Due to a tragic passing on of my grandmother last night. I remember two of the things that happend to her 10 or so years ago when she in didsbury living on her own.

1) She was knitting with a big basket of wool. She went upstairs to get something, she came back down.. and the whole basket had dissapeard, she never saw it again!

2) She had an old alarm clock, and one day the top went missing, she looked and looked everywhere, could not find it anywhere! she though nothing of it. 5 years later a friend of hers came round to do some cleaning. She came downstairs and showed my gran something in her hand, and said 'whats this' and my gran said 'Thats the top of my clock I lost a while back, where was it'? The reply was.. 'Right next to the clock'


Anyone had any similar experiences?

yup - very similar

Lost my virginity some years back, got married quite a few years later and found it again in a completely different place.

And edited to say sorry to hear your news

Funny you should mention spooky stuff.
I have cctv watching the cars at night, low light jobbies, so i can see most anyone.
The other night, i happened to look at the screen and i saw what looked like the outline of someone, very faint but not solid as if theyd just walked past on the pavement.
That being a bit iffy, was the way it moved that made me look harder. It walked but seemed to move way to fast for the speed it was walking at, and then it was gone. Couldnt see anyone...so bollox to it and went to sleep....weird tho.

Was round the gf's house last week. Stood chatting in a well lit kitchen, realised there was someone standing behind me (you know you can sometimes tell, even without hearing them).

Turned and caught a reflection of a dark person-shape in my peripheral vision but there was nothing there by the time my eyes had focussed. Freaked me out a bit!

A few things, but I can't be bothered typing at this time of night. The most recent was last week: driving down the local High Street one evening, you know those windswept nights when the streetlights diffract through the droplets on the screen, and stray litter gets whipped around in the eddies, clouds scudding across a moon-hazy sky? Well, there I was, following a Nissan Sedative, when without warning, it turned into a supermarket.
Spooky, I can tell you.

Long time ago (25 years or more)I was driving up Beach Road in Tynemouth and saw a cyclist right in front of me, sort of crossing the road diagonally. Braked/swerved and it wasn't there at all. Apparition/ghost/? no idea...

I bought a house on probate i.e from the deceased man's family. I have never seen anything but my ex and former house mate both think they have seen a man stood in the lounge door way. I personally think they are both mental.

Again sorry to hear about the loss.

Strange but true.

Lived in a very old house, parts from 12thC, working in the living room when some one walked across the bedroom above me, wood floors so heard it clearly, even the dog lifted an ear to listen. Assumed it was wife or child, I have a brace, then heard them playing in the garden went outside and they where all their. Checked the bedrooms but no one their, very spookey.

I was driving home one night down a dark dual carriageway, came to a roundabout, pulled off roundabout at my turning with a bit of throttle and speed, and headed straight into the shadow of what i swear was a man crossing the dual carriageway just in front of edge of my headlight beam. Shat myself to the point of slamming on the brakes, heart pounding away, swerved the car, rear wheel hit the kerb and punctured tyre.
Pulled over into a close-by layby, obviously checking the road to see if i'd hit anyone as it all happened so fast, but no sign of anyone on the road or in the area. So i came to the conclusion i must have hallucinated the whole thing. weird or what.
Stuck in the middle of nowhere, trying to change my wheel to the spacesaver with no light, luckily a passing werewolf helped me out.phew lucky me.
