Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

Waked through a graveyard once, picked what I believed was a stick, it was a rib.
Gave it to my dog.

I wonder did you see Ball Lightning?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

I saw ball lightning once. I was about 14/15 going up to my school for Scouts, as that was where my local troop were based. Anyway winter evening, I'm walking with another chap in said scouts and we see this ball of light off to our right in the field beside the school driveway. Very intense blue white, about the size of a beachball I'd reckon. Just hovering about 200 feet in old money from us and about six feet above the ground. No noise. Oddly I don't remember it appearing, it just was suddenly there. We stopped and looked at it of course and then it started to move towards the school building and we matched its path, it then sped forward at a good speed(it had been walking pace before) and then popped like a bubble. No noise I can remember, but there was a smell of seaweed of all things. Salty sea air, or Iodine?

I put my runners out on the windowsill of my bedroom this evening cos they were a bit stinky.

A magpie flew down and started pecking at them. Pecking away for ages, I'm guessing to try get fluff for his nest. Then he saw me lying on the bed and was just staring at me for ages. Bobbing his head around to get a better look at me.So creepy.

I shouted at him to go away but he held tough! Brave little fella. Dark dark glass eyes looking right into my soul!

Then

I log on to boards this evening and on the first page of after hours there's a thread titled "magpies " !!!

He was probably wondering if your runners were that tasty how good the rest of you would taste. Sometime after midnight, he'll be back with the rest of the parliament and they'll break the glass battering at it to get into you. Get those runners and put them on in bed. You'll need them.

Ozone more than likely.

Ozone, absolutely.

I once lived by a beach, Wibbster. When ever a thunder storm was brewing, 'out there', the scent of the ozone became a stink! Extremely noticeable. Not at all pleasant.

And, no, I'm not talking about the bang of old seaweed drifting in on the wind. There was No sea weed along this stretch. Never smelled of anything. Till a thunder and lightening storm came in from France. Then, the ozone smell was a bit horrible.

Never have checked out what the hell ozone is. Just something ye learned, living there. Someone would say; " Smell that ozone? Storm coming. "

And another one from me. We were talking about the Ouija board at a party over the weekend and it reminded me of what happened to me when me a 3 other mates were playing the Ouija. We were all 11/12. I wasn't controlling the piece we were using for the letters, but I asked 3 questions
1 - Name of the girl that would be my 1st shift? - Christina (true)
2 - Name of the girl I would lose my virginity to? - Pamela (true)
3 - Name of the woman I'd marry? - Daniela (true)

A few days later we were doing the Ouija again, and left it alone. The piece we had been controlling started moving on it's own spelling out BYE.

Bit of a glitch in the matrix moment today, driving along a stretch of road and I see a guy decide to run across the road, nothing unusual but I randomly picked up on his clothes and hood up etc, 5 seconds later at a set of lights the same lad is waiting to cross back over the way he came! I was driving 80kmh a hour there's no way he ran fast enough to get there ahead of me!

I did that tour and when the lights went out there was just nothingness, total absence of light... apart from a weird glow that seemed to be appearing near our feet.

The glow seemed to be pulsing a bit which was unexpected and a bit freaky, until I realised that it was just my young fella's runners with the lighty-up heels that were popular a few years back, and *not* a glowing hellspawn from the depths of the earth come to eat our mortal souls, which, in many respects, was a relief.

The magpie brings us tidings
of news both fair and foul
she's more cunning than the raven
more wise than any owl
for she brings us news of the harvest
of the barley, wheat and corn
and she knows when we'll go to our graves
and how we shall be born

one's for sorrow
two's for joy
three's for a girl and
four's for a boy
five's for silver
six for gold
seven's for a secret never told

devil devil i defy thee

What other bird has something like that written about them... I’d be afraid if I were you...VERY..afraid..

Talk about a thread taking a nose dive

Poor Uncle Tom · 19-08-2018 12:55pm

I was at the pub the other night, one of the locals was telling a story, I thought of this thread>

He was on his outfarm cleaning out one of the outhouses when he saw a neighbouring old woman walking up and down the boreen outside of the farmyard screaming and shoutung flailing her hands wildly and gesturing at him, he couldn't make out words just screeching noises he said. This went on for 10 minutes he said, it frightened him badly because this woman, who was known to him, had died two years ago.

Mind you, he was on his fifth chaser when he was telling the yarn.......

Lorelli! · 19-08-2018 6:05pm

This was just weird but when I was around 13, every Friday after school for a while, my friend and I would get the bus and go to her sisters. We always sat upstairs at the long back seat and left the space between us so that each of us sat beside a window. The time we got the bus meant that it wasn't that busy so rarely any passengers came upstairs.

This day, a couple of stops later a man got on. He was very skinny, gaunt and he looked like he hadn't slept for years. His eyes were spaced but I didn't think he was on drugs or anything and he stared straight at you. It was like he didn't blink when he looked at you or something and he looked twitchy, agitated. Of all the empty seats upstairs, he chose to sit in the backseat right inbetween my friend and I. I just got a weird feeling and I looked over across him to my friend and she looked at me worried. He saw this. He turned his head and looked at my friend, then at me and then down at his crotch and he jumped up out of the seat and moved to a seat in front of us but kept turning around. My friend and I just sat and said nothing for the whole journey but we were ****ting ourselfs. I can't remember if our stop was before his or any of the rest of what happened that time.

Anyway when I was around 16, I was getting the bus home after some shopping. Sat upstairs in the back seat. Saw a lad from school who was about 2 years younger than me. He sat near my seat but I didn't know him to talk to. That was grand until that bloke ended up getting on the bus again and I recognized him straight away. He sat about two seats in front of me but he kept turning around and blatantly staring at me. I just had a really bad feeling. I decided to make conversation with the lad from school and when the bloke wasn't looking, I gestured to the school lad like "watch your man, wtf?" We just kept talking about school and stayed calm.

When the man went to get off at his stop, he had to face us when going down the stairs on the bus and he glared with this intense but emotionless expression right at me the whole time until his head disappeared from our view. He didn't even
look down at the steps which you would naturally do going down a winding stairs on a moving bus. The lad and I gave a sigh of relief when he went and I said something like "you saw that too right?'

When the bus stopped, the school fella and I looked out the window to make sure the guy got off the bus. As the bus was moving away, we saw him walking on the path and he stared up at us with that same look and never took his eyes away until the bus went on.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it as scary as it was but it was strange. I don't know if there was something wrong or what but he scared the life out of me and Id never forget his face!

"Creepy and unnerving" is "dark", both supernatural and not. There's nothing "light" about "creepy and unnerving".

I think it can cover both. What some one considers supernatural would be creepy and what someone considers to be creepy someone could interpret it as supernatural.

well expressed. and we are each different. Like where we live.. many would be freaked out living on a tiny island, whereas it is the dimension I am happy and at ease in.

Many of the posts I have put on have depended on the reader for their effect . some see them as dark others love them.

they are all supernatural in the sense that they are beyond the norm we see as natural.

small example. a true one.

I hired a water diviner years ago ( he taught me how to do it and with a wire coat hanger)

He told me he used to be a terrible drinker; his father worrried himself sick about that
One night he was driving and suddenly in the road in front of him saw his own tombstone.
Never drank again.

is that creepy, dark? Certainly supernatural

there will be as many answers to that as there are folk reading this.

jiltloop · 20-08-2018 2:46pm

Fair enough, personally I think the thread has somewhat lost it's appeal with the move away from creepy and unnerving but obviously that's the way it is developing organically and so is the will of other people who have been enjoying the thread.

I'm happy for the thread to go whatever direction the general consensus dictates, just wanted to contribute my opinion for what it's worth.

I was more referring to your "supernatural but LIGHT" comment. I think the presence of the word light in the context of supernatural means that this does not fit in with the original "creepy and unnerving" which was the initial point of the thread.

ah I meant spiritual LIGHT no tlight as in trivial. sorry.

there is huge depth in the supernatural

creepy is in the beholder.. nothing I have posted actually fits then. I am never creeped out or unnerved. OK I withdraw then? I do not belive in creepy or unnerving as such as they are of darkness but in the supernatural, that third dimension.

Supernatural stories are interesting/scary to some but to me they are like reading fairy tales and fantasies.

I get a shiver down my spine when I hear the stories that have happened someone or could actually happen. I find that much more intriguing.

3yr old "perched" on the back of the couch yesterday.

"mammy look, im a bird. I'm blackbird singing to the dead"

"Oh cute. You mean blackbird singing in the dead of night?" (A song he's very familiar with.)

"No. Just singing to the dead"

"....o....kay......"

I was on the Luas a few years back and this grotesque woman got on with her equally haggard friend. The 2 of them were speaking to each other in what sounded like a long lost dialect of Irish. The smell coming from the first woman was enough to wake the dead. I had to get off the Luas early as the stench was overwhelming.

I have FINALLY made it to the end of this thread

I grew up in an old house (maybe 200 years old) for as long as I remember I always had that feeling at night that there was someone watching me, to the extent that I would be in bed with the covers over my head terrified to move. When I was little I had the downstairs bedroom, I must have been about 5 or 6 , I woke one night and seen a person standing in the doorway with a rain jacket on with the hood up. I didn't feel scared at the time, just looked at it and went back to sleep.

When I was a teenager I moved to the upstairs bedroom. This is where I really used to get that horrible feeling of a presence always being there. One night I woke up and seen a little girl standing at the end of my bed. I sh*t myself and turned on the lamp - obviously no one was there.

Another time I was lying on the couch watching TV with my mam (during the day) and I glanced over to the window and seen a boy peering in the window. Shouted to my mam and she went out to see who it was. No one was there and there was no where on the road that someone could have hidden.

Parents went away one weekend and I got my now husband to come and stay with me. (I've never stayed a night on my own in that house!) I had told him all my stories but he didn't believe in any of it. Anyway went to bed. He woke me in middle of night saying there was someone in the doorway. My first thought was someone had broken in. He just kept saying theres a man standing there looking at us.
The lightswitch was across the room so I jumped up and turned on the light no one there. Now he isn't easily spooked but he was so scared that he made us get in his car and drive back to his house in the middle of the night. No way would he stay there.

I moved out when I was twenty and have lived in 3 different houses since. Not once have I gotten that feeling of being watched since. My husband's grandparents are from the area and were talking about where I grew up etc and I told them the house I lived in and they said that they had heard stories years ago about it being haunted.
