What's the strangest thing that happened to you?

[Nemo]

I was at another forum and a guy out of the blue asked this question. When it comes to Coast, it is always my favorite topic - true stories from people without books!!!!!

Here is what the guy wrote down. I think it is one of the best I have ever heard. Do you have any ideas about it? Want to add one of your own?

-----------------------

so tonight on the dogwalk I was thinking about larger issues - like this strange happening that took place in the fall of 1983 (or 82) -

I was taking a couple day sojourn to the gnome cabin a few freinds and I were constructing on public land in the Columbia Gorge. I decided to camp at this great overlook that was about 6 miles from the trailhead where there is a view northward to the great state of Washington and a precipitous drop off about 3500 feet vertical above the river. This was just below the old Nesmith Point lookout, for those familiar with the area. I was alone, and in 40 or so trips up here I had never seen another soul on the upper part of this trail. Settling in with herbacious pleasures and dinner I was enjoying the approaching twilight scene.

Down the trail comes a guy in mechanics coveralls, ambling lazily and carrying one of those grey dome-shaped thermos lunchboxes (the kind with the thermos in the lid). No pack and wearing those brown oxford shoes with the pointed scrollwork on the top - like everyones dad wore in the 60's. This being the only view for a couple of miles along this part of the trail, the guy sits down about three feet away, facing me, and opens the box. Keep in mind it is almost dark and we are a 3 hour walk to the nearest road.

He's got some mild lacerations on his face and hands and a oblong face with tangled and matted black hair and beard. A bit of a resemblence to Osama actually. He unwraps a PB & J from his box and begins eating - not uttering a sound. For some reason, I wasn't inclined to talk either and we sat there looking at each other and the view for about 20 minutes. Finally it was beyond twilight and what I call "getting real dark" the moon was not coming up until 3am or so and I began seriously wondering about the whole deal. I carried a 6" lock blade but it was in my pack - the guy looked a little wild, but didn't appear to be packing, although with the overalls it was hard to tell. We were both seated less that four feet from a unsurvivable cliff and no one would be up there for weeks, maybe months.

After he finished his lone sandwich, he turned to the view and just stared off towards Mt. St. Helens for anothe 15 minutes or so. At about dark-thirty which is around 9 or so that time of year, without any drama, he closed up his lunchbox and strode on down the trail.

I'm guessing he was a con on the lam, but that is a hell of a ways to go to hide, the lunchbox thing was weird too.

Weird best describes it, and the weirdness of it didn't even strike me until a few years later. The weirdest thing I've experienced.

Anybody else? Lets have 'em!

[VOguy]

Other than the time I saw the U,F.O. in SE Michigan?

Probably the time my friend and I found a manuscript that talked about aliens and the research at Wright Pat AFB. The fellow on the plane fell asleep and dropped it between the seats,

[Nemo]

Hey VO, I don't know those stories, could you elaborate? They sound VERY interesting.

[VOguy]

I don't have the paper, but it was a manuscript of some kind that was written by a very old researcher. My impression was that he was trying to set the record for what he did in his research.

As I recall there were things in there that we all suspect, but there was some information (a lot of it medical and scientific) about ETs, human, how we are evolving, etc.

Jim made a copy of it before returning it to the fellow with a note saying, "I found this in our plane and thought you might want it". When I read it, it sent chills up my spine, and I got one of those "spider senses" like I get when things are right. I'll have to see if I can get a copy from Jim again. I don't know if I should post it. It's quiet lengthy and somewhat graphic.

[WolfPa]

Last night, around 1 AM I was awoke by the sound of my fan dying as the power went out. I went outside to check and see if it was just me, or was the whole town out? Upon reaching the road I sawe the whole town was dark. Now mind you, it was a full moon and clear as day out. But the stranthig wa al the street lights, which are on a seprate power supply were also out.

The whole thing lasted about 2 hours, and when it was over, all the clocks with backup batteries were 4 hours behind.

Great thread Nemo :biggthump :hug:

I'll have to think on this one...I 've had more than a bunch of strange/unusual things that have happened to me, in the "more than unusual" space.

I'll think on this and be back to chime in, for sure :)

VOG, you must ABSOLUTELY post this paper!! Anything that falls to the ground is fair play! We don't need to know the name of the doctor, but we do know (no, we deserve) the facts.

What about your own UFO sighting. I'd like to hear about that, too.

[Nemo]

Well, when I was a young man I was a Mormon Missionary. One day my partner and I went to an apartment building to see this sort of odd older lady who had visited our church. When we were standing outside her door, we could hear people talking and laughing like a party was going on. When she opened the door, there was no one there but her and no TV or radio. Nothing. It was really weird.

[VOguy]

VOG, you must ABSOLUTELY post this paper!! Anything that falls to the ground is fair play! We don't need to know the name of the doctor, but we do know (no, we deserve) the facts.

I'll see if my friend Jim still has it. One of the problems might be to get it translated from paper to electronic mode. It's a copy of the publication, and the last time I tried to OCR it, my HP scanner just gave me junk. I don't know if it would be possible to put it in the document scanner at work and make a PDF out of it, as I don't know how to post it in a message.

Truth be known, some of the material is dark enough that I really don't want to be associated with it. For one reason, those who may have not wanted it published could become very vengeful. I don't think they know a copy was made. If they did find out a copy was made, there is a trail back to my friend.

Perhaps it might be best to see if it could be made into a PDF and shared via a P.M. I think you know me well enough now that I don't get rattled too much by stuff. But some of the content just plain spooks the living $hit out of me. If it's true, and I have a feeling there is some basis for it to be true, it might explain some things.

It's kind of like that rhetorical question. IF an asteroid was about to hit the earth, would you want to know about it a year ahead, or just let it happen in the wink of an eye. Personally, I would like my last words to be, "What the fu......"



What about your own UFO sighting. I'd like to hear about that, too.

OK, if I'm doing this right, it was This Post (http://imaginativeworlds.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223920&postcount=18).

[Mcnowhere]

I posted this story a year ago, but here it is again for those who may not have been here then.

When I was 11 we lived with my Grandparents in Ramsgate, England the summer just prior to coming to Canada. She lived about 2 miles from the beach. My brother and I used to take the bus to the beach every day and Grandma would give us money to ride the bus home again. One day we decided to spend the bus money on the beach side amusement park and walk home. The walk home took us through the country side and we had to walk across a bridge over railway tracks that passed through farm land. The bridge was just an extension of the road and had a gradual incline to the top. As we neared the top, we heard voices singing. The voices sounded like a women's choir, maybe nuns. When we got to the top, the singing voices became very loud and were all around us. We stood and listened for a few minutes and tried to figure out where the voices were coming from but nothing made sense as there were no houses or buildings of any kind near the bridge. There was a beautiful sunset at the time and it was eerie.

My brother who was a year younger,became scared and ran down the other side of the bridge. When I caught up with him he said "It's OK Jen, it's just the angels singing". We told the whole family when we got home and nobody could explain how that could have happened.

Four years ago I visited England and specifically went back to that bridge on a trip to Ramsgate and I still have no logical answer as to where those voices could have come from.

[Nemo]

Thanks for those stories VOG and McNo. Sure makes you wonder....

McNo, that is really a beautiful story. Do you ever mention it to you brother these days? What are his views, and did this change his world in anyway? Is this why you are interested in the paranormal?

[Mcnowhere]

I loved your experience too Nemo. Very eerie indeed!

My brother and I have talked about it a few times over the years. He doesn't say much anymore as I think he is still confused and has never known what to make of it.

It didn't have a big impact on me as a kid . It was just another one of those mysteries that kids encounter on a daily basis, though not usually of the paranormal kind. I was in my 20's when I started to get interested in the paranormal and I thought back to the angels on the bridge and said to myself "Hey, wait a minute, that was impossible wasn't it?" It was then that I realized the full impact of what we had experienced. I have always treasured the memory!

[Hadriana]

I've had a ton, but the one that sticks out doesn't even fit with any framework that I have. I was going to rest one day - i wasn't sleepy but my feet hurt, so I was going to lay down, and as I was laying down, I saw like...a pop of blue? and I heard one of my hairclasses fall on the ground 2 feet in front of me. I swear it materialized. A hairclass? Out of thin air?

WTF I still haven't come to terms with that one.

Shortly before that though, I had got a David Icke book that i just was not allowed to read. I mean - it kept disappearing. For instance, I know for a fact that I put it on the nightstand and did not touch it, yet it was gone for 2-3 weeks. I happened to find it behind the tv. It wasn't like it fell off, it had to have been put there. Well I found it, and I sat it ON the bed, to read, and it disappeared again. Like, 15 minutes later and no one went in that room and it was gone. That time I found it somewhere else weird.

So it made me wonder if some spirit was taking my stuff. I was really wondering about that and asking why I couldn't keep up with anything. Then the next thing I know, I witness a hairclass fall out of thin air. I was NOT wearing it.

Hmm interesting, thanks for sharing.:veryhappy

It reminds me a little of the time that I discovered that some dinner plates disappeared from my apartment a year or so ago. I never found them and no one was ever over visiting ... and yet they were simply gone!

Sometimes I wonder if maybe I was sleep walking (which as far as I know I've never done before) and maybe took them out and threw them in the dumpster, I don't know.:shock:

I've also had it happen a number of times where I've dropped something and it was nowhere to be found, as if it went into another dimension.

[Nemo]

I'm glad this thread is still around! I love hearing these stories. Pretty odd Had and BP.

I have two things that happen to me on a regular almost daily basis - synchronicity that I have written about before. its a constant thing. And the other thing is what I call 'cat attraction.' This is where cats go nuts when I'm around and want to be with me. If I am walking down a street, they will run out and lay down in front of me or rub on my leg. My wife has seen this happen a dozen times. I often go for lone night walks and cats come running where ever I go. I wish I had this magic for females.

Would this have been in the late 60's, VO? My husband and his buddy were at the drive-in, waiting for the feature to start and saw a "something" flitting around the sky. It was moving in such a way that it was obviously not an airplane.

Seems there were all kinds of sightings in that region around that time.

I've seen two in my lifetime, both of which I know were not conventional aircraft or known objects that could fly. For some reason the area of Monroe, Lenawee, and Hillsdale county (Michigan) was awful hot for UFO activity. There may have been activity over Lucas County (Ohio), but I think the city lights and trees often keep people from seeing things they would normally see out in the fields of the county.

Besides the UFO issue, the only other weirdness that I've discovered was the EVP stuff and dealings with some spooks in the government. Personally, I'll take the EVP and UFOs over the spooks.

[Marlantis Buzz]

Answer to question...discovering THE CODE of the DEVINE GRIDE...it is real...it changed my life...it's addicting...if worked wrong it is the dark side...the devil...but to an untrained eye the devil side may seem wonderful...one must understand that their particular DNA make up responds a certain way to their experience dealing with the Code than that of another. There is good and bad but learning from scratch will put one thru various changes until one figures out what I've just said. If only several years ago someone would have told me this using my words above, I would have reported my experiences differently...more professional...not been upset so much with those out there in THE KNOW. Now they stand out W/O saying they know in their own way of showing in hint that they are in the know. My research has been on hold for over a year,,,not knowing what to do next if anything...I've been warned to lay off certain topics in such a way that I had no choice yet at the same time felt rewarded that my work was in the ball park by getting such surgical attention so to speek. I've had no choice but to yeld accordingly and know that I'll know why some day more than that I've figured out thus far. It's real tough knowing answers to ancient questions and not being allowed to update matters. It's more frustrating to hear a guest speak up on certain topics I tought were not for public as yet as they are touting their lastest book. Then one starts to wonder if the network they are involed in has created a control to thier finacial gain over such info AND have the ability to silent others (in the know) that weren't invited. They need not worry about me. I don't want to get involved. Living out in the country, having a big garden, numerious quail in the yard, trusting friends about, and a over blowen root cellar allows me finally to sleep better than those cumberson years I've been thru learning what sometimes I wished I'd never learned.

One thing for sure, this forum places a calm in my life because of the professional level of it's members, leadership and goals.

What does bother me is that those who write for various shows can read our stuff as well as that of other forums alike using info/thoughts/ideas of others for their gain and not mention where they aquired their material from.

Okay.....so ah... how was your day?

[Topper]

I just can't pick out one from all my experiences .... to me none of its abnormal.

[Eyes Wide Open]

I've actually had several experiences that would rank with my strangest experience :naughty:

I'll choose only one though:eek5:

A couple of years ago, I was sitting in the middle of my bed, reading while the television played off to the side. The lamp was on as was the overhead light....ok so I wasn't having a green night :salook: BUTTTTTTT

I looked up and something flew from the hallway into my bedroom. My first instinct was to smack it like a bug..ok so yeah I kill bugs, I DO NOT relocate them outside :salook:. So....this thing flew up about 2 feet in front of my and above my head. It was sphere like, about as big as if you made a circle with your thumbs and forefingers, maybe 4 inches, but seemed to have horizontal wings beating back and forth, but as quickly as a hummingbird so that you didn't really see them probably creating the image of a sphere like appearance and it seemed to have an intelligent core. It moved in a helicopter like way.

After I tried to smack it, I realized it was no bug, I stared at it. It moved back like it was considering me too and again, it felt intelligent. As I stared at it, it began to fly away from me across the room. By then, I was shouting, "Wait. Come back. I didn't mean to hit you." That didn't help, and I sat there in complete shock as it flew away and straight through my bedroom wall:aargh4:

[goldbaker88]

Who watched the paranormal activity? do you think it's real?

[Topper]

my stories would fill volumes on the strangeness I've encountered.

[Hadriana]

my stories would fill volumes on the strangeness I've encountered.

Yeah, really mine would too. I guess I list that hairclass thing because up to that time, I never, ever considered that something could be dematerialized and materialized like that.


Brownies I think...NOW. It was just weird, because I didn't really have anything to reference such as that with.

Darn, I sound like Luna Lovegood.

[MuseNoir]

I've had many.

Here's one..

I was about 17 or 18 years old - up late in the living room of the house I grew up in. It was a hot summer night, so the sliding glass door was open in the living room. Just the screen was closed, so I could hear outside clearly. I heard my name whispered in an urgent tone -- 3 times, slowly, and it was close, like right at the screen door. I froze and then listened and listened - nothing after that. I turned off the light so I could see outside, and went to the screen. I realized that the ivy was growing all the way up to the door, and that I had not heard it at all - meaning.. nobody was out there. Nobody that walked through all that ivy, anyway.

Freaking scary!!

That gave me goose bumps Muse!!! :bigeyes:

[VOguy]

I've related this to another member, but my work in EVPs started trying to disprove it based on one of Art Bells earliest shows on the subject.

I consider myself a pro with audio equipment, and know how the stuff works physically and electrically. So I could rationalize things like media imprint, interference, pick up of radio communications, etc.

But the first time I heard something on the recording was the most strangest and eye-opening time of my life. Changed my whole view on the premise of afterlife.

I'm still at a loss how it happens, and I don't know if I'll ever understand it, but I DO know it exists.

[MuseNoir]

VO, what did you hear on that recording? (If you don't mind sharing..)

[VOguy]

VO, what did you hear on that recording? (If you don't mind sharing..)

Voices, and in particular, voices that responded to the people whom I was with asking questions. In call honesty, it scared the s___ out of me.

[MuseNoir]

With your knowledge of media and recording, I do trust your results. The EVP stuff IS really frightening, and I can't imagine how much more it would be to experience it first hand. It certainly does make you rethink things.

[VOguy]

Muse, the most frightening thing for me is the fact that I don't know how it happens. And the clarity suggests that the voice is within 5 to 15 feet from the microphone.

I honestly don't know how it happens, but I do know the integrity of the equipment, and I know the artifacts of interference, etc.

So I sit here tonight telling you that these voices were close to me, I didn't see them, and didn't hear them in real time. The voice DID respond to the question the fellow I was with asked.

How? I don't know. But I know what I heard, and I believe it to be real. Or lets say 99.9% real. I'll leave the .1% out there because there could be some logical explanation that I don't realize, but I'm telling you that something like this opens your eyes in ways you don't imagine!

[MuseNoir]

Here is another one I havent thought about in some years...

1983 or 84.. was living in the house I grew up in... same house as the one in my last post. My bedroom was on the side of the house, and along the side of the house was a narrow sidewalk and a fence. Overgrown plants, hard to walk through etc. Never used, basically.

In the afternoon, I was in my bedroom and heard someone walking down the sidewalk. I didn't want to look out the window in case they saw me, so I waited until the steps went past my window, then I looked out. I saw a glimpse of red, and a branch at the corner of the house swaying as if it had been brushed.

I went to the kitchen, where I would have a clear view of someone coming around the corner into the backyard - the completely walled backyard. Nobody. Nothing. I waited. Nothing.

Was ready to forget it as an active imagination, but then thought about that swaying branch, and remembered: I had forgotten my keys the day before, and had broken into the backdoor to get in. And I had hit my shoulder on that branch. And I had been wearing a red sweater. And it was the same time in the afternoon, but 24 hours earlier.

And I realized that I had just seen myself.

Maybe.

Right?

Would love people's thoughts on this...

[Sevant]

I know this thread is older, not used so much but I am fairly new and while my experiences are vast and many, The loudest and longest duration of strange was in the late 70's into the early eighties in a house that I grew up in,

Originally it was a two story house, but there was a fire and was then converted to flat roof, The house had three bedrooms, 1 bath and kitchen, dining rm and living room, The basement was larger than the house with a full access car pit that went to garage. The yard had three cherry trees, a purple plum tree, a pear tree, an apple tree and a red plum tree.

Strange things happened all the time, my mother loved plants, she had them everywhere and of every variation. She had a split leaf philodendron that literally grew to the refrigerator, she an oriental ivy that was said to be nearly impossible to get it bloom, it did there. I could here when my father needed me, I would show up and he would always say, You showed up just in time, I could use your help. I always knew when the phone would ring and let my mom know before hand. We had a improperly bred calico cat that was short haired and as ugly as sin, only a mother could love it, we would let him roam outside and when he was ready to come in, he would knock on the door, when it was time for me to the dishes, he would climb up my back and sit on shoulder to watch the water...he never jumped off, or in, he watched every day until the water was gone. I could hear when my father arrived, we had two large mud puddles in gravel before you drove up to the driveway, then once he got out we had a huge concrete porch that consisted of seven steps, then the opening and closing the hollow door, to enter the living room, then through the doorway in the kitchen and he set down his coffee cup and thermos turned right and went down the four stairs to the back door and walked about ten feet till he opened his garage. I didn't see him come in, So i went to the garage to say hi, it was locked, so I went to the front and his car wasn't there so I went back to my book, about fifteen minutes later I heard it again, he was home. I had a hamster that lived for about three years, most of the time they live only a year or two. we would be sitting having dinner and we could hear the doors close, get up to look and they would all be open and normal.

And even now, as I age in years, I look and feel nearly fifteen years younger. Something thrived in that house, it affected everything from strange animal behavior, to plants, to premonition to a heightened sense, it never struck me until I left that house, I have never experienced a drastically energized place since.

Have you ever heard of the book "skinwalker ranch" by George Knapp????
The book discusses a specific point geographically on the earth prone to strange occurances.

Some folks think there is an energy grid that circles the earth. A good explanation here ENERGY GRID GAIA SPIRIT (http://www.biogeometry.org/page34.html)
