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

I had a weird one not to long ago. I was delivering a packet to this old house that has been turned into 3 flats in a town called Bathgate. I normally just put the mail through the letter box on the door and so have never been inside before.

Anyway having a large packet to drop off I buzz for entry and enter. It was quite a old building and I always like the look of these old Georgian buildings. The bottom floor has been turned into a foyer; with the three flats on the top landing. So I drop off the packet to the woman and walk down the long stairs on my merry way.

About 6 steps from the botton I feel what can only be described as a Herculean push in my back. I not only clear the six steps at the bottom; I slam into the wall. I have no idea what could have down this save a ninja.

But my dad has a great one, which I think he was either drunk at the time or lying. Either way it is a good un. Way back in the 70's, when my parents were not long married they stayed in a bottom floor flat in a town called Blackburn ( The Subo one) oddly enough I stay in the same town now. So after getting home late one night from the Army base he worked at, he took the dog out for its nightly walk. We as a family have always had Afghan Hounds, as they are big, docile and generally good natured beasts.

So after walking it around the block a few times he walks it into the communal garden of the flat, planning to come in via the back door. When suddenly the dog starts making a crazed attempt to go for something in the back garden. Pulling the dog back on the lead and wondering what is making the normally quiet dog, which had never even barked before, make a frenzied attempt to attack something in the garden. He looked up and saw it.

He described the thing which was about 12 ft away as a black floating form with glowing red eyes. It stood around 5ft tall and would inch a few ft forward and back and made a sound like a pig screaming. I've never heard a pig scream but I can imagine.

So running into the flat he grabs his 2.2 air rifle and starts taking shots at this thing, which takes some balls imo. When suddenly the thing just disappates into thin air. To this day I like the curtains closed at night incase I see the red eyes in the dark.

I put it down to booze and a cars rear light with a dodgy timing belt making the scream. He did say that off all the shots he fired at it, not one pellet hole was found in the wooden fence at the back of the garden. They did move away a few months later, he put the blame on the weirdo who lived upstairs messing round with oujia boards.

I have recently considered getting a lie detector test done to prove to people I have not lied but I'm not sure about how to go about it. At the time I contacted BUFORA (British UFO organisation) who sent me out a sightings pack to fill out. When I realised It was just going to be filed under various other anonymous sightings (I dont know what else I expected) I just lost interest in filling out the form and so never ended up reporting other than a phone report. Interestingly when I posted this up on the UFO forum I did a google for any sightings in the Balcombe area and this article popped up from June 2009:

Epic story :eek: Out of interest, did the experience make you want to research the UFO phenomena, or just push it from your mind? I wouldn't worry about people not believing you - a lie detector result won't change their mind. Some people just can't accept things like that.
 

I've seen something weird like that too, but only for a few seconds. Some time last year, I was looking out of my bedroom windows (Give or take about 3-4PM) and seen a light going across the sky. I thought it was a plane or jet at first, but then it pulled some weird manoeuvre that could not be possibly with anything we have today. It kind of did a sudden loop de loop in the sky and then just shot off. Very very strange.

Although I think it'd be kind of cool to be abducted by aliens (as long as they're friendly!) in the sense that you'd be looking at something completely unknown.
 
Holy cow Leviathon!

I know it's easy to sat whilst say at the desk (with keyboard at hand) but you so should have got out of the car!

We should have an OcUK super-mini-meet there. I'd be up for it! Seriously!

Thanks guys, for what it's worth on an internet forum I'm 100% telling the truth, none of it is fabricated in any way, but yeah I know what your saying about the lie detector test. I think it's mainly for my partner and my eldest son, he's been asking about it recently (I made the mistake of mentioning it last year when he was talking about UFO's existing). I wouldn't want him to grow up thinking it was just a tall story, or my partner to think that I would randomly make something like that up lol.

Edit - After the experience, it was just utter confusion. I couldn't tell my parents and knew they would assume I was on drugs. After a time I lost all interest in the subject. I would find myself picking up a UFO magazine with a possibly sighting or some fuzzy photograph and just thinking "I've seen the bloody things!!"

Why the hell do I consist on reading this thread at night time when its dark and supposedly when more paranormal activity happens :(

Its not really a ghost story or anything but a couple of years ago just after we moved into our new house (I was around 15-16) and all my family was downstairs along with my uncle and his gf and upstairs was pitch black and all of a sudden we heard a massive bang and everyone wondered what it was but when we went to check there was nothing on the floor and nothing had fallen over.

It was quiet outside and our neighbours were quiet and it definitely came from upstairs.

And ever since then me and my mum have always thought there is something in the house as we've always seen shadows and things in the corner of our eyes but haven't ever experienced anything. (Well my Mum has but at work).

I think I would like to experience something but not when I'm alone aha (Would worry me to death)

Lol! Whilst I'm not freaked out by it, I did have the lamp on low light and a dark and eery drum and bass mix on headphones which I had to change for something a bit more upbeat! :o:o:o

I used to be a bit sketched as a child but nowadays I'd rather just tackle it head on! I've even made a point of looking at things that I'd be scared of as a child (like down the stairs/in mirrors etc).

Aha :p If its dark in my room I've always got to have some music going just to make myself think someones there (like if they were talking to me, not the ghost form) :p
 
I'd rather it be quiet so I can hear things!

I'm sure I could hear people breathing as I tried to get to sleep in the past (as in someone right next to me) but I just put it down to some other noise.

True, but then if you hear a noise you always wonder what the hell it is :p
 
Well yeah, but with headphones on and creepy music playing you're hearing all sorts of sounds and your peripheral vision will start playing mind games!

At least if you hear a noise you can try to take it on! Rather that than not hear it and be violated by something you didn't even see or hear!

I wanna see aliens though!
 
Ok first off a story that happened to me and my friends when we were really young. This was just a coincidence, but still made us brick it. My friends parents were out, so about 5, all around the age of 11 wanted to watch Candyman, so we watched the movie, was scared, then we were daring eachother to say candyman...however many times(was it 7?) in the mirror. So one of my friends done it. about 5 seconds later after he finished their was a power cut haha. whole street went pitch black, we ran out the house screaming haha. power came back on not too long after.

ANYWAY, the only wtf moment thats happened to me.

I was about 19 and was going out with this girl(cara). Her brother(Chris) had a girlfriend who was living with them, she used to treat him like crap all the time but he just put up with it. anyway, one night i went round and as soon as i walked in the front door i knew something was up, the whole house felt...just wrong. something wasnt right. i popped my head in the kitchen to say hi to her mum(Now her mums very into her ghosts and spirits and had told me many freaky stories) but before i could say anything she said "Do you feel it?" i agreed and asked what was up. She said that Chris had broken up with his girlfriend and ever since she left, the house had felt different.

So this had been going on for about a week and the feeling just didnt go. So they phoned up the spiritual church to come out and have a look. They came and agreed that their was an evil spirit in the house and it didnt like us haha. i know i know, we all laughed. But they couldn't get rid of it for some reason and had to come back the week after. So one night me and Cara were alone in the house watching a movie in bed. She was needing the toilet but was too scared to go on her own so i said i'd wait outside(Her toilet was half way up the staircase and had its own wee landing, so i waited there) to make sure she was safe. Cara came out the toilet, walked up the stairs and stood outside her bedroom door.

I on the other hand turned around, looked downstairs and jokingly shouted(while shaking my fist) "Were not scared of you!" STRAIGHT after all my hairs stood up and i felt soooo heavy, next thing, and this is without a word of a lie, my neck became red hot and felt like someone was squeezing my neck, i stood there in disbelief for about 10 seconds as the pressure got tighter, i could still breathe fine but i could tell something wasnt right, i flew up the stairs haha.

I've never ran so fast screaming in all my life haha. straight in the bedroom under the covers haha. Few days later the people came from the spiritualist church and got rid of it. The house felt normal again and we had no more trouble haha. They said that the spirit would walk about the top of the stairs and on the landing outside the toilet haha, it didnt go anywhere else. They thought it must have come from Chris's ex, they said that sometimes they latch onto people and feed off the negative energy. when she left, it stayed.
 
All alone in a student house just after Christmas. Would leave the light on over the stairs (and outside my door) every night as I hated the dark :(

One night I was just drifting off to sleep when I realised it was really dark. When I looked at the gap in my bedroom door I could see the light had switched itself off. Needless to say I was terrified. EVENTUALLY ventured out and switched it back on.

Was so glad when my housemates got back!

Edit:

The next scariest thing would be always "seeing things" in the corner of my bedroom as a child. That house never did feel quite right and I used to have terrible nightmares. A while after we moved from that house, at about age 20 or so, my dad admits to me that the owner before them had commited suicide in the room below (with a double barrel shotgun), and that his policedog had eaten a large part of him before anyone went looking :( - gives me the chills just thinking about it!!!!

Aha yeah :p I try to listen to the radio and then usually they don't play eary music but I suppose its best not to :p

As you said you can always try and take them on :p Unless they have a weapon.
 
The creepiest thing to ever happen to me was dream related:



This thread has made me terrified, not cool :(

Still, the non-nonsense dad approach comment really made me laugh :D

I was thinking that would make an awesome short horror film but it would be almost impossible to create that imagery.

It is indeed amazing what the subconscious comes up with.
 
Nah it was a bad break up. The main reason she was staying there was because her family had moved down england. so once they split, she had to move down with them.
