    Stumbled across this thread and havent read it all yet.

    Just 20 minutes ago creepy thing happened.
    Sitting at my desk here working away in the spare room, some laminated sheets came crashing down off the wall, two of the four fell at the same time, they arent connected as in there's still two sheets on the wall that would have been between them. Coat hanger fell inside the wardrobe and a swiss ball that is in on the inside of the bed just came gently rolling down the bed and bounced across the floor.
    No explanation, there's no windows open or anything like that.

    Sorry folks, but it is all BLX.

    But whatever you felt, you felt at the time.

    I want so much for my deceased relatives to tell me they are OK but that does not happen. EVER. When you are gone you are gone. Sadly, but I remember the great memories, that is all we have.

    I took a picture on Christmas Day probably 8 years ago. My Dad died 2 months before, anyway in picture I caught this large orb, and as clear as day I see my dad's face in that orb.
    Still have pic.

    I guess its something that will divide people forever, some get great solace from the thought of it. Others prefer not too.

    I attended a friend's party a couple of summers ago and took photos of her and friends in her garden. The photos had a big black smear over most of my phone screen. Other photos taken before and after, elsewhere, turned out fine. There's a horrible history to the place, and she has since moved out, having had nothing but misery most of the time she lived there.

    Please post pictures for analysis?

    I don't even have the phone anymore, sorry. I never thought of transferring photos to my computer. Or even showing it to anyone except my then boyfriend who wasn't that interested.
    Could something have got into the phone and worked its way out again during that time, like dust?

    More than likely a small bit of debris you didn't notice at the time on the lens
    A tiny particle looks huge on the resulting photos when stuck to the lens
    Most likely fell off the lens after you finished taking photos and put the phone down or in pocket/bag etc
    Pity you haven't still got the photos but hey ho!! :)

    This is a little creepy and unnerving and it might be able to be reasonably explained, but I'm still a bit freaked.
    I was watching tv with my boyfriend the other day and lots of boring ads were on and we weren't taking much notice. There was an ad on and I suddenly starting singing 'Getting to Know You..' this random song I wasn't even aware I knew. The next ad (which definitely hadn't started, my boyfriend confirmed) had that song as it's backing music. It's the AIB ad I think with the family in it and the little boy who calls him Dad at the end. I was completely unaware but he was freaked by the whole thing and drew my attention to it. We were talking and I was saying how maybe those two ads usually follow each other on tv and maybe I subconsciously began to recognise the next track, but it was unlikely. We decided to keep an eye out for both ads and see if they followed each other on tv, they don't. I just don't understand how I started singing it as if I knew it was coming. So bizarre and not the first time something like that has happened.

    I was minding a two year old before in a rented house. Corner House (so nobody would have walked past the window the way it was positioned). Sitting on the back step playing and she came and sat on my knee. Kept looking over my shoulder and then asked Lara, who's that man. What man, I said. The man standing over there (pointing into the kitchen). Off she jumped and skipped off into the garden singing. Never so freaked out in my life 😂 apparently not the first time she had said and done things like that.

    Anyway reason you do not post this? This would be very unusual to see a face in an Orb.

    A friend of mine lives in a really old house and her brother is in a wheelchair and needs to be lifted in/out of bed. They put him to bed and when they got up the next morning his bedroom door was locked from the inside. It obviously wasn't him and still to this day they've no idea how the door was locked.

    I don't why this is but I got with girl when I was 21, never met her granny she died about three weeks before and I in her room and suddenly I could smell something in the room and described the smell to her and she said that her grandmother used to wear a perfume that smelled like that. I never felt unnerved by it though. It has happened to me a few times with different people after that. I smell a perfume belonging to a dead person allegedly. I don't know if what I am smelling is coming off a dead person or what. This I can not know as I never seen a ghost. I also heard scratching noises near the wall, in different houses I visited, but that could be rats or mice if all I know.

    Most unusual stuff I have experienced is UFO stuff, Never seen an alien, ghosts or strange creature though. I freak mostly likely if I saw a something other than a human being.

    Years ago we were driving on a windy back road down to see my granny and when driving along a pheasant flew right infront of the car and dad hit the brakes but the poor pheasant got a good wallop of the bumper. Dad didn't want to leave the bird in pain so we went to find him so he could put it out of it's misery, we looked for 5 minutes and could not find him.

    On the way back from grannys about 12 hours later at the spot we hit the pheasant dad joked we should slow down to incase the pheasant came out in front of the car, and he did he hobbled across the road in front of us and off into the grass on the other side of the road, his wing was hanging off so we pulled in again to look for him and again we could not find him.

    It was so weird, only a bit of longish grass and a big wall two feet from the road and twice we looked, the second time he knew exactly where he went but no joy, David Copperfield stuff.

    When I was 6 I went to the All Ireland final in Croke Park with my dad, two adults and two kids in the neighbours car and after the match one of the kids wanted to try get on the pitch so I went with him, not realising it's 10 foot high.

    I ended up losing them all and didn't know what to do I was terrified and walked around the Cusack for a while and couldn't find them so I just headed off, somehow after quite a bit of wandering around I found the car on Hollybank Road. I remember being at the car for ages wondering why the adults who can walk faster than me were taking so long, the relief on my dad started crying when he saw me, ma would have battered him.

    I have a pretty creepy one. I was visiting my granny in Limerick a few years ago (She's still going strong at 90!). When we were in the sitting room in the evening she started telling me a story of an incident that occured during her childhood. She grew up in Kildysart in Clare, with many brothers and sisters. A common folk myth at the time was that a rag and bone man dressed in black was a ominous sign that something terrible has happened, or is about to happen. She was around 10 years old and she was walking home from a friends house. She heard a creaking noise behind her, moved to the side of the road and looked up. A rag and bone man, with a black cloak and a hood over his face, walked past her slowly and disappeared up the road. She was terrified and ran home to tell her parents. When she reached her house, she found her mother slumped in a kitchen chair, bawling her eyes out. Her father informed her that her brother, Dinny, who had been swimming in the lake with friends, had drowned and passed away about an hour ago.

    She told me that it still haunts her to this day. I realise it sounds ridiculous, but it sure gave me an awful fright!

    ^^^^^^^^

    Did nobody ever suggest to those Rag and bone men to be careful with their attire......

    A few years ago I was at a party in my friends, the lads, wives and kids were there. At one stage for about 5 minutes all the lads were in one room alone, the shortest friendship between any two lads in the room was 20 years and all very close, most of us have no brothers.

    We were having great craic and there was a period of silence and in this moment I have never felt so uncomfortable, it felt like my soul had left me and something awful had happened, I was numb. I was so troubled I started pacing and I asked the lads if they felt anything, none did and I told them I thought something terrible had happened. I was so upset I left the room and started to cry, when I composed myself I went out to my wife as I needed a hug and ressurance.

    A few weeks later I got the awful news one of the lads had taken his own life, the last time any of us saw him was in the room at the party. One the lads was talking to our friend that died and remembered him saying this is great for the soul. I am convinced he decided he was going to take his life when we were all together and I picked up on the atmosphere. It really upsets me three years on that maybe I could have pressed the lads on how they were feeling.

    I wouldnt call this creepy or unnerving but fits in the thread.

    Back before my wife and I were engaged, we got the news her dad had cancer and he didnt have long left, we both got on great with him.

    My wife and I knew we would get married and had decided to tell him we would get married. Thankfully we got a call from the hospital before he passed and we got some time alone with him before he passed, told him we were going to get married and I would look after his wife and daughters.

    For the wedding I wanted to say a few words about him and my mother and law was happy for me to speak for them all. I was unable to come up with something before the wedding and on the morning I was a man inspired and felt so relaxed, it felt like he was helping me. I rang my wife to see how they were doing and she said they all felt like he was with them.

    We had the feeling all day, I struggled through the speech and the rest of day was a cakewalk.

    Roll on to the day we received the wedding album, and there is a picture at the in laws house just before the girls were about to leave. Her dad was very punctual and would have hated the arrive a few minutes late thing, in the reflection of the windscreen you can see him on the doorstep having a cigarette.

    Sure, my phone is pants and the album in kinda stippled but its still very clear. My friend, a woman in her 30s was photographer and the only man at the house all day was the chaffeur who is in the picture and you can see its not him.

    Love this picture :)
