Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

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.

Aaannnnndddd???

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.

Is the house new ? if not could you find out if there was a fire inside previously before ye moved in ?

Nope. This woman didn't resemble me in the slightest. Plus I'm a ringer for my mother.

I had a funny one once. A middle age woman was staring at me before on public transport. She walked over and swore she knew me or met me before. She was very very agitated and was convinced she knew me and had a very close connection to me. When I got off the bus she followed me and kept asking me to stay with her and that she missed me. She looked perfectly normal which made this even creepier. I had to ask another woman to tell her to leave me alone. After a few minutes the other woman came over and said she was totally devestated that I didn't remember her. She said she loved me and how could I not remember her. She was at least 30 years older than me. She even asked if she could hold my hand for just a second. I said OK, the look in her eyes when she looked at me... Very creepy. Eventually I left and as I turned back to look she said my name. No lie. I had never met or heard of her before this. Such a bizzare incident.

I've had a few things like this . Not creepy at all, but I totally misunderstood what was going on. It's a horrible feeling not knowing and not being able to ask.

Do any relations like your father or uncles have the same name as you? Would any of them have looked like you when they were younger?

Maybe the woman had alzheimers/dementia and was mistaking you for one of your relations with the same name?

Love this thread! This happened to me recently and up until it happened, I've never once experienced any weird things occurring around me.

Recently my mother in law moved into a nursing home. My father in law passed a long time ago and the the family has been around to the house regularly to tidy up and clear out some old junk, mow the lawn, etc. My sister in law was there a few weeks ago on her own and felt very uneasy while cleaning up. She went up to the spare room in the attic and closed the door, went back downstairs and heard the door opening up. She went back up to close it again, went down and waited....after a few seconds it opened again. She freaked out and left the house.

Last week I was in the house and went to the toilet, when I came out I looked in one of the bedrooms (it has a glass door) and saw a toy that used to belong to my son. I opened the door to retrieve it and as I opened it I felt this pressure against the door as if there was wind pushing on it. When it was fully open I again felt a gush of freezing cold wind. There were no windows open and the room was freezing cold....so cold I had to leave. This was late May, and it was warm outside. I felt totally unnerved and left very quickly.

Maybe he's having a premonition. It doesn't sound like a past life thing.

That is super creepy,

Your account gives me chills but leaves me wanting to hear more experiences, do you think its a place you will visit again alone? Any history or thoughts behind the experiences?

That's amazing that a toddler could articulate that. What age is the toddler?

He's 25, just acts like a toddler. Now that's creepy.

It was put it after everyone moved out....to add some light into the dark hall.

There's no history of any other supernatural stuff as far as I'm aware and the house was built in the early 70s. I'd have no problem going back, in fact I'm curious to see if any other weird stuff happens. Not sure I'd like to be on my own though! :eek:

I once dreamed of a famous musician walking by me and smiling, a few days before I learned of his death. I hadn't known him or even met him previously either.

This was back in 2001. Never had anything similar happen to me before or since.

Can anyone recommend a Podcast about paranormal or unnerving experiences? Also, a new story would be brilliant :-)

Let's Not Meet (narration of Reddit thread similar to this. Hit & miss but usually pretty good)

Spooked and Anything Ghost Shows are two very good ones, again they are all listener e-mails narrated.

Some very good and creepy stories in them.

A few years back I was camping in a forest area, on the side of a mountain. It was dark, and lights started appearing through the trees so after about half an hour and after trying to take some photos (which all came out completely black - well you could see the trees at the side etc but the lights themselves were coming out black), i went to have a look. Ends up the trees were only three of four deep until you got to the side of the mountain itself, and the mountain (obviously) keep going up as far as I could see. the lights stopped before i got there. i was probably less than 20 feet away. i assumed it was someone taking the piss.

I went back again about a year later in daylight as it (still) cant figure it out and realised that where I seen the lights was pretty inaccessible and even if someone was there, the only way out was to go past me. nevermind it was in the middle of nowhere on top of a rural mountain. The only thing I can think of is light coming from the soil of the mountain

Or somebody out hunting

thesiegeof · 04-09-2019 04:02PM

I had a quick read, very interesting and scary thread.

I don't have many scary tales really but when I was younger, maybe around 10, I was going to bed. I closed my door and got into bed. There was no one in my room, I'm 100% sure of this. But after a few minutes under the covers, I got a full force slap on my arse. I don't know how it happened as I was under my duvet but I was frozen solid, I couldn't move, I didn't want to turn around to see who or what was there. I stayed still for what felt like forever but it must have been an hour or two. I then got out the other side of the bed and ran to my parent's room. I remember being frustrated because they were just brushing off what I was saying. I didn't go back into my room for a while and I didn't sleep well for a bit after this but nothing like it ever happened again.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and realised who I had married. Creeped me right out.

Dramatik · 04-09-2019 05:18PM

This didn't exactly happen to me but it was something I observed, which really creeped me out. One day I was walking to college, there was a lot of building going on at the time in the area where my college was. As I'm walking I'm kind of in my own world, headphones on hood up. I happen to glance over towards the entrance of a building site on the other side of the road, I notice an ambulance and at the exact same time two paramedics appear into my field of vision, they are pushing a patient presumably a worker on the site towards the open back door of the ambulance. The guy on the stretcher, his face was a grayish pale colour but it looked like he was still somewhat conscious, and then it hit me, stomach nearly did a 180 degrees, the dude was missing half of his leg!

heldel00 · 05-09-2019 08:05PM

So I haven't told anyone else this and it upset me hugely so I probably should have told someone.
I had a night terror a few nights ago and it ended with me screaming for help looking at my toddler hanging off my wardrobe door.
Upsetting even typing this. I have had night terrors a few times in the past but this was absolutely horrific.

That was a really traumatic experience to have. Those nightmares can be really upsetting. Only thing though, you'll probably put it out of your conscious mind in a day or two, at least that's what I've noticed on the odd occasion I've woken up after a horrible nightmare like that. Even sharing it here will help you put it behind you. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy though.

So sorry to hear this - I had a very vivid dream one time my son was face down in the sea and I was screaming for help but no one would help. I was traumatized when I woke up. It did ease off in a day or two and I spoiled my little guy for a while which made both of us feel good. Hope you can shake this soon.

heldel00 · 05-09-2019 08:50PM

Thank you for the reassurance. Don't know why I haven't told anyone. I suppose maybe my subconscious is telling me that if I say it then that makes it real...or something as equally ludicrous.
Good to hear that others have had similar and I'm not a weirdo!

razorblunt · 05-09-2019 09:04PM

Similar to above, I’ve not had any but we have a 5 month old and my wife has had two relating to him. So more than likely a lot more common that you’d never imagine, hopefully you feel better having said it.

Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?
