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...

In a recent consultation with an easten mystic i was told that i am under attack from Jinns. This kinda just washed over me until he told me what he learnt from their traces around me. Theres me abroad to join in with the world cup and then suddenly I feel shocked! This man didnt care for...

I recently posted about weird lights appearing in night-time photos taken outside the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin. My girlfriend, who took the shots, seems to be a magnet for such anomalous artifacts - last month she took this shot of her sister at her house in the USA, which...

I know that there is probably a whole thread on this, but being new to posting you'll forgive me for putting this out on this particular forum. About ten years ago i was going through a particularly down patch in my life. I had just split up with a boyfriend and decided to accompany a friend...

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...

This story is in response to my previous strange occurrence within my Grandparents house. From a very early age I would very regularly stay at my Grandparents house while both of my parents were running a business at the time. So sometimes I would either spend all afternoon there or arrive in...

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...

Hi All This is my 1st post on here so please bear with me and be gentle. Has anyone got any info or stories about look-a-likes? My intrest began about 4 years ago when my Granma passed away. We went along to the residental home she had been living in after suffering a stroke and were...

I had always believed that there is a scientific explanation for any "odd" experiences people have. I always knew it was just people's beliefs making these things happen. I always considered myself sensible enough to know that there is a reasonable explanation for anything. That is until I...

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...

I enjoyed reading issue FT240 as I am a strong believer in time slips, De ja vu and parallel universes, for example the loch ness monster is a dinosaur from 63 million years ago but is only seen when a time slip occurs in the ness area, mothman is a creature from a parallel universe which doesnt...

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...

Hi everyone! I posted this on SSPR before I found out about Fortean Times Message Boards. I had a weird experience in my own home, if someone could help clarify this for me it would be useful. This was summer 2006 and it was stinking hot. I couldn't sleep in my bed and so I went...

Many years ago, mom told me about how she went to the location of Custer's last stand and felt the incredible amount of sadness in the area. (I also found similar accounts in an obscure ghost book. So, when we (my mom, my aunt and I) found ourselves in the area two days, we couldn't resist...

I've been meaning to come back and post some of the other strange things which have been happening in this house. The activity has slowed down somewhat lately, and it doesn't feel as 'sinister' I spose the word is, as it used to. One of the most intriguing things that have happened here...

In my youth, on my way home from school with some school friends, I saw this large mother craft in the sky (400-500 ft long, I should imagine). It floated slowly between two banks of clouds and was clearly visible for ten minutes, over the school we had just vacated. The strange thing was I...

Hello!! I have been lurking for some time now, and have finally decided to post my story! Just to give you a little background, I have had a couple of strange things happen to me, I would say I am quite psychic, although I have never actually seen anything strange, I have heard and 'felt'...

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...

Hello all. The “new members” thread doesn’t seem to work, so in the spirit of the forum I suppose my first post ought to go in here. Despite my huge and overwhelming scepticism about all things spooky and supernatural, I am at a loss to explain the following, which is annoying. It happened...

The following happened to me in Banglumphu, Bangkok, about 3 months ago. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts, as this was one of the most scary and inexplicable things I've experienced. I was walking up Rambuttri Road early one evening, on my way to a music venue in a backpacker ghetto...

As much as I would like to say this happened to me, it didn't. This is my mother's tale, recounted a few times to me (under duress, mind you), so I'm posting it here via her. This happened when I was about 5 years old. It was late January, and it was snowy and cold. The now old Christmas tree...

Ive seen, heard and felt things since I was a little girl. So now when somthing happens or I see somthing as much as I have a brief flutter of fear of the unknown, I tend to calm down and replace the fear with curiosity. Hell I even used to put my hand down when I was in bed so that the monster...

When visiting my old place of employment, after moving up north to 'Thurso' (coincidence it was same basis of name as day?), after an absence of 3 years, I found nobody I recognised at all. Going back a couple of days later, I bumped into someone I knew outside and half a dozen other co-workers...

I live in central London. I have to say that what I am about to report has not happened to me for ages now, but about five years ago it was happening all the time, and people were very dismissive (except a few who were with me when it happened). All of which probably sounds more interesting...

Is it worth having a thread for minor IHTM strangenesses, that dont quite warrant their own threads, or should I be posting this in chat? I was in a bakers shop in chorlton, south manchester a couple of days ago. As I was walking towards the door on my way out, I noticed there was a poster in...

Not sure whether this should be here or in Cryptozoology, but here goes. A few years ago I was seeing a girl in Stevenage (luckily I have since moved ) who's sister was single with three kids. I never asked what happened to her husband - this being Stevenage I probably assumed she never had...

I was house sitting for my girlfriend's aunt last week as she (and most of the rest of my girlfriend's family) had gone on holiday for the week. My girlfriend's aunty has a dog, as does her mother and I had to look after both the dogs as well. My girlfriend had been away for the weekend as it...

In the summer of 1994, when I was unemployed for a while, I took a walk down to St. Mary's Church in Llanfair P.G., Anglesey, North Wales, U.K. The church is centuries old and the adjoining cemetery is full - there is hardly any room left for further burials. The church is right next to a...

This event happened to me when I was about 9 years old and living in Preston, Lancashire, which would make it 1989. I was playing in the street with two friends, it was late summer and a very warm evening. At about 6pm my friends were called by their parents to go and have their dinner. I...

I just thought I'd post this and see if anyone has experienced anything similar. From time to time I will hear a word or phrase that I've never come accross before. While this is not extraordinary in itself, I do have a fairly large vocabulary. The strange thing is, it always seems like...

....twice ive woken up in the night to find one of these things - (not sure what their called) floating past me, each time ive sat up in bed and watched the thing (?) for around 3 seconds as it moves slowly, then dissapears. once i tried to touch it but it dissapeared before i could...

Twice, within the past month I have been walking though a busy area of Liverpool City centre, and have distinctly heared someone shout my name. I look around and see no-one I recognise. I doubt it is someone passing by in a car as this particular area is almost a no-go area for cars due to...

Hi all! This is my first post on this forum, and before I go any further I should perhaps apologize in advance for any misspellings and deformed sentences; English is not my first language. The event I´d like to tell you about took place quite a few years ago, in the early nineties. Somehow...

Hi all :lol: new to this board. Some of the stuff is serious............... Can I ask opinions on 2 things????? 1/ I always used to mock my father for his story, when he was a child about 5/6, that would be in the late 1920's he claims he was playing in the road when he clearly saw what he...

First post, so will attempt to be interesting and succinct. In my late teens and early twenties (mid 1980's) I was a touring musician living in hotel rooms and out of a suitcase (my non-ghost related stories are probably FAR more hair-raising! haha!). One particular night, the band was...

I'm a long time lurker so thought It was time to post something. It's not all that exciting but has had me a bit puzzled ever since. About a month or so back I was sat using the PC when the mains power went off, whilst at the same time a loudish sound seemed to eminate from the top corner of...

after lurking in here for a while and posting the odd reply, I thought I'd come right out and post my own experience. I was in my last year of primary school, so thats what...10/11? I was lying awake in my bed (lights off, curtains open-- thats how I liked to sleep at the time, no idea...

About 3 years ago I was walking through a park at night near where I live with around 5 or 6 friends. The park has a tiny area of woodland next to the swings and such. We cut through there so we could get to the main road. However, on the way we saw a man with a big black bag. We stood aside and...

Hi all I am a first time poster so please bear with me if I make any mistake. I experienced weirdness earlier this year while I was driving. I drove a work colleague back to his house from Manchester England to Stockport which is about a 15 minutes drive. I took the motorway when taking...

I wanted to share a couple of what were to me at least inexplicable events. I live in a modern flat (about 15 years old). There is nothing odd or spooky about it, but around three years ago two strange things occurred. At about 3am on morning I found myself wide awake. Someone had turned...

Has anyone ever seen their cat inside, fast asleep and then minutes later had to let it in at the front door? I have heard of people having this experience and, being fairly cynical, would perhaps have been ready to dismiss it as a simple mistake, except..... Years ago I was at home with a...

Every since earlier this afternoon, there has been an odd swirling circle on my ceiling. I assumed it was the sunlight reflecting off of something and didn`t give it much thought. Now, not only is is STILL THERE, but it has started to vibrate and spin faster. Every time I glance over at it, it...

I am an avid hunter, alway have been. When I was younger and living in my parents home (which was thought to have my deceased grandfather wondering around) I had several 8x10 hunting photos, in frames, hanging on the wall above my bed. One morning I awoke to find four or five of the...

I've read a few of the night terror postings and have a similar personal experience I would like to get some thoughts on. A couple of years ago I was living with my parents, in our new house, which was built on the back yard of our old house which my parents had knocked down as it was...

I just want to post something. But am mildly curious as to whether anyone else gets this too. I frequently get the feeling of a presence just behind my left shoulder/ear. Sort of a feeling of pressure or a change in atmosphere - just as you would feel if someone was standing right behind you. It...

I'm new to these forums, and I've got a pretty good one. Still creeps me out to this day. This story takes place somewhere around the summer of 98, I was 13 years old. I lived about 2 miles out from a small town. There was a pond a few houses down the road from mine, in rural northern...
