    Now I have the heebie-jeebies. I woke up an hour ago and went out and locked the shed and then the front and back doors of the house. Looked at this thread and read the Craigs list stories. Just went to the window because the rain sounded quite loud, pulled back the curtains a bit and it was pitch black out there. The street lights have gone out. I've never see it as dark as that out there in the six years of living here. Every Criminal Minds, CSI or Bones episode that I've ever seen is flashing through my head. I want my Mummy. :(:(

    Last weekend at 2.30am I heard footsteps around my house. I lay there totally tense cos there's been a spate of burglaries around here. I could hear voices and suddenly the room lit up, they were shining a flash-light in the window! This continued on and off for about a minute. I could hear at least 3 voices talking about my house and from what I could hear they were shining the light into my car because I heard them talking about items that were on the seat. Next thing my phone rang. A nephew of someone I haven't spoken to in years. It clicked that that's who was outside and they were probably looking for a lift somewhere. I was so shaken and furious that I just waited for them to leave. I phoned the guy a couple of days later and ate him without salt for terrifying me at that hour of the morning. He had been so hammered he didn't even remember and was denying it until I told him to check his phone log. Sure enough there were the calls. What a prick!

    I'm at a wedding tonight and there's a man here I worked with about 15 years ago. I've seen him at a few different tables and a few times on the dance floor. He keeps looking at me but I don't want to speak to him, I'm a little embarrassed because I didn't go to his funeral.

    I read quite a bit about Steve McQueen who was a Marine, worked on tramp steamers, a drifter, a getaway driver and a pimp and a jailbird before he became an actor and made the big time. He was rebellious but he didn't think much of flower children and hippies although he did smoke dope. Then when the civil rights movement became mainstream and the young turned against the Vietnam War he embraced the counter culture and he used to go out in the California desert to take mescaline and he hung with hippies and got free love from girls. Anyway he claimed to a biographer that he once came across some weird girls around a campfire in the desert and spent the night with them before going back to Hollywood. He and his friend who was a hairdresser and the actor Warren Beatty were supposed to turn up at Sharon Tate's house for a party held that night when the Manson Family attacked and killed her. His hairdresser friend was there and was one of the victims. He and Beatty didn't go. When he saw the Manson girls on TV he was convinced he met them that night in the desert. He started sleeping with a .44 Magnum under his pillow!

    I heard a story about a local man who worked as a laborer for a rich farming family.
    Anyway he came across the son of his employer hanging dead in the cowshed.
    He went inside and the dinner was made for him and because he had been working out in the cold he decided to eat the dinner first and then tell the woman of the house that her son was hanging in the cow shed.

    My friend's brother died here in England. My friend phoned over to break the news to her widowed mother in Ireland. It was a Sunday and the Ma always went out set dancing on a Sunday evening. She told my friend not to contact any of the other relatives in Ireland - she'd do it herself on the Monday.
    She deliberately delayed breaking the news so that she wouldn't have to miss going dancing.
    And she wondered why the family all went to England ...

    Both those stories are horrible but I still laughed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭Blueboggirl


    My brother and myself were reminiscing about our aunt who passed when we were young. She was quite special and a big influence in our life. He started to tell me how one night he snuck out of bed to go DOWNSTAIRS, and the aunt who was staying with us got up and told him that she she had heard his door creaking and if didnt want to be caught sneaking about out of bed at night, he needed to oil his door hinges, and she actually got something and oiled the door. At first I laughed, then I realised that she had passed before we ever moved into that house with stairs, she had only ever visited when we lived in a flat. We argued about it for quite a while, but he was adamant that I'd got my dates wrong, he remembered it clearly. Next day we checked with mum and yes, that aunt had passed BEFORE we ever moved out of the flats. It visibly shocked my brother, who's really practical and down to earth.

    In fairness, memories from our childhood are often incorrect or were possibly dreams. It's very possible your brother's memory was one or the other.

    It's easy to intermingle different memories in our heads from when we were kids. I've often remembered things and sworn by them, only to be told it happened in a totally different house or circumstance than where I had it placed it in my memory.

    Was he old enough at the time to have known she "should have been" dead when he saw her? I'm assuming if you were very close, he would have been aware of her passing ... and then subsequently shocked at seeing her again at the time? Or maybe his child's mind thought little of it.

    Not trying to take from your story, just offer (maybe comforting!!) explanations.

    it was obviously his round and he escaped through the window :p

    I haven't been here in a while. I just came looking for the thread now, and I had to click through 15 whole pages of threads to find it! It's thread number 300 in the list, that's how long it's been since it was last updated!

    Apologies to anyone who saw that there was a new reply and was expecting a new creepy story, but I have to bump it back up so that newer members get a chance to post in it, and previous members remember it's here!

    My beautiful mam lord rest her past away in Oct 28 this year. Today I was out with my best friend. I got a call off a private number. Answered it. There was nothing at the other end. No dial tone, nothing. I'm almost 100 percent certain this was my mam trying to let me know she's ok. I believe and KNOW it was her. The number rang from a text message that I have locked in me phone. And it was my number that rang when I checked the number under the private number yoke. It was MY number. Its so weird but comforting to know that shes here with me :) love ye ma

    (I know its not creepy or anything [actually kinda is] but I jus though I'd share it) :)
