We had this legend in the village I grew up in, which was fairly isolated on the East coast of Iceland (Husavik, if your wondering)

Every December, when the sun doesn’t rise at all for an entire week, there was a legend that at night, near the bay, the ghost of the SS El Grillo would appear, and that it would have an eerie green glow. I personally never saw it, but many people, including those who would never lie, absolutely swore they saw it, and when they brought up a camera to take a picture, it would just not show up on the screen

I had a dream once, when I was younger, where my mother turned into a Cyberman from Doctor Who and kidnapped me, then ran through a mirror like Alice in Wonderland or something, and ended up falling from the sky above central Mumbai.

TL;DR i saw a panther just vibing on top of my shed as a kid. Never told anybody until i was eighteen. Nobody believes me apart from my cryptid enthusiast dad. Similar sightings 10-ish miles away but nothing in the immediate area

Where did it happen?


Southwest England and that's as much as i'll tell you :p :p :p :p

I guess it doesn't have to be confined to one county. Devon, Somerset or Dorset maybe, as they're pretty close.

I think big cats exist, but as very small feral population (exotic animals were a BIG thing in the UK around the 1960's) instead of some ancient beast.

Its a tall shed, easily 9ft high. I know some dogs can be trained to climb that, but honestly I don't think it was a dog. Hell, I could be imagining the whole thing. I've always had some very vivid dreams in the past and i've gotten real life and dreamland mixed up a few times, and i've had plenty of nightmares. None of them ever translated into a day to day fear though.

Whichever way, trying to find out mysteries gives a meaning to life. That's why I quite like conspiracies.

I know exactly what you mean about the dream thing. I also had a dream I was an 11 year old boy named Bophine in a slum in Kenya. Funny thing is though, I'd never heard the name "Bophine" ever in my life.

I was once relaxing against a tree in the woods (back country camping trip) and a White Tailed Deer came up to me and sniffed my foot before walking off in no big hurry, then, shortly after a Wild Turkey strolled through my campsite, then I heard a scratching noise in the tree I was relaxing against, it was a Porcupine...I could have opened a zoo. I was obviously not considered a threat :)

Once I went to an Arab wedding and my mom's ex boyfriend got super drunk, tied his tie around his head and began raving out. He was the only drunk person there and his brother and sister lost their cool with him at home for all but embracing monke at the wedding.

I got some videos from then I believe. I'm at my job right now but when I go on my lunch I can post them.

I once dreamt that me and my dad ran into one of his colleagues at our local supermarket and we ended up going to his place and I played with their daughters in a house with a spiral staircase. Spent all my life thinking that was real, until i mentioned it in passing to my dad and he had no idea what i was talking about. Lol

Once I went camping with some friends, 10 to be exact, and after about a week away from civilization one of them tried to kick down the door to the shower stall at the campsite while the other guy was inside.

Then a few nights later I heard one guy named Aaron say "wanna come over to my tent and play cards Jacob?" It was like 1 AM.

I went camping once, with 2 others. I, for the life of me, can't sleep in tents, so it was like 2am and I was still awake, and then all of a sudden I heard a "Hee hee!" coming from outside, a Michael Jackson-like one. I shit myself. Everyone else I was with were asleep, but got woken up by it. This wasn't a campsite or anything, it was in the middle of Wales, far from anyone else. Still don't know what it was.

If you want to do something like this, try providing more of a framework than just "Has anything strange or weird happened to you?" What are we talking about, supernatural? Strange coincidences? Drawing to an inside straight and getting it? And it's considered polite, at the very least, for the person starting the thread to go first.

Oh, and you misspelled "experienced."

Some 30 years ago I found myself teaching the Monty Python 'Lumberjack Song' to a group of pygmies around a campfire in the Ituri Rainforest in what's now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but was then still Zaire.

A few weeks later, I was woken up one morning in the south central Central African Republic by a group of young schoolchildren singing 'Kookaburra' outside my tent. They must have thought I was Australian; they were obviously mistaken.
