So it’s Halloween today … not a tradition I particularly enjoy, but it did remind me I’ve got my own share of real life spooky stories (cue “Twilight Zone” theme music!).
Real Life Spooky Stories 1: I’ve Seen a Ghost!
A couple of years back, hubster and I attended a funeral for a gentleman we knew. As we waited outside the church afterwards, a fellow walked past us – and we both commented on his amazing likeness to the deceased; surely it was his brother.
Months later, I learned that a number of folk at the funeral had reported seeing the “brother”. Except – he didn’t have a brother.
His widow, a lovely Christian lady, believes that God allowed her husband to attend his own funeral. You can ready the full story about this ghostly encounter here.
Real Life Spooky Stories 2: Encounter with a UFO
About 10 years ago, the hubster and I saw something out of the ordinary in the sky one evening; some sort of aircraft that had white flashing lights on it, hovering above us. It made no noise at all, and stayed in the one place until suddenly it zipped off to the east at great speed and disappeared.
We even rang the Amberley Air Force base to see if they knew what it was. Although they’d had several phone calls, they knew no more than we did!
Real Life Spooky Stories 3: A Message from Beyond the Grave
Only a few days after I received the news that my mother had passed away, I found a Bugs Bunny tie on the footpath in front of our house.
This doesn’t seem like anything significant – except that “Bugs Bunny” was my mother’s pet name for me, when I was a tiny tot.
Could it have been a coincidence, or was it a message from beyond the grave, sent specially to comfort me in my grief?
Sometimes, truth is stranger – or spookier – than fiction …
Do you have any real life spooky stories?!
I personally haven’t had any ‘twilight zone’ encounters but my husband has. I always listened to his stories with a lot of interest. He would then ask me if I wished to experience them myself but I would always go NOOOO THANKS! I do believe these things can happen though. I’m not a skeptic!
The funny thing is – I *am* a skeptic – maybe that’s why these things happen to me!
Only one really which I wrote about last year. I was living in a really old house that had been transported from Charters Towers after the gold rush. I went to walk into my bedroom and my dog stood between me and the doorway and started growling then turned around staring into the room growling and barking and generally being ferocious (which I’d never seen him do before). After a while he just stopped. I nervously peered into the room then went in and there was nothing out of the ordinary in there. It was freaky!
I have goose bumps, I’m pretty sure we are being watched, we just can’t see them xxx
My only encounter happened when I was about 5. I saw a man walked around in my room. I tried to tell my parents (I was sleeping with them at the time) someone broke in but I couldn’t move nor make a sound. My parents tried to convince me that it was a dream but it felt so real. To date, I still believed I did see something…
Actually I’ve had a couple of those dreams, it’s hard to tell if they’re real or not.
