Exactly what's on the tin. Tell a story that you can't explain how it happened, whether it's funny or scary. If anyone has an explanation, you can post that as well! Here's mine:

Foe the last couple of months I've had some sort of insomnia and felt tired, regardless of how much I have gotten. Lately, I've also heard weird scratching noises in my room, too. I thought it was just a mouse or something, but these scratches just kept getting louder, as if someone was scratching their hand against the wall. Then, just yesterday, I got home from school and when I was hooking up my computer, I felt a warm sensation. I thought I accidentally left my heater on the whole day, so as I turned around to turn it off only to see that it was off. (ie: unplugged) I called in my dad and sis (my mom was at work) and they felt it, too! It was only after about 30 minutes that the heater stopped giving off heat. I'm still not sure what all that's about.

A power outtage? Might be that. It just so happens that the power was out while you were coming back home.

Hi Stick Ampora. My sis was home the whole time, and she never mentioned any power outage. Also, as I said earlier, the heater was unplugged the whole time. I always unplug the heat before I go to school. (cheap dad and stuff) Stuff like this doesn't really help my insomnia.

well, my coffee pot keeps turning off, and once, when I had set my cup in the middle of the counter, it fell off the edge (wierd huh?) and spilled all over. that same day, my brother said he heard the vaccuum on in my room, despite me being at school (he is about 30). he didnt realize that I was at school, because he was groggy, so he thaught nothng of it.
Explain that.

Every now and then my PC speakers release a loud static-like series of beeps. It does this at random intervals completely regardless of what my computer is doing. Its loud regardless of volume…and power

Even with my speakers switched off I have heard them emit this sequence of beeps in the middle of the night and it is always the same sequence of beeps with a hint of static. "BEEP-bebebeep-bebebeep-bebebeep" something like that.

I'm sure that it isn't my mothership sending me the signal to begin the invasion so my best explanation is power surges which are forcing voltage into the speakers.

That's interference from an iPhone or other type of phone checking its message server. I hear that all the time too.

That reminds me of something similar that happened to me when I was a kid. Only replace you with my sister and vaccuum with laughter.

Oh boy where to start.

The earliest weird shit happened in my Grandparents house which they have since moved out of. My parents and grandparents complained of hearing footsteps coming from the upstairs when no one was up there, everyone watched as a rocking chair in the corner of a room rocked itself and stopped instantly when we asked it to stop, and every single person in my family claimed of seeing some guy dressed in a Civil War Union uniform at least once.

More recently my family and I moved out of our last house because we constantly saw silhouettes of both small children and adults, heard really fucking loud banging sounds coming from the attic, had an incredibly bizarre and intense sense of dread when alone in the house, and had several items go missing such as keys and antiques.

Also my dead uncle's music box, which is broken and physically unable to play, plays on its own for no reason.

True stories, bro.

I used to have a dog, dog died, keep thinking I see a little white dog when I turn my head fast enough, used to him following me, so like I think hes there, so I got another dog, problem fixed. It must be like how you lose an arm, and still think it is there.

I was chilling on the couch one fine evening. And I had all these delicious burgers, right?
I eat one. 5 minutes later, my fucking burgers are gone. Who ate all my burgers? FUUUUU

The fact I somehow became a brony.
In seriousness though, whenever I'm downloading something and have my PS3 on, the TV speakers go all static-y. Whether I'm downloading something from the PlayStation Store or the PC, if I have my PS3 on, the TV is static-y. It's annoying.

Sometimes the doorbell rings, but when I open there's nobody outside.

My parents tell me it were just some kids joking around, but I know they're lying.

Some times I stay in the house alone for long periods of time while the dogs are outside and I was just in my room, you know on KYM. But I…I…smelt a fart that wasn't mine…I know very well when I fart but I heard one and smelt it and the only living creature in the house was me…

True stories, bro.

Reminds me of the stories my Mother told of her childhood.

For example, when she was moving from city to city with her family and her parents found this old house in Houston to stay in for the meanwhile. The house had five rooms on top and five on bottom. It had wooden sliding doors, she described everything as beautiful. But my grandma always told my mom and her sibling to not go to the last door to the right, which lead to the attic. Being children, they didn't listen. My mom noticed that the door had nails that pointed inside-outward, so she and her siblings tried to hammer the nails in, but they got caught half way through. The next morning, they went back to hammer the rest out only to find that the nails that fell on the other side were back in the holes where they were the day before! As most people would be, they were scared shitless and never went back to that door. And they stayed in the house, only to be confronted by a haunted puppet, but that's for another day.

Ah, I just remembered something from when I was younger!

I was still in middle school at the time and I didn't really like my father that much. And by that I mean we argued 'til night's end. One night in particular had us all red faced and extremely angry, so I stormed to my room. I got so angry my face got flustered and everything went blurry. When I re-positioned my eyes, an ominous dark could appeared in front of me. I thought it was smoke from my mom because she was a smoker so I checked the other room.Then I remembered that she was at a friends house at the time. A little freaked out, I tried thinking happy thoughts to keep my mind off that thing.

After a while, the smoke turned white and eventually puffed away. Since then it never happened to me again since I fixed my anger issues, but then a few other things happened. We'll get to that later when things pick up again.

WELP, I just noticed today it's Friday the 13th and there are cops surrounding my neighborhood. It's not a first, but this hasn't happened since a fire sprung up here years ago. I'm not sure what it is, but the news van just came up.

That aside, Friday the 13th is here and I'm sure lots of odd things will happen to us. Continue…

I played so much Dead Space last night that I kept dreaming with mutant lifeforms and demons.
It's funny because that could be classified as nightmares but for some reason I got over nightmares long time ago and if the dream gets too awkward I am able to stop it at anytime, wake up temporarily and get back to sleep with no effort. All this without any trace of fear.

I guess this isn't a completely personal story since it contained several KYM nembers whose names I will change for privacy, but here we go:
I was in the irc a day ago or maybe two, when Dick Hobo, one of our few female members, came in and began to talk. She spoke mainly to Moar Gunz, another of our lady friends, mostly about normal things such as porn not doing it for them if the dick isn't their boy friends' size, inny vagina being better than outy vagina, preferred methods of removing pubic hair, being muscular and working out, the so called "gap". In the middle of this pleasant conversation however, something slipped in that was too big to fit, Dick Hobo's boy friend's foot long dick. I know that dicks can be long, but how d-
Oh wait, she said he was Black/Columbian. Never mind. My story has been explained.

I am reminded of the time that I dreamt that I was playing TF2. However, it was more that I was one of the mercenaries, rather than playing, but I still had my HUD; set up to my exact preferences. The thing was, I could feel my mind working, strategizing and planning an assault, sleeping; but still using more brain power than if I looked at a map written in inequalities. When I woke up, I felt strange, like I'd smashed my face against the wall untill I saw stars and passed out. It also doesn't help that I coulda sword I saw a Demo-knight huddled in my closet next to my guitars.

Well, one time when I was sitting on a bench outside, I saw a UFO fly above my head. It was a sapphire-blue light with red lights circling around it and it moved in a jagged pattern. I can't remember for the life of me what happened right after, for the next thing I know, I'm standing next to the shed that was next door.

That happened to me once a few years back, except for the shed thing. Did you feel vibrations as well?

Well, this happened recently. It was about 3:30 AM, and I was sleeping in bed. I then randomly heard my toilet flush. I went over to see if my sister was in the toilet. No one was there. I then went back to my bed again. 3 Minutes later, I hear the toilet flush again. Again, no one was there. I inspected the toilet a little more, just in case the flush button was stuck, but no, it was perfectly fine. I'm started to get scared now………………….

I woke up this morning at about 11:00. I adjust my alarm clock for the weekend. After I switched over and fixed my alarm, I switched back to the current time, and I swear to god I saw 11:02; and it magically zapped itself over to 11:05. I checked every clock in my house, and they all corrosponded to what mine said. What the hell.

Now for my story.

Lately, I've been hearing strange whispers. A man and a women's voice. It's usually whispers of my name or the word "get out". There was one time I was walking to the window and I thought I saw a child with glowing gold hair in our front yard. When I did a double take, he/she/it was gone. Freaked the hell out of me. I also saw a white figure walking/floating/flying in the forest behind my backyard.
My dog also constantly stares in the backyard. But more or less, I can explain the white figures as birds, but you never know.

Oh god, I don't get this. A couple of hours ago I was on the verge of drawing something, and then I woke up the following hour. I didn't remember taking a nap, so I tried to finish my drawing. I woke up again 30 minutes later. This is not the first time it's happened, but twice!? I'll post the pic in Pony General since it's pony related.

I just bought Dead Space, and before you know it I am literally fighting a giant asshole with worms coming out of it, trying to swing at me,and shooting poo pellets at me, this is what I get for buying an EA game.

This has probably happened to a lot of people, but………..
I just woke up one morning, 7:30AM. I was really tiered. So I closed my eyes again for literally one second, and when I opened my eyes, it was 9:24. WTF?

you must have some serious pony related psychological issues.

I used to see a lot of that shit when I was younger. I have 3 stories for you , 2 of them involve , one of them involves .
Story 1. I used to see a lot of crazy shit out my window when I was young, to the point that I was scared to look out my windows at night. The first thing I really remember seeing was something that looked like this (Quick Sketch). The dot at the top was red, and the rest changed colors while rotating around the object in the sky. I had no idea what this was or what was happening, and still don't. Anybody who recognizes this, tell me.

Odd occurrence you got there.

Well, I was looking at my phone and for some reason I have bunch of texts saying stuff like "Hi bestfriend." The thing is that none of my friends know my number (I'm lazy like that) and it's from an unknown number. I was a little creeped out and so asked my sis about it. (She usually fixes my phones since my first one) She got a little confused and I asked why. Apparently I've had texts like these since I've had my first phone. I'm scared and confused.

Call the number, put it on speakerphone, record the results.

People here are not like people on Fj. they dont take kindly to bad trolls. some threads require some seriousness, so be aware of that.
AHEM. People of kym! False alarm. Move on.
     Anyways, Recently it snowed here in janesville, wi. The snow came all in one day, and all but stopped near Eight o' clock. It was around this time that I was walking home, and I noticed weird tracks around my house.
First, there were hoof prints leading around the front of the house, each about 10 cm. in lengh.
next, there were large paw prints (14 cm. in lengh) in random directions.
the freaky part is, there were wierd prints that I couldnt identify.
It was a whopping 30 cm, and consisted of a long oval-ish shape, with two curved triangles coming from the top, and one curved triangle coming from the side.
It started at MY window, and led into the street.
Please help identify the prints if you know what it was.
