A strange thing happened last week

jim2014 · 29-03-2017 03:44PM #1

The Mrs and I were outside the back of the house making an adjustment to the bird station when I clearly heard a footstep in the gravel which sounded like it was only feet away (we were both stood still). It was a really obvious walking footstep sound (heal going in first then crunch as the sole comes down). The thing is there was no-one else around. The nearest neighbour is 50 yards away behind a row of trees. I asked the Mrs if she heard that & she said she did.
Now I'm not freaked out by it. I don't believe in ghosts and even if there were any it wouldn't bother me.
I'm just interested if anything similar has happened to anyone else, or even better if anyone can come up with a rational explanation.
It was just weird.

It's ok just your mrs releasing a dry crackling fart she just didn't want to say anything

"Adjustment to the bird station".
Kinky.

Did you check for one of those camouflage lads, like in the lottery ads?

This viral advertising for Ghost in the Shell is scraping the barrel isn't it?

Probably the gravel under your feet moving with the weight of your body, even if you were standing still.

Did you notice any angelic statues nearby that looked like they were weeping?

Pac1Man · 29-03-2017 03:55PM

Jim I can confirm that this was a gigantopithecus.

Best of luck.

Should I bother watching Dr. Who?

Never got in to the "reboots".

It's a mole or badger. Move house.

When I was about 16 I had an electric guitar. I left it leaning against the edge of the couch with the strings facing in one evening and walked out of the room. As soon as I was outside the room I heard the twang of strings like someone had raked their fingers over them in an open strum. I stopped in my tracks. No-one else around and the guitar hadn't moved when I went in.
Probably deserves it's own thread but I'll leave it here.

Could it have been a Pokemon?

Yeah, it gets good with David Tennant and excellent with Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi

So, you're with your honey and you're making out when the phone rings. You answer it and the voice says "What are you doing with my daughter?". You tell the girl and she says "But my dad is dead!"

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

In before the lock!

Donald O' Conner; " I hear singing and there's no one there. "

Sounds like our Donald's a prime candidate for a check up from the neck up .....

110% a ghost.

Mr.Crinklewood · 29-03-2017 06:17PM

Perhaps it was 'a potential terrorist attack "

Chances are it was an animal. I.e. Rabbit, or cat. Something that would get away quickly

No way it's a ghost it's the only explanation.
