Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

I only ask because i had sleep paralysis a few times in the past few months.And i havent had it in years.And i seen the shadow upstairs.

where you up and about when you seen the shadow or still in bed?

I often get that thing when someone you haven't seen for years keeps floating into your mind and you do end up either seeing them or or hearing about them from someone else . Luckily not like it is for some people where the person they kept remembering for no reason , dies!

I had quite an interesting dream last night . I was at a sort of living seance. Madonna's ''Like a prayer '' was the soundtrack . I'd take me all day to go into it but I want to do an experiment . I'm only going to do this once , regardless of how many dreams I have in future .

Just because the dream told me to , ok I know this is ridiculous but I'm half sure I WILL hear of them in some context at some point . I don't mind if I do or not and I hope this doesn't freak them or anyone who knows them out.

Right .

Cheeky McDonald, you taught me to tie my shoelaces, and broke your dad's windscreen with a golf ball. He used to whistle when he wanted to talk to you .

I've no idea why you were in my dream but if you know who I am, knock three times or send a sign....I mean say hello.

Same for you Padraig / Podge whose surname I don't remember but we'd have known each other by our Irish names...you were a terror for putting toothpaste in my hair. Your dad was in the RNLI and you walked with the boat on St. Patrick's day.

That's that done then.

Can't believe it's so long since there was a post on this thread!

My teenager was up overnight in Dublin recently, it was her first time doing anything away from home without a family member with her and she was a little nervous. When she came home she told me she had a weird experience. In several different places around the city she passed a man walking amongst others. She said he was the absolute image of her Grandad, my late Dad, and everytime she saw him he was looking at her and smiling. Gave me the shivers, but nice too

It was about 2003. Me and my friend we're in Prague in a restaurant. We we're sitting beside the window facing one another. I caught 2 men in uniform walking by the window with rifles over their shoulders. They were in full ww2 German uniforms with the swastika around their arms. I couldn't believe it, they just walked by the window on the path. I turned and just looked at them walk by. I said to my friend did you just see them 2 men in the German uniforms and he said no he didn't. I know what I saw but for the life of me I don't know what it was all about.

Probably coming from a film set? Prague is often used as the backdrop in war movies esp WW2 movies

I went to prague and my brother and i visited a famous Jewish graveyard. (we're Irish jews)

A lot of people don't realize but at one time a lot of eastern european capitals had HUGE jewish populations.

Then we walked along the old town cobbled streets. All during this trip i have gotten this odd feeling. Like i just didn't like prague. It was an unfriendly vibe.

And it wasn't the prices for tourists or something or even the people. I was just edgy.

I found out later that the communists had used lots of jewish grave stones to repair the old cobble streets.

My brother and i had been walking on Jewish gravestones.

I was shocked because there is NO way you could know. They turned them around so you couldn't see any of the Hebrew.

Then it set me thinking the population at one time was big enough to re cobble the whole old city. And now its tiny.

I wondered .....was my soul freaked out?? Everyone else says the old town etc of Prague is beautiful.

But i just felt really nervous. I put it down to people trying to sell us stuff or something. But it just felt wrong.

On a vaguely related note, not creepy as such but I once visited Jerusalem and if ever I found a place perceptibly crackling with subliminal tension, that was it. Superficially the obvious contemporary political strains, but also the sense of forces much more ancient currently at balance but just waiting for the green light. A chap with a hat and ringlets took me on a tour of a tunnel near the Wailing Wall and at its conclusion solicited a donation for charity in order to receive the blessing of two sons when I next visited the city. Not sure if I donated anything but I now have the two sons so I'm sure an invoice is on the way...

Erm sorry but probably he wasn't not a real rabbi ....sorry to tell you ..its unlikely a rabbi would offer a gentile a blessing ( he would have called it a bracha/berakhah ) and it would have been in hebrew

I think a rabbi would have considered it rude to minister to a gentile. Its not like Christianity. And they wouldn't take money.

Did they look like these guys?

It might look the same to you but i can instantly tell they are not rabbis from dress and its confirmed when the guy goes 'inshallah' (arabic for god willing)



They are actually muslims. But there are lots of them around Jeruselem. The Israeli govt kind of allows it because they are obv not terrorists so why freak out??? Its pretty harmless.

Erm but you were conned by men who weren't jewish.

Jews aren't going to go up and give a gentile a blessing unless you ask (they would feel you might think they were proselytising) and they won't charge you. They don't feel non jews have to be jews or upgrade there relationship with god by becoming jewish or praying in hebrew.

Ok, a bit creeper out by this tonight. In the last couple of weeks my toddler has casually mentioned to me the "fire in our house". A house fire that supposedly took place some time. I thought it odd but it was always just a quick comment.

Tonight we were chatting and he got really choked up and asked me if I remembered when our house went on fire. He said it was all black and burned and that he was hiding behind the couch from it (there's a small space behind our couch).

3 times he brought it up tonight, among other innocent topics and each time he got really emotional and choked up and struggled to get his words out, eyes watering etc. He kept talking about hiding from the fire and then was so happy when the Fireman found him.

I'm quite freaked out about it. This kid doesn't watch Fireman Sam,or anything like it, so I don't know how he would have seen anything that he is copying or imagining as real.

He recently told me what it was like in the womb. How it felt (quiet, warm, wet, just him in there...) and of the voices in our family that he would hear from in there, like that he could always hear me singing. That freaked me out too.

Where did you get the couch from? I'm wondering if it maybe came from another house where there had been a fire, and maybe had a trace of a smell of smoke?

No, we bought it new.

Many children recall instances of a past life seemingly, often very detailed like the above, some believe it is to do with re incarnation; the recycling of previous energy or what one may call the 'soul'.

Not sure how believable that is, but it's fascinating all the same.

I'd say he's checking out that one now.

That was my first thought too. I’ve an adopted sister and we have found each other in adulthood. We look very similar, I often wonder if I walked around her hometown would anyone mistake me for her?

My youngest daughter, about 4 at the time, told us her Grandad had told her my sister was having a baby girl and was going to call her K. My sister hadn't disclosed the sex of her baby to any of us or the name she had picked. My Dad died 14 months before my daughter was born.
