Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

Sorry what film are we talking about again?

JustAThought · 10-03-2021 01:58PM

this happened about 10 years ago and any time I think about I feel the horrors and a huge feeling of evil overwhelms me.

Before the covid, about 2 years ago, I remembered it again and tried to look up the building to see if something hd happened there but it was over 100 years old and had changed hands many times & I’d want to make a proper project out of it to see if someone had been murdered there or if it had a past history of death or murder.

Heres the story.
I was travelling quite a bit for work at the time, low stress business development role, nice people great product & price - so no stress or angst in the background on my part.

I booked into a hotel - old 17th century redbrick building and i was what would have been the converted attic rooms floor - three or so floors up. everything was going well. I was working so hadn’t had a drink, had gone out for a meal earlier that night and walked around - lovely calm evening, nothing on in the backgound, nothing wrong.

As I was in the room by myself an overwhelming feeling of evil came over me and I felt engulfed in it. I heard a male voice repeatedly in a really aggressive way say over and over ‘jump jump jump’ It was like someone was there with me telling me to jump. I remember standing holding on to the marble mantlepiece in the room as if I could be dragged by the voice to the window and made jump. I remember trying to shrug ot off and going to look out the window and the overwhelming anger of the voice shouting at me to jump. I can still see the streetscape
below like it is chiselled into my mind.

I dragged myself away as the voice kept ahouting at me angrier and agrier and left the room and hotel. I was too afraid to even use the lift. I chased down the stairs and spent the rest of the night walking around the city and then sat sitting the foyer until time to breakfast and checkout. I have never felt such an overwhelming force of evil directed at me in my life. It was as if something evil was living in that room and trying to kill people.

I still feel myself going cold typing this.
(no history of anything or drugs). Chills me to the bone. Never happened before or since. Really harrowing terrifying ‘experience’. I truly believe on reflection that there must be an evil presence living in that room or in that hotel. I’d sleep in a gutter rather than cross the threshold again.

Wonderful story!

But please do tell us the town, or at least the country, that this happened in?
Just so we can try to avoid that hotel, you understand.

Wow! Why don't you contact the hotel & ask them if there's any stories of ghosts/spirits?

That's slightly different. The call of the void is where you're standing somewhere high up and get an urge to jump. It's a scary feeling (I get it all the time), but not as scary as the story.

No - it wasn’t a dizzy ‘its high‘lets jump’ vibe - Pure evil it was. I feel sick even thinking about it again. Googled local history sites and found the history of the building & owners - whatever happened there or went on in that room is well hidden. I actually feel sick thinking back on it. Its as though it was yesterday. I can hear the voice & accelerating evil and hammering menace of it.

c'mon tell us...where is it????

or at least give us an idea please!

Sounds much more sinister than a ghost/spirit, but in saying that there's a fck load of evil people in the world. Must have scared the living be Jaysus out of man!!

It was either Tom Dunne, or the spirits in the mini-bar.

Your story reminds me of this: https://comeheretome.com/2012/07/20/the-ghost-room-in-maynooth/

You hear slightly different versions of that one, but the gist is the same.

And they are correct not to do so. It would be libellous if this has not been published in a reputable source. You will have to take it & every anecdotal post on Boards at face value.

i'm not asking justathought to name the hotel just give a general ballpark idea of the location

* anyway in the worst takeaway thread you had people naming & shaming all sorts of establishments - what's the difference?

Libellous, seriously? For calling a place haunted? I'd love to see a case like that brought up in the Irish courts. It would be laughed out of the place for being ridiculous.

I know of the Stambovsky v Ackley in the US but that was a consumer law case.

Day Lewin · 11-03-2021 11:30AM

If you said it was the Cecil Hotel, Los Angeles, nobody would turn a hair.
Or even that one in Cork that was discussed here before.

Honestly, just naming the town or even the country wouldn't count as libelling anyone.

Aargh, can't remember the details now. Was it this thread?

Something about a room in some small hotel in Cork, I feel fairly sure. During discussion of creepy places, etc. and unsettled feelings etc

Sorry! But I'm sure it was on boards.ie

The Mighty Quinn · 11-03-2021 02:56PM

Think I've heard the Maldron Hotel in Cork mentioned a few times, probably on this thread. Wasn't it a former convent or hospital or something.

In Dumbarton, Scotland, there's a 19th-century bridge called the Overtoun Bridge which has become known as the "dog suicide bridge for the number of dogs who have jumped to their deaths.

Some people believe that there are paranormal factors at work, driving the dogs to jump to their deaths.

I stayed there. Previously the North Infirmary. We stayed there during the briefly lifted restrictions last July. Earlier in the day I got a call from the reception saying that the room we had booked was not in service. No problem says eye, so where will we be staying? At the top of the building in adjoining rooms. No problem! It was right up at the top of the hotel probably the 5th floor, the hotel didn't seem overly busy so it just seemed odd that we were put all the way up there. Not sure why this was related to this story, it may or may not be relevant. So we check in and mosey around Cork as you do and head back to the hotel that evening. We didn't have a drink as you had to be dining in so headed to the room early. 2 young kids with us so we we're just hanging around the room watching TV until bed time.
I kept catching things in the corner of my eye, I cant really explain it, I kept thinking it was the kids throwing something or other but every time I checked it wasn't. Things just felt eerie that night. A very restless night sleep followed by an early wake up I looked to my right and the phone was off the hook up on my pillow. Very odd, The kids didn't stir during the night and I'm not known to do things in my sleep.
Later that morning we had been booked into the pool (due to restrictions) and the pool was in this large weird shaped room long and rounded at both ends. Again I kept catching shadows or movements out of the corner of my eye.
I did some googling afterwards and learned of the previous history of the place. And the Illness, sorrow & sadness that must have been contained within those walls.
Not the most notable of tales compared to some here but definitely something else is at play in that hotel. For me to pick up on something like this and the whole stay just had a weird vibe to it. Like it's forced to be something it's not if you get me? it doesn't feel comfortable in itself as a hotel. I for one would not be in a hurry to stay there again.

One day a group of us were chilling in our building in college and my mate gets a phone call. He tells us it's his mam calling from South Africa. He goes off and takes the call and we continue on arsing around.

15 minutes later he comes back. He looked quite shook and we figured he'd just received some bad news.

"You ok man?"

It turns out he had spoken to both his mother and brother on the phone. He proceeds to tell us that his younger brother had just been rescued from out in the bush where he had been undergoing his final assignment for his park ranger qualification. This final assignment was a night in the bush with another student ranger. They were tasked with securing their own camp with limited supplies and performing all of the tasks/duties that would be expected in such circumstances. They have their guns and a radio but no vehicles. They were dropped off barely a few Km from the base but it's proper bush; teeming with big five game (leopards, rhinos, elephants, buffalo and lions), as well as everything else you'd encounter at night-time on the African plains.

So the lads made their camp earlier in the day after they're dropped off. They erect a shelter and construct a perimeter fence around their camp using dead thorn bush. This is done quite extensively with the thorns facing outwards as a means to deter access by any larger animals. Nothing else eventful occurs throughout the day, they go about their various ranger checks, agree watch-shifts and settle down for the night.

My mate's brother woke up for his shift and came out of his tent to find the other ranger was nowhere to be found. Thinking he was being f*cked with he quickly checked in and around the camp; finding the other ranger's gun (he wouldn't have left their encampment without his gun). Determining he was now faced with an emergency situation he grabbed his radio and gun and climbed a nearby tree. He made the call for help and was high alert up that tree until the cavalry arrived as the sun rose. They reckoned the other ranger must have ventured out of the camp to relieve himself and was set upon by a leopard or a rogue lion, as there was not enough noise made to have stirred my friend's brother, there were no obvious signs of a struggle/breach and no sign of the other ranger or an animal. After a brief search of the area by the rescue party it was sadly confirmed to have been a fatal lion attack.

Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?
