Three of the most fucked up children books ever in one volume for that price? Fuck yes, please.

The artwork STILL creeps me the fuck out, even if the stories are mostly a lot tamer than I remember (Some of them are still remarkably fucked up though). I mean, just look at that cover! Holy shit, who thought this was appropriate for children?

I'm locking this in a god damned vault to save for my children so they will quickly learn to stop asking me to read them bed time stories. Mwa ha ha ha ha!
Bought this last year. The stories are a little creepy, but like you said...the artwork is fucking horrifying. I'm 27 and it STILL gives me the fucking creeps when I look at the story art.

Man, awesome memories. I'm in the process of moving and I just found my original copies of the three books. I remember reading those before bed, and being scared shit-less and not being able to sleep ... much like this thread does to me now sometimes. :lol
 
I'm a firm believer in the whole "someone passed and we experienced something" there are many nights that I fall asleep watching an A's game (I'm in CST so they end around 12:00am here) and I wake up with a blanket on me. My wife used to always put a blanket on me when I fell asleep watching the game before she passed.

The other thing I was thinking of is...and this gives me cause for rumination...a nurse (Miss Annie, Bongo tells us) would not wake a patient up in the middle of the night to talk on radio about such an occurrence if it were not in the patient's best interest. If this WAS part of some sort of mental disorder or the product of fantasy, any doctor wouldn't want to accentuate and inflame a patient's hysteria...

...so there could very well be something more to this. I take his fear to be genuine. For the night staff to allow him or notify him of an opportunity to talk about his experience leads me to think they believe there's an inkling of truth to the matter. Alternatively, they might think the whole thing is harmless and he's just scaring himself - but it seems a malicious thing to do, wake a patient in the middle of the night just to have him scare himself witless.

Probably some kind of theorpy- maybe he never really talks about it and waking him up when its on the radio could be the only option.

While we are talking about paranormal stuff when someone dies. My dad experienced something before he got a phone call that his dad had died, and when the phone was rinning when he woke up it wasn't unxpected because of that.

Also when he died after he was berried I think, my grandma reckons that he came into the house and said he would look after her or something.

Then moving along a bit- my dad had a cat when he was living at his parents place who lived outside because the dogs inside picked on it or something- anyway the day it died it insisted on coming into the house, and it went to sleep on his dads bed and died an hour later.

Got a bunch of other stories liek that which I've forgotten as well which dad has told me relating to his pets.
 
Anyone watched the paranatural series of Nat Geo yet?
Only watched eps 2 and 3 so far , pretty cool shit.

I think theres only 3 so far, first is about the Chupacabra so i gotta see that.

There have been a lot of deaths in my family and there are some things that have happened make us go "what the fuck?" because it really is unexplainable. I mean, a creaking floor/wall or door opening/closing I don't give a crap about, but it's those other things that happen that raise the hairs on your neck.

When my grandfather passed away my mother took it very hard. The day of the funeral her mother gave her the cremated remains and she set them on the mantle in our living room. The next morning we found the nearby floor lamp over turned. She believes it was him giving her a sign as he was a troublemaker in his youth. I don't really have an explanation as to how a sturdy floor lamp could have toppled over. We have an old dog but she's never acted rowdy, and has had hip problems for years that keep her pretty slow moving. She spends 20 hours a day sleeping under the bed and only goes outside once a day, so it would be incredibly out of character for her to knock over a lamp.
 
There's a lot of stories of people who say "I had a feeling bad event X would happen" and then it turns out to be happening, like someone dying.

Here's a question, though. Do those people ever report the times they had a feeling and it DIDN'T happen? Probably not, because that reduces the "credibility" of the claim. For example, if you have an elderly relative, their likelihood of dying is fairly high. So every day, sometimes moreso than others, you'll have that in mind. And then, when it DOESN'T happen, the feeling is dismissed and forgotten.

Let's even remove the elderly aspect. Having a family member die is a legitimate fear. It's also a reality of the world we live in--people die all the time, naturally or unnaturally. It'd be insane NOT to know this on some level. It's GOING to enter your consciousness at some point--if anyone here is a parent, they'll know this feeling very well.

What does this mean? Well, we live in a world that has 6 billion people, all thinking thoughts day after day, for about 80 years, and someone dies every 10 seconds somewhere. We can see how the probability of people's fearful predictions coming true eventually is high. High enough that we'd see it in all demographics, including the young male audience of Neogaf.

So, basically, the coincidental occurrence of people's predictions of family members dying is not really a coincidence if we follow the probability. It SHOULD happen, fairly often, in fact. One could even say it is...normal.

I don't see where in this thread someone came to say "I had the feeling that my 80 years old grandpa would die that night ... and he did".

Well, there's two cases on the last page, for starters, of people just having a feeling that someone died. And there's no need for that tone, I wasn't saying it doesn't happen. In fact, I'm saying it DOES happen, and SHOULD happen. So, I'm actually supporting their claims of it happening. :)

Not quite sure if this is verbatim but.. Does this have the one where two brothers live on a farm and a scarecrow appears, so they keep it. And when one of the brothers leaves he comes back to find the scarecrow laying his brother's skin out on the roof of the building in order to wear it?

Oh man how that freaked me out.

That one still creeps me out.
 
Did a bit of digging on the lost cosmonauts story. If it hasn't already been listed in this thread, here's the alleged transmission of a female cosmonaut's last transmission before burning up on re-entry in 1961. It's kinda spooky to hear her final words before the capsule disintegrated high in the atmosphere, then even more so, be wiped from history through fear of it damaging a nation's domestic and international pride.

Lost Cosmonaut Ludmilla

EDIT: And, for some balance, the counter-argument to the lost cosmonauts conspiracy. Some very interesting points from Skeptoid's Brian Dunning.

This is just ridiculous.

There's a lot of stuff in this thread, plenty of legitimate mysteries and seemingly honest tales. Also, you'll notice a lack of people jumping to conclusions about whatever they've experienced.

Do you really think that absolutely everything discussed in this thread is "BS"?


My apologies for coming off like an ass, but yes, to answer your question. I absolutely LOVE the adrenaline rush that comes from partaking in these kinds of threads, and sharing our creepy stories.

However, I've yet to read any that made believe they were truly something of a supernatural/paranormal nature. So maybe bullshit is a strong word, but there we are.


Btw, as to those walking Elfo dolls from Mexico. I've got a relative who is picking one (or rather, letting the doll pick her) real soon. So the moment I get some hands on, I'll if I can make it walk :D

Eh it's nothing too special but I'll bite.

So my parents divorced almost 20 years ago, we (mum & 4 kids) moved interstate and she found a boyfriend. They gave birth to my littlest brother, and my mother's boyfriend died in a car accident 4 years later.

Anyway so weird things began happening a few weeks after he died:

- Fridge door kept opening, requiring someone to get up to close it. It was a bit of a joke after a while because some of his favourite beer was still in there.
- A lamp in my mother's room flickered on and off, all of my siblings were in the lounge room with myself and a friend of mine and we all saw it via the hallway. At first I disbelieved it, thinking I was just seeing things but my brother voiced up and everyone starting going "yeah what the heck?" Eventually my sister was pleading somewhat ridiculously for him to leave us be, etc. We all sat down again, not daring to touch the lamp to turn it off. Less than 2 mins later, it flickers again and stays off.
- I used to sleep downstairs and my room would be directly under the kitchen. Often, if the person was loud enough, you could hear them walk around upstairs. On my mid-week day off from school, I'd sleep in like a pig and would be alone in the house till the afternoon. Several times during those days, I'd hear footsteps overhead whilst I would be down in my room playing games/drawing. Head upstairs and no one would be there.

Pretty sure there is one more that involves my little brother (not his son) who was very close to him, but for the life of me I cannot remember it.

I had a sleep paralysis episode last month and man it was creepy. I saw a shadow figure and I tried to wake up but couldn't.

I saw a shadow figure when I was kid. I was going to bedroom after eating dinner and then I caught a shadow running to my bedroom and I was scared and had to call my mom and told her "I saw someone running to my bedroom". She even called the cop because she saw how frightened I was and then nobody was there.

oh also listen to this WAV sound file that I found.

"This audio was recorded on January 29, 2005 during the investigation of a Des Moines, Iowa residence. In the recording, PRISM investigator Dan Christianson asks, "Are you happy here?" and then he is answered with a response from a growling spirit male voice which says something like "We will stay!" or "We won't go!" in a deep moaning voice. A second spirit voice can be heard as well, speaking over the first lower voice. This spirit screams out something that sounds like "Get them off me!"

creepy voices (With noise reduction applied & looped x3 )

That gave me chills and my eyes begin to watered after hearing the "Get them off me!" :lol

Pretty interesting though.
I was hoping for some creepy audio and I just heard ambiguous static that had none of the described emotional weight.

As others pointed out, that one was called Harold, and yes, it's in there.

That story was easily the most terrifying one in the series. Seems at least a couple levels above and beyond everything else in the books.
 
okay, I guess I'll share a few things with you guys.

--
This first thing happened when I was maybe 9-10 years old.My classes would get out an hour before my brothers and my mom would pick me up from school. My brother on the other hand would walk home from school since it was on the same street but just a few blocks away and he was older. So one day I go outside and wait for him to come down the street and after a few minutes I see him coming smiling and daydreaming I guess. He is still a distance away so where he can't hear me too well especially with cars passing by. So I just wait for him and notice that he isn't really paying attention. I see him begin to cross the street like one foot out and that's when I notice a car coming his way. Like I said, the guy didn't seem to be paying attention and didn't seem to notice the car.

That's when something strange happened. When you blow bubbles or you see oil in water you can see like a rainbow pattern?

Well that's what I saw around my brother at that moment and it felt as if time had slowed down. The next thing I notice is the car going by and my brother just continue walking like nothing happened or he didn't notice anything.

When I told him this he thought I was crazy.

Another time my brother was really sick and during the night I woke up to go use the restroom. After I was done I started walking back to the room when I got close to the door I noticed my brother floating in the air and going towards my parents room who were directly across from us. When he was floating it looked as if someone had him in their arms cradled and in a rush. After I saw that I ran to my bed, hid under the blankets, and didn't go back to sleep. I told my parents what I saw the next morning but the didn't have an explanation.
--

--
A few years later and in another house (where I never noticed anything but my aunt says she would see a little girl) I noticed an ambulance was at my neighbors and were taking away his baby niece. It turned out that she had died for some reason that I can't remember at the moment.

Well, we eventually actually moved into that same house after they had moved as well. Now this house was the weirdest. At nights you could hear the pantry doors opening and closing, the knobs being turned, the cupboards creaking open and shut. When I would walk to my room or brothers room I would feel as if something was watching me down the hallway and near the kitchen. I never SAW anything but I just would get these feelings. I tried to see what would make those noises at night too but I could never come up with an adequate explanation for all of it. It wouldn't happen until 1 or so in the morning either.

My cousin eventually moved in with us and he swears that one day when he opened the door to his room and looked down the hallway he saw a figure of some woman dressed in a white nightgown in front of my brothers door. At first he thought it was my mom but then realized that it was someone else that shouldn't be there and it eventually disappeared.

My brothers room was the same room that the little baby girl and her mom slept in too. I actually didn't know this until recently but he says that he would feel as if something was in the corner of the room and that he hated that house.

Another one of my brothers also stayed there for awhile and would hear the noises at night as well. I think both of my brothers that stayed there investigated the kitchen at night thinking it was my mom washing dishes or something but when they got there no one was in there.
--

Well, that's all for now. Believe it or not! I don't really care! :P

:lol
 
This was last year sometime or maybe the year before I cant remember. Anyway it was night around 11am it was a school night and I had randomly decided to go to bed early.. (im usually in bed about 1am and sleep by 2:30am :P) My dad was asleep on the recliner snoring beer in hand(and when the man snores he fucking snores it can be heard from to houses away sometimes no joke) my brother sleeping on the couch next to him and front door open and all. My mum was in her bed sleeping and I was the only one left awake so I go for a shower and head off to bed I hit sleep for about 2 hours so it was now around 1:40am I wake up but not fully someone was in my room.. I took no notice of it as it may have been my brother walking in going to bed 10 minutes later I hear a scream and my mother yell "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE" next minute running across my house and the back door opened and closed I hop up in a semi dazed state asking what happened turns out someone broke into our house pored them self some wine stole all our alcohol and fled when my mum court them going through here jewellery. Turns out there was more than one as they stole more alcho than one person can carry.

Bastards
(yeah wasnt creepy apart from someone being in my room or unsolved but meh just keeping the thread alive I enjoy this shit.)

Three of the most fucked up children books ever in one volume for that price? Fuck yes, please.

I'm locking this in a god damned vault to save for my children so they will quickly learn to stop asking me to read them bed time stories. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

I remember reading that when I was in elementary school.I loved it back then and I actually bought the collection last Halloween.

Seeing as how the "victims" confessed that they made the whole thing up after drinking too much (Some of their claims were downright retarded. A floating pig in the window? WTF?), I'm game.

they didn't confess anything btw, it was the man who wrote the book who said that they were drinking and etc. They claimed that while he made some thing up, most of it was true.
 
Hey, in the vein of those Fewdio films (while while flawed absolutely contain some solid ideas) here's another short film. I really enjoy these super short horror mini-movies, it gets to the moment of exhilaration without all the buildup and cheesy stumbling around. Usually I favor Japanese horror with it's relentless creeping atmosphere, but this is definitely a nice change of pace.

Great, I would read this thread at night when I'm all alone :lol

Well since I'm all freaked out now I might as well pay it foward with my childhood tale of trauma. I grew up in an 1880s brownstone in Brooklyn that my grandparents brought not long after they moved the family there from Jamaica. Like most West Indian families several generations all lived under one roof from the littlest, me, to my Great-Grandmother. We lived there until I was twelve and even though it was a huge old house nothing really stranged happened there besides this one event.I've never repeated this story to anyone so only my relatives who were there know about it.

One night when I was eight I was sitting up in bed reading after everyone else had to bed. My bedroom was connected to a small livingroom and on the other side was my great-grandma's bedroom. Occasionally she would get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or get some water so I thought absolutely nothing of the figure I saw approaching my bedroom that night. As it got closer, about three feet away, it suddenly occured to me that the figure was far too tall to be my great-grandma. I turned and standing by my bed was a tall, white woman. But she wasn't just white in ethnicity, it was as if all color had been drained from her and her clothes like a black and white film. My immediate thought was nothing supernatural but rather that some crazy person had invaded my house and possibly harmed my great-grand since the woman had come from her bedroom. I totally freaked and jumped out of bed towards my parents room but there were a couple rooms I had to run through to get there. When I turned to see if she was chasing me (damn I'm getting serious chills now) I saw instead that she was moving backwards into the livingroom as if she was being rewound on a movie screen. At this point my mom ran out of the bedroom where she was sound asleep and I told her I saw a crazy woman in the house. My whole family was awakened the house searched but no one was found and my great-grandmother said she was watching TV in bed and saw no one. The conclusion that was reached was that I was having a bad dream but I know to this very day that I was wide awake when it happened I didn't dream it. I have no idea what the woman was but she wasn't transparent, she seemed as solid as any person, and the only strange thing about her was the aforementioned lack of color about her and the fact that she didn't seem to see me at all while I was screaming my head off. I'm not a believer in ghosts and spirits but that night still bothers me whenever I think about it.
 
Last time I read this thread I had to stay up until 5am playing so I could calm down. :lol it's 9:30 pm and I just watched the "Mamá" short. :lol Good grief, why do I always click this thread late at night?

I've never experienced (to my knowledge) any kind of supernatural phenomena, I just love this thread. I wanted to thank you all for your posts and contributions. Keep them coming. :D
 
My friend lives out in a not very populated area, basically its one "main" road off of a highway in the middle of nowhere basically. I can remember it like it just happened, so can he, for better or worse. I have only tried to tell a couple people about it in the 6 years since it happened, so ill try to cut down to just the big stuff. So it was around 7 or so on a Sunday in October one year when my bud decided to go walk down to Caseys like eh a mile or so away. Being fall it was getting pretty much dark out at that point but we didnt think about it.

We walk there no problem down the street but on the way back he decides we should take this shortcut through this field that turns to woods, which hey, its dark at this point but no problem I mean we can see a good distance from the beginning of the field to the tree line cause of moonlight so we start. Having played football id say the field we were in was about a good 70 yards to the trees. Anyway we get about half through with no animals being around when a breeze comes through so I do my normal walk backwards and talk thing when it gets windy and notice a medium-ish shadow back where we walked from at the "entrance" to the field.

So i poingt out "hey, thats strange, you remember seeing any cows or horses on the way?", to which he answered "nah, but it might be a wolf or a something". Anyway we talk for a few seconds debating what it could be and when we look back, nothing is there. In fact the taller grass where it had been seemed like nothing had been there since i could see it move with the breeze. A bit on guard we get to the tree line and notice that it forks kinda with trees on one side and more field on the other past this old barbed wire fence. After the previous experience of the "thing" being back where we came from we decided to go with where we can see: the field.

We scan the new field for a few seconds to see if there was anything but it was all clear so I decide I'll let him go through the fence first while I hold it up and step on the bottom part. Now, as I'm holding the fence I'm still looking at the field. He gets a leg through and gets his upper body almost through when he gets caught on a barb. As that is happening it looks foggy from the distance, like a desert oasis type experience. As my eyes focus on the fog I notice that about 15 feet away on the other side of the fence is an animal. A cow maybe but all black. He says "we'' at least its not a bull". As he finished that sentence it stood on its hind legs to where it looked like a minotaur without the horse backend. As i see it start standinmg im pulling him back and freaking out. Cause up till this point it had just moved parallel to us but as I pulled him through it took steps toward us and we could see gleaming red eyes. It maybe took a good step toward us at most before I did a Sonic outta there back where we came from. I left my friend in the dust after the first 5 feet i could hear "wait for me, dude stop". I slowed just enough to see he was ok and I noticed that there was nothing where we were just at. Just thinking about it now I still remember that feeling, I hate it. It was like ice water and electricity in my veins when it stood up and moved at us. Terrifying. Still dont know what it was, was thinking a Jersey Devil type thing at one point. Probably better to not know right now.

Encounter in the Pilliga Region

I'm rather disturbed at this recording of a late-night call-in on a regional Australian overnight radio show. While there could be a completely rational explanation - such as some kind of latent PTSD explosion or drug-related psychosis given that it was 1978 - this sounds very earnest and I'm sitting here with chills.

If anyone knows those desolate roads and back country of Australia's inland, you'd be well-aware of just what a ripe place it is for strange occurrences.
Fuck...

Oh yeah, and I used to love those Scary Stories books, they had all of them in my fourth grade classroom the stories and illustrations were so incredibly eerie. Even when I came across them in my local library in 7th grade, I would still get unnerved standing there flipping though the pages in a corner :l

Good ol' Yowie stories. One of our family friends is an old Aboriginal shaman, and she's seen a lot of shit, always tells us to avoid certain things and stuff. I'm sure most of the stuff she used to tell us when we were kids is complete rubbish to keep us in line, but some stories were downright scary. I'll have to go visit her again one day and let her ramble on for a while since most of the things I was told are distant memories.

I remember two things though that stick out; the tall thin lady who would steal children in the middle of the night, and the little white monsters that would snatch your feet if you hung them over the bed.

There's also an old rule she told us that if you ever get touched by someone randomly and they look at you without saying anything, you have to quickly touch them back because the "curse" they have inside them is trying to get more people. Another cool thing was when she'd smoke out the spirits in a house, and the way the smoke would move around as if it is a snake is pretty crazy, coupled with her taunting the spirits and yelling at them to go away.
People in Asia do similar things to purge malicious spirits from their houses, usually when they move in.

Also the tall thin lady and the little white monsters sounds like a similar thing in Africa, where kids would wake up with clawmarks on their backs. My memory's a bit hazy on this though, I believe Credo Mutwa talked about this.

This.

We are rulling out one paranormal thing at a time. Next one to debunk is Yowies- the guy who runs the site thinks its a Yowie possibly.
When I heard the story, I thought Yowie as well

A Yowie would be able to tear the door off a 4WD, they've been known to break large trees
They're also very hairy, they have no necks, they are rarely seen and maybe they do enjoy kidnapping people for food or trophies

Don't take back rocks from Uluru...

THEY seemed like harmless mementos of a holiday to Uluru but, after a turn of bad luck, hundreds of people have returned the rocks they pocketed from the sacred Aboriginal site.
And these rocks have been sent from all over the globe!
