Premonition?
Back in the 1980's my wife and I were driving home from a concert at the Hammersmith Palais (I think that was the venue). A guy stepped out in front of a car travelling in the opposite direction and went head first through the windscreen. We stopped to help and I did what I could until the the emergency services arrived. The ambulance loaded the patient, he didn't die and was unconscious with suspected spinal injuries.
We waited to give a statement to the police and whilst waiting I did my best to console the uninjured car driver. She was hysterical and I assured her that it wasn't her fault and that the guy was still alive.
She kept screaming "No. You don't understand."
She eventually explained that she had been sleeping an hour earlier and had dreamt this exact scenario.
She even said, in the style of The Wizard of Oz, "...and you were there too."
Stress reaction playing tricks on the mind? I dunno...

Well... I didn't think it was creepy, but I'm sure some people would
As some of you will know, my girlfriend and fellow b3tan Jessie was killed in a car accident last year.

A few weeks after the accident, her mum came to visit me for the day, and brought me a small bag of Jess' ashes. They were in a plastic bag, which Jess' mum had then put in one of those velvety-type plastic drawstring bags you sometimes get jewellery in. I had a nice afternoon with my almost-mother-in-law, then we had to say our goodbyes as I had a band practice and she had to get home.

Returning home around 11 that night, I decided I wanted to see what the ashes looked like. I loosened the drawstring on the bag and took out the inner, clear plastic bag.

My dog was in the room with me as he always is. At the exact moment I took the inner bag out he started barking, and wouldn't stop. When I looked at him, his eyes were locked on the bag of ashes. As soon as I put it back in the drawstring bag, he fell silent.

So, my story is "my dog barked". Only, in the 14 months I've lived with him, that's the only time he's ever barked like that. Occasionally he'll let out a little bark, like if someone knocks on the door or something - but this was a continuous bark that didn't stop until I put the ashes away. I have no idea why; I don't want to get into discussions about what happens when you die. He could sense something that I couldn't, though.

Oh, of course.
The entirety of 1408 by Stephen King. Not the film, the short story. Utterly terrifying.
The film actually mitigated it massively, partly because John Cusack's acting-fu was not strong, but mostly because I was laughing so hard at the choice of casting for the character of Olin the manager, who is explicitly described in the story as short, nervous, white, chubby and sweaty.

Creepy visitor
One day I'm sat in my flat I can't remember what I was doing but I was disturbed by a knock on the door. As I went to open it, my flat mate was approaching the door to open it. She was a timid girl who found strangers scary, so I went with her to answer. At the door was the oddest looking man I've ever seen. He was short, looked about 60, gray hair sticking out from under a baseball cap and the thickest set of glasses I've ever seen.

"Hello!" I said with a smile. He said nothing, but pulled out an electronic device he began to tap at. My friend shot me a concerned glance. "Can I help you?" I asked. "Are you the ocupier of this house?" asked the man in a flat monotone voice. "Yes, we are." I confirmed. "I am coming in to read your gas meter." stated the man. My friend caught my eye again, she looked worried. "Have you got any ID mate?" I questioned, remembering my lessons from the real hustle. Wordlessly, he produces an ID for the gas company, I look at it and conclude I have no idea what I'm meant to see to prove he won't kill and/or rape us. "Ok mate, I'll show you to the meter." I say.

Walking down the hall, he continues to be creepy, you know when you pass an open door in a house you haven't been in you glance in? He just stared, drinking in the detail. My friend is clearly uncomfortable, I'm trying to look as big as possible, shoulders back, chest puffed out. I lead him to the meter. "That the right one?" I ask. He dosen't respond, gets the device out, types more, plugs it into the meter, taps some more. Finally, about 30 seconds later he unplugs the device and taps a few more times. "That is the meter, I have read it, sign this form." I signed the form, handed it over and watched as he turned around and left without a word. I followed, locked the door and turned to my flat mate. She had been freaked out by him, I found him unsettling.

He didn't do anything bad, but I'd not let him work with children or animals, or indeed any members of the public. Creepy bastard.

roughly 6 years ago?
The frankly horrendous ex-girlfriend lost her battle axe of a grandmother to a highly potent form of cancer, now, no woman I have known deserved it more than this arse faced old carrot, but never the less, the ex (hereby known as CUNT) was quite upset.
Fast forward a few week, and the strangely lumpy ashes are ready to be picked up, a job taken on by CUNT and CUNTS mum. Rather creepily in itself, they decide to take out a spoonful of ashes each to keep as some sort of bizarre memento, they are thusly deposited into a small cardboard gift box and placed in a bedside cabinet (typing it, it seems even more odd than I thought at the time).

Later that night (roughly 1am).....

An earthquake, or tremor, as is probably the correct terminology hits the area we live in, the area we live in is Barnsley, so, a very rare occurrence indeed, wardrobes shake, the TV edges off its stand and falls to the floor, my underpants are almost filled with excrement, the usual scary stuff associated with natural disasters. Now, my sleepy head can only make sense of this by assuming that the ashes of the CUNTS nan are a bit pissed off about being separated from its mates and are showing their displeasure by going all poltergeisty. In short, its the only time in my life I've believed in ghosts, literally the most scared I have ever been, I just lay there, frozen, feeling on the edge of having a heart attack at a very premature age.

Then, to add insult to injury, my phone went beserk with message tone after message tone, each and every message asking something along the lines of can you drop a gram of coke off at my mates house? 'OMG OMG DID YOU FEEL THAT????'

well, dear reader, I did feel it. You know who didn't feel it? Thats right, the CUNT, she was still fast asleep, probably dreaming of emptying my bank account fraudulently a full 2 years after we split up. Should stabbed her through her black heart at that exact moment.

Personally, I dont think this story went anywhere. Sorry

Behind my flat is the roof of the sex shop beneath, extending out for its stock room.
My bedroom is next to this, and there is a street lamp in the distance somewhere which shines through my curtains.

My biggest fear at the moment, and for the last two years, is that someone will creep across the sex shop roof and jump through my bedroom window and get me. Because of the street lamp, if this were to happen, a silhouette would appear on my curtains before I'm got. I've lay awake for many hours thinking what I would do if this angry axe-wielding silhouette were to appear; my conclusion so far has been to either hide under my duvet and whimper or pre-emptively charge the window with a maglite. For now I just lay awake staring at my curtains waiting for it to happen.

Someone has recently installed a security light, somewhere, which means whenever the wind blows or a fox scrabbles across a wall - I am wide awake, peering from my duvet, awaiting death.

A few weeks ago I was, once again, wide awake and terrified. The security light was jumping on and off. There had been shadows on my curtains. There were horrible inhuman noises and constant banging and crashing. This lasted for up to half an hour (I had my phone beside me; I had nearly dialled two nines) before I braved the blinds in the kitchen (these allow me to peer out onto the scary-roof). I could barely walk for the fear and had to turn every single light on in the flat.

I silently lift one of the metal blinds on the kitchen window and put my eye to the gap, expecting a demon or armed robber or escaped bear or something equally horrible. Nope. There was a tiny kitten playing with a little mouse. The little kitten would jump in the air and land on the mouse and catch it in his paws. Then he would try and look at it, the mouse would escape and they'd both make horrible (but now quite cute) noises and then it would start again.

That was probably too long for a "I saw a cat" post. Sorry.

Albert Fish.


Take a good look at him. Rather unremarkable old fellow, isn't he? If you passed him in the street you wouldn't give him a second thought.

Read this.

The highlights: he thoroughly enjoyed raping, torturing and killing small children, then eating the bodies. He loved pain, both inflicting and receiving, to the point where he took up sticking needles into the area between his scrotum and his anus and had lost 28 of them inside him. And after killing and eating the children, he would send the parents letters describing it to them. The letter that he sent that ended up getting him caught closed with "How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me 9 days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her tho I could of had I wished. She died a virgin."

Pleasant dreams.

Doom 3
Love it or hate it - it was a bloody scary in places. Mainly because it's so dark. When I get to a level where I can see more than a thin sliver of torchlight it's a relief. First 'spare underpants time' bit must be when a door opens and that thing leaps at you, and an off-key shrill "wheuuuuuuup" noise emits through the speakers.

And whatever you do, when you are in the changing rooms; don't look in the mirror....

baaaa
When I was pre-teen, my brother and I used to stay at my dads every other weekend. Often we'd spend Sadturday exploring and playing in the pretty large woods that joined the top of the street. My brother often tried to put the shits up me about devil worshippers and such. I'd also heard stories about a coven of witches in a nearby village. My brother told me about a kid who'd been bullied and tortured around there years ago, but I think that was bull.

One such day we were a few miles away from the house, on pretty much the opposite side of the woods where they bordered some fields. We found a small clearing, a good few minutes walk away from even the nearest track. In the clearing there was a fire-circle and a really big flat-topped rock off to one side. On the big rock was a sheep skull with a ring of pebbles around it.

Needless to say, off we fucked rather sharpishly. But not before i'd taken the skull as a macabre ornament for my room!

the final explanation and the resultant scene as a girl is nearly a victim of it, and her seeing all the previous people who were in various states of decay surrounding her, has to have been one of the most surprisingly disturbing things I have ever seen depicted in fiction, not least of which because it was Jonathon fecking Creek FFS and you just weren't expecting anything that horribly disturbing!
