was adamant that there had been a women there.

I couldn’t stop to have a look but I couldn’t not do anything either, so I rang the non-emergency police and explained that I felt silly ringing them and they said they’d get an officer to check it out when they drove past that way.

I drove home from shopping and that whole side where the bush was was tapped off and had police, ambulance and a blue tent.
I was so glad I listened to my DD.

Also I always ring Santa bells and then pretend it wasn’t me/I didn’t hear it - sorry!

It could of been krampus?

Two things:

I was living in the house next door to my grandparent's former family home many years after the house was sold and grandma was in a care home. The evening she died I felt and saw her standing quietly right next to me. She was young and her hair was dark. Then I 'felt' her saying goodbye to her old house, to me, and to the rest of her loved ones. It all happened in a matter of seconds and then she was gone.

I had a cousin who died young. She and my dad were very close and he was devastated when she died (as we all were). Decades later, just as my dad was dying I saw her, dressed in white, standing quietly nearby. As Dad took his last breath, she looked directly at him, pointed off into the distance and nodded. My feeling then was that she was telling him to come with her. Then she was gone.

In all the deaths of loved ones throughout my life (I'm in my 60s) I have never had anything similar happen, not even when my mum died. I guess my thoughts are that either it was a true 'vision' or it was something that I needed to feel at peace. Either way, who cares? It was comforting and peaceful.

Myself and a friend, when we were about 13, once saw a huge a figure glowing brightly white in front of a church door. We were about 13, walking home about 9pm as it was just getting dark, deliberately chose to walk through the churchyard as a shortcut as it was spooky (we were going through a horror movies phase) and both saw it. We froze at the church gate for about 20 seconds then ran away all the way home via the longer way. I later went to a playgroup in that church with my kids and thought about it every time. I know it sounds totally implausible, my friend saw it too and still remembers it clearly.

I don’t think anyone we’ve ever told believes us, but it happened.

One day a friend and I went for a long bike ride out of our little town and into the forest. We were about twelve, maybe thirteen. Quite deep in the forest we stopped for a rest and sat down on the ground. It was completely peaceful and quiet, just forest noises. We were chatting away when we started hearing a car engine and after a while spotted a white car on another forest track. There were never any cars there, it was forbidden, so that was weird, we didn't really want to meet anybody that deep in the forest. Then that car stopped right opposite us, about 500ft through the trees. We were starting to feel uncomfortable about this and froze a little waiting to see what would happen; a man got out, went to get something out of the boot, and then he was doing stuff, and it looked like he was putting together an automatic, like a big gun, we couldn't be certain because of the distance and the trees but that's what it looked like so we decided to go, like right now! We (stupidly) got up and moved towards our bikes, he must have heard or seen us because he turned, with his gun aimed at us in the 'shoulder and eye' shooting position: so it was really a gun! We jumped on our bikes and absolutely belted it out of there as fast as we could, hearing gun shots for what seemed like a long time, which kind of spurred us on even more!!!

I don't think he was aiming at us because we weren't a great distance away, we didn't hear things whistling near us or hitting trees, just gun shots. We didn't stop pedalling as fast as we could until we were a long long way away and near houses again, and then stopped and had a what just happened? moment.
Our parents didn't believe us, we couldn't convince them that we saw exactly what we saw, so we never told anybody else.
I checked with my friend many years later, because although I knew I'd lived it and it did happen, it sort of felt nightmarish/cinematic and hard to believe: she confirmed everything.
What I want to know is who he was and what was he doing.

so wanted to share it on an anonymous forum without being judged

I do judge you. A lot.

Yes, they spelt "throes" incorrectly. Hth.

Wow @CarefreeMe thank goodness you believed her!

Where did you see fairies and what were they like?

I definitely believed in fairies as a child, but the magic has faded as a grown up.

OP I also heard Santa bells once!

I've heard those before, but I strongly suspect that was a family member as I heard them every year on Christmas Eve.

On Charles and Diana’s wedding day, I was watching on TV and had a sudden kind of vision or premonition. I saw her in the future in great distress, and had a sudden feeling that something would go terribly wrong and there would be some kind of disaster. I didn’t know whether I was seeing divorce, death or something else.
I would have been ridiculed if I’d told anyone. Everyone was buying in to the whole happy couple, fairytale marriage story.

Could you post any links to the things you read? I would love to read them! I had those dreams too! (Actually I don't think they're dreams, I remember it too clearly. That and being able to breathe underwater. I'm still so sure that I can do it)

Thank goodness you have saved me from my sins. I wont throw anything out there without consulting you first.

I once walked into my bathroom and found my cat perched on the toilet seat doing a wee. She does spend lot of time in the bathroom (likes to sleep in the bath) but I’ve never managed to catch her doing it again and no one believes that I actually saw her doing it!

Yes, they spelt "throes" incorrectly. Hth.

And still sneeringly snide I see coffeetree

What a peach. It must be divine being so perfect.

Once I was wild camping, on my own in the middle of nowhere. It was the middle of the night and I was woken by a really bright green light outside of my tent, I genuinely thought it was the police or something like that.

I looked outside the tent and there was a huge, green, boomerang shaped light in the sky. It slowly moved overhead....shot backwards quickly the way it had come then changed direction and zoomed forwards again very quickly and was gone. I have absolutely no idea what it was, it was a cloudy night so a bit of a hazy light....as if someone was shining a massive torch into the sky but I was in the middle of nowhere. I'm rational and don't really think it was extra terrestrial but I've no explanation for what I saw.

If you're going to hijack someone's thread to make fun of them, expect sneering!

It is expected on a thread for someone to disagree or question another’s opinion or post. And it isn’t ‘hijacking’ to do so.

Picking up on a grammatical or spelling error just makes someone look cunty.

Just an opinion. Not hijacking.

Hope *that^ helps.

Had ya horses a minute. I did not hijack anyone's thread, I was genuinely concerned.

My partner thinks it was a delusion or one of those realistic dreams. But the experience was so vivid and unusual that I know it was real

This is from the op! She genuinely believes it is real.

If Someone you knew, an adult, your friend or family member made this statement, would you not be concerned?

Even her own Partner is speaking sense and telling her it was a dream or delusion but she BELIEVES its real!

Sorry if I spelled anything wrong and offended you btw.

Sounds like a will o' the wisp. I've seen them before. Moving and slightly shimmering and phosphorescent

LTB!!!

My childhood home was haunted, I must have been about 10 or 11 and I was coming down the stairs one evening and there was a full human shaped white mass/shadow at the foot of the stairs. I remember feeling really calm and happy, I blinked and it had vanished.
