Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

The unnerving thing was they found the top half was eaten of each body. The lotion is a 48hour marinade so they thought better off than eating the legs too soon.

Chianti and fava beans optional.

I guess I could believe in an afterlife, and spirits carrying on into another life. But what I don't get about some of the stories that always crop up is why are spiritis always sad? Always crying or howling..why they usually appear at night? Why spirits of loved ones would try 'hide' from us, if they can speak and can become visible why don't they come and continue living with us but in ghost form. why can they suddenly turn visible and invisible and what are they mad of..a gas? Why would they present themselves as the form you remember them in when they died, especially wearing the exact same clothes they had on when they died , how come they aren't naked ghosts especially if they're trying to scare us. Why would a ghost figure have to continue on physically looking like how they did at death when it is merely their spirit that is continuing to exist..why would a ghost be able to create the vibration/sound wavelength that would be picked up by our ears if they are not physical beings themselves

Idk a lot of things like this make me think a lot of them are just human mind playing tricks on them. Im not really putting it down, and some of these stories are seriously creepy! But I guess I was just thinking about it and questioning it.

I can see the reflection alright, I just don’t see anything in the slightest resembling a person though

Same all I see is a pink flower reflection? Inside the car it too dark, I don't see a person and I have zoomed in. Am I looking at the wrong area?

its a strange one alright , just one side of the face ? would be the persons left ? top of head about half way on side window , to the right of the round pinky reflection thing? had to look twice you can see it better if you dont zoom in
probably a double exposure , but it would be some coincidence

actually just looked again and zoomed in , is there a bit of the left shoulder ?

Could you draw in what you're seeing in MS Paint and post it up?

Is it hard to get your hands on this meat lotion or will the seller just snap your hands off ?
I have a notion about the meat lotion ... !
Certainly would make you think twice about who and why someone is applying the Meat...er.... Sun Lotion .
Does this meat lotion go with alternative meats or better still with Vegetarian / Vegan stuff .

I agree by the way but there's a hospital in Cork (St Finbarre's with 2 heavily haunted buildings, top floors coincidentally) where a lot of incidents have been reported as taking place during the day.

I think we'd all prefer a spirit to visit us and do a bit of stand up for us

"wooooooh, heres one,
Two ghosts walk into a bar.....and right through it as they are oblivious to its existence as they are from the 15th Century

Im here in perpetuity folks, dont forget to tip your waitress"

I've seen shadows out of the corner of my eye on a few occasions, once I was sat on my bed watching TV and out of the corner of my eye a shadow darted forward, freaked me out, last week I was walking home and out of the corner of my eye again I could have sworn I saw someone walking beside me, I turned my head and no one was there.

Shadow people?. My friend experienced this phenomenon when he was a teenager after messing around with the Ouija board. This experience could have messed with his mind though. If you're frightened your mind may play tricks on you. I don't know enough about the phenomenon to talk about it though.

Meat lotion.

The kind cannibals use

Y know , makes your legs a bit numb.

They run specific tests for it in hospital. The lab is flat out analysing for cannibal meat lotion.

They get results within the day.

I think the weirdest part of that story is you believed it

That was how the story unfolded, yes i see every one making fun about the meat lotion, which i now realise isnt a thing, it was a skin numbing lotion/cream that cannibals in that area of peru have been known to use. I never said they got results within the day. While i do applaud everyones skepticism this is a true story and the girl was traumatised from it so i hope every one gets a good laugh out of it.

Reminds me of a verse from a Pink Floyd song (Comfortably Numb):

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

What lotion used for to paralysis them, just guessing?

RhubarbCrumble · 26-02-2018 02:24PM

It's an urban legend.

An updated version of the 'girl goes home with guy, kisses him then leaves, gets rash on her face, goes to doctor and is told it's a rash you only get from kissing corpses. Police discover guy is a cannibal/necrophile and has 3 corpses in the spare room'.

This is just the 2018 version.

DeepBlue · 26-02-2018 03:11PM

There's also the fact that a story like that would be plastered all over the tabloids and everyone would have heard of it.

Many years ago I was spending a couple of nights in my grandparents house, I was about 14 years old at the time. I awoke during the night to the sound of a child crying from outside the window of the bedroom I was staying in. Not a babies cry but more of a toddlers sorrowful crys. It sounded like sobbing. When I went to take a look out the window the crying suddenly stopped. Some time later, I had no clock so I cant be exaclty sure when, I was awakened again by the same sound, went to look and suddenly stopped. I thought I must had been dreaming, or that the sound was probably a cat, whose squeal had caught the wind, for it was stormy outside, and that made it sound like a child.

The next morning I had forgotten about the sounds. The following night I was lying awake reading a book and the crying began again. It was clearer this time, as there was much less wind, but as soon as I looked it was gone. I eventually fell asleep and awoke not to crying but to the gentle sound of tapping and scraping on the window. Needless to say I was terrified by this and did not leave my bed again....

The next day I left and on the drive home I mentioned what had happened to my grandfather, who looked slightly shocked but dismissed it as a bad dream.

When I got home I told my parents what happened and they looked at each other and didn't say much more about it.
I discovered some years later that my grandparents had a son who died when he was about 3 years old from TB , in that very room I had stayed in!

That sent chills down my spine.... and its cold enough out

It certainty playing tricks on your friend. None of this is real. Especially Ouija Boards.

The Ouija was invented by an American toy manufacturer in 1890 after they studied the Ideomotor effect and tried (successfully) to design a game out of it. It's supposed to be a toy for children. Here is their patent.

Ouija was a trademarked game by the Parker Brothers, whose other products include Monopoly, Cluedo, Scrabble, Risk and Trivia Pursuit. Currently it's owned by Hasbro.

The next time you see an adult spiritualist or whatever using a Quija board, remind yourself they are playing a toy by the Parker Brothers. The original version of the game didn't even mention dead people, it was all about having fun with your unconscious movements. Nutters started inventing their own backstory to the Ouija board, making it out to be a lot older than what it is, mystical, and for contacting dead people. It's all nonsense. It's a board game made by people who make board games.

Well these so called 'talking boards' were common place in America long before the Parkers Brothers came along - they saw their popularity and decided to patent the idea.

This creeped me and the rest of the family out.
My 3 yr nephew stands up and exclaims he "wants to go play with Maggy". His mother goes, what? And he repeats he wants to go play with Maggy. We're all looking bemused. "Who's Maggy?" we ask. "She's an old woman and she wants to play football with me". "Where is she?" "She's outside".
There was nobody outside and the only old lady called Maggy we know of was our mum's aunty, who died 40-50 years ago

Did she like a game of football ?

DanMurphy · 26-02-2018 04:16PM

This house is about four hundred years old and I'll have lived here forty years next June.
Ghosts?
I used to be a skeptic, but not anymore.
There's history here, as in any house that age.
I've researched the place as best I could when I first bought it back in 1978 as that's how I am...curious about local history.
I spoke to the old folks, some in their 90s, and an old man of 102 gave me the 'run down' on the history of the house.
I reared my family here, and they're all left home now and my first wife died twelve years ago.
Every member of the family had ' ghostly experiences' in this house.

I hesitate to say this on an open forum, but shortly after her death I saw my late wife here.
She walked down the hall toward me and into the kitchen where I was.
She was wearing her 'not a happy camper'/ distressed /' I've lost my handbag' look on her face, and wearing the clothes we buried her in. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. (I think I done both at the same time)

Her 'presence' lasted about five seconds as we stood face to face.
I don't know which of us was the most shocked, and her expression changed suddenly from 'unhappy camper' to 'Thanks God....there you are!'

My kids used to 'see' a clergyman on the stairs, peeking through the banisters at them as they lay in bed.
Sure enough, there was an incident here in the distant past before we came here involving a clergyman. It made the papers at the time.

Footsteps upstairs, 'people' seen with the corner of the eye crossing the landing, ''someone' sitting on the bed in the middle of the night and you're **** scared to look up, though you're wide awake!

Shortly before my wife died (we slept in single beds in the same room) I woke to see a figure bending over her as if whispering in her ear!
I jumped up in bed, and the 'figure' slowly vanished.
I had seen that 'figure' before, but outside the house in the yard.

I know, I know...imagination is a great thing and there are die-hard skeptics, but still...

Yes, she used to kick about with one of my uncles when he was a boy.

I've never had anything creepy happen to me personally but when I'm at home with my daughter who is 12, if it's particularly windy outside it makes a whistling sound that somrtimes sounds like a scream.

I tell her that it's the cry's of a young girl called Rebecca.

I tell them that long before there were houses in the area, Rebecca lived where our house stands with her Mother and Father and her older brother Michael.

One evening Rebecca has an argument with her brother and shortly after she is sent out to the shed to get milk from the goat.

Michael follows her out where the argument continues.

It ends when Michael takes the milk bucket from Rebecca and bludgeons her to death with it.

Right at the spot between our house and our neighbour's

Who knows, maybe my daughter will post here at some point in the future with a story to tell.

SidekickSimon · 26-02-2018 05:29PM

I used to bring my little dog to a nearby forest a couple of times a week for a good run around. The dog was in his element there and loved nothing more than to be let off the leash and go for a good run. There was a main path through the woods, about a mile long, which looped around. There was also a smaller path that veered off the main path and went deeper into the woods, that was the path I sometimes took. Several times I went on the smaller path I met a woman, about 35 years old, she was always wearing the same clothes, slightly old fashioned and quite tatty. My dog used to go crazy when we came across this woman, barking and growling, bearing his teeth in a snarl. This was unusual as my dog never barked at people, only other dogs. The woman never bothered about the dog, never even stopped to look at it. I would apologise to her for the dogs behaviour but she just stared ahead and kept on walking.
One day on the smaller path we met the woman and as usual the dog went nuts, even before she appeared he was clearly distressed. She came along and went by, I kept him strained on the leash. I stopped for a few minutes there to calm the dog down, he was fine when the woman disappeared from view. A couple came along the path, from the same direction the woman had disappeared down. We got talking and I mentioned how my dog always goes nuts when that woman goes past, they said they had seen no one on the path except me. I thought this was odd but I guessed the woman must have walked into the woods and not met them.
About a week later, same story, met the woman, dog goes nuts. A bit on up the path I came across workmen who were felling a tree, they said I couldn’t go any further, path was blocked. Out of curiosity I asked them how the woman had got past them, they said they had seen no one on the path that day.
Never been fully explained but we stuck to the main path after that and never saw the lady again !

retro:electro · 26-02-2018 06:17PM

This isn't really creepy, more coincidental. But a few weeks ago I was at home in my Mam's and tidying up after the dinner. She was telling me and my sister about a dream she'd had the night previous, about a priest from her childhood who never abused her but abused her best friend. In her dream the priest had managed to get her alone and well, you can guess the rest. Just as she was telling this story I kid you not, I was depositing the remainder of our dinners into some newspaper for disposal when who did I see looking up at me- the very priest she was speaking about. It was his obituary in the paper, he had recently passed. Now of course there's an obvious explanation to this, maybe she'd heard of his passing or passively seen the obituary without acknowledging it but she is adamant that she didn't know he had died and only found out there and then. Bizarre anyway whichever way you look at it.

I never used it myself I have no interest really. He just told me he experienced weird crap after using it, he was very young though, that's what I think his mind was playing tricks with him. If you scare yourself odd things can happen to you.

A weird one, but recently I was in Colorado, doing some work for the US dept of energy. A staff scientist there and ex-park ranger offers to bring me up to Pike's national park. Nonchalantly he points to a location where he's seen bear, coyote, elk and Sasquatch as in bigfoot. He didn't enlarge on it apart from saying it never got down on four legs, it wasn't a bear and it was what it was. Here was a man of exceptionally high intelligence, adept at knowing the local wildlife who believes he seen a large 7 foot wild man in the forest. That was creepy.

Mr.Wemmick · 26-02-2018 07:32PM

My grandfather, when he was alive, told a story about when he was a younger man being employed with 2 or 3 other local men to regularly upkeep the large old land-owner house in the area. None of the men liked the job, but as it was well paid none ever refused. They were usually hired to paint, fix loose tiles, repair windows and paint the outside wood work. The work usually took a week or two every Summer, more depending on the jobs needed doing, I guess.

My grandfather said no matter the heat of the day it was always a cold and drafty place and the men’s jackets were off when out walking the roads home, but their jackets were rarely off when around the outside of house unless it was a particularly difficult job up on the roof in the sun. There was no banter, laughs, they just put their heads down and did the job as quickly as they could, saving the jokes/ the talk for the walk back out the drive onto the public road.

My grandfather always had dogs and at that time one of his dogs went everywhere with him. The dog, however, would never go down the lane to that house, but sit at the gate on the road waiting for the men to walk back up to the road.

He would never go into too much detail, don’t think he wanted to scare us youngsters.. but I do think he saw or heard a thing or two that frightened him. He did say once he had to go and work at the house on his own one day and said afterwards never again and always made sure another lad was with him to do the jobs. He was an articulate, well-read man and no doubt was able to persuade the owner whatever job needed doing it require two or more men to do it.

I wish I listened more carefully to his stories when I was younger.. he had many. When you’re young, you think they will live forever.

Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?
