I enjoy reading the stories but lets be honest its tricks of the mind ,
There is no such thing as the super natural or ghost or ghouls, I wonder why humans are afraid of spirits and ghosts  where the whole thing began,
 Imagine looking out the window at your dog and he's running around scared of things that aren't there,  
I myself love the stories so keep them coming  ( again not saying people are lying more so that the mind makes us see and believe things that are not there,)

Given our knowledge on the likes of dark matter, the only thing we know for sure is that we don't know everything.

I didn't see anything offensive re Graces 7's post.
Some questions were asked is all.
No need to get worked up over it Grace so chill out.
I respect other folks views on the subject of 'ghosts' etc.
All I know is what I witnessed for myself over the years and I'm as down to earth as the next person.
Not everything can be logically explained.

Just going through boards at the moment and came across this thread. Going back to the original posters question,
I ask the question, Does your fatherinlaw putting his hand on your thigh, come under this category?

Hey Grace7,

keep posting.

Also, I've found that sometimes banter doesn't translate well over the internet, so I often allow for that. I have in the past had some of my posts em, challenged, shall we say (I was going to say ridiculed, but I think that would be me being too precious altogether). I used to respond, but but learned to let such posts just pass me by.
Also, I wouldn't bother going to the trouble of putting the block or ignore switch on other posters. They might say something nice to me and I'd never know.

So, come back in, switch of the ignores and enjoy the banter!

And, have a nice day.

In order to remain on topic, you can describe my post as something creepy or unnerving :eek::eek::eek:

I'm right and you're wrong but I don't want to talk about it any more.

Breeze, peace, dawn, creatures, wind, frolic, peace...etc

Tired now, bowing out. But remember I'm rigth because I'm bowing out. Over and out.

I'm extremely creeped out with all the posts lately......

Are in Monaghan by any chance?

A group of 6 of us once stayed in a B&B in Monaghan, really old farmhouse.
didn't sleep a wink felt really uncomfortable, like the room was suffocating and we were watched.

The next morning the owner gave us a tour and told us that a child fell out the window and died. The childminder was really upset and killed herself.

Also told us that when they were dong renovations they found bones in the wall and had to get the gardai down. Someone had been bricked up behind the wall and there was constant wailing and banging in that room.

Also told us that her two daughters slept in the first room and one was sick with a cold when they were teenagers (they must be 40 now.) one turned to the other and said thanks for tissues and facing my sheets last night. The other sister said no, she hadn't even woken once.
They reckon it was the ghost of the childminder that killed herself.

I'm glad we only got those stories when leaving, wouldn't have stayed there had I known all that.

Of course it can't be real. Common sense tells you it can't be. But some posts would make you wonder what people are seeing. Dan Muphrys posts are very creepy!

Very true. Island here in Ireland that are 2 miles by 2 miles have cars, vans and tractors. They're feckin hilly!

and yes we checked in at the airstrip. They needed to know we were actually there not tucked up abed.

I can verify that this happens in tiny island airstrips in Ireland too. They feckin weigh you too. And your luggage.

Ive been following it for a long time, always happy to see it jump back to life with new stories (real ones that is, no offence to graces7 but im sure theres a fictional thread somewhere)

_Brian

A “strange” uncle of my wife’s had said for years that if there was any way at all he would come back and let the family know of there was an afterlife.
He’d said this plenty of times.

Time came and he passed away, wake done and he was buried.

Odd thing was a week later he was back !!

Well sort of anyway, there was an error and he’d been buried in the wrong plot. He had to be exhumed, ID verified by family member and reburied immediately.

Plenty think this was his “return”

So, gwan...what are the names of these places which have given you this treasuretrove of ghostly/spiritual experiences?

Jeez lads, it's a thread about the supernatural. Most of us don't believe anyway. Why attack one of the more interesting contributors?

Wha'? "Attacking"?

They are interesting stories and are some are apparently documented and online.

Whats wrong with asking where they happened so we can find out more? Its a shame we have to rely on the postings of one person.

Much better to be able to do our own research for more information.

I think it's that the thread is supposed to be about stuff that is creepy and that genuinely (as thread title says!) happened. You don't necessarily have to believe it's supernatural, but it's meant to be stuff that did occur or that you really perceived to have occurred.

Graces seems to be writing a fiction novel just judging from the style of the posts. Nothing wrong with that, but might be better suited to a fiction writers' thread? Have enjoyed some of them nonetheless!

I had an experience recently and the person woke up dead....

I can't go into it too much but it was at work and he woke then passed....

I think the criticism Grace is receiving on here close to bullying. Just enjoy the stories. There's no need to read too much in to them.

Don't be fooled, she's not so slow. But then again, have to throw in a few buzzwords here and there in this day and age #bullying.

Of course she's not slow. I just don't understand why Graces posts get picked apart but others don't.

I didn't mean people thought she was 'slow', it's a figure of speech meaning she always knows exactly what she's at. Calculating, if you will.

I know what you mean but I don't see that here. I don't want to drag a great thread in to discussing another person but sometimes I read a few posts and think 'that doesn't seem fair'.

Fair enough. I've nothing more to add anyway, hoping the thread gets back on track also. Was flying a good few pages ago.

When I was younger i was fairly accident prone, split my head a few times, nasty falls etc but luckily never broke a bone. Whenever something happened my first thought was to run home for help!

I still have very vivid memories of this incident, the only such incident that ever had a creepy or unnerving aspect to it.

I was about 13 at the time, we were having a waterfight one Summer in the housing estate i grew up in. The housing estate's layout was a number of what we called squares of houses, separated by laneways.

Anyways one of the opposition team had ran through his front door to use the backgarden tap to refill his supersoaker or whatever he had. I came up with a great idea to run around the back laneway, climb up onto his shed (every house had the same shed structure in the back garden about 8ft high with a flat concrete slab roof) and catch him unawares.

The plan worked, i climbed up and began launching water balloons at him - i had a teammate who passed these up to me from the ground. When he noticed where the assault was coming from he began running my way to get me. Upon seeing this i turned to run away, forgetting where I was i fell to the ground.

It hurt like hell, what happened next was exactly as described above i got up to run home. I ran to the end of the lane and turned right, bringing me to an open area that led to the next laneway on my way home. The further i ran the more confused i got. It began to become unrecognisable and very bright. I was squinting my eyes trying to see where i needed to go. I could not make head nor tail of it though - so i decided to run back the way i came to where i had fallen for help.

According to my teammate i never moved. I was out cold on the ground. He was panicking trying to get help. My opposition teammate was getting his Mother to unlock the back gate to try and get to me quicker.

I came around and i was in their nextdoor neighbours garden and my Mam and Dad were there at this point, I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. A split head and split lip with a broken tooth too. The doctors said i was lucky to fall on my front rather than back.

I don't know where I was going, kind of pleased i turned back - even 20 odd years later i can remember it like it was yesterday.

Definitely unnerving. 😦

It's not bullying at all. In any other thread you have to stay on topic. The thread is so good, it would be a shame to see it diluted.

At the same time, I just ignore the posts in the hope the thread will go back to being creepy/unnerving, instead of causing debate about it.
