Has anything genuinely creepy or unnerving ever happened to you?

They say you can't die in your dreams. But i had a dream where i died one night. Very creepy.

Everyone was on top of a building and had to jump off it. There were crash mats in certain places but you didnt know til you jumped.

Anyways i jumped and hit the ground. Died. Instant infinite blackness in all directions but my mind was left active as it is now.

It was horrible. A mad panic hoping for some kindof light for me to walk into. Then a mad panic looking for company to talk to, a la other ghosts.

Then a realisation that i was trapped in blackness for eternity with just my own thoughts until i would go insane.

Then i woke up. Thank god!

This reminds me of a dream I had where I died in this life and went to hell.
In the dream there was a thousand foot skyscraper, on top of the sky scraper was a long metal rod and on the top of the rod there was a hook that reaced out beyond the building. I was hanging upside down from this hook, attached by a long wire tied to my ankles.
I was suspended in the air, upside down, too high for anyone to see me, below I could see windows in the building but I was to far away to get any access to them. There was no way of releasing myself from the wire or hook.
I swung myself around, I used all my strength to try and break the wire or untie it from my legs but nothing worked.

I had to stay on this hook suspended in thin air until I died of natural causes like dehydration or starvation. After I died I would reawaken in perfect health in the same position, suspended in thin air, alone to die another suffering death and the cycle would continue for eternity.

Sounds like the Ancient Greek Prometheus myth.

I was 18 and out with friends when I decided to skulk off and meet a guy, 24, who was texting me on grindr. I met him in his house on the city outskirts and I felt uncomfortable straight away. He seemed depressed and dirty, he did use real pictures but they were from a better time. Stench of cigarettes and bo off him. I was too shy to back out so I sat down on the couch making ****ty small talk (about my leaving cert of all things) and he went back to his room to plug in his phone so it "wouldnt disturb us". We didnt do much more than kissing when I asked him to get me something from the kitchen, and when he got up I darted for the door. I didnt try to suddenly rush out without saying goodbye because I was scared of him or anything, but because I just felt so overwhelmed I wanted the whole thing to end. I got to the front door and he sprung into the hall behind me asking what I was doing and to come back, I tried to open the door but it was locked. I entered major panic mode because I thought i was gonna be raped and killed, none of my friends even knew where I was. So I started beating the **** out of him and kept screaming for him to open the door, he got a set of keys from a hallway desk and unlocked the door, I was out like a ****ing rabbit. I remember the front gate just being old/stiff on my way in and I was afraid he'd be able to catch up to me before I got past it. I felt like Id never get out. I flung the gate back and legged it. I met my friends when the clubs closed and I told them I was thrown out of the club and drifted around for a while.

I dont know who lived in the house with him, but some of my friends say i completely overrected by not giving him a chance to explain himself. They think that he probably just locked the door to stop roommates/his parent from walking in on us, which is possible. But if that was the reason then I dont get why he lied about putting away his phone, because that must have been when he locked the door, and even if it was the case that wasnt a reason to hide the keys in the drawer. Either way, better safe than sorry. Never in my life have I felt that feeling of dread so strongly.

I do not think you over-reacted: that feeling of dread should never be ignored - your subconscious had picked up the smell of danger and the details like locked door etc. bear this out.

I think we have "spidey senses" in our old brain that are alert to dangers, and they give us warning: don't ignore them!

Yep, I've experienced that feeling a couple of times and I never ignore it.

If in doubt, get out.

Jeez it is a complete overreaction.....he might have just locked the door and put keys away out of habit.

I always lock the door, especially if company were over.
And if my date was high tailing out of there I'd try to talk them into staying.
There may be a more sinister thing to it but beating the crap outta him?
Over reaction or life saving action? Who knows?

Its always those dreams when you know you're dreaming so when I wake up its never a shock or feeling of terror. Like another poster said it was never creepy

I sort of have to agree with this. I've had dreams where I have fallen off a local bridge onto a walkway underneath (the height of drop would mean certain death in reality) and all I can say is that it was somewhat stressful during the dream more than anything else. Thinking back on it after it possibly seems mildly creepy but during the dream itself the best emotion I could use is mildly stressful. Maybe that's just me and my innate inability to experience the full spectrum of emotions and feelings when sleeping.

Anyway my own unnerving experience....
My aunts husband, an absolute gentleman, died fairly young back in 1991 after a brief illness. He was in a small hospital for a week or so before his death and they lived about 30-40 miles away from us.

The phone like a lot of other things we were the last to get it in and we did not have a landline in the house at the time. We had got word of a few family deaths from neighbours who had the phone in before this...a lot of my relations had their number for emergencies etc.

Anyway on this evening as I recall I was out for a walk with my mother and my 2 siblings. Not long back and I in particular heard a bang below in my sisters room, which previously would have being my parents room. Went down to look and a picture had randomly fallen off the wall. The odd thing was that there was absolutely no reason for it to fall off. It wasn't like it was cleaned or tampered with in any way for some considerable time beforehand. It was an internal concrete wall and there was no drilling etc of any walls in the house soon beforehand either. No one would have being in the room for some time beforehand for that matter.

We got word later that evening that our aunts husband had died. We worked out that he would have passed in around the same time that the picture fell.

The picture also landed upright against the wall and for whats it worth it was a tapestry of a castle in our local town (a town which the man that died had no affirmative connection with).

I am a logical person and would always look for a logical rational explanation in these situations before I rule in supernatural so as to speak. But I just can't find a logical explanation in this instance. I did post this story over in the paranormal forum many moons ago but got ridiculed for it badly enough there.
