Strange / Scary Experiences

[NDG Elecs]

First job after leaving school worked in a sports centre. End of the night walked along passage, past squash courts to check fire doors were secure. Turned off all lights in squash courts, which all had one full glass wall and started walking back to reception. While walking I clearly heard the sound of trainers squeaking as they hit the wooden floor, also could clearly hear squash balls being hit and bouncing off the walls.. I ran..really ducking fast!

No one could have been down there of that I am certain.

Found out that some fella had a fatal heart attack a couple of weeks before I started. Died in the court apparently. Finishing off his last game by the sound of it.. Hope he won it!

I don't believe in owt supernatural, including religious stuff and am VERY scientific and Darwinian about life. But this throws a spanner in the works I tell you!

Back end of last year a woman was attacked in her own home by her boyfriends dog and was killed (it was on national news, you may have seen it), this happened a few streets away from where I live and I've bumped into her at the local shops and on the street like you do.

A sparky friend called me asking if he could borrow my 3ft drill bit because he forgot his, says he is working around the corner so I walked the few streets to drop it off to him. Well it was only the house she was horrifically killed in! Very strange standing in the living room looking at the bleached cleaned floor where she died and also where the dog was shot by the police. That put a chill down my spine.

my old work mate worked in sierra leone with an aid agency,.......he once told me how they arrived at a town to supply a school room and care centre,....so everything from text books to bandages,...the townsfolk were true hosts, bringing local pastries, drinks, helping where they could,.....

then when it came time to leave, a local criminal boss showd up with his mob, all armed and apparently high on crank,......the aid workers were then told that they owed the boss $1000 U.S each, for the food, drinks, and for the "privilege"....of working in HIS town....seems the "friendly" locals had been keeping tabs, and apparently a bottle of juice was $50,....etc etc...

soon after they left, after negotiations, the school room and care centre were robbed, and destroyed......

....nice eh ?

Are you mad!!!

There is a slightly more serious point but that can wait for another day/thread.

OK. It's another day.

The picture was accidental but I posted it on a thread (elsewhere) about UFOs and I'd previously commented about no clear pictures of reported sightings. I came across the pic when I was downloading others from the wee camera and posted it, tongue-in-cheek as an example of UFOs.

Well, I got roundly lambasted for "faking" pics and much more. Some people seriously believe almost anything to do with UFOs, alien visits, abductions and such. I think they might have been just a bit ticked off when it was shown how easily they could be fooled.

Oh, yes, the real thing in the daylight.......it's a solar LED garden light with three of these:

It amused me anyway.................:grinningelf:

Only last week pete, We were on an old house in sheffield i was working at the top of the cellar steps when i felt someone watching me , so i turned quickly to look down the stairs to see a shadow dissapearing out of sight, then about an hour later the lad asked if i was in the cellar , no i said im in kitchen why, because i could swear i just saw you walk accross the cellar!!!, there were 2 floor boards up in the dining room so you could see through the gap to the cellar. we spent the rest of the day like bloody scooby doo and shaggy!!

What was that then, eating everything in sight

Lots of spooky houses in Cornwall I am working in one on Friday I first worked on 22 years ago when I rewired it as a young sparky,
The original occupant has now moved out she swears its haunted but moved out or other reasons, when you are there it is an unpleasant aptmosphere and you hear voices and noises when you are alone the other day I was in there with the agent and we both heard keys rattling
