Happy Halloween month!

I've recently discovered an appreciation for creepy stories - I used to be a wimp about them. So what's the creepiest thing that's ever happened to you? True stories only! Can be super natural or not.

Mine is pretty tame:

Someone broke into an apartment I was living in while I was there. I thought it was one of my roommates and almost walked out of the bathroom to the entry way while the guy was prying open our door with a crowbar.
 
Me and a friend of mine were probably in 7-8th grade and it was October and we found a dead body, since it was near Halloween we weren’t sure it was real, it ended up being real… very creepy

I used to go to a boarding school in Norfolk near snetterton race circuit. during the 2nd world war, the circuit was used by the usaf, and the school a hospital. I dont know how true it is, but the common room in the main building was used as a ward. the matron was doing her rounds, and instead of the seats and the tv, she saw rows of old hospital beds with people in them
 
I just remembered another one... I was staying with a friend at her parent's beach place. It was an older cottage with a screen door that didn't have any springs, it just opened and slammed shut.

The last night we were there, we heard the screen door slamming against the door frame several times... there was no wind and everyone was upstairs together. We never figured out what was making it slam.
 
As a boy, my parents farmed a place with an old building site (farmstead). All around it was pasture. While Mom and Dad checked cows, my sister and I would play in the old house. We always felt we were being watched by the ghost of the old guy who had lived there. (and died in the house) Strangely, it never worried us. And of all the crazy stuff farm kids do, we never got so much as a scrape or bruise from the jumps, falls, banging into stuff we did in there.
 
My UFO Encounter

I have several, but I don't want to share them right now for various reasons. But I CAN tell you about my UFO encounter, I had 2 years ago.

https://ibb.co/SRzkdqw

It was another slow day at the kiosk in the state park where I worked. At exactly 2:23 in the afternoon, I happened to glance up at the sky through my kiosk window. Suddenly, a I saw it. A dot of light hovering in the sky performing strange maneuvers, no sound emanating from it. I immediately knew it was no ordinary aircraft. I grabbed my camera and attempted to document the object. The dot of light was moving further away and I had trouble locating it in my view finder. I decided to zoom out and just start clicking, hoping it would appear somewhere in the picture. After maybe 30 seconds, I was finally able to locate the object in my view finder and zoom in on it. I tried to focus my lens to get a clear image, but the object was moving too fast. At that point I figured it was better to capture a fuzzy image than no image, so I just started clicking away, as I knew there was always a chance of digitally enhancing the image later. It was only after I zoomed in, that I realized just how bizarre this object was. It was donut shaped, and appeared to have lights emanating from it, though looking at the picture now, I see it might have been the sun reflecting off the craft. The craft stayed within my view for a few minutes, but as soon as I attempted to get a video of it, it took off to the north, as if the occupants knew how to avoid being documented, a theory I've long had.

Anyways, right as the craft was flying off, a line of customers started to form. I could still see the object, but didn't dare point it out to them for fear they would think I was crazy!

Approximately 7 minutes after my sighting, a Sheriff's helicopter flew overhead in the same vicinity the object had been in. The helicopter returned several more times. And yes, I know EXACTLY what you're thinking right now, and we'll get to that in a little bit.

Of course, I immediately went on my phone and Googled "Donut Shaped UFO", and quickly discovered that my sighting wasn't the first of its kind. Apparently, there have been quite a few sightings of donut shaped UFOs across the world. Some I could tell right off the bat were fake. Others on the other hand, seemed more convincing. But just like me, no one was able to get a clear image of it.

I also attempted to find out if there was anything in the locals news or social media about the object. I wasn't able to find anything, which made me think the object was nothing out of the ordinary. With its close proximity to the highway, I knew there was no way others couldn't have seen it. I DID eventually come across reports of other UFO sightings in my town, some of which had logical explanations, others did not. Which leads me to THIS.....

POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS

What I Saw Was Just The Sheriff's Chopper

https://ibb.co/Zz42CHx

After the Sheriff's helicopter showed up, this was the first logical explanation that came to mind. Here we see the same object at a different angle. As you can see, the outline looks very similar to that of a helicopter. The yellow light could simply be the sun reflecting off the chopper. HOWEVER, I have never seen any helicopter maneuver in such a way that it forms a perfect donut shape, with a hole in the middle showing through to the sky. Also, helicopters make sounds. This object didn't. It is possible I couldn't hear it because of the loud swamp cooler in my kiosk, but based of the object's other appearances, I am not so sure this was a helicopter. Also, I saw the Sherriff's chopper a few other times that day, at various distances, and it was obvious it was a chopper. Despite the photo comparison I have here, I do not think that this object was a helicopter. The Sherriff's chopper was possibly tracking it.

The Object Was A Weather Balloon

https://ibb.co/4FZycsq

This is by far the most popular explanation for UFO sightings. And after finding reports of other sightings in my town that turned out to be weather balloons, as well as this picture, showing an object attached to the weather balloon which is similar to the object I witnessed, I begun to think that this is the most logical explanation for what I saw. However, there is one problem with this theory...."Where is the balloon?" Even if it was clear/white, the object was close enough to me, that I most likely would have seen some sort of balloon structure attached to it. The donut object I saw didn't appear to have anything attached to it, which makes me question this theory.

Some Sort Of Drone Or New Military Craft

Researching other sightings/images of donut shaped UFOs all over the world, one popular theory that kept appearing is that this is some of new military craft. There are some air-force bases not too far from my town, so this could be a possible explanation. Another theory my mom came up with is that it might have been some sort of strange drone. Since my math skills aren't good enough to calculate the size of the object, I can not say with certainty whether one of these theories are true.

It Really WAS An Alien Spacecraft

With the inability to confirm any of the other theories, we must always be open to the possibility that what I saw on the afternoon of September 15, 2019 was indeed an alien space craft from another galaxy. This makes me wonder however, why on earth would aliens want to visit this crappy town, especially at THIS time of the year. Could be they were checking up on the spillway repairs that have been taking place for the past few years. Or maybe they simply wanted to get a closer look at our lakes and geologic features. Or maybe I'M from another galaxy and they came to check on me. Unless I can find some other reports of this object online, we may never know for sure. But it's really cool to think that some strange beings from another galaxy might have been staring down at me through the window of their space ship.

Thanks for reading. Let me know what YOU think this object was, in the comments section.

Here's PROOF that the photos aren't doctored!

There was a book written about mine. But obviously, I can't give that info out since it has my real name in it.

But one of my child hood best friends was kidnapped/murdered.

Shortly after that. Someone got into my house. I was home alone in the morning before school and saw someone sitting across from my house in a car. I called my Mom and told her about it. She told me to call 911. It was snowy outside and I was just trying to get ready. But I kept peeking out to see if he was still there, and at one point, he saw me looking. So I freaked out a little bit. The next time I looked out, he wasn't in the car.
So I crawled under a trap door my parents had in their closet. I could hear someone walking around. But this was before Cell phones, so I couldn't call 911 again. I laid on the ground crying. Eventually I heard Police yelling to let them in. But I was afraid to move.
When I finally crawled out, and let them in. They came in and looked around and said that there was foot prints (in the snow) to the back of the house, and into our laundry room. He had crawled in the house via that window.

So he had actually been in the house.

We moved shortly after that.

Oh my god, those are both awful, I’m so sorry :heart:
 
Dude, it involves me and my blow up doll in my hot neighbors house when she was on vacation. That is all you need to know. Sickos.
 
Used to work in a supposedly haunted pub in Nottingham (UK), over saw paranormal investigations. One was done by a television company filming a terrestrial rival to a major paranormal show at the time, doubt if it aired.

Group did ouija board in one room of the pub, male medium asked questions and was told in no uncertain terms that he was not wanted …

Few more stories of that nature.
 
I had a friend in college who was stalked by a friend of hers. She thought it was an innocent friendship. She introduced me to him while we had coffee once. My friend went missing. Turns out he murdered her and was later convicted.
 
A local girl that my sister went to secondary school with was murdered in cold blood by her husband.

He staged it as a burglary and even sent his mother in law to the house to check where she was, knowing that she would find her poor dead daughter in the house.

It was absolutely horrific but he got the book thrown at him and is rotting in jail now.
 
Probably not quite the type of creepy you're looking for, but in early 2008 I met a guy, but we only hung out a few times before I dipped because he was really trying to get possessive. 3 years later I saw him on the local news, arrested for child pornography. Definitely creeped the hell out of me!

A woman I used to work with got a divorce, and it came out in the divorce proceedings that her husband had repeatedly and secretly recorded their sex acts and then showed them to his friends.

Oh my god, that's SO creepy and disgusting :eek::mad:
 
This may be more serious than you’re looking for…

When my oldest son was in high school he had a bunch of friends who used to spend the night at our house pretty regularly. One Friday night my wife had enough and said we were having a family only night.

Two of the friends went to stay at one of their homes nearby. That night the kid who was a guest took a knife from the kitchen and killed his friend, his friend’s dad and severely wounded the mom. Both kids left some stuff behind at our house.

The murderer was proud and defiant and was sentenced to life. He gets fan mail in prison.

One night soon after we moved to the West Coast, I had a dream of a motorcycle accident and a voice that told me my uncle had died.

In my dream, I asked which one - I have 5, let's be specific!

Something spiraled down from the ceiling and stopped in front of me. It was a newspaper clipping with my uncle's picture...I now knew.

I suddenly woke feeling horrible, of course, to find my mom crying at the end of my bed in the middle of the night.

She told me about my uncle being in a motorcycle accident. I never told her that I already knew. 🤐🥺

The ink was still drying on my college diploma when I moved off to another city in pursuit of a career. It may, or may not, be relevant to mention that I've always been a deep sleeper. I have Hell getting to sleep. But, once I'm out... I've had pots and pans banged over my head and marbles from the freezer rolled in with me and never stirred.

Any road, as I say, I'd moved off a couple of hundred miles away from friends and family and everything I'd known chasing a paycheck. And since this little town rolled up the sidewalks when the sun went down, pretty much all I did was work, and come home to read, watch television, and listen to music. (The way we used to entertain ourselves before there were even computers in homes, much less our pocket.)

Well, and it is possibly germane to mention I spent a lot of time masturbating. No, seriously. A lot. I'd always had a pretty high drive, usually eight times per night just to get to sleep. But, it went through the roof. And... I was still having nocturnal emissions.

A couple of times, I woke up to find the television on, or the record player (yes, kids, the old vinyl records). I didn't really think very much about it at first. From the time I was a kid, and Mom would put me down for a nap with the radio on next to the crib, I'd always been better when music was playing. But, the "wet dreams" on top of the crazy amount of masturbation I was doing was driving me nuts.

A couple of months after moving there, the gal that would become my third ex-fiancee stayed over one night. And freaked the fuck out.

Everything had been shut down. And the record player turned on by itself. And started playing Witchy Woman by The Eagles.

Now, I was asleep. So, I can only repeat what I was told.

Jeanine got up to go in the living room to check the record player and turn it back off. When she came back, the covers were pulled down and the water bed was moving as if someone were riding me. Or, perhaps, I was just humping up into the air, with my cock so hard it was throbbing.

Not realizing I was asleep, she thought I was being playful and somehow hinting I wanted some more sex. So, she crawled on the bed and reached out to stroke me. And instead of hot as usual, my dick was actually cold to the touch. She thought it strange, but I was only her second lover. And we'd done a lot more than she had with her first.

She took me in her mouth...

And the record started playing "Witchy Woman" again in the other room. Not, I might mention, the first song on The Eagles Greatest Hits LP.

As I say, I was asleep and don't actually know anything, such as how many times this may have happened. But, she indicated that it happened several times where she would go in the other room to deal with the record player and come back to find me humping air again, and find my dick cold once more, even when it was leaking precum.

Until one trip, when she came back from turning the record player back off, and went to get on the bed, she swears she was pushed away. And not by me.

Startled, and a little frightened, she sat in the corner and watched wide-eyed as I went through a few position changes just giving it to the air for all I was worth. Until finally I came.

She told me all this the next morning. And, at her urging, I went down and asked about who was in the apartment before me.

Apparently, a young(ish) (college aged, but not in college) girl had committed suicide. And they hadn't been able to rent that particular apartment for six months because it was something of a local gossip item. Being from out of town, I didn't have the first idea. And since I hadn't asked, they hadn't said. (They did knock 25% off my rent without asking after they told me.)

I wasn't too bothered. But, Jeanine was. And started digging.

And I guess there were assertions the girl was not just promiscuous, but making her living that way. There were other oddments too (according to her), like an altar or a shrine when they found the body. It's been a long time, and as I say, I wasn't too bothered by it all, so it was all hearsay that I only half listened to.

I only stayed in that apartment for another three months, although I was still in town at that job for another year after that.

My ex-fiancee, though, swears that the girl's ghost followed me to the little house I moved to. And that every time she came to visit, every night after I fell asleep, the record player would start "Witchy Woman." And she would get out of bed and just sit in the recliner by the bed and just watch until the succubus was done.

Twenty years later, or thereabouts, when we were both married to other people, she got into contact with me again. And asked if I was still having my "visitor." I pointed out that if I ever really had, she must have gotten bored with me and moved on.

Of course, that devolved into a fight. When we'd been together, the only time we'd stopped fighting was when we were fucking. (And it wasn't always obvious which was which.)

But, I never noticed anything after that. And my late wife never said anything.

If you've made it this far, I'll leave it to you to decide if the ghost of a young girl became a succubus that followed me for over a year. Or if a twenty-three-year-old guy was masturbating fourteen plus times per day, fucking a fiance through another three or four climaxes, and then still having wet dreams so vivid and strong that my body was actually getting up and moving (in a dream state, mind you) in positions as if I had a lover beneath me.
 
I wouldn't call it creepy...just is. Some people are more connected to the edges of what people call real and they can see things others can not. It runs in the family.

And it suddenly dawns on me that it might be best not to finish that John Donne stanza. :cool:
