What is the creepiest thing to have ever happened to you?

A few things have happened to me, one being that I was on a first date with a lass. Now this lass decides to tell me that she's a medium and asks if I've had someone die close to me that had breathing problems.
I reply "Yeah" but think "lots of people have people die cos of lung cancer and the like".
She then starts describing in great detail a photo of me and my granddad (died of lung cancer) when I was about 3 years old. A photo I'd even forgotten about until she started on about it. That did freak me out.

Another time I used to work on a out of hours help desk, me and a work mate was hunched over a pc in the middle of a empty floor. I see out of the corner of my eye a chair swivel very slowly.. I look right at it and it was still going. I was just about to ask my mate if he'd seen it but he stopped me before I could get anything out saying "Yep I saw it, Lets get the **** out"

Also on the oujia subject. I'm on the "Its a big bag of bum" side.
 
When i met my wife to be we bought a house near the town centre of Sunderland. The house was built in the 1880's. We had the original deeds for the house which were stamped in wax and stored in a cupboard , it was an old old house. Original coving with ceilings you couldn't touch and lots of space.

After about a year strange things started to happen. I remember there were 13 stairs to the 1st landing. All of a sudden on the 6/7Th stair there was a constant smell of fish. Above and below no smell. Thought nothing of it. Watching TV and when it went quiet realising there was a tap running. Again thought nothing of it, even though this happened constantly. Yes , i know it sounds daft but even when we were in bed and heard the stairs creaking as if someone was walking up them, again we thought nothing of it.

Cut to the Easter weekend of 2001 and we decided to decorate our bedroom. So all day Good-Friday we painted the walls and ceiling. It got to about 6/7pm and we decided to go for a drink at the local (The Chesters). We get back after last orders and for some reason i run straight upstairs to check on our bedroom. Bear with me on this one, but when i opened the door and put the light on, there in front of me was the silhouette of an old man on the wall. If you looked at it straight on you couldn't see anything. At an angle it was an old man with a beard 'painted' in great detail. I called my brother and my best mate down and they both saw it and couldn't understand what it was.

So because i had had a few drinks i got my 'of the day' Digital 8 camcorder out and filmed it. I start out in front of the camera saying 'tonight i have the devil on my bedroom wall' or something. Just making light of it.

For my sins I'm going to dig the old footage out and put it on here .... and as a footnote we moved 7 months later ..

Me and the family once stayed at a really creepy and ancient cottage in Grosmont in Yorkshire - I must have been about 10 or so. There was a little, strange door at the top of the second flight of stairs that scared the heck out of me. I noticed that it was strange that I was allowed to stay up late, but went with it. One time, coming down the main stairs, I felt someone distinctly tap me on the shoulder! We were supposed to spend a week there but only lasted a few days. At the time, they said it was because mum was ill. It was only years after that mum & dad both said there was something "not quite right" about the cottage and that's why we left early.

There's a house in Leek which seems to be up for sale more often than normal. One of my friends used to live in it years ago and has told me countless stories about the odd "goings on".
 
A few years ago was getting ready to go bed with the (ex) mrs.

Our dog used to sleep on the bottom of the bed. We were just talking and the next thing the dog did a double take of the corner of the room and was "looking at someone" barking and snarling.

We were a little wierded out and started calming her down, she kept trying to sort of move her head out to keep an eye on it. Then she went over and started sniffing where she was looking and barking at.

Definately something wierd. We didn't actually see anything but the dog definately did and i just remember her looking forward then looking slightly to her left back straight then straight back again in the double take, bounded backwards to me barking and looking up to (i'd assume) a figure of my height in the corner.

Freaky. My ex didn't sleep a wink
 
Woke up from being half asleep at about 11 at night, I saw black shadow at the end of my bed standing there. It looked just like My mum and as I shouted Mum it slowly faded away.
I was about 13

I agree, a decent read, does make you question our knowledge of the world.

It would if it wasn't fiction. I dont really know what i was hoping for when I read it and I guess I was always going to be disappointed with the conclusion.

Still......its gripping stuff for the most part.
 
when i was about 5 or 6 living in Reading, Berkshire, i used to play in prosepect park and even helped dig out the pond to reshape it. Well anyway the mansion house was said to have a ghost (didnt know this until teenage years), and one day while with my sister i noticed someone waving at a window on the top floor (the mansion house used to be derelict but is now a restaurant). i have always wondered if this was the lady of the house (whom the pond was dug for originally) or just kids climbing up through the ld building. that was creepy never knowing, i asusme it to have been kids though
 
years ago me and mate where driving through dartmoore about two in the morning and we where in the middle of no where

and at the side of the road kind tramp looking guy who was walking with a hunch dragging what i could make out was a black bag which was full of something heavy.

it freaked me and my mate out a lot we did not stop or anything just carried on saying what the hell was that all about!

too this day i wonder where what he was doing out there.
