    "Thing In The Attic/Cellar" Stories

    Is it me, or when a significant number of people recall attic/basement events, attics are remembered from the bottom of the stairs or ladders looking up, while basements are almost always seen from the top of the stairs looking down? Bachelard postulated something similar in The Poetics of Space

    Crisis Apparitions--Any New Cases?

    Storm - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you. But your story is almost a carbon copy of my own. My Dad died of cancer in June 06. The night of the day he died, my Mam's friend had a dream about my Dad. Apparently he appeared to her saying that he was fine. She didn't find...

    Lights on my stairs

    Hello. A bit of an update on things. No more lights around the area on the stairs of my house which in one way is good but in another way is slightly disheartening. BUT! I was lying in bed a few nights ago and our poor little boy has been suffering with a hellish cold. As such, I have been...

    Lights on my stairs

    I've seen them again. Once tonight and once last week. Last week I was walking along our landing and as I was approaching our bedroom door, to the lower right of me I saw what I can best describe as a fleeting irridescence that looked like a string of diamonds, perhaps around half a foot long...

    The Philosophy Student

    Again, slightly OT, I saw a students trig papers in Maths once and the question said 'On the adjacent triangle, find x' (where x was the length of one of the triangles sides). He drew an arrow pointing towards the letter x and wrote next to it... 'Here it is' What a knob.

    Lights on my stairs

    I didn't want to post this in the original message as I knew what it might insinuate, but we lost my Dad not too long ago and as much as I'm reticent to start making a connection between the lights and my Dad, it's certainly in my mind.

    Lights on my stairs

    Hiya everyone. Something strange happened yesterday and as strange as it was my reaction was almost as weird. I'll post and you can decide for yourself. We live in an end terrace Victorian house. Its a little bigger than a two up and two down but I guess it's along the same lines. We have...

    Freaky Video

    It reminded me of Vivians sock in The Young Ones episode where they visit the laundry. Viv - 'Get in the sack sock' Sock - 'I'm not going in there, it stinks'!!! Don't know which was more amusing........

    Top Ten Ghost Pictures - Breakout

    I think you have to question the ability of the photographer firstly. For starters, the composition has a set of handlebars jutting in the frame so if they were not bothered about having that in there, why would they pay attention to the background?? However, the supposed figure that is...

    Rotating Lights In The Sky

    They are often used by pubs and clubs to attract folk. Theres a place in Worcester that use them, you can see them for miles and miles. Also, my home town of barrow in furness had a set mounted on the top of the town hall, as well as the two nearest towns also had some, a kind of weird spotlight...

    Technical question concerning Digital photography

    I take on board what you say but I'm not sure I'm convinced. A digital camera has a sensitive chip called a CCD (Charged Coupled Device) which in basic terms transfers the light entering the lens into the picture that you eventually see. If the camera, media card or CCD has malfunctioned in...

    its very easy to produce that sort of image. You import one image into Photoshop, get the second, increase the transparency and lay it over the top of the first. et voila.

    there was a feature on one of those terrible shows with linda blair something like "worlds most scariest place/ghost's/voiceover/overacting', something like that.

    'seeing' thoughts

    This thread got me thinking of something that I used to do as a kid. When I was going to sleep, I used to lay face down on my pillow and after a short amount of time, what seemed like a yellow-ish blob would form in my vision. Slowly, it would stretch out and bend round to form what looked like...

    Creepy Sleepwalkers/Talkers

    Not quite sleep walking/talking etc, but my Dad used to have the worst cases of night terrors ever. At the dead of night he would just suddenly start screaming for no reason at all. I mean, totally blood curdling screams. Even the slightest sound of me coming in after a night out e.g me...

    Hypnagogic Cat & Mouse

    Yep, I've had pretty much exactly the same experience when I lived with my Mam & Dad, but with me it was often as I woke. I used to think that it was the dog that had jumped up on the bed, but it always seemed too light for that. Far from being comforting, it really used to freak me out :shock:

    The Queen Mary: Haunted?

    Awww, thats rubbish. I was hoping that the demure spectacle of such a wondeful looking ship would be done justice by the people who worked there, not some namby pamby 'act-tor' hamming up the haunting's. Such a shame.

    The Queen Mary: Haunted?

    Apologies if I'm going over old ground here but I stumbled across the website of The Queen Mary liner that is no longer in use. Some webcams on here show a reputidly haunted swimming pool. The whole ambiance of the place is great IMO. Really dig the 20's & 30's Art Deco vibe that is...

    Bell Witch: An Unusual Case

    I've just completed an A Level in photography, some of the horrors that people presented as 'abstract' were spookily like, er, crap photo's. And I agree, a lot of supernatural photo entities, IMO, are often mucky lenses, wrist straps or as mentioned, crap photographers. Presumably, if the...

    Silent Hill Film I remember playing Silent Hill when I got my first PlayStation and now it seems the film is about to hit the big screen. The trailer looks farily true to the game, so I hope its gonna be good.

    Creepy Cumbrian clinic (pics)

    As a Cumbrian born and bred, I have to say that this freaks me out. Can I ask where the cottage is? If its somewhere like Egremont or Cockermouth then I'd be really worried. :shock: :shock:

    Runcorn Old Police Station

    Feckin Hell, if you are planning a night out in Penrith, then you are plenty brave enough to visit your police cells in the heart of night. Speaking as a Cumbrian, there be few places scarier than Penrith on a Saturday night after a belly full of ale. Take care. Really. :wink:

    Stone Stacks (Inukshuks / Inuksuks, etc.)

    Found this in a book I picked up while in Seattle: An Inukshuk is a stone monument erected in the image of a human. It communicated direction in the harsh and desolate Arctic, sometimes stored caches of food and was a tool for survival. Symbolic of the act of an unselfish nomadic people, they...
