Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

This ones a bit stupid but I found it really weird and creepy at the time.
Many moons ago when I started seeing my first serious boyfriend, while at home one day I put my hand into the pocket of my jeans and pulled out this tiny little photo of him that was cut into the shape of a love heart, looked like it had come out of a locket or something. I had no idea where it came from and felt like an absolute weirdo for having it as we had only started seeing each other so I rolled it up and threw it into the stove.
A couple of weeks later I was looking for shampoo before going to take a shower, I opened the press door and sitting on the shelf was this same little picture of my boyfriend that id thrown away weeks before.
To this day I have no idea how I ended up with it or where it came from.

I think it was the boyfriend hiding them around the place on you, in some weird psychological "remember that you love me and you can't leave me" kinda thing!

Something quite similar happened me, got the bus to a town near 20 miles away to meet up with a guy I was chatting to online with the intention of spending an evening with him for a date and staying over if it went well. He definitely looked nothing like the pictures he had showed me. I stupidly stayed and we walked to his house, the place was a disgusting hole and it stank as there were used clothes on the floor and hanging over all the furniture. He opened a can of tuna and tipped it onto the carpet and let the cat eat off the ground. There was a kitchen full of dirty unwashed dishes and utensils which he wanted to use to cook a meal for us. His housemates were dirty (literally) - smelly clothes and dirt under their fingernails. They had been drinking somewhere else but called in to collect more booze from the house before heading out again. This was late in the evening and one was working at 6am as she was the manager of a local McDonald's. Wouldn't have liked to seen the state of her the following morning. That seemed to calm him down for a little while as he was desperate to try and get me to kiss him and I kept resisting and telling him to wait but he wouldn't try it in front of them. They eventually left and then shortly after he went upstairs to get something from his room and I sat there thinking "go, just leave" and felt something on underneath my foot. I looked down and sticking out from under the sofa was a used condom. That was it, I couldn't stand it any more and I bolted for the door. He ran down the stairs after me and I just legged it as fast as I could whilst he was chasing after me. Thankfully an empty taxi was passing by and I stuck my hand out and he stopped, I jumped in and shouted "Go!" and he sped off like something from a cheesy 80's action film. I got missed calls and texts from him for the rest of the evening asking me to come back and what was wrong. Guy was a total weirdo.

That is rancid behavior, us normal guys must have some chance if yolks like that can get a date lol but in all seriousness they all sounded foul and one of them was a manager in Maccy D’s hate to be eating from that place. The cheek of him to ring and text after, some ppl are on a different planet, the gut instinct is 99% right everyone.

Totally agree with above post. If you haven't read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin De Becker, I would highly recommend. It is an amazing read and is all about trusting our gut instincts. So true. Glad you got out of that situation, your gut was advising you for a reason. Horrible situation to find yourself in.

It is weird but there are people with great jobs and careers that seem normal who live like absolute pigs. My cousin was movinng into a house that had been rented for years by a woman with quite a high up job in hse, single woman. The house when he looked at it was just disgusting, you'd see cleaner crack dens he said. LL had to get professional cleaners in to set it straight. You would wonder had she mental health issues or alcoholic maybe?

also I lived with a guy years back in a houseshare who had a great job, he was a decent enough guy but he never flushed the toilet after himself, pee or poo. Not what you want to see first thinh in the morning :eek:

Haha I doubt it, it was the exact same picture that I found both times and he hadnt been in my house by this stage, we had only started going out and still living with our parents at the time, I hadnt introduced him yet.

Was the stove lit when you threw the photo in?

No it wasnt but I rolled it up fairly tight and covered it after I threw it in, it would have been filthy dirt with soot. When I found it a second time there wasnt a mark or a crease on it.

Why would someone dig it out of the stove - It was tiny, clean it up and put it on a shelf in a random press outside the bathroom? Just seems odd that someone would do that.

I say you're right hardly any chance someone would do that.

What might have happened is that he put several copies of the photo hidden in you clothes and one fell out?

I don't know why some people give photos of themselves to relatively new dating partners. To me a big red flag.

A friend of mine told me this story recently, it's not particularly creepy, but would make the hairs on your neck stand up.

His grand aunt was a nurse in an Army type hospital in the UK during WW2 when one winters night an American bomber crashed near the where she was based.
She was on shift when three of the injured were brought in , two were horribly burned and the other was badly injured from the impact.
She attended to the two burn victims throughout her shift ,, but all three died within 24 hrs or so.All were young men with it upsetting her terribly.

She passed away in her eighties about 20 years ago and was buried in her local town. One wintery afternoon, some of family were visiting her grave shortly after she died and as they approached the graveside , they could see three figures in the distance walking further into the cemetery.
As they reached her grave , the three figures turned, with one giving a friendly wave from maybe 20 metres away before seemingly wandering off.
.All three were young men , dressed in what looked like air crew uniforms from WW2.

Great story. Hard to explain with current accepted theory.

If its a cruddy enough hoax to have a wikipedia page documenting how cruddy it is, we probably don't need to give it any more Youtube hits....

Video of apparently a bird called "grackle" looking for food in a huge group outside a Walmart, from March.

Favourite comment "she ain't seen nothing yet"!

Well if Wikipedia says that it is a hoax we can all sleep safe at night. Gee whiz, thanks Mister!

A couple of years ago I went to my work Christmas party and was staying in my sister's flat which was near Blackhall Place just off the quays. To get to the front door of the apartment you had to go down a sort of side path, which was fairly dimly lit.

Anyway our Christmas party is a black tie thing each year and so I was fairly dressed up and wearing a dress you couldn't run comfortably in, not to mention the heels etc. By the end of the night one of the guys I work with was getting a taxi home and offered to get the driver to drop me off so I hopped in and the driver stopped at the top of this side path. It looks fairly dim and there's one guy just standing there on his own beside the front door, so my colleague said they would wait until they saw me go inside, which I was relieved about. Something about the guy just looked odd.

So out I get and hobbled towards the door, really aware of this weird guy just standing there, not on his phone or having a smoke, just standing there - feet killing me from the stupid heels but as I walked past him he just looked at me and it sent a shiver - I looked back and could see the taxi still there so just opened the door but the lock was a bit fiddly so it took me a few seconds. I went in and closed the door behind me.

Inside is a long straight corridor with the lift at the other end. I walked down to the lift and had that horrible sense that the door was gonna open with your man any second, and I was right. Just as the lift door opened, I heard him come in. I got into the lift - he stood still at the front door the opposite end of the corridor and just stared at me. As I pressed the button to close the doors which seemed to be taking forever to close he started walking towards me. My heart was beating out of my chest at this point and I was frantically pressing the button (do the 'close door' buttons on any lift actually do anything!) and just as he got closer they finally closed. Then I was petrified he'd' run up the stairs, I got out and never legged it as fast down a corridor to my sister's flat and got in. She wasn't there that night so I was on my own and didn't sleep a wink! Obviously then I was paranoid for ages for her going in and out of there on her own the whole time but she never saw him or anyone that sounded like him thankfully. Creepy as hell!

Scary, like a thriller film with the lift doors :eek:

This thread has gone from some really good stories to stories where a woman gets a strange look from a guy who was probably thinking "I dont recall her ever living here, I wonder why she has a key".

What more is there to get? Drunk girl sees boy she doesnt know in a place she doesn't know. This place is probably his home (or else how did he get in the building?) Girls get freaked out because he looked funnily at her (wouldn't we all of we seen some stranger with keys to my building?). Girls panics while drunk. Guy must be some kind of axe murderer.

She tells it a bit better, but that's the story broke down. Non event all imagined in a drunk person's head, and nowhere near the quality of the rest of the thread

That’s your assumption which is valid too but flip the other side that her gut is telling her the door will open, yes it does, he’s going to come into the lift yes he makes his way towards the lift. Where in it did she say she was drinking or drunk? If it’s not his home then exactly how did he get in? There can be allot more to it. Not the creepiest story here but it was a decent story. I thought he’d be at the top of the stairs but he wasn’t to be. I’m sure for her it was creepy af

The thread title is "creepy or un-nerving" and the lady was most definitely un-nerved - (most women would have been)

It's disappointing that you would assume I was drunk - I was pregnant - and that the guy was standing on a dark path for no apparent reason at 2 am, and that the reason he stared at me and acted very strangely was his way of wondering ' why, who is this fair maiden whom I doth never have seen before as I do my daily 2am stand in the dark? How strange'

Also whether I was drunk or not is completely irrelevant, he was a fcking weirdo and you don't need to be sober to feel threatened.

I found the story more chilling than a lot on here but perhaps that is because I've been in similar situations so I know how frightening and unnerving an incident like that can be and that she had good reason to be creeped out.

@ genis_us - was he a security/night watchman perhaps??

Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?
