Creepy Unexplainable things that have happened to you.

I thank you profusely for this because I've heard similar things and being reminded of it makes me feel better about hearing all these stories. I like making sense of the supernatural, and having other people confirm my beliefs that it's all made up by people's brains is nice.

Besides, I'm going to sleep soon and I regret coming back to this thread. But you helped.

You're most welcome. Silly people claim that Science takes the mystery and the wonder out of life, but it's quite the opposite! It's absolutely amazing that all of our brains are interpreting one objective reality the whole time and coming up with entirely subjective versions of events. I'd get into a long epistemological soliloquy about the nature of truth and whether or not the brain can ever truly come to grips with objective reality it doctors to make understandable, but you seem like a thoughtful fellow and I shouldn't like to keep you from your sleep!

Every time I eat Indian food my throat swells up and I cant breathe, I think it is a curse b/c I was mean to an old teacher who was Indian.

I think it's called an allergy.

I agree, the human mind is more interesting than ghosts. Ghosts are boring. They do the same thing all the time.

And that is the one issue with science, that it brings up philosophical questions that religion and other non-science beliefs easily answer. Great, now I'm going to be thinking about the meaning of life all night...

Then again I usually do anyway. Not your fault. And even though you're probably aware of this, you sound very intelligent. I like that. You are being added to my friends list.

Thanks! You too, you'll most certainly be accepted. I like an enquiring mind and I'm always happy to debate philosophy! In regards to:

It seems to tie back in to what we were discussing earlier about the subjective and the objective. Religion and all other superstitions just make the fundamental misunderstanding in presuming that they have a direct link with objective truth, that the minds of their preachers and believers have a direct grasp of reality. They make reality simple by making themselves infallible, by refusing to acknowledge opposing beliefs. Science takes the direct opposite stance and goes full-out fallibilist, constantly challenging theorems that were thought settled.

Because of this dichotomy between the two superstition will always be inferior as a truth finding device to science. It's just a descriptive fact that we each have a subjective take on the objective reality (presuming such a thing exists), when two people are looking at the same horizon but one's sensory organs are impaired by heat exhaustion and dehydration, one will see reality more clearly than the other and one may begin fabricating objects as in a mirage. The only way that the mirage afflicted person can ensure the veracity of his knowledge is to accept his fallibility and check his version of events with others to see if their versions conflict. This is why it's so foolish when people maintain that they 'saw' an angel, or a demon or anything else and then make the further leap that such a thing necessarily exists in objective reality just because it exists in their own subjective reality, that's an unjustified leap.

Once i was just lying in bed, and suddenly through the curtains there came a huge green flash. When I looked out there was this gummy pineapple lying on the dirt. Now, i hadn't had a gummy anything for weeks, so this was pretty bogus. No tricks either, because everyone else was inside and i checked. So I threw this creepy pineapple over the fence. It was over, or so i thought.
The following night, I decided to have a look around outside, play with dogs etc. when somehow, I look at where a pineapple shaped hole in the dust should have been. Lo and behold, a gummy pineapple. In the exact same position. When I looked over the fence, there was a gummy pineapple lying in the gutter. And there was no way someone was throwing gummy pineapples over the fence because it was in EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION!
Also, once I saw someone walk out of my room. It didn't cast a shadow, and when I looked out there was no-one there.
And I really hate it when I hear footsteps at night.

My geography homework was put in my bag at 10:38 am. at 10:45 am I left the house and went to geography. At 11:15 am, the teacher asked for the homework and it wasn't there! ( I wish we could do italics in this) At some time between 10:38 and 11:15, it vanished utterly.

When presenting this to my irate Geography teacher, I should have got marks for creativity. I got detention.

Other than that, something was disembowelled outside my window last night, and I thought I heard a child's voice asking for help. My sister in the room next door had just stubbed her toe, and it was bleeding a bit.

I bust my own myths.

Sounds like you just lost your Geo homework. Maybe your irate Geography teacher thought you were making a crappy excuse or just being a smart alec.

Well there was this one time, where i was in bed, it was around 2-3, i was sure i heard my mum tell me to get up for school, so i got up, had a shower, had breakfast and went down stairs to watch tarzan ( which i did every morning before school) and then realised it was around 3-4. My mum never called me.

You didn't even realise that it was still dark when you had breakfast? It's still pretty dark around that time, unless you live somewhere where dawn is at 2:00AM. Or maybe you live in a windowless house.

Is it odd if sometimes, out of the corner of my eye I see a sort of black fog hugging the floor. Whenever I look it disappears and just so you know, no, it's not that usual motion blur that happens when you turn your head, i know what that's like and it's nothing like the black fog; the fog will actually stay there until I focus my attention to it and sometimes it will disappear around corners. I've no visual impairments (20/20 vision) and I don't drink that often. Any clues?

Oh, and as a secondary event, when i was 7 me and a friend of mine were playing at the little playground on my apartment complex. We both heard a buzzing noise and looked over at a nearby ditch an, to our horror, saw a Bee the size of a bird flying slowly over it. Now I'd normally dismiss this as I did the giant slug that I saw when I was two but both of us saw it and continued to talk about it over the next few years that I lived there. Any clues?

or maybe you're allergic

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Eh, All mine have explanations. Scariest at the time was when i was having surgery, and even though I was unconscious I could kind of feel them in there. That was the most fucked up dream I have EVER had. It still keeps me up at night.

Thats a disturbing thought.

 

[raptorkitten]

I tend to dream things before they happen, or see them happen right in front of me without actually being where it is happening.

 

[raptorkitten]

That is actually common, Indian food is particularly spicy.

 

[rangerchandller]

I once opened a can of soup I bought, and it was empty. I just sat down and stared at that god damn can for thirty minutes, just me and the can, staring each other down. I couldn't think of anything to think about, so I jast sat and stared at the can. I went out and bought more soup, and filled the empty can with the soup.

THE END OF DAYS IS FORETOLD BY THE COMING OF THE EMPTY SOUP. KNOW FEAR​

It didn't help, and I didn't eat the soup, but I no longer buy soup of that brand. I still have that can somewhere, although it seems to have crept away.

I SAW THE HIDDEN MESSAGE!

Ok, this wasn't unexplained but it was creepy. I was listening to music on my computer, it was getting late so I finished listening to my current track, shut off Media Player and went to turn off my computer. And creepy music started playing, specifically the start of Haunted by Evanescence. There were no applications open at all, just the windows desktop. And creepy music.

Turns out Media Player had failed to shut down its background process and just kept running my playlist. But it was bloody creepy, especially when I was standing there staring at my computer and the lyrics said "I KNOW YOU'RE STILL THERE!".

This happened 5 years ago.

I was standing at the computer...at 3 in the morning listening to music and browsing the internet. The speakers went silent and I couldn't hear nothing for the first few seconds. Tried to fix it but then I heard something(from the speakers). It was like this voice was saying something but it was very static so I couldn't understand a thing. After about 3 minutes of that I started hearing the music again and everything was back to normal.

Also when I was 10 I went at my grandparents to sleep there. So night comes, I go to bed and I hear someone trying to open the door. My grandfather hears it too, get's out of bed, opens the door and checks to see if any prick fells lucky tonight. He saw nothing, so we went back to sleep. 1 minute later someone tried to open the door again. And again my grandfather checks and no one was there. Then when walking back to bed I swear I saw someone at the window looking inside the house.

Blinds where pulled over, and its still pretty dark at 7, plus i was a kid.

A girl was hitting on me and I was interested before we realised we had the same last name and were not so distantly related. We both immediately denied we'd been flirting and walked away rapidly. Now top that for creepiness.

Creepy, but not unexplainable. This is for things that are all paranormal-ish and stuff.

Anyway, mine was when I was younger and I lived in my old house. One night I woke up all hot, sweaty and terrified of nothing in particular. I was hallucinating and could see all kinds of weird stuff on my pillow. A short while later I could see two boys running up and down my room, throwing things at each other. But the weirdest part is that I could hear them. Their shouting, the things that they threw smashing. I called for my dad and as soon as he came they disappeared and everything went quiet again.

EDIT: OH OH, I have another one! Once I was at my friend's old house and he's convinced the ghost of a girl haunted that house, and that he could tell where she was at any time. He said occasionally in her route, she would walk through his room. I got my camera phone ready, and he would tell me where to take a picture when she next passed through. After a few minutes he raised his hand and went 'hang on...there, now' and pointed over his shoulder. I took a picture and, sure enough, there was the blue outline of a young girl, maybe smiling. Weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.
