Im talking, ghosts, goblins, aliens!

Slyslantedone has a cracker, hopefully shell post it on here as well.

the freakiest thing that happened to me isnt that freaky. My Dad died when I was 16, and since then Ive always felt his prescence. One day when i was 17 there was a really bad storm and the chimney stack - a massive solid stone job on top of a block of flats - fell into my bedroom! I felt the urge to stand up and change the CD, like he wanted me to, and just as i did a huge stone block arrived on the bed where I had been sitting! I was not impressed....coulda been worse though!

So who wants to better my story?!

Years ago one of my grandfather's best friends took a photo of his family using a tripod and automatic shutter. The picture was of himself, his wife and their new baby who was in a high chair.

When he got the photo developed, the baby wasn't in the chair - there was just a blob where the baby had been. It was really strange so he showed my grandfather and other people the photo.

Three months later, the baby died.

reincarnate - thats freaky! hmmm.

Shy, youre gonna have to expand on that! is that your Grandfather?

Okay, here is another one for Sus!

When I was stationed in Germany in Hontheim, our military base was actually a Nazi post during the war. During the spring the locals told us just to be careful if the fog rolled in. We kept asking what they were talking about but they were very closed lipped about the whole thing. Luckily, our janitor was "Americanized" and shared all kinds of secrets about the base and the little town. Supposedly, the Nazi's tortured people on our base and in this cave we would hike down to during training. The folks in the town were embarassed about it but the place was known to have bad things happen in the spring.

So, of course me being the new meat assigned to the base guess who got guard duty in the spring on the missile site. So I am sitting in my little shack watching the fence line. I heard someone shaking the fence so I go to see what had happened. I thought one of those long ear rabbits was trying to climb under the fence again. I look and there is nothing but the fence is still shaking. I am looking around to see what is making it shake and all of a sudden a woman in a white dress appears. She is trying to climb the fence.

I am standing there frozen looking at this transparent woman. She get's about halfway up the fence and the Nazi guards appear and grabs her by her feet and began to pull her off the fence. They drag her back across the grass and then they disappear. The look on her face I will never forget. She was digging her nails in the grass and screaming. I ran back to the shack and radio for one of the guys to get their ass up the hill. Mind you no one told me about the place and all the shit that went on their until after I had saw it for myself. I told the guys what I saw demanded that they get me out of there! I was armed with my M-16 and forty-five rounds that I intended to use on anyone alive or dead if I saw anything else move or float by my shack. I was freaked out. The guys were more scared of the commander getting on them for me firing my weapon so they switched me. Thank you Jesus for that! That poor woman the "Woman in White" soul was being tortured every night during the spring.

Yes I did see my great grandfather along with my older sister. I was thirteen and she was fifteen. He died in their house in the their bedroom. My great grandmother would wait up in her bed just to see his spirit at night. I think that is why she never married. She was happy just to see him every night when he went to the bathroom. He had on his white pajamas and even flushed the toilet and put the lid down when he was done. The noise is what had woke me up the first time I heard it. The creaking down the hallway and the seat hitting the bowl when it was dropped. It was way out and seeing him get in the bed with her. The covers went up like he was getting in under them and then over his body. Then the covers went down as he disappeared.

Hey Madame! Share! What would you do if you saw a ghost or what did you do when you saw one?

My oh my your Germany story is freaky! God youve seen a lot! I think you just get some people that are maybe open to things like that or attract them, dont you? I dont think I attract it!

I was wondering where you went! Yes some folks are open to certain things but I have asked and prayed that my loved ones do not appear to me. It freaks me out. So far so good! My fam has told me all my life that I am just like my great grandmother and I have her gifts. I am trying to trade them in for some new gifts like her ability to cook and mix herbs. I can do without the Ghostbuster traits!

Sorry, for once I actually got given a job to do! lol, Im on a work placement.

Yeah, gifts are wierd, I can be a bit psychic at times, actually I can be freakily psychic at times! nothing important though, just stuff like what someones going to say, what songs going to come on (my specialty), or whether somethings gonna be good or bad. Ive decided its something that I can tune more as i get older, so im working on it!

I sometimes would like my relatives to appear to me, my Dad really, but noone else! A random ghost compared to someone you still think about and love? No thankyou!

I know it hurts too much to see them and not hold them. My honorary sister who is deceased still comes in the bathroom with me whether I like it or not! She was a nosey hefer! We called her Rhona Barrett of the hood! When I stayed with my mother after her passing she would turn the sink on, flash the lights and just basically do stuff so that I could not sleep. When she was pregnant with my nephew she would do stuff to me so that I could not sleep just so I could stay up with her when the baby kicked. I have to laugh at her for being consistent!

Fucks sake you really do attract them dont you! Its wierd, that must be why youve had so many experiences, and other people have had none. You must be connected somehow. Im not! Apart from my Dad saving my life 2 years after his death, which was rather nice of him! Lol!

Okay I am crawling back to my creepy hovel! No more stories for you until you tell me about Vegemite!

Dont ask me, I aint no aussie!!
Nah, its some sort of spread, its like yeast and vegetable extract or something. Apparently its horrible, but Australians love it. Heard of Marmite? think its like that (also horrible).

Tell us more stories!!

susannah said:

I love me some vege

Natisse said:

Ocean said:

susannah said:

ok let me see if I can explain it... it's a spread that has a very unique taste. you either love it or you really don't like it I can't describe the taste unfortunately shall I bring some to the London party though? I have some with me!

Natisse said:

haha, ok bring some on a cracker or something!! people will think were mad...."oh yes, this is my new friend Natisse, shes feeding me vegemite!"

susannah said:

at least you'll be able to try it

cool!!! who knows maybe Ill love it and have to go to Australia to get more!

susannah said:

Thanks Tisse! That helped a little. Is it salty or sweet?

this is true. personally, i don't know what to make of it. about ten years ago when i lived in CA, a young legal secretary brought her newborn baby in to the office to let us all see her. while she was using the erstroom, this secretary asked me if i would watch her baby for her. she put the baby girl's carrier next to my chair and left.

i made the usual cooing noises and gave the little tyke an admiring look over. but then, i thought it was a trick of the light or something but as i was watching the little girl's face i saw a skull underneath the skin. no, that's not quite it. i saw a gray face superimposed over the baby's face. whatever it was it was like seeing the negative of the picture at the same time as seeing the picture.

anyway it was unpleasant and i had to look away. when i looked back it was still there so i stopped looking directly at the child and was very glad when her mother came to retrieve her.

it was.... freaky.

a few weeks later the baby died of sudden infant death syndrome. when i attended the funeral for the baby the little face in the coffin weas the face i'd seen that day. i have NO idea what that was all about
