Spookiest experience of your life

John Doe1

Seeing as all hallows eve is coming have you had any spooky or unexplainable experiences. I dont have any really but getting sleep paralysis and not knowing what it was was an eerie experience.

Was walking home alone from college in Limerick one night after playing a late night poker game in red raisins. My home was a mile outside the college (Briarfield for Limerick peeps)

It was about 4am and very foggy and cold

I was going to take the usual short cut through Elm Park (housing estate across from UL) when I noticed a woman standing 100 yards ahead of me in a white dressing gown. Her back was to me and she was staring further up the estate to a group of hooded individuals all wearing black under a tree.

She stood still for a second (I was rooted to the spot with fear at this stage) until she took off running toward the hooded group screaming.

When she reached them one of the hooded men put his hands on her shoulder and she immeaditaly turned around to face down in my direction

They all then started slowly marching down towards me in tandem

Needless to say I ****ing bolted around by the lodge to get home

Had to wake everyone up when I got home I was so frightened

getting the creeps even typing this

Although if they scared someone so much to make them run down the road they'd be winners in my book!

Wonder if Dom Joly was in the area.

Seriously though, always wonder about stories like that If that happened to me my head would be wrecked for the rest of my life wondering wtf it was.

I'd love to think I hang around long enough to actually confirm what I was seeing.

Would like to think I could at least even take out my camera phone

Spookiest I've heard is the one about yer man who figures that his friends are in trouble, goes off to try find them, does so, sure enough, they're in deep sh!t (one of them is completely f.uc.ked up) with some gang or other, yer man ends up in a showdown with the head of the gang, major fight follows, yer man loses a HAND!!
There's more! It turns out the head of the gang is actually yer man's father... spoooky.

The King of Moo

Nothing overly scary, though I kind of wish I had a really spooky experience sometimes (like Fishooks12's nightmarish one! :eek:).

I got the post-horror-film-on-my-own-at-night heebie jeebies a lot as a young 'un.

I think I mentioned these in another thread, but here goes anyway:


After watching The Ring (proper scary Japanese version) a few years ago I had a very vivid and realistic dream in which I watched the video and a week seemed to pass by in real time as I frantically tried to find a way to break the curse. In the last few minutes of the final day of the week, as I was completely desperate and despairing...

...I woke up, and for about a minute I was convinced that I was really going to imminently die a horrific death. Not a nice feeling .


Sillier but scarier in a shocking sense was the time I was staying up very late in my room in the dark looking at famous ghost pictures on my laptop (I don't strictly believe in ghosts but I still love the spookiness of ghost stories).

It was about 3am and I'd forgotten that the cat had come into the room hours before, as she'd been sleeping silently on the bed behind me.

So when she suddenly jumped on my shoulder, digging her claws into me, I simultaneously jumped (knocking my laptop to the ground, which it survived) and gave a scream/shout of terror.

It took me a few seconds to realise that it was the cat, and I left my light on after that .

Been lost in the woods off a lake in Galway as it was approaching dark and not knowing the way back was pretty **** scary at the time... Blair Witch was still a vivid memory.

I don't quite know what to make of this. The image of that gives me the heebee jeebees.

I arrived late at night at a beach place in India on my own after a long train journey. Was absolutely knackered and just wanted somewhere to kip, but it was pitch black on the beach and everything was closed.

I saw a light on in one gaff on the beach and walked up hoping someone was up and could give me a place to crash. I knocked on the door, but got no answer so I slowly opened the door. The room was empty except for a long black item that was sitting on the table in the middle of the room. I couldn't really make out what it was so I stepped into the room to get a better look. Suddenly it dawned on my, it was an open coffin and I am staring at a dead body with a crucifix around his neck. I got the shock of my life and legged it out of there; not what I was expecting at all. I waited on the beach till dawn, sleep wasn't that important anymore.

Was in work yesterday busy enough, look up and theres a wailing hag coming towards me. Really started to freak out, thought it was the banshee or at least one of the witches from Macbeth
Long story short turns out it was Dana looking for votes.

Beside the light switch in the landing is always creepy for some reason, don't know why.
Was sitting in bed one night (i can see the landing from there) the dog ran out and stood barking at the light switch then it turned on and off again, then the dog ran back into my room crying.

A story about my Grandad years and years ago.

He was working late and had to walk home,like any other night. He lived out in the country, a quiet area.

Anyway, walking along the main road at about 1 am he sees a white figure on the ditch up ahead and freaks out. It was at a spot where a guy was knocked down weeks previous and killed.

He stops and still can't make out what this is, and if he is to get home he has to walk right past it, or go back and take the back road home adding on another 30 minutes to his journey.

He says fuck it I'll man up and keep going.

So he makes his way slowly towards the figure, still none the wiser at what it is, but its still up on the ditch.

Only when he gets a few feet from it he realises its a goat eating a hedge.:pac:

If he turned around and went the long way home he would have told everyone it was the ghost of the man knocked down, instead he just had to tell the farmer who's goat it was that it was loose!

I’ve recently been on a clinical placement in a mental health hospital in Maryland in the US. The hospital dates back to the late 1800s it is made up of scores of buildings on a huge campus: twice to three times the size of St.Stephens Green. Many of the buildings are disused and dilapidated surrounded by overgrown grass, weeds, ivy, trees etc. The dilapidated buildings are very impressive red brick with great features and lower windows and doors are boarded up. The hospital once held 4000 mentally ill patients, now its about 600 after deinstitutionalisation etc.

I was staying in the employees dorm on the campus and felt safe around the place. After a night out on the beer I went up to an area on my own where there is about 20 derelict buildings. Its pitch black but im not really a believer of the paranormal etc. and was quite drunk and considering the history of the place I thought it’d be fun and spooky. So I had a wander around right through for a while and really enjoyed it.

The following weekend after the pub I decided I would do it again but this time borrowed a camera off my intern buddy to capture the spookiness. Again I was on my own, it was colder and darker and I was less drunk and a little bit more scared and cautious.

It was about 2am & so dark i needed to stand so close to the buildings to get the flash to light up the picture.. anyway i was walking on a 4 direction open walled roofed path that linked 4 huge buildings.. I was nearing the intersection looking forward into the darkness. This is the best part of the whole place and my camera stopped working when I got onto the 4 way path. All of a sudden as im walking forward into the pitch darkness there is this loud bang sound; like if you pushed over a table, the sound came from straight ahead somewhere in the pitch black, i stopped dead in my tracks and starred forward with my heart beating... my bottle of beer became my weapon of defence as i switched the way i held it in my hand.. i waited to hear further sounds to get more information..i heard nothing and after about 15 seconds i decided to get the hell out of there... i turned and ran, turning to look back to see if i was being followed every few seconds... i got to a lit up part within 20 or 30 seconds and started walking again..i decided to give up..it was too freaky..and the camera i had borrowed had died..then all of a sudden..a flash came from the direction i had ran away from..it was ****in weird..i thought ‘was that a camera or what is going on, did someone just take a picture of me from the darkness?’.. im not entirely sure what happened up there that night but i didnt going up there again... i am trying to upload some of the pics i got

These are some of the best photos, this is as bright as it got with the flash..when the flash was gone it was pitch dark again as you can imagine:

I'm definitely not going to sleep tonight!

Maybe the bang was from someone doing the same thing as you, and getting startled when they heard you and knocking something by accident. The flash was them taking a picture of the mysterious running ghost!

Thats one odd thing to be doing at that time of night.

Local-womanizer

Oh,one that happened me and a few mates.

We were standing about chatting one night as teenagers do outside a house on my road that was vacant and had been for years. But it was never run down.

We were on the lane beside it chatting when we heard someone walking from the back of the house on the grass.

None of us could see anything despite all of us hearing the footsteps, so we did the manly thing and ran off!

Had a few freaky dreams involving that same house too. One was being chased by something from it, but I could not see this thing. Every house I ran into to get help was empty and I just kept getting chased.

very true, but that was kind of the point of it..not being afraid of one of the spookiest place you can think of i.e. an old disused mental hospital in the middle of the night.. great opportunity to get photos and experience something unusual. I had been living and working in the hospital for about 6 weeks at that stage and was very comfortable with the place and had overcome the stigma notion about the mentally ill...(disclaimer: i also was made aware of the * craziness* of psychotic illness) but i felt brave, im not a believer of anything paranormal or religious or spiritual and didnt think there would be anyone else up there at that hour of the night..plus my residence building was only 5-10 mins away and i had been up there in the day time a few weeks before with some of the other interns... i cant say what caused the noise or the flash but it was one of the spookiest moments of my adult life.. im glad i have a story to tell tho..

A good 10 years ago or so me my mother,brother and sister were coming home from our aunties it was at least 2am and one of the foggiest nights i can remember.

Anyway theres this spooky old farm house across the road from us with massive gates and a big drive-way.

We were driving past it and i saw this massive old man standing facing the wall,he was wearing a farmers hat and it looked like he was holding a brown paper bag.I said it to them and they saw nothing.

I got mam to drive down the road and turn then right past our house this huge huge man was walking down the middle of the road in the dirction of the car.Bearing in mind the fog that night we were absaloutly terriefied.

So theres a guard that lives beside us so we went into him incase the man was in danger or drunk walking the roads.He was inside his house with another neighbour so they took a spin down the road and saw nothing.

Still spooks me this and when i walk the road,it makes it even worse that its right outside our house..Also last two times i tried to post this it said i was logged out..:eek::eek:
