Once I was replacing the batteries for my wireless mouse and then right when I placed one of them on the desk it exploded. It made a large popping sound and one of the metal disks on the end fell off with some black acid oozing out. I don't know why it exploded right when I placed it on the desk. Also, it seems ironic that a battery that is out of chemical energy would still have enough to explode and make the sound that it did. Perhaps it was divine intervention, cause now I love learning about chemical energy and I have a test tomorrow.
Sorry, didn't notice that it was such a little description.
According to some people the Montauk project entails having a giant underground lab where alien technology is tested. Also, some people report that the alien tech is a gift from aliens and involves jumping through alternate dimensions with the use of some kind chair. In one instance of testing, some kind of alternate dimension monster jumped into our world, killed a bunch of scientists and had to be killed.
Pretty sure whoever's writing "Fringe" is somewhat familiar with the Montauk mind control and Alternate Dimension stories, like Ong's Hat, etc.
The old Montauk monster story was that they found some way to dimensional travel or tap into alternate earths. So they tapped into this one future Earth and found this huge gold statue in the middle of a deserted cityscape, and that's the place that psychic energy monster came from. I tell you those stories were freakin awesome back in the day.
Last summer I was staying over a friends house and he fell asleep before I did. Around 3AM while I was browsing GAF, my friend yelled in his sleep "OH MY GOD...MY MUSTACHE!!"
My friend has no recollection of doing it and does not have a mustache...

I wonder why in this day and age of hollywood making and remaking every story they can get their hands on, has no one gone after a Slender Man movie? If done right, it could be creepy as hell since even with all its problems, Marble Hornets is still pretty entertaining.

In my area around Halloween a couple years ago, there were some strange occurrences. Probably explainable by science or something, but brooms all over town started standing by themselves, including my own. Here's a picture I saved on my phone.
I may have actually posted these in this thread but I'm not sure so I'll do it again!
There was a point recently where I wasn't sleeping a whole lot and drinking rather heavily. Other then this being terrible for your body I read that it also causes mental issues. I now sleep regularly and have cut back on the drinking.
These are just instances of sleep paralysis, nothing like a lot in this thread.
The first time I was dreaming about my job and my manager. We weren't in a work environment though, we were in a house just talking. I don't remember how it led up to it, but my manager said "I'm going to regret letting you go." He then stuck a needle into my neck and I was unable to move. I then woke up and couldn't move as well. I kept hearing someone saying "Shut the hell up!" Then I got genuinely freaked out when I looked in my doorway and seen an shadowy outline. I snapped out of it pretty quickly after I seen the figure, and oddly enough my friend called me right after. This was around 2:00 am.
About two weeks later I had a similar incident. I woke up from a dream and couldn't move. This time when I "woke" up I heard a voice over what sounded like a radio saying "We have contact, contact. I repeat we have contact." Then I felt as if I was getting pulled under my sheets. The thing was though, it felt like I was being dragged about 50 feet, at least. I then woke up and turned my light on.
Those are my slightly underwhelming stories.
I absolutely love this thread though. Keep the stories coming!

Not a video game, and more interesting than scary, but Alan Moore claims to have met his fictional comic book character John Constantine IRL on two separate occasions.
But then again, Alan Moore is probably a bit loopy in the head :lol:

Argh I keep getting sleep paralysis, to the point where I can feel the onset of it and fight it. Yesterday it started and I realized it and tried and tried to break from the paralysis, which in the dream felt like there was an earthquake going on. Then last night I had a false awakening in a dream and experienced it. I (falsely) awoke on my side with a light coming from behind my bed, so I could see my body's shadow on the far wall in my room. And walking on my body towards my head was a huge spider.. and I have arachnophobia.. but I managed to break from it rather quickly compared to the earthquake one. Crazy shit man.
A few days back, my girlfriend's dad heard this ungodly loud noise coming from the garage. The rest of the family was asleep. He went into the garage to find it was a radio, (their radio) volume at its loudest and all there was on was static. He turned it off and went back to bed, but not before cussing at the son because he thought he left it on.
The night after, the same thing happened. This time he knew it wasn't the son, he'd been inside the whole time.
He went into the garage, and found the radio, static coming through the speakers yet again, at loud volume. As he looked at the radio, he noticed a few things. The number on the display was on 34, which is quite a high number for CDs in the first place
There wasn't a CD in the thing to begin with.
As he began to notice the oddities, more strange things started to happen. The radio all of a sudden started to change channels and modes; from Radio to CD, etc. Then the volume buttons started to turn by themselves. The radio was going berserk as he was standing there. Needless to say he took the whole thing apart and stuffed it away in a corner of the garage.
Apparently it was faulty tech and the buttons had micromotors behind them that allowed them to turn by themselves

That would still completely freak me out. I have 2 that are not so much scary but just completely unexplainable:
First one is my mom usually sleeps while listening to a small radio under her pillow. Not sure if she does anymore but she used to. Anyways, she said she was listening to it one night and she overheard a message on the radio that said, "don't worry, i'll be with you every step of the way." This was not the DJ talking. She swears she heard it clear as day come over whatever was on the radio at the time. She even told us about it the next morning but none of us could make sense of what it could mean. The next night my sister gets a call at about 11:30 telling us that her boyfriend just had a brain aneurism and is in a coma in the hospital. Unfortunately they ended up having to take him off life support and he passed away. Such a strange occurrence for her to hear that message the night before and then that happen.
The other one is even more strange. My mom is cousin's with the wife of a college football coach who passed away a few years ago. They might as well be sisters though. When her husband was still alive, he was getting ready to take a trip but he couldn't find his wallet. He had no clue where it went and they never found it. Awhile after he passed away, his wife was clearing out his things and giving away a lot of his clothing particularly to goodwill and things like that. Fast forward about 6 months later and his wife is giving a speech in town that my mom is also attending. As her and my mom are talking, a woman walks up to them both and said, "I'm sure you'd like to have this." Turns out she had bought a pair of sweatpants for her husband at goodwill and found the wallet inside the pants. The very fact that the wallet somehow made it back to his wife is pretty mind blowing.
Like I said, not so much creepy as just difficult to explain how they happened.

Does anyone else here suffer from occasional/severe sleep paralysis?
It seems an odd topic to bring up in a paranormal thread, but there have been strange and supernatural explanations for this since time immemorial. Some cultures believe that sleep paralysis is caused by a disgusting hag sitting on your chest in the night, hence the odd pressure that some people feel in that region, completely unable to look and se what's cuasing it. In the Middle Ages, sleep paralysis was explained away by succubi/incubi, demons that would sexually violate individuals in their sleep. Needless to say, the same demons were also blamed on nocturnal emissions.
Some people, myself included, get the feeling that there is something in the room with us while we're paralyzed - some presence that is constantkly out of sight (because we can't move our heads). I, for one, suffer from this once or twice a month - sometimes only a few times a year. My entire body will tingle, and I'll feel as though I'm conscious and awake. It's different from normal sleep in that i can actually will myself awake, by slowly flexing my limbs, eyelids, etc. I don't get the abnormal terror that comes with some people's paralysis, but in this state I often find myself waking up to the sound of someone laughing, or calling my name (always female - oftentimes my girlfriend, who I do not live with).
I woke up once and couldn't move, I was lay facing the wall and I was convinced something was pulling on my bedsheets behind me because I could feel them brushing against my arm, I remember trying to grab hold of them but not being able to move. I was terrirfied whilst it was happening, this may explain it all.
When I was a kid, my mom put pictures she took out of the catalogs and magazines of children playing etc.
In a very early morning where I was may 3 or 4 years old, I remember waking up (which was unusual) and being drawn to the pictures on the walls and I ended up staring at one of the pictures. I believe it was one of a boy and a girl playing with a pale and shovel or something like that.
I thought I saw the boy in the picture moved and freaked out, so I woke my parents. I was trying to explain to them what happened and I was probably difficult to understand. But they finally understood I was telling them the picture had moving things in it.

I dunno if it's been brought up yet (too many pages for me to read through at work) but I came across these youtube vids through other links of this guy (Dr. Reed apparently?) that found a UFO in the woods with an injured alien that he thought dead nearby.
There's 11 videos total from roughly 10 years back I think and regardless of if it's a hoax or not (which according to the dude that hosted the vids nothings been proven at this point) they're pretty damn creepy. Dude brings the thing back to his house and puts it in a fridge when it wakes up and starts screaming at him with it's mind or something lol.
I recommend watching them all in succession after dark and while you're alone.

Thought form? The character "The Shadow" to this day hangs around the writer's original house, hat and all. Spend a couple decades writing about the same dude and he'll show up eventually.
When I was younger (about 7 or so?) I was trying to get to sleep one night. After about 15 minutes of turning all the lights off and such, I hear laughter from one of the corners of my room. That kinda whispery laugh that you make when you're trying to be quiet. I had no idea what it was, there was nobody in the room with me and it hasn't happened again.
I have also seen my bathroom door open and close by itself on two separate occasions, although that was most likely caused by a draft.
The Indrid Cold story from a few pages back reminded me of something that happened to me 11 or 12 years back. I was on the bus, looked outside, and there was a dude dressed in green walking on the sidewalk. Bus sped up. Two bus stops later, the same dude (or someone exactly like it) was walking on the sidewalk again. I think "weird" and let it go.
A week later, some friends are taking about strange things they've seen, and one talks about being at a concert, and seeing a man dressed in green walk across the stage, passing between the band members, then walk off. Nobody saw him besides himself, nobody reacted to the dude.

I'm diggin' the posts regarding déjà vu. How often does it happen to those that have experienced it? I experience it at least once a month. My family and friends think I'm crazy whenever I have a moment. In my head everything is exactly as it had been: thoughts, expressions, sounds. I swear, I could tell everyone in the room what they would say and do.
I do wish I had an experience like you, Mascot. I would've put the house down on a premonition like that.
Doesn't explain cases where you've mentioned what will happen to other people, but... Deja vu is just a case of the "memory" area of your brain firing up for no reason. This will make you feel like you've dreamed or thought before of what is happening in the present. Except you never did.
I haven't really experienced any creepy stuff and the only person who I personally know that has is my mom.
It's a really minor one, she just told me how after she got married her wedding dress always ended up soaking wet. It could be in her wardrobe and be wet while all the other clothes would be dry or placed outside to dry because it was wet then still end up being wet. There is probably an explanation for this. Like I said it's a pretty unexciting story but the only one I know from my friends/family.
I'm guessing that was planned, but that is seriously effective if it was. The fact that you are first freaked out, then you find out that what is causing the noise, and then you are still creeped out at the end is pretty cool.
There has been 2 things that have happened to me/my mom. For me, me and a bunch of friends visit a haunted area near my house called Old Finch Road. Well basically there was about 5 of us and we walked around for a bit and then suddenly only 3 of us, starting hearing a high pitched shriek that lasted about 3 seconds, and then shortly after, all 5 of us saw floating orbs in a yellowy/orange hue.
The second incident happened to my mom maybe 20-30 years ago. She was with 3 of her sisters in a random hotel/house type of thing in a small village in china [can't remember where exactly] and one of the sisters stayed in the room under the stairs [just like harry!] Basically one morning she woke up and started talking in another language and a much deeper voice and the rest of them got extremely freaked out and the sister proceeded to pass out shortly after. She woke up the next morning with a swollen face and no recollection of what happened. To this day, my mom and the other sisters never told her what happened to her.

And the only video he has of the alien moving just features him blinking.
Also, I'm curious as to when it was decided that aliens look like that? What was the first time someone imagined or reportedly saw an alien that looked like that? I really have no idea.
*I hope this is the right thread? Maybe there was a paranormal stories thread, but oh well*
I'm not a very good story teller so my experiences probably won't sound too creepy. My mom is sort of a paranormal nut, as a kid I remember she would have people over to use her stupid Ouija board and she participated in seances since she was a teen, but I didn't/don't really believe most of her stories. (Like a story where a seance summoned Jack the Ripper or a time when her friend was possessed and her hair turned white)
So on to me I have a couple of weird childhood experiences that freaked me out. A little back story on my house the place was incredibly creepy. My mom is a weirdo and she had an old barbie doll collection and she's an artist so she had a lot of very creepy face portraits/paintings up that you'd feel like were watching you. Anyone who stayed over even once would comment on how they felt uncomfortable when alone at night. We had a very odd long hallway where people would claim to see dark figures. It felt like you were being watched. And way later on during high school a repair man had to crawl under our house to fix the pipes for one of the bathrooms and he found a dirty old prosthetic leg. It looked legit it wasn't a prop but we just threw it away.
#1 is what sort of traumatized me/freaked me out for a few years. I was a night owl even as a kid so I'd usually stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. I was about 8 years old in the third grade sitting on my couch watching t.v on a school night. I remember complaining to my mom earlier that night that I kept seeing something like a mist or fog in said creepy hall way a couple of times. She ignored me and went back to washing dishes. I didn't watch horror movies so I really wasn't too imaginative or afraid of much at the time. Everything was pretty normal for most of the night until 11:59, Looney Tunes came on and the classic intro started up. Right when I saw the cable box hit 12:00 and after the lion roared in the intro I heard a loud gruff voice that was almost echoing. It screamed and threatened me. It said "If you don't get out of this house you're going to die" and then it laughed in an evil sounding way. I immediately ran to my mom and asked her if she heard that from the kitchen and she had no idea what I was talking about. I was pretty much traumatized for about a year after that I went from being a pretty independent kid to being afraid to be alone in any room of my house.
I've never heard any voices or auditory hallucinations in my life besides that one time.
The rest of my experiences all involved weird electronic malfunctions and "poltergeist" like experiences with toys. We had a 3 foot tall pink bunny toy that would change positions in the room when you would leave a room and come back later. I assumed it was a continuous prank by my brother or cousin, but the last straw was one time when only my cousin and I were home. I was the last person in my room and it was laying face down on the floor by my closet. When we came back in a few hours later it was on my bed sitting upright looking directly at a bikini girl poster. We disposed of the toy that night.
And when I was 9 or 10 we got these action figures on platforms as a christmas gift. They made grunting/fighting noises and you could snap two together and fight them like a modern rock-em-sock-em robots. A couple of times they woke us up in the middle of the night by constantly make the noise that's made when the button on their chest gets pushed. Obviously it was just a broken toy so we took out the batteries and threw them to the bottom of the an old toy bin. And then it happened again even my parents were creeped out and when we heard it in the middle of the night it was sort of a disbelief.... of "wow do you really hear those going off still?" We also disposed of those toys. It was a pretty infrequent occurrence and we couldn't reproduce them making noises no matter how we laid them around.
And the last thing is this old 1960's barbie that would randomly show up at different spots around our house. The only explanation/excuse that we lied to ourselves with is that one of our dogs must have been knocking it off the high shelf and dragging it around.
I'm sure I have more experiences if I think about it long enough, but I'm pretty sure I blocked out/forgot a few things.

Yep. The story is amazingly interesting and depressing on so many levels not only because of the way the girl was treated before she was rescued from the horrible conditions in the house, but also after the fact.
People interested in Indrid Cold (the Grinning Man) should read Mothman Prophecies. The movie is nice, but quite different from the book. Keel's writing has a circular, almost insane quality to it, which can be weird (he focuses on themes, not timelines), but it's interesting stuff. Cold only "appears" half a dozen times in the book, but it's worthwhile still, IMO. Grab an used copy.
Also, I noticed people saying they avoid sleeping on their backs to avoid sleep paralysis... Your body is not designed to sleep on your side or stomach. It's like not sitting straight - do it once and it's fine. Do it every day and you're fucking your body up without even noticing.

I disagree. As did the first couple of results on google. Please can you provide a source to your claim, I'd love to improve my sleep if it's a matter of position. Apparently sleeping on your right side is in some cases quite helpful and gives just as much support as laying flat. I understand not to sleep on my stomach or left hand side but I've always slept facing right. No problems here so far...
