I thought this would be a good place to discuss the mysterious things that happen in our life. I will tell you a few things that happened to me, then you can take the ball and run with it. Levitation- I have experienced this first hand. Years ago when I was a young boy I was coon hunting with my dad, this involved walking in the woods at night with a miners lamp on your cap. I had an urgent call of nature, so I went into the brush to take care of business. I was hunkered down, doing what comes natural, when a pup we were training, snuck up behind me and PUT HIS NOSE ON MY BARE BOTTOM! A grizzly bear had me, or so I thought! My feet never touched the ground all the way back to the truck, therefore levitation! #2. I bought a new tractor a while back and my wife didn't get upset with me. I think my real wife was abducted by ALIENS! She had been giving me the look ,on the first four, so something changed. I am anxious to hear tales( I mean true stories) of the unexplained from you guys and gals.

Nope to the dope! Just developed a warped sense of humor in an extremely high stress job. I test insect repellant. They spray me down and tell me to whack the hornets nest with a stick. Life is far too short to take it seriously! But while I am here did you realize that teenagers are the most intelligent creatures on the face of the earth! But they can be dangerous, if you get between them and food! Another case for strange phenomena!

O.K. I'll help you get this started./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

When I was in college, I borrowed my buddies '63 T-Bird to take on a date in order to impress the young lady I was going to spend the evening with. Bear in mind that this car was my buddies one true love./w3tcompact/icons/love.gif I'd better take care of it!!

After a movie, we were driving around trying to decide what we wanted to do. Yeah, yeah - I knew what I wanted to do, I just needed to convince her that she wanted to do the same thing!/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Anyway, I had driven down a very secluded two lane road when something to my left caught my eye, and at about the same time we felt a Thunk alongside the left rear quarter panel. I thought - Oh Great, some animal ran into the side of my buddies car! I stopped and we got out to check the car and to see if the animal had been killed. When we got to the back of the car, there was no animal to be seen, but on the side of the car there was the distinct impression of a handprint. It looked like someone had put their hand on the side of the car as it drove by them.

My "companion" asked if I had hit someone. I said that I didn't think so, but I couldn't tell what I had seen out of the corner of my eye. As we stood there trying to figure out what happened, I was looking all over the area for any sign of anybody. I happened to glance up a hill, and I could plainly see a man standing alongside a tree about 50 yards away. I asked the young lady if she could see him and she said yes, she could. I yelled up at the man to see if he was alright. He didn't respond - he just stood there./w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

I knew my buddy always kept a good flashlight in his trunk, so I opened the trunk and pulled it out. I looked back up the hill, and the man hadn't moved. I turned on the flashlight and aimed it at the man, and when the beam of light hit the tree, there was no man standing there!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif But as soon as I moved the light beam off of him, we could see him again!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I moved the beam of light back and forth two or three more times, and each time the man was standing there when the light was not on him, but he was not standing there when the light was on him!/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif I asked my date if she was seeing this too, and she said that she was. She asked me what I thought was going on, and I said that I didn't know and I didn't want to find out. We jumped in the car and took off!

The next day, my buddy called me to see how my date had gone (I had just dropped off his car left the night before without seeing him). I said fine but didn't add anything else. My date and I had agreed we were not going to mention the incident to anyone. He said that was good, but he did want to ask me about his car. Oh, Oh!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I asked what he meant, was there something wrong? He said no, but he was just wondering about the funny hand print on the left rear quarter panel!? I said that I didn't know anything about a hand print. He accepted that and hung up.

Personal Note: I know this sounds like a story, and I'm sure if someone told it to me, I'd be saying - Yeah, right! And that's O.K. if you do. Sometimes I'm not sure if I really believe it. But I know it happened to me and my date. And when we occassionally see each other at various activities, we still talk about - between ourselves!

/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif I have to admit, that's one explanation that never occurred to me!/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif Then again, if it was, we were really in big trouble. As I recall, her family was in Ohio and this happened in Wisconsin!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

I'll tell you this much. It never fails to cause the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up when I think about it, and this happened 33 years ago!

I'll add my one brush with the paranormal. Happened back in 1985. Just me and my wife at the time plus a small mutt for a dog.
We are both sleeping in bed. Suddenly I wake up - instantly! No gradual process. Boom I am awake and for some reason I am also afraid. Very afraid. Can't recall a nightmare - I just feel like there is evil about.
The dog is at the foot of the bed giving a low growl - not her usual high pitched bark. well being young and stupid I get up to investigate. Call the dog but she ignores the command. She stays on the bed with her neck up and the low growl.
Check the whole place. Every room, window and door. Even go outside. It is around 3AM so it is nice and quiet. Go back into the house. By now I have assured myself that all is normal. I have even shaken the sense of fear and evil that originally woke me.
I climb back in bed which wakes my wife. She pulls herself close and says "Hold me I just had a creepy feeling of an evil presence in the house" Well darn the hair on my neck stood up at that comment. I didn't tell her I was just investigating the same "evil feeling". She fell right back asleep but I was wide awake until the light of day filled the house.
After my wife was up and out of bed I told her of my night time adventure. Now it was time for her neck hair sto stand up.

Never did find out what "it" was but I have chills as I sit here typing this. Definitely creepy.

About 20 years ago I was driving home, about 2:30am, from Indiana heading towards Chicago with three friends in the car. Some yells MARK ! I look and there is a women standing in the middle of my lane /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif She was wearing a white gown and kinda looked like she had came from a very fancy party. I swerved just in the knick of time, I must have missed her by inches. I saw into her eyes as I passed. She never even blinked. As I looked in the rear view mirror, the dress blew in the wind from the car. But she never moved. That’s just not right and my hair is standing straight up. After we all calm down, a few miles later my buddy says “Look, there she is again” I thought I was going to loose it. And then I got very mad because he was only kidding /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif

What is "coon" hunting??

Over here, "coon" is a very derogatory remark for our native aboriginals.

So if we were coon hunting, we would be in all sorts of trouble........
