Im not talking about stuff you saw on the internet, or stuff you saw on TV.


I want to hear cool stories about what you have seen first hand that was just unique or crazy. Something that maybe no one else in this forum has witnessed.

Ill start.


When I was around 17 I worked at McDonalds. On my way to work one day I decided to stop by the bank. As I was about to walk in I noticed something bright in the afternoon (I think it was around 2-4PM) sky. It was one of those times you look at something and it takes your brain a few seconds to understand what it is youre looking at. At first glance I thought it was a UFO, but almost instantly I realized I was looking at a Meteor. however this wasnt your general "flash in the pan" shooting star. This was a very large chunk of rock. It started as a large rock. Large enough that I could see the shape of it. Then it started to break up into smaller pieces that trailed behind it. The whole time the thing looked like the front was glowing and the end was followed by a streak of smoke.

The whole event lasted probably 5 seconds but felt like forever. I can remember thinking "Holy Sh!t I cant believe I just saw that" I looked over to the road and saw that someone had actually pulled over to look at it. Another person who just walked out of the bank was like "shit was that a meteor?" to that I just nodded and was like "yeah I think it was" It was pretty amazing and I told everyone at work about it. Some of my friends didnt believe me at all. However the next day at school I found that another friend of mine had seen it and it was also mentioned in the paper. Luckly it broke up into nothing before hitting. I would guess the thing must have been about 2-3 time larger than a beach ball and broke up into nothing about at the same hight that you would see sky divers jumping at. I have a hard time saying how high or how big it was. I mean it could have been REALLY big and really high or it could have been smaller and lower to the ground than I thought.

The coolest thing was how it really looked like a comet\fireball crashing through the sky.


So lets here some cool stories.

Strangest thing I ever saw was the poor old man who had a stroke just as I was squeezing past him in a shop aisle.

Read later in the papers that he didn't regain conciousness and it struck me that me being polite was the last thing he ever heard.

What a strange thought. To be the last thing someone sees before they die.

on a side note. I dont mind a few jokes here and there in the thread but keep on the good stuff like what Mandos just posted.

Oh wow, cool story yarr. I remember one time me and mom were driving at like 4am and the same thing happened. Cept only people on the road were us and a truck driver next to us. and he glanced over at us to see if we saw too and we just nodded. Very magical.

but hmm my collection of stories has gone up so much since being abroad.
like this one day I saw an old granny who had to be in her 70's hauling ass down the street on one of those razor scooter things.

I think my best involves a hostel in Ireland.. me and my 2 gentlemen companions were staying in a pretty shady hostel with 3 shady polish guys. Sometime around 3am a parade of drunk and loud young Irish boys stormed the hall. They went to the door next door to us and started banging on it and screaming. This guy shouted "LITTLE PIG LITTLE PIG LET ME IN! OR I'LL *HUFF* AND I'LL *PUFF* AND I'LL BLLLOOOWWW YOUR DOOR DOWN!" and then he kicked the door in and a guy from the other side said "Jesus! Did you have to knock the bloody door down?"
Then we heard the sound of knuckle hitting flesh and they went at for like 5minutes.
and then they stormed to the door on the other side and the scene was repeated.
One of the big tough shady polish guys in the room with us got up and blocked our door with a chair, I'll never forget the look of "oooh shit" on his face. We were so scared that we were next.
That was one weird night. aha. I guess it's a better story told in person though.

Ok so there is one.. I'll probably post more later.

Actually thats a good story minsty lol.


Hostels almost always end up leading to a pretty entertaining story haha. Although my favorite line was "2 gentlemen companions". Make you sound like a hooker lol.

This was a long time ago, and my memory is hazy at best about the whole event, but its still neat none the less.

Was on a charter boat, deep sea fishing in the gulf of mexico. We had our lines out, things were fairly quiet. Was sitting on the deck zoning out, staring at the horizon like 80% of fishing involves when I believe the first mate started yelling something to the effect of:

"Holy shit look at that!"

We all run to the side of the boat to where he was point down at the water. My Dad got the best glimpse of it, but I remember looking at a really large looking fish, and another smaller one beside it as it swam near the surface relatively speaking.

Just as I'm looking over the side, the first mate interjects again,

"It's a whale shark! ... and I think its giving birth!"

I see the smaller, similar fish beside it that sort of appeared. Before I got a better look they both dived into the water and we lost sight.

So according to some guys my Dad later spoke with in a bar that had worked for National Geographic (he travels alot, meets alot of random people, especially at airport crown royal rooms; Al Roker for example seemed far bigger in person pre-stomach-staple) if what we saw was actually what the first-mate believed it to be (whale shark giving birth), then we'd be the first known people to have seen it in the wild.

I wish I had been older, I probably would've payed alot more attention, but the first-mate got the better look than any of us. So I trust his judgement in telling this totally random story.

wow thats pretty incredible.

I mean really just seeing a whale shark in general is pretty awesome. Id love to go deep sea fishing in the bahamas or off of Hawaii.

Course with my luck I would end up seeing would be the reflection of myself throwing up over the edge of the boat haha.

There's been this pretty strange thing in our house lately. We can't seem to get rid of it. It's this ugly beast that stands about 60 inches high I think it came from Indonesia.

Anyone have any ideas how to get rid of it?

lol one odd thing that happened to me was when i was like 12 driving in the car with my mom and dad, and i was looking out of the window with my mom, and we saw this greenish yellow flash of light seemingly come into the sky, and then zoom out of it in a circular-ish type motion, it lasted about 2 seconds lol

I have no idea what it was, but the odd thing about it was that my mom saw it too, and when I went to ask her what it was she looked very nervous and told me i didn't see anything at all, just my imagination. but I knew she saw it, lol very strange. My mom usually isn't like that

This one time, when I was home alone, some guy tried to break into our house. At first, I thought it was one my the kids around here 'cause when they want my attention, the hit the window screen. When I heard the screen get taken off, I got a little suspicious, so I grabbed a knife off my dresser to try to scare them away. Well, I found out it wasn't a kid when they shot the window.

I saw a hand grab both sides of the window beside the blind. I stabbed the guy's right hand and grabbed my BB gun that looks like a PP7. Apparently the guy thought it was real because he took off running with my favorite knife ; ;

Anyways, I called the cops after he took off, but they never caught him. Now I sleep with a sword near my bed, just in case.

Its not really strange, not in America anyways, but its unique.

On another deep sea fishing trip I threw up the doughnuts I ate for breakfest after 45 minutes of trying to hold it down.

Right after I threw up, this huge fish swallowed all the vomit and dived under the boat. Swear to God, haha.

90% of fishing is incredibly boring, but every now and then something really incredible happens whether it be a lucky catch or sighting of more rare fish. I love fishing, but I rarely get a chance to go.



Fuck man, haha, glad you had the BB gun then to scare him then.

I love fishing in Northern Canada. I use to go up the French River fishing in some pretty remote locations there. I mean it takes 6 hours to get there from where I live (going north). When I say "get there" I mean you drive 6 hours to get to a really remote indian reserve where you park and boat another 30-45 minutes down the river.

Its one of those places where if you ever seriously hurt yourself... youre pretty much out of luck because I doubt anyone in the area even knows what an "air lift" even is haha.

The fishing is incredible there. Its not deep sea fishing, but its pretty entertaining in that mundand boring way.

Fishing in Canada is like hunting with a rocket launcher.

i saw one too. when i was about 17. i was way out in the countryside in oklahoma where there are no trees and no lights. a turquoise ball the size of the moon fell from the sky and dissolved in midair. it was probably not that high above my friend and me. very cool to see.

Weirdest thing I've seen was at my old APT. This lady had been missing a few days...and her APT started to stink. So we propped this guy up to the window and he started going in...when he came back out quickly throwing up. The lady had shot herself on her mattress. I don't know why...but we decided to take the mattress to the dumpster(I guess b/c of the smell). Well...taking it to the dumpster was bad enough. But it was even worse taking it back when the landlord said we had to get it out of the dumpster, and put it back in her APT the way it was. =(

I wish I could e-mail or post the expression on my face right now.

Seriously, why was your first reaction not to call the police? haha

Because he did it.

Anyways, I like this thread alot, but I've got nothing to contribute. =/

I'm assuming the lady shot herself and the police had already been there and the body removed, but the mess had not been cleaned up. Thus creating the smell of decay that triggered them to remove the mattress.

haha...someone did call the landlord, and the police. But I guess we didnt think about homicide or anything....just assumed suicide. It does seem pretty stupid in hind-sight...but in the moment..I just heard someone say "help us with this matress" >..<

Well, the first thing is something nobody believes me about, but I swear this happened. I was about 13-14 and laying in bed. My bedroom was off the living room and I had the door open. Across the living room was a fish tank so I could see into the room pretty well. I saw something run across the living room super fast and heard the front door rattle. It was about 3-4 feet high. I jumped up really fast and actually saw the blinds moving on the front door, but nothing was there. Needless to say I was scared shitless.

The second thing I didn't actually see, but I heard it. I was about 15. I was staying at my friend Tricia's house and we had been playing with a Ouiji board all night and 'trying to contact spirits'. Nothing happened with any of it. Well, later that night we were laying in her bed talking before we went to sleep. We were both laying on our backs and our shoulders were touching. We both got really quiet because we were starting to drift off, and I heard someone whisper, "Hey." I was quiet for a few seconds and then I said, "What?" I literally felt her body freeze up next to mine. She was like, "Omg, you didn't say that?" And I didn't, but we both heard the same exact thing. And it came from right inbetween our heads. That scared the shit out of me too.

_________________

I have a weird ass story with Ouiji boards also.

Tghere is an old wives tale that once you use a Ouiji board you can not get rid of it. For me its true.

I've always been a little funky with my tastes, and my family knew this, so when I was 9, they got me a Ouiji board as one of my gifts, the novelty gift I guess.

It was so cool, and I played with it a few times, trying to get it to do something. which sometimes it did move, but I don't know if I believe it was a ghost moving it or the microvibrations of the human hand. whatever the case. I loaned to a cousin, who then loaned it to another cousin, who then had it stolen. Cleaning the storage area one day, find the ouiji board... we honestly have no idea how or when we got it back, we thought it had been stolen like my cousin said. a few years later, cleaning the house, and I decided to play with it again and throw it out to see what would happen.

2 yrs later, my uncle found one in his house, and brought it over to me since he figured I'd like that sort of stuff. It was the same brand and type as mine.

I gave that one away to a friend when i graduated, he was more occult inclined then I was since I just mess with tarot cards. When i moved down here to florida, the first house i rented. In the storage area, was the same brand and type as mine.

Now i know it could all be coincidence, but if it is, why did I move into my new condo. And find a ouiji board in the little dusty space you never clean on top of the kitchen cabinets near the ceiling. To this day I have a ouiji board, I never use it, I keep it in the closet, and I swear to god it will be sitting in my house everyday until I die. I can't get rid of the fker.
