Over the summer I visited my old home town It's got a a lot of really old buildings. I decided to visit the old flea pit which has been restored to its 1911 glory. There was only me and a woman in the ticket office in the building. I sat down in the middle row of seats facing the screen admiring...

I can’t remember where, but I have a memory of reading an account of a traveler on a train who was going past a field in which there were several horses. The traveler claimed that one of the horses was huge, they estimated it at about 20 feet in height. They stated that it was stood quietly...

One night in the early nineties a friend and I were out late at night walking around not far from where I live. I used to enjoy being out in the early hours when everyone was tucked up in bed for some reason. We decided to explore the grounds of the high school we had attended although we didn't...

I've reported and commented on previous occasions about being in the unusual position of realising I'm at the mundane and un-fortean end of someone else's amazing coincidence. Today I seem to have found I'm the non magical instigator of what might seem to the people at the end of the sequence...

Hi everyone, I'm a longtime lurker and new member. I have two really good stories you might enjoy, one happened to me, and another happened to a friend. I should say upfront I am a skeptic, I don't believe in the paranormal (No offence to anybody who does believe, I respect everyone's...

Sorry if this is covered in another thread. Two years ago, on a Saturday afternoon, I had one of those phone calls from my oldest friend that no one ever wants to get. She was calling me to tell me that her husband had just died there in front of her (in the last few Minutes) and could I get...

This happened last summer as I recall dawn had broken and I was still twisting and turning in bed feeling uncomfortably warm. Out of nowhere a disembodied female voice delivered a message into my left ear which caused me to shoot out of bed. I instantly forgot the content (which is odd in...

After reading many accounts of the paranormal and weird on this forum, I now wonder if my first home was haunted or had a poltergeist. Is there a difference? Sorry, this story is going to be disjointed because I started posting on another thread and realized that I was telling a full story...

The story is about the Chinese college-entrance exam. In most provinces of China, students commonly choose the targeted universities after their marks and provincial rankings are disclosed. However, the admission score was unknown at that moment. Students, particularly those who get a high...

this happened a couple of weeks ago, on afternoon of sunday 12th march in fact ... and not far from the locus of the bizarre night in mississippi i have been gradually exploring backroads of the mississippi delta by car over the last period, stopping and checking out historic blues places and...

I’m pretty sure there is an insomnia thread on here somewhere, but I don’t think a creepy Insomnia thread so thought I’d start one. I have been suffering mild insomnia for around 20 years now. It flares up from time to time and it’s not nice, and sometimes bloody creepy hence my post. I woke...

In the early to mid 1990s I had my first (and so far only) visit to a spiritualist church. I’d called with a friend to see one of his elderly friends and she said she was going to the church that evening as there was a guest medium appearing who she wanted to see. Somehow we got persuaded to...

This didn't happen to me, but it did happen to my sister a few weeks ago so I thought it might belong in here! She's a strange one at the best of times, although not especially interested in anything Fortean. Throughout her life she has certainly had her share of unexplainable experiences, which...

Another thread I just read about the child seeing the old lady in black with the limp triggered a memory of a sad time for my family in the early 1980s when my aunt died suddenly in London and her husband died at the funeral. Our cousins were staying with us in Ireland as the adults travelled...

I can’t claim to have had a lot of paranormal/Fortean experiences in my life, but here is one incident that I recall from time to time that I have no explanation for. First of all, a confession! I’m a bit of an Enya fan. I have bought all the CD’s and still listen to her music. Maybe that...

About 3am, several flashes of light VERY similar to a strong camera flash or a Hollywood style lightning effect went off outside my window, lighting the whole room. I was awake at the time. I live in London, but my room backs on to quiet garden areas. I looked out of the window about a minute...

I'll get right to it. I wonder if any of you forteans can connect with this. Over the years I have always enjoyed woods and forests whether it be walks, mucking around with my kids or just being in nature as a change from city life. But not all woods have the same feel. I lived near the...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. It's my first post and I joined in order to get it written down in case it comes true. It concerns a story my Grandmother told me when I was in my early teens. She died in 1967 so it was in the mid-sixties. This story was given to her by an...

Just like my life changed after I witnessed a flying vehicle 25 years ago with 3 other women - Now I know for certain that there are mysteries out there and that we don't know everything going on in the universe. And that we are not alone.

Well then, first thread... and I thought I'd start with the tale that brought me back to this forum, in a roundabout way. Story first - and then what came after, in separate posts in case anyone wishes to quote certain sections back at me. Apologies for the length, future posts shouldn't be so...

this was a weird collection of events, compressed into a raw couple of hours towards end august 2019 fortean sidekick and i were staying in greenwood MS ( now basically my second home), we had driven down to madison to catch once upon a time in hollywood, nearest cinema ... after, we met a pal...

I’d been meaning to tap this one up for ages, but have always been put off by the length of the bloody thing. Today however some IT dude knocked out the systems at work, so the internet is all we’ve had since 2pm Sorry, this is long, bear with though,, Dartmoor in SW England is one of my...

I distinctly remember a supernatural incident that happened to me many years ago. It happened on 16th October 1982. In those days I worked as a stage manager for the Welsh theatre company, Theatr Clwyd. We were doing a production of She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith at the Grand Theatre...

I'm mentioned my extraordinary - though i hesitate to tempt fate or rely on it happening - equilibrium between unexpected expenses and unexpected windfalls several times on here. It happens so often its hard to credit it to coincidence. Well a variant of it has happened again, so a quick...

A couple of years ago I bought (or, to be accurate was bought) a set of teaspoons. Six, basic, ordinary teaspoons to replace the bastards that have crept away over the years. Within moments, I was down to five teaspoons - one thrown out, fell down the back of a cupboard, who knows? I laboured...

Honestly, how long have I been here? And I haven't told the tale of the thing that started my interest in the paranormal, tch! We've just sold the family house, so it's safe enough to tell now, I guess. Our family home was a two bed terrace in Exeter, and to go to the loo you had to go up the...

Further to a discussion in another dream thread, a few participants agreed it would be worthwhile starting a thread for people to share dreams which may contain elements of prediction or precognition. If subsequent news reports appear to corroborate details from the dream, we would then have...

My first time posting here, please bear with me as I describe the area where this took place, as it is important in understanding what happened, I think in 2000 or 2001. I live in the Pacific Northwest on some acreage that includes forest. That forest includes big trees and smaller ones, ferns...

Late last night, when everyone in the house was asleep except me, some odd things began to happen. For convenience, I'll describe the layout of the house and where everyone was sleeping, hopefully it will give a better idea of what it was like: The bedrooms are on one side of the house, in an...

Most people will be aware of the film Duel. (Speilberg's first). My memory, however, insists I've watched two different versions of it, one in black and white with the shabby dark tanker lorry and and old rounded car driven by a 50's businessman type, one with a newer red flat fronted lorry...

Hello, everyone, I'm a longtime lurker finally decloaking. This isn't the story I'd planned to tell, and it didn't even happen to me, but it did happen to my nine-year-old daughter, and I'm posting on both our behalfs (behalves?). It's quite long, for which I apologise, but I'd like to include...

I stared at the goat, its eyes were square, and I didn't understand why, but the vision stayed with me for the rest of my life, and that night I woke up, I knew the goat had come for me. It all started off innocently enough, I took a mild interest in goats, I found them interesting...

How were you murdered? N...O...S... Girl who was clearly pushing the planchette: "Noose!" Me: No. That spells nose. He was murdered with a nose." On Sunday last (19th January) I attended my first paranormal vigil. A ticketed event investigation into a purportedly haunted building. I had...

Odd things do happen to us all, if only we'd realise and take the chance to look. Here's some weird things that have happened to me over the 30 years of my life; I can remember when I was a kid and I was falling asleep in bed, I can sort of subconsciously remember something stroking my hair...

This is an account told to me by my father. It's always intrigued me. Before I delve into the story, I want to say I'd describe my dad as level-headed, a bit skeptical about most things, and pretty up-front. When my dad was younger, he often hung out with his mates in London. He'd often...

Hi Everyone, A friend has recommended that I come on here a share a story with you that my Dad recently told me about something that he saw around 40 years ago. Looking at some of the other topics this story seems a little bit tame but its the best I've got at the moment! A few weeks ago I...

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oeo0h/reddit_tell_me_your_glitch_in_the_matrix_stories/ Some interesting IHTM-type stories.

Ok Ive had this sensation many times whilst at work in my business suit. Yes, Im already seeing crude replies of amusement :) Many times when stood and in almost any everyday situation I experience a vibration in my right side trouser pocket. When it begins I think my phone must be ringing...

In 2000 I was alone in a nicely furnished flat and loved the feeling of independence etc. I was in a new area and it was a private flat surrounded by council ones - nice :) I made a few friends who where elderley but those of my age range ignored me which later led to a stalker and anti...

I saw a bright light in the clear night sky, back in 2001. At first me and my mate thought it was a satalite, but then realised that it was moving too fast. It then shot across the sky from one side to the other, changing direction at incredible speed, flying one way, then another, turning at...

This is a bit weird and at the time I wondered if it was normal for everyone or just me but I didn't tell anyone. I tell you all now at the risk of finding out it's totally normal and nothing strange but I don't know. WHen I was a teenager I lived with my Dad and regularly would see things...

My mother has told me a few times of an occasion when she was left alone in her house when she very young. Her father wasn't caring for her well and she was upset that she was left in the middle of the day, when it was sunny outside. As she sat on a chair in the kitchen she noticed the back...

Not sure if this will be allowed as it happened to a colleague of mine, not me. However the person in question is a very hard-nosed, no-nonsense businesswoman (let's call her Sarah) and I can't for the life of me think why she would make this up. Also, the creepiest thing about this story is...

First post here so be gentle… When I was very young, probably about four or five, we lived in a lovely old detached cottage in East Devon where all manner of very odd things happened, but this one incident seemed madder than the rest. I had a Pooh Bear at the time, and took it absolutely...

Alright so, um well theres this kid I know and I don't know, sometime around the winter of 08, he came over my house to drop something off and well as he was standing outside my door, and we were talking. I then noticed his eyes looked snake like, yknow like slits. And well I chalked it up to...

I'm sure it's been covered here before, but here goes, nothing major, but I was cycling to work last week when I passed a parked car on the opposite side of the road, the driver's window was wound down and a women was sat in the driver seat. I looked at her, (as a cyclist I'm always checking...

I gotta theory that places with a lot of earth disturbance are creepy - ex-mining villages, ironstone extraction, china clay, quarrying. They don't get any better when slagheaps are reassimilated into weirdly smooth grass hills. Strange villages got worse since they lost their railways IMO...

Okay, this is a bit embarrassing but if I can't tell my story here, where can I tell it? :D I must have been around two years of age when I had this experience. I remember the world being 'brown' and then I opened my eyes. (The brown color had been because my eyes were closed.) I...

My son was born in July of 1995, by November 1995 the child could climb stairs and stand up - he talked really early and was obsessed with drawing - but he was wary of water. I remember the plughole in the bath used to make a slurping sound when the water went down and it terrified him. He...

Me and my boyfriend went out today, and on the way to a supposed haunted location, (Northwood Park), we decided to tell each other our scary experiences. Whether or not the experiences we had MAY have been our imagination, some of them he told me left tingles down my spine. So, I was...
