Just like the thread title.
This is not about something you can't explain but something you can explain but thought it was weird first time round.

1 - Driving down the A50 me and my mate spotted a cigar shaped UFO.
He actually pulled over in a parking area and we watched it for ages.
At that point we could have drove off convinced it was a UFO but we stayed with it until it started to change shape.
At that point it became a helicopter.
SOLVED.

2 - A few weeks ago my wife spotted strange stars in the sky and at that point they were about 30 UFO's.
They were obviously not stars so I decided to drive towards them into open space down by the Britannia Stadium.
At that point only 5 were left and they were obviously a load of airplanes flying back from somewhere and I watched the other 5 disappear above the clouds.
SOLVED.

3 - A few weeks ago I was in a dark corridor and saw the back of a person go into the male toilet which was weird because I'm the only male.
I got ready to say something when I entered but there was nobody there.
This really puzzled me until I saw another person do the same thing but it was a woman entering the womens toilet door which was about 3 foot from mine the other side of a door frame (so I couldn't see it the first time).
SOLVED.

4 - This morning I had stigmata.
I was posting into the fear of flying thread when I looked down at my keyboard and there was blood all over the left side keys.
I turned my left hand over and wiped the blood off my index finger thinking I will need a plaster.
There was no cut :eek:
I called the wife, explained and showed her but she just said 'Better clean the keyboard'.
I said 'You're missing the point'.
I went upstairs, put my clothes on (I had my pants on) and went to work looking at my left index finger all the way there.
A little later I went to the bog, dropped my trousers and there on the left inside of my knee was congealed blood where I'd been scratching earlier.
SOLVED.

So after my long boring post what paranormal/supernatural happening did you solve after time?
 
Somebody was posting strange threads in the general discussion forum... almost supernatural threads.... but I looked at the OP and it said dmpoole.... SOLVED! :p
 
My window slammed shut and it could have possibly definitely almost certainly been a ghost. Went outside and saw it was windy.

SOLVED
 
There was one caramal digestive left and then it was gone. This made absolutely no sense, then my brother told me he ate it.

Solved.

Sorry.
 
All my toiletries started rattling on my chest of drawers behind where I was sitting at my desk. At that moment it simply HAD to be a Poltergeist.

Turns out it was a bloody earthquake in Lincolnshire.

Solved

You don't have to be sorry.
About a month ago something similar happened with my daughter and a piece of chocolate.
She knew she had 4 blocks left on the table and blamed me for eating it.
When I convinced her I hadn't she started to say 'Spooky' over and over.
About 15 mins later her sister came downstairs who we didn't even know was in the house and said she'd had it when she walked in the house.
SOLVED.
 
RIMMER: (Snaps his fingers) Aliens!
LISTER: Oh god, aliens? Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys -- it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall -- it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day -- you thought that was aliens as well.
RIMMER: Well we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?
LISTER: Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?
RIMMER: Just 'cause they're aliens doesn't mean to say the don't have to visit the little boys' room. Only they probably do something weird and alienesque like it comes out of the top of their heads or something.

:D
 
Middle of the night, thought I could hear an eery ghostly noise emanating from somewhere. Kept listening, got out of bed to investigate.

Turned out to be my grandfather snoring.

SOLVED!
 
flaming santa, alien doctors injecting into my stomach, snakes in the room, dark ghost type figure pressing down on my chest. watched a documentary on sleep paralysis SOLVED

A bright light from a hovering and randomly moving ufo, news paper said a convict from layhill prison had escaped and the police search helicopter was out. In my sleep state it didn't look like a helicopter. But it was so bleeding obvious the next morning.
SOLVED


A large silver cigar shaped ufo, watched it for a bit and it just happened to be something like a 747 at a weird angle so you couldn't see wings or tail plane. SOLVED


Middle of the night herd claws scraping the walls of my bedroom. Swore it was a ghost or something ran to parents room. TERRIFIED. Turned out to be birds making a nest in the cavity of the wall managed to get in through the roof.
SOLVED

This is why I don't belive in supernatural or UFO. I've seen so much which with a bit of thinking or knowledge has turned out to be every day objects or experiences.

Serious reply ( :eek: ) :

On the way back from a holiday my + my parents got redirected so instead of flying back to Coventry airport we ended up in East Midlands (I think, this was a few years ago to be fair...) and so we were asked to get on a 50 or so seater coach and be driven to Coventry airport, where our car was.

Well, my dad said he got a weird feeling about the coach as soon as we got on so asked to get a taxi back instead, so the airline got us a taxi and we went to Coventry and got there at like 4am, only to be told by the security guards at the car park booth that the coach had gone off the road and rolled...

(My dad getting the weird feeling is the eerie part, if anyone didn't catch that :p )

Well, my dad looked at the news over the next couple of days... seems the security guards at the booth were messing with us as there wasn't any big coach accident reported...

... solved?
 
A couple of nights ago, my sisters radio turned itself on in the middle of the night on full blast playing a Dido song. This was when everyone was asleep.. It's one that has a push in/out button.. That was weird.

UNSOLVED

Anyone care to explain that one?

TV started switching channels by itself. I found I was sitting on the controller which was underneath the cushion on the sofa.

SOLVED.
