Your Supernatural Experiences

[Forster Keys]

Ok, I was told this story like a year ago so I might be missing some parts.

They told me that back when my Grandpa was a lad he would go around the village late at night. One night, very late, while he was still a kiddo he was walking through the village and there he saw 2 old men fighting each other and yelling at each other. Then from nowehre appeared his (dead) grandpa and told him "What are you doing here" and made him grab a sheep that was there and he passed away safely without the old men hitting him on the way. His grandpa also told him to never be out late on the village alone. And even when he was an elderly man before his death he would still not be alone at the village late at night.... so he wasnt making it up. So yeah, his dead grandpa protected him

Wow, yeah I've heard similar things in my family. But the sheep bit is odd.

[Faolinn]

People who want to believe shit probably make stuff up to convince themselves.

Y'know, like religion.

Congratulations on your ignorant ass of the day award.

I believe that they are also consindered protectors. Was gonna mention it on my post but wasnt sure.
Just made sure, as I thought there was a big group of sheep there. I think the old men were farmers

Got quite a few to my name.

First of all. One of the public parks near us (heathcote point) is the site of a former mental institution. There was a bunch of us there, few friends at midnight. We went to the bathroom, and the dryer in the ladies room went off. The ladies in there BOLTED out swearing their head off. Me and the other guys went in. The dryer went off in front of us without anyone touching it. It was one of the button operated ones, and the button was depressing without anyone touching it. I checked it all around for wires/connections out. Nothing except for the power cord.

The bell tower of the same site is also haunted. We saw a figure up the top, hanging in the air. I went to the bottom of the tower. The access up to the top was totally blocked. Thick dust around. Noone had been there. Then the figure actually faded and disappeared, and everyone felt really cold and weird.

The final one was in the vaults underneath Edinburgh. There's an old cobbler's ghost who has been reported in a room there. I got pictures of strange orbs in front of it, and the whiff of whiskey, even though there were no bottles of it. Freaked me out.

Sounds like fun. I have heard tons of stories never experienced one. And I have seen enough "Supernautral" to not wanna experience one. Well, I live in a big city so no ghost here. And I havent seen anything in my village for the past 15 years of my life

I don't go out of my way to get involved with the occult, but I do believe that spiritual-type experiences do exist, whether the cause be external or psychological, and am open to the idea that spirit-type entities exist. There was this one time, though…

I was on holiday in Barcelona, generally looking around and exploring as tourists do, when I found this interesting-looking magic shop on a side street. Generally, if I'm not going anywhere in particular on a schedule, I like checking out unusual places. So I went into this shop, which had the usual Romany style of decorations with a bit of creepy thrown in (superfluous dark fabrics and patterns, drippy candles etc.). If this was a film, the woman in the shop would have dramatically unveiled an ancient chest with some artifact or other in it, I would have looked away only for her to disappear, then, out of curiosity, opened the chest and things would have predictably gone rapidly downhill. Instead, she came back from a fag break and I bought one of the decks of tarot cards laid out near the counter.

However, when I went back outside, it had started to rain heavily and seemed almost like night-time. I walked around for a bit more, but felt increasingly uneasy and uncomfortable. Then, deciding to return the cards, I tried to find my way back to the shop, which for me takes a while at the best of times, but it seemed to take much longer than I would have expected to do so. When I got there, the shop had closed, and so I left the cards on the windowsill nearest the door. For the next few hours, I had a strong feeling that I had avoided something bad, though I didn't know what exactly. Whether this was simply superstitious weirdness I don't know.

...Y'know, like religion.

I always found hilarious how a lot of religious people label as "nonsense" the claims about supernatural not explicitly warranted by their own sect''s claims about supernatural.

Sounds like a "How it should have ended" movie parody

I've seen enough horror films to know not to keep the mysterious object of choice in the face of mounting creepiness.

And the next morning you wake up to find the cards next to you....

Read it. As supernatural and reports thereof are the argument, a parallel between religion-based claims about the supernatural and non-religious claims about the supernatural is quite on-topic.

Anyway, if you got a problem with it, go on and report me for spamming.

I dont want to report anyone, I just dont want this to turn into a religion thread, we have enough of those anyway.

So, any story?

There are plenty of alternate courses of action which would have made a better story, but at the potential expense of my soul

Supposedly the old farm house I work in is haunted. Since I live in a rural area converting old houses into makeshift offices is fairly common for your small or tightfisted businesses. We're a couple miles outside town surrounded by fields. It's an old house, wasn't wired for electricity when it was built and I think the plumbing was a latter addition as well. Every now and then you'll hear a loud thump from upstairs, or someone walking down the steps, or the toilet will flush of it's own accord (when you have to hold down the handle when flushing it normally).

I've heard the thumping, but never the doors opening or someone walking down the stairs. I don't buy into it myself but the place is friggin creepy at night.

Do you work there at night to? That would be interesting. And is there a backstory on why it is haunted?

No but I'm on call 24 hours a day 5 days a week, sometimes I have to come out at night when someone has forgotten something. As for backstory, don't know. No one is really sure who the house originally belonged to.

[Yaltabaoth]

If this thread is supernatural, will it haunt me if I post in it?
Only one way to find out...

(Who am I kidding, every post I make on NSG haunts me)

[Benuty]

I always found the mothman legends of west virginia to be rather interesting among the jersey devil and other North American supernatural creatures.

[Kaamnaayein]

I can understand not wanting this to be a religion (or lack thereof) thread, but there is more to the idea of the "supernatural" than ghost stories.

[Vatican XIII]

if you want to experience supernatural, visit my country (Philippines) and stay at Corregidor. After the WW II, there are a lot of supernatural happening on this island.

If that's all you can take, you better stay out of NSG entirely.

Oh look, it is that thing I made clear in the OP with B and LARGE letters that I did not want to happen..... it happened

It's start with an "A", but that's beside the point.

I'm free to give my opinion on the matter. I can't give you any examples because I don't believe in it. Case closed.

So you can either choose to throw a temper tantrum or accept that sometimes you can't always get what you want.

[Yaltabaoth]

ATTENTION: This thread is not about wether the events are real or not but whether you have experience or heard of any. This is not going to be a debate of whether "Supernatural" things exist. It is ok to put your opinion on the posted story though (obviously)

Can you clarify which underlined "B" word you are referring to?

Bold in this case.

[Torcularis Septentrionalis]

Well, of course there's the long story of what caused me to come to Islam, and I guess that's fairly supernatural.

But I have two other stories. When I was five, my great-grandmother passed away. A few weeks later, I was outside playing and I looked back to the porch by the side door of the house and I saw my great-grandmother waving to me.

Then there was the time I was in school, and I was teaching the Freshmen how to read military maps correctly. I was sitting at the table, almost against the wall, so no one was on my right side. Then I felt a really bad pain on my leg, so I went to the bathroom. When I looked, there was a big, red handprint on my leg that had gone through my jeans.
