Creepy Things That Have Happened to You

[Girl_On_Fire]

Something weird happened just tonight. It was actually kind of incredible. My grandfather passed away in 2005. My 4-year-old cousin was born in late 2008. We've been convinced since he was old enough to talk that he's the reincarnation of our grandfather. Our uncle passed away in 2003 and due to health complications, he had jaundice. Tonight, we were all just sitting around talking about family members in general and out of absolutely nowhere, my 4-year-old cousin said, "Uncle *** was the one that was yellow." My aunt, cousin, and eye all got wide-eyed and chilled at once. There's no way that child could have known what our uncle had suffered from. Just more proof that the little one has been here before.

My friend has been telling me for a few years that I have a ghost in my house and there were small things that might be explained as being ghostly, but nothing really concrete that I've seen or heard.
My daughter likes to skype with her friends and one night she was talking with a guy friend around 3am. It was the holidays. He told her "don't turn around but there's a girl sitting right behind you". She said she wasn't scared and never turned around but she knew he wasn't joking. Later that night she went to the kitchen to get something to drink and he asked who she was talking to at this time of night. She said she wasn't talking to anyone. He said that he heard a girl laughing.

Another night I came home from working overtime on afternoon shift (2 am) and heard my daughter's tv on in her room. I was miffed because I hate it when she leaves the tv going all night. I put my things down in the kitchen and walked back to her room. The talking had stopped so I assumed that she heard me and turned it off. When I went back to the kitchen, I could hear talking again and realized...that bum! she's on the phone! So I went back to her room and opened her door and told her to get off the phone. She said she wasn't on the phone. I said "Emily, get off the phone. I can hear you talking" She said "Mom, I'm not on the phone! I was sleeping. I have school in the morning". Well, that was proof enough for me.

I love this thread! It may be my favourite on the site. I do admit though, if I'm on BFP late at night, I'm careful about what I read here. LoL =)

More please!

Many years ago while taking my dog to her favorite park, I saw a man wearing heavy clothing, it was too warm for dressing that way, and a felt hat like Indiana Jones, walk into a tree and not come out the other side... I have a witness besides me.

Mucho creepy.

I used to tell myself it was Carlos Casteneda.

I was 13 or 14 when this happened and I was living on Oahu.
I was home alone one Saturday afternoon watching the telly.
I started to hear my mother's music boxes go off in the other room for no reason. So, I thought this is strange so I got up and had a look.
They stopped right before I got to them. A few months passed and it happen again to me. This never happened to anyone else in my family.
I know there are plenty of ghosts and other weird things that live on
Oahu. So, it all kinda of made sense in a way.

I didn't expect to be writing anything about our current house..it's probably under 20 years old....but

Today...I was alone in the house... I was working at the stove, cleaning the stove top....I had the hall light on (to my immediate left) and while I was standing there, the light got interrupted as if someone had walked by. It was very distinct and it took me about 3 seconds to stop what I was doing and realize that since no one was home, that should NOT happen....

Then, later I was getting ready to go to the store. I was looking everywhere for my keys. I figured I left them in the hatch when I was getting stuff in. I went out and put the dogs in the car and looked. Nada. Went in and did a sweep of the entire house. Still nothing. I went back outside to the car, and was about to check all over it when I suddenly heard the back door close. I froze...knowing I was entirely alone in the house...and then decided to go look There was no one there except the cat, but in going in the back yard I found my keys...laying where I had put them down near the garden when I was pulling weeds after I got home from the gym....

Oh, I've had that happen. It's so creepy because it takes you second to realize what just happened and the chill comes over you slowly. I've had interrupted sound too where it feels like someone is walking by and they're not. Weird.

Tonight was one of my regular nights to play pool,all night it just felt like I was seeing the place in both in past time as well as real time but only in glimps and flashes out of the corner of my eye.Other folks said the place just felt off center for me it was liek standing at a cross roads seeing both sides.Not creepy just strange.

A year ago, 2011, the day after Thanksgiving....my mother had a terrible stomach ache. The next morning, it was so bad that I had to have her rushed to the ER.

After a couple weeks of this test and that test and various treatments....they did surgery......on Friday, Dec. 9th. When the surgeon opened her up, all he could see was cancer growth......both ovarian and intestional cancer. The next day we met to go up and tell our mom the results of surgery. She was bound and determined not to ruin any of our holidays and wanted to see her grandkids and great-grandchild open their gifts. Christmas was and still is my families favorite time of the year. Oncologist said that with treatment, she could live 1 - 1 1/2 years...without, perhaps 6 weeks. My mother was very short.....very Italian...very fiesty...very bossy.....and very stubborn...and refused any chemo treatment.

A few days later, she told me that all she wanted to do was to go home for the holidays...she was living with me at the time...so that Friday, 12/16, I had her brought home. For the next week I ran around getting her gifts purchased and wrapped...food bought...house decorated...and care for her, along with my brother and occassional home health care nurse (not overly impressed with them). Then on Friday afternoon....she told me she was done. I called hospice and they came over to do the paperwork and medicines...absolutely wonderful team...loved, loved, loved, them. In the middle of the night, my mom told me she was having terrible dreams...when she woke up a couple hours later...she told me it wouldn't be long. I called everyone and she passed that evening...Christmas Eve.

Everyone told me not to worry about dinner the next morning....but I got up early..."talked" with mom and made everything...Prime Rib Roast...Honey Ham...etc, etc. (my mother liked that Christmas song...about the boy who buys his mom red shoes on Christmas so she has them before she dies......my mom always told us if we ever bought her red shoes for Christmas...she would kick us out.....I know, it was my house...but she would still kick us out.....lol). So, we sit down to eat...do a Christmas toast...and I get up to go put the radio on...sure enough, what immediately starts from the beginning? It is that song. Made my brother start misting.

After dinner, we went into the media room to have the kids open gifts....my niece was taking photos of her daughter, in the dress that great-grammy bought her...it was such a fun and lively Christmas. Everyone was laughing and we just felt the spirit all through us. There was so, so much laughter and energy that night.

(my mothers favorite movie is the Twilight Series, her favorite color is purple, and her favorite flower is lilacs)

The next morning one of my brothers and I went to the funeral home. When we walked into the room full of urns, I immediately looked at a real nice purple one with silver etchings, up on a shelf....I pointed it out to my brother...who started misting again. He told me to come over and look at the name of it....."Twilight Lilac"......sold...we were done in 5 minutes.

When we got back to my house, my niece was there with her dad (other brother)...excited about the photos from the night before. In reviewing them....there was an orb in each of the photos...in different spots in each photo....around mom's grand-children/great-grandchild. She hadn't missed the holidays afterall. She was there from helping me cook to picking out what urn she wanted....I mentioned she was kinda bossy like that

A couple weeks later, I had her Celebration of Life in my backyard, around the pool. (She had written instructions for me. titled "My Last Chapter"..again...bossy Italian). I ordered chairs, special ordered lilacs, linens, etc. I cooked Italian foods and desserts for 125 people and we had 108 show up....

In reviewing photos of the celebration later on....there was an orb in the kitchen with me...as well as over my uncle in another photo (her favorite brother-in-law)...as well as next to her great-grandchild and my other nieces dogs.

Creepy...maybe...Wierd....yes...but I am very peaceful knowing that she is still here (telling us what to do...sigh)....and that she is also now with my dad (her Edward......for those Twilight fans).

I also come from an Italian family, where my father ruled the kitchen, and loved to cook. I was no longer living at home when he died suddenly, and stopped by the house to pick something up. He was cooking dinner with the new stove he just bought, and asked me if I wanted something to eat. I was in a hurry and left, not knowing he would be gone by the next morning, and that would be the last time I would see him. The day after, around three in the morning, I was sitting alone in the kitchen thinking about him, and how I should'nt have left so fast, when suddenly I heard the click click click of the new electronic stove turning on, and then I heard the whoosh of the oven fire up! I was in my twenties, but when I heard that, I was so freaked out, that I flew out of the chair and ran to the bedroom where my mom was sleeping, and crawled in bed with her lol.

I was looking for this thread last night! Its bump worthy for all the people that have joined lately to share their stories

Ok, I got stuff....

18 years ago, I purchased a home that (I was told) was an old convent. After I closed on the house, I went there (obviously) and checked everything out. I found an old Jesus picture and crucifix in the attic (typical) but in the basement, there was a old root cellar that was very creepy. In order to get to the root cellar you had to go through a crawl space (the basement was separated into two sections by that crawl space), Near the root cellar was - true story - a bleeding sink. It seems that in the 1800's that convent was a funeral parlor. In that parlor they prepared and showed the bodies. I am still not sure why the crawl space separated that area.

Anyway, that place was a 3 family home. I rented the place next door to a younger couple and the place upstairs to a friend of mine. One morning, I was in my kitchen drinking my morning coffee and the night prior had been weird because my TV would not stay on. I would turn the TV on and it would shut off a few minutes later. The ladies next door came over. One of the ladies asked if someone had pounded on my door in the middle of the night. I had told her no and that's when both of them told me that they were woken up multiple times by someone pounding on the door.

Right after that, my friend came downstairs and told us ( out of the blue) that her TV would not shut off that night. She said that she was woken up many times with the TV on and had turned the TV off but it wouldn't stay off.

That house was creepy. My kids, my prior tenants.... anyone who lived there would tell you it was creepy and haunted.

today something odd happened...not so much creepy....

I was parked downtown waiting for my client who was at an appointment....

It was a nice day and lots of people were walking around downtown Northampton. I saw this one couple coming along and they were pausing here and there window shopping. In the reflection of one of those old doors....ummm the metal thing at the bottom? Kick plate maybe? I saw a little black and white dog with them. The dog was blocked from my actual view by a row of newspaper vending machines.. I was looking forward to the couple passing by the machines so I could get a better look at the dog...but...when they passed by...they had no dog...and there was no one else with a dog like that either....most peculiar.....

Not creepy or weird or anything remotely fun, other than being something coincidental, but we have a drop box at work where people can drop their payments or any documentation for their files if the office is not open.

This morning, when I cracked open the box, there were two checks inside. Two completely separate customers who, as far as I know, have absolutely nothing in common and do not know one another, except each of their checks was the same number: 1499.

So that was my 'okay, that was fun, Universe' moment today.
