    Hey PD, it was a well written and built up post. It was just towards the end I was going :eek::eek::mad:

    I hope that it was dealt with by authorities and am sorry you had to witness it.

    I hope so too, we had no names or anything, but half of the reg was visible in one shot and you could tell the make and model of the car. I hope that led to finding the mother and maybe Tusla got involved? afterwards I started questioning if she really was the mother at all.

    This happened just now.
    A couple of days ago I set up a couple of cameras that I intend to put outside. Powered them up and connected Wi-Fi etc.
    Left them on in the office as the rain hasn't made me want to get up a ladder.
    They have motion detection on them and were sitting on a sofa in the office, beside them was a feather duster. I just got alert from camera that motion was detected and when I viewed it the feather duster moved about 5cm on the sofa. No windows open, nobody else in house, and I'm in bed in the next room. Nothing like mice either. Have a pup but he is downstairs.
    It probably should creep me out more than it has done but I'm not overly annoyed by it for some reason.

    Do you have a fireplace in that room, or an open vent? Could an air "current" have moved it?

    I have another one.

    After speaking about childhood stuff with my friends over the weekend, the subject of the Ouija board came up. And we talked about playing the board and all the weird sh1t that happened when we did.

    1. One time with some friends we were playing the board, then left it to go play basketball. We left the board beside the court and the piece started to move on it's own spelling out goodbye.

    2. The board/spirit predicted/knew the following would happen to me. The name of the girl I would 1st kiss, lose my virginity with and marry. All 3 different names. I had totally forgotten about it until we started talking about the Ouija board

    I woke up this morning and the 11th of July today’s date was stuck in my head, I was like am I forgetting a birthday, did something happen on this date, it was in my head that today means something so I was at a loss to think what the hell could it be. Seen the news a few minutes ago, Jack Charlton passed away today, I’m absolutely devastated. How weird that the 11th was so ingrained in my brain from the second I woke up.

    Few times last months happened that I was thinking about some musics from my childhood that I had absolutely forgotten, maybe didn't listen in the last 30 years, it just come to my mind during the day, and when opening youtube later the day it was there on the first recommended video. Didn't know the title or the name of artist. Happened quite few times.

    So again. Was living back in 2006 in a house shared with some Lithuanians. At that time I used to rent dvds to learn English and watched a lot of movies. Then this Lithuanian guy give me a Russian movie with English subtitles. Didn't know the name, I can't read anything in Russian, totally forgot about that movie for maybe 14 years, till yesterday a scene come to my mind. This what I finded on youtube page just few minutes ago (a scene from this movie that I can't even read the name).

    Great thread with some very believable stories and recollections.

    It's scary the amount of people who were approached by cars on the road as children which reminds me of a story my mother and her best friend always tell they were around 10 and walking down an old country lane to a little river that they'd wade around in most evenings in the summer a strange car pulled up towards them and a man got out and started asking questions they didn't think much because of the collar he was wearing so they presumed he was a priest and was no harm anyway they answered him and he talked about the clothes they were wearing and who bought them the dresses and stuff like that which is something a man of that age doesn't ask a child he then asked could he feel the quality of the dresses and asked them to do a big twirl around as fast as they could they done it a few times and he kept asking to keep going while he sat in his car so he could watch them (it's pretty obvious what he was doing) so after that they made an excuse that they had to go home so he offered them a lift Mam said no but her friend said come on its quicker anyway as they approached the car he asked Mam who he could tell was cautious of him did she know what kind of car he had and did she take the registration of cars for the life of her she doesn't know why but she did take his and proceeded to tell him this the minute he heard she was right he sped off. Years later she seen reports in the paper about a disgraced priest Brendan Smith being his name and instantly remembered his face from that day all those years ago. Her friend always said only for Mam knowing his reg they'd never have been seen again they swear by it.

    Another such incident happened my granny back in the 40s they lived on a quiet road one that you wouldn't see much traffic on at the time but one morning real early whilst walking to a neighbour's house a big car pulled up beside her with a heavy set man shouting abuse at her and saying get into the car ya little bitch she ran as fast as anything into a field where lucky enough her brother was thinning turnips once the man spotted him he ran back to his car. When she turned 12 she was sent to mind kids in a town about 30miles away but anyway one day she was in the co op and who should she spot only the same man and car she told the family she was living with and they approached him and found out he was a big rep driving all around the country selling stuff so can only imagine what he could have been doing I'm sure it wasn't the first time he tried to grab a young one.

    Another scary incident was when my friend and I decided to do a ouija board in his house one night it genuinely spelt out things which left both of us visibly upset we were only around 14 at the time anyway after that I didn't want to take part so he got his younger sister to come in and do it and it spelt out the word hang which made us all jump and run out of the room on another occasion a glass went flying off the table and in the pitch black I seen a skeleton like face exactly where my friend was sitting it's like it entered him. We didn't think too much about it after a few months things started to change for him he became very paranoid and extremely schizophrenic totally out of the blue for a lad who was always so relaxed his mother swears it was caused by the ouija board. I often thought about it over the years and wondered was he spelling stuff out himself or something but it felt real. The years have passed by and we went our own ways in life didn't really keep in touch until sadly I got a phone call one evening to say his younger sister had been found dead which really upset me anyway when I asked what happened it turns out she was found hanging from a tree I instantly thought back to the night it spelt hang and I've had seriously scary nightmares since I was never comfortable with involving her in the game and have wondered did all of this happen because of that night all of this is genuinely true perhaps it's a coincidence but it's very unnerving.

    Now people are mentioning ouija boards, I remember another story my mums friend told us one night. Back when she was young, she and a group of her friends all went to a local abandoned building as one of the girls got access to a ouija board and wanted to try it for a laugh. They waited until it was dark to use it and after asking a few questions, they moved away from the board and were thinking of other things they could ask. All of a sudden the glass flew off the board by itself (no-one was touching it or even near it at the time) and it smashed against the wall. One of the girls then without warning just literally stood up, ran and jumped out of the closest window and fell to her death.

    Those ouija boards are bad news, and you know it always seemed to be young girls that were drawn to them more.
    When I was a chisler me and the lads put our lives at risk several times with stupid stunts and dares but we would never have done a ouija board for love or money.

    Whenever we heard of people doing it it was about eight times out of ten a group of girls. Usually trying to find out info about their future husband :p

    Something else I remembered about them, you should never walk away from a ouija board session without signing off first: it sort of closes the door like. If you don't you are giving bad things permission to attach themselves to you.
    Some of those stories I heard involved girls getting possessed after messing around with that stuff.

    One here that I'm sure has a scientific explanation as a freak weather phenomenon, but unnerved me all the same! Myself and my friend were around 11 or 12 in Wexford on a beach and we were exploring the side of the beach we didn't normally go. It was a lovely summer day, calm, sunny, blue skies. All of a sudden this almighty wind gusted out of nowhere - stronger than I've ever experienced, it nearly knocked us off our feet. We even ducked down behind a rock in fright hanging onto each other. And then like that - it was gone, back to a perfectly calm day. We ran back home but no one seemed to have experienced the same thing (I got the impression our parents didn't really believe us or thought we were exaggerating). We did mention it to one of our older neighbours, who just nodded and said "ah, that'd be the fairy wind".

    We call that kind of strong, gusty wind which comes out of nowhere a 'chinook' (I'm in the NW) Google tells me it's an American term from the Rocky mountains but it's what my Grandfather always called a force of wind from nowhere on a calm day.

    Growing up there was all sorts of fcuked up stories going around about the Ouija Board in my area and always associated with any suicides. So we were too ****less to try it.

    Two of us did try once after shool one day just on a sheet of paper and a coin. Actually it was in the classroom.

    Defo felt an "energy" at the end of my finger and it did move. Apparently it started telling us about a young child about 2/3. We just stopped it- we were there blaming each other for moving it.

    I am quite sure there is a perfectly rationale/scientific explanation for the "energy" sensation.

    There is, it's called the Ideomotor Response. It's the well known cause of 'Ouija Board' phenomenon.

    The fairy wind, that is a blast from the past; it is the fairies moving from one place to another. I think you had to kneel down or go on one knee before it hit you or you could be in trouble, it was showing respect to the other crowd.

    When I was 7 I woke up one morning and the first random thought that entered my head was something along the lines of "how would Mum react if Nanna died?".

    Got up, headed in to school, and at 11, I was called out of the class by my Mum to be told my grandmother had died during the night (she only found out herself after she dropped us to school). I know it was pure coincidence, but I can see how people can feel like they had a premonition when it does happen.

    It turns out that "hysterically" was the answer to my question.

    I have found myself in recent years all of sudden thinking about a random celebrity or fixating on an artist that I would generally know nothing about.

    Said artist/celebrity dies within a few weeks. Happens quite a lot.

    Recent one was Jack Charlton. For some reason just started thinking about him for some reason since mid May. Now I know he was 85 and was in poor health (I didnt know that) and with the 30 year since Italia 1990 and all. I just put it down to pure coincidence.

    The first time was Princes Diana. I was literally sititng in front of the TV watching Sky News with my mother about 2 weeks before she died and: "She will be dead soon enough." It just felt this massive tension building and about to be released. Even the mother mentioned it a few days after she died.

    Again I am just putting it down to pure conincidence.
