Weird/Scary Things That Have Happened To You

[Nuclear Bingo]

My family always goes to Big Island, Hawaii every year. We rented a house instead of a hotel because it's a lot better. We rented a house one time and...ugh, it gives me shivers. I hate Hawaii because of this and I'm looking forward to moving to Norway just to get the hell away from there. Every year, something stupid and freaky happens and no one believes me.

So, like I said, my family stays in houses instead of hotels for many reasons. I don't remember the age of this one but the house we stayed in was weirdly built. The stairs would lead up to the building but then only the living room would be above and everything else was build in this basement. Hard to explain. Anyway, first night my sister found a cockroach in her mouth. That's not the story, I just thought it was funny and she deserved it. Moving on, my bedroom was, of course, in the basement. Now, you may be thinking, basements are underground. Again, weird house. The "basement" as it was called in the description of the house was actually the first floor but they built stairs that went to the second story so you'd enter the second story first instead of the first floor but they called the second floor the first floor cause hell, why not? So, my bedroom was on ground level and there was a door leading to the beach. I cannot sleep on any night in Hawaii cause you got these stupid frogs and crickets trying to get laid so they are LOUD. Anyway, I hear something different the second night. It's about 2 in the morning and I hear footsteps. So, of course, I'm a little spooked. There are blinds covering my only window which is right across from my bed. It's rectangular and looks out towards the ocean. There's also a door next to the window. I see a dark figure walking from the beach, towards my window. It starts out very slowly. The figure walked toward my window and I could see the outline of the ears and the shape of the head, presumably bald. Anyway, I'm sitting in bed about to wet my pants cause I'm right across the window and seeing something approaching. I thought well, this guy is the neighbor so he's gonna take a right or left and uh go home. I realized that my house has no neighbors. The figure goes right smack close into the window. I cannot stress the shape of the figure enough...When it was there, he stopped to wear I could only see his head and shoulders. All of a sudden, without him moving or doing ANYTHING, it goes, "Heh, heh! Hi, there! Heh! Heh!" like someone doing the baby talk to their dog. He turns, not a normal turn, a robot turn. He didn't like step back and just start kinda walking. He did as little movement and sound as possible when he turned and he walked towards my door. The doorknob wriggled a bit and then he said "Heh, okay!" and left. You know in a movie, show, or real life where a guy is driving his pick-up truck and he see a deer coming up in the headlights and the deer lifts it's head. It's not moving, just looking stupid and shocked? That's me that night. I didn't tell my dad or my mom because I wanted to see if they'd ever bring it up as happening to them but they never did.

hahaha well if that was just some guy, he was either really drunk or he was very deluded

This thread is so good. Bump for more interesting reads.

I got a friend lost in the mountains when I was a kid. Admittedly I was lost too but I found it funny and he didn't, and both of our parents were super pissed because my friend blamed me (and I was to blame tbh). Similarly I got my friends and myself locked inside a warehouse overnight and cops got involved.

I've been shot at for pranking when I was a kid.

I almost got ran over by an ice cream truck.

I almost drowned when playing that thing where you hold another person on your shoulders in the pool and they fight. Forget the name of it, but I was too short for that but my friend didn't realize it. I also almost drowned somebody playing this game.

I got more or less handcuffed by a jellyfish tentacle and almost passed out from the pain.

When I was going door to door for a fundraiser one night an older woman answered the door in her underwear and bra and her chihuahua ran out and bit me.

I have lots of stories. Most of them dealing with me being a kid lmao.

 

[Geneve]

Also bumping for stories. Might share my own later on. Not in the mood to get scared right now.

 

[Geoni]

Oh yeah and how could I forget the time we found a shack in the woods that seemed all but abandoned and unused so we were making a fort out of it when, an hour later, a legit crazy homeless woman peeks in and starts screaming at us.

omg agree

on a more serious note,
i think one thing was kind of weird was that some guy went up to my friends and me at night and asked "are you guys Chinese?" I had to reply no since i wasn't. and he continued, "I like to guess what kind of Asian people are." and kept talking and it was honestly creepy because i kept saying i wasn't chinese and he kept telling me to stop the monotonous denials. i don't like it when people ask me "What kind of Asian are you?"

Okay I've got one; it's not as scary as other people's stories though:

So when I was younger, my twin sister won a nutcracker in music class by playing a game which involved the Nutcracker Suite music by Tchaikovsky. So, it happily was displayed in our room until one day, we found a can of glitter spray and decided to spray it. It looked even prettier to us because it was super shiny.
The following days after that, weird things began to happen. Such as, we had an old TV in our room that we used to play DreamCast, Gamecube, PS1 etc...that began to turn on by itself at night. Not only that, our radio kept turning on by itself as well. It would always be on the static stations.
But wait, there's more, the nutcracker kept moving to random spots in our room. It would ALWAYS be super close to our beds in the morning. We then decided to sleep in the living room. Somehow, it'd ALWAYS make our way downstairs. We kept asking our siblings and our parents if they were messing with us, but they always said no. We would stay up super late until everyone was a sleep and staring at it. Once we confirmed that everyone was sleeping, we'd fall asleep, but it would continue to appear by our bedsides.

We eventually gave it to our friend. She also said that she began to notice a lot of creepy things as well. She ended up giving it to her friend which lead to her giving it to another person...It eventually just circled around the grade because no one wanted it...

Not all that scary, but here I go. One night, I was trying to get to sleep in my little brother's room because my room was being renovated. So, I was laying in bed when I began to hear this music play. It wasn't like regular music that you'd hear on the radio or something like that. It was like a bunch of bells and flutes and chimes. At first I thought it was coming from outside, because it was kind of faint. So I open the window and the sound isn't coming from outside. I wait a little while longer, trying my best not to completely freak out, and I could still hear the music. I ran into my parents room, which was next to my brother's room, and asked them if they were playing anything with music. They weren't. They told me it was probably nothing. When I went back into the room, there wasn't anymore music playing.

The music was very very pretty, so even though I was a bit freaked out, it didn't feel malicious or dangerous.

Back on September 14th, around 2 am, I was awoken to a loud bang just outside my front door. I am a very overly-cautious person so I just had to check it out and happened to notice that my mom was also awake and she told me something odd has been happening outside our house since midnight. A few minutes later, a police helicopter was shining its spotlight in our backyard and surrounding houses, a minute later and 3 police vehicles were outside our house. By this point, I was terrified out of my mind. We kept hearing random noises off to the east of our house and such. About 10 minutes later, My mom and I see the cops pull out this white man without a shirt and they set him down and he just lays there on our neighbor's driveway motionless. By the looks of it, he looked dead. He then sat upright and it turned out that he was drunk and that he came from a bar in a shopping complex close by my house, stole something, and was trying to hide from the police. The bang I mentioned early on in the story was actually our CFL light bulb on our front porch and he busted it with his hand to conceal his location and hurt himself and was bleeding pretty bad. He left blood stains on our screen door, two of our windows, and the hood of my car. Other than the light bulb, no property damage was done. The last I heard of him is that he is currently in court due to this incident, just glad that nobody was hurt from this incident.

Really need to get around to posting all those other stories I promised ya'll.

Here's a quick kind of creepy one:
My brother used to see a man in his room when we lived on base. He said he'd wake up and there would be a heavy-set middle-aged man sitting at the foot of his bed, with a gunshot wound to the head. The man would always say the same thing: "What the hell you looking at, kid?" And my brother would go back to sleep. In the same house and room, I would walk by his room to go to mine and out of the corner of my eye, I'd always see a little girl standing in the middle of the room. This has carried over to our new home. My cat and dog refused to go into his room, unless forced or lured, and even then, they will howl to be let out. My aunt has stayed in his room and said she felt watched, that there was something evil about the room. The room always puts me in a state of unease as well and I try not to be in there unless my brother, who seems unphased, is in there as well.

One time I was at an Anime convention and my sister, friend and I were all looking/walking around in the Artist Alley.
Long story short, there was a guy dressed up as Santa that had apparently been following us for a while. He then walked up to my friend and kept breathing on her shoulder and he kept moving closer and closer to her. Luckily, a security guard noticed and said to him, "Could I see you for a moment."
He took him away.

When I wrote about it on tumblr, a girl said that the same santa was stalking her and her friends as well. Unfortunately for her, he cornered her and her friends into a corner. Her friend ended up screaming really loud and he ran away.

When I was younger I used to have a bunch of Webkinz and I would line them up on my mom's bed and play and talk to them. One time I was pretending they were all going to sing in a chorus. I asked if they were ready, and a deep voice said, "Yeah, I'm ready." I ran out of the room screaming. I'm 100% positive it was not my imagination. It was super creepy and I'm glad we moved out of that house!

holy crap wtf i would have a heart attack

 

[unintentional]

So more in depth and not a pity party for me:
I was like six or something (super young) and I was going to bed (keep in mind I slept upstairs then. I also stay home alone a lot and hear scary stuff a lot. Also, a picture fell from the wall while I was alone for no reason.) when I saw this manish looking shadow. I thought it was an action figure so I got my windup flashlight and shined it. I swear I heard a scream and it just kept yelling and yelling. To this day Im beyond sure it wasnt a dream.

Also, when I was sixth grade I woke up to find myself choking because I held the covers to my neck to the poimt I couldnt breathe.
