The_Doctor posted:I would like to hear this story very much. It was more ‘normal’ ghost poo poo- I’d often hear footsteps in the landing when I went to the loo late at night. Bathroom door was made of that wavy looking glass so you could see shapes in the landing if the light was on. Often would have footsteps come up to the bathroom door while I was taking a poo poo or in the bath, but there’d be nothing in the landing. My then girlfriend when she later moved in with me would occasionally wake up to see an elderly looking woman at the foot of the bed for a few seconds, though I never saw her. And sometimes there’d be a voice talking in the kitchen late at night- could never really make out words though. Tbh it was the levitating pie tins I found the most interesting.

Do I just roll up and tap my card?

Note the name of the auto car wash and then search it on YouTube. It’s exact the kind of thing a group of nerds will have been documenting.

I don't want to cause a blockage You usually need to go into the petrol station shop and tell them what you want and pay there, they'll give you a reciept with a code and you just plonk that in the car wash as you drive in. Then it tells you when to stop when drive in. Some have the sale points on the outside, so you might need to tap the card there. Just use a rainwater one if you can, because they're very wasteful

I am watching the IPL and listened to a bit of Elgar earlier. When Land of Hope and Glory came on I even stood up and put my hand over my heart like wot the football players do. I might go to the shop and get some fizzy pop and sweeties in a little while.

I've forgotten how to negotiate crowds: dozy idiots keep getting in MY way and I get mad at them. More seriously, after a period of being able to get in and out of a sandwich shop in under a minute, there's been the unwelcome return of the Dithering customer, which has delayed my lunch on several occasions now.

hemale in pain posted:I love reading ghost stuff so thanks for posting this The_Doctor posted:Fantastic stuff, thanks! I love reading about people's personal spooky goings-on. I mean, I do have other stories. My parents own a large farmhouse in northern France that they bought as a near derelict wreck in the late 80s and have since through a combination of their own work and throwing a lot of trade to the local clan of builders turned it into an amazingly nice holiday home. There’s been a building on the site since the 1400s, the oldest date we can confirm is that the house was expanded, refurbished and repaired in the 1680s when it was at least 100 years old. So this place dates back somewhat. It was once the brewery for a local religious institution (long since vanished) and has lasted and been expanded on over the years. A few years after first acquiring it my folks had got it to a liveable state and started renting it out when we weren’t staying there. They kept a visitor’s book for guests to leave comments and the like. We started seeing messages in it about footsteps in one of the upstairs passages at 4 in the morning. This passageway runs the length of the ‘farmhouse’ section, which dates back about 250 years (as opposed to the ‘Old House’, which is the original section and at the time in question was still derelict, missing stairs and chunks of floor) and has all the bedrooms open onto it. Multiple guests reported heavy tramping footsteps in it. My mum first heard them in November 1992- we’d gone straight to the house from the funeral of a close friend and colleague of hers who died very young, so she was naturally very upset and couldn’t sleep. The master bedroom was at one end of the passageway, the “kids’ room” at the other, so she thought for a moment either myself or my brother were sleepwalking (this was when I was 11, my brother a fair bit younger). Then she realised this was the tread of a man in boots, not a bare footed small boy. She shot out of bed to check on things, but the corridor was empty.. I didn’t experience anything myself until Easter 1994. It was actually the first time we’d been left entirely alone in the house- my parents had gone to the next village over for a meeting at the bank there. My brother and I were in the playroom (had/still has a table tennis table, foosball table and more beat up sofas for us kids to mess around on) which runs directly below the passageway in question. I think we were dicking around with my brand new airsoft pistol (they’d just started to turn up in this hemisphere) when we heard the sound of heavy tramping footsteps from upstairs, stomping back and forth along the passageway. We knew we were alone in the house- we also didn’t know about what other people had heard (parents had decided to keep it secret from us), so as you can probably imagine we both freaked out. We ended up breaking open the gun cabinet and arming ourselves with air rifles before checking upstairs- the footsteps stopped once we started up the staircase, then resumed after we went back downstairs. This went on for what seemed like hours, but was in reality about 40 minutes or so- our parents came back to find us barricaded in the playroom- twitchy, scared and armed to the teeth. To their credit they then explained that other people had heard things too, that it was ok that we were scared but that whatever it was couldn’t hurt us. Over the years I heard the 4am footsteps quite a few times- generally when someone in the household was either ill or grieving. And while they always scared me on hearing them, I rather liked the idea that whatever it was was somehow checking on us. As a tangent, the Easter period seems significant to the haunting somehow- the only time we experienced anything during the day was always on Good Friday. Good Friday 2002 I was up late due to a gnarly stomach bug, while the rest of the family was at a party with local friends. I was in the dining room on my laptop, logged into some MU* game or other when I happened to look up from my screen. In the doorway (which opened onto the foot of the stairs, opposite the playroom) I saw what I can only describe as a shadow cast on nothing. The shadow figure seemed to be male, about 5’6” and of quite stocky build. Was there for about five seconds, then just melted away to nothing. I was rather impressed with myself- I was able to touch-type out ‘guys I am looking at a loving ghost’ to the people I was roleplaying with on the MU* without taking my eyes off it. Last time I heard anything for definite was Good Friday 2005, when my whole family were gathered in the courtyard making plans for a big party we were throwing later in the year. I popped inside to get a glass of water and heard someone go up the stairs, which I thought nothing of.. until I went back into the courtyard and saw everyone still gathered there. We did some research and asked around the local folk to see if we could figure out a cause. Apparently there was a legend attached to the house related to a manservant of the family living there in the early 1800s. This guy, known as ‘Gaston’ in the stories, apparently was super dedicated to the family’s children, and died either during a fire or a robbery (we heard both versions) protecting them. It was one of those old legends in the village that the old-timers passed amongst themselves at the bar.

I just went into the kitchen, put the kettle on, put teabag in mug, and in the act of turning around to get milk out of the fridge thought to myself "I should put the kettle on and make some more tea". That's it, I'm done. The dementia is here already.

I had a spooky ghost encounter camped in a bothy doing the south west coast path many years ago. It had a small mezzanine hayloft type thing that sounded like something was creaking back and forth on it all night, even though there was no wind.

Spent the afternoon in the hot tub, I'm no longer being a bitch about the wife buying the tub. 40°c is beautiful heat to sit in and chill with a gin and tonic. £300 well spent. Whole setup for 300 that is, including some sponge jigsaw matting, protective cover and thermal cover (with added aftermarket insulation inserts) plus a brand new clearwater spa starter and maintainance kit, an extra bottle of chlorine powder, four new filters, outdoor insulated extention lead, an extra pack of ph/chlorine tester strips and plastic clip on drinks holder.

Hot tubs are great. We moved here just before Christmas and the house came with a permanent one on the decking. Got a looot of use out of it this week. Just be careful- they can get super gross very easily

Yea, I'm intent on chucking the chems in it every day and keeping it clean. Benefit of it being a blow up is we can collapse and store it away during the winter so we don't have to do a full recommision and clean.

Yeah, I had to clean ours out a few weeks back as we’d not used it over winter. While better than it could have been, it was still pretty loving gross.
