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

Not really, I go down and up the stairs in the pitch black of night most nights.
Thing is, if I read bloody threads like this and my mind is in a state of paranoia, it's not fun.

Another couple for me...
When my wife and I first had our daughter money was quite tight. We both felt a bit worried about being able to give her the right upbringing. One day my wife came home and said she'd been stopped by an elderly lady who, quite out of context, just told her "Don't worry, all they need is love" and walked off. She explained the lady said nothing else and the only other odd thing was that she had a finger missing on her hand.
My grandmother on my mums side (died many years ago) lost her finger when she was in her 20's. Guardian angel?
And another...
My mum was once given a very old chair which had been in the family for generations. It was in my parents bedroom against one of the walls. Every morning my mum swore that it had moved an inch or two away from the wall and she kept moving it back. It started to freak her out but my dad persuaded her that she was imagining it.
So My mum was now convinced that she was imagining things but still felt a little uncomfortable. So, reluctant to get rid of a family heirloom, she put it in my brothers room instead. A week later my brother runs into her room absolutely terrified and saying the chair kept moving towards his bed.
My dad burnt the chair that day.

When I was about 11 I was trying to find something urgently in my pig sty of a room. After quite a long fruitless search I stopped, stood in the middle of my room and asked my recently deceased Grandad to help me find it. I then slowly looked around the room and saw a dangling piece of string which was slowly rotating around. Directly underneath, under a pile of miscellaneous childhood objects was the thing I was looking for.
Probably a coincidence but I like to think it wasn't.

No, the people who have used ouija boards are likely not lying. However, they don't understand why the glass is moving and make a leap of faith to the supernatural.
Whenever examined scientifically, the ouija board has been well and truly debunked.
What's so special about the ouija board anyway? What's so special about using a glass? Surely any time you touch an object that's sitting on a surface with writing on you should be channeling spirits, right?
oddly, yes.. we also have a large mirror right at the top of the stairs and sometimes i'm scared to look at it when i kill the downstairs lights for fear of what i 'might' see
Same in my old house - worst place ever to put a mirror in a house over 500 years old. Creepy to the extreme!
Hmm, creepiest thing thats happened to me was when i was staying at a friends caravan in Loch Lomond for the weekend.
We must have been around 10-11 years old. We went into the heavily wooded forest just to explore and look around etc, now we went quite deep into the forest so it started to get quite shaded and dark, this was during the day we went there.
Pretty much next thing we heard something rustle the bushes a little bit away from us, we turn around and at a little distance away we see some purely insane looking man running straight for us, not saying anything just sprinting directly towards us so we bolt, he gave chase for a good 15 mins or so. No idea what he would have done if he caught us.
I personally think he was bigfoot.

Couple of years ago, it was a summer sunny afternoon and I was having a nice ice cream. Suddenly I look out of the window and I see an old drunken man just standing outside our home.
For 5 mins he is just standing there and I am thinking what the hell is he there for?
Suddenly he enters our home and I then think that he probably needs some help.
Next thing you know, he unzips his trousers and pants, let out his manhood and has a nice **** in our front garden
.
Needless to say I managed to catch his manhood by accident and then this just spoiled my ice cream

I'm still waiting for someone to post "Purple Aki".
Went into a classroom today, nobody been in there since me on Friday afternoon.
All the Window sills have dead bees on them, and loads on the floor. Quick count and estimate about 60 of them
All windows are sealed shut, there is no way they could have got in. First it was suspected they got in via the air con but so many filters along the way wouldnt be possible, plus strange they all ended up in one classroom and none in the other two rooms with air con in this building.
Ok not the best ghost story and hardly creepy but very strange

Classic no-nonsence Dad solution to the problem there.
Hahaha.
There's probably a nest in one of the walls. We had a wasps nest. Every morning we'd come down and the floor and light fixture would be full of dead wasps. They always find a way in. Didn't happen again after the exorcist (exterminater) had left.
Last night me and the girlfriend were sat on the sofa and there were shadows being cast on the curtain of people, my girlfriend was stood right by the curtain and opened it to look out, and there was no-one there!! We looked all around our driveway and the next door neighbours vut not a sole was in the street. She shut the curtain, and then the shadow appeared again, I jumped up off the sofa and looked out the window and BOOM, no-one was there.....freaked us both out.
Another one, I worked at a CPW in the centre of Stratford, and some old guy had been in the shop telling us of ghost stories about the shop and the town, soon after he left we (only three of us worked there) we carried on talking about them when there was a very strong smell of burning coming from the front of the shop, we got on our hands and knees to smell it, and it seemed to be coming from the cellar, we went into the cellar to investigate and stood underneath the window, but there was nothing, no smell of smoke nothing, we went back upstairs and the smell had gone. There were also reports from other members of staff that when working alone they heard footsteps on the exposed floorboards coming from the next floor up (no-one else had access to the building) and you could see if anyone walked passed the counter to go up the stairs, it was a freaky old place.
A week later I had a call from the alarm company saying our alarm was going off, I got to the shop at about 12:30 at night (alone) to find the smoke cloke had gone off, I had to enter the shop and proceed to check the two floors above the shop for signs of entry, there were no signs of forced entry, nothing had fallen off the shelves (There was a top floor with one rear window (which was shut) and a pitch black attic room to the right which had to be investigated (the attic room was supposedly haunted)......that was the longest couple of hours I had to spend alone in the shop whilst waiting for the smoke to clear.
