anyway as I was sitting there wondering what the hell had just happened, my head turned to a computer and a phone. A few people saw this and were just as freaked as I was. I wonder was it just shock.

A keyboard my dad gave my daughter before he died worked years after he died without any batteries or plug!

I was working in Glasgow for a week a few years ago, I was staying at my mates house, he had to do some business down in London, so I was there in this big victorian house on my own. I had worked til about 7pm, gone back to his place and made some dinner, drank a bottle of beer with it, only one bottle. I started listening to some music on his stereo, which was sat diagonally opposite me to the right of his fireplace. Im in the corner of the sofa, only a lamp, above my head, was switched on and the blinds on the window were fully down to my left hand side.

Anyway, its a detached house, so I had the volume turned up louder than usual, it was getting to about 11pm when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a small orange flickering ball of light, (a little bigger than a golf ball) it started to do little circles, sharp movements and kind of darting about and then made its way over towards the fireplace, (a distance of about 16 feet) I was watching it for a good 45 seconds I reckon, it hung around there for a bit and I checked the room for reflective surfaces and the window, but the blinds were fully down and any gaps in it from an outside light source couldnt explain the distance it had covered. Eventually it then hovered over to the stereo, kind of danced around it for 5 seconds and then I watched it dart into it, the stereo went off with a bang like the fuse had gone and all the lights went off, I sat there for a moment and then using my phone as a torch, took the hint and went to bed. I had no idea where his fuse box was.

In the morning when I went downstairs, the lights worked and the stereo was in standby mode

I am very sceptical of the supernatural, psychics and the like, but I cannot explain what happened

After my brother died - he was an electrician, I wanted a sign that he was at peace. The electricity went four times and then cut out. Most unusual, even my husband who is trained as an electrician freeked out.

Thats whats known as an auto recloser working on an esb line.. They are designed to minimise faults by trying to switch a line back in after it initially trips and if the fault clears it stays in but if its still there it will open and close the switch afew more times to try clear the fault before locking out after going thru its programmed secquence.

Ball lightning perhaps?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

I was in 1st year in secondary school and I looked out the window one morning before class started and saw something similar. There was a blue-ish ball of light, a little bigger than a football in size, just hovering in mid air about 20 feet away from the window. It then moved forwards a few feet, flashed, and disappeared. Whole thing lasted only 5-6 seconds. By the time my friend turned his head to look it was gone and no one believed me.

Thanks, possibly, but it was definitely orange (like a flame, in colour) and I dont recall any odour of sulphur.

was walking up by glasnevin cemetary late one night probably around 3am

i got the feeling i was being followed by someone but that they were walking parallel to me rather than behind me

i was getting a bit nervous but kept telling myself it was my imagination

well i was walking along by a low part of the wall when i got the feeling the person (if it was a person) was getting much closer to me - then i noticed a low glow in the graveyard and i know i should have just kept walking but i thought its now or never so i hopped the wall and walked towards it

at this stage i was feeling the presence even closer to me like it was maybe 15 feet away but in the darkness - suddenly i stopped feeling afraid and a feeling of not being in danger washed over me

i could see the glowing light getting closer and eventually i discovered it was coming from behind one particular headstone so i walked towards it

it was a broad headstone and i approached it slowly as the nervousness began to return to me - i glanced behind me for a second and realised it was probably a big mistake to have come so far from the road and the only place any other people might be at this hour of night

but i pressed on and walked behind the headstone to find out what the source of light was - it was a battery powered torch with a green bulb in it propped up against the headstone

i could see various things scattered in the vicinity of the torch but I couldn't see them clearly - there were crumpled pages of a newspaper there which had been blown around the area and there were old style glass bottles and tins there too

right next to the torch there was a plastic bag which obviously had something heavy in it as it hadnt been blown around like the newspaper

at the exact moment that i spotted the bag i heard a voice behind me (or maybe in my head) whisper "open the bag - its for you"

i got a chill that stopped me from moving for several seconds - somehow i knew that the message about the bag had come from the presence i had been aware of since i left the road - to this day i couldnt tell you if i actually heard the message aloud or in my head

anyway i thought "ok ive come this far" and I grabbed the handle of the bag and pulled it towards me

there was a long gash in the side of the bag and human waste fell from it onto my legs, shoes and hands

i heard laughter and before i knew what was happening someone or something came out of the dark and grabbed the torch and ran in the direction of the road

i was left standing in the pitch black covered in faeces and i just burst into tears

easily the freakiest thing thats every happened to me

mkdon05 · 11-09-2011 01:01PM

About 10 years ago my Da was havin an operation, it was a fairly routine one. I was in work at the time and during the time of his op I had a trickle of blood run down from my nose. This was very unusual as I wouldnt really ever get nosebleeds. Turned out, that during my Da's operation there was complications and he lost a lot of blood and had to have a transfusion.

Found that quite freaky.

The wind is just picking up here, and it reminded me of one of the first nights I spent alone in the house, my husband was gone out for a pint (not to be disturbed) so it was just me and my 11 month old daughter who was asleep.
Outside I heard chains rattling on the pavement along with a knocking sound, I ran around the house locking all windows and doors. Following day I found out it was a neighbours dog that is usually chained up getting free.

And this was the freakieast thing that ever happened to you? a dog rattling his chain? you must have led a very placid life.

Chinasea · 11-09-2011 02:58PM

Was over in London for a meeting and was walking in a random back street near the office and a cab pulls up beside me to drop off a passenger who was an old acquaintance of mine from over 20 years ago.

Sorry I just realised I deleted a bit by accident. His death was very sudden (he took his own life), and it felt as though my head was being turned towards his laptop which was on the counter with the telephone right beside it - it seemed odd. Later we found out that he may have left a note (this may be rumour or it could be true, we will never know). It was just very scarey at the time and I find it hard to be in that house. I know I'm just being stupid.

It's called a piano in that case.

Watching anything directed by David Lynch generally freaks the hell out of me.
It was my first time watching 'Mulholland Drive', which is quite scary from the word go.I'm watching it alone, with the lights turned off. Its coming towards the end of the film so I'm well creeped out at this stage, and there's a scene where a woman falls on a bed and it bursts into smoke. Right at that moment the fire alarm went off in the hallway! I hadn't cooked for hours and don't smoke.
Serious coincidence. Almost soiled myself!

Getting followed around the streets by our special branch a few years back for some Josef K reason. Would have gone to Australia but it was too much fun staying here!

Outkast_IRE · 11-09-2011 07:04PM

I often dream of places iv never been and situations that i couldnt possibly know in advance , and a few months later im usually working in this distinctive place and in the situation i read about its very strange and i get the sudden realisation that its the exact same as my dream.

Once i was in a long distance relationship and i woke up in a sheen of sweat after a dream where the gf cheated on me , next time she was home she admited to it and it happened roughly the same time i had the dream .totally out of the blue type thing.

Karona · 11-09-2011 07:05PM

I had too many freaky things happen to me to list.

carlybabe1 · 11-09-2011 08:32PM

the night my son died (november) I was outside the hospital, and i looked up at the sky and said 'if it snows on xmas day, then I'll know hes ok'.....xmas morning my brother and cousin who were staying with me woke me up, to see the snow falling, first time in twenty yrs it had snowed on a xmas day. I was torn between being happy and being heartbroken

Also, when i had him laid out at home, a ladybird appeared in the hall, stayed there for three weeks ( was his favourite insect)
A bush we had out the back for yrs (4) suddenly bloomed lovely yellow flowers
and a robin came to live in our backgarden, it used to take baths in the paddling pool in the summer, and woke me every morning with its lovely singing

I would think that this was his way to let you know he's still around and ok

Brain Stroking · 11-09-2011 08:48PM

Was in the main train station in Dortmund in 2010. Was standing leaning against the window of an internet cafe reading a city map while my girlfriend was in the toilet. I turned around and saw that there were 5 computers with 5 people at them sitting with their backs to me. The guy second from the left was watching hardcore porn and had his cock out. The computer users beside him were ignoring him. I couldnt believe it. And found it quite surreal

cocoshovel · 11-09-2011 08:48PM

During lunch break in secondary school a few friends and I were standing outside by the basketball courts. Nobody was on the basket ball courts or near them, the yard was pretty much empty. Anyway we were talking away about something to do with God being real or some bull**** like that, it wasn't a very serious discussion.

Another friend was kicking a ball against the wall beside us, when whatever happened he or one of our friends kicked it off a good distance about 3 basket ball courts away. None of us could be arsed to get the ball so someone shouted "IF GOD IS REAL HE WILL GET THAT BALL BACK FOR US!"

Then out of the school building this little first year comes running. He runs down to the ball, picks it up and brings it over to us and hands it over. We didn't even know him and he had no reason to do that for us. Usually nobody would do that anyway.
We just looked at each other and laughed. It wasn't overly freaky but still interesting.

Nolanger · 11-09-2011 09:20PM

Going into a shop and buying stuff and the cashier says something like '€4.72 please'. You take a fistful of change out of the pocket and count the coins and it totals the exact amount!

johnners2981 · 11-09-2011 09:38PM

I was in the house on my own at night, went into the kitchen to get something from the fridge and then back into the sitting room.

5 minutes later I hear the kettle whistling, was pretty freaked out so grapped only weaponlike thing I could find (a spoon) and went to investigate. Found nothing.

Next morning I found the hall lamp shade lying on the floor. I've no idea how any of it happened
