    I do remember one thing that happened to me.

    after a night out, the taxi left me about a mile and a bit from my house. (I live in the donegal countryside btw) Anyway i was on this tree-lined back road that leads to my house, it was pitch black and was fast walking. A few minutes into my walk i have this real sense of someone breathing on my neck and then touching me i turned around and saw nothing but needless to say i ran the rest of the way home.:(

    The only thing that spooked me out majorly was when I used to go for walks up the country roads in the pitch black during winter as a younger teen. Good exercise, anyways. I didn't use a torch because your eyes usually adjust and you can see fine after a while. About 30 mins into my walk I heard the loudest, most high pitched scream I have ever heard, and it lasted for about 30 seconds. I was terrified and nearly shat myself. Turned out it was fox killing a rabbit :rolleyes: well used to the sound now.


    I have seen many many strange objects in the skies over the past years though, things that made me a little bit spooked but more interested than anything. Things that I cant identify.
    And before anybody says anything to me, I well know what a chinese lantern looks like. Im highly interested in aviation and can tell what a plane/helicopter looks like, I can name the model and type on a whim. Im also interested in Astronomy so I know what most of the things that we can see up there are. There is just no explaining what these things are, my friend has seen many of the same things as I and even more too. of course everyone is going to suggest the most simple things and doubt me though:rolleyes:

    One recent thing I saw that was weird was about March this year, driving home from town one evening with my dad and what appeared to be a bird on fire was flying over the road. :confused: It was only about 10-20 ft in the air and was flying the same speed/size of a bird in flapping pattern so not straight or anything. It came from an empty field area with no houses. Im just going to assume it was a large ember from a chimney fire that traveled a very far distance at fast speed lol.
    I wouldn't put that in the same category as the strange sky object Ive seen though.

    One night myself and my two best friends were walkin along a country road in the middle of the night. Its was a dark night with no moon but it was very starry that night ! We were chatting away walking down the road and next thing we noticed our shadows growing, i looked up and i could see my friends as clear as day because there was this huge bright light in the sky! we stoped walkin and looked at this light! It was silent and it wasnt a plane or search and rescue hellicopter, it was to high ! It was such a bright light, it compleatly lit up the road much brighter than a full moon almost like i giant flood light like you see over pitches , but it was really high up!, we stood staring at it and it then began to fade and disapear and it was suddenly pitch black again!! We all were pretty shocked and all said we had never seen or heard of anything like it before ! Ive never seen anything like it since and we often mention it even now and all agree its still as mysterious as ever !

    Went to a job interview for AIB in the Burlington Hotel one morning. The woman at reception said there were no interviews on and the Garda were doing some work upstairs. As I left some guy walked up to me and said don't mind what she said and he brought me upstairs. Went into the waiting room and there were about ten people sitting there. About one minute later a man entered and called my name. Thought it was strange that I got called first. Went into the interview and got asked really strange questions e.g. am I on medication? Was not asked anything about the AIB job. Left the interview and was given wrong directions to leave the hotel. Never heard anything back from that interview. To this day I don't know why the Garda were checking me out by pretending to interview me for a job in the AIB?

    That was an interview for the Irish secret service. Are you a computer programmer or very techy who is also very fit by any chance?

    I've had a fair few spooky stuff happen to me through the years but this was recent:

    I had a dream the other night that I was in the girlfriend's house and the movie Sexy Beast came on the TV, had no significance to the dream whatsoever. Just had the start of the movie with Ray Winstone sitting in his pool.

    I haven't seen this movie in about 2 years so it appearing in my dream made no sense and had no value to me.

    Until later that day when a mate called over for me to fix his machine and mentions "I watched this movie called Sexy Beast last night, you ever see it?"

    I honestly replied to him with: "Oh yea, that was on TV last night, wasn't it?"

    Him: "No, no. I downloaded it for the craìc when I was looking up gangster movies to watch."

    I don't believe in supernatural or dream-future-telling-stuff but I found that pretty funny and coincidental.

    funny that, I thought your night with your housemate trying to murder you would be up there :confused:

    During the winter of last year, I got a taxi home from town at 4am but I only had 10 euro's and the taxi man through me out on the Rock road.....just where he through me out a guy in a black trench coat around 80 years old just came around the corner as you go up the Mount merrion aveto the N11 So we walked together and chatted.

    I wasn't even that drunk but this guy spoke like a wise man. the stuff he was saying blew my mind..All about materialism...when we got to the top of Mount merrion ....we said good bye to each other I was going Left towards stillorgan , and he began walking right towards UCD ...within 2 seconds I turned around to look (as you do!) behind me to see him walking and the ****er has vashed out of tin air:eek:....I was like he must have fallen over or he is pissing (Not possible with the time frame).

    So I turned around and walked towards his direction .....Not a sign of him anywhere ...I was ****ting it....so I was like I'm going the **** home ...No cars around or anything...I could not run with the snow or ice.....just as I'm about to walk back towards the direction I live...I see a piece of paper on the ground ....there wasnt a thing on the paper and It was dry even though it was in the snow.

    I always wonder did the piece of paper mean you cant bring anything with you when you die?

    Rushing into a portoloo toilet last summer droping an almighty load and realising there was no jacks paper, to make matters worse i was wearing flip flops 'no socks' and i hadnt any boxers under my shorts..........

    Used to go to a neighbours field to get conkers when I was young, I must have been about 7 or 8, very young anyway. The neighbour had a friendly labrador, lovely dog that would be round the roads and would chew the conkers, hang round when we were playing etc (I lived in the country). Where the tree was, nearby there was these old delapitated small buildings, not much bigger than a shed, if you're from a relatively rural area I'm sure you know the kind, hole in the roof, metal sheeting instead of a door, ancient bricks, probably an old cottage from years ago or something.

    This was during the evening, not dark yet or anything. I decided, hey, I'll check this out(I was on my own this day on the bike). So went down to one of the small buildings, pushed the metal sheeting out of the way and entered very slowly. Ivy and grass and that was coming down from the roof all over the place, had to go through light enough lengths of ivy to go through the door.

    Despite it being bright outside, the place was pitch dark, the hole in the roof had been covered by the overgrowth of plants. I walked in slowly, couldn't see anything apart from darkness, the old walls, leaves on the ground, ivy...then I looked over to the right, saw a bright colour and saw a slight glistening thing (IIRC). The neighbours dog, which I had seen the other day, was lying with dead its eyes wide open...don't think I've ever been as scared since, ran outside and went home as fast as I could. Turns out the poor dog had been poisoned and I was the one to find 'em, he must have been rooting around in there a while after taking the poison.

    As another person said, I've had that experience with the cat. Mid dream and the cat jumps off the window sill on to me and scares the crap out of me.

    One final one aswell. Had a bad nightmare, scared me no end, and then I woke up frightened, but relieved to be awake. Sat up, and was like WTF? where the **** am I? Pitch dark (as my bedroom would be at night), but I was not in bed, I was moving my arms about feeling for the familiarity of the wall which my bed is against. Not there. I was sitting, my back against a wall. Got up to where my bedroom door would be I thought, was absolutely ****ting it, didn't know what was happening. Turns out I had a bout of sleepwalking, which I never do, went into another bedroom in the house where someone else was sleeping and went under the blanket across the end of the bed and curled up. When I woke up I was totally disorientated in the dark, hitting off stuff, panicing. Looking back now, would have been scarier for the other person if they had woken up!!

    The most vivid thing thats happened to me is 'the crutches'.

    I was about 10 or 12, and asleep in my bed, which was upstairs and across a hallway. I was woken up in the middle of the night by noises downstairs. The house is quite big, and based on the layout of the house, I would have been the only one able to hear it, the other bedrooms are in a newer part of the house.

    The noises sounded like someone on crutches walking around. It was all wooden floors in the house at the time, and you can't mistake the sound of crutches. Just the sound of them clacking around in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. I was very scared, since I knew noone was awake in the house.

    But, it got worse. All of a sudden, the crutches just....flew up the stairs. I could hear them on the individual steps, but...the speed of them was just not possible. It was two seconds from downstairs to upstairs, and then...ACROSS THE HALLWAY!

    It wasn't even attempting to be quiet, it just...exploded into my room. My door was closed, and remained closed. My door was a noisy creaky yoke, and it never opened. But, this thing, was in my room, and beside my bed.

    Obviously, while the noise and crutches flew up the stairs and into my room, I had thrown myself under the blankets and was trying not to breathe with fear. I could feel something in the room. It clicked quickly around to the opposite side of my bed (the inner side) and...silence. I never looked, I never heard, but something was there, and looking at my bed.

    I have no idea how long it went on for, but as quickly as it came, it flew back around my bed, and 'through' the door, and back downstairs. Silence in the house. I'm 90% sure I never heard it again.

    I've actually had quite a few experiences, none as...definitive as that.


    A simple but scary one is when I came home from school a few years ago with my Dad when he was just finished work as well. House had been empty all day as my sister was at school as well and my mother was off somewhere (can't remember where). Went up to my room, and my DJ rig was on my bed. Two big large heavy speakers just propped up on my bed. I assumed my mother had put them up there while hoovering or something, but she had left before I had that morning! I asked all my family and they all swore they hadn't. I am an atheist, but I keep a crucifix my granny gave me in my bedroom, as whenever I remove it and give it to my mother, something happens. Based on my experiences, I would actually guess that I am 'haunted', even though that my logical mind says that this is bull****.

    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

    Used to be scared as a young lad when sent for a message in town by my mother on a dark night as i had to pass the cemetery. My mother used to tell me " You won't meet anything worse than yourself ".
    I always wondered why she said that !!!

    Church related one:

    There's an old deconsecrated famine church in my neighborhood. Spooky old place with a bit of history to it. One of the builders was meant to have fallen off the roof or hanged himself from it. The cross on the roof throws an eerie shadow over the inside of the church. The grounds contain the tomb of a carriage driver who was burned to death by his employers wastrel son. Its the only grave there. When we were kids a corner of this tomb had been left smashed open and I had pulled a bone out of it as a bet. ( No idea if it was kosher human bone)

    Anyway I was walking home from a friends one night after a skinful and I had'nt been down that way in a long time, so given all new buildings that had sprung up, I decided to cut through the church. I'm walking past the tomb and I noticed there's a very large figure over at the wall behind the tomb just standing there. I walking past eyes glued to convince myself its a shadow but as I walk past this f**ker is remaining stubbornly three dimensional and he's way too big for a normal man. I glance ahead to the exit and I see in the grass beside the path a human torso coming from the ground with its arms raised and a massive pair of leather wings behind it. With that all rational bravery flees and I am off on my toes, I pegged it out onto the safety of main road and I looked back as I fought to catch my breath. I see a sign outside the church about an exhibition of young sculptors works in the grounds. Bastards :mad:

    Ok didn't really happen to me but it gave me a quare dose of the heebie geebies when I heard it.

    A local farmer had just calved a cow late enough one night. He kept the cow in a shed that had once been a house many years ago. More than likely had been around since famine times. Anyway, once he was finished and everything was as it should have been he packed up and went home, just a 2min walk away.

    His young daughter was up and wanted to go down to see the new calf. It was a stormy enough night and kinda late so rather than bring the young girl out he went back down to the shed to take a picture of the calf on his phone.

    It wasn't until he returned to the house and took a closer look at the picture that he saw a strange figure standing in the background. Naturally him and his wife were kinda freaked out by this and neither of them recognised this figure in the picture.

    The following night he was over in the local and showed the picture around to the usual suspects. Most people were skeptical and wouldn't believe that it was real. The farmer was adamant that the picture was the real deal. Finally one aul fella in his usual spot beside the fire took a look and recognised the figure as a young priest that strangely disappeared in the area during the 60s!

    Anytime now I'm walking past that place after a night in the local I can't help but get a dose of the ****s and walk a bit faster!

    *bump in the night*

    Shameless Halloween bump, but with some stories to boot.


    I've had some very simple but spooky experiences reading late at night in my somewhat isolated house which makes many creaking noise.

    Reading The Shining over Christmas a few years ago gave me a few good chills. One of the spookiest was after a simple section where Danny is alone in a hall in the hotel and behind his back a fire hose slips from the wall slightly and onto the ground. He then has to walk back past it and is terrified to do so. It was very scary walking back to bed in the dark after that!


    Another time back when I was ten or eleven I was reading The 4th Armada Ghost Book, an old anthology of horror stories deemed suitable enough for kids.
    Most were unremarkable, even to a kid, but one, "The Three D's" by Ogden Nash really freaked me out.

    I was reading it in bed, with just my older sister in the house as my parents were out.
    The basic story is of a new girl in a boarding school in the countryside who wants to join an elite clique. To do so, she has to slip out her window at midnight and head out into the woods and meadows to an old, ruined, solitary gravestone nearby, reputed to be the grave of a legendary witch.
    She leaves a dummy in her bed in case anyone looks in.
    Terrified, she makes her way to the grave and picks a flower, I think, as proof she did it. She starts hurrying back, but unknown to her, something rustles the leaves and scuttles past her.
    She climbs back in through her window and reaches over to remove the dummy. But as she removes the sheet, a dusty hand reaches out first...
    The end..

    The story itself was terrifying enough, especially with me reading it while in bed.
    But it came shortly after I'd seen a newspaper report about an iceman discovered in the Alps, who I was terrified of finding in my bed every night for some reason.
    Now I was afraid of finding him or a dusty, shrivelled little old witch.


    Finally, one night, also as a kid, reading some kids' novel about vikings pretty late at night, I heard what could only be described as the sound of a baby in great distress coming through my open window. This went on for a couple of minutes and left me frozen in terror but also wondering if I should go do something.
    After a bit, the sound modulated enough for me to realise that it was a cat crying! I'd never heard it before, and the first time is terrifying!

    So the moral of the story, kids, is never read books!

    My brothers story but I'm taking it for this occasion.
    About 20 years ago was brother was being droped to the next town to my grand mothers by my mother.
    On the way my brother saw his mate thumbing in the opposite direction, thought nothing of it, tried to salute him but your man never saw him or saluted back so no big deal.
    He mentioned to my mother at this stage who the guy thumbing was.
    Much later that evening they arrived home and my dad broke the news to him that his friend had been killed. He was devastated of course especially as he had only seen him earlier thumbing. My mother confirmed he had mentioned your mans name when they past earlier.
    My dad was shocked, he had been killed the day before canoeing in lough derg or somewhere.
    My brother swears to this day that he saw your man. He couldn't have known he was already dead and my mother backs him to the hilt on it. Both of them still get freaked out majorly.
    Too freaky for me to ignore

    A few of us had a sleepover when we were about 11 or 12. We all slept in the living room, downstairs, and were having a great time until we started playing the ouija board.

    It was all kind of creepy. Much worse when we heard loud, rapid footsteps down the stairs. Just down, not back up. Eeeek.

    Weird. I used to live in Elm Park. What part of the estate is this? I've often heard rumours about Elm Park being haunted.

    Really, I never heard anything and I lived there for 3 years.... Would you know anymore about it, would love to hear more!

    Heard that the White House and the "Castle" near Thomond are supposed to be haunted, some friends swore they saw something or knew someone who saw something (or something!)

    Myself and 2 of my friends were in the main building very late at night (like 2am) once and we saw something in the top floor of C Block. We all dismissed it as sleep deprivation tho, and it became a bit of joke. It was a girl coming directly across us as we were coming out of a lift, but she disappeared, thought it was my imagination until my friend looked at me and said, "Did you see that?!"

    Have had two other similar experiences in Scotland and Australia but never anything as concrete as some posters here (the hitching one, Jesus!)

    Fishooks, that is beyond creepy, sounds like you came across a satanic cult or something!!

    Weird. I used to live in Elm Park. What part of the estate is this? I've often heard rumours about Elm Park being haunted.

    Really, I never heard anything and I lived there for 3 years.... Would you know anymore about it, would love to hear more!

    Heard that the White House and the "Castle" near Thomond are supposed to be haunted, some friends swore they saw something or knew someone who saw something (or something!)

    Myself and 2 of my friends were in the main building very late at night (like 2am) once and we saw something in the top floor of C Block.

    It was odd to say the least!

    Safe to say I won't be living in Elm Park for 4th year!

    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

    You're an idiot

    I think there's a logical explanation for most stories, and most just get exaggerated. They're still fun though.

    Not my story, but a friend and old housemate (who posts on here, alright Ray ;)) told me of the time his grandmother died when he was younger. He came home from school the day after she died and when he walked into the kitchen, there, sitting at the table was who he thought was his grandmother. It turned out it was her sister who was the spitting image of her, and my friend had never met her in his life because she had lived in England since she was young. He said he nearly got a heart attack.

    When me and the lads were in our teens we got the notion of over night fishing/drinking in St.Mullins. When we got there we went straight to the pub and sampled a few local pints. Before we new it, it was closing time and we had no were to stay over nigh as we had not booked any were.

    We decided to head down to the river any way and we stumbled across a large disused Boat. One of the lads (Bob) was first to climb up on the boat in the pitch black and search for some were to sleep. As we wondered through the darkness Bob screemed like a child and ran over us, jumped out of the boat and landed on a rock and two of the lads fishing rods, nearly broke his back. Bob said he was groped buy some thing!!! Little did he know one of the lads sneaked on to the boat before us all and hid in a cupbard ha ha joke was on him though cause it was his fishing rod that bob landed on.

    To This day Bob thinks he was gropped by casper ha ha

    This is an old thread, and theres a more active one along the same lines that I started a while back (oops, didnt see this one). This sounds like a creepypasta to me, theres a lot which follow the same format and they tend to get repasted a lot.
