The Creepy Experiences/Ghost Stories/Conspiracy Theories, etc Thread • Page 66

Not necessarily paranormal, but weird. I was camping alone a couple nights ago in a pretty crazy thunderstorm. Incredibly heavy rain all night, thunder and lightning. I couldn’t sleep because it was so loud.

Around 3am somebody(?) shined a flashlight on my tent for what felt like a solid minute. I was in a campground but pretty far from other people (most camp up in a field, i like to walk down into the woods to be alone).

On a normal night I would find this creepy, but for somebody to be walking around down there in a crazy thunderstorm is really weird. If it wasn’t raining so hard I would’ve poked my head out but I didn’t want to get drenched and get a ton of water into my tent.

 

This may sound dumb and without knowing the layout of the area this could be an easy yes/no to answer, is there any chance it was a headlight from a vehicle?

Trying to think of something rational - it’s pouring, people camping elsewhere say “fuck this!” and quickly try to pack up in leave or at the very least go to their vehicle and have it run for a minute or so.

With heavy rain maybe you wouldn’t be able to hear the car running?

Although even with heavy rain I feel it would have to be a super strong flashlight to match a vehicle headlight (although I guess maybe older vehicles or a headlight dimming and going through heavy rain may make it not as bright as usual and depending how far away it is could make it seem like a flashlight light)

 

my friend brought that up last night and it’s possible. Though I was kind of down a hill so I don’t know how the angle would work, but it’s more reassuring than some weird dude walking around the woods in a thunderstorm.

 

I would be scared out of my mind to camp alone under any circumstance.

 

That’s part of the fun of it though

 

Love nature. Love hiking. Love exploring parks and caves and rivers and creeks, etc.

But I ain't camping by myself in the middle of the night unless I have a death wish.

Lots of stuff coming out today, good excuse to bump this thread.

 

I need to see proof. Years of “credible” people saying we have aliens and I’ve yet to see anything. It does feel like it’s ramping up quite a bit, but the cynic in me thinks it’s all distraction. I want to believe. Show me evidence

Would you like to live deeeeeeeliciously?

 

I was reading My Best Friend's Exorcism and it mentioned this special and the uproar it caused afterwards. The height of satanic panic, but it's really funny and entertaining watch.

 

I just listened to an episode of Radio Rental where almost this exact thing happened and it reminded me of this post. The crazy part is those people posted their location on Facebook, they got super creeped out because even before they saw the lights, it just didn't feel right, so they booked it out of their campsite in the middle of the night and once they got back to civilization they checked Facebook and a friend had posted "Watch out for the lights in the woods". Apparently it's a known common occurrence in that area, and people experience weird shit going when they see them and as well as a large number of people going missing in that area.

 

oh damn I’ll need to give that a listen

 

Episode 42 released on 6/23/23. I usually just fast forward through the Rainn Wilson bullshit to the actual stories.

Obviously there are thousands of stories of ghost lights as well as super famous ones around the country that people see regularly. One of the few spooky things I would like to see personally.

 

Going to try and be as succinct as I can with this story. This is still super new (this morning) and this processing and any ideas/ reasoning at all are welcome!

I woke up this morning and immediately thought there was a centipede on one of my bedroom walls. My walls are generic middle america apartment white and this 2” thin streak is black and choppy.

I know for a fact that mark was not there when I went to bed. It has never been there. It was not made by me. I am positive if this because well, if I made a mark like that I would be pissed and even more pissed if I had to leave it how it looks and would end up covering it with paint or something so it didn’t stand out.

I also know it wasn’t there or caused by me because it is on the wall that is usually covered by my bedroom door. I sleep with my bedroom door closed, the rest of the time it is open. So to scratch / damage the wall, I would have to be moving something in my bedroom WITH the door closed which is just not something I’ve ever done lol

I tried wiping the mark away with hot water and soap, 409, and vinegar so far and nothing comes off. The rag literally looks no different afterwards. It’s also not a gouge into the wall, everything looks and feels the same, no indent marks. It’s also not something that’s just “on” the wall either.

I don’t have any pets (that I know of) so it’s not animal shit. I’m so perplexed and freaked out. It wasn’t there yesterday! There’s nothing above it like a vent or anything so it’s not something gross dropping from somewhere.

it makes no sense and now I’m legit looking everywhere in my apartment for a giant bug? Animal? Person?

is it mold? Would mold just randomly show up on an internal wall in one spot?

 

Also worth noting, it’s about 10” from the floor. There is an outlet about a foot to the right and this is a little lower than the bottom of the outlet.

 

Hmmm I don't have a explanation for what it is, but I bet a magic eraser would get it off.

 

great idea! Took about 20 minutes and two of the thin magic eraser pads but finally got it off. Still not sure if that makes it less or more on but I know for sure the very first thing I’m going to look at tonight when I come back home and wake up in the morning lol

 

It reminds me of that old Dane cook joke where he talked about breaking and entering and doing something weird like putting an object there that wasn't there before to trip the homeowners out. I'm prob doing a horrible job explaining it cause I haven't watched that comedy special since like high school. But what if there was a string of break ins where ppl leave streaks and smudges and that's it.

 

I remember that! Not very detailed but can picture that part in my head. There’s another comedian that talks about bringing a random knickknack to someone’s house when they’re there for dinner or whatever so their house doesn’t fill with junk. Always thought that was a good idea but just toss it if need be, no need to wait for a dinner with friends lol

What also is odd/irritating is that I’ve been breaking down Lego sets to free up room and I’ve been grouping certain pieces together and while there are fucking hundreds of contains, there was a small container of “candle flame” pieces that I have not been able to find for a few days now. It’s the only container that’s missing and I’m like “wtf did someone break in and steal that one goddamn container???”

I also can’t help but ALWAYS think of that lady that lived in a persons tiny storage closet thing above his kitchen and she would come out in the night to eat food and then sneak back in. I don’t have enough space in my apartment for that but it still freaks me out. At least I live on the second floor otherwise I’d be even more freaked.

 

Dane Cook is such a lame, but that bit was gold and I think of it often. I think it was he kicks the door in but takes nothing and the homeowner is left to wonder what was taken for the rest of their life.

 

Ironically enough I was watching a video on the Golden State Killer and before he got to the truly terrible stuff he would literally just rummage through all your shit, take 1 earring of a set and leave it at the scene of his next burglary, make and eat a sandwich, move pictures around, and would take something personal from the home but not take cash or anything valuable.
