re the water diviner; he taught me how to do that and opined that we can all do it. Used a twisted metal coat hanger.

It was the strangest feeling when the rod started moving against my hands. Weird.

During the second war a section was trained in dowsing. They were to identify Japanese machine gun emplacements!

One of my cats went missing a few years ago so I waited till night time to go look for him. More than likely he was in the back garden of a row of houses on the main street that had a graveyard at the back of it. So I went into the graveyard and jumped up on the walls of each back garden calling his name. One of the houses on that main street was boarded up, windows and doors but when I jumped up on the back wall of this particular house the back windows werent boarded up, and there was candlelight shining from each window. Squatters maybe but very unusual, house is still boarded up to this day, no for sale sign, just boarded up

Some Luantic was up on a back wall behind a house I was squatting in one time Screeching ~ ~ Come Home Satan , Come Home Satan , Come Home Satan.

I don’t mind saying it frightened the life out of us. We left in a hurry the next morning. This only works if your Cat was called Satan ! !

Eyes or Metal Detectors might have been better. The old plastic machine guns were no good when they got hot !

My sisters friend ‘can see things’. My sister moved to the middle of nowhere a few years ago and when her friend called a cat come from somewhere and the friend asked her to keep feeding it to keep it around. My sister hates cats and had 2 dogs so wouldn’t agree but before her friend left she told her just leave out some food each day please. Fast forward a few months and my sister is leaving her house for work, when she gets to her gates that happen to be just off a bad bend she realises they are closed, she thought it was strange as her house as I said is in the middle of nowhere so though maybe her husband had closed them the night before (he was still in home). She gets out and opens the gate and when she got back in the car the cat was sitting on the bonnet and wouldn’t move. So she gets back out and just then a driver ploughed through her gates after taking the bend at speed. If the cat had moved she would’ve been where the car hit and probably wouldn’t have survived the impact. Her and her husband call the paramedics etc and when all has calmed down a few hours later she takes out her phone to call my mam and she has a text from her friend (who doesn’t even live in the same county) saying I’m glad your ok and didn’t I tell you it’d be good to feed the cat. When she rang her, she asked how she heard about the accident (and the cat) and she said she didn’t but she had seen it happen in her mind months before so left her the cat. Even stranger is that the cat never came back again! Thankfully everyone was ok. It’s 15 years later and I still wonder about it and whether her friend did really see it because the texts are just to coincidental!

We had a cat that did that once. Sat up looking in the windscreen even when the car started until we took him off it. Very weird never did it after..

JoChervil · 09-09-2020 04:37PM

BTW cats.

My mum once was preparing to go by train to attend her brother funeral. It was later at night and her cat behaved weirdly. She was very agitated and was all the time getting in my mum's way, between her feet etc. My mum even stepped on her tail by accident (we had to go to vet to check it few days later because it was bent badly). So eventually my mum gave up. The cat obviously didn't want her go. She was really very persistent in it. In the morning my mum was taken to the hospital with heart problems. I don't think she would get good help in the middle of nowhere, when on the train...

I haven't had too many things happen to me, but this happened to me when I was about 10 or 12.

There was a small office in my town. It was just a converted terrace house; many of the rooms were converted into office rooms for the people working there (family business). What would have been the living room, was the office of the guy who owned the business. Anyway, my mother used to clean these offices a couple of evenings per week, she used to bring one or two of us with her. We'd always just kind of amble around, or on a good day, we may even help. I always liked the "main office", because it felt kind of "important".

Anyway, this one particular time, my mother was cleaning the offices, and I went into this main office. And for some reason, that particular time, I hated being in there; it just did not feel right. Prickles on my skin, everything felt kind of dreamy or surreal. So I came out and asked my mother "what's wrong with that room, it's not the same". My mother just stopped, looked straight at me, then asked what I meant. I told it just "felt weird". She finished up as quickly as she could, and practically ran out of the place.

Found out a few years later, that the owner of the business had died in that room about two weeks prior. They had just re-opened the business.

I was listening to the Radio this morning and they were on about some nursing Home that had a stray Cat but the Cat would lie down in some random room of a patient and a few day's later the person would die... I think this was after happening about 90 times..

Sounds like an episode of House.

New Home · 09-09-2020 05:40PM

House got it from somewhere, too, there have been various reports of cats doing that.

saabsaab · 09-09-2020 06:06PM

Some say that cats and dogs can tell if someone is very ill, perhaps through smell and will keep them company.

They are training sniffer dogs to detect cancer and tumours in patients. I forget what country it was but they are proving themselves to be really accurate

Really enjoying this thread and wanted to add a couple of my own:

One midnight I was just about to head to bed when the radio played it's last song for the day. It was 633 Squadron by Ron Goodwin which was my Dad's favourite. The next morning at 7am, I got a call to say he'd died in his sleep and I like to think it was him signing off to me.

I often walk through the fields near me at dusk or in the dark with the dogs. One night I was passing a field when a really bright light flashed from the bottom of the field. I had a torch too and thinking it was hunters lamping, shone it in the direction of the light. I couldn't see anything or hear anything so just carried on. A couple of weeks later I was out in daylight and crossing into the section of the field where the light came from and Stanley, one of my dogs, started growling and looking in the direction where the light had been. I looked and looked but couldn't see anything. I walked across the field with one dog, but Stanley wouldn't cross the field at all. He went all the way back into the previous fields and up onto the lane and caught up with us further in the walk. The field in question has a spring in it and a limestone outcrop with an erratic boulder. I tried it again a couple of days later with the dogs and Stan crossed the field on this occasion with no bother.

That made me shiver... The water diviner told me though that anyone can do it as long as they believe in it. Which makes sense. The builder that time refused to try. Think I will have a go here later - although the proximity of the ocean man\y stymie it?

SOMEONE is knocking on the wall! Over and over again...

Blowing a gale out there and pitch dark … No house within a mile and in the small hours no one goes out. No street lighting out here.

BANG ! BANG! BANG! Howling gale.... rhythmic banging...

And it is this side of my big LOCKED gate....

No use calling as the wind is too loud...

BANG ! BANG! BANG!

So I get up, light on, manage to get the door open with my stick in my hand.... calling out..

OH NO! NOT THAT!

I left a towel on one of the grab rails along the wall and it is banging in the wind against the thin walls of this place! My punishment is having to creep along the wall to retrieve it...

Always pays to investigate !

Not sure if this qualifies as creepy but it was strange and does make me think I have a doppelganger out there who is slightly famous..

About 8 years ago I was hanging around Trafalgar Square with a friend (after a demonstration/rally) and a group of girl scouts or brownies started taking pictures of us.

Eventually, their adult leader came over and asked if I would pose in a photo with them. It all happened so quickly that I didn't even think to ask why..

To this day I have no idea who they thought I was and I wonder where all those photos ended up!

Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?
