Argh! I can't find ultracrepidarian's update - can anyone summarise? I've tried searching in Chat but nothing is coming up Sad

I've been waiting for that update for ages!

OrangeyTulips · 31/10/2014 19:06

stoke I can't do links on phone but using search type 'spooky goings' into search box for thread titles.

The link I put ^^ up there is a tad vague.

SmellyFartado · 31/10/2014 20:15

What happened to the thread about the woman at work in an old warehouse where there were goings on on the top floor and when the office was locked. A priest was called ........ and we heard no more. Think was in Chat perhaps just over a year ago.

WeeWhile · 31/10/2014 20:23

OMG! I just googled 'The Nightmare' By Fuseli. and now I have goosebumps!

WaltzingWithBares · 31/10/2014 21:05

I think it was an attempt to promote a particular book IIRC Smelly.

icanhaveadarksideifyouwantmeto · 31/10/2014 21:23

i made a lovely cup of tea and sat down to read this thread. by the time i had finished my tea the milk had curdled in the cup!

Dirtypaws · 31/10/2014 21:41

It was MotherOfDragons and I wondered about that. A book promo! Well the story was far fetched. I must admit I was hooked!

BatTeethKeith · 31/10/2014 22:05

Hi Orangey I've spent ages searching under 'spooky things at holiday let' and for posts by Ultracrepidarian but can't find a thing. Aghhh I need to know what happened next!! What am I doing wrong! Confused

MymbleBaratheonBendsTheKnee · 31/10/2014 23:08

Ok here's mine...When I was about 5 or so I was having a nap in my bedroom. Turned over to see a face right next to mine looking straight at me. It was female with unnaturally large eyes. Absolutely terrified, I turned away and hid under the covers. When I finally plucked up the courage to look again she had gone.

RubyFlint · 31/10/2014 23:08

Oh silly me, finally found it here

OrangeyTulips · 31/10/2014 23:30

great! Grin

WeeWhile · 31/10/2014 23:43

Ok. Last one.

When I was about 8 years old me and my friend Anna decided to go walkabout after school one winters day instead of heading home.
We went to play near the cemetery, where, during the summer we had built a den amongst the bushes.
Time passed as we played houses in our den until we suddenly realised it was getting quite dark and we should have been home ages ago. This involved going back through the cemetery.
We thoroughly spooked ourselves walking back past the graves and clung onto each other in fright. Suddenly Anna screamed and there, right in front of us, was an old man who was leading a white horse. Terrified we were about to run away when he spoke.
'If you have coin you can ride my horse', he said.
Trembling, Anna and I cautiously turned out our pockets but we had no money.
Seeing this the old man said, 'Be on your way then.' He turned and walked off, leading the horse between the gravestones.
We ran all the way home and no one believed us that this had actually happened. I was told off by my parents for telling lies, not coming home and was discouraged from playing with Anna again.

In hindsight I realised that the old man spoke those words in a strange way and his clothes looked like they were from a time long ago.

Perhaps we had seen a ghost!

The stocksbridge bypass is a very odd place, I remember it before it was built I used to ride my horse around there , almost an electrical atmosphere sometimes I can't explain it, plus my straight up Yorkshire dad saw a child on that road in the middle of the night whereupon he nearly crashed the car trying to avoid it . There was nothing there when he went back to look .

Toofattorun · 31/10/2014 23:59

askyfullofstars What a touching story. My grandmother came to collect my dad too.

Rissolesfortea · 01/11/2014 00:14

I have a few but its late so heres one for starters.

A few years ago while staying at my exdps house, who was a lot older than me, I was fast asleep when suddenly my eyes just pinged open and standing right next to the bed and looking at me was a young boy about 10yrs old. He was dressed in old fashioned clothes, long shorts, fair isle tank top etc, he just stood watching me. I blinked a few times and he disappeared, I fell back to sleep, trying to convince myself I had been dreaming.

Roll on months later we were looking at some of his photos of when he was a child, I had never seen these before, it was the boy who had stood by the bed.

SmellyFartado · 01/11/2014 00:24

RL getting in the way of MN so not been on as much for a while.

Thanks for update Waltzing - was quite invested in that story. Blardy book my arse.
