Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

Here is a strange one. I used to live in Donegal back in 2012. Was quite friendly with a girlie living up there at the time but we had a bit of a falling out and I went back to Cork shortly afterwards.

Bout two years ago I drove back up to Donegal for a day, met her in a shop that same day, had lost her number hadn't heard from her in years. Gave her a lift back to her house (she doesn't drive, I think)

Then the other day heading into work, way back in the backarse of Co. Kerry I find myself behind a car - I am never behind a car - the roads are blissfully empty here. Then the car stops at a crossroads so I could have a good look at the reg

12-DL and it had her name where it should say "Dun na nGall"

Confused, her name was on her reg?

This is a strange one, and Im not sure its paranormal but ill never forget it. I was having Sunday lunch with the folks a few weeks ago in a lovely country pub that we had been to many times before so we knew many of the faces there. So we were in the back of the pub chatting away, it was nice and busy but not absolutely packed.
People were coming and going and all of a sudden, a man about mid to late 40s kind of scruffy with an odd hairstyle comes in, looks around as if looking for a seat and when he locks eyes with me, the hairs on the back of my neck just stand on end and theres a distinct ripple of pure cold down my spine. He doesn't keep eye contact and then turns and walks out. My skin was crawling with Goosebumps and I felt distinctly unsettled. All this happened in the space of about 5-10 seconds and my folks didn't even notice. I try to shake it off as maybe I just sense something bad in him but ive never had that experience before with anyone. When I went up to the till to pay for my meal, I notice that the same guy is sitting near me with his family eating dinner and again, I get cold and my skin starts to prick again and I sense there is something extremely bad about this person. I paid up and left as soon as I can.

Very odd, ive never been psychic or got a particular sense about someone but this guy made my blood run cold and I haven't the slightest idea why!

Teaching teenage boys a few years back in south London and I got the same feeling from a kid, and actually everyone did. Big for his age and bigger than all the other boys, but that wasn't it: you just couldn't control him, he didn't care and when he walked into the classroom all the kids went quiet. Weird and very spooky.

I distinctly remember the chat I had about him with a senior colleague and he told me the kid was amoral, unpredictable and all the kids was afraid of him - funny he never commented on fearful teachers. :eek:
Anyway, he was expelled soon after so that was that.. but I was with my husband on a train a few years later and saw him get on. I immediately slunk down in the seat and hid. My husband couldn't get over it, me a strong female take-no-nonsense teacher, but this kid gave me the heebeegeebees. I never felt that about a kid before or since.

I wonder what happened to him.

Randomnly recalled a story this morning.
We were on holiday and met a lovely American couple, we'd meet them for a few drinks so there were good chats and we got to know them well.

Can't remember how we got onto the subject but the husband told a story.
They own and run a farm that also doubles up as a venue for functions, rural but not too rural (1hr to a City, 15 minutes to the town etc).
He was home one afternoon and felt a bit under the weather so rather than have a power nap on the couch decided to head to bed for an hour.

Some time later he woke, groggily to what he though was someone coming up the stairs to the bedroom, he thought maybe he was dreaming it or imagining it due to the illness being worse, he knew it wouldn't be the wife coming back as it was too early. Anyway he stayed still for a minute and he could know make out it was a male figure. It got to the top of the stairs, looked around and made its way over to the chest of drawers. For some reason he hadn't copped the guy was in bed. The husband actually recognised the guy as the neighour from 2 houses over (2 houses could be a mile apart) so he calmly said "Tom, don't be too alarmed but I'm actually here, I don't care what you're doing, I don't want to know, just turn around and get out of my house, I won't call the cops".

He said the guy stood for what felt like ages without saying anything, so the husband felt compelled to say "You know I have guns, don't make take it out". The figure nodded slowly without really looking at him and calmly looked back without even throwing a glance back. He said the slow walk down the stairs and out was the scariest part.
Really left him shook but he didn't want to worry the wife but obviously had to. They installed more security cameras after that.
Never mentioned it to the guy, he acted like it never happened. Though the wife did say it explained why her undies were going missing and they eventually found out from chats with others that it wasn't his first time.

Had a dream last night about the olde days when we were kids.
Strange dream to have really.
Was laughing about it this morning when a call came in to say my sister just died in England.
(RIP sis)

Not since the alien abduction and month long probe, it's been a quiet stretch.

Thanks guys.
It's been a hell of a bad luck year.
Be glad to see the back of 2018.

My sister-in-law's sister had a different kind of magnetism. She was a very wholesomely pretty girl/woman but she exuded an aura of sex appeal, likeability, was non-threatening, I can't even think of words to describe it which caught people's attention, both male and female. She could turn it on and off. I don't know if she did this instinctively or whether she was able to at will. I noticed it, particularly when I met her first in London and a group of us got on the Tube. It wasn't rush hour but the seats were full and we were standing. Within a minute everyone in the carriage was looking at her. I've never seen anything like it. Every single person gazing at her. Eyes up from newspapers, books, walkmans, whatever. I saw some beautiful women/handsome men/weird characters/threatening characters in my Tube travelling days but I never saw every single person in the vicinity looking at them the way those people gazed at that girl. In general, though she was one of those people, and there aren't many, who you immediately like, trust, want to know better, etc even when you know you shouldn't. I haven't met her for years so I don't know whether she still has this 'gift' for want of a better word.

Any pics of this siren? I’m attracted to her just reading your description. Lol.

I only know one person like that and she was astonishingly good looking, like far beyond your “yes she’s attractive” standard woman, she’s famous now. m.

Who? If she’s famous then it’s hardly a secret? An Irish person?

Is she aware of it? Make sure you teach her to use it for good. That woman I posted about although generally lovely could be pretty ruthless on occasion.

Hard to tell. She has a sister 5 years older who had the usual problems at her age.

This one just sails thru life. Winner at everything.

However, she is not particularly sociable. She's shy, likes to keep to herself & hates to be the center of attention.

Amid her peers, she has no interest in pecking orders or being 'top dog'. She doesn't care what they think about her really.

And yet they really worship her & all of them want to be her friend. I think she tolerates them rather than hurting their feelings really.

I'm not really a kiddie person myself & have as a result always been fairly hard nosed about my own kids. I'm the kind of parent that can easily say no.

Still, I sometimes look at that kid reading a book or whatever & find myself hypnotized & fascinated looking at her face & wondering at what is going on in that head of hers.

As I said before, there's something about her that really draws you in, but I can't explain exactly what it is.

All I know is that a lot of people have the same reaction to her.

If she's like this at 9. What will she be like in 10 years time?:eek:

Edit; I hate to think I'm derailing one of my favorite threads on boards, but I just had to answer that question. Sorry all.

Moar creepy stories please!

Anyhow, you can't see it or feel it from a photo.

I dunno.. I have a genuinely creepy ability to appreciate a woman's allure from a photo...
