Damn, this is a creepy story!
I've had plenty of occasions usually, but not exclusively on calm nights when I lived in Scotland of experiencing the wee devils. In your eye's, up your nose, in your hair, covering your legs etc, but the worst place to hear the wee midge is up close and personal.I've never heard a sound either, despite that reference.
Well, there's the noise of slapping and swearing I suppose?
I wonder if having ancestors who lived in places which had The Midge mean you become semi immune to the noise?
Oh, Viennaaaaa!
i do want to mention, that the buzzing sound is common in marian apparations and ufo experiences, so maybe you did have the beginnings of a paranormal experience. some people describe it as bees in a large jar.
but i still think youre (overly) dramatic, and if it did happen, it didnt have anything to do with the previous events of the evening, your mood or depression.
maybe your guard was down or maybe i was the culty religion that makes you call this experience a "demon."
At the time, I was attending a Pentecostal-style church; while the existence of things like demons and spirits were not emphasized, they were however acknowledged. Tonight, I felt that calling on the Divine might somehow help to stop whatever-this-was.
In a land with such creatures, how is it possible that the national garb is the kilt?I've had plenty of occasions usually, but not exclusively on calm nights when I lived in Scotland of experiencing the wee devils.

A VERY GOOD QUESTION 'IbisNibs!'In a land with such creatures, how is it possible that the national garb is the kilt?
Now I won't be able to get that image out of my mind! Eye watering.In a land with such creatures, how is it possible that the national garb is the kilt?
I remember many, many years ago reading an IHTM about someone being out in the countryside and hearing this buzzing all around. It might have been referred to as a hummadruz(?)
Hey, first time checking this site in a while. Not much to add other than that it's a great and well written account.
I'm also from NI and know the Donegall Road, Helens Bay and Crawforsburn areas quite well. So that made the account even more interesting and "real". In fact, I lived in Bangor in 2001 (maybe where you were ultimately headed?)
I don't think this is the cause myself, but just to lob in another factor, that MI5's Headquarters / Britain's "Spook" Headquarters in Northern Ireland (Palace Barracks) is located about 5 miles from Helen's Bay. Someone else mentioned a drone... if anywhere in NI had access to such things in 2001, it would've been Palace Barracks. Or some other form of cutting edge technology for surveillance or similar.
Is your avatar to do with the band Watercress, by the way?
Or, could it be the description of the buzzing sounds emanating from inside, or around a property?… experiences where a 'buzzing noise' seems to form part of the phenomena reported - though it's not something I've experienced before or since. The description of the sound as a bee trapped in a jar, or some other container, does indeed square with what I feel that I heard. Interesting, and thanks for that.
I believe there is an inner sound of activity within our brain - an 'internal' electrical buzz or hum at certain times when into quiet deep thought processes, which somehow some people's hearing can sometimes pick up on and then lock on to. I've heard this at odd times.I wonder if the 'buzzing' is an artifact of the brain. It seems to occur at points in which the brain is 'cutting out' - episodes of OBEs, lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, abduction incidents, sightings of UFOs etc. Maybe, just at that point before we slip into unconsciousness, the body can somehow sense the electrical activity in the brain and, on occasion, that can trip us into an altered state?
Yes, this certainly reminds me of times when standing under trees you would hear buzzing yet see very little. Mainly because all the 'buzzers' were up in the canopy of the tree - had a 60ft Willow in my garden when I lived in Scotland, and that used to come alive with flies, bees of a certain kind and it made you realise just how amazing nature can be when sound plays it's sometimes unexpected part.News bulletin! This just in! Mobile buzzing event reported in the Panic: A Genuine Example In The Old Sense Of The Word? thread! Post #151.

The MI5 HQ was built at Holywood Exchange around 2006
Maybe it was that the Bees or Flies were purely after something in particular from leaves (when leaves sweat on the surface), or maybe the pollen itself, and when it was exhausted they depart the scene?Years back, it was a particularly hot summer.
I can't remember, but I think it persisted for more than a day before it went quiet.
Oddly, I was left a bit perturbed by this. Was it an entire colony of insects dying? Were they in distress? What was causing that?
Unanswered questions.
Mayflies only live for one day, and normally only over water.May flies?
Years back, it was a particularly hot summer. Even with only one good ear, I kept hearing a strange sound.
It was a very hot day and there was no noise other than this one.
I went outside to investigate.
The noise seemed to be very loud and emanated from a bush in the front yard of my neighbour across the road. It sounded like a LOT of insects and they sounded like they were in trouble (high-pitched noise rather than low-pitched buzzing). I went over but didn't get too close, didn't see anything at all. Neighbour wasn't in, away on holiday.
