Creepy unsolved/paranormal/strange events thread

I can remember this like yesterday. Ok when I was 8 years old... I just got up from sleep. I was looking outside my window... As we live on the side of a hill looking down onto a valley... I saw something like a UFO aka thin pencil/cylinder type of thing moving... When I started to freakout, it just zipped and went up into space. I started to yell and call my Mother over. She was like what happened. I was like I just saw a UFO. My Mother was like sure you did to me when I was 8 years old. To this day I believe what saw was UFO.

I'll share more stories later...
 
The strangest, creepiest thing happened to me the other day.

I got onto a bus, paid and walked up the steps to the top deck. It was empty apart from an old man sitting at the back right. I sat around the middle left of the top deck, I kept aware of this man throughout the journey but never looked back again. A couple came up and sat a few seats in front of me, and I made a mental note that there was four people including me. The couple got off a few bus stops later. Finally the bus had reached my stop, I pressed the bell and prceeded to get off, before I walked down I looked back and there was no one on the top deck apart from me.

I did not see this man get off. I was sitting in a position where I could see everyone going down the steps or coming up. I freaked out and quickly got off at my stop. I did not know what to think and scurried home.

How do I explain this GAF? Was I seeing things? Was it a ghost?

I had a 'lovely' dream the other night that kinda freaked me out. And luckily for me I am really good at remembering my dreams when I wake up...

So the setting is on a dirt road, with a bit of grass and a tree. The whole set up kinda looks like this:

http://i.imgur.com/QpOht.jpg

I'm sitting in what looks like a cul-de-sac at the end of this road only I am surrounded by a living room outside. In front of me is an old television, the huge ones that were made to look like furniture with the fake plastic wood around them that my family had when I was a kid. I floor standing light to the left of it and then the dirt road which proceeds down a ways from where I am sitting. Behind me is a brown couch and matching La-Z-boy type of recliner. Sitting on the couch is my wife, and in the recliner is my mother. This stuff is all just sitting out on the ground. It's like being in a house only without walls.

Now here is where it gets weird.

On the ground with me are two completely naked, hairless, 'beings'. One is about four foot tall and grayish in color and the other is more baby like, shorter, and with a pinkish hue to it. Both looked male however they had no genitals and no clothing. Oh and let me mention that they smell....They smell like shit, literally, they have a garbage like odor wafting off of them. The gray one has it's hand on my shoulder staring at me while the other is a few feet away just kind of pacing around and being active with itself. They didn't have the typical huge black eyes that most people associate with these types of things, instead they looked more human like but larger. Best way to describe them overall would be that they reminded me of the little ones that carry Richard Dreyfuss into the mothership at the end of Close Encounters.

So I am sitting there a few minutes when I hear my mother say "Oh, the little one is missing an eye". So sure enough I look over and one of its eye sockets looks cauterized.

I then turn to look at her, then turn back and am looking down the dirt road again when I see heat ripples (You know, like a hot pavement in the desert) forming just to the left of it on the scorched grass littering the area. From these ripples and out of nothingness appear two taller beings about seven feet tall, with larger black eyes that are squared off on the sides of their heads in purplish colored 'cloaks'. As they proceed to walk up the road towards me I wake up. Of course my first instinct is to look around the damn blackness of the bedroom but there is just my three year old (We are still weaning him into sleeping in his own bed) and wife snoring away in bed next to me.

Now I enjoy the whole paranormal/alien/UFO/ghost thing here and there (Thats why I'm in this thread after all)...I love watching the documentaries on History channel when they pop on from time to time and In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy was one of my favorite shows growing up. I believe there is stuff going on out there that we cannot comprehend, however I have NEVER had a dream like this before.

So anyway, yeah, it creeped the hell out of me and thought I would share. :lol

I told my friend about it and he replies "Dude, those little guys were 'helpers'". hahaha.

Man it's stuff like this that makes me regret not ever remembering my dreams, sounds like a trip.

It's too bad the MarbelHornet videos sort of died on the vine after #26 and sort of lead nowhere, since there doesn't seem to be any more appearing.

Actually, someone set up a fake marbelhornets account (note the lowercase letters) and posted this video, that obviously has nothing to do with the original series or Slender Man at all, but it's still pretty well done IMO.

The real one is Marble the fake one being Marbel. And Marble Hornets isn't dead. 26 is just the finale for part 1. There's credits on one of the creators channels listing it as "Marble Hornets Part 1"

Not dead.
 
I did have one paranormal event in my entire life. It was about 4 years ago or so.

I was driving home on a road which houses the facilities of the former Volunteer Ammunition Plant of Chattanooga, TN, whereabouts they are now attempting to revitalize industry and such, when I saw something just crazy. It was about 2:30 or so, and I saw some headlights or something in the rear view so I glanced up. I saw something most definitely not the color of headlights, extremely bright and very close. I turned around to look, slowing down and being comfortable with that particular road, and I saw a blob of energy maybe slightly taller than a minivan or work truck moving in a straight line across the road. That was fucking insane. I got home, and I just couldn't get my mind around it. It seemed to have tendrils reaching off it, and it looked like it was oozing at a steady rate across the road. I'm not a believer in such shit, and I have seen lights in my eyes while extremely tired or drunk, but one thing always really really bothered me about it: It had lit up the surrounding trees and space on the road. It really did. If I had to debunk my own experience, I'd say that my brain just autofilled the information after the fact, but whatever the cause I did see it.

The thing that bothers me now was that it seemed to be going somewhere.

Marbel was just a typo on my part.
 
the other day when I got home from work (I worked all night) when I was sleeping I was awaken by the phone ringing and it was my wife on the line but she died almost a year ago. What freaks me out is that I'm sure it must be a dream but it seemed so real and in the dream the call was from her phone in Taiwan.
 
Anyone seen this video on the McKenzie River Figure?

That is freaky! :lol

Oh and do your best and take care!
 
I don't think it's paranormal but super weird and freaky. This was way back in 1996 or 1997. I was originally born in Mexico and lived there for 10 years, from birth til age 10, and been living in the US for double that. Still, 99% of my dreams take place in Mexico. Anyways, that's not the weird part.

So I was dreaming that I was visiting my Elementary school, in Mexico, in the middle of the night. As I was walking inside the class room a black figure started chasing me. I ran outside but fell to the ground. As it happens in most dreams, when you're trying to run away, you can't. Your legs just don't respond and can't even stand up. I was crawling as fast as I could but the black figure, looked just like death, was just about to jump on me. I start kicking at it and the figure starts swinging and slashing at me with a razor knife. As I am kicking one of those swings cuts one of my toes and I immediately wake up. My heart was beating really fast and I was just glad it was all a dream. As I turn a little I feel a tingly sensation coming from one of my toes. So I reach and scratch it. As I bring back my arm and rub my fingers it feels slippery and wet.....I get up and turn on the light and see that it's blood. I walk back to my bed, remove the covers and see a razor blade in my bed.

Before I went to bed I had been sowing some clothes of mine and was using the razor blade to cut the threads. I just thought that I may have left in on the bed before I went to bed so I just went back to sleep. I probably didn't, i remember putting everything back in a small box, but oh well. WHO KNOWS what really happened. Whether something did grab the knife and cut me or not, but dreaming having a toe cut by a black figure with a razor knife and waking up with a cut toe and a razor knife next to it, is very weird and freaky.

See, I don't get this viewpoint. I'd say that some stuff in this thread is nothing more than trickery of the light, or the brain playing tricks upon you via blindspots, or whatever. But there is definitely certain things which science cannot explain; hence the term paranormal. Science can't even explain lightning or dreams so brandishing the good book of normality won't save you.

That's reasonable. So which things in this thread can't be explained so far?

That is very convincing, for several reasons:

- The cameraman didn't see it. Therefore it's unlikely he had prior knowledge
- The figure in question is only viewable for a few seconds, most fakes tend to keep the object in question framed for a longer period of time (usually blurred or obscured)
- It is much larger than a human, based on the distance from camera > boat > figure

The most interesting piece of sasquatch footage I've seen, and I've looked into it in the past.

Why are you so interested in what my opinion is? Why do you seem determined to not corner me into "that guy" label? Read through the posts yourself because I see myself going through 1000+ posts myself and pointing them out is a waste of my time, therefore I will simply leave it to this small 1 minute typing session to tell you I don't really give a shit.

This isn't a paranormal event but a strange dream that I would like to share. Move along if you don't have any interest.

One dream I remember vividly seemed to start off as a camping trip in some forest. It was a few friends and I (in the dream) walking around looking for something... I dunno. Anyway, in the dream we stumbled upon a large white, rundown mansion. (of course!)

We go inside and decide we should sleep there for the night. During the dream, ghosts and ungodly creatures start appearing. It's sort of like poltergeist. Through out the dream random souls, creatures, and stuff kept coming up and scaring the shit out of us. Examples: Flying ghosts, people looking like the grimreaper, and tall scary figures. For some reason we stayed... Anyway, later in the dream, a tall, horned humanoid was coming up from the basement stairs. It was growling in the scariest way possible. It was all black so I couldn't see any other features, but it still sounded scary as shit. Finally, I decided to run away from this house.

As I was running, I stumbled into the kitchen. At the table I saw what appeared to be my relatives. It seemed as if it were my dad's family enjoying dinner because I saw my grandfather at the table. (I have never met the man except for when I was 1 years old. Still, no recollection). He waved towards me with a smile and motioned for me to go down the hallway behind me. When I turned around I saw my father. He seemed to be a ghostly zombie (Expressionless face with a white hue). His arms were outright and he was making the usual zombie noise. He then looked at me and hugged me, as if we haven't seen each other in years. I started to tear up (I did in real life too). He pointed me towards the exit and I ran out. I met my friends near a car (they supposedly got the hell out of there). As we were driving away the house was on fire.

I found this dream strange because it actually made me cry. (When I woke up I had tears on my pillow/eye). I will always remember this dream, luckily I still have time with my father before this hits home.

Sorry if this wasn't creepy for yall, just thought it was something that I found really strange and vivid.

I would say it's interesting to talk about all aspects of the paranormal, including what could be causing them. Besides, just because they have a reasonable explanation doesn't mean they didn't happen.

Your story reminded me of a similar experience I had a few years ago.

In my dream, I was part of a bomb squad or something similar, and I was trying to deactivate a bomb with a timer going backwards. The situation was getting more and more tense as the timer went down to zero. I couldn't deactivate the bomb, and in my dream I was embracing for impact, preparing for the big explosion.

I wake up in that moment, and to my surprise the first thing I see is a pigeon fly straight to the glass window I have right in front of my bed, before it crashes and falls out of my sight. The funny thing is that I am sure that I saw the pigeon coming for a good pair of seconds before it hit the window.

What I suppose happened in both our dreams is that both the bird crashing into my window and you getting cut by the razor knife happened a bit before we woke up, and the whole dream experiences, even though they appeared as if they had taken place during more than a few of minutes, were actually created in our brains in a fraction of a second right before we woke up.

Well, that was my pseudo-paranormal experience and my scientific dissection of it. Let's continue with more interesting stories!
 
Something that actually scared me abit back. My grandfather use to have all these books about witchcraft when he was living. There are quite a few weird storys to be told about these books,but I dont feel like it. When he died my uncle took all of his occult books. My grandfather always forbid his children to read these books. My mother says once when he was away she snuck and started reading the books. He called that night and told my grandmother to tell her to leave his books alone. Mind there were 9 kids and he knew it was her. Maybe it was just his intuition but he seemed to know that she was reading the books. Anyway a year or so ago I was looking for the books and came across 1. I was sorta trying to decided if i wanted to read it or not. These books had the most creepy illustrations. Cant remember the names. So i made up my mind to read it. Didnt do it that day though. Woke up in the morning and my aunt called and said I wonder if your uncle is messing with those books. I heard a voice saying that someone was going to mess with that book and to tell them no. Its giving me chills and watery eyes just thinking about it. My aunt had no idea, i'd not talked to her about it.

In all seriousness, I actually have seen something...weird. It was Christmas Eve and I was about 6 or 8 years old. I was heading to my bedroom, and I looked out my window. The lawn was covered in snow, and then a bright yellow stream of light sped across my backyard. I know for a fact that I saw it, it made my room light up and I saw it's reflection in the snow. No idea what it was or could have been though.
Click to expand...
I'm not sure if this is serious or not, but what you saw was the snow plows.


I just find this odd because this same thing happened to me. Christmas morning, I was putting my shirt on and all the sudden I was blinded by some light that lit up my backyard.

For a full year I thought I had saw a ghost or something...that is until next Christmas morning when the same thing happened and I realized what it was.

Read the books. Do it! GAF demands you do it.
 
I'm afraid to say I've given up my quest to read the books after that. In my family theres too many wierd storys, but the ones about the books creep me out the most. The same uncle who took the books. Not my favorite Uncle, rigged sorta man, brash, but honest. His experiences hes talked about with these books should have chickened me out instead of making me curious.

That was frustrating watching that, wanting him to turn his camera left but he just keeps it straight :( Very weird footage, when did someone finally see something in the video anyway? was it just sitting on youtube for awhile until someone noticed it?

Also it's probably just a log or something.

Read the books! Read the books!
 
There are so many stories in my family someone should write a book. I think what makes some more interesting is that they were witnessed by multiple people, like the story about calling a friends dead aunt up while pretending to have a seance.

One of my favorite ones is one told by my mother and aunt. They were outside and it was late at night in Shelby Mississippi. They were kids. They saw a pack of dogs. They said it looked like the dogs were having a conversation the way they were sitting around in a circle. The crazy part is they both said when they got closer they heard these dogs whispering, one would say something and the others would bust out laughing. Kinda like GAF. When I got older i thought about it and it came to me that maybe these were hyenas and their childlike imaginations filled in the part about the talking.

Yes! We need to know about these books!

The names of the books would be appreciated. I'd track them down and give a read, for GAFs benefit.
 
That probably would've made for a crazy GAF topic though. I dont think i'd read the books, but im sure a few posters here would have enough courage to do so and then post if anything crazy happened.
 
:D Yeah probably would have been fun if nothing happened.

Besides my aunt who is on pills there really isnt a history of mental illness in my family, not that it means much but mostly everyone is or has went to college. I think why some of their storys bother me is because i don't know these people to be liars.

One of the story's goes, my uncle used one of the books to try and get wealth. There was a time when my uncle was a church going man, but during this time he wasn't. So he says he did a spell for wealth and protection. That night he went to sleep. He said he dreamt he woke up in his bed and there were 3 small men. It always sounds a bit ridiculous to me because he said they were green. I hate telling the green part of the story because 3 small green men sounds so lame, but in keeping with the truth of telling the story I have to add it in. He says that they told him they would give him all he wished for, but he had to give them 1 thing. He had to give them his soul. Now I know some gaffers don't believe in a soul, but my uncle did and he said no.

But it doesn't end there

I remember my cousin telling me the next part of this story. we were kids at the time when all this was going on. He says they woke up one morning to find baby powder knocked over and footprints leadi...hmm maybe i shouldnt be telling this story at night....

Anyway he ...time to turn on the light

Okay light on :)

he said they found small footprints leading up the mirror in a bedroom. He was totally serious and freaked out by it. Like whatever knocked the powder over stepped in it and walked right up the mirror. That always gives me chills. Going to have to hit some Live for Streetfighter, doubt i'm going back to bed. I've never heard this cousin say he saw or even heard anything else...Actually i take that back there was a time me and him went to the library in Riverdale Illinois

Anyway so remember when i said my uncle did the spell for wealth and protection? Well his wife and he got into a bad argument one day. I already have chills and this part creeps me out to, his wife, this woman wouldnt know how to lie. Anyway she says after the argument something slapped her hard and pushed her in a closet. My uncle says he found her in the closet crying. My uncle talks alot of trash, but i dont think hes the abusive type. He says she said why did you slap me and push me into the closet. I didnt see you but it must have been you. my uncle says he wasnt even in the room and the kids validate that he was in the room with them at the time. They always say a few more things happened, but nobody recalls what. I think he did something to get rid of the 3 men but i dont remember what.

The last thing that seems related besides me looking for the books is what happened in Riverdale.

Sorry if this is hard to read writing isnt my talent.

Short version: I almost lived in a haunted mansion.

According to one of my students, I worked in a haunted school. It may have just been some Korean overreaction, but according to some teachers and the caretaker at 6-8pm the elevator and lights acted "erratically" and there could be the feeling of another person's presence if you were alone. Apparently some dude killed themselves on the hill behind the school.

I certainly didn't notice anything weird. Then again when you have a hot nurse and a few attractive co-teachers you don't notic... what am I talking about again?
