Strange Deaths

No-one, especially a 74-year old, hangs out of a window after midnight to “adjust a satellite dish”. l find it very difficult to believe that anyone would steal sheep while tooled up with a crossbow.

There’s a lot more to this than we’re hearing.

Rod Hull was coming up to that age and he fell off his roof trying to adjust his satellite dish .. but I get what you're saying that it's unusual ..

Haunted Hospitals thread

The story is quoted down the page a bit.

15-12-2001 23:49

I saw a hospital ghost today!
I was walking along a corridor behind a woman (not a nurse) when she went past a stack of those red plastic chairs. The top one suddenly slid off and fell against her- then onto the floor, because she wasn't there! She vanished before my eyes. No doors nearby. I did a quick search around and nobody was around that end of the ward. So I replaced the chair and went about my proper business.
This was about 10 this morning, no drink taken. I'm delighted.
I remember this very well. The woman had a long pale coat on, with a hood which was up so I couldn't see her hair. I saw her legs and feet, and thougt at the time that she must be a nurse going off-duty. Funny that she had her hood up indoors though.

When she approached the stack of chairs, the top one vibrated and rattled back and forth before pitching forward onto the woman. I can't imagine how it could fall off on its own.

As a newby, I've been reading a lot of you guys' old comments on Forteana throughout the years. As well as already learning a lot of interesting stuff, I often find myself crying with laughter. You lot should be on TV.

Crossbow German deaths: Two shot through heart, one in neck

And it's a Cult!

The man killed in a crossbow murder-suicide pact in Germany is believed to have led a cultish group devoted to medieval folklore and treated the women around him like slaves, reports say.

The bodies of Torsten W and two women were found in a hotel room in Bavaria on Saturday, alongside three crossbows. The deaths were linked to two more deaths in Germany on Monday. Torsten W appeared to have controlled the women like an oppressive sect leader, German media reports. The alleged cult-like leader, 53, and woman, Kerstin E, 33, were found in bed, hand in hand, impaled with arrows from the modern crossbow. Farina C, 30, who had been hit in the neck with an arrow, was lying on the floor. The three had checked in on Friday evening, for three nights without breakfast, and the bodies were found by a room maid.
