    Was there any clue in the diary in lead up to your birth? Any odd entries 9 months earlier?

    A few years back I was painting my front door, Red. Bright red. As I was finishing up I stumbled over the paint can spilling it in the hallway and tripping over. I steadied myself and stood but in the process left a few hand prints in the hallway. I cleaned up the paint on the floor mostly but left the prints for another day. Got a few funny looks when people came over before I repainted the hallway.

    It doesn't necessarily mean that it was your mother who ripped the page.

    I was playing a game of bowling on my phone last night. I was in a multiplayer ten pin tournament which lasted for 3 full rounds. I thought I did a good job after I got scores of over 200 points in each round. After I finished playing it; my overall score from the 3 rounds added up to 666. It left me a bit spooked tbh as I didn't expect it.

    If you had told me twenty years ago that you had been playing a game of bowling on your phone, I would have found you creepy.

    This wasn't unnerving but happened years ago when myself and my younger brother lived at home.

    I was in bed one night reading with my bedside lamp on. Decided it was time to sleep so turned off the lamp and turned onto my left hand side to sleep facing the wall. I then felt the duvet tighten, you know like if someone sits on your bed and makes the duvet tighten. That's what it felt like and it was coming from the bottom right hand corner of the bed. I kind of looked back over my shoulder into the dark and saw nothing so stayed lying on my left hand side. I was stoned at the time so thought maybe you're just baked and imagining it or maybe it's some kind of weird atmospheric pressure or something. It did genuinely feel like the duvet was tightened like I said but thought look there's some logical explanation so didn't get freaked out and fell asleep pretty quickly.

    The next day I had kind of forgotten about it and had no intention of saying it to anyone but I was in the kitchen making some food when my younger brother came in after sleeping in really late and started making his breakfast and goes to me, something really weird happened last night, it felt like someone was sitting on the end of my bed in the middle of the night. I then was like no way and told him I had the exact same experience and the duvet feeling tightened and that.

    Like I said, not mad unnerving or creepy but weird all the same how we both felt it.

    Years ago, It was just me and my dad at home one night, I said I'm off to bed and went up to my room and switched on the light then went into the bathroom, when I came back into my room the light was off and I thought ah the bulb is wasted, when I checked there was no fing bulb!! I nearly crapped myself and ran downstairs and got the old man to go up and check with me, I found it under the bed. Still spooked by it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,184 ✭✭✭saabsaab


    Sometimes the receiver end is damaged and the bulb is loose. Could it have fallen out and rolled under the bed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    it is known for lightbulbs to pop out if they're not fitted properly in the first place

    Story from the radio today. This man had an elderly neighbour who hoarded newspapers and as a consequence they piled up in the house over 30 years. He used to help her with chores and when his neighbour passed away was asked to help move contents and the newspapers out. He was near the end of the clear out when he thought about having a read of one of the older newspapers in a pile. He tried to pull one out of the bottom of the stack but the weight was too great and pulled one out from the middle. The date was after his father' death and looking at the death notices read his fathers death notice from 30 years ago!

    Bought a blood pressure monitor and the first reading was so high it advised to go to hospital.

    One of my former teachers appeared in my dream early yesterday morning, and hours later, I found out online that he had passed away!

    Years ago walking along James Joyce St. It was raining and I wandered under the canopy at a few shops across the road to avoid the rain but just as I was walking across I mysteriously walked back into the rain and low and behold a pane of glass fell three stories up where I would have been. I think the mind has the ability to process dangers subconsciously , maybe from our evolutionary days whence we had to be aware of dangers around us!

    I have given up being shocked at the coincidences that happen constantly. Examples of this in the last couple of days:

    My cousin broke up with her long term boyfriend out of the blue. I was in the back of the car with my aunt and uncle in the front. My aunt asked me what I think happened. I replied ‘he was constantly going on about politics and how the west was attacking humanity, wouldn’t surprise me if he went and joined the French foreign legion and fought the good fight In Syria’. Silence for about 5 seconds as my aunt processed this and then the computer on the dash(connected to her phone) started flashing with a call coming through. Plain as day the call was +963…google quickly showed from Fcucking Syria.


    Then today was at my uncles funeral. Was getting a lift back from my relations to Dun Laoghaire. Before we left, we went to the Protestant graveyard in Leixlip where their aunts (who were catholic were buried). I had just been reading about ‘taking the soup during the famine’ the day before and was telling them. We went around the corner and both stopped abruptly, pointing to a table outside the shop. A bit confused I hadn’t a clue what was happening until I read the sign sellotaped to the table ‘please donate to the soup kitchens’

    Honestly things like that happen on at least a bi weekly basis. I get a thought and say it e.g you are going to get a call from x or y is going to happen.

    This story anyone seen anythnig similar?


    'In July of 1878 the residents of the seaside town of Ballycotton, Co. Cork witnessed something astounding. They gathered on the shore and gazed in wonder at a new island that had suddenly appeared off the coast. They claimed to be able to see various features on the island such as woodlands, mountains and valleys. Several fisherman took to their boats to explore this mysterious island but as they approached the island faded into thin air. '

    Could that have been some sort of ‘Fata Morgana’? There was a similar sounding event in Canada sometime in the 1800’s, called the Rochester Mirage.

    Yeah possibly, the weather has to be just right for it to happen.

    Not sure it's creepy, or unnerving, but it's a strange coincidence.

    Was in a bar with a friend recently who informed me that an acquaintance of ours had died a few days previous. I wasn't close to the man, but he was easy conversation any time we did meet, we'd a shared love of music. He was a good guy. I said, "he was big into his 80s Scottish music. He liked Deacon Blue, the Waterboys, the Bluebells... and actually he was going on one night about how Aztec Camera were one of his favourites".

    My friend said, "never heard of them, what do they sing?"

    "I only know one song by them, 'Somewhere in My Heart', haven't heard it in ages"

    within split seconds of the words being out of my mouth that song came on in the pub.

    A survey indicated that Cork is the most haunted place in Ireland. More claim to have seen a ghost there than any other county. It is also the most haunted pub 'Franscian Well'

    'Doors opening and closing, as if by themselves, was one of the first occurrences. Footsteps in the night and the intense presence of cold and hot temperatures came, as if from nowhere. Objects would move freely.'

    Spirits of the dead?

    ‘taking the soup during the famine’

    Is that what they called "bowls for souls" or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souperism

    A male friend of mine once had a man come up to him in the street and ask some everyday question i forget what it was, maybe asking for directions. My friend felt very uncomfortable with this man and felt it was a cover for a sexual come on. But he answered the question and the man went on his way.

    Afterwards my friend found out the man had been in some institution and was subjected to serious sexual abuse.
