The strangest things you've ever seen or encountered is what I want to hear about. I was watching Unexplained Mysteries, or whatever it's called, with my morning coffee. It got me thinking about all of the strange things I've seen over the last 52 years. I'll start with when I was very young back in the early 60's. I spent alot of time looking out my bedroom window at night, you see I had a kidney problem that resulted in bed wetting. My parents ordered this contraption that consisted of sleeping ontop of a hard rubber pad with metal strips running acrossed it. When urine hit the metal strips, it would send a signal to a big white box with a lamp plugged into the back of it, & ring a bell that was about as loud as the school bells were back then. (some of you know about those ear-splitting bells), hence... afraid to sleep. To this day, I seem to "pass out hard, & wake up 4 to 5 hours later, done sleeping. Anyway, I was 6 or 7 when I was staring at the full moon. All of a sudden there was a much smaller light that made a complete orbit around the moon, that took about a minute to complete, then dissapeared about where it started. Don't know what it was.
The next "sighting" was at Grandpa & Granny's house, as I was spending the night, staring out the window, as usual. All of a sudden, a solid white man walked past the window about 4 feet away. Himself, all of his clothes, & a rifle over his shoulder were solid white. Talk about getting under the covers fast!
My 3rd encounter was in 1993, while at a family reunion, some of us decided to get our boats out & do some catfishing on the White River. My brother-in-law & I were in my boat , & 3 in the other boat. It was right about sundown, & as we were heading down river, My Brother-in law & I passed a LARGE head & neck of a creature swimming up river. There was about 4 feet of neck & a head about the size of a football! It freaked both of us out! The closest I can describe it was the picture of the Loch Ness Monster. Months later, we heard of other people that had seen it. One day, I decided to type in river monsters on the computer, & lo & behold, we saw the White River Monster!
My last "sightings" were within the last 5 years, In the house we live in now, we have an "old man" ghost. I have seen him looking outside from the bathroom window twice so far. He is slightly heavy in the face & is bald. While standing at the toilet going to the bathroom, once I was pushed forward slightly, like someone behind me was trying to make me "miss the mark" Another time my shirt was yanked on from behind, while in the same position in front of the toilet. Seems harmless & can't wait for the next round.
Let's hear about your sightings or encounters!
 
Not paranormal but weird:
I saw a big Grey Wolf on the side of the highway eating something out of a cardboard box. Later we stopped to see what was in the box and it was a dead baby bear inside a garbage bag, stuffed inside a box.
The other night, I turned on the outside light to call the dog in and saw four field mice running down the driveway........???
One place I worked at, I had keys to the house to let the dogs out during the day. Nobody was home except the dogs. When I was finished, I locked them back in and as I got into my car I looked up at the top windows and saw a old lady looking back at me. I know, positively for sure, nobody was in the house.
I saw a Seagull fall straight down out of the sky. He dropped like a lead balloon. He was still alive when I caught him and took him to the wildlife center.
I was walking up my driveway and a big 200 foot tree just fell over. All in slow motion.

A place I worked at had a ghost of a man. You could only see him out of the corner of your eye, when you looked directly at him, you couldn't see him. He would move things around.
At the same place I worked with two guys that had encountered strange things. One was a Native longboat canoe racer and the whole crew saw what they called Caborosaurus (Loch Ness type creature) laying on the top of the water in a kelp bed. When they moved closer for a better look, it dived, making a big wake. He said it was a dark greenish color, looked like a BIG snake/eel/reptile animal. Probably 40 feet in length.
The other guy saw a Sasquatch run across the road at night. He said it was as tall as the speed sign. Speed signs here are 10 feet high.
Neither guy was eager to tell anybody what they saw for fear of ridicule.

My Husband was a commercial fisherman and he said you would see strange lights out at sea all the time. Nothing showed on the radar as a source of the lights. The lights would bounce around. They were not the Northern Lights.
He said all the fisherman saw them. Sometimes they would talk about it on the radios, most often they didn't.

A friend of mine just rented a basement suite and she is plagued by ghosts. They move things, turn on the radio, show up in photographs etc.. She thought she was going crazy until she mentioned it to her landlord and he told her, yup, the place is haunted that is why the rent is cheap.
 
Cool! When we lived in an old farmhouse years ago, DW got out of bed because of my loud snoring. She was laying on the couch & felt as if someone was in the room with her. She opened her eyes & saw a man in a long, old army type coat bent over her looking at her face, turn, walk to the bedroom door , look both directions, & vanish. On the hill above the house is the family graveyard. The first buried there was a skeleton they found with a rifle & medals from the Spanish American War. Could she have seen this soldier?
 
Dh and I were traveling to Mississippi and was passing through some farmland along a stretch of main highway. As a passenger, I always stare out the passenger window not wanting to miss any sights! It had just gotten dusk and I started noticing a round orb like light follwing along side us at eye level about midways of the field. If we stopped, it stopped. If we sped up, it sped up.. This went on for several miles and when we got close to a major town and stopped at a light it slowed with us and then as we came to a stop, it lifted up and **POOF** it was gone. DH and I just looked at one another and agreed we would never tell anybody because it was way too weird!! That was about 10 years ago and we have just now finally started telling a select few. No one has laughed us under the table, yet...
 
Yes, these are hard things to share. I have told a select few & HAVE got laughed under the table. Most pepole think if they haven't seen it,.... it doesn't exist.
 
I can understand that.. If you have never seen or experienced anything like it, why would you believe it could happen? I thought folks were off their rocker a bit until I seen what I seen. I still don't put a lot of stock in UFO's, but I saw what I saw!!! And I do believe in ghosts, sort of. After my brother passed away, I kept having a reoccuring dream that I would go into his room, look in a specific place and find something that would make me soooo happy!! After several months, I went in there and looked. What I found was an old container that had contained Uhmm, wacky grass. It did not make me happy, but it made me happy to know that I found it and not my dad. It would have broken his heart, again!
 
I have a bad knack for joking and then this coming true, I joked about my house catching fire,it did the next day. I jokes about getting in a car accident, I did that day. I joked about the guy next door breaking in,he did. So many times has this happend to me right after.last"it could be worse we could have a foold it the basement" then a pipe started spraying the next day. One day,right after my house fire I wanted to get cash out of a bank machien but it didn't work, a guy using the next teller goes to me and says"this is going to sound wierd but god told me to give you this" and handed the amount I was tring to get out even though there is no way he could have seen my screen!
In a co-op I lived at I swore I would see a man walk down the hall and dissapear, it was a woman's co-op and I never heard any doors open to let him in! my sister lives in the building now and has taken some crazy pictures, there is atleast 5 differant apperisions in the picture, her behavoir has changed since living there and we no longer talk.
 
My Mother, who was very close to her Father, often talks about when he came to visit her. She was sleeping and something woke her up and she saw her Dad standing in her bedroom and he said to her, "You will be alright, don't worry".
In the morning she learned her Dad had died in the middle of the night.

Where I live, on Vancouver Island, there are more Psychics, Alternative healers, Energy workers etc. than anywhere else in North America. They seem to be drawn here. Something to do with a energy field. Partly that, but maybe mostly the weather and the beauty of the place. Its kinda of cool all the different ideas, beliefs, methods etc..
So if you live here, there is a 50% chance of somebody believing you if you tell them that you saw a ghost or "whatever". So most people are pretty open when talking about unusual things. But Sasquatches and UFO's still raise eyebrows.

Even despite the fact the "official"Sasquatch Hunters made the local papers again while investigating a sighting, ANOTHER sighting

I have heard stories of pullets starting to lay at 16 weeks but I have never seen it. Now that would be strange.
