What is the strangest or unexplained experience that you have ever had?

Question

Have you ever seen a ghost, UFO, had a coincidence that was just too weird, are you psychic or a medium? What is the strangest ever experience that you have had?

I am writing a book on these subjects and would like your input!

Answer 1

I think I could be here ALL day, if I wrote even a fraction of the strange paranormal type experiences I've had in my life.

I've seen my dead Grandmother, in the hospital corridor, whilst visiting my sick, but not too sick Grandad, I knew it would be the last time I would see him, & told my Dad this on the way home, he died soon after, his autopsy later showed he had undiagnosed Cancer.

I saw my Uncle at his own funeral, people where filing past the grave, & dropping a handfull of earth or flower onto his coffin, he was standing watching & smiling, I couldn't put my flower in his grave, it all felt too weird, & I appeared to catch his eye, he laughed, & seemed to know I could see him.

As a child, I lived in an old house in Honiton in Devon, in which the spare bedroom, always sent goosebumps though us all, & my pet cat would freak, if you ever tried to take her in there.
................I remember very clearly, lying in my bed, not been able to sleep, & my attention was drawn to the foot of the bed, what seemed to be something like pale grey smoke, was begining to form a shape, a small boy of about 6 or 7, in what I now know to be an old type of school uniform, perhaps pre-war, short suit type pants with turn-ups, matching boxed jacket with narrow lapell. & a small segmented peaked cap............. as the shape took more solid form, the room became colder & colder, & my gaze was drawn to the boys face, he was expressionless, & despite the detail on his clothing becoming very clear, like some old black & white photograph...his eyes remained as bottomless holes........
I was mesmerised, & petrified, but finally after what seemed like an age, I managed to find my scream, & boy did I scream........... my Mother came running upstairs, & the figure seemed to fade into nothing in an instant....... My mother insisted I was having nightmares, & would hear no more talk of the "ghost boy", so he was never mentioned again.......
until one day many years later, & living in a different house, when I was much older, talk turned to Ghost stories, & I mentioned my "ghost boy" experience.....my Mother glared at me, & I thought she was going to flip out,....
but instead, she told her side of the same story..... when she came to see why I was screaming... she apparently saw the exact same figure leave my bedroom & walk into the spare bedroom....she had had to walk past him to reach me in my bedroom, & said it was the most frightening experience of her life, but she knew she had to get to me & see I was okay, she explained that walking past this boy figure, was the coldest she had ever felt, & that she had hated living in that Honiton house, as she always felt she was being followed, & things were forever going missing & turning up in strange places.


Perhaps the strangest, defies any logigal or even illogical explaination, is when at about 6 years old, on Hallowe'en,...... Myself & our neighbours boy, both having carved Hallowe'en Turnip Lanterns, with glowing faces, were sitting on the stairs going up to the next level of the house, with the front door open, facing out into the back yard, & looking out over the coal shed & outside toilet (think typical North East, terrace of the 1960s)
Suspended in mid air, above the coal shed, & glowing VERY clearly, was the reflection of the face of MY lantern,.......yet we BOTH had lanterns, so seeing only one reflection made no sense at all....as a 6 year old, I accepted this as fun, & we laughed, & my friend tried all sorts of ways to get his to glow in the air too, but nothing doing, its only as an adult, that I look back & realise, just how very odd this was.

I've seen UFOS on a few occasions, most recent beein 2000, in Brighton, whilst walking home with my husband......we found out recently that this was also filmed by a police helicopter, & is quite a famous phenomena.

I also whilst been very sick as an 8 year old, believe I was visited by an Angel, a very tall figure in glowing white robes, that answered my prayers for my stomach pains to stop, & filled my bedroom, with the most amazing feeling of peace, & soft glowing light.

Theres many many more,...... but I think the scariest, was whilst living in London in the 80s & a knife throwing itself across the room, & bouncing violently of the facing wall, it would of hit me, had I not at that same moment bent down to pick something off the floor....that one REALLY freaked me out,..despite my thinking I'd got used to this sort of stuff by then,

Answer 2

On a winter evening, I was in my bedroom and the chill moved me to take my reading lamp and book over to the radiator which was fixed to the wall. I sat on the floor with my back leaning against the warm panel and set the lamp on a chest of drawers by my side.

A few minutes later, a movement caught my attention and I looked up from the book to see the shadow of an old woman rise from a chair behind my bed (where there was no chair) then walk across the room to the fireplace. She reached to the mantelpiece and seemed to pick something up, then turned, went back to the chair and sat down again.

I could see the shadow. I could see the light. I should have been able to see what should have been between the light and the wall to make the shadow, but there was never anything there and nothing on the mantelpiece had actually moved.

It was a one time thing. It never happened again in that room or any other room of the house, as far as I know. There were no stories or rumours about previous owners or occupiers and what she did was completely innocuous and insignificant. It wasn't sinister, just strange to see.

Answer 3

The strangest experience I've ever had is when I was a teenager we were travelling home from my grandma's house and about to turn right at a junction with traffic lights. We were over the line so could turn when the traffic on the other side had stopped. My mum was just about to turn when I told her to stop and that 5 cars would jump the red light. Sure enough, 5 cars ran straight through the red light. I've never been able to explain how I knew, I just did. I'd never done anything like that before or since.

Answer 4

Some time ago I went with a friend to Maiden Castle near Dorchester - it is a large earthworks with deep defensive ditches between banks that curve round the outside of the mound. She had grown up near Dorchester and knew it well. I wandered along the path between the embankments and was separated from her by the curve of the hill. For a while I was on my own then I came round a curve and saw a small girl wearing shorts with brown hair in pigtails who looked familiar. I paused and looked at her. She was standing looking at the bank in front of her, not doing anything - she didn't see me. I glanced round to see if anyone else was there - I couldn't hear any sound of other people. When I looked back, she wasn't there. Some time later I found an old photograph album which caused me to ask questions of my mother. My parents had stopped there with my sister and myself when I was about 6 or 7 years old, on our way west to stay for a couple of days at Bath. The little girl I had seen was me as a child. The clothes were the same in an old photograph - that was why she'd looked familiar, but her face was the other way round - of course, I'd only ever seen a mirror image of myself before.

Answer 5

I work in a castle and one afternoon at about 4pm I was bringing in a board that explains the opening times and such.
I was placing the board inside the chapel where it is stored when a strange shadow walked up the middle of the room, passed within 2 feet of me and passed through a solid oak door.
It was about 3 1/2 or 4 feet high and was 3d that is it had a rough human shape but no features but strangely I wasn't frightened just curious.

Answer 6

There are so many of them. I remember going on a ride in a small spacecraft when I was younger. We went to the Moon and at least two underwater bases and another one. Once in awhile when I was sick or something wasn't right they would switch bodies with me.One of them was an artificial body which really scared me because I wasn't breathing but I could talk and move around. There are so many things we don't realize that are part of the living or human experience. The sun on our faces and the wind that makes our skin have goose bumps,the smells of a spring or a new day after a thunderstorm etc. Many of these things it seems we no longer have when we are in a spiritual form except for the feeling of cold more often but, usually energetic or excited in the beginning it seems.. I guess those who have passed will eventually get used to it though. Supposedly these are the ones who try to contact us someway. If you know someone close to you who has passed try using some word cards and number cards. Some use the Tarot cards which have their own meanings too. The person or medium will get impressions of right or wrong and depending how in tune they are with communicating with their so-called spirit guide or friend(s) or relatives. There a many psychic detective type shows and some which call this remote viewing but, whatever.

Answer 7

I recently edited a short film of a metal band. I noticed that the waveform monitor of the lead singer made an image that looked like a boar's head with ram's horns, kind of like images I've seen before of the devil. Most people's image will look like a bunch of scattered dots. A day after I noticed this, I tried to transfer all of the files over to a large hard drive. All files made the transfer, except the singer's interview. When I checked the drive to see how much space was remaining, I noticed that there were sixhundred sixty-six point six minutes remaining. When I tried to import the footage again, I noticed that the timecode on the tape read six hours, six minutes, and six seconds. This blew my mind. I believe it is all coincidence, but it was very strange.

Answer 8

Only once.
I was in bed reading and looked up briefly and saw a young man standing casually by the window with his arms crossed and smiling at me, I wasn't frightened and smiled back. I looked down to put my book away and when I looked up, he was no longer there. A very strong feeling of calm washed over me.
The following day a friend who is very spiritual (not religious) called to see me and felt a wonderful sense of peace and rest in my home.
Then I remembered that 16 years previous I had a miscarriage on that same date hmmmmmmm.......

Answer 9

Once when I was on an island with friends for holidays, we were smoking grass after dinner, I asked the girl whose house we were in did the police ever visit that island she said no, why? and I didn't know why, then I asked if they did visit her house would they be looking for grass, she said no of course not and the group all started getting a bit paranoid with my questions. Then I saw a police car drive by there was a road on to the Island, I said a police car just drove by at which point the grass was put away, and window opened I then announced that they were looking for me, no one knew what to think, I answered the door and they asked to speak to My name, I asked them had my granny died and they said I think you should phone home, first of all my granny was not sick, second there was no phone on island. I think my granny came to me saw me smoking and decided to warn me that the police were on their way because we were prepared we didn't panic on seeing them its not my strangest experience the others were more remarkable but i can explain them

Answer 10

The other night I had a dream in which I broke my arm, then i suddenly woke up with the most excruciating pain in the exact place that i dreamed was broken. The pain was so bad i nearly screamed, I had tears pouring down my face. It lasted about ten minutes and then all of the pain suddenly went away. So I guess I can physically feel what happens in my dreams.

Answer 11
