Larian Studios Forums General Chat You are now entering... the Freaky Zone

In this world there a great mysteries, like the Bermuda Triangle, or why Micheal Jackson decided to become a white chick. There are gosts and ghoules, voices and UFOs. What are they, who are they, what caused them, what is going on? We may never know. One thing we can do though is share the paranormal experiances we have personally expirianced. To expose more mysteries. To challenge our view of the world and what is reality...

OOOOO! Spooky huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

No, but really, I'd like to post this thread for people who have paranormal expiriances they'd like to share. Spooky stories they are personal witnesses to. I have a few myself that I will share upon seeing if this thread will go anywhere.

They don't need to be super scary or anything either. Just a mind-boggler will do just fine. So go ahead. Share the tale. We're listening. Take a step into... the Freaky Zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some tales for you, killerzzz: come and pay a visit to Shantara's Uncle Tatters...
If you have ever met a ghost, maybe will you find one of his relatives there, who knows?
See you later... I hope. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" />
*creepy snigger*

After checking it out, I would suggest that some people go see the thread metionned above by LaFille. Its got some good ghost stories.

This thread however is here for true horrific stories that the teller has lived through (or died through all you net-ghosts -- hahaha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> ).

Like I said before it doesn't even have to be scary, just exta-ordanary.

So, here is a little one that I lived through. It's not scary at all. But damned if it makes sense.

I was at my grandpa's farm. He's of french decendence so we call him Pépé. I was just a little kid. My brothers and I were jumping back and forth between two couches in the basement. When it was my turn, the impossible happened... I jumped, and half way through the jump I hit nothing and fell backwards onto the couch I jumped from. It felt like I'd hit a wall of air. I went to check the air there... I put my hand out to the force that pushed me back... and felt nothing. What happened? I don't know. I bearly remember the event more than what I said. It was morning time if that matters to you. My brothers don't remember a thing of it because the were both very young. It makes you wonder what really is out there in the world... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I was 10 years old, and I still believed in easter, on easterevening I watched outside my bedrooms window and saw strange lights circling around above the clouds. It 5 lightcircles that didn't seem to emit light on the surrounding clouds circling around in a ... circle. Young and clueless as I was I decided the easter clocks were doing their job, I watched them some more till suddenly they faded away. Statisfied that I would definatly have eastereggs next morning I went to sleep.

But some years later I realised there are no easter clocks, and I tought back to that evening. Did I see a UFO or UFOs or did my fantasy play tricks on me...

I'm not making this up, I truly remember this. I tought it could be huge spots, but I also remember clouds drifting in front of them.

A few years I've made a similar, yet totally different experience : Light in the sky.

It looked like dots of light circling under a cloud; it looked as if on the underside (the bottom) of a cloud there were dots which enlightened these dot-shaped parts of the clouds. And these dots were circling.

I found out that this was something man-made I hadn't expected : Someone invented some strange sort of party-light (at least that's how I see it), to enlighten an area during an event (party ?) in the night. This thing was constructed so that the light was filtered through a filter which has holes in it, thus creating these "dots" of light.

I still don't see much sense in this "machine", but I guess that it actually exists.

Will look for a link explaining it, but I'm not sure whether I'll find some ...

When my husband and I were dating we decided to take a walk in the woods before meeting my family for dinner. We were walking in a dirt path and saw other couples around so we weren't too worried. As time went on, it started getting dark so we decided to go back to the truck. Unfortunately there were so many forks in the path that we soon got lost. There was no one around and it was almost dark, so we actually started looking for shelter.

All of the sudden a huge black dog was at the next fork in the path. I love dogs, so I went to pet it. It started growling and baring his teeth, which I have never had a dog do to me. We decided to take the opposite path and at the top of the hill, there was a road with traffic. When I turned around, the dog had vanished.

We ended up hitching a ride with one of the bypassers back to our truck. Still makes me wonder.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a new scary story myself, but three old books, the 'Scary Stories' series have alot of good freaky little stories that are the ones some people think are based on true chilling events. They are fictional, but the types of stories are similar to the ones we here are supposedly true. Check them out if you get the chance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

When I was six my family lived in a block of flats (6 storey building)!

There was some rumour going around about a guy with a mooses head, armed with a small hatchet, knocking on doors in the middle of the night and trying to get in.

My older brother was telling me its just something to scare us kids so we'd go to bed on time.

One night my parents were out and we were being babysitted by my uncle and aunt when there was a knock at the door. We were all in bed but still awake. Suddenly we heard some shouting and a scuffle at the front door. We jumped out of bed to look and there at the door was my uncle trying to close the door but couldnt because a mooses head was jammed in it. He kept hitting it until it gave up and he managed to close the door. We of course all screamed our heads off!

Anyway we all know it was some freak who was wearing a moose head (the type you see hanging on walls in hunting lodges) - but it's still a freaky image that I will never get rid of!

I haven't experienced "freaky" things yet ... - but strange ones indeed ... I don't know whether I should tell them ?

Don't expect anything into the direction of horror ... just plain weird things ...

Like I said several times: this is not to scare. This thread is for the unusual and or unexplainable events in your lives. The wierd. The crazy. And the scary.

I want it all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Was mine scary? No, just beyond a doubt incomprihendible. Something that makes you think WTF in the unabriviated sense of the word. So go ahead and share your odd story. I know I'd like to hear it.

Here's another of my own. Its not scary or even too facinating. It wonders of precognision (the preseeing of the futur) in dreams.

I had a bad dream, Ok? It was about my basement being filled with living mummies. One particularily scary one was a devilish little unholy baby corpse.
I awoke from the dream, in my bed. It was morning. I ran through the hall and found my parents walking to their bedroom. I said, out of breath: "Mom, Dad, I just had a bad dream about mummies in the basement!" I was just a little kid then.
Then I awoke from the double dream, in my bed. It was morning. I ran through the hall and found my parents walking to their bedroom. I said, out of breath: "Mom, Dad, I just had a bad dream about mummies in the basement!"

Its understandable that I said the same thing, but in the same lighting? My parents walking to the bedroom the same way saying the same things? My encountering them at the exact same part of the hall? It makes me wonder...

How 'bout you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Isn't it possible you heard your parents when you were dreaming? I have had many dreams where things that were surrounding me as sound influenced the dream such as sound, voices, the morning breeze. My brother talked in his dream when he was younger, and I could actually steer it a bit, not to much. But for example when I said "What did you say?" he would infact repeat himself.

What I've also experienced quite some times is the illusion of movement and touch in dreams. For example a dream I had a lot is that I fell down some stairs and at the moment of impact I wake up but it feels like I fell into my bed.

Those things Dragh says happen to me pretty often. I love to sleep, and I remember lots of the dreams I make.
Once when I was a kid something weird/funny a bit like that happened to me. I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, beside my sister's bed in her room because there were works going on in mine. In my dream, I was in a kind of place like you see in old western movies, kind of arid & desertic landscape. I was laying (trying to sleep) under a kind of very low, sloping & proeminent rock making a bit like an awning over me, beside a campfire. Suddenly a humanoid creature's feet was sticking out from the top of the rock that I was under and was balancing in front of me, kicking me at times. I slammed it, punched it but the creature wouldn't take it off from there; so I bit it (!?!)... It's weird how much, in dreams, everything appears like normal... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I don't remember anything of this dream after that, so I suppose that biting the feet worked to make the creature take it off from there...
On the day after, my sister discovered a bite mark (teeth shaped red marks) on her feet; she discovered it only by accident in the later day. No wonder how she got it, eh?
But the weird in all this (apart from making a such unusual dream) is that nothing of this had awaken any of us two, the biter neither the bitten! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I'd just like to say that I have had points in a dream, where though not repeating themselves, a person will say the same thing to me that they said in a dream before I awakened.

The fact that the situation upon awakening is exactly the same as the one I dreamed may come from something close to precognition, but not exactly. I'll call it, an intelligent deduction. Lets say that your brain takes in some information as you sleep and are about to awaken (so a sound for example) and implies it in your dream.

Now, when you are dreaming, the speed of your dream can be faster or slower than the actual speed of time around you. For example: I can sleep and dream for 10 minutes, but the dream will seem like 10 seconds; or; I can sleep and dream for 10 minutes and the dream will seem like an hour. I've had this happen both ways, so don't tell me it ain't true. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

So back to the original subject, maybe your brain takes in the information (sound) and prosesses a possible senario of what will happen next, and applies it in your dream. This could happen so fast (a dream of .5 seconds seeming like 10) that the real world will not have played out this senario before you finish dreaming and if your brain calculated it right, you will end up with a repetition of what you dreamed upon awakening. Maybe you dream the event exactly as its happening, your dream happens so fast that the world would seem to stand still, and you awaken to the event still just beginning to happen.

Bam! Mini-Precognition! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

Hehehe... I should write a book on my lame ideas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Or are they... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Nope not over, not even a P.S. yet.

I'd also like to say that I share the adventure of an illusionned of fall. But I'm not sure if you've ever felt it this way. In my dream, I am tiny, like an inch tall (2.2 ish centimeters, right?). I am on a wooden chair, then I fall off (a big drop for such a tiny guy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />). I awaken feeling as though I actually lived the event of falling. But there is one distinction between my experiance and the common one. This time, I bounced a couple times like I had really fallen... and I mean BOUNCED capital B! No way I could have simulated it by shaking up and down in my sleep. One more mystery... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I once read that one might try to ask the protagonists in the dreams ... and maybe even get answers from them ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

On that subject, there are some sects that believe that if you ask a dying person (usually sacrificially hanged and choking to death) than they will be able to answer any question since they are linked to the after-life. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Sounds to me like the ingredients of a horror-novel ...

No, my remark was really meant to be so, without being scary or freaky in any way.

Actually, they put the Cult-Hanging-Half-In-Death thing-y into practice in the movie "THE ORDER". I didn't like that movie too much, but that is a real cultist thing they showed (though I can't say it works... haven't tried it myself... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />)
