    When I was about 9 or 10, I remember playing with my sister and her friend just up the road from our house, it was dark enough about 9pm and it was the week before going back to school so we were milking our play time. So we were just messing around near the ditch when, from nowhere, a big beautiful gold car from I estimate 1930s appeared about 5 or 6 feet above the chimney of a house across the street. just literally floating in the air.

    It was the light that caught us off guard so we all ducked by instinct as if it were a bomb but we all looked up and saw this car just floating in the air. I don't remember feeling any fear, just a sense of what the hell is that?? It was there about 6 seconds at most then it just vanished. We all saw it and we all looked at each other in amazement but my young mind couldn't process what it meant so it kind of just got laughed off.

    It was only years and years later that I read about the phenomenon of "Time slips" where people or objects can get trapped in the space time fabric and appear in our dimension briefly. I have never had any paranormal experience before or since and I don't bother telling this to people because I cant be arsed justifying it to the cynics. It happened, I saw it happen, my sister and her friend also saw it.

    Weird thing is, now we are middle aged, we all forgot many many things from our past but whenever the "gold car" is brought up, we all just nod and are lost for words to explain what we saw that night.

    This!!! There are, indeed, clips on YouTube: Of random places in the world. Random times? Exactly that sort of sound has started. People are stopping, in streets. Staring up. Coming out of work buildings, Staring up. Staring at each other; " W T F ?! ".

    And I'm SO f**king glad I've never been part of it!

    I'm just not sure I could ever come out the other side of that sh!t!

    In my place of work we used to do a thing called "ring rolling" of steel. We had a 24 hour shift on it for about a month or so until we eventually stopped it at night time because the people in surrounding estates complained. It sounds exactly like you described, and it does happen in short bursts followed by some silences.


    What was it that you were working at? What exactly was the ring rolling of steel?

    I have watched a documentary or a report on this I think, definately heard of it before, never been explained though. Generally considered E.T.

    Aha: Found something

    "Apocalyptical Trumpets"

    Sounds great eh!

    Sorry. It is a steel engineering plant.

    This is the kind of thing we used to do except when it's angles or channels it really screams, and it's incredibly similar to something from a horror movie.

    Not creepy or unnerving, granted, but I do think this was an incredible coincidence.

    I had one debit card from one bank, which I was given a pin code for when the card was issued. About a year later I got another debit card from a different bank, and was issued the same four-digit pin! It certainly surprised me!

    Not creepy, just a bit odd. I've work placement as part of an apprenticeship starting in a couple of weeks. So my manager got me into a place based up in Rathcoole and gave me his mobile number to ring to introduce myself.
    I thought she'd made a mistake and handed me my own number but no, this chap Anthony has the exact same number as me, bar one digit!! :eek:

    Not sure if creepy but…

    I was driving to work one morning last Summer, usually I would leave home around 8am but this particular morning I had to be in early so I left home at 6am.

    Naturally the roads were deserted at that time, anyway as I made my way to the M11 via Rathnew I approached the last roundabout before the merge road only to find it was blocked by an old dark blue Astra.

    When I was close enough to make out the reg plate two male occupants quickly got out and both were making direct eye contact with me as they ran towards me, I had already decided from some distance back (as I assumed they were broken down) that I would drive around them on the wrong side of the road and get on the roundabout that way.

    But when they saw me make that manoeuvre they ran back into their car covering their faces from my view, I thought it very strange and continued on my journey to work in Loughlinstown.

    When I think back on it… I get the feeling I was about to be carjacked or worse!!!

    There's a couple of things that make me a bit nervous of this story - it may be worth (if you're in a position to recommend it) getting the electrics checked, there may be minor surges or a fraying wire somewhere that's causing odd jolts and machines to pick them up. That it's an old building with sections closed down/unused makes me more suspicious of it. That could get dangerous.

    I got nothing for the rest of it, you have some weird stuff going on there!

    Does anyone know of St. Kevin's in Cork? It's part of the group of sanatorium buildings up on Summerhill, the main part (St. Anne's/St. Ita's) is now Atkins Hall. St Kevin's is a grim redbrick building off to the side of it and it is beyond creepy as a place. I'm not particularly a believer, but that building has always given me the serious "bad place" vibes. A group of friends went into it (paranormal society - and no, they shouldn't have been in there!), including one that is a truthful and down-to-earth sort that told me of their experiences in there. I don't recall all of it, but some points that I do remember;

    The first and second floors were littered with rubbish and needles, graffiti tagging, etc. Above the third floor, which is where they had most of their weird experiences, there was nothing. It was like people just didn't want to go up there or sleep up there. It's set up as a long hall with stairs at either end, so two routes up and down on each floor. They oriented themselves by the images or marks on the wall on each floor. Each floor had some specific marker - there was a cross at the stairwell from one floor, three pictures on the wall of floor 3, etcetera.

    All of them described an odd sense of disorientation when they entered, particularly as they moved up the building. They danced around the word explaining it, but they were having the feeling of madness, although it's also explainable by nerves and possibly sick building syndrome. But although it was laid out in a very straight-forward way, they did find themselves getting confused by it.

    They split up for a bit, two of the group including friend who I'll call B going up to the floor above (third floor) and that's when things started getting very strange. B and friend entered a room off the corridor on floor 3 and saw a bottle of air freshener (or something) that they'd seen on the floor below on the same table, etc. Furthermore, it appeared to be exactly the same room. Annoyingly, and I've been trying to remember what exactly happened but I can't. Something about calling a friend up from below, hearing him walking on the corridor on the second floor and then entering the room from the second floor.

    A group including B continued on to the top floor, the fourth, entering rooms cautiously one by one down the corridor when one of them spotted a dark shape moving down at the far end. It resolved itself into a male figure, who just stood and stared at them. Thinking it might be one of the rest of the group, they called to him, but he made no response and continued watching them. Then he started moving down the corridor towards them and they decided not to wait to see if he was a random junkie, they scarpered. As they legged it down the stairs from 4 to 3, they noted the three pictures on the wall arranged in a triangle that was the decoration in that stairwell and continued down to the second - which had the three pictures on the wall again. Somehow, they'd gone from the third floor to the second and ended up on the third again. Note - it does not appear from the outside that there is five floors on one side and four on the other, even though it is built on a hill.

    They got as far as the entrance to the NO ENTRY basement level which was very solidly barred from the outside (albeit accessible). Their nerves failed them on that point and I don't blame them a bit!

    I wish I could tell that story better, but I've forgotten too much of it. It creeped me the hell out at the time though and I wouldn't go in there (I'm a wuss, yes). But as far as I know, while St Annes and St Itas are being revived and turned into flats, no-one's touching St. Kevin's despite it only being abandoned since 2002. It has an ill reputation and a grim history of cruelty and neglect.

    Pretty creepy in itself to come back to this thread after a long hiatus from reading it about an hour ago, read this post, and then flick to my FB newsfeed to find it's on fire as I type :eek:

    Probably lads blocking it so their friend could do donuts

    I was in Paris many years ago and there was fortune tellers on the street trying to drum up business. Anyway I was exploring Paris and this really old man who was one of the fortune fellers grabbed my arm and said 'please I need to speak to you please' it feaked me out so I ran off and he chased me for a bit whilst shouting about something terrible in my future.

    I don't believe in that stuff but still creepy.

    Aye, it's the same place. The name's always been a bit changeable, thought St Ita's/St Anne's was the main grey building that's now Atkins Hall, but maybe St Anne's is the name for the whole site. That redbrick building that's burning is St Kevin's though. I'm torn between it being a loss architecturally and historically for Cork and a strong feeling of "good riddance" to dark place. Tbh, when someone told me I asked was it accident, arson or closing a hellmouth.

    St Kevin's was operational from 1897ish (may be 1877) to 2002, built as an annex to the main grey-stone hospital. It was run as a mental hospital for the male patients (the women were over in the grey building) and it was repeatedly condemned by inspections throughout its history, including an impressive run of 10 outraged condemnations by inspectors every year throughout the 1930s. Things never really noticeably improved (I read a lot about this several years ago, but I've forgotten a lot now), the patients were treated like animals; quite a few patients through the years escaped long enough to drown themselves in the weir of the Liffey River Lee (thanks Conor) running at the foot of the hill.

    It is - or was - an imposing building, but it pretty much symbolises the Victorian approach of making the places for the unwanted look beautiful on the outside and hide the neglect and cruelty within. Its always had a dark feel to it and while this is all very subjective, I'm not the only one to think it.

    It suffered badly from vandalism on the lowest floors and litter and abandoned equipment were still inside. It was probably only a matter of time before it went up in flames. It's a shame from the point of view of a landmark in Cork, but imo, it wasn't a building developers would have an easy time with. It didn't surprise me much that they stuck to St. Itas for renovation.

    Edit: Ah, here's a post I wrote about it years ago, while I was actually reading about it and had the info to hand :). http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=59961417&postcount=38

    Lee?

    Was waiting at the bridge in Shanakiel for my regular Friday evening lift back to Kerry in the early 90s. Car stopped at bridge. A young man got out of the back seat, stepped onto the parapet of the bridge and threw himself in. Elderly couple got out of the car, distraught.

    Was amazed at how quickly people reacted, some walkers jumped in from the banks of the river and, in a time before mobiles, within minutes a net had been slung from the Shaky Bridge by Gardai who turned up immediately. Never knew what happened him though, but didn't read of any deaths afterwards so assumed he survived.

    I guess it qualifies as an unnerving event. When I told Cork people the following week, they pointed out that it was probably a psychiatric patient collected by his parents. Not sure if that's on the route to St. Kevin's or was it some other hospital.

    *facepalm* Lee. Liffey is in Dublin, yes. Cough. I only lived on the banks of the bloody thing for five years :D

    Poor guy. One'd like to think that the place had been sorted out by the 1990s, but it wasn't exactly decent by the 80s and we know what else we had going on behind closed doors in institutions even in the 1990s so..god knows.

    On a lighter, yet sad note, I used to work my dog around the grounds of the hospital, great roaming space there back about 20 years ago. I was walking there one summer day and I kept hearing "<bang> <bang> hey, heeeeey" couldn't pin point it. Eventually noticed it was a fella in a window, when he saw me he'd wave. He kept doing it when I looked away. I had to get out of his line of sight for his own safety.

    I had something similar happen to me, I had a 4 digit pin for unlocking my phone that I had picked because of a certain significance with the corresponding letters on those number keys so I would remember it. I ordered a bank card and the pin number was the exact same as my unlock code. I still have the same pin number today.

    I work in a building that has a very colorful history and ticks every box on paper for somewhere that should have supernatural happenings. It's an old building where they've gutted the insides and replaced them with more modern design, however the exterior shell of the building is still the same. I'm often working late in the building finishing around 9:30 PM, usually the one of the security guards comes in to me at about 9:15 PM just to let me know he's locking up soon and to make sure everybody is out of the building. So this one night I'm working there alone, everybody else has left already, the room I'm working in is connected to the next room by a door which the bottom is wooden and the top half is made of frosted glass. Any I'm working away just trying to finish off a last bit of work and out of the corner of my eye I see some shadow moving through the frosted glass but I pass it off as tiredness and the light in the other room is turned off so I just passed it off as my mind playing tricks. I go back to my work when all I hear is a groan coming from the other room, I look up and there is a large figure probably around 7 ft tall with what looked like a disfigured face. I was absolutely ****ting myself at this point and I wanted to run out the other door but I was frozen in place with fear. All of a sudden the door flew open and standing there was you guessed it one of the security guards absolutely pissing himself with laughter.
    Now I know what you're thinking but you have to understand that this place is creepy as **** at night. There is actually a second probably more interesting part to this story which is actually my reason for posting here. So after the security guard had finished having a good laugh at me and the colour in my face started to return, we started chatting about the history of the place and the weird **** that that used to go on there. So being curious I asked him have you or any of the other lads ever actually seen or heard anything. He looks at me twice and says here listen don't tell anybody about this because I could lose my job over this but check this out, he then proceeds to whip out his phone where he starts showing me video recordings from the cctv cameras in the building. He had videos of lights turning on and off by themselves when he knew 100% there was nobody left in the building. He also had a couple of clips of fire escape doors opening and closing by themselves and these are the type where you have to push down on the metal bar to open them. Also the camera's in my building are the new modern sort so no blocky one frame a minute type stuff, these cameras record in high quality. He was saying that the owners have been aproached by investigators on a number of occasions before but the owners don't want anything to do with them.

    Any I'm working away just trying to finish off a last bit of work and out of the corner of my eye I see some shadow moving through the frosted glass but I pass it off as tiredness and the light in the other room is turned off so I just passed it off as my mind playing tricks. I go back to my work when all I hear is a groan coming from the other room, I look up and there is a large figure probably around 7 ft tall with what looked like a disfigured face. I was absolutely ****ting myself at this point and I wanted to run out the other door but I was frozen in place with fear.

    I think I would probably have dropped dead of fright at that point and come back to haunt the building thoroughly and with a vengeance, specifically that security guard!

    That's funny about the doors I was doing night's in a building that dates back to the 1800s with a very long history of the care of people with disabilities . Same thing door slamming violently shut . And I'm the biggest sceptic going

    I work in a building that has a very colorful history and ticks every box on paper for somewhere that should have supernatural happenings. It's an old building where they've gutted the insides and replaced them with more modern design, however the exterior shell of the building is still the same. I'm often working late in the building finishing around 9:30 PM, usually the one of the security guards comes in to me at about 9:15 PM just to let me know he's locking up soon and to make sure everybody is out of the building. So this one night I'm working there alone, everybody else has left already, the room I'm working in is connected to the next room by a door which the bottom is wooden and the top half is made of frosted glass. Any I'm working away just trying to finish off a last bit of work and out of the corner of my eye I see some shadow moving through the frosted glass but I pass it off as tiredness and the light in the other room is turned off so I just passed it off as my mind playing tricks. I go back to my work when all I hear is a groan coming from the other room, I look up and there is a large figure probably around 7 ft tall with what looked like a disfigured face.

    Imagine reading this whole thread while doing a night shift in that place, shudders

    One time I was working in a sandwich factory, scratched my balls, carried on making sandwiches...

    Five years later and the truth of how the hair came to be in my sandwich has been revealed. Some things are better left a mystery.
