I was watching Dead Famous last night.

Have you ever had that feeling where something really obvious is going on in front of you, but you just haven't worked out what it is ? (eg, catch an untranslated Japanese Game Show )

Well that's the sensation I had. Screaming Investigators running from room to room were a distraction, stopping me grasping something that should be obvious.

In fact thinking about it and typing this is creating tension in my neck and temples.

Weird Huh ?

Anyone else get the impression we're being worked here ?

You were being distracted from the fact that bugger all supernatural was occuring. Thats why Dereck Kiora is on MH, if he wasn't there you'd be watching jack as the chances of them actually catching a ghost on tape is next to zero.

that Chris geezer is dead dramatic, all the huffing and puffing he does, and ohhh hang on I am channeling etc!

I just watched last night show from recorded thingy, and if they shut up you can hear noises, and there were afew orbs.....but that episode was crap IMHO the buddy holly one was quite good, but an amercian you see.....different way of working the crowd

gail porter is funny though, she says she doe no believe then runs around muttering "I dont like it, I dont like it!"

I dunno, I've knocked around enough to know that your average semi detached can have a lot more happening than these big hotels and large houses. (remind me to tell you about the night we had to do a runner, me, wife, daughter in carry cot and dog piling into a taxi to get away from . . . . . )

But, although I agree with Eckie about MHL etc. I did get the strangest feeling that something was going on at a different level. The presenters were distracting my understanding of it.

Hey !! perhaps we can put this in Conspiracies ?

Ogre

Sounds interesting Ogre, what do you think was really happening? Although I sound cynical, its only with programs on the supernatural. They are usually rubbish. I am interested in the weird and unexplained. Perhaps you could share your story of your spooky house with us?

yeah, come on Ogre, dont hold back on us!

Hmmm. Ok, this was the worst experience we've had, but...

Due to a cockup with the Building Society we had to declare ourselves homeless and have our house re-possessed. The local authority moved us into a 3 story emergency shelter next to an old stone chapel.

I went first to spend the night cleaning the place to make it fit enough for my wife and our new baby. Had a friend help and we slept downstairs. All night I could hear very quiet screaming if that makes sense.

We couldn't get our furniture around the stairs, so filled the attic with boxes, turned the middle floor into a living room with lots of cushions and slept on the ground floor.

Then we started to have things happen. My daughter couldn't be left without screaming. If we went out we'd come back to find the dog hiding under the cot. We'd sit in the 'living room' and shadows would be cast on the wall from the hallway, although there was no one there.

I'd wake up and find my wife laying awake, and eventually we had to leave a light on, started with the kitchen light, then the kitchen and the bathroom (on 2nd floor, next to living room) light, then after a couple of nights the landing light.

As we had an open plan staircase and I couldn't sleep with all these lights, we compromised with a bedside light left on.

Another couple of nights and I woke up to a really awful sense of menace. Got dressed and was convinced something was coming downstairs from the Attic. My wife woke up to find myself and the dog, guarding the stairs and growling (me and the dog) I had a steel broadsword and it was a horrible sensation.

My wife, put my daughter in to her carrycot as we covered her back and went to phone a taxi.

We turned up at my parents house at 1 in the morning and stayed there refusing to go back alone.

That was the worst of many experiences we've had. Thankfully the place was demolished a couple of years later.

Note: I scrounged a lift off a council engineer one day and described our experience. He went white and called me a complete b*stard.... He was on his way to the house to turn the power off, alone..

Oooooo!! scary!! that would of freaked me, you with a blooming sword in your hand!
I wonder what had been on the site before, maybe a battle field or something??

maybe our Derek has been taking hints from you!

did you see last nights????? when Derek allegedly got "possessed" and he went to attack Yvette! part of me was thinking "oh no", and the other part was "go on hit her!" she was right in his face shouting back at him, IHO not a smart move on her part!

I didn't. I think my feelings about 'well taunted' are quite well known. I sat down to the science of the Yellowstone (I will refer to it as Jellystone - tisk) Super Volcano. Very, very interesting.

Looks like I might have been a tad conservative about planned water reserves.

Don't think the place was a Battleground the only thing that kept striking me was the image of a VERY abusive father. Quite strictly religious who ruled the roost with both fist and belt. I hate to think about what may have happened there to implant that sort of memory.

The place we now live in had a 'thrower' who used to empty the pantry by throwing stuff across the kitchen, used to move quite large objects and return them weeks later, but we never had the same sense of menace. He now seems to have moved on (his wife died last year). So at the moment all is peacefull.

Ogre

thats interesting, its strange when you get a feeling of what happened there, what they were like and stuff.

I understand coz I have had those feelings, but when I have explained them to others they are dismissive, and are all, and how do you know that, well I just know! and you cant explain why or how you know.

like one of our chaps, I knew his name for some reason and then had some one else tell me his name, which was the same I had come up with, and i saw him once and knew he had been involved in amill accident, he had a huge scar, but logicvally the scar could of been from anywhere.

I cant explain it

glad your pantry contents is staying in one place now

Ogre, that was......... chilling. I'm sitting in the attic room reading this and it made me look around!
I can't watch MH Live anymore..... it's so set up and desperate. I wish someone would do a serious investigative program.

The Attic That was one of the few times i've been enclined toward prophesy. I didn't bother with it in the main account as it was only a footnote. When we first moved in with the help of a friend we stowed our boxes of possessions in the walk in attic in the house. It had 2 small doors (one either side of the room) leading to the eves. My friend helping me said "I think I'll sleep on the floor here tonight". I just looked at him and said "No. If you do you're going to wake up in the dark, realise you woke because of the scrabbling at the door to the eves we blocked with boxes, then you'll be trying to find the light switch before what ever it is manages to get to the other door."

He went white, we slept on the living room floor and I spent the night listening to the screaming.

Yup, one of the unexplained unexperiences in my life, but so far the worst.

Ogre

I'm glad to say that I've never experienced anything that spooky!
