To ask if anything genuinely unexplainable and spooky has happened to you?

[crochetmonkey74]

I'll start. As a young teenager I wrote to a celebrity and received a signed photo with my name and a personalised specific message on. It was on my bedroom wall for years I went to uni and left it behind. While I was at uni, my mum remarried and moved house. I was not involved in the packing and moving . My things all went into boxes into the loft of the new house.
Fast forward to about 3 years ago (27 years after the house was packed up) I am unloading my laundry basket (recent purchase from dunelm) there's a cardboard stiffener at the bottom that comes away and under there is my photo. Not a photo, but the exact one. I was so baffled and a bit scared I actually cried. In the 27 years I have lived in 7 different homes, all small so I have regularly had to streamline my things. I know what I own. There was literally no way it could have been there. I'd never stored anything in the laundry basket other than laundry. It genuinely still baffles me. Anyone else had a similar experience?

@Alexiii

I think the man used to live here.
I need to do some research look at the census and if the names Ronald or Harry come up ....
They're 2 names that came up on evp.

The night I shot out of bed due to black mass man. My partner has seen it as well. Said yeah it stands at the bottom of the bed. Watching.

@SlurpSlooChortle

From experience of working in hospitals and witnessing some strange stuff, possibly either a guardian or like you say the reaper.
We had a side room where we put the end of life patients. Many staff saw a black figure stood at the end of the bed before the patient died.
My strangest was a patient who wanted me to take the little girl away. Kept saying that the little girls wants me to play but I'm too tired.
The patient died later that day

Omg. Slurp and Cheshire. These are very scary!

I was at the eye hospital today and reading a leaflet on sight loss hallucinations. When you loose your sight your brain wants and is used to being bombarded with information so it makes stuff up to be busy. I have had a hallucination. I saw a man walk 2 metres in front of me out of my hall into my kitchen I followed him and wasn't surprised to find him not there. But sometimes it not just what see and hear, it's what you feel. I wasn't tired or under more stress than usual and it was right in front of me. They was solid, completely black. Lots of detail like I knew they was in shorts and work boots but no features, like a solid shadow.

So was there a feeling with these encounters?

Oh absolutely. I just knew when several people were going to pass because I can just feel it. I know a few things before they happen and I also have dreams that come true.

I see the first three letters of my name at least once or twice a day- in noodles, grass, trees, on the ground although I haven’t quite worked out why. I used to take photos to “prove” it but nobody really cares.

However I am not originally from the UK and things like this are more normal elsewhere.

@SlurpSlooChortle that did sound scary, especially how I'll you were after the birth. Hope there are no long lasting affects from that, for all of you. I do wonder if the figure was more a guardian angel rather than something sinister? Just because when you were at your worst they were very close to you and as you got better they moved away. I'm not sure I'd be comforted by something like that at the time but maybe thinking afterwards I'd feel differently.

Thanks for your comments - I was discharged after three months with an infection and leaking wound and ended up going back into hospital within three days for another month and an emergency operation- then back home - then back in hospital with a pulmonary embolism. Everything that could go wrong went wrong unfortunately and it was four years ago and don't think I will ever be as I was.
I have so many horror stories from the hospital when I first woke up - it was truly like a horror film.
Yes I have wavered between guardian Angel or death-type figure. It makes me feel like if I ever see them again that I may think - times up Slurpsloo!

DD and I were once sharing a cinnamon swirl, she asked how to say it and I said "cinnamon", and she said "like sinner-mummy" and I said "what's sinner-mummy" and she said "the mummy upstairs" - I kid you not I went white as a sheet, we were upstairs in her room and the loft hatch is just outside her door on the landing, she even looked up when she said it. I never mentioned it again but when she's a little older I might tell her how much she scared me and see what she has to say 😂

The most peculiar thing happened after I had read about PP having three rings at the door, I was thinking about my late parents and thinking how lovely that was that her DM let the poster know she was OK. I heard the knocker go on my front door and all my dogs barked. I went straight to the door but there was nobody there. I could see my autumn wreath moving through the door from the knocker being used, it is a still evening here with no wind.

DH came home literally two minutes later and I asked him if he had come to the door and he hadn’t and there was nobody in sight 😮

Sounds more like a guardian angel keeping watch than the grim reaper, that’s why you didn’t feel scared. As you began to pull through they were no longer needed.

I think that these things do happen as much in the UK but people are embarrassed to admit they believe in woo stuff. Maybe as we don't talk about religion generally, it is seen as taboo. Most of my family live in Ireland, I came here when I was small but all my cousins, aunties uncles etc still there and people seem much more into woo. Hunger trees, haunted houses etc. Tbf there are a lot of tumbling down cottages and Ireland has a very bloody history so not surprising to hear about all the stuff my family discuss at great length on whatsapp!

That is so funny about your name! I have never seen my first 3 letters anywhere

I saw a little girl when I was in hospital having my dd, I passed out after surgery and needed the crash team. Just beforehand, I could see a little girl in the ward ( it was about three a.m. so not a visitor. She was dressed like a child from the 1900s. I was probably hallucinating, but it was weird. Nothing else abnormal, just the little girl.

@Ellyfinsmum that is completely freaky!!

I live in a house that's a bit woo.
Not really bothered me too much except the black mass in my bedroom who leans over you and the hand that came over the side of the bed

Mine is too and quite a lot happens here fairly regularly. I tend to have a live and let live ethos (well you now what I mean) but I would have had to do something about that the very first time it happened.

I was given a crystal, got told to pick one, black onyx.
Lady said an incarnation over it while in was in a bowl.
It's under my pillow and no negative energy in the bedroom at present

I have another woo moment, my daughters not mine.

She lives in an old nurses flats in the grounds of an old asylum.
My daughter is epileptic, she had a seizure in bed.
She told me that she wasn't sure if what she experienced was real or post seizure related.
A man leaning over her holding her shoulder. He wore a suit, balding head and a moustache.
She said it seemed so real.

A while later I got hold of a book about the asylum. We were flicking through the pages and she shouts that's him!
In the book there is a black and white photo from era 1920 of a male nurse, in a suit with a balding head and moustache. He is leant over touching the shoulder of an patient in bed.
That was weird

My Dad died in hospital and for a few days before he died he was complaining about the visitors who came at night and sat in the chair in his room. Mum checked with the nurses - no visitors.

Not 'woo' but hospitals are bizaare places, especially the wierd unexplained things they sometimes do.

I was in an induced coma and woke up alone to the IV machine beeping away because it was empty, I got out of bed in a little room (not the ward where I had been when they put me under a week earlier) and went to look for help.

I left the room and went to the door that joins to the ward an it was locked, all the doors where so I walked to the far end where there was no door and it merged with the main hallway to find had been BARACADED.

They had taped it with caution tape and piled up chairs and tables to block the entrance, I started digging my way out and as I created a hole a nurse rushed over. climbed in and took me back in the room and changed the IV and told me not to come out again.

They NEVER explained WHY they did that... I can only assume it was an attempt at a makeshift quarantine (I had been moved to the furthest part of the hospital ward away from everyone and then locked/blocked in, which left the whole ward with no toilets as they where in my blocked off area).

It was surreal like the start of a horror film, but very real and unsupernatural just confusing.

They wouldn't even explain why they did it to me, thing is while I did turn out to have a deadly 'slightly' contagous illness I had already been on the ward interacting with the others for 2 weeks before slipping into septic shock and organ failure so had I been a risk to others I would have ALREADY spread it by then so the quarentine makes no logical sense to have done.

I love this thread. Sending hugs to all xx
I've posted in it further back under another name heres some more.

Cheshire- we have a man in our house also we see going up the stairs. We think he lived here previously. Over the last month we have seen him 5 times.

When I had my second son who is now 14 I heard someone saying "hello baby" over my shoulder twice when I was feeding him late one night. I also sensed many people stood in the room with me and a lovely feeling of love.
The same lovely DS is also very spiritual and has said numerous things over the years.
One that stood out was he talked about "when he was here before I did this job" saying he used to work with a saw (around age 4)
He has also talked about people he can see with a light around them, and hes also seen the man here too. It has never scared him at all.
Our youngest cat has also seen and sensed him our other two dont seem to.

**wanted to add, my DS had play tools when he said the above lol, not real ones 🤣

Slurp I would say definitely guardian angel or one of your guides. Looking over you until you were OK xxx

@Ellyfinsmum post is like something from life on Mars and totally fascinating!

I think right now few people would object to being back in 2004…

As for me, no, nothing unexplainable. I would love something to happen though as I would find it comforting, I find the harsh reality of life to be a bit sad sometimes.

Me neither and same, but Blackadder’s quip to Baldrick could apply to me if you replace subtle plan with anything unexplainable:
Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle plans are here again!"

@mam0918 what the actual fuck, I got chills reading this. It's like the start of 28 days later or something, you must have been terrified 😰

What did @Ellyfinsmum's post say? Can't scroll back, it keeps crashing. Why MN won't use nested comments like reddit is beyond me.
